Grats! I also must ask, how did you make the gift of war prosperity? I can seem to find it anywhere though I know it has to exist.

I plan on doing it the “quick” way :P

personaly I found it on wiki, but I have no idea where wiki got it from

the gift of battle has the recipe in the text of it now, they updated it:
“Used to create the Gifts. Combine with 15 Mystic Clovers, Gift of Condensed Might, and Gift of Condensed Magic in the Mystic Forge to create the Gift of War Prosperity.”

yes you will get bags and wexp, just use the shouts or something and autoattack as you’re going through the zerg, no need to switch to a staff just for loot purposes

2. More control as far as Tactivators, Supply, Siege-Placement ect. by control I mean, if a guild claims a point, such as a tower/keep or supply camp, their members are the only ones able to perform certain duties, to prevent trolling/griefing by alt account using children. Alliances could be formed, so more than one guild can perform these actions, incase of the claimer not being there.

This is already a thing for tactivators. There’s a setting that allows everyone to pull them or just guild members with the permission. The problem with having the one with only the guild permissions is if say smc is under attack and they REALLY need to pull chilling fog or ewp, but none of the players from that guild are on and they lose it due to not being able to use the tactics. I’m not really sure of a way that you can actually fix this trolling/griefing without a downfall

All of the above could do well in roaming solo as well as zergs, depending on the builds. However, I’d say ele is better as a healer in zergs and warrior is better roaming. Guard is great for zerging, not sure about how it is with solo roaming. Hope this helped, basically can play all of those anywhere though

Why only in fire? Otherwise you can always try out a build in PvP although it isn’t exactly the same, it’ll help get a feeling if the build is okay or not. I don’t know much about condi ele, but it seems like it may not work if you just stay in fire all the time with the current meta since you wont have access to other condis as much. I’m interested in learning to play a condi ele as well, hope you get a more helpful response than this lol

As an ele i usually rely on using chills, knockdowns, stuns, or other cc that will limit their mobility. Also as ele make sure you have some sort of last resort button/proc ready (like having the trait for arcane shield or using arcane shield, mist form, armor of earth, etc). When they stealth, I feel it is the best if I stay moving and try to time their backstab attempts. Not sure if what I’m doing is optimal but it works well enough, interested to see what other eles/classes do. Really like the idea of the thread

I think that’d be a pretty cool idea, maybe just make it have a bunch of health though so its not too easy to take down

Kite.2510:

“The team that controls Stonemist may now send invaders into other worlds’ dungeons and raid instances. Invaders will be represented by a red glow.”
Sending red Phantom invaders to Fractals would be fantastic… and by giving an excuse to stay near and defend a WvW base for once no less! The odds will always be stacked against the invader as he’ll have to deal with 5 players, and the system could prioritize sending him to instances where the players clearly have the uper hand and are finishing it with little effort. A seasoned pvper will always find ways to make the most against the unprepared.

1. This would lead to the PvE community complaining they keep dying because they’re mostly in zerker and a good thief or roamer would be a big obstacle, probably too big
2. PvE is in a megaserver, so how would they decipher who is in what server, all 5 of the people in the dungeon/fractal could be on different servers

It was a nice joke though

Please tell me you’re kidding and know it’s a joke

Edit- now that I think about it, it can’t even be possible, its a megaserver for pve

If the guardian got the longbow and now has all of the spirit weapons, Mesmer got shield (phantasmal defender) and may get axe, we could get a greatsword and maybe Anet will give eles some condi and bring burn eles back or something

This seems pretty cool, I’d absolutely try it out, but the chances of anet doing something to make wvw better/more popular are slim. Really cool idea though!

I’m not sure I agree about the boats idea, but a fights-oriented map would be cool

I don’t know about anyone else, but if they do this map swap idea, I think it’d be time for me to stop playing gw2. I don’t think many people who like the EoTM map, maybe it’s just me, idk. I also was not in support of the desert borderlands, I feel like they’re too pveish, and haven’t gone on them since they were added. Again idk if it’s just me, but I would hate this change

If you need gift of battle, go to EoTM, please stay away from main wvw maps, especially since you say you won’t be doing anything productive for the zerg, all you need to do is press 1 in edge

I’m not sure how this would exactly work, but what do you guys think of a wvw traitline; you’d have your normal class traits and everything, but then for wvw there were 3 more traitlines you could spec into instead of everyone having every trait for WvW. Maybe having a trailine for siege master, with the siege might, ram mastery, etc and another one for commander, with the siege placement and maybe some new traits. Maybe even make some of the current traits (like supply master and build/repair master) automatically given to everyone

I’m not sure how anyone else feels, maybe it’s just me, but I feel like legendaries should include all parts of the game (WvW, PvP, and PvE). For example, I feel like the legendaries shouldve required either 3 gifts (1 for each game mode) and the precursor. Alternatively, the gift of mastery could involve something from PvP, since it already requires gift of battle from WvW and the gift of exploration from PvE.

This isn’t gw2skills but it shows the current meta for staff eles. The top build is a tempest build btw, which is exclusive to heart of thorns. The bottom build is for vanilla ele staff, which is decent, but not the meta currently. Hope this helps

Peppel.9736:

Heya,

I am always wondering why there are 2 chats in WvW? Both have the same function.

My suggestion or idea:
Through the upcoming shortened Server Linking, one could divide them.

EXAMPLE:

• Team Chat – only for the Home Server (WSR)
• Map Chat – for server connections (RoF + WSR)

There are conversations that are not interested or needs to know of other server
z. B. guilds recruiting or promote the website. This separate chat would simplify it, especially with the short connection time.

The guest server (like us) have “disappeared” These are no longer displayed in the game, the players / guilds you no longer know who is which server. It would also back a small piece of the server community be prepared.

If anything was done about this, I’d suggest having a map chat that allows players from different opposing servers to talk together, say for a GvG or dueling

In my experience of pvp (also in sapphire), I have never thought as eles as op in this patch, I think they’re fine as well

Shirk.6421:

I’d really like a voice-chat for WvW.
Being able to choose between of this 3 options:

-getting in a chatroom with the commander and the other players with him. (right clicking on the commander tag – join voice-chat)

-a voice-chat for parties (also outside of WvW)

-an open-area voice-chat. You can speak with every friendly player in your radius of sight (the radius in which players are also marked as green dots on your map)

Yeah, i agree 100% with that^ hopefully they will add this soon

Just a random thought I’m throwing out there, but maybe a voice chat? Especially for WvW, because some people don’t have teamspeak, ventrilo, or other programs of that sort. Most commanders that lead the zergs always say, “Everyone get on teamspeak!” “You won’t know what’s going on if you aren’t on ts!” etc. This would greatly impove the game imo so it’s easier to communicate. And, because of so many people in Lion’s Arch, maybe make the chat party/squad wide so it’s not spammed with people talking all at once.
Again, just a thought, so post whatever regarding this, and maybe this will get incorporated in the game, maybe not.
