The change for death nova to activate when the minion is killed by putrid explosion+the removal of the internal cooldown is a strait buff.

I changed it to the buffs portion I couldn’t find the original skill duration on the field which I just found. The orginal duration was 3 seconds.

Again this is why I give up solo roaming after 7 p.m. server time because of “Roaming Groups” like these its kindof pointless if you guys hang out in ruins ganking people. Shouldn’t you guys be taking larger groups instead of ganking people in Ruins?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!

My sides are busting right now seriously.

What the hell do you expect when you solo roam buttlust on a necro, especially after making yourself a target on the forums

Eh I knew that [AoN] was expecting me to post so I let them get a kick out of it. What else did you want?

i solo roam and can barely find people willing to fight without odds in their favor. It’s not just jq players who wont fight 1v1.

three [PiNK] thieves were in ruins on jqbl and if i managed to get one to wander off from from the other 2, he/she would cloak and dagger off an animal and run back to his buddies.

Don’t put your servers on some high pedestal because you think you fight unfair odds.

Please dont put your server on that same pedestal this is all I found when Roaming JQ BL during NA Prime time and Ocx times.

1st pic Ocx time
2nd pic NA time (I think Ganking Guild would fit better)

Cheers

Guilds that actually that I’ve seen so far is that [KoS] guy in the second pic and the Guild [Ark] guys I guess I will keep looking for all those other roamer guilds.

Have to agree. I was roaming on Mag on ele and saw the normal few JQ/TC that wouldn’t engage in a 1v1. Finally found a ranger to 1v1 at ruins which turned into a 1v2 and then a 1v3 which was too much for me. Then next I found a fun duel vs a p/d thief and things weren’t looking good for him but it was interrupted by a Mag guardian so he refuged and ran.

Same stories a couple more times so I just went to EB and to k-train/badge train between SM and blue keep. I guess this t1 1vx roaming has to be handed on thief or else in groups of 5-10… zzz

I’ve found that, when facing T1 servers any trickle of 1-2 players is usually a bad sign. Almost no one on these Tier 1 to Tier 1.5 servers run in groups of less than 10, so seeing a few people running around usually means there’s a roaming group or zerg somewhere close by that they’re trying to get back to, or are running ahead of.

This is particularly relevant of players from a few guilds you never see running blobs of less than 40, PiNK and HzH immediately coming to mind.

Yeah If i do see some the guilds that regularly blob I’ll start to run and WP unless they put me in combat Ill just fight till I die. You guys also run a very boon oriented team which means you probably run Cavs armor(sometimes mix armor) which makes you able to take on those larger groups but most of the people that I see roam are not usually running semi group oriented builds. This is just what I’ve noticed when seeing you guys fight. The 5-10 I usually consider a Havoc team or Ganking squad depending if they care about PPT or not.

@ Hexin.5603 I do have staff but swiftness will never be enough Necros are not made to exit combat unless they die or kill. I know you can do some stuff to get away its just in general once in combat always in combat. You can get away about 1/10th of the time but its usually futile so I just run into the zerg and die to speed up my death so I can go back to looking for other people.

Yeah during the times that its just not feasible for a necro to go solo which is when they roam props to them for roaming that time but I play the least mobile class in the game have you even tried necro?

You’re complaining about not finding solo roamers then say you’re often in a group. I solo roam a ton as a mesmer and I would just kitten right off if I saw a group of 3+ with a necro. I haven’t leveled a necro past 30 but I run into some when I’m out and they usually pressure me enough that I need to back off a bit.

Try another class maybe?

I’m not complaining I’m merely asking/ wanting to know where the solo roamers are when I do go solo. If you would read my posts above which i got an awesome response from. I wish I didn’t like to feed trolls but what class do you play?

Again I asked the times that the roamers play so I can fight you guys reread

There’s 1-3 of us that roam around TC/JQ from 7-10 server time almost every night. Not the whole time, we start early or late some nights, depends on what’s going on.

We even let each other 1v1 as long as the person we run into doesn’t look like they are about to run….. which isn’t often. [VR] tag.

Yeah you guys are almost out of reach I usually run out patience around that time looking for fair fights which is when, that time is usually the worst time to roam btw I’m usually on my necro so no escaping/running for me. I solo roam about 3-4 hours before you guys get on. So I’m usually in a group around that time due to that time slot being the most Zergy time of the day.

Blah blah blah blah blah blah.

You want anecdotes? I’ll start recording my roaming sessions and you can see how many zergs I get 1v1’d by.

I’m not saying that you guys don’t roam but when? But for a server that boasts of roamers I haven’t found many. I’ve actually been zerged/{ganked(5 people or more)} down by Mags during NA Prime Time than by JQ. Please don’t confuse Ganking with Roaming.

Here I will define them Ganking= looking for other roamers with bigger numbers than what roamers actually run usually.

Roaming= Looking for decent out-manned or even fights. a group of 5 is close to the term Gank squad because if your actually roaming you don’t usually have that many when running.

Please note I don’t condemn Ganking (except spawn camping) I just would like to find out what the real definition of roaming is. I tried to get OPP to see this but meh.

Pretty sure I’ve never seen anyone from TSF doing either, so I wouldn’t worry about it.

For those reading this thread this is my opinion and I just call it as I see it. Only point that I’m personally trying to make is that I don’t get why people claim things and not prove it. Hope to see you actually roaming GL on the battle field.

Thoughts from a occasional roamer, Zergling, Guild group squad Ganker , etc.(Carebears for the Win)

Class is Class doing it for a few minutes is acceptable because everybody gets caught up but for 15-20 min. of spawn camping shows they don’t have class. I’ve never said I’m looking for fair fights I’m asking what you ask the big boys do all the time spread out and show your self. I thought for sure that roamers would never conform the current meta guess I was wrong. FYI never claimed that I was a good roamer that claim was what your guild claims I’ve just never seen it hold true for more than a few minutes (Only Exceptions is the RIOT guy and the one Mesmer)

Let me put it another way – trying to get back to my guild and help them with a tower defence or open field battle is more important than spending five minutes trying to stay alive against players primarily built to kill me.

If I die fast I respawn fast so I get to my guild fast…….unless I meet roamers again ofc ;P

I know its hard to believe but fighting against roamers comes pretty down on my list of priorities.

I never said it was supposed to be your priority. It’s just really silly when you want to get back to a PPT objective, but we kill you and gain PPT for our server, and you didn’t even try to stop us. We still get PPT for stomps after all, its much lower than it was (sadly), but the free kills we get really add up… and those kills really shouldn’t be free.

A lot of the time, we end up camping a spawn just so people like that will fight us (because they have a group).

The other flip side of that coin (seeing as you brought PPT into the discussion) is while we are taking a tower, keep or even a camp, doesnt it seem a bit silly to just spawn camp or whatever it is you are doing to find your battles when you could be helping your server mates defend a objective?

Its silly that you want to fight but wont go to where we are fighting, you would rather wander in hope of finding some one instead of going to where you know definite action is. If your server mates are losing that defense, you are helping us gain those free kills you hate so much.

This was an argument we use to face against our fellow guilds back in the day, but this proves that many don’t understand the roaming philosophy.

Spawn camping does help because the following happens:

1) We kill you so there is less of you in your zerg for our zerg to fight.
2) It will demoralize people trying to get back to their zerg, especially pugs.
3) Usually most get fed up and group up trying to push out and actually give us what we want which is a good fight.
4) In some cases, we jump a commander trying to get back and we see the entire zerg go back to their WP to group up taking you off the battlefield for a couple of minutes.

They are small contributions compared to what we can do for holding bloodlust, but it is effective.

As for joining the zerg fight, sorry not going to happen. I have better uses of my time than joining a lagfest spamming 1 1 1 1 1 1 all day. If you guys like doing that go for it, just not the roamer’s mentality. Zergs have an importance, but so do roamer’s especially with the new bloodlust meta.

We just wish there were more T-1 roaming guilds on the other servers who like to fight so we can have our fun too. Zergs have all the fun. lol

Here is a classy response for spawn camping true class (Its barely acceptable to do even if you are completely even matched) This shows me even more that you’re looking to gank people not look for fights

Guess this is their definition of roaming the 2nd pic has more but they disappeared when taking it. I’m tired of Guilds claiming to roam when in fact I’ve never seen them by themselves to “Stand on Their two legs”.

Post Means
Don’t preach roaming if in fact you don’t solo roam or you roam with 5 or more.

Trying to preach how to roam but sitting on a wall behind the legendary guards yourself. How typical….

Blackgate has a lot of solo roamers, if our enemies get pushed back then there really isn’t anything to go out hunting for which results in our roamers gathering up in 1 spot. They’re hoping that numbers gather and that you’ll push out… Looking at the screenshot, you had numbers but yah…

I’m sorry this is the only pic or knowledge of one of your guild members being alone until in the end I got 1v3.

You should probably check the tag again. If you’re looking for one on one’s, the windmill is a great place. Open world pvp is well, open world pvp. Might I suggest to you a more mobile class? You seem to end up on the ground quite a bit.

I guess I stand corrected so I’ve never seen an OPP guy by himself. I’m just stating the facts the roaming is 1vW or at most 5vW after that your just looking for easy kills among the roamers. Even if its just 3 of yall plus pugs you always have to count them.

All I can say is keep trying bud. Some day you’ll figure it out.

My whole point is that you guys Gank people not roam your not looking for fights your looking to Gank people similar to how people in WOW did. I’m not claiming I don’t do it but to call your selves a roaming Guild is in fact a lie. My Guild doesn’t claim they don’t zerg, roam, defend, blah blah the guild claimes that they are roaming Guild I’m suggesting other wise. Not once did I say I’m looking for 1v1s. I guess I will keep trying and looking for “players that stand out” among the crowed.

Yeah I’ve seen a few people when the Dolyak Parades are really big make it past the guards and live until you get a little bit past the mid steps and get teleported back to the guards and die.

Sorry we aren’t roaming around an empty map, standing on two legs fighting the air before us. The warning label clearly denotes that Blackgate is not responsible for people who do not use the other 2 exits of their spawn.

If this post aimed at the exits it was merely to point out that a particular guild claims to roam doesn’t. I’ve never seen them stand on their two legs when im out solo roaming or running with a few guildies

[Merged]Stun warrior meta

in Warrior

Posted by: Dedelta.5018

Dedelta.5018

I main a necro btw and I have played against this build before it became popular.(Brother made the build to troll me on my necro). I played it yesterday and i pretty much face roll most classes but bomb engis, good Mesmers, and full bunker guardians.

Keep in mind this was before Necros had torment added and this is only SPvP. WvW was not meant to be balance but to an extent.( I wont go into detail because that would be pages and pages long)

Build
Weapons are GS(sigil of Force)/Mace(+15% stun duration), Sheild(50 % endurance) when swapping to this weapon.

Traits 10, 10, 30, 0, 20
2, 4, 5/8/9, 0, 3/4
Trinket: Zerker

Utilities: Healing Surge(heals for 10k with full Adrenalin(AD) bar) Bulls Charge, Berserker Stance, Dolyak Signet, and Signet of Rage

Amount of stuns available on demand 4 stuns
Skull Crack: 8 1/2 cool down only requires AD 4 second stun currently will be lowered on Oct Patch
Pommel Bash: Only 1 sec daze but still denies use of skills 15 sec cool down.
Shield Bash: 2 second stun until patch 30 Seconds
Bulls Charge: 2 sec knock down (40 second cool down)

Runes: Divinity

Total stun duration 10 seconds.

Necro Build is Dhuum fire build
Utilities: spectral walk and spectral armor tried blinding wells but not effective since hes a good player just waits out my long well with (condition immunity)

If you dont know most skills on necro take 3/4 seconds or higher to cast

My issues with the Warrior build
Unable to gain life force= dead Necro
If anybody jumps in the fight take hands off keyboard and die( if you dont know necros have the worst mobility in the game besides mesmer)
Built in Stability along with signet stability with short CD every 48 seconds and every 90 seconds(if spaming)
Condition Immunity=(fears lose effectiveness)
Skull crack clears most conditions (3 total)

Only way to counter this build for necros is go zerker and pop lich seriously only way that i found that effectively nullifies this build. If you don’t see why that is a problem then you should play one and see how long you last with 2 dodges and sub par dmg. Pros for going zerker on Necro easier to gain life force due to warhorn 5, dagger 1, and axe 2. Minions builds he says are little harder to beat but not by much.

After the patch I still have problems because I am not able to gain life force unless i bring a warhorn(have to be in meele if you didnt know gains only 1% LF second) Life Force also got harder to gain due to the nerf to gain life force has a 1 second cool down. Able to block my marks due to nerf to Staff nerf. All in all this build is basically a direct counter to the Dhuumfire build. I was only able to beat him about 1/10th of the time before the patch and now i can beat him about 3/10 times.

Assassin Medium Armor

So I was planning to buy the Assassin stat combo from the TP but the leggings for the Medium armor for this stat combo does not appear in the TP. The other armor pieces are all there just not the leggings. I had my brother craft me some leggings but he was not able to mail it to me either. Any news when this will be fixed?

2 I dont get why you say no? Anybody has a direct inflence on my health/DS with the change, our DS is our second health bar. I just don’t see what is over powered about access to our utilities they can still intrupt, knock down, fear, and etc.
4 I want an actual number like 10,000 health not 75% as I change builds on a daily basis and would help out tremendously if you know a spike is coming and you have your 2 options of tanking it in DS or dodging.(I just want the information I need to make the determination of what to do because of right now we only can speculate and get close)

I have played Necromancer since Beta and the recent change was good/bad but the main issues that I have is that there was only a bug fix for DS and no compensation for the loss of our only blocking ability. Death Shroud is now a second life bar and since that is the case now these are the changes I want for compensation

List of Changes
1. Healing in Death Shroud
2. Utilities available in DS
3. An actual number of the amount of life force we have left(it can only show up while using it for all I care if its to complex to code)
4. Swaping weapons in DS ( was said it was going to be “fixed” no word from a dev about it since)
5. Signets work while in DS(currently in the Bug Compilation MkII)
6. And last but not least the fix for the locked out of utilities (My #2 change could help with this)

These changes are overly reasonable and would help with our survive ability.
