If I were to go to EoTm, id prob do something fun like ask for all the uplevels on me and have the full 80 group go with another tag, have our uplevel group go into the enemy zerg and let the 80 group flank the enemy backline while we’re downed or dead…perfect bait. Idk if this idea would be brilliant or evil as I never go to EoTm these days.
its evil to leave theyr really bot die fast and wipe them from back
i’m sorry for lootbag to much
never mind
with engy i dont get stability in the first time XD
with necro i play MM and no stability to
with mesmer if u dont use mantra u dont got stability
with thief u can say: “stability its just an wirling elite skill”
with ranger kill or be killed
only 3 class use stability: war, guardian and ele
this is not a big nerf but a balance
That warrior build is just another build with some changes. And you’re missing 2 trait points. If you create a build yourself it is 100% likely it will just be a variation of an older build.
yea but who cares? the point is these builds are not considered meta and I’m saying it’s only because none of the small group of elite players play it, and it’s NOT because it isn’t viable.
it’s not PvE
this is PvP where u can use build who ppl dont use in PvE (bunker, heal support, conditions)
PvE meta is zerk build based for high phisical dps and that is the current meta
on PvP u can use all build (guardian spirits weapon, engy turrets, war condition, ele signet, ecc) and it is just ppl who know how to play that build who make difference
in short meta on PvP there wasn’t any specific
if u see high ranked ppl with a build, we can say that: “they practice that build with team and know what to do to maximize it”
In case anyone is wondering…for the upcoming 30 days:
Daily Necromancer: 4 —-—→ times MM
Daily Mesmer: 4 —-—> times PU
Daily Ranger: 5 —-—→ Power ranger
Daily Warrior: 7 —-——> Shout bow
Daily Elementalist: 9 —-——> Staff bunker
Daily Engineer: 10 —-———> Decapper
Daily Thief: 10 —-——→stealth for fun
Daily Guardian: 11 —-—→ Spirit weapons for fun
21 daily wins for fun
23 daily wins with main
16 daily with class i know how to play with only 1 build XD
more or less 60% of the time i dont have to much problems on win
Uhm, following scenario: You fight 1vs1 to cap a point. Your opponent is nearly dead, but manages to start running away (GS-Warrior, Ele with Mistform or whatever)… you can try to chase and kill, or actually cap the point. What will you chose to do?
cap the point if u cant follow GS war, ele, thief or whatever run faster than u
4) Get off point before you are dead. It’s not necessary and just downright foolish to tank on point until you are dead. Kite if you can. Especially if you have team mates with you who can run on point.
Addendum: if you won’t be able to get away from the fight, hold the point as long as possible and DIE ON POINT so your opponents have to stomp you and can’t let you bleed out.
and dont fight out of a point every time it’s not courtyeard
I won a 4 v 5 before too :P
But to all seriousness, if your team lose when you’re 5 v 4 someone, you should be ashamed. Not just your team is incompetent, you are too. Even if your team is losing everywhere, you could easily manipulate the outcome through rotation and bunking if your opponent miss one person.
he say his team was doing 3vs1 at treb and lose to an engy turrets
than on other poits the enemy team was doing 3vs2 on cap point
if ppl dont know what to do and how to play its a l2p issue that broken MMR on unranked and ranked arenabecause of daily character win
autobalance is a broken system to on pratice
yesterday i was swap on the losing team in every match and pvp at respawn vs 4 ppl every time, sure i got the win reward point at the end but not fun
even with hotjoins… you can EASILY tell which profession is the daily.
Ranger? Get ready for bearbows everywhere
Engi? Hellloooo turrets.
Its not unbearable but it kills the spirit of pvp in my opinion.
with ranger i dont play with bear
with engy i dont play with full turrets (only tumper and HT)
with guardian i play spirits weapon (for my fun high risk high reward)
with my main class i play ranked arena, without i play hotjoin
if i have 2-3 minute Q-times most of the time the player i get matched with are ok, but 7-8 minute Q-time and i know before the match start …well its kitten. i feel your pain GoogleBrandon ^^
this MMR was made for reducing the queue time, but now 3 mins of queue is to long
i remember time when i soloq or teamq and after 30 sec i join in soloq and 20 sec to form a team and after that 20sec max to join in teamq
Stability was not and never was out of jail for free.
-> Boon strip = no more stab.
->Immob -> counter stability.
-> Slow/chill -> pass throught stability.
And for a group to have permanent stability. You did need to grab more than 1 guard per party (that is without counting boon strip or other random factor : out of range to receive buff because the guard in your party or you got picked off/your guard died).
with revenant we got stability spammer and anti condition spammer
no GWEN team but GWER team
lol
well if we got revenant who can spam condition
we need an improvement to other class who dont got an high condition clean
(mesmer, engy, thief, ranger) without trait
Just to point out – there is no report option for hacking, and I think there should be.
I encountered a few players on SoS in early morning NA using teleport hacks. It was the first time I was 100% sure I witnessed someone hacking. I reported them for botting, and whispered another SoS player to keep an eye on them, and report them as well.
yesterday i do the same on a thief, he was using speed hack for run away on combat and taking zero dmg from me
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fFAQFAWhMMacW4wyBd0AhAB5tmrRBlrLXB-TJxHwACuAA+2fAwDAoYZAA
bunker staff is the most anti condition build
either renewal remove 8 conditions every 15 sec
cleansing fire remove 3 conditions every 40 sec (traited 32sec + 1 cond on regend)
cantrip remove condition if traited (1 condition on regen)
water staff #5 remove a condition (f traited for regen remove an additional condition)
on water attunement if traited for regen remove a condition
on dodge on water attunement if traited cast “cleansing wave” and remove a condition
o:O if u want a clean call a ele staf traited XD
over 40 sec this ele can remove from himself more or less 15 conditions
Before the patch:
d/d cele ele
rifle nade cele engi
shoutbow cele warrior
After the patch:
d/d cele ele
rifle nade cele engi
shoutbow cele warrior
Yes, balance at it’s finest. lol @ the balance team and anyone on the forums who thought might stacking was the issue. Hint: it is the cele amulet.
Also, if you see fewer d/d cele eles, it is because of a few of them are trying staff cele ele. Notice the cele part.
I don’t think it’s the amulet, eng’s are just like 5 classes combined into 1. Has there ever been a meta where ENG’s weren’t the best class in the entire game?
This doesn’t explain cele ele or cele shoutbow.
Also, saying engi’s have always been OP is not correct. Certain specs in all classes are OP at times. It is just that engi has 2 really great PvP specs right now: cele rifle nade spammer, and turret engi (for pug matches)
if we want see a gw prospective
GW1 team meta were:
- spike team (full dmg)
- bunker team (full defensive)
- balanced (50% dmg and 50% defensive)
on gw2 we can see
- dps build (full dmg cond or zerg)
- bunker build (defensive)
- cele build (50% dmg and 50% defensive)
now whats wrong on take cele build in gw2??? for my point it’s nothing wrong
is a balanced build and depend on player if can run this
Are you really gonna make a whine thread like this whenever you have a bad experience in PvP? This is the third one on the first page of the PvP forum alone.
The meta has been the same for years! Half your team builds to stand on point! The other half builds to explode people! The only thing that has changed is what classes can do what!
what i want to say is
u made a 1 vs 1 with a guardian spirit weapon
in that duel u be hit over 54 time and u die
more or less that duel duration is 1m and 30 sec
54+ are the hit the guardian + weapon made when the duel start to ur down
is a cumulative dmg
in short the guardian made 830 burn dmg per hit per second + phisical dmg
832 burn dmg per stack (25 might stack), u be hit 54 times (2 or more player who share virtue of justice active effect)
in short it is a cumulative dmg made from 3+ enemy, it isn’t only the dmg from the guardian’s weapons
l2p and not call every time nerf here nerf there
this is a spirt weapon who i run for fun http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fVAQJARWl0ApKoFBxOI8DRh8gkVdLLdp6JBecVOA-TJhAABQ/IAIa/BAuCAiVGAA
Ya there is several ways to get around 72%, its doesn’t matter really. Keep in mind that if you can keep your life at 90% for around 60% of the time, then Scholar will always give more dps than Ranger. If you can’t keep it for 60% of the time, then Ranger will be better.
food for stack condition duration u dont need it in dungeon just keep spamming vuln with every explosion (dotate turret, all granades, all bombs, EG #3 and some vuln applied by ur team) with right skill rotation
Detonating your healing turret is a burst of heal, but not the best idea since you gonna lose maximum healing over time. You should pick it up after overcharge. Without food the vulnerability will jump between 12 and 23, dropping to 8 when your rotation is interrupted (like when you dodge). Of course if you have a lot of Warrior, Elementalist and Guardian that give vulnerability you won’t need condition duration food. I always have 2 type of good depending on my party. But I often need the condition duration food. Not because my party can’t go to 25 stacks of vulnerability, but because it can’t keep it up all the time.
with “Bunker Down” (firearms XIII) ucan place a mine every 2 seconds (another explosion) and keep vuln up without much problem (with fury and bunner u got 100% crit chance)
dude, if u want do only daily reward in pvp, just go on hotjoin or in pratice, it is easy in this way
if u run unranked or ranked with a low rank (1-30) and paired with high rank (60-80), ppl will be mad to the MMR system for bad match making , it is just for that
80% crit chance is way too high unless you are soloing. The sweet spot is 72% in dungeon so that fury + banner of discpline will give you 100%. Replace Ranger for Scholar will give you more dps AND will make sure you don’t go over the 100% crit chance limit. If you want you can use maintenance oil, but that will be useless if there is a ranger in your party with spotter and slaying potion will be better overall.
For food Curry Buttersquash soup isn’t the best choice for engineer. A food with power+condition duration will be better, but they cost as expensive as Buttersquash. There is also condi+condition duration that are good ans far less expensive. These food will allow you to keep vulnerability up for a longer duration.
well take out food and oil and u got 70% crit chance, just take any food with precision is good
for scholar, sure give more dps but u need to stay up 90% life for get the +10% dmg , more time vs boss u go under the 90% and lose that bonus
food for stack condition duration u dont need it in dungeon just keep spamming vuln with every explosion (dotate turret, all granades, all bombs, EG #3 and some vuln applied by ur team) with right skill rotation
and this build is for ppl who dont know that engy is a dps and not only cond spammer in pvp or wvw
omg dude
l2p how to kill fast that engy with turret
he dont got condition clean (just healing turret and some traits with melandru rune), focus on him with condition and bring stability on u (if u run thief sword or stealth work to)
turret engy dont got stability or stun break, interrupt him when try to heal (ht got 20 sec on CD)
sure some build cant do anything on turret engy, but is easy to counter
so im poor and trying to build a better WvW build that still allows me to have burst but a bit more survivalability. i mostly solo but i like having a build that works both with me solo roaming and also jumping into zergs to take a keep/tower/etc.
thoughts?
Classes:
2- Buff the ele minor traits in other lines than water for more dps, armor and vitality, nerf cleansing water with a cooldown to compensate. Give the ele a good elite worth using. Increase staff animation speed for gust and many other slow skills.
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Cleansing_Water
u never played ele
cleansing water work only if u apply regen to u or u ally ( more or less every time u attuned to water and cast some water skill) by using water skill or when u using utility skill traited for give u regen (cantrip) and cleansing water is a grand master trait and u need to spend 6 point on water, and gust got 1/4 sec on cast time (isnt fast enought?)
GS ele elitè skill isnt good? (the powerfull elite skill for dmg and mobility)
glyph of elemental u can choose what u need (water for support, fire for dmg, wind for daze ur enemy)
other guys wrote L2P, yes in my opinion is the same
L2P first and after write for change
I wouldn’t think meta-builds are something you should expect in unranked. It’s more casual, so I would assume more people are willing to play whatever they want and experiment, instead of going with what is most optimal.
if they want to play whatever build, there is Hotjoin or Pratice to play it
unrunked and ranked arena are place wher ppl know what to do and what build/class they need/want to play and not random build with random class just for daily reward
this broke the matchmaking system and ppl who want to take some rank up play with ppl who dont know what to do
It’s take an objective deep in the enemy zone, and use it as a offensive structure against enemy players and enemy structures.
If you are out patrolling the the BLs, you will find the fight, instead of waiting for white swords to appear to have a fight handed to you.
The mindset of zerg infested servers have polluted tactical combat in guild wars. Sneak attack is fantastic in promoting healthy fights.
work on low populated server, but for blob server, they never mind if there are sword or not, they just blob what they want, it is not a solution for balancing server population but only fight mechanics (scouting, more superior siege and organized small groups)
Well the thing is, you stay in your Tier, this happens. You move down a Tier, your now the dominant server.
Ehmry Bay moves up a Tier and someone from Tier 5 moves down, it’ll be even worse. Someone from Tier 7 moves up while ehmry bay moves down; nothing changes in Tier 6, but Tier 7 gets destroyed.
So what exactly do you want? The only ideal situation is to fuse all the servers together into 3 separate factions where the population will be the same throughout all factions…
Are you up for something like that or are you one of the players that holds too much “server pride”?
The problem isn’t tier anything….When I took this I was the only one on the map for our side. Our heavy population time is 30 people (all maps). The problem is that once you go out and get rolled by 5 times your numbers you go do something else.
How is this fixed?
// Function to determine if player can log in or not to WvW.
bool CanILogIntoWvW(int mySideMapCount, int opponent1MapCount, int opponent2MapCount)
{
if (mySideMapCount < MIN_PLAYERS)
{
return TRUE;
}
else if ( (mySideMapCount < (opponent1MapCount + NUM_ALLOWED_MORE) ) &&
(mySideMapCount < (opponent2MapCount + NUM_ALLOWED_MORE) ) )
{
return TRUE;
}
return FALSE;
} // —-— End of CanILogIntoWvW —-—
The above allows you to log in if there are less than some minimum number of players allowed. If you have more than this minimum then you compare the other two opponents numbers and only allow logins if you have less than both opponents plus a allowable few more.
The call of this function brackets whatever login code they have now.
Its a simple solution that should have been done a long time ago.
To even suggest using that trait in a build shows just how much you know about necro’s in this game. First, going 6 in to death magic which is toughness/boon duration traitline for a inside DS health regen trait is odd to begin with. Second, the scaling of the regen even with a ton of healing power is subpar at best and the actual heal is laughable small to even be useful. Third, with 6 points invested in death magic you kitten your self from taking more valuable traits from other traitlines that would give you more benefit for your investment.
These are just some of the top reasons unholy sanctuary fails at its job and I’m sure other necro’s could give you even more reasons why traits like this one and others just plainly suck kitten out of a tube.
sure i dont play necro (only MM necro on pvp daily) but for FUN i try to diversificate my play and create test build
this is 1 of my test build http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fRAQNBmQDbkjmWbLux2GOcT8MUSHBBQzOVIQ9PME7AA-TJxHwACuIAn2fYZZAAPBAA
high survivability low damage, but u know that, if u get high dmg and high survivability at the same time, u will be to OP and balance is broken again
for what u write u play only some know necro build and never try to create ur own build
Take an unskilled zerg and a smaller skilled group.
The zerg it taking a tower and the smaller group comes to defend.
The zerg slowly whittles down the smaller group, which is able to hang on whilst it’s dead players run back again.
Eventually, after several wipes, the smaller group manages to defeat and push back the zerg.
With PPK the zerg is still rewarded more points than the smaller group as the smaller group suffered more deaths than the zerg. So even though a smaller group was able to defeat the zerg, the smaller group is not rewarded for their skill.
But as usual the real problem is that WvW is just not balanced! And Anet not spending resources on improving it is not helping; making silly little changes like PPK and removal on white swords will not fix anything.
That’s a bit backwards from my personal experience. My small group can easily kill way more numbers, especially when we have walls and siege on our side. The zerg will usually eventually get the cap by power ressing the dead and pvding the door down but we get a crap load of kills in the process, way more than what the zerg gets.
If it’s an enemy tower or keep and there isn’t a chance to hold it for the tick, we won’t even stick around to fight in lords. We hop out and pick off a couple of the stragglers and then run off.
sure if u got siege placed (superior) and refreshed, 5+ ppl can wipe a zerg , but if u start with 0 siege and low supply, u cant defend tower or keep for long
atm zerg > skill
and ppk add more ppl on blob server (we can see it on the next wvw season)
Arenanet isn’t Blizzard entertainment. That is why F2P is in need.
Anet F2P plzzzzzzzzzzz for sake of esporttttttttttttttttttttttttt
No No No No No No No No No……
F2p Community’s in most F2p games are plain horrible…Imagine pvp being overrun by F2p players who do not care about this game At All..The amount of trolling would be insane because simply..They dont care about the game,its f2p,they dont care about its community,they dont care if they get banned either.If you think the attitude in Sq is bad now…you will cry when F2p people come rolling in.
F2P = free to play
GW2 is a free to play game (no subscription on that) if u want to play tihis game, u need to pay only 1 time and not on the others “Free to play” games where u shop for win
The unwritten law of roaming is to leave the uplevels alone. If you see a green arrow leave it be unless they force your hand. This video is what happens when you break that law. You have been warned.
I don’t play necromancer, but I’d say necromancer is much higher risk in team settings than engineer is to play. You actually have to know how to position properly and spike people rather than running around spamming ur incendiary powder on people and then going through ur shield block/elixir s/stealth/uninterruptable heal rotation whenever you get focused.
In fact, if you think that Engineer is harder to be effective on than Necromancer, I can only really laugh.
And that’s why there is one active necromancer in top tier while there are probably about 10+ engineers.
what!!!!
necro has high risck than engy?
necro got double life with F1, if an engy decapper or turrets go off his skill rotation is dead
healing turret is a short CD but got small heal x2 and blast water got small heal to for full heal an engy on blust, he need to blust 2 or 3 times the water field (how many skil he need to waste on blast) for heal himself
not to mention other OP class or build (evasive thief, bunker guard, hambow war, ecc)
how about change morta to a bazooka????
same skill same CD (or change CD to 180 sec)
same duration (30 sec)
we can move with it and can take some use in pvp, pve and wvw
we got charzooka (racial skill) and do the same (some change on skill) as mortar but we can move with it
it cam be implemented in the next balance
well it’s just an idea
is dead when u face the same server 4 times in a month
and merging server isn’t the solution, because ppl transfert on the blob server every time, leaveing low tier server more low populated
