Condi meta/Spell meta=Bad game design

in PvP

Dreddful.4860

When will something be done? I dont want to play ranged, I dont want to cast “spells” but abilities. I want a a basic warrior to be at least viable (it isnt), I want a stealthy rogue to be viable (it isn’t). All these basic archetypes are just thrown out the window and kittenous meta has formed, condi reapers excel at everything, everybody slowing melee, block and weakness which doesnt even reduce condi damage lol since nothing should be able to counter condis completely. DH trappers noobing it up with literal Cruise Control gameplay. Making classes completely useless is such good game design… While we have revenant with insane burst, evade and unkillable mode heal and RANGED melee.

What a mess.

The skill as a player. How many of 1v1s 1v2 you win usually, do you know how and where to rotate,do you defend points? do you help your team to defend when its required? if you have 2 points close mid captured you go far for other point to zerg respawn? help your allies survive as much as possible? do you know who the best to focus target or you focus target the one that is hardest to kill ( like my solo teams doing usually ) than lost the match. do you know when to go for objectives? You should be able to climb ladder in emerald. You cant lose tiers.

Its really common sense at this point though that is required, not too much else at least from my team mates, but yes I help focus my team mates targets and cap/rotate in time. But I can’t be in many places and when mostly my team mates lose the 1v1 (which I literally stomp any 1v1 in my bracket) is jsut really frusrating.

Man, when people dont even understand Mesmer downed skill or anything else conquest related, I get twice the points of my teammates in some games, top defender and capper etc, something is wrong! The mmr is completely busted wide open! I palyed with Saphire and Ruby guys one game, and they were way worse! (guilkdies) How cant I even leave emerald in soloq!!! So frustrating since you cant carry a whole team on your back…

LOL are they stomping the clone?

sigh there are terrible ppl in all divisions it seems. (in T4 Emerald, played against the most glassy thief you ever saw that was in Saph).

Guess they rode the mmr to the upper divisions, MMR will be forever against us this season i’d imagine.

Yup stompign the clone in late emerald tier jsut before sapphire…

Hey Anet, I want to be able to save my build! I have many different builds I want to run in PvP and PvE! Just put it under the Build(s) tab in Hero panel. Ez, you had it in GW 1 also, remember?

Tried out scrapper, certainly not part of the bursty meta, but so many options and counters + great surv. Thx won a few games and got out of the tier!

Honestly at lower tiers, feels that players never play objectives (emerald) so thief with great mobility seems to be efficient at capping but you can never 1v1. Necro is really good 1v2 but doesnt really help bad players get better in a team fight. Any suggestions for how to carry the whole team on the back? (I have recetly played 15 games at 1 tier and cant get out of the tier due to team mates are not up to par, very far behind in points and never play objectives)

DH is OP but so is almost every other elite spec. DH isn’t even the biggest offender in that regard.

Yes some elites are really strong, but still most of them can be countered in some way, dh is just luck of the draw and specific class abilities.

What class/build do you play? Most folks are having more trouble vs a scrapper or a druid than a DH. Have you tried spending some time in a 1v1 arena going at it with a DH friend? It might help a lot if you haven’t.

Literally nothing else in the game, maybe really bursty assassins that are exceptional at their job are the only thing I i might die from sometimes. But nothing 1v1 since I mostly 1v2

But what class/build are you using? There might be class-specific tips people could help you with, but as an above poster said, practice and time will help tremendously.

Theres no point in listing, I have one class of each. I already listed the problems (some of tha tcan never go away due to mechanics i.e. placing a trap on a node) with DH but tbqh cba it just needs a nerf thats it, so silly it hasnt been done yet though.

Well, the only advice I can offer then is to change your stomp animation. Dragonhunters, by virtue of their name, will always have an advantage if you’re using your dragon rank finisher. I swapped mine to the dolyak finisher and have since been having great success.

Rank=/=Skill

Funny joke though. But pls guess my real rank, you have one guess, I’ll tell you if you get it right…

Tbh I target the DH in my pvp matches. You can stomp his blocks and stay off his traps making him an easy kill.

Stomp his blocks stay off his traps……. u wot m8? Gotta stay of tha tpoint in conquest broooooo, no need to cap :^)

Clearly stated. Shutdown his blocks with an unblockable. The trap will not generally cover the entire capture point. Nor can he maintain a trap on point indefinitely if he wants to burst you down (as is your complaint in the title). What are you doing while all this is going on? If you’re doing it right he should be dead by the time he realizes his traps failed.

Aaaaand he will just place new ones once again due to CDs start couunting down after placing a trap. Also unblockable attaks? Do you even meta…

You don’t seem to have been playing the game if you’re not up to date on unblockable. Really it seems this is your first day in pvp and you got roflstomped and are raging.
You haven’t told us what you’re playing, only complained. Sorry to say it but learn to play and quit whining buddy. GLHF

Here you go for refreshment. Sick burn brah. And I told you, I play most classes.

/facepalm

another one…

OK, so here it is:

1, if you see a Guardian on a point you know there are traps!

Stating the obvious, still a inherit problem with the design you cannot admit

2, you can activate them by minions (means dead DH)

And how many classes have that now?

3, you can counterplay it with stability-block-invul-aegis-whatever

Everybody has that right?

4, the DH is a one trick pony… they are either medi trap or full trap (or condi… but God’s help is needed for you to beat a condi guard if you have issues with a standard DH…). Full trap is a piece of kitten absolutely weak and the only purpose is to beat a single idiot. Meditrapper is a bit trickier but they only use 2-3 traps.

Its fine as long as it is one a trick pony since it only needs one trick to kill you? U wot m8

Literally one of the most broken builds in a long time I have seen in any game. Please don’t tell me naab dodge etc it just is a overpowered build, players even admit it that it is OP when i whisper them and ask them, latest just told me to report Anet lol

It is just a bland and boring no skill build which relies on the opponent not playing perfectly a dodging minigame (Unerelenting assault anybody?) which is insaleny overpowered in the choke point pvp mode of Conquest

So when is the nerf?

Now if we could take a look at those condis and other stuff after this…

The panel is hidden until lvl 22, but you can still get there through portals.

Isn’t LA blocked off until 32?

Until 35 according to wiki if you are f2p

It’s a new account and he is level 2 only, but there was never a restriciton on this a few weeks back when my brother started playing, has this been changed recently or what? I didn’t see it in the latest patch at least, maybe under radar?

-Druids, why is the only healing class in the game? Poor decision, nerf healing or nerf damage

I would rather say buff: Support Guardians, Staff Eles, Blood/Death, Ventari Revenant, Shout Warriors and maybe MedKit/Elixir Gun Engis… mostly its all about adding better scalling with Healing Power and adding some more team utility.

-Burnguard: Burst at RANGE, insane burst in melee, what were you guys thinking?

I think Burnguard is “squishy” and pretty bad vs AoE cleanses.

-Tanky Revenant builds, too tanky, way tankier than any other tank, also healing from being dealt damage? gg

Indeed, DPS Revenant seems to be too tanky. I would suggest to move dmg from Sword #3 (UA) to #2. This way #2 would be more useful and #3 still would be good evade/mightstacking ability.

Also Revanant requires buffs for other Legends than Shiro/Glint.

-Dragonhunter, nerf damage and traps

Buff sustained dmg, nerf burst dmg.

Burnguard isn’t bad when run SOLO, unranked is a mess after any decent burnguard that knows how to push 1234.

Also buffing all healing might mae any burst class obsolete so thats another discussion!

Quick fixes for major casual pvp imbalances

in PvP

Posted by: Dreddful.4860

Dreddful.4860

So I won’t claim I’m a god in pvp or anything, but usually finish in the top player spot if I play any of the strong classes or even mediocre since I have a very long pvp background thanks to other games.

But anyway here are my suggestions for a couple of quick fixes for some things I consider big blunders in casual pvp (mind you I play all of these builds/classes):

-Warrior. There is no penalty for many casters staying in melee range. Hundred blades needs to be a mobile skill like the axe whirlwind or i needs significant damage increase (not recommended), we need a big guy wielding a mighty sword to be viable, cmon Anet.

-Necromancer: Greatsword build need to have faster attacks, nothing more. Pretty weak overall but still playable class.

-Thief: Burst on dual pistols needs to be toned down but trade it for cheaper utility. I main thief and I down scrubs in 3 secs. Doesn’t seem too fair.

-BURNguard: Nerf it to the ground, nerf all that fire damage. Srsly this is one the most silly builds I have seen in any game. Requires no skill to play at all.

-Dragon hunter: Yeah, nerf it, it’s just silly AoE damage in Conquest pvp. Nobody else does that much, why does the Paladin class of GW2 need to be superior?

-Ranger: Could use a tone down on condi builds and a slight damage nerf to Longbow power builds

-d/d ele and mesmer. Tone down utility or or tone down damage (dmg recommended)

So what do you guys think needs a nerf or buff?

Revenant is uninspiring, what do you think?

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Dreddful.4860

Dreddful.4860

My problem is with the NAME.

A revenant is an undead focused on a single goal (nigh always justice/revenge against a single individual or group) and it fades away into dust upon completion of it’s objective. None of the skills have a death theme, justice theme, or revenge theme. What we have is mostly a melee shaman of the mists.

I also have a problem with having my utilities locked…they could have at least given each legend extra utilities so you could choose and shape the character/build better.

I also severely wish Herald wasn’t an elite spec so I could enjoy it…as a casual player it’ll take me a looooong time to unlock it.

Thats an exhaustive analysis, I like it. I also agree that there should ahve been more customization. Thats the one hting I miss the most from my GW1 days that you have no real impact on builds etc

Revenant is uninspiring, what do you think?

Just think it’s very boring, there seemed to be in the dev team that switching stance was a “cool” idea but the implementation is lacking. When WoW got the deathknight, it was op as hell but it was very different from other classes. Revenant is too but theres no cool factor. Just feels vey non-heavy class but no “cool” spells either.

So what do you guys think about the revenant? Any other class ideas you wish they would have went with?
