Guild Wars 2

So I got a high damage build, 30 zeal 20 valor 20 honor. GS and Scepter/Torch. So far I got my defense up to around 2600, still looking for a backpack item to replace the green one I have now. With around 3300 Attack. Not getting real good numbers, like one would expect. Crits on burning foes average around 3k, but those are far and few between. Damage normal is between 1200 and 1800.

I spent some money today and respecced. Now have 30 radiance 20 valor 20 honor and run sword and board with scepter and board alt. 3200ish defense and around 2700 attack. Damage dropped, as expected, to somewhere around half what I did before. Damage incoming is still coming in very high, thief bs and other skills hitting between 2500 and 4k per hit.

Where is the happy medium that needs to be set so I can tromp on these op choo choo players and make them regret jumping on the op train

I have more toughness and health than your guardian, not much more toughness, but I have 3k more health than you on my thief and only 200 less armor. Your gear is kitten, your spec’ing to be a warrior, but your a guardian.

GS is awesome for PvE farming. It can also play a half decent role in group play, but for 1v1 it is kitten, I cannot think of a single time I have lost to a GS guardian. Guardian and Mesmer are my hardest classes ‘in general’ to fight for my spec.

You are doing nothing more than proving the point. You can spec your theif more tanky than a guardian, heavy armor user, and still do 8k to 11k damage. OP? I still don’t believe it though, I want screens. The same armor type as mine in a medium starts off with between 20 and 80 less base defense per piece.

stof, this is in wvwvw. I don’t believe the dude that says he has a thief with more hp and defense. medium armor just don’t have that ability when compared to heavy armor. I had all invaders because of +tough +vit +power but had to drop that for the higher defense gold gear, which is how I know what all +tough bonus gear will put me at. 3 invaders yellow jewelry and 3 green level 80 items. Still looking at what I can throw into there. Even with my attack power what it is, I’m still not hitting for 11 freakin k damage. If I get lucky and crit, while the guy is burning, I might get 3k or so.

stof.9341:

2400 armor only? My glass cannon thief got nearly as much. And you got only like, +140-180 points which makes it likely the thief server got most orb bonuses. Checking, Jade Quarry. Yep, they seem to be mostly hanging on all three orbs.

2497 armor. I can bump it over 2600 with my shield on and setting the bonus trait. As far as I can see though, makes little difference. In PvP, my engineer has about 150 point less armor, still getting hit way too hard. Even if I had all +tough +vit gear with +tough +vit runes and +tough +vit accessories, I only get up around 2700 with a shield on. Damage should still be coming in around 5k to 7k per hit and my damage would suck

finally what my guardian was wearing when she took all that damage

and number 3 here

and number 2 here

Pictures show it all. First 1 is on my engineer. Last 2 are on my guardain

First for those of you that are saying he was out of stealth. No he stealthed and started in on me. Did not lose stealth until after he put the death flag on me. Most likely he used one of the other stealth operatives, i.e. the heal stealth or something like that, to get his stealth rolling.

Let’s count that damage again since you think stating 15+k damage while stealthed was a frivolous statement.

4253 points from cloak and dagger
6753 points from heart seeker
4503 points from heart seeker

I count 15,509 damage from a thief while he was stealthed out

Have to agree here. HoD went from top to non existent because one guild pitched a hissy and left? Don’t think so. They need to fix this free transfers crap to get the bandwagon zerg locked down.

So I got this email from a gold spammer. It has 1 bronze coin attached so I can not delete it. I hesitate to take the money to clear it out because I don’t want them saying that I accepted money from a gold spammer. What can I do about this?

I have had the same issue. I was playing fine for a while, then was disconnected. Had issues logging back in but finally got back in, ran around for about another 45 minutes, then dropped and unable to log back in at this time. Keep getting the unable to connect to services.
