Guild Wars 2

Hey guys!

So i’m wondering which stat does better at PvP, PvE and WvW.
If possible feel free to give me builds!

Thanks

Hello there everyone!

So I’ve been playing my mesmer quite a lot and am enjoying it quite a bit, I’ve mostly been playing PvP and was just wondering what is the most effective weap set for PvP as well as PvE.

Currently I’m using GS Sw/P so power build and it’s quite good, is there anything stronger than that?

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys! I know this might be a silly question but I’m just wondering which class does:

-The highest burst damage.
-Sustained damage
-Damage over time
And lastly although not linked to damage, Survivability.

I’ll be pvping often so please take it into consideration.

Thank you all for the input

Hey guys!

I’m planning to make a Mes and was wondering what stat is best to maximize? also what weapons are good? I’ll most likely pvp with this guy and was planning to use GS/ Sw/P..Although I am open minded to anything. Give me a run down of what I need to know about Mesmers

I currently have no knowledge of Mesmers currently so please help a brother out

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback guys!. I didnt put down the other classes coz they don’t interest me much, I mean I have a ele and that’s fun but I just feel like making another one for pvp and wvw use, I don’t wanna roll warrior coz I found them really boring and found that it doesn’t really require much skill to play. I’m kinda just stuck between the thief mesmer and necro coz they seem fun. Also I’m wondering coz I’ve read a lot of posts about the changes and nerfs and wondered which is still rather strong even after all the changes

Hey guys so I’m planning to make a character, and was wondering what currently is the most fun gameplay wise and is good pvpwise currently with the current patch?.
I’m thinking Thief Mesmer or Necro!
Please let me know what you guys think. Appreciate it

I’ve not seen that yet, but haven’t been playing my thief in awhile.

Lag maybe? Wonder if it’s related the rubberband effect from shadowsteps.

No I tried it even when my connection was stable but still does it, but it really is like the rubber band effect but it just happens everytime you use the skill. Give it a go and see if it happens to you too

P.S I tried to upload a video of it but it wouldnt allow me to :/

I’m not sure if it’s normal for it to dodge backwards then somehow going back to where it dodges from, anyone notice it?

nacario.9417:

Dagger does most single target (D/D gives you easier stealth, though D/P gives nice blind aoe), your second weaponset should be shortbow with sigil of fire and bloodlust.

Oh right, which is better tho D/D or D/P? also what happened to S/D? Thanks for the quick response

Hey guys! I was just wondering which weapon set does the most damage to a Single target and Group. Thanks

Zoso.8279:

These are two classes that I just recently created and for me it depends on how you want to play. My thief is pure DPS and stealth so he can change a fight real fast by doing MASSIVE DPS but if your not quick on your feet 3 hits from almost any other class and your down quick! Zoso Watch Out which is my thief character name uses dual wield pistol and daggers with many stealth skills and life regeneration while ins stealth so that is the survivability part of that build. Mesmer I am still working on it so far I have him use clones with high health and decent DPS he can tank a bit better then my thief but its a test build so ill have to come back to you on that one.

Which do you find more enjoyable late game? and also which is more dominant at dealing quick bursts then getting out? My preferred gamestyle is going in then hop out if I cant kill the foe then back in lol

So i’m planning to start a new character and will focus more on pvp with it, I’m currently thinking between the Thief and Mesmer. What do you guys think is better and funner in pvp? Feel free to suggest as well!

Thanks

Which of the professions do you guys find the most enjoyable?
List it down in order from funnest to..not as fun.

AyuReady.3952:

Well I wouldn’t bother making a thief at all with the way anet has been treating us thief players. But if you want to torture yourself like the rest of us, CONDI is probably the way to go seeing as anything zerker has been, will be, nerfed into oblivion.

Yeah i’m not sure why the other professions got a paragraph full of changes and thief get like…one strip of toiler paper lol. So im guessing Pistol/Dagger for my weap set and D/D or Short bow?. Wouldn’t have mind but the leveling system is so crap, Can’t even choose when i want to do story missions lol.

Hey guys i’m currently still leveling my thief and was wondering which stats I should focus on gear wise leveling and end game. Also feel free to drop some builds if possible

Thanks

My apologies. There are so many comments lately from ‘older players’ aka ‘vets’, I thought you were one (a ‘vet’).

The solution to your ‘pain in the butt’ is to travel to your Borderland (BL) and use the Trading Post (TP) there, at no cost, and with the ability to be returned to the exact spot you left.

Sorry, again, for not assuming you were a new player.

No worries I understand why you thought that anyway especially with the recent changes.

But really thanks! You already solved my problem lol Thank you for your input really appreciate it!.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Considering you can, and always could, enter your BL map, use the TP and end up right back where you were, I’m not sure how your concern has anything to do with inconveniencing ‘vets’.

Good luck.

Vets? Inconveniencing?. What are you on? Im talking about the patch removing trading posts, I don’t even know wtf you are on with ‘BL’ and ‘TP’. I have been playing just probs for a month and I don’t know some of the crap you are implying, I meant older as in players that started playing before the patch who are still learning the game. Thanks for the info tho Cpt Serious lol

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

No need to spend Gold. Use the Mists, it’s completely free.

Yeah true that thanks for the suggestion. Just feels like Anet is trying to revamp the game just to get new players and forgetting the old player. But nothing we can do :/

Soo what was the point of removing trading posts in a lot of areas?. Such a pain in the butt to travel further and spend more coin for the waypoint just to get to the main cities. So what was the logic in that?

So I’ve been reading the forums quite a lot lately just to keep up with any changes or fixes and when I checked the main site itself it seems like they’d rather promote the game more than actually fix the game. I swear they’re making the same Diablo 3 did with all the buffs and nerfs did at the start.. GG to consistency.

Has anyone actually read, heard, seen any word from devs? or are they just going to let it slide for awhile?

KeyLimPi.9031:

People are just overreacting. D/D is viable, D/P is viable, S/D is viable but tougher due to the followup, and /P is still fun for wrecking mesmers. Give people a few days to calm down, the ones RQ’ing are the same people saying Ranger is OP.

Yeah I dont exactly know how much the thief changed but ive read a lot of people saying that P/D is the only good weap set left. Although ill probably still go D/D or D/P, which weap set is best for pvp? coz i plan to do it a lot when I one day hit 80 lol

Hey guys I just got my ele to 80 and was wondering what viable builds are available now post patch, from what i’ve read condi/pistol is the only “good” build left due to the nerfs on the other weap sets. Feel free to recommend and if possible elaborate. I like daggers coz of the fast attacks so is it useless atm?

What do you guys think?

sinject.4607:

thief has always been one of the strongest professions across the board (PvE, sPvP, WvW) and will most likely continue to be. thief is high-risk high-reward so that means that it’s a very skill reliant profession so while thief can be devastating like no other profession in the hands of someone that knows what their doing, it can also be very unforgiving to those who play it incompetently. the learning curve tends be noticeably steeper than most professions (especially warrior) but again, thief rewards player ability extremely well and that’s what makes it by far the most fun profession for me to play.

warrior is a much easier and forgiving profession by design but imo this lends the profession to a lower skill ceiling that makes it a less enjoyable profession to play in my eyes.

the september feature pack’s balancing changes will barely affect thief at all. the changes/nerfs are all minor and mostly fair. the only change i’m actually against is the buff to venomshare in WvW because of how stupidly strong p/d condi already is in WvW, however it might make thief more viable as support in sPvP so i’m open to it there.

warriors on the other hand got some fairly nasty nerfs all over this upcoming patch, so if anything you should be questioning warrior viability post-patch (spoiler: it wont).

Oh nice atm i have a lv 73 Ele and I really enjoy being in the front row of combat which is why i went D/D ele but i have a feeling i’d have to respec to a staff or something so I decided to make my thief, Is P/D really the most viable build? coz i really enjoy D/D or D/P coz of the quick attacks.

Oh and skill wise I really dont mind coz i do enjoy a challenge. So which is more rewarding late game D/D ele or D/D thief?

Thank you for the answer btw

Hey everyone! Sorry for the noob question but I’m fairly new to this game and i’m wondering how viable are thieves now and how they will be post September patch, I’ve read a lot of forums although some outdated saying that thieves are not very good and that warriors are better or stuff like why roll a thief when warriors are more useful and do more damage etc. I myself play enjoy being an assassin in most of the games I play but i’m really curious of what will happen to thieves and if they excel late game, or just get shrek’d. If possible please let me know what you guys think!

Thanks
