CooloutAC.3451:

Chaba.5410:

So what you’re saying, CooloutAC, is that I should double-cap points with a teammate to increase my personal score instead of moving off to +1 the fight at mid?

That is totally up to you. I can’t tell you what to do. Depends on the enemy team. I usually don’t double cap myself. Most good players don’t but it all depends. ANd yet they will still consistently score higher. Because there are many opportunities to cap and because of many other things that give personal points.

As I keep saying, the top scorer on a basketball team match, is also not necessarily the mvp or on the winning team. There are other stats like assists, blocks, steals, etc…. refer to the top player purple orb stats at the end of a gw2 match.

LMFAO

Screenshotted, that’s Darwin award material. Correct me if I’m wrong but it seems your under the impression that top stat awards at the end of the match have some correlation with person score?

How about the fact that people are dying to condi burst in 3-4 seconds, what could you possibly need duration for O.o

Magicus.4302:

I’m referring to this: https://twitter.com/GuildWars2/status/614560129573351424

Please remember that a very large portion of your player base doesn’t agree with the court’s decision today.

Considering the demographic of MMO players, i would think it’s a substantially tiny portion of the playerbase, also, who gives a kitten?

I for one think glacial heart should be removed, because of the lack of a tl;dr

AGGabriel.9230:

From the final devs stream possible future traits they are forcing the guardian to go mace/ focus ( mace one of the guardian most USELESS weapon in pvp/wvw from my experience ) considering that all rest of the professions will go long mid range only guardian will go close and buffing the ele burning capabilities way over the guardian and the way OP thief 8 SEC STEAL DAZE !!! from the guardian, is there a possible GOOD future for the guardian. PS not taking in consideration a future guardian Longbow that will possible make a difference between guardian and other profession in case of range gap and DPS

They have to go mace if they are going honor, which most likely means they are going shouts, which means you could just take the rez oriented trait since if your shouts your probably playing with a group in WvW.

Also, they said they are rebalancing the thief steals around the fact that they can be potentially used twice. The sky isnt falling, we got nice buffs over all, stop crying.

Domzz.1260:

Hammer will be stronger than ever? Removing 1k damage and CHILL from the hammer burst to replace it with… some weak low duration slow?

This change IMO is a huge nerf to hammer guardians. They asked the community for feedback as to whether or not they should remove Glacial Heart. We need to give them the feedback to keep it — otherwise hammer guardian damage output / burst will be merced

Your problem is most people dont care about Glacial heart, myself included.

You wasted no time coming to kitten about things no one, even the devs, are certain are going through. It was probably hard to type that dodging all the pieces of falling sky.

Lets be honest here, what kiddies are mad about is that their zerg balls wont be as effective and they’ll get farmed by roamers and havoc groups more often, as a roamer I’m looking forward to this map immensely.

x Charlie.4820:

I disagree, It has levels. That doesn’t automatically make it bad. You should be punished for standing on the edge of a cliff with no stability.

It’s not like EOTM or Skyhammer as it’s only parts of the map that you can die from. Your also not ported back to spawn and can be ressed and it brings falling damage traits into use, as they’re more useful now.

Automated turrets that shoot you. Engi has these already, To be honest the keeps are super easy to take. It’s always the same routine of walk to gate build rams and stack. The turrets will help bring a stop to that and make shrines have a use, I’m all for it.

“Big boom cannon” they already stated havoc groups are really good for this, I’m not sure how you think superior numbers are going to win. Even if they did, it’s not like they don’t already. I don’t think we can judge this till we see it in action.

Regarding keep lords being “Fun to fight” currently you can just kitten it with autoattacks and ignore defenders if they’re significantly less. Now you are required to pay attention and get punished for not. The lich keep lord mechanics sounded really cool, If you don’t pay attention you’ll wipe the rest of your team. It forces people to try to get organised.

It also helps the defenders if they play correctly, The wind prison ability is the perfect time to nuke several people stuck within it. They can’t get ressed from downed.

You say WvW players love to fight npcs, Obviously sarcastically. The truth is though the ones who don’t, won’t fight them now but might fight them after. The ones who do will fight them now and after. It doesn’t actually change anything, you fight them now.

The only difference will be that the new lords will create more diverse lord room fights than before. That’s a good thing. The keep lord that stealths could be a real problem for your average zerg who just spam autoattacks on the lord and ignore defenders. However an organised group will focus defenders first or slot anti stealth skills.

I think it’s a big step in the right direction. They’re making objectives actually worth taking, Rather than just for points.

You’ll always have EB if you actually think it’ll be too unplayable for you lol.

And you have already EOTM for fancy mechanics. We DONT need it in version 2.0.

Listen, we get it, its gonna be harder for you to run around in a giant zerg ball but I assure you, there will still be big zerg balls for you to pew pew your longbow in.

Bubi.5237:

After watching “the video” (the presentation they streamed), for me it seems like an eotm +skyhammer+pve combo.

Ledges to knock enemies off. (Dont stand by ledges)
Automated Turrets which shoots you. (As opposed to some kid sitting on a cannon for 6 hours?)
Big Boom Cannon which destroys every enemy outer gate (basically opening every tower), so you can capture everything faster when you have superior numbers (timezones for da win!). (They said havoc squads can ninja this, and that its purpose is for comebacks.)
Keep Lord, which are.. “fun to fight”. (Problem?)
’Cos wvw players love to fight npcs, yup.

The map is nice, it’s beautiful, but.. I fear the mechanics will make it close to unplayable for me

It’s about time they added something like this to this welfare game. To the kids crying, tough, if you want to get exceptional things easily (legendaries) learn to be exceptional (winning tournaments).

Failed to a Kill Shot. So pro….

I feel like you are very biased about warriors. Hey, I play one too, it was my first toon, but don’t act like kill shot is impossible to hit. When I played greatsword/rifle for fun, it really was not hard to land kill shots if you weren’t being focused. However, mine never hit that hard. This is way out of line.

It’s not out of line. It takes a lot of specialized building to reach those numbers – the warrior sacrifices a lot to get there. The skill has an incredible telegraph, and the warrior is a sitting duck while channelling it. I don’t like the skill either, because every warrior I’ve seen building for it is terrible and easily slaughtered.

I’ve actually been hit by it also, but I just laughed at myself for not seeing it, because it is really telegraphed, what with the long wind up, the going down on one knee, the neon sign over the warriors head, etc. Coming here to QQ about it is kinda over the top.

I’m not at all biased about warriors. I just hate all of the troll posts from people who cry nerf to things that are easily avoided just because they don’t understand how to fight the profession. I main a warrior, but I also have all of the other professions but necro and ele (couldn’t talk my self into buying more character slots since having lots of alts is punishing in this game). I kill warriors easily on thief, mesmer, and engineer. Really easily. Super easily. Ranger not so much, but that’s because I suck really bad on my ranger.

Mabye this is because I was playing an ele, and I have to work my rear end off just to survive(being this was a group fight). He saw that my endurance was gone, and I didn’t have my air 4(reflect projectiles) available. I’m not really complaining about the warrior necessarily, but the fact that this can happen.

Wait what? Your mad a character geared and built for full out damage was able to one shot another squishy player after having seen him use his reflects and evades? Its called counter play.

Really? So why can’t I one shot him in the same circumstance?

pop air 4 for your reflect, especially if he frenzied the cast, in that case GRATS ON THE ELE 1 SHOT.

The thief can hit your sides for the backstab as well, so 3/4 of your character is a successful backstab opportunity, at that rate he’d have to be legally blind to miss the hits reliably.

The length of this rage-imbued rant suggests that their comments bother you, perhaps some part of you agrees with them OP?

Yep, they are less worthy of my respect. Which does not mean that they are not respectful.

It does mean that those objecting to the tone of the thread really were reading it pretty much spot on.

I don’t want to argue with you. If you enjoy playing PU, good for you. I’m not saying that those who use PU are scum or anything.

I made this thread after a beautiful 2v2 against 2 shatter mesmers. It was so fun that I had to say something about it, as the days in which I actually enjoyed fighting a mesmer are long since gone.

^ This is the biggest thing for me, win, lose, doesn’t matter, I haven’t actually enjoyed a fight against a mesmer in a long time.

hes not saying that PU is less deserving of respect, he’s saying people that still play said specs he mentioned in the post are worthy of special attention.

Clearly your intent on making sure PU is well regarded in everyone elses eyes or you wouldnt be here defending it, my advice would be to play what makes you happy and forget everyone else, the odds are pretty good your not going to change anyone elses opinion, just like this certainly hasn’t changed yours.

Here’s a solution with even more brevity and ease.

Go do something else (I do hotjoins, for example.) But you could probably squeeze a dungeon run in, or level an alt, or do some pvp in wvw. The instant gratification in this player base is startling.

Misty Red Rose.9320:

Guild Wars has a huge casual player base, and it’s been advertised as such. In fact, when we receive emails from Anet about the great new content, there’s nothing in that email that says, “Only for hard-core players” or “only for those can do advanced tactics with strongly a coordinated group on a voice server”, or do not bother to show up, unless you know exactly what you’re doing, because you’ll be taking up a space for a more experienced player and the whole event will likely fail because of you". Yet, this is seems to be the expectations that some here.

One of the appeals of GW 1 & 2 that many of us have enjoyed is the effort by Anet to make this MMO a friendly based community. In most respects Anet has been successful. However, if you read some of the posts on this new update, you can see players raging at ‘pugs’ (since when are you a pug at a open world event?), ‘stupid people who don’t know what they’re doing’ and other insults and slander towards players who just saw there was some new content and thought they would join in on the fun. Spending a lot of time studying what to do before hand should not be a requirement.

Lots of us are trying to express that this is not good or fun game play. Maybe the mechanics are not good and need to be redesigned for the next update?

The marionette is a matter of time before players are capable of winning that the majority of the time. Content where you win every time is bad content, the worm can be completely skipped, you miss nothing, zero, zilch, dont do eeeet. Do I think that they did everything right with the fight? no, should they exclude challenging content? no.

GW1 had elite, diffcult content that casuals couldn’t do as well, so this brand has never had exculsively casual content. GW1 was friendly because it wasn’t open-world, I saw plenty of rage in pvp and certain pve in GW1.

style.6173:

This is just a horrible piece of work by ANET. Living story events are meant to be played. They should be required a hardcore guild coordinating to beat it.

Let me make it really easy for you ANET: Build accessible content as part of the living story. Do separate side bosses for the hardcore guilds. Making the entire living story hardcore is just plain dumb.

The worm is not a part of the living story, and affords you no LS achievements.

reply to each bullet point:

1. I have fairly low specs and found this playable, but i lowered my graphics, perhaps this is an issue for people with absolutely awful PC’s.
2. I didn’t notice a single one hit kill mechanic outside of failing marionette. Perhaps people who run builds glassy enough to get one shot should learn to dodge or run tankier sets.
3. This is fair and accurate criticism.
4. Debatable, as this is an open-world “raid”.
5. Trash mobs are the fault of the players, you can prevent the mob spamming by killing the eggs.
6. Didn’t notice platforming, but I haven’t experienced every aspect of the fight, if there is, I agree.
7. This is a side boss, unaffiliated with the LS, and does not require that they make it casual friendly.

The mesmer is OP as hell in a 1 on 1 fight. Guardians I like to call free bags whenever I see them alone.

Roaming
Dominant Class=Mesmer/Thief
Below Par= Guardian

Also, seriously, whats with the ranger hate? They aren’t that bad. They aren’t that great, but in many cases they are more useful then Guardians, especially in roaming situations and skirmishes.

[/quote]

Guardian isn’t terrible 1v1, but it largely depends on the build and class of the opponent and whatever the guardian is running, for example mesmer with almost any combination of cripple and condi on clone death and PU is a very rough counter, and a guardian in an overtly support spec is going to have a bad time killing anything. Ranger for support is significantly worse then Guardian outside of the water fields they can bring to a fight for support, and their damage tends to be staggeringly single target when focusing on condition damage.

Tier S: Guardian and Warrior for their presence in most WvW scenarios, there are even some Guardian builds that can be very effective at solo roaming, but this rating is largely due to the GVG and WvW’s perceptions of the plate classes value, and the undeniable / unfortunate contribution of stacking many of them.

Tier A: Ele and necro, Necro’s can find a use in almost every aspect of WvW, they can solo roam, but like guardian face difficulty doing so during outnumbered fights, difficult class and build counters, and weak mobility. Otherwise, Necro is an important part of GvG and ZvZ warfare as aoe pressure through conditions and wells. Elementalists have retained their higher skill floor and though weaker then they used to be in large part to nerfs and the condition meta are still VERY important members of a GVG fight, and very strong in ZVZ warfare with staff, (not to say the dual-wielding spec variants are bad either.) additionally dual-wielding eles remain great fixtures for havoc groups and great for solo roaming featuring good sustain and mobility.

Tier B: Engineer Thief and Mesmer, Engineer is a great, high skill floor class often featured in havoc groups and solo roaming to varying (depending on the skill of the individual) success, a well played engi will find solo roaming very rewarding, and their utility and condi pressure is often indispensable to havoc groups. Engineer is often unused in GvG’s and though grenade spamming can be powerful condi pressure is susceptible to serious retributive damage through constant retaliation uptime in a sustained ZvZ fight. Thief is arguably the best solo roamer and a great contribution to a havoc squad featuring the ability to stealth team-mates and finish off low health enemies quickly and efficiently. Thieves are sometimes brought in GvG’s where they remain at the fringe of the fight poking at the fights back lines and occupy similar tasks in ZvZ. Though nice, in these two formats their contribution is often not hugely significant in these facets. Mesmer is in competition with thief for the king of roaming, though not as mobile it’s 1v1 capacity is almost limitless featuring powerful decent, condition, and burst capabilities, additionally in small group / havoc squads shatter mesmer/ lockdown is a powerful addition bringing group stealth, boon denial and aoe burst damage to down groups of enemies quickly. In GvG’s mesmers, like thieves, often sit at the fringe of fights contributing strong utility aoe’s and chaos fields to a fight. Though thief and mesmer and useful to have, very few of them are often necessary for most GvG’s and ZvZ’s.

Tier C: Ranger, this class has decent to subpar solo roaming capabilities, and is mildly valuable to a havoc squad via it’s water field. Though ranger viability in spvp hinges on spirits, that spec unfortunately does not translate well to wvw, and though the ranger longbow aoe is always nice, they are sadly almost never requested or appreciated in GvG or ZvZ.

From an entirely solo-roaming perspective and small group perspective.

Tier S: Thief, Mesmer
Tier A: Warrior, Engi, Ele
Tier B: Guardian, necro
Tier C: Ranger

The problem I have with minionmancers and especially spirit rangers is that they are entirely passive on the pet players side. So in essence the other player doesn’t play against the pet player but against the guildwars 2 game engine in this regard. Which makes this such a frustrating mechanic to me. And which is also why I don’t mind fighting mesmers, as they need to be much more active with their clone generation.

Are they? I don’t know because I haven’t leveled a necro or ranger yet. And I do appreciate that you differentiate their minions from clones, because as a mesmer I know those are not passive. Yet I often see mesmers criticized in the same manner.

I’m sure the minions are passive to some extent. But lots of classes have passive abilities and traits.

Manipulating and using clones to ones advantage is not passive play, when people refer to passive play that is in regards to phantasms, and phantasm-centric builds.

MM necro and Spirit ranger are both considered quite a bit more passive than other playstyles, both my the community at large and many people who main those classes.

Impossible to say until we see it in practice. I just point to the fact that buying gems is also “Opt in” while the focus on gem-sales is also destroying the game so just the fact that something is “Opt in” does not mean it’s not a problem.

But how is Gem sales destroying the game? I’m very interested in how you come to this claim.

The perception that this is shameless greediness is what’s turning people off in this circumstance.

This is either a joke, or NCsoft has decided to cannibalize gw2’s more mobile mmo population to scurry them along to wildstar.

Guanglai Kangyi.4318:

Guardians IMO are in a bad place in PvE. They basically have everything that mesmers have, support-wise, but weaker. Their primary sell ATM is being able to stack perma-protection in a fairly wide area while still having okay defensive support across the board; they have healing, condition removal, reflects, and stability, but they aren’t the best at anything.

The biggest problem really is that Anet thought it would be funny to buff Mantra of Resolve and Mantra of Recovery to do the exact same thing that Stand Your Ground and Purging Flames do, except on shorter cooldowns and with more uses, then didn’t bother to really buff anything about guardians to compensate.

Strength in Numbers is a nice pug-carry buff to have though.

support is moot in pve, reflect or go home.

Please dont link garbage on the forums.

Lets see how many iterations of this weeks thread we can get going. I’d like to see this one get closed before the day is over.

You joke about it, but it has happened.

I would pay a decent chunk of gold to see you guys try to 5v5 AoN.

Hmm, i’ll take a crack at this.

skill 4- Grasping Light – Detonate Grasping Light (this skill would have similiar mechanics to binding blade.)

chain Part 1 -Grasping Light
The guardian slashes the target with their sword inflicting damage, and applying Brilliant Light for 20 seconds.

damage: (Not sure, but thinking mediocre to low.)
CD: 20 seconds
range: 130
cast time: 1/2s
note: should have a somewhat noticeable telegraph
_________________________________________________________________

chain part 2- Detonate Grasping Light
The guardian detonates grasping light interrupting the target, applying blind, 5 seconds of chill, and teleporting the enemy 900 range closer to the guardian, enemies that were not interrupted are not teleported.

dmg: ~
CD: ~
cast time: Instant
Range: blinks the target a maximum of 900 range closer to the casting guardian. Does not blink targets that are not interrupted.

Skill 5- Divisive Justice

A ward is placed travelling straight from the guardian in the direction that he/she is facing, targets that are hit by the ward initially are stunned for 2 seconds and take damage. The ward remains in place for 3 seconds.

range: 900
damage: 600 base
duration: 3 seconds
CD: 30 seconds
cast time: 1/2
note: again, at least somewhat noticeable telegraph

I’m assuming you were the asura PU condition mesmser that wasn’t actually doing any damage at all? I did say to him on mumble “I need help over here. This fight isn’t going to end.” You should have just let me kill that up-level.

Also, I jumped on you twice because, you may have gotten away if you would have just cleared that one bleed on you, 60 second bleed is nasty. However, instead of running a condition clear you run decoy/blink/veil

Aww, you remembered me I wasn’t specced for 1v1 (hence the lack of damage…I was specced for zerg v zerg survival), but happened to see you gank an upleveled. I figured: “hey, its a mag guy, he’ll want a fight, its even a VR guy, they always talk about wanting fights!” so…I attacked…then I got you down to under half health and you had a necro buddy come help It was kinda cute hehe. If you want a rematch feel free to PM me, I actually really really like to 1v1 people in WvW Win or lose, it’s always fun! Maybe this time I’ll even spec for damage just for you (I wasn’t really speced for condi stuff, mostly just for survival in ZvZ) Just be glad I wasn’t on my bunker engi…then it definitely woulda been a long time fighting!

I sometimes just chill in Obsidian Sanctum looking for 1v1’s..feel free to come join!

PU Mesmer looking for 1v1s. Shocker.

I don’t run PU in 1v1’s when I’m dueling But it is quite handy for zerg survival

Correct me if I am wrong, but your saying you run a build that becomes less effective the more enemies there are in a zerg setting?

also I’m gonna start a pool, the closest person wins 5 gold and you can pick any assortment of the choices, for his 1v1 spec is he running:

-glass phantasm
-tanky phantasm
-condi on clone death
-4 stealths
-condi mesmer
-“hybrid” (The build equivalent of calling yourself agnostic.)

1) Your statement makes no sense about PU…PU has nothing to do with the number of enemies attacking you. It is very useful in popping a decoy or when veiling in ZvZ play to gain these buffs to help survive initial pushes with as much health as possible. I do find it funny though that people complain about PU in 1v1’s, then when people state they don’t use, they still complain or insult the mesmer. Until you know what builds I run (which it sounds like you don’t…several of them I’ve even posted on the forums!), please PLEASE don’t start talking smack :P I never run base cheese builds that I see MANY other mesmers play
2) None of those, SO HA!
3) I’d be more than happy to duel anyone (I was in OS for a bit today)..oddly I never get tells
4) I’m more than willing to talk mesmer stuff in game, just shoot me a mail or a tell when I’m on

So, tl;dr: If you’re going to try to smack talk me, or insult me, feel free to message me in game instead of making broad statements about my play when you obviously have NO idea

Those were fun duels ^^ take care.

What makes a good phantasm mesmer?

Breathing.

See this stuff is just pointless. Even if the build type is newbie-friendly, there is definitely skill involved in playing it.

Breathing is a skill, and it is involved in almost every spec, if you don’t breath your gonna pass out, then you will probably lose. Depends though, your phantasms would keep doing their thing.

It’s pretty silly to even raise a stink when your demands are that an entire guild sacrifice real life priorities to appease you.

Maybe Mag guilds should send Meow challenges at a time absurd for them so the story gets flipped cause it’s all pretty dumb~

You’re more than welcome to ask for a GvG through mail or whispers. Mail Fidd, Phill or myself. However, don’t act surprised if we don’t wake up on Monday at 3 AM in the morning just to please you.

After playing 20/20/30 PU Condi Mesmer with sword/pistol and scepter/torch I can safely say generally the reward given for such minimal skill put into it is astounding. I have never played such an easy, yet INSANELY overpowered and effective setup among all the classes I’ve played and I sPvP regularly with all of them. This is purely from a duel perspective though involving 1on1 situations. Second on that list would be 10/030/0/30 p/d d/p condi thief and then maybe spirit ranger after that, but the gap between those 2 and PU mesmer builds whether condi OR direct dmg is astounding in terms of risk/reward.

10$ for , you are a warrior .

Seeing warrior is nowhere to be seen in your post about risk / reward.
And
Warrior is nowhere to be seen in your post about risk / reward.
And
WARRIOR is nowhere to be seen in your post about RISK / REWARD

Nope, doesn’t get less funny the more you say it

I dont main warrior and I agree with that gentleman, the amount I get out of that build is EONS more than I should based on the skill I put in.

Walk away, as a guardian your melee is all cleave, you will do nothing but spam weakness on yourself endlessly with that, and any decent mesmer will walk behind clones or strafe to avoid scepter, unless your very glassy and the mesmer is very bad it’s gonna end up being a counter for you.

If you go shatter mesmer expect to get farmed by thieves, especially s/d, and warriors. Engineers will walk all over a shatter mesmer, and a minion necro will as well.

the words of a PU/phantasm mesmer ^

Very good shatter mesmers can do very well, and operate in team settings much better than the last two, the only reason to run PU/phantasm mesmer is because your ego is attached to victory in a 1v1.

Tyrion is extra quite today…
I wonder why?
I’m guessing its because he lost all of FA borderlands during NA prime.
^^ jajajaja

His voice is tired after all the EHSTACK EHSTACK.

omg its Wednesday and the threads not lock wth 2 weeks in a row o.o

Mods stopped locking Mag threads back when they figured out that we liked it.

Anyone else remember the first TC thread?

This is the real reason.

So, and I’m just trying to be certain about this, what you seem to be telling us is that you were under the impression that if not for this gentleman turning into a reindeer you would have killed him? A reindeer too far?

Maguuma and Yaks Bend DO have an alliance, that knowledge is clear as day but these FILTHY SHEEPLE can’t see what’s right in front of them. You’ve got to dig deeper, expose them for the game mode ruining monsters they really are.

Historically Yak’s bend would roll over and give up when pushed on during the week, but it looks like SBI has taken over that title

AKA, going back to work. YB just had a lot of weekend warriors pulling long hours in previous periods. The around the clock population is a bit better balanced now.

Can’t speak for SBI, but their morale seems shaky.

Perhaps no one has informed you, but Maguuma is made up almost entirely of housewives and unemployed hipsters, explaining our unusually stable population.

Go away, your like that drunk dude that leaves a voice mail on his ex-girlfriends phone about how much he doesn’t miss her.

To be honest, the good warriors I know really think they were buffed this patch. So much for warrior nerf.

They lied to you.

Well, I don’t think they did considering the one waded into a group of VotF and walked out the other side without much trouble. Though from what I understand most every warrior thinks they are UP anyway.

A single person walking through a group of people has less to do with their talent/class changes and more to do with the apparently simultaneous mass suicide of that group of people.

Sorry, but orphans burning each other is just in bad taste.

You are why we can’t have nice things.
