Guild Wars 2

This + some real leaderboards/ranking system would be perfect to really let this game take off as an e-sport. I just can’t understand why they won’t support DM. Imagine it with the downed mechanic and all the layers of tactics and team comps.

I would prob play an offensive Guardian or maybe an Elementailist, to tired to theorycraft tho, might to that tomorrow

Iv never enjoyed pvp like in this game, big learning curve and a high skillcap coupled with fun classes and many layers of strategy.

Love it!

I agree with OP, right now i just get the feeling that we keep doing that boring 2-team tournament for all eternity, the pvp in this game is so amazing, it would be a superb spectator e-sport. But it’s all thrown away.

Iv been saying to myself for a year now that no no, they will fix it. They will make use of this really fun and challenging pvp and make it worth while, but i start to loose hope

The good thing about this game is that you can pretty much tailormake specs that reflects your playstyle, this suits mine quite perfectly and it works really well within the team.

I should probably have included more variations of the spec in the build, but then again that was not what it was for.

Thanks for the pointers tho!

Valid points!, i do not think that switching from sword/pistol to staff, if that is what you meant is that good. The sword pistol combo has to much to offer.

My Phantasms will do less damage sure, but it’s not enough of a loss to outweigh what you gain in terms of survivability in my opinion, but that’s probably because it fits me better with my playstyle and our teams kind of style, where burst and loads of damage is less important than having a controlled fight, hence the signet.

I will however add the more damage focused spec to the guide aswell when i have time.

On the note of it being not very focused, well it depends on how you see it.
It is very focused on giving you the upper hand in every fight, and that is by having your Phantasms. You will be able to 1v1 just about everything when still having a very big impact in teamfights. It’s just not doing it by the Phantasms dmg output only, but buffing you aswell. Yet they still do plenty damage as they are!

Currently re-doing the stream’s on the website, will be up later.

All done!

You can also find my live stream on the website.

I just get a clean slate when i press the link.

But tbh, alot of people think that mesmers will have some superuber damage due to all the cry on the forums, thing is tho, that altho the damage is fine it isn’t what people make you think it is. Survivabilty comes mainly (for me atleast since i don’t play a bunker spec) from utility skills, such as blink and decoy. Also you increase your survivability alot when you learn to play with peoples minds

Hard to help alot tho since i couldn’t see the build you are currently running. but i guess you will retrieve the repair kit with your portal and maybe use the treb? in that case i would suggest going GS + Staff.

Cheers

Hello, iv been reading quite alot of the posts raging about class inbalance and i think we need to think differently. First of all we didn’t design the professions and altho alot of us have put alot of time into the game already, we haven’t played it enough to see the bigger picture. Im sure the devs have a good plan and put alot of testing into all the different roles. And probably many of those wont shine until higher level of play, We see evidence for this already. During the bwe’s hundred blades warriors where the “over powered”, “flavor of the month” (more like flavor of the weekend) thing to play, but one trick ponies will always be that, once you learn to counter their trick they quickly become alot weaker. Now that is one of the more extreme examples but the same is true for all different specs and roles.

My approach to this is like my approach to everything in life, I haven’t played all the roles/professions yet so i do not know enough to argue. I will simply work my hardest to counter whats killing me and work out a way around it, cause in my eye’s thats easily 50% of what any pvp is about, in whatever game you play.

Please refer from trying to claim that this or that profession is op in this tread if you want to post a reply, we are all kinda tired of it as it is.

Enjoy this awsome peice of music with me instead!

Much love

Hello fellow Mesmers!

“@Fabbs.3579
That will never be an esport. It is a casual game type. Two DIFFERENT things.
The the closest thing to an esport in this kind of game were the formats in guildwars one. On the topic of esports these formats are not even remotely close to even being called an esport.”

Please elaborate

How can 5v5 ranked (will be) pvp with very heavy emphasis on teamplay and playcalling not be “E-sports” ?

This thread does not deliver, i could pretty much guess what was going to be in it from the title.

And sure enough.. Hi guys, im a superserial pvp veteran, cause i have played wow for 7 years. In wow you had to haev so much skill, like finding a random Priest-rogue-mage or “insert random shadow cleave”. yes yes you didn’t make the post to compare it to wow but who are we kidding right? it all boils down to wow when it’s about mmorpgs.

As stated by A-net they want to make it feel more like a moba = the timing of skills is more important than the number of skills at your disposal, and to be honest i think they made it pretty darn good. I guess however after reading this derpfest of a post that neither of you like this style of play. To bad, i for one love it.
There is an easy fix for your problem tho, either try to change your expectations or go play something else.
