Does anyone know if SYG acts as a stun break for everyone who gets stability, or just the Guardian?
It is only a stun break for yourself. If you want to get a skill with stab that is a stun break for your allies you have to go deep into the virtues trait line and grab shielded mind for virtue of courage
Stability with VoC and allied stun break with VoC are actually two different traits, sadly.
yep and it’s not really worth going 6 in virtues just for that

It was/is (don’t know how it is now as i’m not at home) a server problem not a client problem because everyone in our raid along with our enemies had horrible skill lag tho it became a bit better later
It’s fun if you can find a guild who are trying their best while having a good atmosphere. Many guilds are just toxic but not all of them, you just have to be there to experience it
Recording is an essential part of helping ppl get better. It helps the guild’s better players to give advice and help you to maximize your class’ potential. If they wouldn’t require that then they might have some bad members who might not be dying but only use their skills for their own benefits while hurting the whole raid by not doing any dmg or holding back their skills like aoe stab for their own survival
They won’t change the rewards which is why it is populated.
The map design is bad with a lot of bugged things like the terrain where sometimes you can’t hit the others even if there is only a small height difference in landscape and i didn’t even mention the annoying stuff like the turrets with small respawn time. There are some nice open field places where guilds could fight but crappy things like these just make it unbearable.
Also there’s no point in defending as many ppl said before because the map resets after 3 hours and you get no rewards for defending (just like in borders).
If they would remove the enormous rewards even then i’m not sure it would be populated by others than pvers and such because borders would be still the way to go if you would want to fight.
So you have a bit of core with a lot of pugs.. great. Do this with 10 guys from your guild as that is actually a bit of a challenge but still not at the level of wvw fights as most of your enemies are underleveled and you can easily nuke through them with 10
If you really want to be unkillable you should change some things.
2 of your utilities are useless which is contemplation of purity and signet of mercy. Well they are not fully useless but you could be more effective if you change them. You don’t have any kind of stability also. You should have at least Stand your ground as your utility. I would recommend hold your ground as well as it gives protection that increases your survivalability and these shouts also help the ppl around you. Signet of Judgement is nice if you really find yourself in need of stunbreakers. If not then i would use Purging Flames as it clears 3 condis and gives you -33% condi duration.
Also SHELTER: shelter blocks dmg and you can get stacks of might depending on how many times they hit you. It can save your life many times as you can run through an entire zerg with it and block all the dmg that might kill you.
According to this i would also change the build a bit around. I would go 0/0/6/6/2. If you don’t want Purging then 0/1/6/6/1.
1st version: Valor line: Strenght in Numbers, Mace of Justice and Altuistic Healing (AH because it gives you a much better sustain then what you have now)
Honor line: Superior Aria, 2 Handed Mastery or Empowering Might (as you run with 1 2h and 1 1h i would go with EM) and Force of Will
Virtues line: Master of Consecrations
2nd version: same things in Valor and Honor line
I would go at least 5 into virtues as your virtues would give boons. Also this build would be helping your friendlies a bit as well.
Runes: This build would go better with Melandru or Trooper runes (i prefer melandru). I would also get energy sigils for your weapons as they increase your survival as well. Also I would get a staff and at least focus instead of shield but as you said you don’t want to change your weapons.
DAWN is still in Gandara and won’t move anytime soon if nothing big is going to happen. We have the same as our guild name and guild tag. http://dawnguild.eu/ : our website
I think you have mistaken us with these guys who seems to have chosen the same guild tag as us – http://www.gw2wvw.net/topic/dawn-first-light-gaming-oceanic-aunz-pvx-blackgate. Our guilds consists of europeans (well besides 1 guy) and we are not a pvx guild, we are only a wvw guild
Sorry to say this man but you were carried hard in this gameplay video.
What I saw is that you don’t seem to know how to land your bursts on the enemy. Also you play slow. You are not using focus 5 in any encounter offensively, you only use it for blocks and not even to block high dmg attacks. As a dps guard that’s one of your biggest dmg source as it can do 5k dmg easily (well with berserker amulet). Also you can’t really set up a Whirling Wrath burst and you use Judge’s intervention most of the times to cause only burning (even if your dmg works wonders with that because of the runes but it is wasted only like that). Judge is an awesome ability with what you can setup focus 5 or/and WW bursts on your enemies. Personally I don’t like scepter as in team fights you have the warrior and bunker guard for cc (well you didn’t have them here so it is fine to take scepter to have a little cc). My personal choice would be to use berserker amulet as your dmg really sucks with celestial or if you want to have more survivalability try out the 2nd build that i wrote down after this
I would leave these builds here that I think are much better so you can look at it:
From Silven: http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fVAQNArdRlsApaolDxbI8DVR8gkjVfqMQDcu+XwcA-TZxHwAd2fYwRAwwJAAwjAoYZAA
After the April Update this build has come completely from last position to first, the GS2 lands with rage sigils making it an AoE, undodgable machine. This will be your first meditation build and best in most situations. Optionals: Mc>Sw if playing against a thief assaulting your backpoint. Sc>Sw if your team lacks control.
Personally I like this build a lot. So much burst that if you surprise enemies, like coming a bit later to the team fights, you can do pretty much almost a 100%-0% burst on enemies. Survivalability comes from dodges, blocks and blinds
And the other one: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/guardian/Empowering-Wrath-6-DPS-Build-Stella-Alamarr/first
There are more builds here but I really like the M/F, GS build in this one with the symbols. You can pretty much hold points as if ppl stay on point they just melt thanks to the symbols and your dmg. Bit more survivalability and if you play your cards right you won’t lose to attrition like most of the other dps guard builds.
Well I’m sure that we will see a new skyhammer before a gvg mode (or this idea) because clearly that’s what people really want.
On a serious note it is really not that hard to implement but as everyone said before it’s a lost cause because A-net is more focused on pve content (I know wvw team is separated from the pve one) and don’t really give a kitten about wvw and what people really want. I had hopes for a thing like this before but for some time it is sure that they just don’t care. Looking forward to Camelot Unchained and maybe after that they will realize that they should have supported this game mode that had a lot of potential with the combat mechanic this game has
Hambow warrior should be easy if you use your blocks, blinds and dodges well. Hammer is really predictable and longbow 5 is easy to spot now. Engineers are a problem tho esp if decap engi but if you can get a good burst on them they should be easily taken down, but you need to be on top of your game vs good engis
If you talk about pvp i would use this: http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fVAQNAR8dlsApaolDxbI8DVR8QlZK+i2UVAgz1/QQkDA-TZREwASuAAReCAo2fAwBBAbZAA
Build is about high burst and your survivalability comes from blinds, dodges and blocks as i said. Condi builds can be a problem if you use your condi cleanse unwisely. This build loses to attrition so if the fight goes on for too long you will most likely die. Good 1v1 build.
Other option is this: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fVAQNAR5dlsApaodDxcI8DNR8AVVAweKb5/X/jgkDA-TJRGwAAeCAJuIAg2fAaZAA bit more sustain, you might not lose to attrition as much as you loose with the other build tho i find this build to be a good teamfighter build and not that much 1v1 build as you loose a gap closer with sword and kiting can be effective againts you tho if you know what you are doing you can win most of the fights with this build as well in 1v1. You have less defense vs condis as you loose the 2 condi cleanse on virtue of resolve but you have 2500 more health and you have 2 less skills with blind (virtue of justice and sword 2) and more cd on your virtues etc.
If you want to see this build in action look at the videos in this channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQp9h6mRgHc1mOk_BhqgV_w
He’s not fighting againts that skilled opponents but you can see how the build works at least
Running with that high vitality would be good if you would do any dmg. You literally do no dmg. A healing signet warrior would laugh at you because he could outheal you. Well I guess you want to be in zergs with that build. Try to change the sentinel pieces to soldier pieces and get a bit more dmg from trinkets like a mix of zerker or cavalier to still dish out dmg.
If you want to roam run the healway build with cleric and some soldier pieces both armor and trinkets.
Since that post was full of hate and flame; I fixed it for you. Btw, when AG fought Vizunah, I didn’t see them turtle up once (although they did have around 3 times the numbers, but they were still fun to fight)
I still don’t understand why everyone is so upset because of night capping. Yes sure we were in the lead before that but it happened, happens and will happen. There are many servers that can do it. We can do it vs lower ranked servers as well. Just do everything you can when you are playing. If any server has the ability, manpower to night cap they will. Just play and don’t cry. The best example for this is when we fought Vizunah. Even though we knew we will lose from the beginning they gave us great fights and I was happy about that. As many ppl said before WvW=Coverage. Play to have fun as it is just a game…
Some people play for fun and like to have fights. Those same people really hate it when they can’t get fights and the enemy wait until they’re asleep to ruin all of their work that they performed during the day.
Jesus don’t like haters… and sorry for ignorant haters. Merry Xmas! But I think Shino is more like buddhist or shintoist… oh wait, they don’t be haters too.
I read shintoist as shinoist xD
I know you meant that as an insult, but you’ve given me an idea of a philosophy; Shinoism: the eternal love of Gandara and the eternal hatred of gankers.
Lol @ Desolation people getting angry over Shino’s words.
some people just really hate logic.
Just so you know, I appreciate all of the good fights I’ve gotten from [EXG] you’re a credit to your server and I have a lot of respect for your guild (even though you’re from Desolation)
Then Shino gather ppl from the server or recruit other ppl from somewhere to stay up late to have a night force to prevent other servers’ night capping. I personally won’t stay up as I think sleeping is more important than a game^^

Great double team effort on our keep in EB right now- AM blocking off the spawn while AG is attacking the keep. 40++ AM, full AG blob. neither side attacking anything else anywhere on the whole EB. Don’t bother trying to deny it, lots of screenies taken.
Clear sign that they have agreed to gang up on us- so sad that you have to resort to this rather than try and beat us on your own?
You just lost what little respect I had for AG ankitten ow we know exactly what your servers are made of.
Enjoy your alliance, let’s hope Gandara guilds rise to the challenge and pop some points during prime time to offset this onslaught by both servers.
Double team? Thats not double team, thats taking advantages, you guys do the same, AM does the same, when we have wooden tier towers, you only bash on us, so does AM, when AM is ticking too high, both of us bash on AM, maybe abit kitteny cause AG stays away from GD towers alot? and today we actually attack. =/
This. Today we reseted Hills and Bay together with AM on Ag bl today. Cause T3 bay/hill is a no no in prime time. We saw Am go for bay and we went hills, then switched, then switched again. No real ganking (except a bit for weekend on EB, u mad?)
No, it wasn’t anything like the same.
Let’s spell it out very clearly. AM camped the EB spawn for over an hour while AG attempted to take the keep directly behind them.
They made no attempt to attack the south gate.
Their only purpose for being there was to prevent Gandara from reinforcing the keep defenders.
They didn’t even try to cap anything else for that hour, only after it was obvious that the keep attack was failing did a small team try and take something of AG’s.
The excuses spouted here for this action are hilarous.
The funniest thing was that 1. you totally failed and 2. you probably caused your server to come third in the match up when you could have capped half the map while AG were busy at our keep.
Try it again tomorrow, we can laugh at you some more:-)
I have to say it again. Do you realise that there are paths on the left and right to leave your spawn not just the middle? If they spawn camp you for an hour then I think that is your tactical fail. You could have easily reinforced your keep, easily caught AM by suprise from the sides or you could have even surprised AG because they wouldn’t expect an attack while AM was at your spawn. I wasn’t there so I just have the info from what I read/heard but I honestly think that you could have gotten out of the spawn in one of these paths. If not your whole zerg then about half from one of the paths while the other half of your zerg is going from the opposite side.
When a team(AM) just camps another teams(GA) spawn point so they cant get out while the other team(AG) attacks GAs keep for longer than 20min you know they are double teaming.
And why would AM benefit from AG taking a keep from Gandara when they are 3rd in a matchup? Also there are more than 1 way to get out of a spawn so if they spawn camp you then you are doing something wrong. If they attacked the gate that is near your spawn then that’s not really spawn camping
Haha you made me laugh. Why would they team up? Tbh am could have said the same thing when ag and gandara attacked their keep in eb the same time and ag capped am’s garrison in the mean time in their border this morning. But nice theory. I think am and ag just wanted to make your keep t1…
@Dyno you dont seem to understand that coverage wins a matchup… just look how the ppt was during primetime yesterday when we got people playing, you were bellow 200 points most of the time and we were 350-420 all the time.. you only won this matchup due to superior coverage in offpeak times, nothing else. Dont really see that you need to brag that much and blame that a PvE server is winning this matchup when almost all the servers in silver league is PvE heavy servers, just look both AG and UW both being very high populated servers aswell. Think we can easily say that we got a lot higher PvE base that dosn’t care about WvW compared to what you guys have.
As you and other people said, it’s a game, you are here to have fun. Most of us have fun playing with guildies and when we do, we kinda rock ur server to the ground when we have people online.
What do you mean bragging? your the one doing that. Deso shouldnt be good enough to win this league but we are, because the silver league is poor, whoever gets promoted to gold league from here will get absolutely hammered in that league.
You can say what you want, your getting beat of a Pve server fighting with 80% pugs.
Every day since Friday, AG just moaned and moaned, get a night guild in then you’ll win, then we can all get some peace. Its pathetic.
If AG are having “fun” with this amount of complaining id hate to see you lot upset.
I don’t mind Deso winning personaly. I mostly play in primetime and I understand why other people are complaining. In primetime the fights you bring are just lackluster. I know that you mostly have pugs and that’s the reason. You just have to understand that we are just used to have lots of action in primetime and it’s just not the same vs Deso than other silver league servers’ guilds. I also play for fights and don’t care about ppt.
The problem for others is that some of you are just proud of yourself winning while you have superior coverage compared to us and most of silver league’s servers. I think they wouldn’t mind you winning this matchup if you could bring a lot more action in primetime.
Thanks for the farmfest AM in garrison. I had more than 100 heavy loot bags which sold for about 3 gold alone. It was so much better than farming Crown Pavilon. Keep up the good loot bags.
My favourite moment in reset night was, when Gandara and Jade Sea both attacked our garri’s inner. Gandara pushed into the lords room and Jade Sea went away from our garri. I don’t know why JS did that. It was very interesting. You had the numbers that’s for sure.
That’s because we were definitely chatting with JS on how to best screw over AG. Or something. Erm. They prolly figured it would be easy pickings once Gandara got it, as we are not known for defending stuff.
I didn’t say anything about you chatting with JS and teaming up for it man… I just pointed out that it was a bit confusing why they weren’t even trying to go in and cap it since they had the number advantage…

At UW border we ran 4 groups until you had a huge blob at your tower so you asked for that really… rddt and doa was the only one who grouped up then. The 4 group only teamed up for uw garrison and bay and we were not even in the same place then.
Can you discuss this in private please? I think no one is interested in your affairs especially because Aurora Glade is not matched with Gunnar’s Hold this week. Just play the game, have fun and respect your opponents. Cheers.
