Why is there so much thief hate??? I’m not a great thief but I’m not bad either but getting blamed before the match starts is really stupid.
And this is how you spot a bad thief, like others said before, a good thief can carry a game, a good one is dead weight, the special snowflake mentality
So, in your world only queue if you are great with the class then. And don’t call me a snowflake. I have never voted for the left and I don’t need a kitten trophy for showing up. Love how you judge someone off one post, idiot.

Player comment: Well if our thief is awesome we win but if not we lose.
The same can be said for any of the classes. One bad player is a huge impact on the team.
During a different match I got blamed for not decapping more but yet that dude couldn’t 1v1 to save home if his life depended on it. So, I had to spend most of my time trying to save his kitten .
Maybe I will just DH or Rev with the rest of the people to dodge the hate.
I have a questions about the Infinite Mist Omnipotion. I know how to create but my questions is about the 3 potions that are needed.
Can I purchase and use each potion before creating Infinite Mist Omnipotion or do the potions have to sit in my bank waiting for me to collect the other pieces to complete the Infinite Mist Omnipotion?
I’ve seen a lot of posts about Druid condi being one of the best in the games but I really enjoy the DD style more. I have asceneded gear (direct and condi) for both my DD and druid but I’m just no seeing any DD love in raids.
So, what should I push for as a druid then. DPS or healing? I have full ascended sets of marauders and viper. I can make another ascended set if I need too; so which is better magi or zealot?
So what do you suggestion stats wise? I have full ascended gear marauders and also viper’s for my druid. Can I get away with exotic magi if I have to heal?
I want the solo queue back. I don’t care about my wait times but going against Premades isn’t fair for pugs. Even if the Pre is only 3 players that is still too many.
I honestly don’t think mesmers are going to see any big changes with this balance patch. Mesmers got hit by the nerfhammer hard last time around, I don’t see them targeting one class like that.
You might want to look at the current state of the thief.
ProcessCount: 107 <— You have a lot of extra programs running in the background which may be interfering with the game (c0000005 is a memory access violation which is often the result of bad RAM or software conflicts).
Guys – its not the system. I’m been running the game for years on this system. It started with the 2/23 update. ProcessCount is not an issue with only 38% of the memory is being used and CPU % is low to mid. I’m running the newest drivers by Nvidia.
I’m not the only one getting crashes; several of my friends have also since the patch. We were all stable before it.
So, I just completed a match where the other team was a 5 man team vs 2 two man group and myself. I didn’t think a 5 man team would go against solo players? We won but still. I was my last game on top of the screenshoot.
SoloQ is not available because there are not even enough players for regular Ranked Q at the moment. Take away the solo players and they will wait hours for a Ranked match.
So! If you play within a group that should be the price you pay. Solo players should not have to deal with premades at all. As is it right now pre mades are taking advantage/abuse the system. I can’t even tell you how many times I have faced 4 players groups. The current system is NOT fair and that doesnt even get into the MMR stuff.
I’m sorry, but should poor players be winning? It’s a ladder. You climb it when you are better than the people below you.
If you aren’t, well, then you are where you belong.
See you are under the impress that Good players should only play poor players. That is where you are wrong. MM should match up teams based on MMR not just creating teams from your MMR. Team vs Team is not MMR based it’s random.
The current system is not fair in that manner nor is it fair for solo players. The current system allows teams to abuse it at the cost of the solo players.
Matching up based MMR is season 1. It sucked. Legendary players had to fight Legendary players all the way through Amber, while worse/new players got to fight a much less quality of competition to make the SAME progress. Ranks were meaningless and everybody hated it. You are now matched up based on your position on the ladder. If you’re still in Amber, you’re fighting other Ambers around the same range.
It’s infinitely better and its not going back. It’s a ladder. If you can’t progress, then your ladder standing is currently where it belongs. Deal with it.
I guess you don’t understand how the new system works. Your team is created off your MMR but your team vs team is random (Within your range).
For example (Making up numbers to make it easy):
Your MMR is 900, lets say the range is + / – 50 points. Your team could be made of 4 × 850 players but yet you will fight a 950 team. Anet is not keeping the teams MMR close enough that is why you are seeing 20+ defeats and matches 500-50. The current system needs adjustments along with a pure solo queue without groups.

Without mixing teams can have very long wait times. Fast scheduling is a top priority.
It shouldn’t matter on the queue times for teams; that is part of playing with a team. Solo players shouldn’t have to deal with any teams. It’s an unfair advantage that is being abused. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve faced 4 player groups abusing the solo queue. Teams will beat any group of randoms 99% of the time; Anet needs to make fair matches and doesn’t allow teams to fight solo players; its NOT a fair match.

ANet needs to make a “no party” queue. If players are in a party they should have their own queue that matches party against party. Instead they have the current system which put penalties on solo play but encourages abuse from 4 party groups vs randoms.
There is no reason beside laziness on their part. Everyone wants a fair system but allowing parties to go against a random group is NEVER fair even if it’s a party of two.
Yes, because Anet doesn’t have a pure solo queue. Their solo queue only stops 5 man teams. There needs to be a pure solo queue with no teams; not even a 2 person team.
So, you are taking advantage of solo players by teaming up. It’s not a fair system in any way, shape or form for a solo player.

Since the 2/23 patch my game is crashing 4-5 times within an 2 hour period. I was working on the meta in DS and it crashed 7 times during the last fight. Whatever you guys changed is not really working out.

They behave differently. The trait one will teleport your pet to you to help revive. The skill one your pet will teleport a downed player and itself to you to revive. With the skill one you don’t even have to help a downed player; your pet will revive them alone if you want.
Thanks all for the feedback. Dojo I know in our chat you suggested Celestial Shadow over Natural Stride. I love the run increase so if I switch to travelers rune my power would drop ~150 but I would have 25% run the whole time. Think its worth it?
I’ve been running a LB/staff build since the last balance patch. I know some people don’t like the build but I would like feedback anyways. Both builds are close. Been using the build in PvP and WvW.
Well, according to your link you actually do use Nature Magic. Or you meant something else by NM?
Oh, you may have meant that you run different traits, not going for the “Protective Ward”, right?
The trick is to not linger in celestial form, but just go in cast 1-2 abilities and go out.
you are welcome
I’ve been running a build like this for a few weeks. I did just add a couple shouts with the recent update. I really enjoy it; search and rescue is awesome.
I’m still trying to figure out why you are mad and directing it at me. I have never said this build was great for melee, condi, or even strong for team play. It’s like you are arguing something just to post about all your builds and you know everything about a ranger. I suggest you go back and re-read my post instead of inserting your own ideas in them.
I did.
So far, you said the build is good for melee combat
for quite a while
, it is strong for sPvP, it isn’t good for melee combat and it isn’t strong (???). And your point of validation about these statements is that I’m egoistic boaster (very 1st quote). Do you see where the contradiction comes from?
Sir, this is a forum site.
A place where opinions, brainstorming and theory-crafting is shared. What I always do is provide as much information as I can. That naturally implies I’ll correct information that is not valid. This time it was yours.
And you are taking it way too personal. Instead of trying to prove your opinion of the build you are defending by bringing up other people’s “cookie cutter worlds”.
If you don’t like my opinion – tell me why am I wrong. It’s as easy as that. Personal feelings about mutual disagreement brings no results and is of no help to anyone.
What information are you talking about? LOL all I said is that I uses this build and get objective awards a lot with it. For some reason you took this to mean the build is great for melee and team play. If you really did go back and re-read the post you would see that. Since you are being lazy I will copy them here for you.
First post: OK, I have to say I use a build very close to this one; could be the same one. And I do get crap from other players during sPvP. Most comments about it being a weird build, which I think it good because it keeps other players guessing.
Nothing about it being good at anything *
Second post: Not really. I can stay on the point for awhile and most of the time I’m top objective player for my team. But if you want to assume everyone is the same go right ahead.
about getting objective awards *
Third: I’m not trying to convince you of anything. I’m sorry you are stuck in this cookie cutter world where you have to run X-build. And yes I get top objective players most of the time running this build which includes capping and decapping. I never said it was the best for melee or even the best build. I stated I run this build and I get a lot of top objective awards; not sure where you are getting confused at.
more about objective awards *
So, please tell me what misinformation I provided if any information at all?

Saying this to a guy who already created, suggested and shared more than 4 viable builds for rangers into current meta.
And of course, tested more than 20 at this point.
I always got most objectives with a Longbow Zerker. Funny enough – I also had most loses with the build. Points really do not mean a snip. Of course you’re gonna have the most objectives by tagging stuff from range and rotating.
I stated that this build is weak and brings little contribution to actual success of the PvP match. If you are playing for self satisfaction and not for mutual team accomplishment – then what you are playing never mattered.

For twelve seconds.
They stop caring once they decap your point.
Not really. I can stay on the point for awhile and most of the time I’m top objective player for my team. But if you want to assume everyone is the same go right ahead.
Even duel-oriented Druid has problems against focusing foes like Thief/Necro/… And you are trying to convince me that you are fine face-checking these enemies by Longbow in melee range?
Let’s get real here. If you are playing this build without taking advantage of it’s superior ranged pressure and mobility – which is not holding an objective which is currently our strongest place – you are playing it wrong.
I’ve already played 5 different builds since the end of season. I lost 2 games out of 10. I can practically take a PvE build and win since everybody’s now testing stuff and fooling around.
This build is not suitable for constructive PvP. For decapping purposes it’s inferior to the decapping build. For soloing a point it’s inferior to half other builds. For teamfights it’s weaker than most other classes. There’s no advantage in this build apart from 1v1 chasing potential.
If you are expecting your enemies to follow you once you let them have your point – and they do – they are bad.
If you are trying to convince me that the weakest melee combination one can find is able to 1v1 anyone face-to-face while standing on a point – you have close to zero chance. I’ll believe if you prove it.
