Guild Wars 2

Quite interested in the build myself. Considering you don’t have any elixirs equipped
are you really just cleansing using the healing turret ? Or do you still have 409 with hidden flask ? Also quite intriguing that considering you use perplexity runes you
chose not to use toolkit. The pull is an interrupt as well albeit a single target one….
Then again looking at your play-style i’m guessing the rocket-boots is just worth more than the toolkit…

Its amazing how useful healing + bombs can be. Been toying
with a similar style of play myself albeit i have been using
celestial gear mixed with pvt trinkets. Out of curiosity what
exactly is your current build ? would love to see the traits
and armor so that i could see if i could modify my own build
to be as effective as you are…..

Not having to even worry that a thief might kill you 1v1. EVER.

I already have a full celestial set. and it only took 30 days to craft. Not 2-3 months. 5 days per piece X 6 Armour pieces = 30 days. 40 days if you’re going for celestial weapons as well although to be honest there is such a thing as too much celestial stats. So its not that bad.

Also, The Flamethrower doesn’t get reflected back. Nor does elixer guns fumigate. Nor toolbelt skills or skill 4 on dual pistols. you just have to pay attention to what you use when you see reflects. Its not really a problem to me honestly. Then there is also toolbelt. Just magnet the person reflecting and smack him in the face.

Regarding the Nerf hammer the build diversity is higher than its ever been in my opinion. Celestial gear alone has opened up the way to all sorts of unorthodox builds. like a viable Elixer gun + flamethrower build in WvW. You just have to be willing to experiment.

Jetpack with hover ability. when combined with rocketboots and superspeed…..
WE CAN FLY! =D

…that and star gates would be nice too.

In my opinion it would be simply op if it worked with kits like
the grenade kit. With boon duration runes and 30 alchemy you’d simply
be able to nadespam while hitting progressively harder.

How people can still roll without toolkit i will never understand. Gear Shield alone
has saved me countless number of times from thieves. That being said elixer S would
have been enough for you to waste his burst and kitten him after he was done. Its been ages since a thief has won a 1v1 with me. To the extent that i find thieves to be the weakest opponents in WvW. Yes, They have a ridiculous level of burst damage, but thats all they have. If you can survive past it they are pretty much dead at your hands.

If you have a ton of karma you can just farm all the orr temples till you get
an entire soldier stats set. Then just slot in whatever runes you want. you can even
get an entire set of soldiers trinkets in orr. Before i could afford buying armors i pretty
much just tested out with temple armors mind you the only sideefect is that you cannot salvage karma armor. so whatever runes you slot in there are irrecoverable.

Its pretty amusing how durable you can get with all the upgrades
the traits have gotten lately. a few months ago i would never
have been able to achieve the durability i had in this video.

you i wasn’t even going for a full tanky build here.

No stunbreak? I would be worried about a good large group with static fields etc. even with stabilized armor.

Funny that you should mention that. At the time i was actually testing to see how durable i could make a build that had a single condition removal and no stun breaker. I compensated for it quite a bit by using 2 runes of melandru, 2 water and 2 monk, a bowl of poultry and leek soup, stabilized armor, leg mods and protection injection.

A sigil of restoration worked for minor heals mid battle every time an enemy i tagged went down. all in all i was quite surprised i survived as long as i did. since then i have been thinking of getting a sigil of blood for more midcombat heals….. after running hgh with 409 for so long its quite an interesting time for trying out other builds.

This was a public raid hosted by the Illustrious Skwas From [Teo].
While not a proper guild raid it was still epic!

I rock a non hgh might stacking pistol/shield build thats pretty useful in group situations. specially for smaller groups vs larger zerg. here’s some random footage
from yesterday:-

I agree with the OP. The Shield is just too friggin amazing.

Was a fun reset night http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=8Dc4E52jAzI

Good Reset night. Here’s some footage

@ rezzet. Try a tankcat variant. You’d be surprised how viable an engy can be in wvwvw.
Usually takes around 8-10 people to kill me( that too if im distracted). I just keep trolling zergs. And they get mad that i aint dying easy so they chase me. I usually lead them into a friendly zerg or one that belongs to the 3rd server. Its ridiculous fun

Like Skwas mentioned above. We just did it to prove that we could :p
looking forward to facing you guys again someday. preferably with
more equal server populations

Exactly. I find it ridiculously satisfying to fight a much larger zerg. Any gunnars that were assaulting the eb whiside ridge entrance from our overlook might recognize me as the ridiculously hard to kill Norn engineer that was battling for a good hr against your zerg. It was overwhelming odds but it was surprisingly fun.

In my opinion paid transfers are the best thing that could happen. Atleast now you wont have entire guilds with 300+ members hopping about. And the fact that its cheaper to hop to a low pop server means that populations will stabilize eventually. Besides. You dont really HAVE to pay to move. One can always grind a ton and exchange gold for gems if needed. 30-35 gold(thats around what 1600 gems goes for) is a week of grind at best.

@Jimmy Thanks for that For those of us that keep fighting giving up isn’t really in our vocabulary lol. Just fighting till we get better Sadly there are a lot of players in our server that over the last month or so have just stopped even trying to play wvwvw. To be honest if those players just came back on to help us fight, the battles would be a lot more even. And i wont even mention the guilds that abandoned the server….

I find it amusing really. We’re ridiculously outnumbered in whiteside but we refuse to give up and drop down a tier. Good times looking forward to this week cant wait to get back from work….
