Guild Wars 2

Cyanide.6947:

you declare that this class is horrible in your title, go on to vent about how hard it is to solo, and then vent some more…

you don’t ask for help about how to deal with the difficulties you are facing either.

it’s a rant post and no one is taking you seriously at all. report away.

enjoy your necro and a good day to you, sir.

we are done.

Nanoha.3892:

What weapons are you using? I personally found ele a joy to level once I had unlocked all the weapon skills (which takes longer than most classes). I don’t recall having any more problems with an ele initially than any other class I have tried. Just keep going untill you have some more talents to throw around, I would personally put them all into arcane initially. I found it more effective to build defensively rather than offensivly (items with defensive stats too). Ele certainly has one of the “steeper” learning curves, only way around that is to just keep at it.

I’ve given everything a try except earth dagger(and off hand earth) and it was the only thing i didn’t unlock. As to playing defensive is something i found out my self when i used staff water skills, just took very long to kill things.

But in general I wish there was some site like the old PvX wiki for builds as sometimes I don’t figure builds out on my own as i don’t normally mind.

But yes i do feel the class has a steeper learning curve. I can only dodge so much. It difficult because I didn’t plan on playing this defensively.

Seriously it really is and i went into this class open minded. My toon is level 11 and I’ve given up. It’s extremely difficult to solo and I’m not willing to put the energy or deal with the frustrations.

The fight to survive spells are garbage. Trying to kill things before i finally die is usually pointless because of the cast time on the first spell.

I’m not joking either. I made a fairly decent necro with double daggers, wells and healing and i can solo almost anything. But this i have no idea, i can’t figure something out what i like or what works for me with the weapons. The only thing that works is water spells with the staff but it takes so long to kill anything. Granted i can live a good amount though.

The saddest part is i feel like Vekk in GW1. All i ever saw was him die if something looked at him.

(new post because of labeled a question for some reason.)

@Deniara Ty for the offer but i did get it. I just sat there dead till someone else came along that wanted it too. Also yes it was that one in the maze.

When the game first came out Orr wasn’t so bad. There were other players running around and you were extremely likey to find someone else doing these things too.

Since the game has declined it’s become extremely difficult to completely map Orr. You either wait for others or try to come up with some way to do it. All i have seen in other players was either by waiting or sheer luck. Otherwise i just see a bunch of campers running between the towns at Penitent path doing the events.

Outside of this I’m at the point i feel forced to make a guardian or warrior. It’s all i see anymore. I love my engineer and nerco to pieces and i can survive most fight of 4 or 5. But if a veteran gets thrown in or something stupid (like the rotmouths and their ability to aggro) on top of other mobs i have problems.

In all honestly this game was over hyped. The developers (mainly John Peters) wont address the games issues when it comes to class. There is a very obvious gap when all i see 90% of the time is a warrior or guardian. To add on John plays a warrior… thats explains why no else changes for the better. Also i use to think WoW’s dev team was worse at making poor decisions and i think it’s equal now.

GW1 felt balanced. I played a necro and came up with a spec for pvp that was a nightmare. It was the same for ritualist as i made one that could keep people alive easily. What i came up with was never nerfed and didn’t exist on some build site. This game… good luck on trying to be anything you want. It suffers from the same problem of spec x works best.

For the love of god please nerf Orr.

I understand that lvl 80 areas should be difficult, but this is dumb. I’ve spent 3 days and who knows how many on repairs trying to get the winterknell Isle skill point. The rotmouth aggros anything and i mean anything. I had a Giant suddenly appear with 5 other mobs and kitten me.

I’m at the point of just waiting here for a rez hoping someone else will be attempting this. But no. No one shows, ever.

Also those way points are almost always locked due to events.

I really want to know how you guys came up with 3 million players, because i rarely encounter another player.

Well the fact it’s not bad but not good is a improvement. Also that conditions are the only thing still blows…. i tried that and it was a bad experience.

I guess the whole l2deathshroud it’s op bs still stands then huh?

It’s been a while since i actually played and when i last did necros were bottom of the food chain.

Is this still true and has the class improved at all since like…September of last year?

I feel there is so many ways i could plays this class. They may or may not be effective but they all look appealing. So far I’m enjoying the elixirs with flamethrower. I tend to die sometimes but i feel like i could become better with more skill which is important in a game.

Even though it’s unnecessary i like to stand around sometimes and push the one button for some “fwoosh.”

Supply crate is awesome….whats not to like about a one button for bandages and turrets.

I just wish i didn’t waste my time on my necro that is 80. This class feels balanced as i don’t feel op or underpowerd.

any information on whats going on with this thing?

i hit the send button but i felt i should post this here also, just incase.

Nah i feel more like a small dog with guts. But when ever there is glory to be had the ground suddenly becomes wet.

It may have been raining with my awesomeness, but somehow i don’t think that was what happened.

I agree that the class is terrible shape but before we get buffed our list of bugs needs to be fixed.

I also switched to engineer yesterday and it’s stupid. The cool down on everything is less than my wells and he takes things down without much trouble. Heck more than half his spells can be used underwater. Best part is i’m using most of my weapon attacks instead of spamming the 1 button in order to save my other attacks to survive in those hard moment.

The only time i ever saw a class having a hard in orr was a mesmer and he was doing less damage than me. I don’t know how thats possible but it was.

Death shroud is pointless outside of being annoying and trying to get those few extra hits in before being downed. It hits like a wet noodle too unless you spec into it but who the f is? If so does it even work well? So far i haven’t seen this so called op status.

I really enjoy the class and idea of it but come on, this is pathetic.

YOU HAVE NO WHERE ELSE TO POST THIS SO IT’S GOING HERE. OTHERWISE FIND IT A PLACE APPROPRIATE.

“Will Guild Wars 2 be solo-able?

Yes. You will be able to advance your character to the maximum level without ever joining a group if you so desire. Most content will be designed in a solo-friendly way, though often with mechanisms for scaling up in difficulty when more players are involved. This will give players the option to experience the game whichever way they prefer."

What i liked about guild wars, i could do things without relying upon others all time. I found it annoying. I got tired of the drama and all the garbage that comes with it. I went into this being told everything is solo able.

Apparently i was given false information and I WAS SOLD UPON SOMETHING THAT WAS NOT TRUE. IN OTHER WORDS FALSE ADVERTISEMENT.

I don’t mind the fact that there are dungeons and they are optional okay fine. But where it goes wrong is the story. The last quest in it is a dungeon. I was and amkitten off because i wont get to see the ending ever as i do not want to do dungeons. I personally prefer exploring, questing and pvp.

I want a refund of my prepurchase and gem store money purchases. I don’t take kindly to this and this whole “everything is soloable” is on several websites. THIS IS FALSE ADVERTISING.

looks like it’s a fluke problem is back

After turning down the graphics settings it seem to have helped to make it load. If someone else is having the issue can i get someone else to try and report back to see if it is true?

I am having the same issue and it’s rather annoying as my boots are going to waste. I have restarted gw2 and that fixes it sometimes. But after a few uses it usually starts having the problem again.
