Guild Wars 2

I think it was a mistake tying both PvE and PvP together like this. You should still get gold from PvP, but THIS is a mistake in my opinion.

I get what you guys are saying about “you gotta hit a thief somehow” yadda yadda, but hitting someone while they’re invisible just doesn’t sound right.

Perhaps, it’s just because I’m a warrior and have no trouble with thieves 95% of the time. Which isn’t necessarily a good thing.

I do not play thief first off. However, I have noticed that my “Volley” skills follows thieves if they go stealth. Damaging them while they are invisible.

There are several other skills that do this as well. It almost seems as if it’s intentional.

What is the point of stealth then?

Thanks!

However, I thought the scaling for earning relics was 1-9, 10-19, 20-29 etc?

Not 1-10,11-20,21-30?

That was the old system. Well in the old system you didn’t get any for 1-9. This changed with the Fractured release. Maybe they wanted to make it slightly easier to get rings now that they’ve made Agony unavoidable at some of the higher levels.

Awesome. Thanks.

Buy a gaming mouse.

I recommend the Razer Naga. You should atleast look it up!

Much easier than keybinds.

Thanks!

I am at a personal reward level 11 in FoTM.

I know about completing a set of fractals (3 and a boss fight) and getting Pristine Fractal Relics. This is what I have been doing?

I’ve heard of people getting more than 1 per day per character.

How is this? Thanks.

I’m not 100% sure but my assumptions are, as long as the event is. He will disappear when the event ends.

You just described a warrior. You would probably also enjoy a Ranger or Engineer.

Norn and Human are good classes for all three of these professions. So is Charr (for engineer and warrior)

But ultimately, your race is your choice and preference!

Good luck.

-Charr Warrior

Scepter/ Staff Eles do great AoE damage. It’s hard to spec an Ele that can survive well and dish out great AoE damage though.

Condition Necros and Mesmers can do great AoE condition damage . Same with Grenade Engineers. <———-All of these have med. survivability.

I do not believe so.

You will have to ask Map chat where you can jump in. Or just grab 3-4 friends!

Good luck!

The way GW2 works is that, every class is DPS. Every class can do almost anything.

It is really up to you, and what you want to play.

Good luck.

I loved playing GW1 and still overall enjoy playing GW2 very much so. However, I am a bit disappointed in the lack of structure the game has. Especially since GW1 was so organized.

PvP is a mess.

1. Classes are unbalanced. I do understand that balancing classes perfectly is impossible. But honestly, it can be improved in GW2. Perhaps add in more skills to the game to increase variety.

2. It is clear the PvP team has no idea what they are doing. (I do not care if this is considered offensive, it is blatantly obvious.) . There is only one game mode. Tournaments have also changed numerous times.

3. Reward System. There used to be Free and Paid tournaments and there no longer are, yet the tokens are still used. (This has to be extremely confusing to a new player). I also have no idea how to get many rewards that are added in.

Overall, I love this game. Its just a bit of a mess in terms of PvP.

You’ll just have to wait, or check occasionally if your server has taken some undiscovered vistas and what not in enemy territory.

I had to do the same thing.

The item is either a drop or you had a character who was a year old and you got a birthday chest and opened it.

Long time warrior player.

I remember when the game came out, warriors were considered “OP” often. Now, its the complete opposite. There is no source of raw damage. Even with Greatsword. You have to hit everything perfectly and it still even then is hard to put out good damage.

I’ve stopped with the GS.

I would think a “warrior” would have one of the raw best damage outputs.

I love warrior and just hope some changes will come soon.

My opinion is that the raw damage isn’t there anymore.

You would think a “warrior” would do good raw damage(Not happening).

I’ve had to resort to Sword/ Sword from greatsword because it was very hard to do good damage with it, due to technicality and sequence.

I used to disagree with Warriors being “lower tier” after recent patches. But I’m starting to feel it more and more. I’m still able to take people and win 1v1s often, but I am a long time warrior player.

I dont know, the raw damage output just isnt there anymore. Its VERY hard to achieve it. Which is why I’ve resorted to Sword/ Sword.

Frenzy lowered how fast you can do damage, damage seems to be harder to produce you’re right.

A bit picky are we?

If you’re looking for a perfect game, you’re never going to find it.

There are plenty of things to do with friends. WvW, PvP, Dungeons, Leveling( if you both choose the same story, and you can help each other anyway) Fractals, JPs, etc.

If you dont feel you have enough skins leveling, that should be more motivation for you to level to 80.

I see people always say “spam 2 more” to thieves, and Im a warrior. No one ever says anything to me however.

I love every aspect of this game from PvE, to WvW, to environments buttttt not PvP. I think it started off good, but it seems no ones mind is made up on what there going to do with PvP. Things keep changing (Some without notice), theres no order, or variety. I have total trust that this will be turned around however. It needs to be. To many players.

I am considering leveling a profession to 400 soon. Because I want to earn extra gold. I’m not real familiar with crafting in GW2, are professions real profitable? If so, which ones? What are costs and etc for these? Thanks!!

This seems to be an issue for many weapons and armor.

I think many weapons and armors can only be obtained through chests.

I think it depends on class.

Ill agree that ele elites are kinda cruddy.

Signet of Rage for warriors is great.

Same with timewarp for mesmers.

My first character post-beta was a warrior and is still my main to this day. Over 300 hours played on him. I NEVER get tired of it. The versatility and weapon options keep me playing. What about you?

I play Warrior because when the game came out I wanted to be able to use the most weapons etc.

I personally think structure and order are one of the most important things in games.

I’m not here to talk about classes being unbalanced etc. I’m talking about “what is going on???” in terms of tournaments and tokens, and all together. It seems I’m being thrown stuff where I’m not given much insight (like skins and how to get them). It was ordered when released, but if I were a new player I would be confused to no end, especially when it comes to Free and Paid tokens.

I look back at GW1 pvp, and it was simply amazing.
Huge tournaments, guild battles, etc. HUGE prizes.
Even casual play with arenas.

It just seems to me the PvP side of this game is not cared for.
Your thoughts?

By fun do you mean 18 new mouses?

Where the Ritualist at? :P

Engineer is basically the modern rit.

Star Ace.5207:

The Guardian is specified in the lore as being a modernization of Paragon/Monk traditions. “Save yourselves!” was one of the Paragon’s most useful shouts back then. I loved the class, regardless what ANet or the playerbase thought of it, and miss my Paragon dearly. Having played a lot both Monk and Paragon Professions back then, I enjoy how the Guardian turned out to be (it’s not a Paladin-like class, not by a longshot, though many still think so.)

To point out, “Save Yourselves” was a WARRIOR skill in GW1, it’s just that Paragons were better at using it.

Personally I’d like to see some sort of Heavy or Medium armor class that uses Halberds/Spears and the like. Some sort of Lancer class type thing. Lots of gap-closer/opener skills and the like.

Honestly I think the guy who is talking about new weapons is right.

I think we can expect to see new weapon types and races such as kodan, tengu, etc before we ever see new classes.

Ah I thought you were suggesting to make this happen in the game.

Not asking people to join you. lol

Honestly, thats not a very good idea. Maybe a 4 vs 4 like GW1.

Its already hard for 2 to burst a D/D ele. Imagine if that ele was paired with a healing guardian.

LumAnth.5124:

When I first put my guardian underwater with a spear, I was expecting some stab n jabs. But I was surprised they were throwing the spears instead. I instantly thought to myself that, “OMG paragon!!!!” moment.

I didn’t even know that! lol

g e o.2589:

Paragon is never going to come back. We already have a paragon its called Guardian. If you look through PvP titles you’ll see that there is an achievement master Paragon for playing tournaments with guardian.

R.I.P Paragon <3333

I actually enjoyed mine. Despite some of the armor. lol

Lionarth.1367:

As much as id love to see dervish make it back into the game i doubt its coming back. They were afterall worshippers and avatars of human gods which makes them not make sense for the other races and i dont see how charr sylvari and asura could take the form of anything since they dont really have anything they could avatar as.

Keep in mind, Avatars don’t have to be part of it. All of the classes from GW1 have some major differences in GW2.

Adine.2184:

From the guardian page on the wiki
“With the turmoil in Elona and the spread of the Order of Whispers into other lands, more Paragon teaching showed elsewhere in Tyria. These teachings melded with other traditions, and over time, the guardians and their abilities can be found throughout the world and among all the races”

In other words the paragon aint coming back .

Yeah I’m leaning Derv now. There is really no hint of derv in game, especially since they wield a scythe.

Aiden.6209:

I would love to see a 3rd heavy class of any kind. Paragon seems cool (The title you get for winning matches in spvp on a guardian is paragon, so another reason to doubt?). Obviously they would have to make a lot of reconstructing but i can definitely see another heavy armour class coming a long soon enough along with another race, just what it will be is a mystery, as i can’t think of anything that would have much of a different play-style to warrior or guardian, as they cover a lot of bases in the combat department, but it will be interesting to see what comes along.

You know, I just had a revelation. The more I think about the more I see Derv making a comeback. Either added as a medium or they make them heavy armors. They were hugely popular and make some sense too.

EDIT: Paragon “play-style” is not similar to warrior at all. I’m not sure it would be even in GW2 either. The utility skills are very similar to warriors however.

For those unfamiliar, Paragon was a GW1 heavy armor spear throwing class.

Let me give reasons why I think Paragon is almost predictable.
1. There are 2 heavy armor,3 medium armor and 3 light armor classes. Paragon would add to the heavy armor giving 3 classes.
2. In GW1, expansions were released with 2 classes each. I feel as if they would implement a new class and bring back a GW1 one.
3. Paragon is unique. As many people weren’t fond of them in GW1. It was weird to be a plated warrior throwing spears.

However, I’m also doubtful for some reasons.
1. Spears are already aquatic weapons. I cant see there being land and aquatic spears unless they make them work both ways. So if you equip a spear it will work on land and underwater.
2. Paragons are warrior like. Paragons have shouts, chants, etc. I feel this would be too warrior like. Unless they did some reconstructing overall.

What do you think we could see in the future??

I think there are plenty of viable builds for each class. The problem is people either don’t experiment or there is 1-2 that make the other viable builds look bad. Trust me this happens in all games. It very hard to create several viable builds without 1 or 2 being that much more viable.

I see what you mean. I dont mind people taking it very seriously, as I tend to take it seriously to in some aspects. However I hate hearing “U hav n0 competitive play presence, n00b.” As if all decent players have to have QP or whatnot.

Go with more power/precision. Runes make up quite a bit of your build. Warriors are naturally tanky anyway.

Got it. Didnt fully explore CoS. Thanks

Just visited everything zone and nothing, guess all thats left is CoS?

Yes, when I mouse over all zones i seem to have all pois. Im wondering if with the patch even more recently(a few days ago) something was added.?

Hi all, ging for map complete, were any POI’s added recently? It seems i have all wvw and all maps completed. Thanks!!!

Yawn, yes its absolutely terrible.

lol, someone having a bad day and taking it out on someone else?

When did I state it was for tournaments? Is it the best build out there? Guaranteed not.

Its for reference.

[/quote] I don’t mean to belittle your build or anything but you just showed us footage of you in hotjoins winning matches that you either joined late and your team already had in the bag or you greatly outnumbered your opponent(s) anyway.

In ever single one of the instances your video showed the warriors specific build would have zero impact over any other build at all.

That being said if you show me footage of you in a LEGIT tourney match winning in 1v1s and/or making an impact in 2v2s up to 5v5s then I’ll gladly say you;ve got a good build, otherwise I remain highly skeptical.[/quote]

I know about the mistake on the footage( beginner mistake). Ive been using the build for several months, (updated it due to patches) I dare say its one of the best 1v1 builds for warriors. And very well at surviving multiple enemies. Read the comments… people who have actually used the exact build. After all, its a burst/tank build. Have a good day.

Check out my warrior pvp build….3.5k views, good feedback! works well!

Good luck!
