Guild Wars 2

WvW has only a couple benefits to it: Karma, Experience, And badges. Karma is easily farmed in Orr, Experience is well… Experience, and badges can’t get you anything worth using. Why are there badges in this game? The only reason I would want to use my badges is for the legendary component. I think WvW should be a lot more rewarding than it is right now in it’s current state. These two things should be fixed:

1. Gear obtained from badges will have a more PvP aspect to it. Making it very effective in PvP, but not PvE. I.E. Choose whichever stats they have upon buying and giving them a little bit more resistance against players.

2. Upon every X amount of player kills, you will obtain an additional trait point to spend in (or something useful for that matter, something that will provide more strength in combat) this would make WvW something goal catching worth, rather than going out and taking bases 24/7 which can be very boring if done too long.

This game obviously needs more end game content, I think that some changes to WvW making it more interesting and worth doing would fix some things.

I miss the old DAoC Realm Rank system, it seems like GW2 implemented all the general ideas without the key ideas to this game.

Thoughts?

Confusion uses a different formula in sPvP then it does in PvE and yeah, in both cases it is a function of Condition Damage. It activates each skill use, so dot/aoe’s are the best counter for confusion if you cannot purge them fast enough.

They are a challenging class to fight, but their godmode is diminishing due to both skill adjustments and rising knowledge on how to deal with them.

It’s sad that they did something about confusion in SPvP but not WvW, Why wont they just change confusion in WvW? Because all I do is WvW

What, really? Because the game I’m playing (PvE), confusion isn’t worth the investment tbh. Too strong? Hardly.

Another example of the benefits of splitting PvE/PvP, ArenaNet.

Its not meant for pve but WvW

I feel that confusion is too strong in this game at this current time. I think the % returned needs to be drastically reduced. This involves the Mesmer… and here are my reasons.

1. Mesmers can build around confusion having 3-9 stacks of confusion on target opponent at all times.

2. Mesmers can sacrifice all dps output to put in tank stats to make them live for a very long time. All they need to do is stack confusion and let the enemy work on themselves.

3. It is impossible to attack a Mesmer that builds around confusion. They are able to have a constant 3-9 stacks which averages around 4-5 normally. That being said.. Having 21k hp and toughness is hard to break through with confusion on yourself.

These are major reasons why the confusion build for Mesmers needs to be nerfed. I think that confusion is way to strong at this current time. Not many people know of this build but if you are familiar with some Mesmers that do this build, and do it to its greatest, know that this is too strong to be in this game. (For people that don’t know about this build, it is easy to solo 3-4 exotic geared people at one time) No class should be able to do this.

If you need some hard evidence there is a streamer on twitch that runs this build exactly. I will not promote him on these forums but if you look for him trust me you will find him.

If you agree please post accordingly, and if you do not, please post your reasons why.

(this is fixed in SPvP but not WvW)
