Guild Wars 2

entropy.9613:

Bumped for relevance to life in general.

reposted 4 emphasis

Feels really good to see Mesmers getting the kit refinement treatment. (Not as bad – i guess mesmers got lucky)

gets popcorn for all the qq

no condition cleanse – heavily affected by poison – long cd – NEVER!

no idea what the devs were thinking … seriously

Stalima.5490:

hey maybe we should bring that LoL joke here…

warriors op?
better nerf nade kit

true story

TheBlackLeech.9360:

Autobalance rarely kicks in before a huge impact has been made on the score…. and often times a player will get autobalanced off of a team only to create a deficit on that team, since players are constantly joining.

Hotjoin is srs bsns

condition – main
toughness + vit – secondairy

also condition duration would be great to have as a third stat like crit dmg for serker

nice warrior buff Anet gg

soooo

Mesmer is getting their precious vigor nerfed qq

seems in line with all the other vigor nerfs and its not even that big.

More kit refinement style nerfs and more passives inc this patch.

the best thing about this is that other classes who have weapon swap have similarly strong immobilizes (like nec pet lmao) (not even going to mention sword / LB war with the immob utility – stack 12 s immob yolo every 25s max)

Happy they didnt nerf HT though thats the last straw keeping kitten together

Zelu.1692:

Many Dungeon paths in GW2 seem to be on the “low mechanics” side of things and are favored by farmers and PUGs. There are very little mechanics and content can be handled fast for easy rewards. It made the META evolve towards an all-out DPS race.

Why Gw2 PvE is lame in a nutshell

Chaith.8256:

It is definitely the hardest 1v1 counter that exists in the game, at equal skill levels. That’s for sure.

…..

Because the Necro (will pick you over the Warrior/Thief, and he) will blow you up, and you can’t do a thing – so just stay away from it unless you’re REALLY at a numbers advantage.

nuff said really…

AR doesnt cut it – i barely have enough traitpoints to be viable as dps against all the condition cleanse (especially in teamfights) already..

the fact that someone suggests i should get a grandmaster trait which is only really useful when combined with at least a block (actually even with block you might die anyway) or preferably elixir C (because otherwise a decent necro will just spike you down ) And which is only really required for this ONE situation where i have to 1v1 a necro and no one else is there. In teamfights its extremely easy for a power dps to kill a condi engi at 25% hp anyway.

^and i should get all that to counter this 1 class on this 1 occasion – really shows how bad the counter actually is when people are this desperate and pick traits this bad (i.e. you really dont need it against anyone else)

Favoring the necromancer. Proof at the bottom of post.

(I’m top 50 engi on my main acc pm me for name if u care enough)

Necro reflects all my damage + has damaging hard CC + has a bigger hp pool + full condition cleanse that heals for number of conditions cleansed.

Add in the worst overall condition cleanse in the game on engineer (maaaaybe tied with mesmer but at least mesm gets a full cleanse with lyssa). And having to choose between viability(i.e. 2 kit)/some bad additional condi cleanse/stunbreaker doesnt make it any better.

Even in teamfights the necro is able to intentionally facetank condi aoe to reflect (especially burn from war/eng) – focusing the necro actually makes it somewhat harder on your team. Also in teamfight you can still get chainfeared to death very easily because even if you got a stunbreaker it has average 40 sek cd and youre definitely not bringing 2.

The matchup is so bad for condi engi that it makes the entire thing unviable because no team wants to play with a class that has such an insane hardcounter. Add in the fact that power engi has never been legit viable since it was nerfed through the ground in the early months after release and that leaves us with which build? ok nobody mention it – it makes me sad.

Proof:

Teldo losing to and whining about necromancer in soloq.

Lupanic.6502:

Is a build for Engineer existing to beat a MM necro

MM power/defence necro is an easy kill for Bomb/Nade imo – just kite the minions through the aoe.

If the minion necro just gets his minions on top of his full condition equipment its a different story though.

ohh my god

dem fanboys

best class for kite-ing in the game

my top 3 worst nightmares – i always run instantly and call for help when i see one of these

1.Condi necro
2.Condition necro
3.Condition necromancer

i think op should go to writing school or something – so poetic

sticky please – its like a funny beginners guide to the game

Gorni.1764:

there are many tactical fails in PvP ^^

favorite thing to be read at the beginning of a match is “PUSHING FAR!!1 ALONE! DON’T HELP!!!111”

pushing far with a single tanky spec like war is totally legit as long as you can deny a fullcap and can disengage(or know when not to engage) and not die 1v3 like an idiot

Writetyper.1985:

I am sick to death of people levering an advantage which could potentially tip the match in their favour by destroying key objectives (Treb on khylo, doors on foefire) before the match has begun. These side objectives are often powerful enough to decide the game so it’s only fair that every effort be made to prevent people from abusing them.

1) Simply close the doors until the game actually starts, there’s no need to be out there at all.

Very good suggestion + simple fix

/bump for red post

no game without players

dont expect people to instantly be as good as everyone who played since release/beta

As much as i disagree with hard counter balancing they definitely found a way to bring in a pretty big number of players which is pretty cool.

there is no counterplay to stealth CC (pull or knockback)

stealth CC always wins

stealth is the issue imo – just like 4 man stealth to pop 1 enemy at the start of the game

no counterplay/skill involved

Laserbolt.6731:

Logging in late does what then?… other than keeping everyone’s MMR the same…as opposed to lowering it for everyone on the 4 team who did nothing wrong.

You could always quit when you dont like the matchup. So yea ez exploit.

i carried my 4v5 to victory (with some help of the thief on my team but the other 2 barely found their way out of the spawn zone at the start)

why didnt u?

Caiotamietti.5749:

Structured Player vs. Player

• Shards of Legend now drop from Rank Reward Chests, Match Win Reward Chests and Daily PvP Reward Chests.
• Shard collectors have been added to the Heart of the Mist near the glory vendors. These vendors accept Shards of Legend for legendary PvP weapons and other rare items.
• The glory awarded for completion of a match has been slightly increased to better reflect the time each match takes to complete.
• The price of Rank Reward Chests has been slightly decreased.

GJ Anet, farm for legendary in spvp, aweeeesooome.

How about having a use for my 750K glory?

In a teamfight when they focus you. It melts my phace with perma CC and burst + chill and poison. It`s worse than being healer vs RMP.

You cant lock down either thief or warrior and when you focus necro he just condiflips on you . When you focus the thief he disengages and both the necro and the warrior have a big hp pool.

Actually just thief + nec is hard.

What do?

awesome kitten

fix grenade explosion animations – you can not see a thing when spamming grenades in 1v1 – its actually gets better with more ppl when aoe effect tone down starts kicking in but in small scale fights its very very bad

FKwrong.9104:

what’s esport? sounds like an excuse for fat people, lol.

lol @ people saying MMR volatile xD

Starcraft is legit – restore his kitten pls
