Guild Wars 2

Roll a Revenant, as i don’t have enough hero points for any of my characters (excluding Guard, but Dragonhunter is really bad) and play that while farming PvE.

That’s why Rangers get HoA, which heals for nearly the same while being a shout and granting a lot of boons :>

Reaper is actually pretty fast and able to easily cripple/chill other people, too.

Unblockable shouldn’t be a thing to begin with, except for a few select skills. Imagine being a guardian and you basically can’t pick your best heal because everyone has a way to interrupt it, causing full cd.

Since SM lies central, 2 minutes should be long enough to go nearly everyhwere.

Also you will have dozens of ganking groups running around perma stealthed oneshotting everyone who dares to exit their spawn alone.

I’m not playing much on EB, anyway, but seems like i just will pretend that map doesn’t exist once HoT hits.

It’s not like the PU nerf changed anything, really… I’d rather see the last 0.5 extra second on Decoy/Presitige removed (that is, reverted to its old state) and buff the boons it gives in exchange (remove might, increase duration).

Didn’t really play chrono that much, since i’m too lazy to gear for WvW and our PvP training arena was kinda empty this weekend.

but seeing as how other professions seem to have a 4 second recharge half-way-across-the-world leap, I think it’s ok.

Heh http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ancestral_Grace

Exactly that’s why it got removed. The old UA was a 100% way to deny a stomp/res or decap a capture point. Also the random nature could get pretty disorienting and overall wasn’t fun.

To be fair, dodging (especially double-dodging) should never be an argument, since you can say that about pretty much every damaging skill in the game.

I just think Infuse Light (Glint heal) needs a cast time or at least a very obvious effect on the Revenant. The sheer number of icons (facets + F2 boon burst) make it hard to see when compared to warrior’s stance.

They usually don’t win much, so you should allow them their feeling of achieving something from time to time.

I still think Chrono would be very strong without it, but then the other Specializations have their own op stuff, so eh…i don’t really care, now.

Just give DH an F4 with 25% movement speed passive, active i don’t really care. Chrono basically got the same thing as a minor trait.

I’m not sure if you can actually call it a nerf if the specialization in question isn’t even out, yet ^^

Druid :> Gives you a healer for PvE, a really good roamer for WvW and probably something for PvP, too. I will at least try it (not this weekend, though, i already have to play Chrono, Rev and DH).

Just, fyi: The name “Ranger” doesn’t have anything to do with fighting at range.

Staff isn’t a condi weapon, but hybrid/utility, though. That’s why it stacks might and vulnerability (even before the latter one affected condi dmg) and its phantasm scales with power.

Also, condi mesmer feels much more boring than zerker, but that might just be me.

That’s why you wait for druid that brings an unreflectable autoattack and what is basically Mirror Blade at 1200 range, but spread over 5s. Ah, and enough heals to make you forget about your actual Heal skill.

Just wait until Druid hits and solves all your heal/condi issues, so you don’t have to care about spamming Guard/HoA on cd.

Druids will be amazing roamers, probably going as far as to replacing D/D eles.

I’m not ingame currently, but Wizzö apparently gets permanent Swiftness, Reg, Protection, Fury, 20 might, …basically by spamming Guard and HoA and just doing his normal rotations.

Especially on mesmer this is pretty easy, since sometimes the lord bugs out when you go in stealth and the clone he is targeting dies. This causes the AI to freeze and not do anything until he dies.

LB/GS

It’s fine. Except against thieves, other PU mesmers or zergs i rarely stay in stealth for the full duration, anyway. Sadly they didn’t increase the boons in exchange to compensate for the 30% duration we lost with the trait revamp.

Don’t waste all your condis at once, let clones do this and wait for the power guy to waste his cleanses. Since he can only use one out of Blink/Decoy/MoD, his bursts are easier to mitigate.

The thing that should be removed is hardressing dead players while in combat.

Use your aoes and remove it yourself.

In equal fights, this is fine and works, but when fighting against a bigger group this makes it harder for the small group to win.

Depending on how the elite works, you could passively kill a lot of friendly thieves/mesmers with this.

The thing that should be removed is hardressing dead players while in combat.

I just want Sigil of Cleansing…

The phantasm is already quite strong, especially when you put a field on it. Also tracks through stealth.

Piercing on Magic Bullet, on the other hand, wouldn’t make sense, since the skill already bounces.

You can’t balance something due to the bugs it has. A single chaos storm can completey reset Pistol cds, the same for F3 when going into Illusions. Magic Bullet alone will halve its own cd when hitting and interrupting 2 people.

Remove Alacrity or change it in a way that doesn’t hold base Mesmer cd reduction down (Chaotic Dampening comes to mind).

That’s why i wrote “builds”, too. But i know, it must be hard to actually press buttons instead of just dodging to kill someone.

Yes, that’s what we do if we are not dueling. You ended the duel, so we continue roaming. Congratulations, you just caused your server to lose points

Not all classes/builds have a ranged auto and illusions need counterplay.

Blame the elitist meta only mesmers on the forums.

Actually, from my experience most people on this forum want to play some easy AI build and farm people with it.

Queue, what is that? Most of the time i’m actually outmanned.

Also, i’m going to interpret your “red is dead” as “i’m a small zergling in fear for those evil roamers that kill me while farming PvE mobs for my stack sigils. I better get 4 other people so i can jump on them after i rightfully got my kill”.

No, those traits were bad and encouraged mindless clone spam while hiding in stealth.

Then you certainly don’t mind us actually going after your objectives, because you just caused us to stop doing the thing preventing us from capping all your camps, killing your dolyaks and farming your zerglings

Also, BF has a 9.5s cooldown with the trait … which I know I take because BF is awesome.

No, you don’t, because Blinding Dissipation is a lot better.

Also, while doing your damage calculations remember that Blurred Frenzy can simply be walked away from unless you are rooted/stunned beforehand.

Sirbeaumerdier.3740:

But, just like players fighting off caps in pvp just because they can and they want, you will rightfully be remembered as a nuisance.

Several of you seemingly want others to respect your way of life but don’t give a crap about PPTers way of life… you shoot yourself in the foot big time when you do this.

Funny enough, even with my mindset i’m still multiple times more helpful to the server than zergling #43, think about it.

So no, i’m not a nuisance. I know how to play the game, i take camps, sentries, kill dolyaks and cut down both enemy supply and manpower simply by running around doing my stuff instead of mindlessly gravitating towards a colored symbol on the map and spamming 1 on a staff guard, rallying enemies.

If your keep is being attacked you should have other problems than the few duelers outside that are not attacking said keep.

Also “defense info”, don’t make me laugh. Most of us don’t give a kitten about your keep and it’s not like siege can’t be cleared, anyway.

That skill has hit me for about 15k once (all hits combined), but that was my fault for not dodging the 3rd pulse. If has crazy damage potential in exchange for an obvious animation.

2s cd seems indeed too short as it can basically be used on autoattacks, so it could need an increase in cd/energy cost, though.

No need to prove anything. People duel for good fights and to have fun. Karmatraining some doors might be fun for some people, but not for everyone.

All I say is Server > Individual in that game mode.

Actually, no. Roamers and especially duelers play for the fights, not for points or their server. A lot of them (me included) already switched servers a few time, so server pride has been thrown out of the window quite some time ago and has been replaced by pride for your guild and individual other guys you like fighting with.

Those people i know can hold a 1v1 and would rather do it than having me interrupt and ruin a potentially good fight.

I’m fine with Rapid Fire hitting me in stealth. I dislike the 2-3 Long Range Shots queued up during RF that will still hit me, though.

Well, yeah, duels should happen in empty areas, when possible. A lot of the time when roaming and meeting a good player, i won’t stomp after the fight. I’m not mad when somebody else does this and will usually wait for the other guy to respawn or even get whispered and have a nice chat.

I wonder, if a guard places a Line or Ring of Warding and moves through it, will UA get interrupted?

“When it expires, you will revert back to this point with your previous health, endurance and skill recharges.”

Boons, conditions, guard stacks, mantra charges, … are neither of those.

If he wants help he could, for example, kite into you. A dueler won’t do this since he tries to stay away from other people as much as possible.

Except he did loose his stacks (guard or otherwise)

Guard stacks are going to be removed, soon and sigil stacks – who cares. If you really want them, go fight some PvE mobs at spawn. Duelers rarely use them since those sigils would be useless in OS, anyway.

Not even talking about possibly loosing an objective because you decided to let things happen…

Ehh…okay. By now you must have realized, that winning or losing a matchup doesn’t matter at all. PPT has been cool for the first few months after release, but by now it’s meaningless except for maybe during WvW seasons.

Ha ha, not interested in duelling, that’s what PvP is for.

Personally, i don’ mind going there but some people prefer the higher build customization WvW offers and the sheer feeling of having a crowd of people around watching you instead of invisible Spectators.

Once HoT hits a lot of Duelers and Guilds might abandon WvW and go to guild arenas, instead.
