Runes are not, as apparent by the design of every other rune in the game, supposed to be the main source of damage for a build. Look at Runes of the Grove. A 180 sec cooldown on a root! It comes across as completely useless in comparison to these runes.
Combine this with how much stronger +condition duration food is and how easy it is to bunker up while still dealing very good condition damage and something is severely wrong.
This new bunker condition meta is incredibly boring. I understand that Arena Net wants to wait until after PAX to make any changes, but I fail to see why they wouldn’t nerf these since they won’t have any effect on the tournament. I can only conclude that Arena Net somehow thinks this runeset is fine, which is a kitten shame in my opinion.

Ironic that mesmers have very limited condition clear and stability. I am sure it is a L2P issue <3
I suppose it is time to nerf confusion again. 50% across the board wasn’t enough anet. Time to go half again!
If you think Out of Attunement needs to l2p, you are definitely mistaken… confusion is very strong right now, especially considering how easy it is to massively stack a person up.
I know Out of Attunement and you also convenant. What he is stating in the OP is not true though Confusion spam with glamour mesmers you could kill alot of people with a few mesmers. Now with these runes?
You can kill 1 person if your a engi and get a good interrupt a few more. Its not spam, in small 5v5 and small man roaming it is strong but when you get larger numbers or zergy battles this rune hardly matters. Before it didnt matter how many people you had because feedback, nullfield, portal, veil ignored the 5 person limit so you could stack good amounts of confusion (with its old damage) and it was enough to kill alot of people.
If it doesn’t matter in zerg warfare but completely destroys small group combat why on earth wouldn’t you change it?

“The new”Confusion spam only kills NOOBS that don’t know to equip stability/bring condi cleanse/dodge since it only activates on interrupts.So yeah,faceroll keyboard spam more skills to get chain interrupted.
Or …. maybe play smarter ?
I’m so sick and tired of this garbage excuse.
“Your strategy only works against NOOBS that don’t know how to equip boon strip / immobilize / cover conditions.”
Theoretically there is a counter for everything in this game. Realistically they are not going to be readily available 24/7. However, people like you seem to convieniently leave that out in your scientific explanations.
“BUT JUST DONT DO ANYTHING FOR 5 SEC LOL CONDI RUDATION SO LO” Yeah, while you’re taking 2k damage / sec from other conditions?

Another fun night of fights in the BP BL last night. I want to thank both the enemy and our fellow Borlis Pass friends for making this a memorable night. Here are a few highlights from ZERG’s run last night.
Don’t know why but the GF guys LOVE to focus me, you would think they love me or something ;-} Anyway, GF’s strategy seems to be a very very very very good one since it seems to be working really well for GF (watch from time 4:44 to 6:50) Plus watch the mesmer ignore everyone else to attack me, now that is DEDICATION to the cause!!!!! (time 6:00 to 6:20)
P.S. Highlight of the film is at 4:52 where I get punted off the cliff, NICE PUNT!!!!! I was laughing my rear end off on that one ;-}
A special thanks to my fellow team mates of which without them this would not have been possible.

EV is looking for 2v2’s and 3v3’s to improve our game, and hopefully yours too. PM me either here or in-game and we can set something up. From all of us in EV I wish both BP and SoS luck this week.
Sincerely,

In reality, I hope RE goes to a lower ranked server so we can see some new servers make it up to the higher tiers. Joining an already stacked server just makes the game uninteresting. This patch was badly needed just so we could get some new faces. Having servers gain a guild that isn’t a “WvW server” makes things more interesting for everyone.
Yes, having a bandwagon guild join a lower tiered server so that they can inflate their rating and then leave them hanging in a tier they don’t belong in when they bandwagon off again in a couple of months is a stellar way to go about things.
Please Rethesis, don’t even consider any low tier servers. Stay in an upper tier where bandwagoning doesn’t screw with an entire server once you need to go get your fix somewhere else.
Good luck wherever you go (hopefully T1 or T2).

Oh well, at least I will be able to focus on my exams now that I know this patch didn’t bring anything special.
Also I am extremely worried that (like the above poster mentioned) Masterwork armor will be in half of those boxes.
I’m not that bummed about the Ascended gear though. Ascended gear was supposed to be a slow climb since Arena Net completely went back on their word by implementing them in the first place.

Its not a thief post, its a general everyone does way too much damage post. Crit Dmg should have been capped at like 80% or something.
Ascended armor is just giving people more and more dmg…. its silly and is just going to slowly get worse unless they redo everything for an exp pack and rebalance things
Im built tanky, and can still just murder people with 6k crits…. soooo ya
This. You don’t need berserker stuff to deal high damage.
Shadow Arts for example, a purely “defensive” trait line lets you maintain 10-12 stacks of Might by yourself. That is 350+ power, equal to putting 30 points into Dagger Mastery, a purely offensive trait line.
Some gear compositions and trait lines are broken in this game. I just hope Arena Net realizes and fixes them.

So, I was told about this “zerging” thing. Rolled through EB last night, got a bunch of kills. This is how you zerg my friends.
Watch out, DDLG stepped it up a bit.
Quote of the night: “1 on the way in, F on the way out”
If you’re on DR and this style of fighting appeals to you, whisper me about more information on joining DDLG!
Credits to Bluevalle for the video.
I got to 7 minutes and thought that is odd, I don’t think I have seen them fight anyone who wasn’t already fighting someone else. They also don’t really seem to be doing anything.
I mean I’m sure you had some sort of plan or goal for the night that wasn’t just sneak up on people fighting someone else?
Killing people is fun
Having fun is why we play the game.
You don’t need a goal or a plan above that.

“During this time DR’s population didn’t change one bit”, are you working @Anet to make such asumptions? Seems my logic is flawed obviously when there are tons of other bad examples.
It might seem like a shock to you but down in these tiers everyone is not just another nameless zergling, we don’t queue multiple borderlands every night and we certainly know what guilds join and leave.
So it’s not an assumption, it’s a statement I make based on having played on DR extensively and knowing every face and every guild.

“1) The current ratings of servers are valid. They are not because we are not getting enough varied match-ups to even generate valid data. Trying to judge the quality of a server based on their current rating is much like judging the quality of people’s Reddit posts by the average # of up-votes they get.”
This is the game design you made for WvW, the only way to judge a server ranking is their coverage. I’m glad you realise it is bad.
Thing is, a Tier2 server won’t compete against a Tier1 one, same for all tiers. You know who could beat upper tier servers? The winner of previous one, which make winner goes up, loser down still a better option than this.
The new rating system you’re attempting could work on one or two days matchup, when coverage is less effective.
Why do you say this?
Tier 5:
EB: 197 811 DR: 176 325
BP: 231 646
Pretty even.
Tier 7:
GoM: 237 621 DR: 173 032
NSP: 161 667
Also even.
During this time DR’s population didn’t change one bit. But according to your logic, DR should first of all have stomped T6, and then never made it down to T7. Your logic is flawed. As much as I don’t like agreeing with a developer on WvW changes I have to agree with Jon Peters here. We don’t know what this patch will bring before it comes.

Noone likes to debate anymore. That’s probably why we’re all so ignorant. I’ll miss you, 1990’s era forums and IRC chat. :|
You are not debating. You are purposefully utilizing straw men and other logical fallacies to misrepresent my opinion and to avoid having to debate the actual subject.
…do know that I wasn’t ‘baiting’ you into anything. There’s no data to suggest that any other profession has a higher burst than thief or anything better than equal mobility (warriors and elementalists can be annoying in that department, too).
Oh look, here is one!
I never claimed that there was any such data. I actually reinforced this data, but with the clause that both the burst and the mobility depended on stealth, and that thieves have less favorable traits that make up for these two favorable ones.
Yet you choose to misrepresent my opinion by saying exactly what you did in the above quote in an attempt to lead me around in circles. I simply said I chose to not take the obvious bait, and walk around in that circle.
Have a good day.

That’s not quite correct. A pug is a pick up group. I.e. a group of less organized players.
So if some members from guild Y picked up some dudes from guild X and their best friend from guild Z, that would indeed be a PUG. However, if these dudes then frequently starts running together, they would no longer be a PUG.
Turns out the term comes from WoW, no surprises there.
Its not perfectly correct but in the context of WvW and GW2 I’d say its close enough to on the mark and I’ve seen it used plenty of times to simply describe a bad.
I think its safe to say the meaning of this word has changed to suit WvW.
The term predates WoW by almost a decade and dates back at least until the beginning of EQ and the simple inference that people who don’t know each other would demonstrate less teamwork than those who are together often is a no brainer. Doesn’t mean they’re bad players at all, just less coordinated.
Don’t pugs date back to the Shang Dynasty. I read about it on the Internets so it has to be true… or am I missing something here?
You are quite clearly missing the fact that PUG is an abbreviation in this context, not a word.

This would nerf the damage and mobility of a thief
This is the bold claim (to explain: I never ‘made a claim.’ I proposed an idea and you ‘made a claim’ in response).
Commence the enlightenment.
…and do remember that certain traits can be adjusted such that they are not dependent on the duration of stealth.
…oh, and also remember that — with or without stealth — thief has both the highest burst and the fastest attack speed (with daggers) which affects certain sigils in a pretty fun way.
I am very interested in what you’ll have to say as I’m 100% confident that I can play thief well without stealth. I always have.
You made a claim that thieves have the highest burst and the highest mobility on top of stealth, seemingly without realizing that they are both dependent on the latter. Thus your claim that we “can have the burst and the mobility, just not the stealth”, is not valid. If you are running another build that doesn’t rely on stealth, fine (I know people who do so too), but why would you want to pigeon hole every thief into running a much smaller array of builds?
It’s also funny that you should make claims about thief burst being the highest, and use it to argue in favor of a thief nerf. I can also make claims. For example: Thieves are the squishiest profession. Therefore they need a buff.
However, I don’t pass judgement on professions based on one aspect of them, so I will refrain from making such statements. Maybe you should too.

I do play (level 80) and understand (in SPvP, Wv3 and PvE) thief… but, please, enlighten me.
How about you enlighten me since you make such bold claims? What you are proposing is that stealth should be very limited, be easily removable, or suffer from harsh diminishing returns.
How would this NOT nerf the damage and mobility of a thief?
Eon Ruby – Thief | Casaedrea – Elementalist
Die unendlichen Weiten, das Unbekannte; das Wilde.
Ehmry Bay.
So basically you want to completely kill thieves as a viable profession anywhere?
So basically you couldn’t be a viable profession if stealth were removable? Welcome to every other profession. You already have the highest burst and mobility. What exactly would be so harsh about limiting the availability of stealth?
If you nerf stealth you also nerf damage and mobility. Do you not understand this? If so you haven’t played a thief, and your opinion is largely invalid.

I only see a lot of people that don’t know thief mechanics get trolled by 1 good s/d thief here. However, I do agree chaining cnd is imbalanced in wvw. IMO you should get revealed debuff 1.5s at the end of a stealth, even if you have not attacked anything(normal 3s, if you attack).
That’s the main issue in bold.
Thief and mesmer punish players that don’t understand those classes the most out of any other class.
“l2p” is not the issue. I play both a mesmer and a thief (mesmer is my ‘main’ since GW1) and I understand both professions very well. This is the only reason I can survive against a thief.
This does not address the problem of thief’s capability to reset a fight at will, which is especially maddening in Wv3 where position on the map matters most.
You can have your mobility, thieves. Stealth is the problem. Stealth should either be 1) removable via boon stripping skills, 2) limited-availability, or 3) severely punished by core game mechanics for repeated use… kind of like how being downed and rallied several times in a row reduces your downed health to virtually nothing.
So basically you want to completely kill thieves as a viable profession anywhere?

I’m surprised no one from AR or BP posted a screen shot. You guys did a good job double teaming us in our bl. Of course AR forgot about their own bl. But hey, who cares about home when you can attack the number one server in the match up…
I think you are confusing forgot and don’t have the people. ARBL was running outmanned until AR forces moved off EBay BL. You don’t seem to understand, so I will explain. We can queue up one map on reset night, it was EBay BL last night. On rare occasions AR can queue up a BL and Eternal on a reset night. Of the three servers in this matchup AR has the overall lowest WvW population and coverage. That’s just how it is on AR. The tier below AR had an edge in population and coverage and BP had the edge on AR. I’m curious as to how many maps EBay had a queue on last night(the standard answer is “we only had a queue on our BL, we swears it.”)
On reset night. I would like to see AR or BP come close to that, on any night.
If you ask me, this is kinda close.
GJ you can wipe a T7/8 server.
It was closeish, props to them for their first week in this tier with us.
Well yeah but more so because EB wasn’t really playing that week. BP still dominated DR, which to be honest isn’t a massive feat of strength. DR probably has the worst coverage out of any server bar the T8 ones, and Evilzara conveniently left out the server time in that screenshot.

I can 1v1 a thief… until the point where they are losing and begin to endlessly stealth. They then run away, return 12 seconds later with full health, and have effectively reset the fight at their convenience.
Unless they put a 15sec bleed on you (nope) I don’t see how that wouldn’t reset the fight for you too.
Unless you panic and mash all your cool downs as soon as you see a thief appear, I don’t see why you should have a problem with this. Cycle through them and stay moderately tanky and a thief should be no problem for you at all.

GoM is winning T7 by a large margin.
DR is strong during prime time, same as SF. SF definitely is stronger if they can wipe all maps on reset against DH and IoJ. Even if SF moves down I doubt DR can beat them.

I can solo flag guards. I can solo supply camps. I can solo a tower if player resistance doesn’t stop me.
Hello from ET – The other team in T8. I must admit, You have quite the build and skill there then if you can do this.
In my experiences so far with wvw, there is a good chunk of the players I know that can’t solo cap a camp much less a tower. Not to mention a the problems of trying to solo a fully upgraded version of either.
But as others have said. You are perhaps just a better player, and thus you will always suffer from the limitations of the other people that want to enjoy this game along with you.
It’s all about the build really. Pre confusion nerf I could solo upgraded camps in roughly two minutes by pulling everything together. I can still do it but I have to separate the scouts now.
I could never do the same on some of my other characters, due to limitations of the professions.
Anyway, it was quite awesome knowing that you could affect the match up by 10 points every tick.

guys! We were getting along so well, lets not start bickering ..we will end up catching a serious case of “Devona-ism”
There is no more teaming up from Dh and IoJ then there is from SF and IoJ…it all depends on the situation and what the people think they have to gain from it at any particular point in time.
Right now with what we have going on with darkhaven right now in regards to reset is whats stopping us from really being a powerhouse. Once we get our Resets in order i feel that if all else stays the same we could duke it out with Ebay for top of t5.
But back to reality. Our super weak resets are what makes this match fun and exciting. It seems to be the same tune no matter which guilds do or do not participate in the weeks matching. We get trounced on reset due to no one coming on, then by monday we are able to make up the deficit and take the lead..regardless of the margin.
So for now, lets be thankful that our servers have the lil quirks they do and allow us to enjoy a close battle!
and oh yeah…i was sitting out on wvw for two days …..So everyone better watch out when i come back! /flying Burrito!

It was an attempt to compromise your account via your email account. It was not a “hack”.
“Hacking” hasn’t occurred since Mathew Broderick’s character set the old analog phone in to the cradle and started dialing random phone numbers in search of a computer that would answer.
People toss the word “hacking” around too frequently these days without understanding its meaning/origin.
Accessing a game account or even an email account for that matter is the equivalent of Identity Theft or Social Engineering.
“Hacking” is blatantly accessing a single computer system or network directly in order to access the data or use the applications/services. So unless you are running WOPR to play GW2 or read your Gmail.. you weren’t hacked.
