Guild Wars 2

Anyone else figure out the author of the thread just by reading the title?

Looks amazing imo

@Defektive

I know you’re role in the team now is for body cleave, but just out of curiosity, have you tried LB/SS condi?

I thought you were against running GS/MaceShield. Especially against any good opponent.

Daecollo.9578:

I’m fine if Merciless Hammer gets:
Cause confusion for 5 seconds on critical hits, and hammer attacks have torment built into the autoattack and 4.

So you want hammer to be OP, there are already very good players with a hammer than can kill very effectively with it.

No, I want it to have a condition so the condition damage will work with it. Beating someone with a hammer should confuse them, so it makes sense.

I usually don’t like posts by Daecollo but this really made me lol.

I’m more annoyed that spirit rangers can use all their spirits as a meat shield.

Build link isn’t working for me. Was hoping to give this a try today ._.

Adept tier or baseline.

High uptime on poison and well time dodges/condi cleansing pretty much does it for us.

Amir.1570:

I find it funny that people are complaining about Skull Crack + HB with unsuspecting foe when that isn’t even the build that you would use if you were actually good with the class.

^

your drawings always brings a laugh to my day

Can this thread freakin’ die already?

It’s a sad joke.

Good luck to SYNC, CC don’t deserve to go to final with their despicable behavior.

I won’t watch the PAX final.

+1

CC should be also disqualified for the behaviour of some of their members the day after the finals.

Seems like I missed something here … what happened?

I’d like to know too

I run LB/SS in tPvP ._.

Anyone know when these are gonna be implemented in the Mists?

Either get yourself 6/6 Runes of Nightmare or 6/6 Runes of the Undead.

Oh, and you should consider using Sigil of Doom. An added condition (and one as useful as poison) is always good. Especially with the Fast Hands trait.

Warrior’s aren’t bad per say, but they still aren’t the best of shape at this time.

Skull Cracker build seems to be what everyone and their mothers are running now adays. While not a bad build, its not as OP as people are making it out to be.

I dunno, if you want to make a class that’s strong at the moment, consider Necromancer, Guardian or Engi.

Sami.7923:

Either one, the thief will kill the opponent, two, mess up and die to the opponent, or three, go invis, fully heal, and start the fight all over again until either 1 or 2 occurs.

Oh my, reminds me of WoW where Rogues would recuperate and run hahaha

As for the rest of the post, I have no problems with stealth whatsoever at this point. I don’t main a class that requires or has access to stealth, but I can safely say at this point, it’s not broken.
But that doesn’t mean I like Phantasm Mesmers any bit.

Oh hey Questionable Potato. I’ve ran into you a couple times in tPvP.

Congratulations on your feat!

Having minion necros and spirit rangers all over the place is a pain in the kitten .

vove.2768:

For tpvp/spvp? Any condition build is bad.

This guy is pretty funny

Velron.3729:

HatSimulator.9362:

Now that (almost) every warrior is using this build, and the fact that warriors are the most played class, I and many other people on the forums in different professions have had to make builds just to find how to counter all these stuns.
I’m not saying stunlock, unlimited healing warriors are OP but when every single class has to change traits and runes just to counter one class, it becomes OP.
(not replying to anything replying to this post, warriors are impossible to argue with)

Thank you so much for realizing that Necromancers are OP!

Everyone has to run conditions removal because of Necromancers, so by your logic Necromancers are OP.

In fact, on my Warrior I run Sig of Stamina, Berserker Stance, Cleansing Ire, and Melandru runes…..all just to try to counter Necromancer conditions.

Funny how just as I’m reading this, I’m matched up against 4 necros and a guardian. How fun.

Ajaxx.3157:

No………….

Just be glad more warriors don’t run m/s – hammer or you’d be crying anus blood tears even more.

This.

I’ll be waiting for the day the “GS/Mace OP” threads turn into “Hammer/Mace OP”.

Fenrir.5493:

Introducing the new greatsword for warriors, now hundred blades(now hundred bullets) gets some range:

If they add a Gunblades into the game,. I’d pass out from happiness.

Randulf.7614:

Best thread in this forum! (I struggle to draw stick men, so I wont post mine!!)

No! Please do! There are no art critics here (or so I hope…) so it’s all for a laugh :P

Pandeh.5248:

You should include a picture of you’r character as well^^

Updated. Thanks! ^^

So I was doodling about and decided to draw my character in GW2.

http://artpad.art.com/?mr0cxtdlets

It’s very unprofessional, but whatever haha.
(ps. I suggest you slide the replay speed control to maximum – fast)

Feel free to draw your own and post below!

(pps. colours are kind of skewed since they didn’t offer all the colours I needed heh)

Scoobaniec.9561:

Excalibur.9748:

Why is it not valid? I killed pretty much all warriors prior to this patch, and after patch I lost to quite a few warriors, don’t you think this is strange and suggest that they were overbuffed?

Excalibur.9748:

Because a thief should be overwhelmingly better than warrior 1v1, not struggle at all. Warrior is already one of the best at PvE, ZvZ, GvG (where the thief sucks), it stands to reason the thief should crush the warrior no questions asked.

Last couple of patches overtuned warrior mobility, sustainability, and CC, so now they are too good at everything and needs to be brought down a couple of nothces.

Excalibur.9748:

A roaming class should absolutely have the advantage over warrior… warrior is already good in PvE, ZvZ, GvG, it’s not fair that it’s good at everything at once.

Excalibur.9748:

Well thief should be better than warrior in 1v1, but right now warrior is a pain to take down

Excalibur.9748:

lol srsly?! you would challenge a fresh lv80 to a duel? (Especially a spec you have some experience in, I’ve seen that video) That wouldn’t prove anything would it.

You realize that dueling builds are different from roaming builds right? If you know what build I’m gonna run, then you can just run a build specifically tailored to beat this one. How is that even fair?

Should be able to run from the few counters with greatsword mobility and -98% condi duration.

Now lets take a look

Excalibur.9748:

no stealth is balanced.

Excalibur.9748:

Just roll with the zerg if you don’t think you can win a duel with a thief that abuses stealth.

Excalibur.9748:

Thieves are the biggest joke in the game right now, People really need to L2P if they can’t beat a thief 1v1 100% of the time.

Excalibur.9748:

Not all builds are supposed to be good at 1v1.

Excalibur.9748:

The initiative system alone makes it worth it. Thief is great at getting away and having unparalleled mobility which makes the class what it is.

Excalibur.9748:

I love spamming FS on a guardian. Always makes them run.

Excalibur.9748:

Like timing 1.2.3. roll…?? Seriously? Wow the thief only has to wait until you waste the roll then spam the back stab on you.

Excalibur.9748:

unfortunately, I’m not that skilled. I spam FS and that works as well. hehe

Excalibur.9748:

This is a serious L2P issue here. I never lose to thief on my warrior, without even breaking a sweat.

And best one;

Excalibur.9748:

i think it’s an underserved nerf. now we have to slot a stun breaker??

Someone wanna sum up that guy? I will stay away from that to not get banned for few words.

kitten.jpg

Just wondering, why are you running Stronger Bowstrings? Doesn’t it still reduce the overall damage of all your longbow skills?

Unless i’m wrong, then I apologize haha

I don’t wanna be one of those kittens who say it, but anyone who says Warriors are OP at the moment is seriously just a L2P issue.

Excalibur.9748:

We still have low damage.
We still have poor sustain (can be easilly kited/killed.)
We are still one of the hardest classes to play.

This is lulzy coming from the highest damage, and one of the highest sustain class. It’s also the class that is widely considered to be ez-mode and faceroll.

I almost threw up reading that.

Viya Estel.6931:

it gives around 400 untraited.. and when activated it doesnt give me enough to survive.. 0.o

Stop playing a glassy style build, and you’ll see how effective it is with a good amount of toughness. And I don’t suggest activating it either… lol

I would be extremely happy.

It’s a hilarious build to use, to blow up those who don’t expect it. But against any player who actually knows what they’re doing, well, that’s a different story.

After the buffs, Mending was finally taken down to 20 seconds and given 1 more condition to be removed taking it to a total of 3 total conditions removed on a ~5.5k heal every 20 seconds.
However, the average healing per adrenal stage on Surge was buffed overall.

Which heals are you guys going to run now?
I’m kind of torn between the two.

It’s sPvP. Let people call you whatever. Just keep practicing there. It’s usually just a big messy bag anyway.

tPvP however, is a different story.

JoakimFA.4713:

Yes, I play GW2
however I’m extremely underwhelmed with how the game is as of this state. I never said the game is appealing to me. don’t put words into my mouth.

Why are you playing a game that doesn’t appeal to you then? That is one of the most silly things I have ever heard. Games are meant to be fun, if they don;t appeal to your sense of fun then you should stop playing them immediately.

oh, I have stopped playing. but I log on once in a while, do a couple tpvp with my friends who still play and log back off. this thread is not whether or not I’m a casual player or not, it’s to show my annoyance towards people who are complaining about the achievement rewards. but thanks for your input anyway lol

methinks that_its the downside of appealing to that sort of players.

At beginning we had an awesome community, the biggest damage was when they wanted to lure in the game another target audience that i don t really like and that was actually keeping me far from mmorpgs.

I don’t seeing this game appealing to anyone but casual gamers, unfortunately.

this sentence makes you a casual player….

aside from the typo, do elaborate?

sounds exactly as those people saying “most people is dumb”….but being that a sentence said by most people it can have onlly 2 meanings:

1) most people saying “most people is dumb” is dumb

2) the sentence is false

I opt for the 2…..

Same example may apply to your statement…gw2 appeals only to casual players…you play GW2 thus appeals to you.
So unless you are a casual player, that statement is wrong.

I could say i know quite a lot of experienced players coming from really competitive games even at esport level, playing only the PVE side of this game.

Some of them even says that some dungeons are really hard (and i agree, they are made easy negating mechanics but that is OT).

So i don t think this game appeal to casuals.

Yes, I play GW2

disgusted about some people’s complaints about the new achievement point rewards? honestly, how greedy can you be. you’re lucky to even get anything for the amount of points you have and yet all you do is complain. I for one am happy with what I’m given. I have a good amount of badges of honor (some of you were complaining about how difficult they were to get, and now when they’re being handed for free you still complain) and some really cool weapon skins. Let alone account bonuses, gold and even karma.

Kinda ironic you play a condition Mesmer.
Jokes aside, hope you enjoyed your stay in Tyria, buddy.
Take care and stay strong.

I personally don’t like Defy Pain activating at 25% hp. While yeah, it can save you once in a while, the problems are:

• You cannot control when it activates or what it activates on.
• It’s hard to rely on since its long cooldown
• Even if it stops all physical incoming damage, if you are at 25% hp and you have a bunch of conditions on you, you’re going to get eaten alive

Activating at 75% would be worse imo. Yeah, as mentioned above its really easy to counter if your enemy knows whats going on.

If you’re gonna go that deep into the defense tree, just use Spiked Armor.

I can’t imagine anyone who would feel the need to force themselves to log into the game if they don’t want to. If I don’t want to play I just don’t. End of. it’s not like im missing out on anything

CrossedHorse.4261:

Trouble with blaming other players is that you end up with a side essentially hollering “l2”, which is not the problem.

Yes, developing a game is always going to be a delicate balance of creating the game itself and managing player expectations. Of course there are both some things that could be improved in the game and some players who simply insist on making the game something it should be to suit them. This will be the case for EVERY game, which is why the job of the devs is, as I said, MANAGING expectations.

This isn’t easy. People are all individual, and their expectations include far too many variables. The fact that some people are very satisfied with this game should testify that it isn’t all bad with the game. YES, some people are easily satisfied, but similarly at the other end of the table, some people are easily dissatisfied.

It is usually the dissatisfied that come to the forums. If you are happy with something you generally don’t feel the need to tell people about it. So the louder voices always appear to be the malcontents. Go on any gaming forum and check the threads – I doubt you’ll find on any of them that the majority are in praise of the game (not after it’s been out for anywhere longer than a month).

So I think it’s not as simple as saying don’t hate the game, hate the players. Because games are made with players in mind. And no, they can’t cater to everyone, but there needs to be a balance.

/thread

I’d buy it if I wore medium armor ._.

Balkanwarrior.5132:

Logging off

lmao.

Anyway, on topic. I’d say my favorite part of GW2 is… the ability to dye my armor.

In PvP, Warriors are definitely not boring to play. You’re always on your toes, in and out of battle.

Ugh, thanks for making me feel worse about my class.
BUT SERIOUSLY DAT ARCING ARROW WTF. GIMME NOW.

No.
