Guild Wars 2

Noticed there’s another thread about the same issue, woops sorry for making another one.

But honestly it might get their attention this way.

Can we please have 1/2/3 additional Utility skills for revenant please. Make them work as they do right now, but for example swap out “Pain Absorbation (Demon)” for a new one, which also results in changing “Riposting Shadows (Assassin)”, "Facet of Darkness (Dragon), “Protective Solace (Centaur)” and “Inspiring Reinforcements (Dwarf)” into new ones. 1 additional set of utiliry skills would be enough but it’d be more fun with slightly more costumization.

Example could be: (Imbalanced maybe, hard to tell for me)
1. (Dragon) Facet of Pride (Retaliation); Works like other facets but then for Retaliation.
2. (Dwarf) Dwarfen Battle Stance: Grant protection and might for allies.
3. (Assassin) Meditation of the Reaper: (Medium-long cast (2s?)) grant a shield for X seconds absorbing Y dmg, when shield is broken or expired steal Z amount of life from nearby foes.
4. (Demon) Couldn’t think of anything, anybody else or arenanet undoubtly can.
5. (Centaur) Ventari’s Watch: Grant pulsing Resistance around the tablet (0,5s resistance pulsing every 1 second?

I’m not very familiar with Centaur, might be too powerful or not fitting, but you probably got the idea.

Anyone else agrees that we want/need (an) additional Utility skill(s)?

Hello,

I’d really like to see a leveling reward track. Could come in handy when I’m leveling an alt character. Adding experience boosters, tomes of knowledge and maybe some hero points/additional experience boosts cross account would be useful.

Agree/disagree?

messiah.1908:

in team fight look for the necro as you can pressure them first
also if you running viper its much easier with resistance
but power can have some trouble but its doable with shiro retreat let them deplete thier LF and come back and attack

Yes I run power shiro with a tweak: I use hammer in some matches (but when I see 2+ Rangers, Necromancers and sometimes engineer I swap to staff for #4). Yeah retreating is what I’m currently doing but it feels so uncomfortable because I should be in the backline wreaking havoc essentially AOE stunning for 3 seconds and crashing on someone slightly out of position. But Necromancers prevent me completely from doing that.

But back to the retreating part; They’ll likely not follow me leaving my team(mate(s)) behind and ultumately losing a capture point/key position, which is pretty bad.

I often play with 1 or 2 friends. One of them still unsure what spec/proffesion to play. Any advice that can help us advance in ranked/unranked matches? Maybe a good combination with 3 characters involving 1 Dragonhunter, 1 HeraldShiro and the unknown 3rd? Something that (counters*)/cures condition(builds*).

Thanks for the help so far,

- Joep.

(Constructed PvP, Conquest etc.)

Hello,

I’m a casual Gw2 player trying to get more into PvP and maybe do some rated later mainly playing revenant as it reminds me of my old wow Monk playstyle which I enjoyed very much. Revenant have an awesome taste of gear, have interesting backstory and has so much potential.

But I’m running very much into trouble when I come up against a necromancer, more specifically, a reaper in PvP combat. In a 1 versus 1 I can basically beat anything depending if they’re far above my skill level, even reapers with a bit of luck and if everything falls into place. They seem to always catch me when it’s a "team fight’ though and they give me such a hard time with their high condition damage and chills for my cooldowns.

How do I have to handle them more properly? Any other tips/tricks for revenant PvP?

Thanks in advance!

- Joep.

Tried using this build with some tweaks; (rousing resillience for example). Turned out to work aswell but was worse vs thiefs & mesmers so changed it back to Spiked Armor. Leg specialist works great too; Kind of missed a reliable root. Thanks ^^.

And tried the standard aswell; but forgot to use balanced stance before first time… Never making that mistake again if I see a D/P thief =).

Thanks I figured it out now ^^.

@ Deimos Tel Arin:
I’ll try that out but you didn’t update the link so got the exact build back ^.^. If you have trait/utility and amulet advice please tell me.

@ Witcher:
I’ll take air runes instead of the force ones then. But I don’t want to change my weapon set haven’t got so much fun in this game ever; Plus everyone uses a bow, might come as a surprise if I came in without. It’s literally the most boring weapon in the game IMO. I’ll swap the amulet around a bit and try to find something fitting. I’ll use hoelbrak runes for now then too.

I can add that I actually have a lot of trouble with blinds/thiefs most of the time. What should I do to change that?

Hello,

I’ve created my own (might nog be original) build in PvP since I like GS/Hammer really much with the amount of mobility. I’m not very good at this game yet; planning to become better ofcourse.

My current build is here: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fJAQJARSjMdUFaZIuhwJaAmgCdnPBfwxEIAU+ETBA-TZRBABBt/A4lB04IAgxDAAgLBAA

Would you recommend any changes? Maybe between Uskills, traits, amulet, runes or Sigils? I feel like I don’t use frenzy enough; maybe 1-2 times every match for example.

Utility Skills elaboration:
Healing Signet for Passive heal, toughness is high and I prefer countering more pressuring builds than the bursty ones; Balanced Stance as stunbreaker; Berserker Stance versus conditions; Signet for passive adrenaline; Frenzy for “Sometimes” damage.

Current traits with elaboration:
I really like Mobile strikes for the 2 GS abilities and the adrenaline spender in Hammer. Warrior’s sprint for passive speed; Cleansing ire for condition removal; Dogged March for mobility and occuring regen; Devy Pain as back-up; Deep strike, I don’t know actually; And forceful Greatsword for passive cooldowns, synergy with Mobile Strikes.

Armor etc. elaboration:
Sigils I’d like to keep this way definately; suggestions are welcome. I like the backup endurence as often as possible; And doom for pressure; Runes I don’t know actually, these seemed good as I found nothing better; Knights because I hate zerker, and I need to crit, and I’m not yet good enough to forget toughness.

Changes/suggestins in anything are welcome, I just really want to keep the following:
Mobile Strikes, Cleansing Ire, My sigils, My amulet, Berserker Stance.

Thanks in advance ^^.

Alright I’m currently looking for a stun in the longbow build, or a way to prevent them from blocking it atleast; Thanks I can figure it out from here.

Thanks everybody ^^!

Just searched on metabattle; Yes seems fun. But maybe a little bit too melee-ish. I’m trying to get this build with other weapon types/traits for a more ranged like burst. Thanks for pointing it out though something to try & change ^^!

Some things that I can add that can make it more clear:
It should be a power build;
Crit/precision is probably important;
Mobility isn’t my main issue.

Hello fellow gamers,

(About this post; I don’t mind leveling any class or gold/diamond requirements)

(Something about me)
I’m a World of Warcraft player who’s willing to play more games with friends; We’re all mainly focused on PvP, and are all pretty good in Arena, Battlegrounds and World PvP (We’re all gladiators in WoW PvP). I’ve done some google-ing, played the game, got several lvl 80s, tried some casual PvP and dungeons and loved the gameplay in general.

(Help required)
I’ve got a small amount of experience in this game; I’ve leveled a warrior, ranger and engineer to lvl 80 for PvP, done this in the PvP mode, and done World vs World vs World aswell. No Ascended pieces or whatever; just superior items with some gimicky tryhard builds. But I miss my old class and spec I’ve been playing in world of warcraft, so…

(My question)
Can someone please help create a build that looks something like “WoW Destruction warlock”. It is a class that’s build around very hard hitting spells. You build up a special recourse, and unleash them while your enemies are Controlled by for example a stun, dealing heavy damage. While your damage outside this burst is decent/worse.

What I need with this is:
1 . Hard hitting, ranged ability. Prefered no CD. If I can use this ability and follow it up with something else that does big damage, it is fine aswell.
2. I need 1 stun/cc which I can use to I can get this ability going so nobody can dodge/stop it for the duration of the CC.
3. Decent survivability would be great too; but the other 2 things are my priority.

Something extra: If you can tell me what armor/traits I should run would help too. But I just can’t find a fitting class with the things I’m currently interrested in. It’s fine if it’s Semi-viable, but I just don’t mind being really good anyway; I just want to play something like this again.

If you need me to give video examples how this class works in World of Warcaft I can give you some video links. Maybe that will help. Waiting for your responses, thanks!

I’ll just copy paste it there, anyway if anyone is willing to help here; Post something below here please. =)

Thanks.

Hello everyone,

Thanks for all the responses and tried to create builds myself meanwhile, tested some of yours too. It was for PvP mainly, should have said that at the start ^^.

Although, not the most useful combination indeed due poor minion control (well atleast for me) and it’s hard to maintain DPS/survival in such a build/combo. Killing is pretty easy in death shroud and going into defense mode wasn’t hard aswell although it requires things off-cooldown and full life force to start bursting.

I’m going to try some new builds myself now too and check some on websites – Anyway thanks for the responses and had some fun trying these builds out 1 by 1. Not a really bad spell/ability combinations but surely not one of the worst.

Thanks ^^. – Joep Hakkers

Hello fellow necromancers. I’m an ex-wow player looking for someone familiar with WoW classes or someone who can help me anyway.

I’d like to play a demonology warlock – Which results a death shroud/pet build (This should be clear for people who never played wow too I geuss)

I’m not really good or horrible at the game, but I prefer control/damage hybrid build if it is possible. I prefer doing damage and having some toughness too if possible. I’m going with “Flesh Golem” all the time and I’d like a secundairy pet too.

Thanks in advance! – Joep Hakkers.

Sykper.6583:

Posting some more!

Axe: Ngh…how many Eviscerates have I hit with 60%+ crit chance and not crit?! Mechanically balanced, but there should be some way for a warrior to have his burst skills crit 100% of the time on a Cooldown, make some skillful play. I know! Make it a Grandmaster Trait in Strength or Arms! That’s an idea, give me some feedback on this.

I’d like to see a change coming up giving 100% crit chance to eviscerate. But in cost of damage, increased damage caused by the amount of precision, crit damage and power.
