Guild Wars 2

Really hope all of them die. None of these characters are remotely as interesting as the GW1 heroes, i.e. Mhenlo, Livia, Koss, Kormir, Jora, the list goes on.

GW2 is pretty much done…

Look forward to a GW3 within the next 2 years.

If you’re taking this build for dungeons/fractals you’re it doing it wrong.

I’d rather Greatsword be transformed into a melee weapon, as the Mesmer lacks 2 handed melee option.

And the Mesmer gets either rifle or pistol mainhand for ranged options.

What server are you guys on? Cause im on JQ and we have yet to beat it once.

Are you guys really that lazy, that you can’t warp to Gendarran and then to your home city of choice?

Start mining iron.

By far the best addition to the game in this patch. I’m really loving the new Quaggan tonics, it’s awesome that each colour isn’t simply a reskin, but they have their own individual design. My personal fave is the black killerwhale Quaggan, and my only gripe is the 15 min limit.

I guess my thanks goes to Anet for not making a gemstore item, or incredibly rare as they are quite affordable on the TP!

OCD claims another victim…

I recommend you start lifting.

After the nerf Knight’s or Rabid will likely be the overall best stat for DPS and survivability.

Knight’s is currently:
Toughness
Power
Precision

Knight’s after the patch:
Toughness
Power
Ferocity (BOTH precision and crit damage)

I hate Rangers so much…

So many bear-bow signet rangers, and I hate other party members for not agreeing to autokick on sight.

I recently did fractal lvl 6 with two rangers….. one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had.

The fractal lvl felt like 50.

I agree that’s how it works.

For more than a year, I ran on the default bank space. But since the last sale I bought 3 extra tabs… the thing is I still have the same amount of space relatively, cause now I’m holding onto all this random junk and bloodstone dust/emp stars that I used to trash.

Lmao @"Free-for-all bully range".

Time to nut up my friend.

Hey Gaile,

Just want to let you know, for many others and myself this type of vertical progression is A-OK. It’s much better than say furthering item tiers with Ascended stats, which has a profound impact on WvW and how future PVE content will be designed.

Please ignore the vocal minority, as this new pick has literally ZERO pay2win impact, as it does not affect WvW/Dungeons/or Fractals in any way and gives people a good incentive to accumulate gold.

Look forward to seeing more exciting items in the gemshop.

Meh its the same as Ascended/Legendaries.

You will all learn to deal with it.

Sigh Guild Wars 2…. huge continent disappointment.

Where are our expansion packs already?

I dont think this is pay2win @all… it’s the same as buying extra boosters from the gemstore, or buyings gems and exchanging for gold.

Same level of pay2win. I just think other pay2winners are angry because their own unlimited picks dont give them something extra now.

Staff is better than GS in PVE.

Lmao mesmer signet build? and really no blink, the one mandatory wvw skill?

Memsers are getting nerfed the hardest. Two key traits heavily nerfed to the ground.

^ How naive you are.

Tuesday will be a sad day for my Mesmer, or whenever that balance patch goes live >:(

Use soldier trinkets instead of zerker. Zerker trinkets are getting a double nerf.

There’s no way to really gearcheck, but there will probably be more Achievement Points checking and more class checking, i.e. no rangers/thieves allowed.

What exactly are you doing with transmutation stones on trinkets…?

Sigh reading comprehension…..

With zerker trinkets getting a larger nerf, it makes a lot more sense to use non-zerker trinkets, i.e. soldiers. As a result, if you still want crit dmg, you have to now swap in zerker armour pieces. Hence, if you want to keep your look you need transmutation stones and if you don’t want to lose your AR you need the de-slotter. Therefore, ANet gains more cashshop sales from nerfing, at the risk of losing more players.

Do you not want to wait for the patch to go live first? You’re basically seeing a leaky pipe on a boat and screaming it’s sinking.

By the time the patch goes live, it’s far too late. It will take months if not years for the change to revert. Your line of thinking is also one of the reasons why we don’t have an expansion and is still continuing the absolutely terrible Scarlet living stories, cause people like you rather wait and see, than voice their opinions.

Dude this patch nerfs Mesmer build variety to the ground. All you’ll see are crappy phantasm memsers that use GS and nothing else, even though Sword/Focus DPS is so much greater than GS.

Man, that’s what I’m afraid of the most. That the trinkets take the larger hit.

Looks like I’ll have to re-do my entire armour sets for both my Mesmer and Warrior, and sadly ANet profits even more from this cause we need Transmutation stones and those de-slotters from the effing cashshop,

It’s too late the only Mesmer build ANet wants is the Phantasm build, spam all your phantams then afk while your GS auto-attacks crap to death.

That’s what the Deceptive Evasion nerf achieves. Now you’ll see plenty more faceroll phantasm Mesmers that never change their weapons from GS.

While every other Mesmer build that doesnt play faceroll-lazy Phantasms are nerfed.

Way to think this through Anet.

This nerf is balls…

Huge nerf to my shatter build and every other Mesmer build, but ironically buffs the lazy faceroll GS/GS phantasm builds you see all the bad Memsers playing >:(

Seriously Anet?

“Crit Damage – stat ratios compared to other stats are all over the place. You get way more crit dmg from your trinkets than from other pieces of gear so it is more efficient to stack crit dmg for them. By adding this new stat, we are able to normalize critical damage with other stats”

I understand that overall Zerker stats will be decreased by 10%. But in terms of trinkets specifically, are they going to take an even bigger hit than armour and weapon pieces?

Cause right now I’m using a combination of Soldier’s/Knight’s armour pieces and all Zerker trinkets. But if Zeker trinkets take a bigger nerf, I may have to go Zerker/Knights armour and Soldiers trinkets or something like that.

Darek.1836:

this build is really low stats all over.. I know you can increase stats with other builds

Any suggestions on increasing stats? I can probably go with Valkyrie or the P/T/Crit Dmg equivalent without taking a huge hit to crit %

foofad.5162:

Sword/Scepter and you DON’T have Right Handed Strength? Take your points out of Valor, put them into Radiance and Virtues and your traits will be much better.

Lol, this actually a great idea, but is it still a good idea if I want to rotate weapons, mostly in pve scenarios, I never equip a ranged weapon unless its needed. I wanted to rotate Hammer with scepter/focus depending on situation, while sword/torch would be my main.

This is currently what I’m planning for my Charr Guardian.

Personally, I’m not a huge fan of having specialized sets and builds for different things such as, General PVE, WvW, Dungeons/Fractals… simply because of the cost involved in obtaining the armour/weapons, etc.

I designed this Guardian on two major factors: High Crit and Shout Support. Maximum DPS isn’t the primary goal, but rather a more balanced approach.

Anyways, please take a look and give me your feedback!

Personally, I really dislike Guardian GS. It’s not fun to play at all. Hammer requires good timing and I find that much more enjoyable.

Skill clicking… stop it.

TBH I’ve seen a lot more crappier guardians than I see bad warriors.

The only bad warriors I’ve ever seen, are the ones that still play signet warrior @lvl 80.

Personally I wouldn’t go celestial. Go:

-Zerker weapons
-PVT/Cavalier armour
-Zerker/Cavalier trinkets
-With traveler runes

Now not only do you do decent damage, but you’ve got great tank stats, extra boon duration and fast movement speed.

Painbow.6059:

you guys obviously don’t play much.. pvt bear bow is the best pve build right now. if not that then cleric staff guardian

Don’t forget Greatsword/Greatsword Mesmer.

So far in the early leveling stages…

Guardian feels incredibly underwhelming with such a low hp pool, and every weapon besides the scepter being terrible.

I think my Mesmer was a lot easier to level.

Hello,

I’m not sure if Anet is already aware of this issue, but I’d like to point out some missing textures in the CoF heavy legguards in the belt region. It would be much appreciated by many if the dev team could rework some of the older armours so textures arn’t missing when mixing and matching armour.

Regards,

As if the entire storyline revolving Scarlett wasn’t bad enough, now you want to go into Kid’s TV storyline territory.

I honestly, couldn’t believe a game could have as bad a storyline as Diablo 3… but GW2 has really been pushing it with the Living Story. Can we please go back to the dragons, or the engaging stories we got from GW: Factions, Nightfall, and EotN.
