Guild Wars 2

I really wish Anet would let us customize our action bar, like moving the skills around just like in World of Warcraft, that way player can customize their bar further to suit their play style, since even if we keybind it and change it around, when we switch weapon the skills will be all jumbled up and my intention is to only switch the skills around in 1 weaponset anyway just hoping that Anet will let us freely customize our action bar in the near future…

I find necro easy to kill on my d/p + shortbow glass cannon thief

It is because some people enjoy playing their class unlike some people who tend to migrate from 1 class to another because of FOTM classes…..

The Horn’s in E major, I wish ANET would release an instrument that’s in minor, maybe a cello or a violin?

Why not fully chromatic instruments? Would save me lots of bother altering the pitch of my recordings…

Agreed, even better, maybe release a violin or piano….!

The melee class/builds are already bad enough and underpowered in this game, won’t Torment further make melee builds unviable? like thieves, warriors, etc etc

Ok so back then, before the updated S/D patch, ‘Zoe L’ a famous Sword Dagger thief was famous back then because she was like the only thief that ran it (S/D was quite hard to play back then), and we haven’t seen anything from her for a while now. On the other hand, there’s this other big name called ‘Jumper X’ who have innovated Sword Dagger build that most S/D thieves these days run, so I’m just wondering….

So… I came into conclusion that, Jumper X is Zoe L in disguise!!!

Hundred Blade should reflect projectiles in a cone in front of warrior, what do you guys think?

Did trick shot speed increase this patch? Just wondering

LOL true dat, but imagine them lvl 80 fully geared, and built to suit WvWvW, now that would be crazy?

Since most of the skillful players are in Heart of the Mists, imagine all the hardcore tpvp players decided to form a WvWvW guild, since they are the REAL pvp players, I wonder how awesome the guild would be in WvWvW

25/30/0/0/15 is probably the best d/p build, with the combination of shortbow

Was actually the strongest dps thief burst build in the game

Since what made pistol whip overpowered back then was the 100% quickness from haste, I think the damage should be brought back up by 15% or atleast 10% since quickness is now only 50%, what do you guys think?

Is it a bug? It sometimes does no damage when I detonate it too close to the ground or something, it’s really bugging me

that sounds’ harsh, typical thief hater? not like thieves are that op anymore anyway

Not very exciting, you should duel a similar burst thief, not outdated condition thief

Lissane’s Holy Flame Build for Tpvp in Heart of the mists.

Awesome burst build I discovered while toying around with Guardian builds in the mists. This build is awesome in team fights, where you can destroy up to 2-3 targets with your crazy AOE bursts. This build is a burst build, with mediocre survivability, with moderate toughness and few condition removals. It is a fusion between raw damage and condition damage. The weapons I use are Greatsword, and Sword/Focus.

Traits are >>>>>>>>>>>>>> 20/25/25/0/0

Zealotry: II and VII

Radiance: III and VI

Valor: II and V

The runes I’m using are 6/6 Flame Legion runes, because I want increased burn duration, power and the 5% damage bonus on burned target. The sigils are, Sigil of Superior Battle on Greatsword, and Sigil of Superior Force and Superior Peril on the Sword and Focus. I use Soldier’s amulet for the Damage, and Toughness, with Berserker’s jewel.

The Utilities are Shelter, Judge’s Intervention, Purging Flames, Save Yourselves, and Renewed Focus.

The reason I chose the traits in order:

II – Fiery Wrath
I chose this because I will be constantly burning my foes, and the 10% bonus damage is awesome because it stacks with the 6/6 flame legion rune bonus.

VII – Great Sword Power
My main burst damage comes from Greatsword

III – Shimmering Defense
Burns when your hp is low, nuff said.

VI – Blind Exposure
The invulnerability this build stacks is quite insane, I can stack as much invulnerability as a well necro with Greatsword’s Leap of Faith, Sword’s Flashing blade and Focus’ Ray of judgement. from using these skills, you can stack up to 12 vulnerability, while Zeal’s Master minor trait, Symbolic exposure, further stacks vulnerability which is possible to stack 16 stacks of vulnerability if they also stand in your symbols. Then you can further stack up to 18 stacks of invulnerability if you activate virtue of justice near your enemy from Justice is blind trait in Radiance since Blind = invulnerability.

II – Defender’s flame
Burn attackers when blocking, so Focus 5 skill, our Aegis, and our heal which is shelter, will burn attackers when they attack you. And while they are burnt, you deal bonus damage on them.

V – Purity
This is a must, because our only source of condition removals are Purging Flames other than this trait.

I took Radiant power in Radiance, and might of the Protector in Valor because I wanted some crit damage, and precision, while these 2 minor traits are better than symbolic power in zealotry.

How to burst: Always start the fight with Sword/Focus. Start off with Ray of Judgement for the blind and invulnerability, then use Flashing Blade to get into melee range while applying some more blind and invulnerability, then Zealot’s defense for some nice damage, then finally Shield of Wrath for some nice defense, and damage since blocking will burn your foe. Quickly Switch to GS, use Purging Flames to remove condition and deal burn damage and for the combo field, fire. Now set up your burst! Binding blade to get ready to pull them in and out of purging flame, Leap of faith for flame aura from Purging flames or retaliation from symbol of wrath, Symbol of Wrath for invulnerability stacks and Retaliation, and finally Whirling Wrath for ultimate burst madness combined with Judge’s Intervention, Virtue of justice for the burn and some more vulnerability, and Save yourselves for crazy burst and bonus stats and boons. Finish with Auto attack spam and if they still don’t die, switch to sword/focus and Autoattack and that’s about it.

So to make this burst simple………………..
Ray of Judgement > Flashing Blade > Zealot’s Defense > Shield of Wrath > Switch weapon > Purging Flame > Binding Blade > Pull > Symbol of Wrath > Leap of Faith > and use Save Yourselves with Judge’s Intervention and Virtue of Justice with Whirling Wrath.

That’s about it guys, now watch as you decimate multiple targets with your AOE bursts and Burns and vulnerabilities.

My character is human female necromancer and for some reason, when I use Lich form, I become a GUY! Why is this?

I was lucky, I got Pyre on my first try yay

JJBigs.8456:

Does anyone think it would be cool if warriors could trait into dual wielding GS?

WoW Player LOL

It says Tpvp, not WvWvW

LOL deathmatch, imagine full team of dagger ele

What melee class? Rigt now, only good melee classes are thieves and guardians, and thieves does the most pressure anyway. Also, somebody’s unfamiliar with Longbow skill’s pindown which keeps the enemy inside the burst’s aoe. Anyway I find rifle terrible compared to Longbow because other than the knock back Rifle has to offer, it’s pretty much got nothing else, and then there’s kill shot which does insane damage but it is easy to dodge because of the ridiculous charge time. Overall, I think Longbow is a better weapon for Tpvp because of the control it has, like blind, immobilize, while you can circle strafe around your enemy in burst, which is much more mobile and useful compared to rifle’s “OH I’M GOING TO CROUCH AND KILLSHOT YOU NOW, MAKE SURE YOU DON’T INTERRUPT ME OR EVADE.” Besides, have you ever played rifle in Tpvp? It is terrible because you only have the knock back to save you, once you’re targetted, you die because most utilities are damage or for burst set up, with barely any survival utilities with any rifle builds.

It’s different, this warrior build has a combination of good Condition damages (2 most damage dealing conditions, bleeds and burns), and crit. Cluster bombing thief’s condi damage is very weak

Ok so this is how it is, because I was poor at first, I was thinking of buying major rune of scholar and applying 4 of them onto my gears, head, shoulder, chest, gloves. My pants and boots had some other upgrades on them like gemstones. At first, when I mouse over my gears, it says 4/4 major runes of scholar, but after I made enough money, I started replacing them with superior runes of the Scholar and now, when i mouse over my gears, it should be indicating 6/6 Superior rune of the scholar when I mouse over, BUT, for some reason, the font is in red and says 12/6 Superior runes of the scholar….. why!!!

So yeah, right now I am wondering if my Runes are actually working with the 6/6 buff because of the wrong indication with the runes.

Since necro is so underpowered right now, what do you guys think of Golem charge skill to have instant cast time? That would buff the necro class more and give us more cooler combos

and when i play condi, I run 10/30/30/0/0 with runes of the krait x 4 and runes of affliction x2

I run khalifa’s d/d build with knights amulet and it does have high damage and stuff, but I can’t seem to land the full burst in because of their stealth all the time

I can easily kill the noob thieves that spam 2 2 2 all the time, but good ones I can’t no matter what :S

well since deathshroud seems better with more vitality, I tend to run builds with either knight or carrion amulet and my fav weapons are either dagger dagger or sceptar dagger with staff

Simple question, how do you guys deal with Dagger burst Thieves in Tpvp? Assuming the thief is not a noob and he probably got Champion Shadow title. Whenever I roll condi build or power necro build, the one class I find hardest to deal with are the thieves, so any suggestions? I want some suggestions from experienced necros out there

Just wondering if you have tried hammer for the other weapon set instead of mace/shield and how’s the combination between Longbow and Hammer

Ah, so you’re that really good longbow warrior I versed the other day. You put up a good fight despite the fact that warriors are currently the most underpowered class in Tpvp. Your build seems very solid, most warriors won’t expect Longbow as their main weapon of choice, while the mace/shield for defensive play. This must be the revolutionary build that replaces GS, axe/shield!

I’m sure haste nerf didn’t hit us thieves that hard. Most good thief builds don’t require haste, especially if you’re running dagger/dagger or dagger/pistol. Unless you go full haste heart seeker spamming build which after u burst someone down, you become a walking sankitten because of the endurance penalty. TBH, haste nerf only ruined warriors because of the damage penalty and turning their awesome 100blades burst into only 50 blades
