It’s hardly overpowered with all the projectile reflect spam riddled in HoT

You mean the counter play to all the Range projectile Spam in game? SoW is a bug and needs to be fixed, period.

Anet will fix “bugs” like jump casts but not something as blatant as this says a lot.

And you say it’s not OP, let’s see does any other single skill in game give 5 stacks of Stability, provide 25% damage increase and 50% movement speed increase and now have the unintended Bug of being unblockable all for 8 seconds? On a relatively short Cd compared to all those effects. Hell that is better than most elites in game and it’s not like it can’t be cast while in Stealth to help eliminate the Tell on cast, on top of the 5 stacks of Stability being applied upon activation to stop it from being interrupted.

I love this alternate reality people live in where rangers have unbelievable burst potential and can insatgib you if you give them an ounce of an opening.

I guess that’s why every optimal ranger build has been some form of a tank. (spirit bunker, regen bunker, Druid)

Exactly XD,you other guys make it sound like rangers can insta kill you with this “supremelyOP” bug….gg when pew pew becomes viable

Bad idea. Limiting ranked queue size is hurting PvP more than helping.

The arguments against larger queue sizes in ranked are nonsense and full of holes:

• Premades have Voice Comm Many group queues don’t use voice comms or don’t use it well.
• Premades Always Win I’ve seen them lose quite often. The fact that the group queued together doesn’t mean their more coordinated than a PUG. Premades also get an inflated matchmaking value, making them more likely to fight higher rated solo players.
• Premades have a Better Comp Anyone can swap professions before the match starts. Talk to your teammates.
• Team Queues get higher ranks It’s a team game. Coordinating as a team should be reflected by a higher rating.

People whining against team queues in ranked are just using it an excuse for their own failure and unwillingness to improve themselves or work as a team.

Here’s the harm that the restriction causes, which are related and build on each other:

• Discourages PvP Participation Many players don’t play or don’t play as often because they can’t play with multiple friends. MMOs promote groups, but the queue restrictions prevent that.
• Degrades Teamplay PvP includes working as a team – playing your build’s role, rallying allies, being aware of the map, etc. Solo and duo players ignore these and when both sides do this, it just degrades further. There are no true teams to show the others they need to work together in order to win.
• Promotes Toxicity When you don’t have teams, the blame for a loss goes flying. And when players can’t escape the toxicity by playing with friends, it frustrates them.

i 100% agree with you on this
i have been on team with random players where we won n still had a teammate kittening at another teammate for sucking
oh my favorite one bout this season was whn ppl see 2-3 thieves on a team and decide to switch to a thief to make us intentionally lose (sarcasm——i didnt like that 1 bit)
r.i.p gw2 pvp

is gw2 going to bring in guild vs guild or 5 man ques bac anytime soon, too many people saying solo q is better than 5 man que…this is an mmo right? team up with ur friends n kitten n have fun right?….likewhy play a massive multiplayer game if not for those….people who solo q n got messed up by teams last season….please stop..u pretty much destroyed pvp guilds…u guys who cried bout solo q r baddies n pretty much ruined the pvp aspect of the game n im bout to leave also…prolly give my stuff to an npc before i quit

Lol i soloq every season and from a soloq perspective having premades r fine in rank and if you want casual go unrank. I found cool people to que with in this last off season that were fun to pvp is all. ive never had a problem with premades and most of the premades u guys prolly faced were jus randoms from guild trying to get guild missions done …no comms ..no strat… U guys lost plain n simple

Bump if u think anet should bring back 5-man que for rank.please no cry babies saying thats unfair…having builds that completely overpowers others n leave no counterplay is unfair. im in a pvp guild n i cant pvp with a full team comprising of jus my friends but instead i get to pvp with a randoms who cant tell home from far even if home was their mouth and far was their kitten..this is in gold..thats some bronzee kitten. bring back 5 man que so my hemorrhoids doesn’t go out of control.

sooo I logged in today to see this awesome quiver [Fire Quiver Backpack] and I thought cooooollllllllll, this would go awesome with [Flamewalker Armguards], can you guys leave items in the gem store permanently?

Auroraborealis.7310:

I have no idea how this spec could possibly be overlooked. Its not even questionable, condi engi is the most unbalanced spec i’ve ever seen in a game. I’ve been playing one for the past month or so, doing over 1 mill condition damage per game quite often, something i was unable to do on mes and thief.

After a few weeks of melting people with this spec, i went back to classes that are a little more engaging than just loading up your pistol with napalm and mashing 1-5. Its Just way way to easy to one shot just about any target. Other than some specs that have tremendous condi clear this spec will inflict massively overpowered conditions in a split second with VERY minimal effort.

There is many power specs that cant even come close to the amount of condi burst this spec can dish out. There is absolutely no logical explanation for the ridiculous amount of damage condi engi can do. Its not even glass cannon, you can build condi engi up like a tank, especially if you take scapper. Some classes just dont have enough condi clear to manage the frequency and strength of this extremely potent damage type.

Im just kinda mad that my ele takes so much effort to pump out its little fresh air damage, yet this beast can just DoT and drop any target effortlessly. I hope this is addressed in some fashion.

reminds me of a friend i had, he played condi engi…then he made the mistake of taking on my smokescale …OHHHHH WHHYYYY…..HE WASN’T REEEADDYYY!!!!!!

lol im fine with how it is rn, i mean if u have an afker the only thing id like is to have a team vote give up option during any time of the match

Don’t play ranked if u have a child around to deal with, when i play in general i have always a person to look after my 3 year old son

Either stick to solo games rather than GW2 or always queue as a premade if you can’t cope with people having to leave their keyboard at times.

Well yeah ! Good idea ! I have 2 children to take care off, a private teacher in my house for my oldest son,a plumber in my kitchen fixing stuff, and what else ? oh yeah im expecting a friend to come by so what do i do ? Lets open Gw2 and play ranked while i am waiting.. perfect !

You know.. why do you even seriously commit yourself in pvp and read pvp forums when it is perfectly fine by you for someone to go afk while playing ranked ?

its a game dude..there is no commitment
if you are soooooo salty make a team for that commitment you want towards pvp

I play druid, thief, guardian and rev for pvp and wvw and yes.
Druid is currently op along with guardian. and the weakest is the thief

What makes druid particularly juicy as a target to interrupt is that his pet is right there to get interrupted too. So if you interrupt him and his pet, with mistrust that’s an easy 8 stacks of confusion shared between them for the double interrupt

Good times.

~All things relative.

Problem is, I always got 3 stacks of stability and pet is gonna evade every attack while using smoke assault. and I don’t even spend a minute to kill a thief.
just simply send pet -> cloud -> wisp in -> swap GS -> bash -> turn on ‘protect me’
-> maul, swoop -> even if the thief trying to steal or break stun and attack me, pretect me is activates and additianal 2 seconds of stun for certain death.
but this is not particular for thief but every other classes include bow rangers.
and you can even remove several burst condi bombs there you have trooper rune and lots of shouts and celestial form, which is make you almost invincible to condies

If you playing bow ranger, try Staff/ GS or Sword, Warhorn/Staff ranger
It is just OP at 1vs1 and even easily capable with 1vs3

wow 1v3 rlly…thats jus exaggerated..only way for that to happen is if the whole team doesnt have damage at all n thats a big if…i destroy druids on a condi cheese thief….war gimmick rifle melts them like butter on toast…plz stop crying..i dont play druid, its jus that i find what ur typing to be utter amber nonsense

they were probably rocking sparkly pve gear n your comp couldnt handle its sheer awesomeness

i wait 30….y is urs soo short

so i just want to set the facts straight, you want to make matchmaking/matchups better even if it means increasing the que times seeing as it is already long as it is and you are blaming players for wanting to class stack as bad matchmaking/matchups…did i get everything?

Saiyan.1704:

The best of Matchmaking S4.

Red Team
2duo, +1 +1 +1
Blue Team
2 duo, +1 +1 +1
Final Score: won by 300 pnts

No One swapped to DH.
No One swapped to Necros.
This is how matchmaking placed these teams because matchmaking didn’t know how to split these players efficiently.

There was indeed 1 very low mmr player on our team that could have skewed the results but when it comes to matchmaking like this (dh > necro so why place 2 on other team?) there’s just no excuses, matchmaking needs to get better.

Yes we know DH is flavor of the month especially after nerfs from other classes but matchmaking CAN be smarter allocating players between Red and Blue.

lol i was on your team saiyan…i was the guy that typed out “FULL FORCE” in map chat…i swapped to guardian cuz i thought it be funny stacking traps on traps..dont blame matchmakin for ridiculous matchups jus because u load in last or dont realize the switch,,smh @ ppl who always blame matchmaking first.

Highest i got was 11

Lol i run a power build and no rev can facetank my damage… Its a l2p issue

run a full mm team

Eponet.4829:

Given that the sword is the highest damage weapon that rangers have access to, and that their off-hands are all full offense, while the greatsword has very low damage with multiple defensive or crowd control abilities, one aspect of each of them feels like it was switched around. The greatsword is the weapon that charges into combat, while the sword is the one that disengages.

If the purpose of the defensive weapon is to be swapped to on ranged builds when an enemy gets close, it seems like it would make sense that the ability to disengage from an enemy would be put on the weapon made to buy time and disable the opponent. But, instead, the greatsword charges at the opponent, while Greatsword damage is quite a bit worse than they’d get from just using the bow up until the last second.

Meanwhile, the sword, the weapon that has enough of a reward to justify using it over a ranged weapon, with which you’d actively be desiring to get into melee combat with instead was given the movement skill designed for disengaging from the enemy. It feels feels as though swoop and Hornet Sting were swapped at some point given how at odds the two are at the purpose of their attached weapon, but how fitting they are toward the purpose of the other.

Can we pls report people for afk without getting game-crashs until next saison starts.
I know u have humor Anet, but pls this is kitten… =

who told ya to be a snitch
snitches who act like kittenes get stitches loloolololololool

id ban w/e class u main

no im not even supporting this idea…its sounds bad…rlly bad

i think hes counting beast kills

except beast only reward 25.

And it’ll be the same with daredevil’s elite finisher anyway. General rule is if you see mesmer or thief you don’t engage the beast.

I think we have enough trouble with guarantee stomps everywhere to make this suggestion terrible. That’s one less reason to bring a glass power spec…

150 divided by 25…6 beasts a full game if game reaches that far…basic math…This is why anet devs don’t take us seriously

i think hes counting beast kills

I smurf lol …. i smurfd soo much im literally turning blue
…actually please help me… Im thinking this could be a serious medical issue

Impact.2780:

Time a skill for before they land, not after they land. Aim to hit the non-evade frame during the skill, not the gap between that and the next evade, which will almost always result in an “evaded!” PvP is awkward to learn in atm, because the skill gaps are so huge. You can reliably land something vs a class for days, then go against someone that is actually good at it and miss everything resulting in losing when normally you wouldn’t have done that, you’ve just been “trained to” by the bads.

…this is THE WORST advice i have ever read…to anyone who read his message, please ignore…contains more kittens than what i put in my toilet. The easiest way to counter is thru the use of auras, traps, pets or just sustain.

set your pet to attack…then go power ranger so when you skillfully spam 1 you can deal more damage

i agree, i want norn elite specs to be useable!

ft > grenades

lol uncle salty, pvp is perfectly balanced…theres no such thing as aa spammers…pssshhhh

lol ..this from a thief that also didn’t reroll….i sense the heartseeker is strong in you.

Anet you guys had it right in guild wars 1 where once you solo q and won a match your whole team progressed to another match and this process would keep repeating till your team would lose and disband. I was pvping and was with “the squad.” The problem was no of us talked but dammm the rotations were just beautiful and at the end of match i accidentally clicked go to lobby out of habit. Alright the question is will we see gw1 matchmaking system in gw2 in between leagues?

lb/gs is totally viable

i like to see this removed too, it has no place in pvp

i had a thief on my team running “venom support,” he did no damage..ran everytime someone goes near him and most of the time he was nowhere in sight [didnt cap]….please specify support

i dont play stronghold as much but i play alot of spvp, sign me up

Inoki.6048:

People being abusive in games isn’t something new, but should be a thing of the past. The time when ANet started to pay more attention to this issue was yesterday. The level of abusive behaviour in the game has reached greater magnitudes as I’ve witnessed in the last few days, especially in PVP, obviously because people think they can get away with whatever vulgar attitude.

As a paying customer I did not pay for a hostile environment overfilled with immature dorks.

While there is a profanity filter option in settings, many have it disabled simply because they don’t mind the occasional f* words, but the level of cussing some people demonstrate is getting out of control and requires heavy moderation.

What I propose:

1st violation: written warning
2nd violation: complete suspension of the account (based on proof)

Harsh? Not compared to how some treat others. It’s time to teach people some manners, and what better way than having them pay for their behaviour.

…as a paying customer
nonononnonono u already paid
2nd words cant hurt you
3rd man up

oh before anyone tries to tell me just swap pets, plz just stop there. I run electric wyvern as my second pet n i always swap to that after my intial burst with smokescale for that healing interrupt.

seriously…..is this an early april fools???? wheres my smoke assault. I dont want this smokefield. If i wanted to blind and stealth id roll a thief. Now i got a pet that hides instead of bursting down an enemy on demand before they reach me. smh anet.

Ranger Danger!!!

Earix.5684:

Zeres.8713:

Please keep the f2 how it is.. It makes the pet extremely good for hybrid specs in pvp (because you can decide when it bursts) The smoke field doesn’t do much for the player... and the pet is already pretty tanky.

Ps. The druid is great Irenio, people complaining just aren’t playing it right.

LOL, ye right, well you should read this :
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Combo

Smoke Field on auto-cast harms the game, it automatically covers IMPORTANT fields (water covered by your automatic smoke field, no thx). It NEEDS to be on F2.

bleh on the smokefield. i actually like the smoke assault, to be honest blinding bolts n stealth vs when u want to burst with your pet. ill always go for the burst and i f i want to stealth and blind, ill roll thief. i want to fight with my pet not hide with it…keep your combos to yourself!

when we do finish exploring, getting all the poi, vistas and waypoints to get world completion, does it unlock all the waypoints for all and any character u make in the future?
….if not please bump this thread so devs will looks at this n maybe put n this under consideration.

sorry guys if i post this in the wrong pace. I main a ranger n i was digging “we heal as one,” <3 the might stackin in pve. I even got rune and sigil of strength. I could finally deal awesome damage from far… gotta say this nerf was a killjoy. i mean it wasnt op you have blinds, blocks, dodge, reflects..etc. If you got to nerf it, nerf it in pvp. Sorry again if i posted this in wrong place.
