Guild Wars 2

I don’t understand your surprise. Multitudes of such cases in Gold 1 / 2. Why would you need a video ? Do you think people are making stuff up ?

Amazing post. ’It’s not over till it’s over’ and even when it is, a lesson for all afkers / flamers out there.

Gold 1/2

-Thief going lord solo 2-3 times consecutively and dying…by the mobs… In the end we lost 470-500.

-Warrior charging into DH traps (2 DHs in the enemy team), and dying after 2-3 seconds. At mid. All game.

-Mesmer (me) going far to try 1v2 for a bit, then portal back mid. 3 people follow far and they stay there for 1-2 mins 3v1ing an engi. Portal was wasted and 2 people left to defend mid and close vs 4.

-Condi thief following mesmer (for a grudge?) around map, always dying 1v1, but never changing tactics. His team was constantly 2-3 capped.

‘Back then’, when ? Bunker meta ? Celestial d/d ele ? Now pvp has more amulets than ever, even if it is not customizable with foods and gear like wvw is, even if elite specs are more or less mandatory. You see the past with colored glasses.

Manthas.6234:

In short, it fine! At least for me.
A lot of games ended in such a way, that in retrospect – if I hadn’t screwed that one time, we would have won. Lately, I’m kind of wishing for a few blow-outs, because matches like this tend to become too stressful.

This means you are getting better and you are able to tip the balance if you focus an play well. It doesn’t say anything about the matchmaking,

Mesmer. At the moment, even with minimal knowledge of the class and provided that you don’t spam your rotations you will survive and probably win most 1v1s and even if you don’t you will portal and +1 somewhere else.

Just be careful for the staff thief hard counter, that kills your illusions and for any big dpser catching you off guard with no cooldowns.

Worst thing is thieves not understanding their role, e.g.
-spending most game fighting and dying at mid.
-never decaping far.
-full caping far while 2-3 enemy respawns are incoming.
-+1 bad matcups (e.g. engi) for more than 30 seconds, while the rest of the team is outnumbered elsewhere e.t.c.

It’s even worse that they refuse to learn and believe they are actually good if you point it out to them.

How do you manage 1.9k power, 800 condi, 2.85k armor and 22k hp ? I’ve been trying different stat combinations for a while now…

Thanks for all the answers.

@CrashTheGrey, 1500 power, around 1500 condi is something I also tried but the difference between 1k and 1.5k power, didn’t seem so impactfull. Maybe I need to experiment more on that.

@eldenbri, nice video.

@Magolith, 1.9k power and 800 condi power with a splash of marauder looks to be close to what I am after. I’ll give this a try and I’ll get rid of the staff.

Hello,

In wvw I’v been playing a condi roamer for a while now ( the meta build with some personal preferences ) and while the survivability is excellent (over the top maybe), the build lacks pressure.

I’ve been trying some different stats to bring the build closer to its pvp counterpart, but even if I use full viper’s armor and weapons, power doesn’t go above 1.55k. If I also add viper trinkets , the build cannot survive wvw.

So the question is, has anyone tried a hybrid power/condi build with any measure of success in wvw, or our only viable options are full marauder burst and slow drag full condi ?

major lag issues since last patch for me as well, pve or www I ping at 180-200ms (EU Desolation)

Same problem,

EU Desolation Server.

Hello all,

Been playing gw2 since November and currently I am looking for a guild for me (3 fully-geared toons, ele, war, mesmer) and my friend (X fully geared toons he is an altholic).

My only requirement is that it is a mature guild with 18+ guild leaders and no hard trolling to other guild members. I dislike swearing, if it’s offensive.

Server is EU-Desolation, I have been playing wvw mainly, but I would like to find a solid group to farm pve instances with.

I am married with kid so although usually I play till my brain fries, rl commitments do exist and they are serious

Please don’t link guild registration forms and the like, a couple of days is usually enough for the guild/candidate to determine if a match is found.
