Is there even a meta spvp build atm that uses Viper?
I mean, I play a Viper Reaper in WvW and the damage it does it pretty insane but simply trying to replicate the build in sPvP and equipping the Viper amulet doesn’t even bring me close to the damage I normally do while still having all the disadvantages of Viper, aka being able to spiked down and deleted in a matter of seconds.
So Viper in sPvP for my builds? No thanks, I’d rather equip the Carrion amulet all day. Much more survivablity and since people in team settings like to spam cleanses out the whaazo, expertise stat on Viper seems mostly useless as well. Rather have a bunch of vitality to scale up my health and Reaper shroud hp.
Ah yes, that seems rather strange indeed. Especially since it seems to take alot more effort to get then the ls3 map backpacks. (never made one for that reason)
Well in that sense, Dire would be better then Trailblazer. And yes they do get cleansed, but one person can only have so much cleanses and necro is pretty good at kittenting them out non stop. So when they stick, they start to chunk players really quick.
Just rework conditions to what power builds have to do, grab multiple stats to build up power, not just 1 and rest tanky stats.
Do people even use trailblazer on necro? Cause it costs an ungodly amount of money thanks to maguuma lilly. Meta wvw reaper uses celestial, I’ve seen some reapers go a mix of carrion, viper and trailblazer backpiece (which you dont need to craft) + 1 other toughness item such as a ring to push the armor over 2100, which is a mere 200 above base. I personally prefer full viper gear + sinister backpiece for 100% more duration on chill and bleeds for solo roaming.
Why? They are just as glassy as full Zerker specs if they play with Viper and a pretty good counter to toughness stackers, while my thief can 3 hit people with dagger and is a pretty good counter to people who don’t stack toughness.
They seem more or less on par with eachother only both counter other builds obviously.
GS/LB Power druid was one of my favorite builds to play when HoT came out, haven’t touched my Ranger for a solid year though. It had decent amounts of stealth, a relatively low cd knockback, good damage and that annoying root proc that can be straight up lethal to some classes when applied at the right moment.
Druid doesnt have much going for it when it comes to hard defenses, just signet of stone. itys not like they have double armor with 10 stacks of stab, or mistform, or a blind, or insane mobility with their elite.
Idk i just autoattack them off, its on by default anyways.
Yup, every once in a while you get someone who feels powerless against sword #3, even though the burst is not even instant and has a cast time (hint hint ^^)
Yep, that how it was in BWE and the skill was basicly useless, even with its 10 second cd back then. It now has a 12 second cd, wich feels pretty good and if you paid attention to the game updates you would know they nerfed shiro’s teleport you can actually kite the #3 skill, if you know what you and the revenant are doing.
So far i’m seeing more and more people getting used to the revenant and its skills, even the baddies are adapting and thinking up combos they can do to completely nullify #3’s damage, even realizing you dont need to stop every #3, only at crucial times, so it hardly classifies as OP to me.
also, if you nerf this, then what does the rev has going for it on the sword set? autoattack you to death, sounds like fun gameplay yes indeed lol
While i liked having the guard stacks, i think its overall better for the game that they where removed.
I mean i really liked them, but as someone else stated it gave a pretty big advantage that wasent needed in the first place, also literally all my wvw rank points went into guard stacks when ranking up slowly and i much rather had them spend on ram mastery or w/e, something group orientated, rather then personal (useless) power.
Sorry OP, but i’ve been following the revenant closely in development and spend hours reading every single big feedback thead after each BWE, only can say that stating lies is not going to help you.
Here’s a little hint on how to fight Rev: they have strong cooldowns but are vulnareble in between those moments, catch a Rev when he is waiting for energy or cooldowns and they pretty much cant do anything to stop the incoming damage.
My suggestion: Play a Rev and learn how they work. It will help you greatly in fighting them.
If this behaviour wasent intended, im pretty sure anet would have disallowed any form of z-axis teleports when they redid the teleporting mechanics a few patches back.
The only class that can spam z-axis teleports is thief and they have become trash tier when HoT launched.
pretty sure i could spend the full duration in the trap and not die to a medi guard as long as i have enough ini for a black powder or two, and maybe a shadowshot.
I love playing my ranger in my guild group and all (ascended zerker gear in all slots) but when the going gets tuff we all log our warriors and guardians.
i do like Evis builds, but i think they are better suited for WvW roaming as in sPvP your stats are way lower and Evis doesnt almost oneshot anything that isent wearing heavy armor.
also, if you fall victim to ‘zerging’ it usually means you need to rotate a little faster, just leave the point when you are in a 1vs1 and some other enemy +1’s you (it means he joins in on the 1vs1)
just straight up leave, go to another point, dont let them kill you and come back like a minute later to retake the point. keep this rotation up and you should have less ‘zerg’ problems
if they keep chasing just kite them around the entire map, if you play with sword mainhand or a GS, its pretty doable, if you have both literally no class will be able to catch up besides a thief maybe.
this is my current build, try it, you might like it. its a pretty good mix of damage and survivability
I do think a female charr can look ‘sexy’ tho its usually when they wear armor that reveals alot of their skin (fur?).
There is even a pair heavy armor legs that doesnt have panties on female charr. Not a huge fan of that set tho, it looks more like a human thing.
