Mesmer Moa vs. Minion Necro a little much

I feel like moa’ing a class with passive pets, such as minion master / spirit ranger, should dismiss all active pets for the duration of the moa, but reset the CD on those skills.
All pets that were killed before the moa would keep the same CD duration left.

That way, moa would still be effective against pet builds, but not op.

Summoning pets after the moa can still be interrupted, promoting better play from both sides.

A quick question.

I’ve almost finished leveling my thief for wvw, and am going for a dagger/dagger backstabbing build.

My question is, does flanking strikes stack with side strikes?
And if they do stack is it worth using instead of either mug, or the 50% fall damage traits that I see in most builds?

Is there any other good options for the last 10 trait points?

Thank you in advance,

Kudos.

S/s is great for shatter builds as it scales well with power and both the clone from block and the phantasm stay close to your target, which Is where they need to be if you wanna shatter burst someone down.

No point in having you phantasm run 1000+ before shattering.

Pistol is better for phantasm builds.

I’m thinking about doing some spvp, but obviously can’t customise my gear selection as much in wvw.
Which amulet and jewel should I use and is runes of air still recommended?

I am using shattercat mist build.

Thanks,
Kudos.

Edit: Just spent a couple hours using zerkers amulet with knights jewel, with divinity runes.
I did pretty good but it feels like something aint right, dunno what it is.

Confusion Nerf: Move on to Power for WvW?

I use shatter builds quite effectively against large groups/zergs.
If you try to hit a Zerg front on, your clones won’t get far enough to shatter, due to aoe focused to the front, but hitting a Zerg from the side or back, you can devastate it.
Bare in mind, most squishy, glass cannon eles, will stay at the back.

Try using dodges, phase retreat, blink and ileap to quickly move through a group and hit the back lines.

Confusion officially dead in wvw after patch

I’m pretty kittening glad it got nerfed into the ground.
My guild is always asking me to run glamor builds to kill zergs.
Now I can go back to my shatter build and actually have fun in wvw.

Thank you devs, me love you long time

This is what made me look twice. Notice the e-mail address it was sent from is noreply@guildwars2.com and hotmail confirmed it as in my contact list.

However, hovering over the links showed that it was trying to redirect me to another website which proved it was fake, but they are getting smarter.

Any way of blocking these, but still allowing guild wars 2 emails?

What laurel ascended gear do you recommend for the original shatter cat build?

Having problems with lag and desyncs atm, but from what ive played of it, it’s an awesome build.

Thank you.

Info Request: Error 7

I had this issue as from a patch 2 weeks ago.
Tried everything i could think of and nothing improved the issue.

I was constantly desyncing, skills queuing and not firing, mobs attacking me at a different location then where i was.

Sometimes i would rubber band back to where the server thought i was after 10-20 secs (usually when i used phase retreat or blink on my Mesmer), but most of the time i would d/c with error 7.

I have just reinstalled windows with a full format to my hard-drive, installed avast antivirus and installed guild wars 2, and the problem has more or less disappeared.
I still lag now and again, but i think that’s mostly due to low signal strength and people on Facebook, than a problem with guild wars.

I know that this isn’t a very convenient fix, and may not work for others, but maybe a start for people who have lost hope.
I wish everyone the best of luck and hopefully see you in-game soon.

Edit: I am in wales, UK. Using talk talk adsl broadband and played for months without any issue at all.
