Guild Wars 2

Mine isn’t edgy at all in my opinion. I hope he is elegant and sober. I’m not a big fan of edgy/emo like characters in general. Actually, the lore of our class can explain why a lot of people chose such a style. What really make me laugh is all these eles/mesmers and guardian with a “deathkiller of doom hell” skin.

Yep I already did it, I don’t understand…

Hello,

I have a problem. Obviously I play an elementalist, and I switch my elements by pressing alt+a for fire / alt+e for water/ alt+f for air and alt+c for earth.

When I’m moving, I can switch fire, water or earth without any problem. But when I want to press alt+f to switch air, I can’t. I’m forced to stop pressing ZQSD (my buttons to move, like everyone else I think) to switch.

I don’t know why. It used to work perfectly before the expac. Is someone able to help me? It’s really more than annoying, since as an elementalist, if I don’t move, I simply die, in PvP, PvE and even WvW.

Please, I need your help. Thank you by advance.

Yep, go chronomancer (mesmer spec) tank

Reference to GW1.

People are always complaining on this forum… It’s amazing to see how unhappy and sad about everything you always are.

New specializations: “Sounds crappy and really bad. The class I don’t play seems to be better and broken OP!”

Mounts: “Seriously? Is this a joke?! I’d rather prefer run all this gigantic desert by myself than using your uggly mounts!”

Glinding in WvW: “What?! Is this a joke? I have never heard something that stupid in my whole life! It must be an april joke!”

Seriously, this is very depressing to read the majority of people in this forum.

Anet, if you read me, I want to tell you that a lot of people are really happy and impressed by the way you let your communication and your game. A lot can’t wait to play your new expansion and love all the concepts you developed for this. I support you since GW1 because I love your lore and your approach of a MMORPG, with ni grinding and a horizontal evolution of our characters instead of always rushing the new better stuff. Skill is and will always be the major factor to win in GW instead of stuffs like in WoW and all it’s clones.

Your game isn’t perfect of course, you can still improve some things, but no game is perfect after all. I believe you’ll work hard to improve your game and add fantastic features, because you’re a team composed of passionates working to develop a game for other passionates.

Thanks Anet.

Charr of course! What else?

You don’t have to feel sorry or anything for your taunts.

Since they attacked you and you rekted them easily, they deserved it.

Don’t forget that the taunt is a true part of the PvP. It could annoy people and force them to commit a lot of mistakes. It exist a huge difference between a troll player and someone who uses taunts efficiently in my opinion.

GG, this was a good video.

I’m sorry, currently the necro is OP as f***. This is not a shame, but in my opinion it’s annoying. This is not fun at all to play a god (of death actually).

Power reaper, condition reaper, surviviability… We are too strong. You have to admit it, because it’s obvious that we’ll be nerfed one day.

Please… It’s really easy for us to kill everything. Honnestly I’m in favor of a nerf, simply because I’m bored to see a lot of “lords of darkness” who have no idea of the class, but still can EXPLODE their foes because the necro is IMO the strongest class currently…

Necros/rangers are everywhere, and this is not for no reason…

You don’t need to ask for an efficient build. You play necro. You can solo everything in zerk (I do that myself)

I imagined something based on celestial + traveler runes to be really multitasking actually, I mean able to hit properly in both physical and condition damages.

Hi,

I wonder if a necromancer (reaper actually but both may be good) would be efficient with a celestial set.

Mostly for a WvW use (roaming mainly I suppose…) but why not in PvE too!

What do you think about it?

Hi,

As I said in the title, I’m interested in a build to roam, and to be able to kill or at least to survive 1vx.

I wondered if the celestial build is still a thing or not at all… I’m a little bit lost!

Anyway I like all weapons, both conditions damages and direct damages… I just come back for a long pause, and I totally ignore the full potential of our friend the tempest!

Thanks in advance for your help.

I don’t know if you noticed, but the amount of rangers/druids is amazing compared to the other classes. Maybe Anet is trying to spread the people over other professions.

Still, even if we’re nerfed every time, even if we have “a bad class”, which is not at all my opinion, the ranger/druid is still really appealing for many players. Maybe you have a false opinion of the ranger.

Personnally I see the ranger (mostly the druid actually) as a really strong class, able to play support, damage dealer (with or without conditions), able to deal with both range and melee fights, able to shine in group content… And to me the pet is not that bad…

To me, the druid is maybe a little bit too strong. Just my personnal opinion as a druid. The ranger however is still a way behind.

I am honnestly a necromancer, Leinhart Nox, if you want to talk directly to me IG…

Balerios.3679:

Go back to your ELe necro is not the class for u

Why the necro isn’t a class for me? I played it since the release with no problem at all…

I just give my personal feedback about the reaper. Too strong, not enough challenging. If you like to play an easy class, it’s OK for me, I don’t judge you… I just want to launch a real debate about the reaper. Now, a lot of people are necromancer because the prof is strong. Before HoT, we were a huge minority IG, rejected by the mass because of our “lack of DPS and general utility”.

The “mass reroll effect” isn’t a coincidence… Just admit it. It’s better to communicate with the devs for a correct nerf than a surprise one…

I tried Elem/tempest ranger/druid and chronomancer/mesmer by myself, and talked with my guild about the other ones.

I’m actually interested in every classes, but not as my necro… I have more than 500 hours with both my elem and my mesmer, and probably 100/150h with my ranger

Hi,

I play necromancer since the release, my main is now my reaper, of course.

It’s a way too easy to play through the jungle, not as challenging as with an other profession. The reaper is amazing, maybe too amazing IMO. It’s fun to play, but too easy. Please Anet, offer us more challenge, nerf us.

I’m not interested in the other professions, I don’t want to reroll.

The fact that people love the necromancer/reaper isn’t the problem actually. Of course I dont like the “clone effect” but mainly I don’t like when a class is a way more represented than many others because this difference shows a problem with the game balance.

I know this is just the beginning of the release, so people don’t know the full potential of every classes, still this point annoys me…

Yeah, now everyone is playing reaper. Before the expansion, we were a rare class, which was good, because I didn’t feel like a clone. Now, I look at the new content, and I see tons of necro/reapers running everywhere. YAY!

To be more serious, as a necro main I understand the hype. However, I don’t understand why the others specs are “ignored” compared to the reaper. The tempest for example, he’s amazingly strong and multitasking, able of incredible things, especially in a group.
I guess (and I hope) people will realize that the other profs are also really fun to play and capable of amazing results. I’m afraid we’ll be too much reapers for raids and on the other hand not enough of the other classes to have balanced and efficient raid groups.

I agree. Our spells are beautiful but not enough empressive. I mean generally we don’t feel the power of mother nature

Significant improvements? Why? The scrapper is a really good spec! Moreover, the engineer is, I think, the only profession able to do everything. I mean you can play long/short range, with AoE, direct damages or conditions damages, you can heal, stealth, control the battlefield…

I’m not at all a fan of the archetype, but IMO the enginner/scrapper is the strongest prof of GW2. “Enginner on GW2” is the definition for the word “multitasking” on the Harraps dictionnary ^^’.

Wow that’s imrpessive how the chronomancer is reaching the top of the strawpoll lol

That’s interesting to compare both strawpolls (even if the second one, first created is uncomplete) because both show that the berzerker, the daredevil and the tempest are very unpopular.

Once more, I didn’t tested the beta… I don’t really know why. I looked some videos about the berzerker and the tempest and both look really strong, with heavy damages… However I know nothing (John Snow) about the daredevil… Do you have any idea why the three specs are less chosen?

Surprisingly the chronomancer isn’t very popular! That’s surprising because the class look really strong in pvp and even in pve! the “come back with all my CDs” mecanic is really amazing!

I’ll add a new strawpoll with a "vanilla"choice =)

This strawpoll is good for Anet I guess, it would allows to see what are the community’s preferences and try to improve the others specs to balance the repartition at the release

Currently, druid/herald/reaper are by far above the others… I didn’t test the beta but it’s maybe because of a problem with balance.

It’s unfunny,in my opinion to play a clone. I main my necro for a while, and stayed stuck with her despite the up/nerfs. It was a good experience to play a less popular class, because generally, people who played the necro were really good with him and it was really interesting to discuss and share tricks and strategies between each other.

I’m actually afraid of the hype on the herald/druid/reaper. Because a lot of newcomers will try, fail and go on this forum to cry, which could explode the balance of these classes. I don’t know what you’re thinking about it, but IMO it’s not a good point to see a huge majority run a few classes and let the others behind.

I’m a little bit surprised because I thought that the tempest and the berzerker would have more players, because to me both professions are currently the most played

I think the berzerker is insanely strong! I don’t know much about the tempest but the anmations are really beautiful, and the class is still the definition of multitasking

Personally, I’ll continue to play my necromancer (my main) as a reaper, but I’m also really interested in the chronomancer and the druid! I must confess I no have a real idea of the revenant/herald, but the class looks really fun and I guess a lot of people will play them and stay stuck with them

Hi!

I would know what class you will main at the release of HoT!

I’m simply curious but I guess it could be interesting to have a global point of view of the community.

I’ve created a strowpoll to have a better view!
(New strawpoll, with the “vanilla” choice, which mean your’re not interested in the specs)
http://strawpoll.me/5685681

This strawpoll is without the “vanilla choice”, but could already show an idea of the community preferences!

Hi there,

I would like to know if it will be doable to change our race. My necromancer is a human, and I would change for an asura…

With the expansion, I thought than Anet may imagine a way for us to have the possibility to change that. I don’t know why but a lot of people refuse to agree this idea of change. However, I have completed the 100% exploration once, I think it’s totally stupid and unproductive to do it again with the same profession… Moreover, I’m a student, learning 3 differents languages, which mean I don’t have much time to play ^^. I know I’m not the only one on this situation, and I also know that a lot of people are, like me, concerned with this concept of “I don’t have a lot of time to play, so it’s really idiot to must create and reexplore the map with the SAME class only for a new skin”, which is the key interest on GW.

Other games already have this oportunity. We can do that on WoW, and even on Dofus! I don’t understand why Anet can’t offer this service yet.

I’ve read that it’s because of our personnal story… Because of the choices at the beginning of our character. Actually, i’m not a programmer, so I’ve no idea at all of the “technical things”, but is that not possible to just choose again the differents choices?

Thanks for your attention, I look forward to read your comments about that!

I don’t know I’m not sure of the offensive druid builds effectiveness, mostly in PvE. Maybe it could work in PvP… I’m still a little bit puzzled about it^^

Better wait the feedback of this week end I guess!

Still, I’m convinced that people are playing ranger because of the hype of the “dedicated healer”

So for you people are not planning their expansion? Just playing the “new meta”?

It’s only me or everyone is rolling a ranger? I don’t understand the hype concerning the druid. I mean I’m really happy about this specialization, mostly because I love to play heal, but generally people don’t.

I know the role is “new” on GW2, the dedicated heal I mean, but I still think this hype is curious. The necro, the war or the mesmer for example will propably have a HUGE DPS, which is the most prefered role usually!

In your opinion, will the hype around the druid continue or people will just turn back to play DPS?

(Because it’s stupid to main a healer if everyone already play one^^)

Hi there!

I’m a main necromancer but I also love to play elementalist, especially for a WvW roaming in group or solo.

Consequently I must stuff my ele to be more efficient. I have a question about it:

Is that better to have celestial gear and zerk/knight armor or the contrary? I don’t really know and I would like to know the answer before start his stuff!

Moreover, I’ll also do fractals with him. So, the question is also for a PvE content.

By advance, Thanks for your answers!
PS: I’m sorry if I commited some mistakes, I’m not an english native.

Teleport like mesmer or elementalists.

After all, we’re also magicians!

Ok so can I use a non celestial armor with for example celestial gears or all without celestial is also viable?

I’ll have to chose a new gear soon and I want to do the best choice =) (Probably a ring ^^)

I forgot to say that I need informations for a build in general. I like all the elem’s weapons, and I like to change them really often… I hope a stuff can cover all the differents builds =)

Lovely.

Who said that I play DD?

Actually I like to play staff and S/F. I also like DD but less often than staff, even in solo roaming.

Hi all,

All is in the title.

I’ve an Elem and I love her but I don’t know if she can be viable in roaming whithout the celestial stuff…What do you think about that?

I mained necro but the class became too much popular and faceroll IMO, so I became elementalist lol. I’m still a beginner in elementalism and I’m a little bit puzzled about my elem. She’s quite hard to play and really interesting, but I can’t pay her the celestial set.

Thank you for your attenton and your future answers!

Thanks for your advices!

Yeah, I already changed my game client to the english version! However, I didn’t know the option that consist in disable the “show french only”

I still don’t know what server I should choose, but at least I can communicate more easily with foreigners, so thanks again!

If everyone else have ideas, don’t hesitate to answer!

Hi there!

I need your help! I explain:

I am a french player, student in international trade. I really have to improve my english because I wanna become bilingual french/english. Well, I come back on GW2 and I took a decision: change my server. I currently am on Jade Sea. I like this server but it’s a french community. I want to find an english/american one to train and improve my english.

So, what is the best server in your opinion?

If you are needed some more informations, I’m interested in PvP and WvW. PvE is in my opinion a joke on GW2 ^^‘.
I’ll look for a guild because It’s better to speak to improve my accent, learn more about foreigners, and simply because the game is more fun with vocal!

Obviously, I’m not perfect in english, so sorry for my mistakes! But practice is a best way of learning than any teachers!

Thanks for your attention, and your answers.

Hi there! I’m a french Elementalist who need your help!

I’m back on the game since 2 weeks, and I decided to play with my elementalist… But I don’t understand why, everyone on the McM can destroy me! Before my periode of break, I fought and win against 2 or more people, but no I can’t do anything… Thiefs are thiefs (they just one shot me), I lost against rangers, guardians… Why?!

When I play with my mesmer, I haven’t any difficulties to roam solo, but with my elem…

I don’t want to be the kikooroxxorofthedead, I simply want to roam in solo and understand my mistakes, or up of the others classes ^^’. I play D/D or S/D (classical 0/10/0/30/30)

Please, can you help me?

Sorry if I commited mistakes on my message, as I said at the beginning of my post, I’m not english ^^’

The music on your video is such horrible xD

You’re skilled, but I don’t like the video because of the music x)

I really don’t like 2 things on the mesmer:

-The first is the fact we’re nerfed every patchs, and reduce to play (approximatly) the same build, except if we played conditions damages ( I play like this, and this is awesome ^^’)

-The second thing I don’t like on the mesmer is we don’t have permanent moove speed bonus, contrary to every other professions (maybe exept guardian)
-Elementalist have the sigil
-Thief too
-Ranger too
-Necromancer too
-Engineer can have a permanent moove speed bonus when he uses weapon kit
-Warrior can have a permanent moove speed bonus when he uses melee weapon
- Guardian: I don’t know, I don’t know this prof enough ^^’

So… Anet, please, can you think about that?!
