Guild Wars 2

what if the cap for tickets was faster to get, but the pips based on your rank changes so that it applies after you reach cap to get repeatable chest for lesser amount of tickets?

Then you’ll hear less of the " it’s not fair that I’m lower rank and can’t reach cap cause I get less pips" but the " I invested my time in wvw to get these ranks " still applies

I’m running the same food, swapped out my berserker stance for stam sig for 90% regen, I’m liking it so far

Pretty sure it doesn’t stack with the food, unless changed lately

I guess I’m just not use to having the endurance regen from the food, signet, or str tree, but it feels nice with all the little spurts you get from might

WUROCKET.5182:

Use give might sigils and strength runes with GS and you literally have infinite dodges.

I swapped out my sigil of energy for battle, haven’t noticed a difference in the endurance and dodges I get, but I get a tiny heal and might now

Elegie.3620:

That is an interesting trait for sure, tried it and liked it, it helps the sustain part and it’s easy to fuel – plus it synergizes nicely with the dodge-based gameplay.

Strength warrior nearly feels like an elite spec now, aside from that trait the relocation of Axe Mastery is great, plus the enhancement of physical trait and skills (especially Bull’s Charge, just wow) feels very good. I had tons of fun playing tonight.

Quite eager to get spellbreaker now that STR has some sustain option. Maybe STR / DIS / Spellbreaker will be playable…

Also, food for thought:

I went WvWing as:

• GS hydro/leeching / Axe bloodlust/ Shield energy
• Mostly Zerk / durability
• STR: Peak Performance / Forceful GS / Might Makes Right
• DEF: Shield Mastery / Defy Pain / Last Stand
• DIS: Warrior’s Sprint / Brawler’s Recovery / Axe Mastery
• Healing Signet / Bull’s Charge / Berserker’s Stance / Endure Pain / Rampage (yay)

I’m running the same food, swapped out my berserker stance for stam sig for 90% regen, I’m liking it so far

u get it per however many might u get, so ie, I have versatile power and sigil of battle, ill proc it 4 times just from 1 weapon swap

the heal is nice, but omgguuuurrrdd the dodges I’m getting, I feel like a thief with my build

oh, and if youre running shield master, you can get all ur hp and dodges back if u block enough hits

PANDA in its natural environment, WvW

4 years and you haven’t figured out the basics? Feelsbadman.
You could always run full minstrel heal ele, plant yourself in the front-line and spam regen, never die and do 0 damage, but heal better than a water field and a few blasts.

“OP Thief” isn’t going to down multiple people with 10k meteors and 6k fire autos.

Was gonna say, on my minstrels staff ele, most of my heals come from spamming staff 1, wash away the pain or overloading water , and when I do cast my water fields, I usually anticipate where the blobs will meet and just throw it on there

so guys there’s actually a nice viable build with LB in wvw?

Ive yet to meet a warrior in WvW thats using longbow.

I see..Loading said “gs/lb” so I thought it’s a viable one.
how do you play it in wvw?

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJAQJARTnMdAdhgVhAmhAElilqADZx1ACAvj2U7sVpHE7yBA-TFhFAAyRAAOEA6FAYfAAAA-w

That’s what I run for the gs/lb, it’s nothing spectacular, pretty much the same def disc ber traitline. It’s just with burst mastery and smash brawler, you can spam the lb burst for cleansing ire and Arden health to make up for having no blocks without the need for a target also. I run full zerk gear with dura runes so usually I hit other power geared targets for 1.7k autos x2 since lb auto has 2 hits and the burst if they stand on it ticks for that much also and tankier people for maybe 1k

just gotta get used to having no target and manually aiming scorched earth or not moving before you fire it so your char automatically turns to your target instead of it going to CD

I change my mind on making a necro, for the urge to dust off my rev now and gear it up

I have the urge to make a condi reaper now the second I get home from work

Guess this was more of a bug, when warriors gs4 kept multiplying in damage every time it hit another target , was fun taking out zergs with one skill

For zerging with hammer have you played with sigil of absorption/draining? Theres plenty of peope during blobfests to make use of it, probably a little better than paralyzation

mmmmmmm 12 pips a tick, DROOLS*

Just my 2 cents, the rewards are meh, I’m decked out in all ascended anyways, it’s just more skins to unlock for a game mode I play mostly which I’ll eventually collect cause I’ll keep playing it. The bigger reward for me now is that there’s definitely more people playing so its not always an empty map, yea there’s zergs still but I also notice more random small groups everywhere and more roamers everywhere. It reminds me of when this game first started and there was people everywhere and fights everywhere

Still running my power gs/lb with berserker still, the patch was meh to me, don’t really notice that much of a difference and my lb wasn’t changed

Just skimmed so dunno if anyone said anything similar

F1-4 would be like plague form all doing different things that just pulses whatever in an aoe following you I guess dmg, heals, boons, condis that you can toggle on and off with a cd that just consumes LF

New gem store item

Character slot with a new playable race but with the stuff already in GW2 like quaggans and skritts, but there’s no story, just gotta do hearts and events and whatnot

What if missing a stealth attack brings you out of stealth but not reveal you?

But then there’s pistols stealth , it would miss the first shot and land the rest? Hmmmm…

I would typically agree with this idea, however I run Revealed Training and this would hinder me.

Ah yea forgot about that, yea I’m with u on that

Here’s something I thought would be fun to see, might be a bit difficult but fun at the same time

Let’s gather up a large group of people and make some kind of panarama or pic whatever u call it and have someone take a pic from up high. We can use people with different dyes and objects maybe? Don’t know what u can use as objects maybe just the landscape?

Or would this be too difficult?

I’m pretty sure now, anet will release new aerial combat with new legendary gliders with stats, but you can only obtain it in wvw, the only place you can’t glide.

Was going to jokingly ask if this was an undercover nerf warrior thread with the “if u can’t solo something in pve anet won’t nerf it lines I see people throwing around”

But the I read it again and saw “make it better”

So nvm >.>

You get those numbers when you zerk another zerker

I was thinking, if there was a stat that was a dires version for power, I would guess maybe toughness vit ferocity, and people used runes and traits to make up for the precision, would there be topics everywhere about people being tanking and still doing all this high dmg?

Lol no. Ferocity is only worthwhile with high power. It’s a scalar modifier, so if your damage is low, it still remains low.

The equivalent to Dire and TB would be Main stat power (non-diminished a la Berserker and Valkyrie gear) with secondary stat Ferocity, Toughness and Vitality (non-diminished a la Valkyrie + Soldier) with diminished Precision as the tertiary scalar like stat like TB’s expertise.

Of course, this would be a massive increase in raw stats notably defensive ones to maintain massive pressure, which is why Dire and TB are regarded as being so overpowered.

Dire has been around forever, but it has always been overpowered. People have been running it and complaining about it in small-scale since its release, because it was just blatantly busted. It wasn’t complained about as much only because the blobs didn’t run it since there wasn’t enough condition pressure when running old GWEN to really have an impact. Buffed condition pressure and buffed power damage negation have forced condi into every part of WvW, however, so now everyone is realizing just how dumb the sets actually are.

-_- just realized I had a brain fart moment and didn’t think about power when I posted that

Time for ANET to release a new game mode

Attack of the risen quaggans

5 people vs 5000 risen quaggans

If you die, you can join the quaggans

Finally got back around to reading up on this thread, just go too serious for me, imma just go back to flinging hammers at people in wvw >.>

Engineer.

Zombies would have a hard time biting through leather armor, which would be easier to move in than heavy.

Easy pick IMO.

having second thoughts on a light class now, I don’t want to run around in a robe, unless I can improvise with a bathrobe, and nothing else underneath, the freedom and comfort of survival.

And you inherited the power to be any class and build in gw2 to be IRL, what would you be? It could be something you don’t even play, just explain why

Me, I don’t play a minion mancer, but I’ll pick that, just cause I’m a neat freak, and I’m really clean in real life so I would just send a bunch of minions to fight for me so I wouldn’t get blood on myself. Also, if I ever needed some drinking buddies, I’m sure a bunch of flesh golems would be entertaining having them do that rush attack while they’re drunk, since they already seem drunk already

Just wanted to share my thoughts on rev after finally deciding to try it out, and I’m just bored at work surfing though the forums.

I’ve been playing since the start, mostly warrior and thief, I’ve tried the other professions out to learn them but never a rev, so my experience with them was just from fighting them in wvw and picking up on what the skills did as I was fighting them and learning what “rotations” people usually did.

So the other day I finally decided to actually make one go through the traits try different weapon sets and builds and when I settled one on, it was pretty similar to the meta build. Then I started reading the rev forums and reading all this stuff people complained about that I realized just from 2 days of playing.

All I can say is if I can notice all of the same stuff , bugs and things that are just plain out bleh,and come up with the meta build in just 2 days of playing a rev seriously, then SMH…. I hope anet improves on rev.

But either way I’m having fun still, loving that hammer dmg btw. Just wanted to share my thoughts and impression from someone trying out rev

I was thinking, if there was a stat that was a dires version for power, I would guess maybe toughness vit ferocity, and people used runes and traits to make up for the precision, would there be topics everywhere about people being tanking and still doing all this high dmg?

For a 1vs1, the way I play hammer, I kite them around making it seem like they have the attack on me, then I just let them run into my cc and land a couple of hits. It’s easier to let them run into the slow hits than to try to agggresively attack them so that they can dodge the very slow telegraphic attacks

Choppy.4183:

Most of you are injecting a lot more realism in this than I expected.

I had to lol to see how long it’ll take before someone else got it

PANDA, PANDA PANDA PANDA PANDA!

Bolt is nice and cheap

Just wondering, how many people out there would like to play on a map where there’s no objectives or towers?

A map that’s just all terrain and all you do is fight for kills.

Maybe throw in a cap on how many people can be in there like ( random number ) 25, and when you die to get kicked out and the next person in que gets to hop in until they die.

Or even just a map where it’s everyone for themselves and there’s no teams.

I found some old school hammer hype

https://youtu.be/5hCCpq7e624

I’ll be happy if they at least removed blind with the burst skill, even just the burst, so I can at least do some dmg and take out 1 stabilty

I tried but missed my blast finisher cause of blind

Nightingale.8364:

and first 2 posters are people on those forums trying there best to cover things up…

Their********************************** Not there
The only response from someone who does pretty much wvw a majority of the time.

Edit: Yeah, I’m sure my grammar is bad for a grammar kitten, it’s cause I’m drunk forum trolling. That show’s how much I care anymore.

Tac…tics? I’ve never heard of this, I thought we only had defense discipline and berserker…

Just do what I do

Most people are in there just trying to get the acehivements also, so at the start I just go “you guys wanna just farm the achievements?” Usually a good number of people do. I’ve had a couple of rooms already where everyone just did that, made it so much easier.

When u got the entire team stacked up attacking the wall, u can get multiple interrupts at once, and you can run around getting the heals without worry about dying.

Just gonna drop a vagueish reply and say even if you run a meta build , you suck if you just suck. If your good or decent running a meta build but your team is all disorganized and suck as a whole, then your team sucks.

Wtf these are at 6 gold a piece now? Didn’t they use to dirt cheap? I just threw out a stack of them not too long ago -_-

Make hammer f2 ignore stab and I’ll use it

uhhhhhhh, yeaaa….

I have no idea what I said, most of my post are when I’m drunk dropping a dump..

I’m gonna guess I said I wanted to make sword burst ranged, and sword 4 melee, which is horrible

reminds me of when sword 3 use to be melee cripple…

Just quick idea, no exact numbers or details

What if oh sword and burst swapped so throw sword is the burst to immo and oh sword is close range attack and 2nd part is rip still, would it make it more useful?

When I land my elite shout then reaper shroud 5,4 and people die,It’s like when u get a perfect Steal backstab combo in as a thief,.

This is what I’m currently running in wvw. It’s working really well for me against warriors and especially those druids that are everywhere. I chose to use soldiers armor to be a bit more tanky but ive ran it full marauders and berserker also and it still works, just gotta play a bit more carefully.

You stand there, try to make friends, when they bite you slowly hop around and run in circles till you lure them to a cliff and when they don’t expect it you swap to hammer and knock them off
