Yes.

That said, we’ll be increasing the cooldowns on all tactics by 5-10 minutes. Also, once the scribing costs come down, as part of the april build, we can start looking at rebalancing their actual effects as well.

Regarding this kind of statement, I have a relatively simple question that I think a lot of dedicated WvW people would like to know:

Is ArenaNet’s unflagging dedication to failed World vs. World updates worth the high cost of continued and irreparable harm to its own game mode?

Agemnon.4608:

Complaining over a sale? How would you feel if there aren’t any more sales? Can’t complain about “bad” sales if there are no sales to begin with, and Anet might learn that to our detriment.

they might as well have not had a sale since all the products on sale were terrible

Whisper me in-game or forums if you have any questions, thank you for your interest.

its a coverage game. you win by transferring to the server with the highest population. not saying thats a good thing, but im pretty sure thats how it was intended, and thats how it will always be

i run this when i want big numbers. rifle is generally better for power builds. if you want to mess around you could try out rocket turret toolbar utility. almost impossible to land but hits really hard. just for messing around, nothing serious

spirit weapons dont need an hp bar since they all have limited durations. i remember the day they got nerfed, i honestly dont remember hearing anyone ever complaining about them prior to the nerf, and surely no one has been complaining since

rune changes will likely nerf melandru, so i wouldnt bank on it

a trait that would work extremely well on offensive builds, but needs clerics to be viable, doesnt really work out. scaling with power would be good as you said, or they could just buff the base heal and have no scaling. since builds using this trait will not have as much damage mitigation as other builds, (since it has at least 20 points in zeal) it would seem reasonable to just buff the base healing to something more reasonable.

not only boring, but ah will still be better in most scenarios. i can see how armor mods is misplaced, but i still dont think its a big deal. engis that use it mostly do so since there is no other good traits in that line. people that invest 30 in tool usually do so for the crit damage. i dont think the aegis chain would be that big of a deal since its easily broken by auto attacks. aegis is the strongest when used after foreseeing a high burst attack, so if its randomly activated its only good for clutch rng luck situations.

classes required list has been updated

bump……….. classes required list has been updated

we need necros!!!

still recruiting!

well the reason ele waterfields are better is because they last much longer. in a group of this size the guardians/warriors will all blast together, so engi isnt needed for blasting either.

WHAT WE HAVE RECRUITED SINCE WE STARTED THIS THREAD SO FAR:
2 WARRIORS
2 ELEMENTALISTS
2 THIEVES
1 GUARDIAN
1 MESMER
STILL LOOKING FOR MORE GUARDIANS/NECROMANCERS!

need more necros and guardians!

new positions available!

i considered using bomb kit but BoB detonate time is way too high and too predictable. i still use crate to lock the target down and get them in a good position for knocking off. throw mine took an incredibly long time to get used to but it is most definitely worth a utility slot. keep in mind the toolbelt skill for throw mine strips boons which has actually worked quite well for people with stability.. the only skill i see actually changing is the heal skill.

here it is! the ultimate CC knockout build to launch people off the edge of the map. throw mine is hard to use but can knock multiple people off at the same time if you get it right. the rest is self explanatory. you can switch leg mods out for power wrench if you want. i really like leg mods for the poultry leek/condi reduction proc though. elixir h can be switched for aed/turret, mostly a preference thing. i find that theres lots of ganking in eotm, so i use knights for the extra toughness to be able to get away. although this is a cc build, it still hits quite hard with rifle/wrench. feedback/criticism would be appreciated.

Whisper me if you have any questions, thank you for your interest.

well its not the worst heal skill. the new guardian one is trash outside of pve as well. they need to increase the high end heal to 90% total health or something or else its just not worth taking the risk

pve — zerk warriors have better overall dps and utility
wvw — engis are common in 5-10 man groups, if it gets any bigger engi is actually quite useless.
maybe thats why not many people play it, only useful in certain scenarios.
engi doesnt have its own unique utilities as well. for example, throw elixir U makes a common GUARDIAN skill or a THIEF skill. this applies to many of the skills. the only thing ive seen unique about engi is turrets, and they are trash.

wow way to make sor look like yet a kittenier server

warriors have more single skill bursts whereas bursty guardians are mostly sustained dps.

yeah… not all builds use grenade kit believe it or not. i actually rarely use grenades in my builds since you have to invest a full 30 trait points to make them up to par with other weapons/kits. otherwise they are just underpowered.

There needs to be an initial heal then a later heal. even if the later heal is nerfed heavily, its just too unreliable right now. maybe initial heal of 2.5k, 2.5k if over 1% and 6k if under 1%.

the cripple pulse added up as well to 6 seconds i believe. whereas right now it just adds 1 second of cripple each pulse.

well the reason you dont drop it is because the cast time vs the effects make it not worth casting. im sure if it were better we would use it more.

I can see that working. I’ll buy gear and try it out. dont think i even have a scepter on my guardian anymore haha

BoB is so unreliable. and its not worth using bomb kit for just the auto attack. I almost always use bomb kit when running a condition build, cant say the same about burst though.

very cool build, nice to see something different every now and then. I find myself not using scepter very much since the auto attack is very easily avoidable, the immobilize easily curable, and the #2 aoe easily evadable. I see it being useful against some classes but isnt very versatile overall.

PU mesmer is broken and impossible to kill unless they mess up. If you face one, either run or ask your team for support.

healing bomb variant:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fcAQFAUlIqqbH5ynF17IRoH2vwqV0D9bZH/pgcB-TkAg2CrIMSZkzIjRSjsGN+A

wouldnt it be better to use p/s instead of rifle in the bomb heal variant? extra blast finish + condition applier since you are using condition damage

Bloodgruve.6038:

Guardian stuff..

hide spoiler

Maiden England.3491:

yes it is actually very ideal for the most standard guardian burst build — guardian meditation builds. even if its not a burst build, almost every guardian build goes 30 into valor for either AH or MF. guardian is a prime example of crit damage being in the ideal tree.

In a guardian burst build I would love Fiery Wrath, Radiant Power and Power of the Virtuous. I give up PotV for Meditations and Crit Dmg. Same situation as Engineer, you lose % damage increase’s or Grenadier for Crit Dmg. I might argue that Crit Dmg and Enduring Damage in the same tree are nice together depending on your situation.

In PvE I rarely run Valor on my Guard, AH isn’t needed and Med’s are nice but other stuff is nicer IMHO. Gimme my Power/Crit/Crit Dmg in Zeal, Radiance n Virtues and I’d be happy. In PvP I run Engi or Mesmer :P

pve builds are of no concern to me. as a guy said in another thread “You can do a dungeon run naked if you wanted”

minion master necros and spirit rangers are in no way “balanced” when it comes to stats. well, the good ones arent anyways. i do not attempt to mimic the current meta, nor do i try to create new ones. im simply broadcasting the builds ive been most successful with. if you find yourself looking for more balanced builds, you are either playing hotjoins, or playing with a team too disorganized to use role specific builds.
