Guild Wars 2

The sigil of battle (3 might when you weapon swap in combat) doesn’t work because i never seem to get the might buff during combat. I play mostly pvp so i dont know if the effect is the same in pve.

S/P is more of a control set rather than a damage set (like D/x), don’t forget that with sword you can attack multiple targets at once and have crazy mobility/free stunbreaker/condition removal and an immobilize that is so crucial in pvp when used at the right time. Personally i like sword more as i feel it helps more the team with the immobilize/stun than the dagger mainhand.

in regard to pvp, standard venomshare 30/0/30/10/0 with devourer venom, spider venom and ambush trap (with reduced trap CD in acrobatics) ogre runes and soldier gear. SB as main weapon and S/P for stomps/finishing/control. The build does not only provide very good survivability (high thoughness/vit + leeching venom health) but also amazing burst especially when you have 4 pets out (1 thief from ambush trap+2 from thieves guild+1 rockdog) and share with them devourer venom stacking immobilize. Great team utility as well. I’m in love with this build and it doesnt rely of stealth nor quickness (in fact im using withdraw that is much better than hide in shadows, the instant cast and the 15 sec cd makes you very resistant in pvp!). Try it out if you like venoms and want to try pvp

in one hot join match you mean at any rate its very luck based because if i remember correctly you get credited also for the pets you hit (hello necromancer) so depending on which class you are facing you might perform amazingly well or not

I noticed the same , everytime i change a rank (deer, dolyak etc) it takes 1-2 rank level for my icon to change on the starting screen =/ (not that it matters…)

the problem that the operation to craft them is not that exciting…not to mention is a click fest when you want to craft multiple dyes….

Hello guys after some months of pvp i’ve so many pvp crafting materials that i cannot even deposit them in the collectible tab. I’ve already all the pvp sets i want (at least those available from tournaments/rank) and i’m a bit puzzled on what to do with the mats. Dye crafting looks like the only feasible solution to invest glory/crafting materials or there are other recipes that i am missing?

what you do with your crafting materials in pvp? Do you think arena net will add in the future a way to convert them in something else (gold/consumables like food etc?)

Hello, i just started doing actively pvp with my thief , using mostly a venom share build i’m able to withstand quite some damage (also using the soldier amulet). Sadly i did not have the time (or will) to test all the other classess in pvp and therefore sometimes i’ve no idea what kind of skills are they using or how to counterattack.

I learned the hard way that when i see the quickness buff it’s time to kite/dodge . Having played also a warrior im somehow familiar with their skills and utility. I do also know that red circles = bad (duh). However…there are plenty of other skills that (probably) im completely overlooking, causing me to dodge/interrupt in a wrong way.

So what do you look out mostly in pvp? Any particular skill animation/buff etc that is vital for you to check?

also, what kind of options do you use on the combat? (ie: stop autoattacking? autotargetting?) I feel like sometimes i totally have a wrong target…
