“im all for supporting devs that deserve it” → Possibly if given more money they can hire more people, and make more changes :-)

Maybe you should stop worrying about $20-30 and just buy the game.

Sorry that you’re poor, but, don’t take it out on all of us that enjoy the new content while you twiddle yourself worrying about wvw only and an hours worth of work in money.

Life’s not fair. Enjoy buying the expansion, or finding a new game.

I found this highly frustrating, as I tried to transfer off my server with my guild, but Anet decided to lock servers early that week by about 2 hours.

So, I’m stuck on a now dead, t4 server, without my guild, and unable to move to another server unless i constantly swap every 8 weeks to a new server and use my gold/gems to stay in a competitive scene.

Customer service refused to assist.

Hey all, Although the account name is Malpractice, muh name is Arkengate. Or Arken.

I’ve been playing Gw2 since day 1, but took a break after HoT to do some stuff in RL, and anyway, I came back a bit ago, and have been mostly doing WvW and fractals. I have downed the first 3 bosses.

I’d love to get into raids, and I play heavy classes. I really enjoy the warrior and guardian, and can gear it however you choose. I can also do condi engi, but I prefer the others.

I have full ascended, except working on vipers trinkets atm, however I have the sinisters/vipers armor. As well as Zerk ascended.

Living in minnesota, i play in the evenings CST, and I’m certainly not looking for a hardcore raiding guild that makes me on X time each week, I’d love to just be in a guild that runs them, and has slots open on occasion that I can hop into.

Im not, i just need a guild.

What makes them not good for a group?

are they able to get into diamond etc?

I am looking to join a casual raid guild, one that does not make me play X time each week raiding in a solid group.

I do a lot of wvw, and recently came back to the game. I did the first 3 bosses upon release, and am ready to get back into the saddle.

I mostly play heavies, but also enjoy engi ^.^ Theyre all full ascended, but would prefer to stay with heavies. I can also get a condi set for warrior if desired as well.

I have Ts3, play most evenings (CST) and am very friendly, willing to learn, and grind out bosses :-)

Thanks!

Newish to pve, and i really like all 3 heavies, and thats about it :p

So, if i make a Zerker Ascended set, that makes all 3 viable/good, yes? But Basically, from my understanding is :

Warriors more desired than guard, whos more desired than rev??

Secondly, if i have the gold, do i also want to make a Warrior Condi set, or are those mostly not used?

I mostly play Warrior in pve/wvw — but i guess guardian is aight too.

Is warrior good for pvp, as well?

Do they have a decent enough skill cap to keep someone interested? Varying builds?

Nerf builds that beat mine, buff mine.
Everything’s balances fault, and not my play.

Looking to get more into commanding a zerg, Likely mostly on Rev, but I do like guardian from time to time, and have a few questions:

1) Is it worth it snagging wanderers armor? Or Just go soldiers/sentinels?

2) Pros/Cons of those 2 classes for commanding?

3) What numbers am I aiming for with HP, Armor?

4) Would making an ascended set instead of 2 exotics (at a much steeper cost) actually be worth it?

I have been thinking of getting back into PVE (Fractals, Raids) And I know that my old Engineer is really good in fractals, but not really useful in raids. I have a warrior. But, I have a set of ascended Light armor I made for WvW — And I would love to be able to use it in raids/pve, but need help picking a class.

I don’t really like the necro thematically, so its basically Mesmer or Ele.

I have heard mesmer is really hard for Pve, where you have to have a perfect rotation, often times tank, and know the ins and outs of everything with sounds both fun, and daunting. Is this the case? Is it as hard as people say?

As for ele, is it entertaining to play? Is it mostly 1 button spam? I like how much I have to do stuff with engi, but sometimes hate how theres so much to do as engi lol.

Which would you recommend, and why?

I’m looking for one that keeps me on my toes (active playstyle, kinda like engi), rewards me for good play, with a few diff playstyles and lets me always be useful/wanted in groups :P

Thanks!

Yall are fantastic. Seems warrior and scrapper mgiht be my 2 :-p

I enjoy playing WvW but previously I have really only played engineer. I have dabbled a bit with all the classes, and curious how each Fairs in WvW/battles… If theyre useful, take some skill, have varied builds..etc

Engineer -> Are they as useless as they once were? Did scrapper help em a bit?

Warrior -> I havent seen more than a handful in about 2 weeks..

Revenant -> Where do they fit in?

Mesmers -> I’m sure theyre still useful for Veil, and somewhat portal. DId the wells help them secure more bags/tag more enemies? :p

Not really interested in the other classes much
Thanks for any info :-)

Secondly, engineers need to be given something to make them desirable to bring, given their very difficult rotation. It should be rewarding in some way.

Higher toughness bosses/enemies with nothing to epidemic bounce off of favors Engineer heavily right now, those just don’t really exist in the current raid. Maybe once ANet does whatever they plan to do with Epidemic (who knows) we’ll see more Engineers.

Also, Revenant gets used in basically every raid group. That’s pretty high in demand IMO!

I miss my engi, thats such a fun rotation :-) Sucks.

I guess, im more asking, why does everyone recommend warrior instead of Rev?

i wish revenant was more in demand, as well as engineer.

Revenant are really fun, easy rotation, and great for beginners. But as said above, eveeryone suggests warriors — why?

Secondly, engineers need to be given something to make them desirable to bring, given their very difficult rotation. It should be rewarding in some way.

Unfortunately, i missed the match, what was their comp?

Barret.4095:

i run something similar but once your mmr settles down (yes you have low mmr when you first start playing a new class) you’ll find that you just get outclassed by a lot of things.

pros of condi berserker: insane condi burst, you can actually tear down tempests and druids pretty quickly with all the pressure you deal.

cons: free kill for a reaper, dh, revs, scrapper, and can’t 1v1 tempets with diamond skin.

Well, my MMR might raise, however, class specific MMR is disabled, as stated by a dev. Its account wide.

Secondly, the reflects int he first build make DH a pretty easy target, and realistically, all you have to do is avoid the traps. The only time it gets nasty is if theres 2 alternating traps, from my experience.

Revs and scrapper certainly give me trouble. Reaper seems about 50/50 depending on how i deal with plague signet.

Edit: This thread highlights the MMR thingy.

I am just curious what will you do if I put the pvp programmer in front of you

I would honestly laugh at them for thinking in a 50% odd of winning game having wins equal losses was a good idea.

Lol…. me too, me too. Like I said the most idiotic system ever known to man. Now I have seem it all. Seriously ANet designers use your brain a bit, use common sense a bit.

Oddly enough, Sc2 uses the same method, but no one complains in that game.

Wasted time = Didnt have fun?

Technically, video game = wasted time, as you could be doing something more productive.

So, potentially, re-evaluate whether you have fun with pvp, or if winning is the only thing you find “fun”.

At the end of the day, its a game, and its for fun. Relax a bit, and enjoy it.

This current meta, once you are ruby or sapphire, you must play bunker meta or whatever other meta there is for your class to win.

That is what not having fun is, and wasting time. This is the worst PvP has ever been. Massive fail anet.

Thats fine. I get that. But by saying “I didnt gain a pip, today sucked, and I wasted time because I didnt gain a pip” in my mind is stupid.

QQ about the balance, but dont QQ because you didnt make progress. (imo)

Aeroxe.8140:

7) The power creep is very, very real.
-Balance patches in the future should aim not to buff underpowered specs, but to tune what is too strong at the present time.

I can’t stress this enough. Ever since the legendary Dhuumfire patch of June 2013, “balancing” has consisted of adding layers upon layers of overpowered cheese on top of a generous helping of existing overpowered cheese. Anet needs to let go of the fallacy of buffing things to parity. If things continue as they are, by 2017 every class will only have one skill, the aptly named “I Win HurrDurr”, which is an instant-cast, unblockabe AoE at 1,800 range that does 10k damage. Cooldown 1 second, of course.

Just stop it ANet, pretty please.

I really want to see many things nerfed. But when they opened the door to raids in the state it is in right now, they closed the door of nerfing classes.

If they start to nerf classes, they may have to rework the raid, as the raid require a certain amount of damage to be cleared. Nerfing the damage of some classes might make the raid unclearable.

That is why I advocated long before raids became a thing, that enrage timers aren’t good design. Now the PvP part has to suffer the consequences of the PvE part having fights on a tight timer.

Enrage timers are fine. They actually make raids a bit harder, which is really good, and important. Losing those timers you’d see stupid builds based around tanking, and not doing the mechanics. Or 10 druids. or stupid things like that.

We usually finish VG with 90 seconds left, and Gor with about a minute left. SC did got with 4:10 left on the timer. And you think a few things cant lose a bit of damage?

Malyx isnt seen much in raids, a bit, but not much. That can be nerfed. Alacrity bunker can be nerfed as well, without losing much. Especially if they add reflects, mesmers will find another way to do dps, or start tanking instead.

Mr Kitten.7359:

you realise nobody cares about the league rank right.

thats for the pve lads

Well, i do care a little bit, in fact. If i cannot get onto high level tier with soloq only with only warrior and only with my build, i am done in that case.

Anyway, since Arenanet rekted both builds, ShoutBow and Banner Shout, i literally cannot do a single thing.

Still not sure, but Malpractice has been sucessfully winning in league as warrior only and with only his build, I should stop it anyway, since it means he is better than me or
Tarcis or Crysis or whoever as warrior, as a dude and a man who knows when to accept the reality

Or i just play the class differently, without using shouts, and you’re more than welcome to use it :-)

That doesn’t make me a better player than the above mentioned people, it just might (unsure) make my build better for the current meta and what warriors are up against.

Luck also has a place in this conversation, as well.

Saeco.7196:

Going warhorn is kinda stupid…bad weapon. Torch is better for that build. It gives you more burns and a fire shield with sword 2 and shield 4 as well as bulls charge.

Yea, thanks for pointing this out. I didnt realize I clicked the wrong weapon when making them at work this morning :-(

I edited the builds and posted the torch-equipped ones in OP.

Saeco.7196:

no berzerk stance or endure pain
you die in seconds

If you wish to follow the first build, you have 400-700 HPS between signet and Adrenal Health, along with the fact Endure Pain activates at 25%, and you have multiple blocks, sigil of energy etc — Also, the offensive ability of your stuns gives you relief from pressure coming your way.

Warlord.9074:

I kinda wanted to add that your build basically has balanced stance. You have no ther stun breaks besides 1 on a 40 sec CD.. All someone really has to do is wait for your stab to run out and CC you and you are done you have blocks but there is a lot of CC that is unblockable and obviously if you have no way to get out of CC your not blocking anything. Thats why I think that you probably got carried so hard its not even funny.

First, there is a 2nd CC breaker in headbutt, and if needed, you could drop last blaze for savage instinct if you find yourself not able to time properly with your blocks and evades. Which, as it stands now, is 3 CC breaks every 40 seconds. If you need more, you can do the above.

Secondly, The taunt is there because it makes it so you get 100% accuracy on skull grinder, which is where the pressure really starts to come on. That being said, I have nothing wrong with Eternal Champion, and I’ve used it quite often instead of the taunt.

There is more than enough condi pressure to kill anything I’ve fought so far.

lastly, while you say I got carried, I did it in solo queue, and did very well.

EDIT: I didn’t realize I had warhorn on there, i made the build at work, and did it rather quickly. It should have been a torch, as warhorn doesn’t really provide much, and doesnt help with the pressure I’m bringing.

Thanks for pointing out that I had the wrong weapon selected in the build.
It should in face be Mace/Shield, Sword/Torch.

I’d edit out the dont listen to this guy, then :p

If you would like I will. Just so you know, his post essentially said something along the lines of “malpractice is bad”. I don’t remember really, but it was comical.

Naw, I’m good :-)
I do hope people test my build and help iron it out, though.

Lets all just love eachother. Theres no hatred here. We all want warrior to be better than it currently is, and that is what we strive for.

We are just all trying to make the most out of what Anet has given us, because we love the class. And online has given a ton to this community, so, lets give a little respect to that — instead of being hostile. If anything, I should be the one upset, however, I am not. I know he did most of what he said out of jest and fun, not spite and rudeness.

I’d edit out the dont listen to this guy, then :p

Im not sure why this lit up so much, I will certainly do the duel, and never intended to take away your tag, or anything. From what I understand, you’ve given this community a ton, and theyre not treating you the best.

I certainly have respect for you, and what you’ve done, and hope you review my thread on my build, and test it out a bit, online.

Mcrocha.3891:

^ Don’t listen to this man. He’s the kind of guy to make a cry thread on the forum and say he’s quitting the game, but then not actually do it.

If this build works for you then that’s great. Play whatever you have fun with and don’t listen to other people.

Edit: now he has deleted his comment.

I actually never made any sort of claim. Online made a thread challenging me to a duel, and renamed it, or something, then deleted it. Check the author.
“Malpractice.7850 – Best Warrior NA online.1278”

This is my first thread I’ve started in the warrior forum.

So, I stirred up the pot a bit. My name is Malpractice, however, I usually go by Arkengate (kitten it anet let me swap that name please).

About me: I have long played GW2, and I am in a top-tier guild for PvE and WvW. I dabble in pvp, and I will say I am not on the same caliber of some players on the forums/in the game, but I certainly hold my own in most matches, and rarely feed/do poorly. I am not low MMR, and I do roam.

Since launch I have played a ton of classes, and since HoT, some of them have faded from me. I play a lot of engineer, and a bit of mesmer, sometimes reaper, however — I found myself with a problem when hot came out. I had an ascended heavy set. Revenant DPS rotation was stupidly boring to me, and Guardian no longer was enjoyable with DH (for me). So, i picked up warrior, leveled it with tomes, made a few specs, and tried it a bunch. I wanted to learn a new class, and try new things, and its been extremely fun.

I certainly saw the struggles of pvp that warriors have mentioned, and I kept plugging away at the builds I was using, finding effective ways to fight things. The most prevelant things in the meta that i saw was a few things: Lots of evades, condis, blocks, and CC. I was mostly seeing the same 6 classes, thought of their weaknesses, and came up with a few builds I’ve been toying with to success.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJAQRApe8fnMdAtkildAmhAElilqATpHE7yBIFgGQA4t02aftA-TZhHwADeAAAOBAHLDE4IAAa/BA

Was my first iteration. I could bring a ton of CC, good endurance, and lots of blocks. It also came with reflects. I have had a lot of success with this.

Once i got a bit better at warrior, I was able to drop defense and go more offensive, however, I still use defense quite often.

Controversial things: I take Dead or Alive over Heat and Soul because I found a lot of the meta classes have a bit of longer cooldowns, and if i need to drag the fight on, it ended up letting me down a lot of people in sticky situations.

I’ve found success with Savage Instinct over Last blaze, but I find wanting the extra burn. Some input on this would be nice. (works especially well with rousing resilience)

Bloody roar over Eternal Champion and King of Fires due to the CC chain involved. However, I’ve also used EC to soem success, but never really felt KoF to give me much.

I’ve tinkered with Eternal Champion and Rousing resilience, but this seemed to be most effective against most builds.

Lately, I’ve been tinkering with the following build:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJAQRApe8fnMdAtkildAmhAEliFiAT5LM92CGBgPYP794+cjuA-TZhHwADeAAAOBAHLDE4IAAa/BA

Now, what you lose with this build:
A lot of defenses. The reflects are amazing. Health regen, toughness (not enough to care), but most painfully the adrenaline and condi cleanse

What you gain: Extra confusion, Tons of bleeds, more damage, more rolling, and more mobility.

This build is especially good if the enemy team has limited DH, but as I see a ton of DH lately, the first build wrecks the hell out of them.

I’m not sure which build is “better”, but they both have been very useful.

I’ll try to make video clips on how I fight each of the “meta” classes, but as its studying for finals time, it will take me at least a few days.

This build can be used in team fights, however, i’ve found the most success rotating properly and taking side points. There isnt a build I havent been able to kill. Its not a 100% winrate vs builds, but nothing is. I’ve had my struggles, learned the nuances of how each class fights against me, and have adjusted accordingly to each matchup.

I’ll try to respond today while I’m at work, but no absolute guarantees on that.

Thats it boys: Pick me apart, rage at me, flame me — I’m simply giving my input on whats been useful for me.

Raizen.7981:

Longbow+ sword/torch. Condi Warrior is the top dps in game, and it also brings banners, making it very popular in all sorts of PvE. There’s 2 ways of playing it:
a) Arms/Zerk/Tactics and camp longbow(2 burn stacks on lb autos)
b)Arms/Zerk/Discipline and swap to sword/torch when berserk is on cooldown. This build has around 1k more dps in a raid setup, so that’s around 300-500 dps in a regular PvE setupd- negligible. So play whatever you enjoy.

This isn’t exactly true. Its top DPS in game vs a non-moving target that you can effectively land more than 1 square on, such as sabetha (requires skill in placement) and gorseval. However, I tihnk the highest average DPS vs most things is condi engi, if well played.

That being said, the ease of use of warrior is what really makes that dps shine.

I most certainly don’t think I am the best warrior, however, I do stand by the fact they are not useless, and fights can be won. I am not sure at top-tier, but also at top tier, we don’t see many DH nor thieves, yet people are constantly complaining about DH (Which I personally have had no problems with. The only thing i think is OP is trap size, maybe)

As said above, I will certainly take the duel, and regardless of if I lose, hopefully when I post the build, it is atleast more receptive than I’ve been treated by a few members of the community so far (One going so far to saying i’m low MMR, uplevel wvw, etc.)

Just because I’m new to a class, and trying to offer a viewpoint that isn’t doom and gloom doesn’t make me a terrible player.

Sure, other classes are better, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be an effective warrior at most MMRs

I do just fine in both 1v1 and team situations. I cant think of any profession i’m having a difficult time with.

“Not to sound rude” yet you make judgements that arent true.

I’m mystic dragon, i do just fine in pvp. I’ve been in T1 nearly my entire gw2 life, and have over 1k levels in it. I’m not some amateur. I’ve long time mained an engi, so my mechanics are sound. I have also done quite well in the raids, finishing the first wing. I guess that makes me poor skilled, too. And for the uplevel, i only have 8 characters, theyre all 80, and 4 of them are ascended.

Not to sound rude, but you just sound like maybe you’re bad at the class and dont know how to properly play the game in pvp, or wvw.

See how unproductive that statement is?
Do not try to discredit people for things you don’t know.

Edit: I never once said they didn’t have flaws. They do. I simply said I found a build that works, and works over a long period of 15 games I posted. I have never tanked my MMR. I have had a learning period with them. I am simply saying its not all doom and gloom as many in this thread are saying. The class is weak, sure, i guess. That doesn’t mean it cant be effective and win games, and nor does it mean the class isnt fun or worth playing.

At the end of the day — It’s still a game. And fun is what is ultimately important.

oh, so i’m the guy who doesn’t know how to play the class now?
looks like only duel between us can settle this down

No, you’re just a rude person that is so socially inept that they think they can get away with saying rude things, or making sweeping judgmental statements about others.

Also is there any point for him to make a post saying he’s winning with a build and trying to support warrior if he doesn’t even freaking POST the build? We can’t even tell that he’s legitimately solo queueing…

I’ll be posting a comprehensive thread on how I’m treating each class, and can start streaming again if you’d wish.

I’m withholding posting it for now as to make sure the build is perfect over a longer period, and as I learn warror more, I’ll likely have to tweak it.

I’ve also only be met by anger, hatred, and being told I’m a kitten player and an uplevel. Not exactly the warmest community to want to post things for, to be honest

You know, I’ll take this offer soon™. Regardless of if I win or lose, it will be fun. However, given that I am still new to warrior, I ask that I get a bit of time to practice it a bit more — especially given I’m studying for finals atm.

Is there a time frame on this duel request?

I would also be more than willing to share my build on a limited basis, and see what you think about it / try it with you almighty glory, being that you’re the best NA warrior

I would also argue that Warrior vs Warrior seems a bit odd, because, warrior viability isnt based on warrior vs warrior but rather who you can beat in the meta.

Anyway, ill be around most the evening till if im off work

Can you share it with me? (send by pm, I’ll respond you in pm if needed and won’t disclose it)
I haven’t seen the post from where your statement was taken. So you are in NA :/

I’ll try to build one after my break in a second. I think i can remember most of it.
I played about 50 warrior games until i nailed it down to what was working in the meta, and went on a 16 of 18 game winning streak. My MMR is fine. I’m not a pro by any means, but I’m sure stomping the competition. Its all solo queue.

Disagree with the aboves. I have never played warrior until last week. I made a build and have been wrecking pvp to sapphire. Heres my last 10. I made a build specifically to wreck the classes most played in the meta.

All solo queue, all usually top 3 in personal score.

Forums just like to QQ and not actually look for solutions, but rather, whine to anet to fix their struggles. I will be making a journey to legendary with warrior as my main, even though i’m quite new to it, i’m having a blast, and its highly effective.

I guess i could play DH, Chrono, Scrapper but I dont find them as fun.

Edit: Played 4 more matches, have to go to work, though.
http://imgur.com/Vq9gltm

Personally, as someone that used to main engi but didn’t like scrapper (still condi for raids) and dh isn’t my style.. I’ve been very very successful with warror in pvp.

I think I went 6&1 tonight in ranked.

Curious about the “state of th e class” on a few of the classes I actually enjoy. I would really like to avoid flaming and arguing, just want some opinions on whether these classes/builds are really viable in todays meta — or if theyre worth using.

I really enjoy:
Rifle/Pistol Engi (Not a huge fan of scrapper, personally)

Condi Warrior/Power Warrior

Condi/Power Chronomancer

I guess a distant fourth would be revenant.

I’ve been trying to play rifle engi, but i feel like I dont have enough tankiness or CC to really bring down most of the classes I’m seeing, and feel forced into Scrapper for the stuns/dazes/reflects — otherwise DH and necros seem to ruin my day.

Condi warrior seems to die quickly to anything that puts condi on me
I havent really tried the power warrior, but it seems really fun if its viable.

Chronomancer — What builds do people run? I hear theyre quite good if played well, but as someone thats new, and low mmr, i don’t really see many.

On phone, I’m sure someone else will give you a better description.

Depends how much the target moves, as I find flamethrower 4 hard to land.

That being said, the ones to keep on cool down are roughly:
Ft toolbelt skill
Ft #4
Blowtorch
Fire bomb
10000 grenades toolbelt skill
Nade 5
Nade 2
Pistol #2

Fill gaps with Nade 1

Okay, its been 21 since posting to engineer, and has gotten ~10 posts there to the rangers 30 since BWE3.

Furthermore, They “Fixed gyros, Magnet, Function Gyro” was what he said, but they did none of those.

Rhapsedy.1569:

Druids – the healing class of GW2!

But we are making it now that it will be impossible to heal because you can’t get to that skill.

Oh look. Another Ranger nerf.

Yay. . .

What about Ventari revenant being a healing class, that should be to the same degree as druids?
