whats the plan with warriors. At least ele is better than warrior.
lel … a warrior can OS an ele now =D (unless random reflect => if u don’t have might signet) so I would say… ele is garbage now …
Okay it can still heal pretty well … but dude… u can take vitality then no thougness (1k8 armor and 18k Hp) or take thougness and then no vitality (13k Hp and 2k2 armor)
Remember ele is a light class… and paladin is just bad…. (cause of no healing power)
Well Matty i totally agree with what u said but… the probablity a legendary guy has an amber friend is quite low (next to zero honestly)
Legendary players are too elitist for that most of the time … and no problem to do unranked cause if u’r amber still now … it means u don’t do pvp that’ much then u don’t have enough skill to do ranked… and not with legendary especially
But I agree there’s a little chance a legendary has an amber friend… some of those amber friend are juste a legendary who took a free to play account…
BUt I agree still
there is none,
you essentially want to powercreep old weapons to what they are now which is not what this game needs, so i felt the need to go offtopic because I thought you were trolling, but ….How exactly is wanting weaker weapons to be buffed to normal levels “power-creep”? Last time I checked, that’s called “balance”.
Just that the old features need a new kind of fresh air … cause some skills were bad 3 years ago and are still bad now …
This has been adressed in last weeks balance patch anouncemend. It will be fixed via making the highest division count for all party members e.g. diamond and amber counts as double diamond starting tomorow I think.
Correct it has already pbeen ublished that they will fix this at the next patch (most likely tomorrow)
not tomorrow lol it was a topic on season 2 changes so you will see those changes live on season 2 patch
like in february or what
make P/P more “acrobatic” anet plz
they won’t punish players cause they made a mistake… it would be non sens
1) Mesmer- Druid
2) Elementalist – Revenant
3) Dragonhunter- engineer – necromant
4) Warrior-thief
yep i came into diamond and i’m facing some legendary guys already …
are u playing in australia? and playing while everyone else is sleeping?
well since “bunker cele ele” is melting in 3 sec while spammed with CC … i don’t know how anet could make an offensive spec that doesn’t get OS .
Reapers don’t get hard countered by Scrappers – your usage of the term, ‘hard counter’, should be revoked.
No amount of Reapers will make Warriors a solution, either. Warrior keeps Warrior from being played.
I never said warriors would become meta, I simply implied they would be stronger in a reaper dominant meta.
If you have something on how Scrappers aren’t countering reaper then please tell me since all of my experience on both classes has pointed towards scrapper being easily able to out sustain a reaper as reaper lacks on the burst to bring down scrapper.
remember when core necro REALLY hard counter core engi? I remember … and now Reaper vs scrapper is pretty fair tho
yeah i definetely think scepter on ele need a rework…
well ranger shortbow is bad till bleed “rework” …. bleeding is less effective now so … i guess that’s why it seems so weak.
For me DS prevent full condi team to work… and it’s not a bad thing to be honest …
Cause if there’s a DH or a thief in the enemy team, the ele is melting if necro is bombing in coordination.
Just an example, Ele got focus early on mid in 3vs3
Living time = 12 sec (with stomp time)
Well I imagined a way of anet to rework every class as they did with the elite spec (one for each class)
but I don’t know each class as well so I made the topic to see what ppl think about this . That’s it
But yeah i definitely forgot Axe for necro …. or scepter/torch for guardian
put revenant staff there too
outside of a good bar breaker it does not offer anything good realy
Wow wow. Bad Rev detected.
Rev Staff is very strong.
He was talking about a Pve Dmg application.
Forfeits (not losing pips when teammates desert) are currently disabled while we fix the dishonor false positives. There will be more info on this later.
da hell….yesterday half into game we got 1 guy DC, the game goes on, we lose and all team loses 2 pips….
Yep It happened to me too cause the reward system doesn’t care about afk people and if you were supposed to win… it’s just too bad but loosing 2 pips anyway.
he didn’t even akitten on map, he just alt f4 or DC i’m unsure but he was out of game for quiet a while (more then 2 minutes)
Yep and their system doesn’t care since the guy was teamed up with you even if he doesn’t log on the map… it sounds BS and unfair… but it’s the current state.
EDIT: we are supposed to get a “Forfeit” game when someone is Afk in our team. But it’s disabled cause of bug with false dishonored bug.
If only we didn’t get rid of glory vendors since rank 70 got the infinite light equivalent in pve, iirc. This grinding idea was not allowed (this was still when gw1 pvp devs worked on gw2 pvp), with all the faults of the old glory system I kind of miss unlocking skins every 10 levels or crafting skins I wanted.
I don’t really understand the bound between your message and this topic XD
if u could enlighten me
I love hammer on my Guardian. I use it in my DH build which is all I play. The CC and #5 is amazing when you trap em in and lay traps.
So It could be another weapon ! which one do you think could/should be rework on guardian? =) (that’s the point of my topic)

well we are in the pvp topic so … it was especially for a pvp use my bad if i didn’t say it.
Hey guys,
The game has been launched for more than 3 years now. With HoT, they bring new weapons and class mechanics (most of those are stronger than core ones.)
After 3 years, i really think they should rework the most underwhelming weapons of each core classes. Just look at League of legends for example: they rework every old champions. Anet already did some reworks on ele for example (remember the old heart staff 4?) , on engineer with shield skills, or an utility skill on mesmer (mimic? not sure)
I think Anet should pick the “weaker” weapon on each class and try to rework it to make it more usefull in the game. So guys …. I’m asking …. WOuld you mind about this? And which weapon for each class need a rework?
My thoughts :
Elementalist – scepter
Thief – Pistol main hand
Warrior – Axe off hand
Ranger – Axe off hand
Guardian – Hammer
Necromant – Focus
Mesmer – scepter?
Engineer – Shield
Edit: I really need some “fresh air” (no joke) in this game so I think it could be the solution for it.
They do OK damage…the range on them can make them a handicap at times imo. But cant complain about all those boons when cast
They do really good dmg for a celestial build , u should say.
DS gives immune to condies … and then soft CCs (chill, cripple, immob)
Ok it gives ONE immune to hard CC (fear)
The other ones (daze, stun, knock back-down, pull) can still be applied and remember … ele doesn’t run stability anymore. It’s kinda Easy to abuse your CCs on an ele (especially since every class gain soooo much CCs with HoT.)
Last game I played on warrior, their eles were bursted down so fast it was insane. Nothing quite like a necro stripping protection and gunflaming an ele in the face for 9k over and over. Sorry, maybe they just need to make thieves and warrior a little more viable again. Those two classes are very power based eccentric classes. DS doesn’t need a nerf, just thief and warrior needs some buffs.
I guess u found the right solution. I really think #NoSarcasm
This thread was Obviously made for necro’s to cry. Ele is the only class that keeps reaper in check. Oh there is a counter to your condi bomb ?? boohoo lets go cry on the forums!
Well DS ele is a counter only when he has more than 89% Hp. Unless … necro can enjoy killing the ele quite Easily …
Why would u kill a bunker in 1v1 anyway? Would u fight a chronobunker in 1v1?
Common guys that is a GM trait worthless under %90 HP.
Look what nos does to DS Eles with Wanderer gear (0 Power) with chillomancer….
http://www.twitch.tv/noscoc/v/32498263
watch 00:50:00
Are you comparing your “average” necro to @Nos ?..lol good joke my friend ^^
And your average Ele to this ? XD
There’s 13 differents conditions in the game (if I didn’t forget one or two) there’s 5 condies dealing dmg (6 if u count chill from reaper)
When you use a cleansing skill, you remove the last condies applied (some skill/traits are different about that)
On Ele : each shout cleanse 1 or 2 condies (with cleansing water)
water attunement 1cleanse or 2 (with cleansing water AND major trait)
The cleansing flame remove 5 (if I remember) but no one using it anymore.
Water staff 5 removes 10 condies on a 10 sec period.
Water overload removes 5.
With most of the cleanse, you have a “chance” to waste totally your cleans by cleansing slow-cripple-immobilize-blind-vulnerability-fear(-chill) that just has been applied right at this moment.
Plus … A support build is made for support (as it says) and it’s almost 2vs2 or even 4vs4 build. Don’t tell me with all those ppl, u can’t take off his DS …
Advice: Ele hasn’t that much stability now… even some builds have none… Overabuse all the kittening CC mesmer-necro-revenant-guard-ranger have and it’s GG Wp in 5 sec.
Greetings.
EDIT: Even if DS is re-applied, Condies previously applied are still effective.

+1 for the “split the reward” for everyone … Amber should gain more pips than diamond or the opposite … Diamond should gain less pips than Amber …
Hey guys, this is a serious topic and i’m not angry at all… i’m just trying to share my thoughts to make this system more fair. Thanks
The pips reward system has to take care of more parameters
For now it’s kinda only average winning rate + score ratio. Those 2 parameters will determinate how many pips u will win/lose.
But (i think) It has to take care of afk ppl too. The rewarding system has to be kind about the team who has an afk/leaver. And punish maybe more the leaver, Maybe I said)
For this to work, I guess this reward has to be “different” for all 10 players. Let me explain. Ppl Qing with low division: the lower division gain more pips and the other ones less or none.
I had more ideas but I forgot them for now =D So let’s check later and hope u will get more constructive ideas
Thanks for reading boyz and grills.
ruby players aren’t a thing… diamond either… there’s a lot of dumb player in both leagues….
For now … i’m feeling leagues doesn’t mean anything… Look at me , I’m almost diamond LeL (and loosing 2 pips for a game I was supposed to win but i didn’t cause AFK ppl)
Anet said they would never make Dedicated Healing Classes/Specs.
Why did you create Druid…
Furthermore why is this allowed in sPvP
I loved playing Monk in Guild Wars 1 however if your going to make a promise…
Then keep your promise.
Anet = Politician
How is Druid much different than old Water/Arcana/X with Staff or Tempest now…?
Pets deal an insane amount of dmg
Tempest just deal “decent” dmg on air overload… fire isn’t an issue till it’s easy to not stand in.

u won’t have that much time between 2 pvp seasons … i guess so right after the 1st season probably
10k drinks is fine lol finished mine last night
how many gold did u spend? 300 golds?
a ratio … your team’ score / 500 = score ratio (or 525 or 650 … depends of the map)
0.1 = 10 % = 50 pts
0.2 = 20 % = 100 pts
0.4 = 40 % = 200 pts
0.6 = 60% = 300 pts
0.8 = 80 % = 400 pts
I don’t know if Those points are caps (380 is still 0.6) or average number (380 is closer to 0.8 than 0.6)
it was 1/2 cast time + 1/4 after cast
Now it’s 3/4 cast time + no after cast …
u can instantly salvaged it right after getting it (since it has been unlocked in your collection)
Remember, some people can’t even do the JP once. rolls eyes
If they can’t do it once why does it matter what the "perceieved cost * is? no amount of gold will allow them to buy their way past the other required piece.
If they can do it 3 times they can work to do it minimum 6 times in 30 mins for fastest present gain, if they cant do that they can do bells or eif they cant do either they can simply do toypocalypse
If you don’t put in the same amount of effort why should it even be considered that you recieve the same reward? This entitled generation
Remember, if you can do this thing anytime in a year, I think 10k is piece a cake.
But actually, you can do just in this 2 to 4 weeks and “Only you can do is earn gifts again and again”Yea you do hard…. do hard to break your life and holiday without any enjoy.
Bro…it’s a game ok? not your work. It’s holiday festival ok? not festival working time.
It’s an achievement which is available only during wintersday so U can’t do it pass this event. The achievement progress won’t be available anymore.
U can not die (almost) vs scrapper but he won’t die either
If the point is cap for u team then no worry (till their teammates come) if the point is cap for him… then … don’t waste more time in it and be usefull elsewhere.
If there’s no cap … ask for quick help from ur teammates.
U mad? =D cause the game (and the life) is full of frustrating things… the best advice I could make :“get over it”
well a total MMR resest could be painful for new players who will have to face pro players early.
But I think a partial reset shoud be fine . Just cut the MMR 2 times or down every ppl who was above a certain point to a cap. (Eg two ppl that had 250 and 550 respectively are both downed to 100) and ppl under 100 are downed to zero.
Your thoughts guys?
What about rating decay for soloq? Im going afk for 9 days, how will that affect my division and pip standing?
it’s about leaderboard and especially TEAM leaderboard…. not pips nor division nor SOLO Q … U won’t loose any pips u have won .
and rock beats scissors..
leaving paper to beat rock..
what beats diamond skin bunker tempest?
Is it Rev, or has the nerf hammer beat him into submission?
I say….nerf diamond skin :-), if only to see what you will complain about when losing against eles anyway ^^
How would u nerf it anyway? make it to 99% health bar? plz it’s a GRANDMASTER trait … ele has enough useless grandmaster. (even if it’s bad design) need a rework … not a nerf.
I’m all for making DS a better, more active Grandmaster, but only if stuff like braindead condi spam and auto-attack spam are nerfed as well.
+1
Don’t forget it’s a GRANDMASTER trait … things like" 2 sec resistance on earth" are adept on revenant (mallyx with 5 sec inner cd… we have 8 -10-20 sec to come back to earth)
Except it’s not even close to being overpowered. It serves 0 purpose against power based players, and only slightly counters condi based players. If you can’t do 1800 direct damage or can’t get help from a teammate to break through it because your too bad to do it yourself you don’t deserve to beat the ele.
Again, why do people assume Im fighting the ele? i AM the ele.
40% damage reduction, 3 auras, a healing skill, 10% damage reduction from frost aura, elite to give me another aura.
Effective health is a lot more than 1.8k, on top of that I have over 9k of healing in a matter of seconds. You cant see things in a vacuum, truth is; even with 2 people, it can be tough to break through my health.
Lel I just saw an Ele for the pro league got destroyed in 5 sec ( in 2vs1) … well ok he was from NA but still !(spookie vs APex) Stop saying crap =D

There is always a gap in between invuls . mesmer has low hp pool don’t waste your skills when you can’t hurt the mesmer wait for the gap and burst hard. Do not let up keep at it.
It’s pretty much impossible to kill a bunker 1 v 1 but 2 v 1 is very doable. Since the bunker mesmer is doing no damage to you , it’s just matter of time in a 2v 1 or 2 v2 for you to kill the mesmer. Now the kitten part is if the mesmer is on a team he/she will be flash rezed that’s when you know you are kittened .
is 29k Hp a low Hp pooL? i think not
ofc you can justify it. Condies are kitten OP these days… and it’s another way to “counter” condies for a short period of time.
they are dead … almost except revenant (or even scrapper) I don’t like this condi meta … it’s so boring
yep legendary 2 or 1 ? if amber is the number one?
