Guild Wars 2

In the right hands no other class can beat an Ele without a crap ton of luck. I know some people enjoy the complexity of the class, but when it puts a very skilled player at a HUGE advantage over other skilled players of other classes the class needs a nerf.

I hope the devs nerf your class into oblivion personally but making sure you all actually have to work to kill someone will be good enough. So sad that the average Eles will suffer because of skilled players which doesn’t happen to the other classes.

I am done with the game, I just can’t nor will i keep playing a game that is not balanced in any way shape or form.

I am tired of playing the same servers every week in WvW even though we lose on purpose to get OUT of the tier we are in yet that fails.

I am tired of the pvp balance which is NOT there, and the total ignoring of classes by the dev team who would rather do holiday events than fix their broken classes and class balance.

I wont even get into making money in this game which takes so much time and effort it really is not even worth it.

How pve item skins must be attained through pvp and vice a verse

The game has potential if the devs would stop what they have been doing and fix the game.

A couple of great games are out later this month and while I wish GW2 to do well I really do not see that happening with their current business format.

Good bye and no you all can not have my stuff I already deleted all my toons.

I am seeking a build that has AOE (non bow) does good DPS and is not glass cannon. I currently use D/D with S/D off hand. I get like 4-5 mobs together and Death Blossom about 3-4 times than switch to S/D.

While it works ok I am using P/P/C armor with P/P/T jewels and was wondering if there was a better armor setup for what i want.

Thanks in advance

Faelaan.4681:

Start up a Guild named…. Map Completion Group. Or better yet, get involved with your server’s WvW battles.

WvW was the last place I went to for map completion… I got it done and I haven’t really returned to the PvE world since. PvE map completion was torture… WvW was FUN.

I am out there every single day but ya know what our server is always at the bottom, our server kind of SUCKS and so week after week we can never take said points.

This would be all fine and dandy cept transfering takes around what $25 now and why the F would I want to leave my friends who play on this server?

Sad part is some servers just suck at pvp and wvw

What gear/runes you running with?

I am trying to get into P/P (I like the looks) but so far D/anything kills faster and has better synergy.

usually solo taking small places or with 1-2 others doing the same.

Every single class I come across kicks my but with little problems. I have on all p/v/t gear (all exotic) and still die so fast. (use d/d & Staff)

Not only that but you can’t get away from anyone and seems like the ONLY class I can beat 1v1 is against Rangers. Forget 2v1 or 3v1 I wont even get 1 person to 50% health before I am kitten

Does ANET hate our class so bad or am I simply doing something wrong.

need help please

I was just curious if condition damage is better then precision..

I will start replacing pieces just curious about the above

I am currently running P/V/T (even the runes on the armor) and feel I am way to tanky and could be doing better damage while still having survivability.

Wondering if a Power, crit, Tough or Power, Precision, Tough would be better for my needs.

I currently use dagger/horn and Staff as well

Thanks

I ran into this Warrior who was sword/horn with my necro. I am in full P/T/V gear and this Warrior never dropped below 80% health while rocking me to 0 in little time (even healed 2 times).

If I had been full GC would of killed me before I even knew what hit me.

How do you beat this?

I am curious as it makes no sense.

Whatever 90% of WoW is cloned from other games it is what the MMO market is good at. The ONLY thing Wow had going for it in my opinion was end game raiding as no other game prior or past has had that level of end game content.

But again 90% of everything in that game has been copied from other games especially the EQ series, DAOC, UO, and others who all were out before it.

So you all have survivibility but take forever to kill anyone… Ya just not my playstyle..

And here comes the biggest one —- If you want ranger (or any other class) to be buffed IN GENERAL —— best way is —— stop playing it.

So I have to stop playing the class I want to play to play a class I don’t really want to play in the HOPES that one day the devs will fix my class? No thanks

While I agree with you on the sword mechanics some of what you say is well just wrong.

While pets might not need more control the AI needs some serious tweaking not fun when I need my pet and the idiot is off attacking something I did not tell it to attack.

We need better damage the SB and LB both need damage tweaks and perhaps even skill changes.

Spirits do suck they need to be anchored to you and move with you and not die to a single hit like they do now.

Lame if you ask me

Than again I expect nothing less from the devs our class is so borked and nothing but nerfs we get

I have tested this over and over and it doesn’t seem to be stacking with our Signet of Locust.. Is this the way it is supposed to be and if so WHY?

How about we simply allow a 25% passive run buff in PVE only and when we enter a PVP area it doesn’t work… Would that all make you people happy?

I am sick and tired of the people saying how well our mobility is when it is NOT. We are the ONLY class that has to give up stats and a weapon choice just to attain an semblence of 33% run speed for any decent amount of time.

Osicay your way works I will give it that. Yet we still have to gimp ourselves to be able to keep up with lets say a small WvW group.

I just believe everyone should have the same speed uptime of 25% with classes being different with the 33% uptime.

My main is a Ranger and we now have a perma 25% run buff, my other is a Necro and the same thing (both were leveled before that patch)….

It seems EVERY SINGLE CLASS has a way to stay at 25% – 33% 90-100% of the time EXCEPT Mesmer…

How do you all deal with that? As is you are FORCED to use a focus and use a worthless trait that has NO secondary passive or functional skill like so many other classes as well.

It is just so nice to be able to get from point A to point B & C fast and without having to gimp myself because I am FORCED to use a specific offhand.

I can only imagine what you all go through in WvW or Pvp being unable to get away or catch anyone who wants to leave.

So I ask again how do you all deal with being the slowest class in the game?

I will disagree with you on some points..

1: The worst profession at damaging objects
I have no issues damaging objects with dagger I destroy them just as fast as any other

2: The lowest damage profession in the game
I disagree here as well I kill things just as fast as say a Mesmer or Ranger ect….. While we don’t come close to some classes we are not the worst.

Other than that you are also forgetting we have a pet(s) that are broken and do not even ATTACK at times. Not to mention their A.D.D and just go off to smell the flowers.

I am not saying Necros are fine they are not but the 2 points I listed above are really not an issue if you use Daggers: Now using other weapons maybe but not daggers.

Wow I mean just Wow……………. Before this patch we were the WORST class in the game and with a FEW buffs we are now one of the most OP classes? I don’t think so….

Our damage has not changed only the time it takes our arrows to reach their target.
We got some traits fixed ect

We are no more OP than we were 3 months ago just in a much better place.

Guardians/Thieves/Mesmers/Ele’s are still much more OP than we are.

I know a lot of people wish it would be changed and I can see why you all would want it to be changed. Yet I actually like it and do not want to see it go bye bye.

I also ask the question is it even possible for that series of attacks to work without it rooting you? I mean in a fight where people are moving everywhere the leap would be more of a hassle then anything as I found out when trying to get the achievement in the new Trixx instance (where you destroy everything).

You try to attack something and when the leap part of the chain came into play it sent you flying missing what you wanted to attack.

I believe the semi-root is there for a reason as without it the chain would be totally broken.

Comments?

The patch is dling way to slow and 5200 files?

You all should NOT release new builds during PRIME TIME

I have been Dling the patch for 16 minutes and it is only at 1% …………………… 1%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am looking for a server to call home. I would like a server that has balanced PVE and PVP participation, and is at least somewhat decent in WvW.

Thanks

I do fractals and instances and all I see from thieves are P/P thieves which is just as bad as a Guardian using staff. Your damage SUCKS and all you are doing is making the fights take longer. I don’t care if you enjoy the looks or playstyle you should be doing what you can to help down mobs in an efficient manner not doing the crappiest damage of everyone in the group.

STOP using P/P in group instances it SUCKS

Just hit 80 with my Ranger and I have no clue what I should be doing next. Any suggestions would be awesome.

Well well yet ANOTHER person that needs to l2p. Yes Necros have bugs (but so does every other class). Necro will never be the outright DPS snore class the Warrior and Guardian are.

Their damage comes from knowing your cooldowns and abilities and knowing when to use them. People like you would have this class so dumbed down that a Warriors baby could play it.

You are just a little pissed off because Necro’s actually have to work at somethings unlike Warriors who can faceroll themselves to victory (and where is the fun in that?)

I want to level up a Necro and all I hear on the Necro Forums is how bad, and crappy this class is.. Come on let us be honest shall we?

Is the class really that bad? Do we have to work 10x harder then another class to get the same end results in PvP and PvE?

I find Guardians and Warriors boring, and yes I know they the most powerful classes in the game right now.

So really can someone tell me honestly how bad this class is or is not?

reikken.4961:

Devs do not visit any of the profession forums at all. I saw that there was one (1) post in one (1) of the forums, but that’s it.

They have responded to Rangers, necros, Engi’s to name a few…

Perhaps your class is good and your QQing is well uncalled for? I mean you played a Ranger? You guys have it easy compared to that class.

So what you are saying is I must play the spec you state or stop crying? How about the spec I would like to play?

Get over yourself

Dolan.3071:

It’s not the class, it’s how you use it.

That is such crap…. There are classes that really are in need of help and do not stand up to other classes when equal gear and player skill comes in.

fixit.7189:

The two classes you listed in OT only get crippling nerfs every single patch, like the one they just did today.

Stay FAR away from these two classes if you are wise.

Go with the ‘pet’ classes who get huge buffs even if they don’t need it like warriors.

ROFLMAO you talking about the Ranger class? They still suck harder than any other class.

I can’t decide which one I want to play, and would like you help.

I am looking for people who have both at or near 80 and give me the pro/cons of each one in a pve and wvwvw setting.

Which one kills faster and which one has more survivability etc.

Thanks

Pretty good Vid, finally one I could sit through.

Not unless you are comfortable with 10x more keybindings to do the same thing some classes can do while only needing 5-6.

To me the risk vs reward is nice, but the time vs reward sucks. My Warrior can kill 6+ mobs in a fraction of the time my Ele can and not even break a sweat. It is really kind of sad…

In every single MMO I have played the dev teams of those MMO’s will put patch notes out BEFORE the actual patch so people know what to expect.

Why can’t you do this as well? Why do you make us wait for it like we did when we were kids on Christmas? I would like to know what to expect BEFORE the actual patch day.

Is there anyway you all could be kind enough to change your stance on this?

We want unbalanced game play fixed.. You can perma stealth while killing someone 100-0 that is NOT supposed to happen.

It really is not fair when a Thief can 100-0 someone and they can’t even see them to target them, it is like those stupid 100-0 stunlocks in the game that shall not be mentioned.

1: don’t care let them all die
2: Devs have already admitted that Thieves will be toned down Specially in the backstab area). Stealth rendering issue is a kitten bug that should of been fixed at launch and makes teri-bad Thieves actually look good.

3: One of not the lowest that belongs to the Ele I believe, but your class has so many ways to get away and heal it is not even funny.

4: We are not going to argue that Guardians and Messmers are not OP, but if those are the ONLY 2 classes you need to catch unaware to beat then there is a problem (by your own words).

5: That goes back to rendering issues with stealth, I got ganked 100-0 and never saw the Thief until I was dead. Sure traps and such work but if you can’t target them you can’t do your main damaging abilities putting you at a huge disadvantage.

6: That is such a crock it encourages the punishment of zerging? WOW is your head in the clouds. NO SINGLE class should be able to keep 10+ people from capping for as long as it is going on right now.

7: Nope kill all the kitten fairies.

8: Get ready to be nerfed into oblivion

Yet that is all I see is Staff Ele’s (with a few D/D) in pve and wvwvw..

I thought Staff for Ele stunk?

What gives

I just love how all the Thieves come to the forums to defend their ability to kill someone in under 6 seconds and in such a fashion that the other person can’t do a darn thing.

Yes the rendering issue when fixed will be a HUGE nerf to alot of Thieves (bad ones) as it will no longer allow them immunity.

Yet to say you are not the most OP class in pvp is an understatement.

Creslin I disagree with you to a certain extent… Your reaction/reflex’s are very good above average and that alone is what makes you good at the Ele class.. People who do not have your reaction/reflex’s are not going to be able to compete at the top and this is where the problem arises.

There are people who can take ANY class and make them look like a Demi-god, but just because a few people can doesn’t mean the class is ok.

I also agree that the class was NOT meant to be a attunment swapping fiend, but more like strong in one attunment while the other 3 provide support but not being as strong as your main attunment.

They will FIX this rendering issue and all you exploiters will QQ like little school girls yet it will not be a nerf but a much needed FIX.

I think if they fix that rendering issue Thieves will be fine

Title says it all

It seems to me that a D/D spec would be just as boring as a Ranger SB spec seeing the Dagger auto does the most damage (if I am wrong please let me know).

Staff seems decent but only for AOE pulls (and Warrior/Guardian do it better)

So where does that leave me?

Regardless Guardians and Mesmers will STILL be top dog in a areas even if we get buffed

ROFLMA are you SURE it is patch day tomorrow? I mean the week before the Halloween patch they skipped it. I am not holding my breath we will not get buffed for at least 1-2 weeks longer.

Gratz you have 8+ hours to keep at it until you learn every jump etc. Some of us do not have that time frame, and some people just stink at jumping games in video games.

I don’t mind a challenge but when you have other players in your way, depth perception issues and other issues it is really not fair. I have over the last 2 days managed to do it like 30 times and I have YET to make it past the 1st jumping part (right after you have to wait at the beginning)

I just don’t believe that achievements should be handed out based off of a skill some people JUST DO NOT HAVE

Really? This kind of complaint only comes from people who are not elite PvP’rs just regular Joe Smo pvp’rs.

I have no issues in pvp on my Ranger I win some I lose some it is the way it is supposed to be. I can’t win vs certain class/specs unless I change my spec and crap it is the WAY IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE.

All you sound like is someone who is crying over spilled milk

Is the game balanced around Average Joe’s? Heck no

Is the game balanced around Superior Joe’s? More than you think

DAG-NAB-IT WARRIORS ARE NOT OP THEY ARE WAY UNDER-POWERED..

You Guardians always trying to throw your OP onto other classes is pathetic. Sure that Warrior over there can out dps you by a decent amount but your survivability is 10x what a Warriors is.

Heck ya nerf the QQ out of Guardians and buff Warriors
