all prof’s are easy to learn. but some of them are hard to master. it’s called skill cap. i can’t say which one has high skill cap, but I can say which one hasnt it:
any bunker
any AI based
any condi spam
any prof. based on passive defense (or should I merge this point with “bunker” one?)
I am playing as full bers offense ele, but ele doesn’t look like hard prof for me. In other hand I can say which builds supposed to be high skill capped:
single target
balanced or offensive build (bers/valk/caval/cele)
active dmg mitigation i.e. dodge/cc/blind/interrupts
no AI
maybe forgot something to add, to qualify this list you can make build in any prof you like.
when they nerf all condi bunkers they ll become free to do with DS whatever they want.
yes. trait design not good at all. but condi bunker meta is worse.
nerf condi – nerf ds.
oh yeah, if they nerf DS in any way they ll just make it useless. hm…I mean even more useless than now
Oh no! Eles are viable now! Please nerf back to bad, kthnx. Also I don’t even have an ele but I’m fairly sure that its impossible to take most of those traits you’re QQing about.

there are 3 GM traits in his list. and all this GM traits from 1 line. lol
after wardrobe system and “legendaries” for all char’s, the value of legend’s drops a lot. yes, people still have stats on-fly, buy that’s definitely not enough.
if devs add sigil on-fly feature, this will be one more reason to have legendary, not just skin. like double inci/bolt .
Yes… I only wait 10 minutes for team and 25 min for solo tournaments in average…
I really don’t know how you manage to do that. No matter what time I queue, the average waiting time is 45 seconds.
Lucky you…. My team arena queue is 5-10 min. (Europe server, prime time). I wasn’t able to start solo arena yet (after patch), because I stop queue after 15 mins. I dont speak for majority, but for me it isn’t funn at all to spend 60% of time waiting for a game…
sir, you are a big liar. its not like big, more like BIG liar.
Battle of Khylo, plattforms at the clocktower, enough distance to the stairs that it would have been at least 3 or 4 ports to get their via stairs, and he was instantly up there.
being all game in home point is not worse it, sometimes you can leave it to help your team @ mid. that was your fault and he was right, except he chose wrong way to express it. I can understand why he was mad.
and there is nothing special, sometimes my enemies wish me “I hope your family die”. get over it and keep playing and avoid such mistakes.
normal situation. this is downed state skill. Phantasmal Rogue performs backstab or heartseeker i dont remember which one or maybe both. and yeah, it hits very hard.
mm necro is one of the easiest build almost fully carried by minions AI. so why not? its rly good choice for newbies/pvers that never played pvp before.
It used to be that necromancers and engineers could do certain tricks to break through Diamond Skin, although it required some effort and a little luck. With the Signet of Restoration buff, it’s now impossible.
It’s not too bad because the build is rare, but, honestly, the trait shouldn’t exist in the first place.
My advice: Make the threshold 75 percent but make it only reduce condition durations by 50 percent.
signet of resto before patch – 156 hp/cast
after – 226 hp/cast.
wow. game breaking!
That’s not 18%.
kitten this forums bugs. ok , once more
gw2skills still not updated
176hp/cast with 10 in water
212hp/cast now 10 in water
Signet of Restoration skill: Reduced the passive healing by 18% in PvP.
I don’t know whether your calculations are wrong or whether theirs are. It’s just not what they stated.
well, now im totally confused. why do you link last year patch notes? we are talking about this patch and in this patch they make signet same as pve version.
so they buffed signet by 17%. that’s not game breaking, coz you need to cast something to be healed, this is not passive like warrior’s version.

if they add reward track for precursor ill gonna be so happy.
no more boring dungeons, no more unrewarding fotm’s, no more braindead wvw, no more staff guardian farm.
wow, sounds too cool to be implemented…coz you know…devs like grind/zerg fest and karma trains and devs dont like kitten on them what will happen if they announce this reward track.
ppl rly need to understand why ele/engi complains – because sigils got separate cooldowns and directly hurts our builds coz by devs words sigils are the part of a build.
this new patch brings a good choice for sigils, at least in 1 build I wish I could use all those new shiny sigils.
people saying something like “trololo u have 4 att” , are you ever play ele? I mean not just created it and forget about. are you actually played ele for a long time?
I can’t say much about Ele, coz pvp flooded with PvErs and i did not fought against good PvPer yet.
I don’t think ele are viable in meta, but we are a bit stronger due to change of runes/sigils.
in other way I must admit that there is a slight possibility that ele got a build diversity.
ok ok. not slight.
strenth/battle/air + fresh air is stronger, not enough tested but seems better than scholar.
still some kitten by devs like sigil of int vs arcane power
and useless signets/conjurer
and still incredibly high cd’s
and 4 sigils vs 2 sigils
well. in conclusion I can say that ele is in a pretty good place. hm…is this called balance?
Guardian: What is the mobility like on this class?
Warrior: Cancer tank?
Thief: If played well, how is the survivability? Is it a glass cannon?
G: lowest in game
W:has diff. builds, you can find your way how to play
T:in any build low hp/armor. but a lot of dodges/blinds/shadowsteps. active defense.
there is no build diversity in wow. each class has only 1 viable spec and build. some classes on top, some on bottom of food chain. and blizzard like to nerf top classes into the ground and makes bottom classes like kings. oh yeah, dont forget about rogues that are viable in any patch.
so there is no difference between wow & gw2. as any other games too. always be top classes/builds.
Weapon rarity has no affect on stats in structured PvP.
Thank you for the clarification, but this hasn’t been made clear in-game. How will players know when they’ve entered with exotic weapons and the weaponsmith sells white-grade equipment?
By reading the tooltip in the PvP build interface, it says that attributes are normalized in pvp.
Sadly… Not that many people read the UI :/.
Usually when I answer people in map chat asking how to change their build, they literally had no idea there even were 3 buttons at the top :O.
I hope there will be a new tutorial for first time players.
lol. this 3 buttons annoy me as hell, I’m feeling like something wrong with UI, how ppl can not note them…
maybe devs should add a tutorial. mandatory tutorial which cant be skipped and blocks/prevents to join in any pvp.
deso is not a rival for sfr.
deso wvw community (that actually like wvw, not just achiev/karma train) are rly small, while ppl keep transfer to sfr with expectation for green grass and shiny sun.
its like a coterie:
what is the biggest wvw community?
sfr
>>transer to sfr<<
now sfr wvw comm. even bigger
lol.
to TS > I know how you are feeling, but there is nothing how we can solve it. sfr will keep helps another server every match up with us.
dear sfr players,
stop double team us every time we are in the same roster.
that was funny and unexpected for first time, after 3 days of first match you start to defend 3rd place (dont remember server name) towers/keeps
than you start to ignore 3rd place at all and concentrated only on deso.
in next week history repeats with baruch bay. that was rly funny, are you so scared for deso or something? why do you ignore BB zergs? tower? it looks like strategy, but why do you care who will be placed second?
so dear sfr players, you are nothing without double team and 50ppl blob running round and round in a night.
Question 2: Do you really wanna see SFR focusing on Desolation ?
Desolation regarding all the flame and threaten towards SFR. What you saw today, was not even an demo, but you can ask Vizunah for informations.
seriously? are you threaten us? lol
I cant say for all deso players as no one. but what i want to say will be deleted/censored.
well, he is right. market was balanced coz dyes constantly drops, now we dont have any source of dyes except laurels and one day duplicated dyes gone. prices will rise. but i think it will happen after 1-2 monthes.
check TP, there are only 17k dyes. for market this is nothing. if one player want to full his dyes table he needs ~400 of them. everyday new ppl join gw2. if I have gold ill spend it all to invest into dyes.
Here’s a tip for new players: if you are losing, it is not your fault and this is the time to rage on your teammates. I recommend insults aimed at how much of a PvE hero someone is and instructing people to go back to the hotjoins.
Also, at the beginning of the match, let everyone know how boss you are and that if they don’t carry, you will afk.
I think we are in a burst meta, and it is glorious!!! Things are dying left and right, and its not just boring bunker wars!!
Some things might be a little over the top, but I don’t even think condis are an issue from my most recent play-throughs. You can just CC and burst these condi specs down before their condis kill you.
Everything is just dying left and right it seems.
we are not in burst meta. still condi bunker spam.
sigils got separate cds, sometimes its a bit more dmg, but this is not enough to abandon condi bunker meta.
just make them craftable and nerf 7% to 5%. problem solved.
or you can buff scholar to 13% (5% to 7% = ~30% buff), coz this rune actually require some skill.
Some of the worst ideas I have ever read. We need MORE VARIETY, not scholar for all.
scholar is the best dps rune set. like berserker best for pve. there is no such thing called build diversity, its a myth. some things are just better, no matter what.
so deal with it, something/someone always be better than others. its called life, even in video game.
