Guild Wars 2

Despite a lot of hate on these forums and Reddit, I think this was the best year of Guild Wars 2 since launch. While there are obviously things that can be improved and worked on, the future of Guild Wars 2 is looking extremely bright. Great job Anet!

I absolutely love the armor! However, I think they picked terrible colors to show it off. It’ll look glorious in Shadow Abyss!

I love the jack of all trades feel to them. While in the past jack of all trades professions have just felt weak, Revenant feels decent enough in most roles. I am a slave to boons though. And Dragon Stance is just godly. They designed facets how they should have designed signets in my opinion.

I really agree with this! This is what Signets should have always been

There’s a lot of negativity on this forum regarding the Revenant and with good reason most of the time.

With this thread, I’d like to bring people together to discuss what they like about the Revenant! What builds do you run for fun or enjoy doing even though it may not be the most optimal?

That’s like saying, “There’s a change, something is going to happen”

I beat it as a Scepter/Dagger Necromancer! 30/30/0/10/0. Will post full build later. Got it in under 20 tries

After playing a Necromancer and a Mesmer and it is the most fun I have had in this game yet. The combat just feels so interactive and everything is so engaging. Swapping elements like a boss is just so enjoyable. I feel as if I can play any style if I wanted due to my variety of skills and the conjurer weapons. I just spent money on both cultural armor for my Necro and Mesmer and now I don’t even want to touch them anymore!

Who else loves the Ele?!

I rolled an Asura Mesmer because I actually tend to use their Utility Skills in certain PvE instances.

First off, http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Radiation_Field is great for fighting veterans and champions solo.

Second, http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Pain_Inverter is on a 30 second cooldown and has virtually become party of my rotation with a confusion/shatter build.

I love the style of Asura as it is plus the benefit of having two skills that I actually use in certain circumstances was a great reason to roll one and I do not regret it!

I think removing the 7 days limit on server transfers for today would be a good thing. I transferred servers to play with my brother for a little bit not realizing I wouldn’t be able to transfer back to my home world before free server transfers were removed. Now I am going to be stuck on this server I don’t give a crap about.

I will admit that I did make a mistake and didn’t look up information as I was coming back from a long break, but I am sure I am not the only person in a similar situation.

Also, I remember there being some major changes coming to the Ranger. What did those end up being?

Yeah I played Guild Wars for four years so I know how A-Net rolls. I couldn’t find anything anywhere regarding my topic though. I appreciate the reply!

What happened with the Mesmer?

I haven’t played since I completed the Halloween event. I did some searching and couldn’t find anything. I was wondering which class has changed the most since the game launched?

I disagree with adding ranks in the game AT LEAST until server transfers are no longer free. Even when they are, you’ll see the FPS effect occur. You’ll start seeing people exploiting the system to try and get their personal rank higher. Larger Guilds will be able to split across two servers and essentially just farm each other to gain these personal ranks. Even if it isn’t done through kills, but through obtaining keeps or defending keeps, again it’s something that can be farmed. Due to the structure of WvWvW, I do not think there is a meaningful way to include personal ranks without causing a huge increase in exploits to farm these new titles or ranks.

Best holiday event I have ever experienced! Thank you!

This is the best idea I have seen yet.

Time to start training for real!

I was trying to browse a few server specific forums and I couldn’t seem to find them. Am I missing them or do they not exist?

This is great news. I was literally browsing the forums in search of a new class to roll.

Lately, I have seen a huge increase of Mesmers due to their potency in WvWvW play and SPvP. I saw a lot of Guardians early on, but I have seen fewer and fewer of them lately. Same with Rangers.

What have other people noticed?

That’s a very good answer. Thank you very much. Does this include being able to craft the Halloween Items?

I was wondering if the Halloween Events will be available in 100% for all levels?

Thanks,

You may want to try out a Dagger/Dagger build. It fits what you seem to want

Hammer is still too slow and its damage isnt considerably higher to surpress a gs.

Working as intended. It’s the control weapon for guardians, not their high direct damage weapon. Take a look at every other class, except necros, and you’ll see that they have a range of weapons that suit differing styles of play. The way the game is designed is not for you pick your weapon and then decide what you’ll do with it, it’s you pick what you want to do and then pick your weapon, utilities, and traits.

Actually it isn’t working as intended. A red posted regarding the Hammer saying there are some quality of life changes coming to the hammer to make it more responsive and fluid to the player instead of being slow and clunky.
