AR has the weakest coverage.

HoD and ET prefer to fight us vs each other.

There has been nothing but waypoints in HoD and ET all week.

I made my decision based on the old rankings system. Which meant we got to 14 while Ebay was at 13. I can’t move to BP because of obvious reasons and those other servers I am not so familiar with as I am with Ebay. Also given the current state of wvw I think the ol’AR that I remember could beat ALL those servers as they stand right now…why would I want to go there? Also DB is and will always be T2+. Ebay is getting bounced around from tier to tier. Which means we don’t have the numbers to always compete but we make due with what numbers we have….sound familiar right? I think you know what kind of make up Ebay has and since your in DB now you understand the underdog Ebay is now. So yea…I think I made the right decision.

Have fun always having someone to lead. I’ll be in Ebay morning capping for obivious reasons haha =P

WvW/GvG Guild Looking for Server

I transferred to Ebay Wednesday of last week. I fought them for 14 weeks prior and knew most of the wvw guild make up of the server before coming over. I commanded against them and admired the way their wvw guilds fought. While they could of just blobbed us to death, they didn’t. Instead guilds would run in tandem and flank off each other.

Pug commanders rarely go into BL’s, so that leaves it up to roamers and the wvw guilds to do damage. Even taking the beating in T2, Ebay is still gaining more points than TC and DB combined. Also there are coverage gaps, little night presence, and a scrappy morning crew. Ebay gets bounced around from T2 to T4 so the variety in match ups is great. The wvw guilds here emphasis on open field fighting. Lot of roamers as well. I wouldn’t speak up for a server I just joined but I think a guild like yours would fit nicely on a server like Ebay. Lots of zerg busting going on here.

Sorry DH people but AR refugee’s are going 1 of 2 places it seems…Ebay and DB. I feel Ebay was a better decision. When AR/Ebay fought they were once ranked 13th and 14th. So the transfer wasn’t so “pay-to-win” but rather progression in climbing the tiers. Also no offense but DH has always been referred to as a lesser version of BP.

/salute to all ex AR players everywhere and the ones that stayed!

Nice match up! Glad we got out of the black hole of T5. Warning to any servers that get there…it will break your server. Unless you have KN like numbers you will not get out. Just ask Ebay, it took them 6 weeks to find out that AR doesn’t have a night crew to maximize it’s ptt to almost move up 8 weeks later but were stopped short and had to play us one more week lawlz. Now they are a solid T4 server and doing well. DR in the bandwagon days couldn’t break through and BP is on its second attempt. If you think you have the numbers and organization to get that far than good luck. If you don’t than better start getting those transfers. Maybe with the new set up but I doubt it. I think the only way to fix it would be to add the EU servers but that is a pipe dream!

SOS was equally important as ALS. Losing them both is the difference.

Here some chalk talk for havoc squads when we first faced SBI. I don’t think we could pull this maneuver off nowadays due to what we lost but here you go.

With about 5-15 guys I would look for wooden gates all while flipping camps. After each camp I would have (preferably an 80) someone waypoint a golem after each camp flipped. Now this havoc squad looks like a “karma” train. The trick is to get the havoc squad to clear a “path” on all keeps. So if we were to be on Hills side: we would clear N/S gate hills, move to SE gate garrison, and both N/NE bay gates. Now you have to do all the clearing in-between camp flips and golem builds. You want whatever defense there is to chase you and keep recapping what you take. “They” think it is a just a karma train when in reality we keep the train going and call in the server. This is after of course 5-10 golems were built. This would take about an hours worth of work but it was all worth in end because….

I would talk to all commanders and go to all maps to rally the server. Every one quickly gathered to SBI BL. I would take WAR to bay, as a grp of ALS, Crit, TDME and other wvw players would stay with the golems to take hills. Usually we were on inner bay by the time the main threat had capped garrison. Which was the prize. When SBI finally reacted it was too late the damage was done. While they were recapping their homeland, we would then move to Eternal and turn everything wood because we knew where the hive mind was. As for the golems they took minimal damage and we would just stash them. Oh and we capped all keeps in under 30 minutes doing this.

I think the people that brought AR to where it was are mostly no longer playing or on the server. At our peak we could barely beat BP. This is with the double team reset nights and the hole we had to climb out of every weekend. I think never having a night crew is what ultimately sealed the deal. All we needed was like 50 or so players to defend our real estate but it never materialized. Long ago when the first transfers fled it was because of our lack of night coverage. The joke is" fighting for 2nd" but the truth is we never had enough to begin with. Just hardened wvw players that don’t know the meaning of “wipe” but rather persistence. Anyway I would of went to Ebay haha but that is just me. Good luck to all AR transfers!

and remember….1 AR player is always worth 2

Reminds me when BP and AR were telling NSP to take care of the homeland. The hive mind loves eternal but if you don’t take care of the homeland than don’t complain when it starts turning green and red. FYI zerg defense is slow. Even if you get the numbers to wipe, the damage has been done. Making for easy keep caps throughout the day.

BP can pretty much do damage in any borderland as of now. AR is just persistent and opportunistic. The two AR commanders were getting relayed BP’s progress on the map due to the orange X’s. WW II swag! Fighting a war on two fronts is hard eh? Nice recovery though SBI.

So how did SBI beat AR last week?

They had a pajama party on Wednesday night we couldn’t recover from. I think they pvd us to 0. Also Eternal was a problem for us throughout the week. That is where the hive mind is located.

My comment was not towards BP but those [Lost] boys from NSP. If you read it correctly I was referring to when BP came back to tier 6, NSP still couldn’t beat us. We stomped them over and over. I was simply explaining to them that there is no reason to chest thump while on a server that has a history of edging us with pajama parties. This was during the BP/AR/NSP days of course when, NSP just gradually waned.

And dunberry the way you talk about ALS is the same way AR feels about BP. We have always felt this way about BP. Really sounds like Jscull rhetoric. I wish you were here when Ebay was giving us more props because we “make due” with what we have and are still competitive. Must of burned them because we know Ebay is what BP aspires to be. Also dude the whole beef between AR and BP is so Tier 6. Well unless AR beats BP then they get trolly and blame things other than themselves. But for the most part things have been cool. Oh and BP cut that crap about who the real threat is. You know dang well SBI had a pajama party to beat us last Wednesday night…sound familiar right. It’s like they tore a page out of your book. We just know that you know that you can score mad points off of SBI. I mean we capped all their keeps in less than 20 minutes once. Beat that!

Playing for 2nd is the joke. People leave AR because it isn’t easy getting the win. If you really want to know how hard it can’t be just play here for a week. We don’t have 50 people in EB waiting to fight like SBI/BP/Ebay. We don’t have a guild as big as BURN. We don’t have a server-wide accepted TS yet. We just have spirit.

[Lost] guys need to chill.You must be new to the Boris Rock brotherhood. Ebay respected our play, over BP’s. They were impressed on how much we do with so little. Does NSP really feel that bad about getting dropped down a tier…or two? NSP only beat us once after the first month of the game and that was due to the darn southsun event. After that we never lost. When BP came back to tier 5 we still stomped you guys over and over. I enjoyed the trolls and fights but let us be honest here. It was Kain that gutted your night crew and took a few prime time guilds from your server. Oh and after Hurricane Kain blew by, we beat both BP and NSP. Just thought some history was needed to shine some light on your AR beef.

I think every server knows when our coverage gakitten BI beat us because of it and BP knows when we sleep. It isn’t secret, we have lost a lot of matches at night. We can get zergs that rival BP’s and SBI’s just not as frequent. You want a challenge in commanding…come to AR!

Hey SBI it’s been fun. I am glad to hear ol’ MANvil Rock brought your server together to secure the win. We tend to bring the best out in servers. Make sure your commanders feed the puggies well.

AR what can I say…we lost it down the stretch again! Good job to all those wvw players and guilds that participated. It was nice to play two new servers. I think regardless of the not beating the odds it was good for our server.

So far AR has stood firm in the server brackets. I watched DR pass and fall under us. I seen us lose to BP multiple times, only to beat them a couple of times in a higher tier. I remember back in December when some IoJ guys came to recruit guilds from our server. We beat them months later. When first matched against NSP we lost only once and they dropped as far as tier 7. Now we have a new friend…SBI. I hope that your community is as solid as ours. Maybe we can do this again sometime?

IoJ keep up the good fight.

Good show TB! That was some good pressure in Bay last night. Props to the player trebbing for ya’ll and the one holding the gate door like a champ. We got to your zerg and were like “oh crap get to the tower!” WvW is about the advantages you have during any given situation. March my guild mates to their death or get in the tower and build an AC?

WAR went north of the bridge in bay. We were trying to bait you guys into fights so we could thin out your group only to buy time for ALS. Bay was at 0, we couldn’t get supplies in fast enough, and knew the only way to win was with man power. We managed to move your zerg across the bridge twice. Once ALS capped NE tower they moved to south gate and the rest is history.

AR chased a zerg down last night. From NW tower, to the skritt entrance, until we finally wiped em at NW camp. I was able to crtl t the commander from SBI guild and offered 1g for his head in /say! He, in a valiant effort, realized this and ran back at our forces to buy time for his fighters.

We don’t need a double team to keep up with you.

Yes, you do. That much is obvious. I’m not complaining, the team with more numbers should be 2v1’d. You’re delusional if you actually believe what you said, though.

I still stand by this because SBI doesn’t have enough wvw guilds to keep up with us and IoJ doesn’t have a wvw guild big enough. Our militia is more numerous than IoJ’s and fights better than the average SBI player. SBI can field some impressive numbers but AR is used to being in overwhelming situations. Anyone that has done homeland defense on AR during reset can attest to that! Overall I feel I come across your better wvw players in the late hours of the night. The ones that no what takes to win this week.

On the “multiple” commander thing. AR will have up to four tags at once on a map. We recognize each other. I know most all commanders and what they can bring to the table from their guild roster. Sometimes we pool resources, sometimes we just keep ya guessing. I think for the most part our commanders play nice with each other. I have heard stories but really people prefer some commanders over other commanders. They know who to follow.

I ran into VZ once. I am sorry for the misunderstanding. We roll over the majority of server I thought, “what the heck.” Yea big mistake…it was outside of south-gate bay somewhere.

Just putting it out there…WAR is in a kind of a rebuild phase. The “karma” trains that people love to hate, are a base teaching tool we use to get new GW 2 players familiar with WvW. It farms them badges/karma so when they hit 80 they have enough karma to buy the exotic Orr gear and the wvw exotic weapons. I would say we are about 2 server weeks away until we are really formidable.

Last night our “karma” train accounted for two keep takes, multiple tower/camp flips, and little things to keep you guys on your toes..in both IoJ and SBI. It has a snowball effect that is too fast to chase with a 40 man zerg. If you dont track it down and kill it a few times you will pay. To make matters worse we prefer the “outmanned” buff to boost our xp/karma output per hour. WAR learned this from our resident zerg idiot Nomnom back in the day. No matter how outnumbered and outclassed you maybe in open field…he “karma” train always works.

SBI we are creeping on a come up!

AR had a 2nd exodus of wvw players not so long ago Nomnom but I think we are fairing quite fine.

@Gravy, I sure haven’t seen any IoJ guys when we sweep your keeps. Since reset I have spent 90% of my WvW time in SBI BL. I have never, at one point thought, “man we need IoJ to help put pressure on SBI.” We don’t need a double team to keep up with you. FYI AR’s wvw community isn’t a bunch of “weekend” warriors. We are very consistent and typically don’t fair well on weekends but we are suckers for new pve content so let’s see what happens after Tuesday.

IoJ, if SBI is no longer red it means it’s wooden and the recap zerg usually leaves about 20 minutes after they recap their BL and go to EB.

I am hoping to see more tactics out of SBI wvw guilds. Other than the blob tactic I really haven’t learned anything. No wvw guilds stick out due to the blob and I am pretty sure SBI is starting to be aware of wvw guilds here on AR. When our wvw guilds fight the “blob” it only boasts our morale because it is nice to wipe or hold out against groups twice our size. You guys just remind of a bigger version of DH/BP…just more loot bags!

AR capped SBI with about 4 guilds in under 30 minutes and we didn’t all strike at the same location. Granted we could of but what would be the fun in that!

IoJ if you see WAR in your BL don’t get it twisted. If we are on a roll we like to run with that momentum so….either stop us or get out the way.

You make the maps bigger with more objectives to capture. If the maps are bigger than you need more smaller groups (less than 15) to cover more ground. You could still have your massive blob armies attack major objectives but the way the maps are now. People know how to navigate terrain way to quickly. And with the arrow cart buff it makes it really tough to ninja anything nowadays.

Well if this were to happen then you would just have to introduce new maps. IMO Anet should also take into consideration the wvw population of tiers 1-3 vs 4-8. Maybe make maps that accommodate to the size of those tiers. On the GvG suggestion I think they should beta a wvw a map with cap on it. Say 40 people.

AR suffers from not having any night presence. Our server now fights former allies that have an intimate knowledge of our server aka transfers aka traitors (good luck to you guys in ebay). BP just knows how to PvD us outside of prime time. While we have just enough to defend, we don’t have enough to be on the offensive to take some pressure off the defense. This was an issue on server reset night. AR fought off two big attacks by two respectable guilds from both opposing servers. The issue wasn’t that we couldn’t repel them. The issue was that we couldn’t staged an attack to put pressure on a ebay/bp borderland. The less a server is on defense the more they have to attack you with.

Outside of the obvious reasons such as numbers and no night crew. The lack of communication among the wvw community as a whole is in direct result to our plug in and play attitude. I think Anvil Rock needs a little Tier 6 to start getting organized whether it be commander to commander, rallying the server, communication guild to guild, etc… Rank 14 was as far as we could get for being a scrappy “pug” server. I believe we could always compete with BP but it would burn us out the way our community goes about wvw. It is almost a race to recap our BL and EB sector in the morning. AR puggies don’t like defense. Good fights all around though! Borlis Pass I think our rivalry will go down as one of the best in early GW 2.

Any guilds that want to GvG 15-25 man hit WAR up. We are looking to kill or learn from other guilds. If this match has gotten stale and we already know 1 of the 2 outcomes then why not train against one another. We need about a 12-24 hrs notice and must be during NA prime time.

MANVIL ROCK! MANVIL ROCK!! MANVIL ROCK!!!

Come to the best spvp NA server. The spvp here is a great to hone your fighting skills. There are teams in tpvp here that you will not do any damage too. Where we have climbed painfully slow up the from rank 21 to where we are currently…14. That proves we were never a “Bandwagon” server. We have never had a night presence and play catch up to BP’s pajama parties during our prime time. We fight with whatever we can and are willing to work with other guilds. Our wvw guilds need help though. I think in tier 5 Ebay and AR are superior to BP in open field.

If you go to Ebay then you will crush blue and red. If you go to AR/BP then one is being sent to tier 6 and the other will make a run at green. Either way I think your guild will either balance out a tier by joining blue/red or get green to the next level.

IMO I think Ebay/AR/ or DH

Funny…Anvil Rock doesn’t know exactly what WAR does. They think we are still a “karma” train guild while I think BP and Ebay probably know more about us then our own server. We don’t need a zerg to be successful. Yet only a handful of us can be a nuisance. Wipe and learn right!?

This is a battle for the BEST pug server!! Ebay is just enjoying the show. Don’t get mad because we are adapting to Tier 5 quicker than you guys. So what if you beat us in the past. We are beating you now in a higher tier. Whomever made the post about, “we take points whenever we can get them” was pretty much spot on. Anvil Rock is scrappy as kitten everybody. I wouldn’t say we need a transfer to challenge Ebay. I just think we need: more support from our pve/tpvp crowd, more server coordination, better open field tactics that go beyond the /say “PUSH!”, pajama parties, and ALS/SOS/WAR queues.

I would suggest gvg for bp and AR guilds. Suck it up and take the wipe. If you want to get better you need to understand “what went wrong.” Also FYI, record your matches. It will save you from wiping countless other times. I would feel confident stating there isn’t a BP guild that really challenges WAR in open field.

Question for Ebay and BP…Is there a overflow in Lion’s Arch for you guys?

GF is hard to kill…

WAR has figured out how to fight outnumbered. It is all we do. Yea we might have more than you but there is always a point where the militia cannot handle us. Then a wvw guild gets called in…or two. This is what happens when we go to ebay bl. Ever since this weekend we have went back to the drawing board and realized we need to get more “practiced.” A lot of AR wvw guilds just log on and go in. They don’t practice movement and don’t exercise maneuvers to fight zergs. Also AR guilds between themselves lack the constant intel/synergy to push ebay. Our scappyness has gotten us this far but it’s no longer enough….

WAR went to Eternal to hold our sector down for 4 and half hours (just ask pk). We left to indirectly played defense by going to Ebay BL. We wanted to force Ebay’s pro guilds to come back to cleanse their BL. We were having our way with their pugs. It worked because once they got reinforcements, 30 minutes later AR BL was all blue. It’s called map coverage and understanding how you can occupy a force without directly fighting them…

Kalkz I don’t know why you are calling us out? There are two wvw guilds on our server bigger than we and yet you insist on calling our battle tactics into question. Either you realize what we can do or need an excuse to why your in 3rd place. If you do your pajama parties then it isn’t anything new. Remember NSP’s night crew lead by Birdsong? Yea I am used to recapping my map at 7 (central) in the morning.

Again WAR isn’t the biggest wvw guild on AR. Yea we do get nights where we get numbers but we never exceed 30 and rarely get the “zerg buff” from pugs. When Kain came through we were the only guild to successful hold a keep (in their own BL!) until the night cappers came out to play.

Ebay your guilds are better coordinated in the battlefield. Being in tier 6 for so long understand that we have a learning curve to deal with. BP…. I have always admired your pajama parties. To get a server to trust your wvw community is something I wish AR could do. AR keep up the good fight. We are the slowest moving server ever!

Ebay is bored, BP is “getting” focused, and AR is having fun either way.

I didn’t mean anything against the likes of: FTF, GH, GF, and pk. What I like (loathe) about Ebay is how your guilds have chemistry together. You guys all hit a map together and flank off one another. Not at the same time of course, but you if you see one of the “fab five” (FTF, GH, GF, pk and Sekz) in your borderlands, you can expect another. FTF has the zombie horde buff. The other 4 are really good in open field and can fight difficult odds

Kalkz…Valley keep was just a detour on keeping your towers wooden. We got scurvy as some drunken qauggins and just wanted to say high while you had the outmanned buff. I wish you could /wave in a golem haha! There were 5 AC’s behind the gate and when we broke in there was even more up stairs blotting out the sun before we could reach the top….so yea gg.

As a “pug” commander…I am having fun in Eternal BG! I don’t get zerg crazy but if you step into the AR sector while on my watch…look out. I am the Char necro that over extends too much when there is a big zerg in our sector or anywhere else really. I think AR pug groups are scary business and if a commander understands the manpower/map coverage ratio then things get really interesting…

WAR (War Lords) would like to thank all guilds! We learn with each win and wipe. If you are in WvW…we like you. Even though Ebay brings that lag debuff and BP are backdoor beauties, I am glad to have made it this far with people I have been playing with for months. Both guildies and non-guild members alike. It has been fun to make this long and painful climb.

AR has fought against odds for months. This is nothing new to what we have already been doing. Usually an underdog at first, our resolve keeps things interesting. I know we don’t have the numbers to “challenge” Ebay. But like I said before…AR is a pve/tpvp server and now we have the numbers to prove it. The top player in pve is from AR and about 70% of the top 100 spvpers are from AR. According to Anet…and we keep climbing as a wvw server.

Sekz is Ebays best wvw guild and WAR had fun ruffling Kalkz feathers today…

I am proud of my Anvil Rockers!!! After a few guilds left us we dropped as far as Tier 8. Through persistence and loyalty we managed to make it to Tier 5 with the same 200-300 people. We only get transfers for our stellar tpvp/spvp community. Other then that it’s just training a bunch of new players week in and week out. With all this said…I hope our players continue to grow and learn.

I’ll let Ebay know now that we have like 8+ spvp servers filled every night. That is 16/16 people pvping NOT in wvw. AR is hands down the best spvp server. I swear your best wvw guild wouldn’t last two days in tpvp here! WvW is last on the list of things to do in GW2 on this server. I am not here to QQ, I am here to let you guys know, you will see the same 300 players (at various times) day to day.

Our WvW guilds would change the tide in any Tier if they were to transfer. But loyalty got us this far and I am happy to face a harder challenge in Tier 5. You guys can say “this” and “that” about our server but respect the fact that we got here without any mass transfers AND had to rebuild our WvW community.

I look forward to fighting in this Tier and everyone in it. AR is scrappy as kitten…

3/15 - AR/DH/IoJ

Design your very own loot farm? It’s the day before reset, gotta get creative!

Annnnnnd a 45 min later… I guess AR got tired of our fun so they made golems and marched them into our BL. Ah well, good times, DH. [/quote]

It was only like 6 WAR guys and 1 pug that marched those golems. We laughed the whole time. I wanted to cap that last tower but my we all had a good buzz on and passed out. Next time a superior cata is hitting your garrison, you might want to repair the wall it was hitting.

DH I respect your guilds: SE, Abys, PD, and Mort. I think you guys are good but have a ton to learn. Hopefully you guys can hold down Tier 6 when we leave.

I haven’t commanded in a while…until tonight that is! Had loads of fun running with my guild (WAR), TDME, TWIN and VS in IoJ BL. Got a whisper from TDME and we took IoJ Hills.

Then while we were busy with IoJ at bay. DH decided to take Hills when it had paper gates. Go figure.

Then while we were in the midst of wiping IoJ, for the first time, at inner bay. DH takes their garrison. Hmm a pattern is forming here.

Then after wiping IoJ countless times on inner, DH weasels their way in and hides in the water. When they think it’s clear they decide to try where IoJ had failed countless times before. A 3-way proceeds for 30 minutes and AR stands victorious! Had a little commander on commander action with the kitten from Abys DH server. The big char with the legendary. Good times!

AR has map coverage gaps…Both NSP and BP know this. Both servers know you can night cap us. I mean Bird Song, before you lost your night crew, I spent about 3 hours of my day recapping AR BL every morning. AR hasn’t had any night presence since release. I’m sure there was epic fights going on at 4 in the morning lawls! We do have a high population server but it is a fractured one and wvw is usually at the bottom of the list.

BP congratulations on finally getting your kitten together. Your map coverage is superior (more balance) and until we have a 3rd wheel that has equal map coverage of AR I would say your guilds finally pulled through. Let’s see if Darkhaven can yield enough to defend their BL and EB sector.

the EVNY mesmer is KOS from WAR. That is a compliment btw! You are too good at how you play your toon to stay alive. I think you can be the hero your server needs to bridge the gap of zerg vs gank sqaud ideology.

It’s been fun everyone. I hate BP staircase defense.

BP and AR showed NSP where it belongs. AR cannot beat BP in a 1v1 scenario day in and day out. NSP you are not the strong 3rd wheel you once were. Looked at the map and realized you can only hold your map and or some of your sector in EB. Not both though. Map coverage begins to show its ugly face when a server cannot defend it’s borderlands and it’s sector in EB at the same time. AR’s coverage extends to about 2 maps, and our sector in EB. Maybe we will get lucky and make a huge push but for the most part our commanders that give a kitten are always way pointing between AR and where it is they happen to be. Losing chunks of progress in another map. Also AR is at a disadvantage when it comes to bp bl. Bay can be taken but the walls at bay are too much ground to cover. BP always has 10-20 responding so it makes it a process to get anything done. I would know because up until last reset, I would bring WAR into BP BL on Friday nights.

My advice NSP…Your guilds need to kiss and make up. Play off each others play styles more effectively. Commander, more importantly, guild chemistry is key to not getting slaughtered. Honestly I would have asked PAXA, SPLT, and ENVY to help my “zergs” by flanking off our position. They can kill mass amounts of people with little numbers. I would say AR is more well rounded when it comes to pvd vs pvp. If our wvw guilds wanted to lose to 5 mans we would just go to tpvp where we have arguable the best spvp server in all of GW2. That aside I hope you guys figure something out and keep fighting the good fight.

Next week I hope Darkhaven can pressure us both! We need a stronger 3rd wheel to make our rematches more interesting.

I hate when BP gets in our south towers…

WAR would like to thank all the guilds that tried to step foot on AR BL. We usually attack BP BL but decided to defend Hills instead….we got to fight BP anyways! Hope NSP and BP enjoys fighting us because we definitely like wiping you. Welcome to Friday night server flip TTA! You guys should of went to NSP to help them out with map coverage but oh well. Also NSP, you guys had a huge zerg of up levels and guilds I have never seen before at Bbriar. Keep improving to whomever was there because ever since Kain came through and stripped NSP of wvw players they need whatever help they can get. Props to all the loyal guilds that have stayed on their server. You guys make us better every week.

On a side note please notice when we are on our mains and when we are running karma/xp trains. I don’t want people to get impressed with themselves when they wipe 15 up leveled players.

I’ll be running a group tonight, my 9, and 11 year old daughters are wanting to PvP with dad, so I’m going to force my two older boys to go with us. My 9 year old is funny as hell when we win fights. I might have to record her victory dances.

Wow you’re are using the big guns man.

Please don’t kill everyone before I log in.

Like those kitten people from the WAR guild on Anvil Rock, I’m trying to hunt a zerg and they kill them all!

Yea we have been practicing ZERG busting with whatever we have on at the time. Figure with all the complaining about, “zerg” this and “zerg” that, I would find a way to best wipe em. Don’t know how many times we wiped trying to figure it out but we are making progress. So if you’re in a zerg thank you! You are only making my guild better by pushing us into crappy situations. Keep up the good wvw play everyone.

WAR would like to thank all the old and new Kain guilds. Your players have boosted the morale of my guild for next week. I think server flip Friday was our most impressive outing to date when we tried a daring Garrison ninja move which resulted in us defending Hills in your BL for almost 7 hours after it failed. I hope you have fun chasing our lowbie WAR trains for the rest of the week!

Thoughts on a second DS

in Necromancer

Posted by: Redgrass.3067

I would tweak 2 things in Death Shroud and add 1

1. Dark Pact is an instant cast with a slightly longer CD.

2. The DS Fear is 2s to 3s with a slightly longer CD. A 1s fear?? I don’t even have time to spit shine my axe. Especially when DS is a defensive form (depending on the situation).

And I would add like a 1-5% health regen to damage done in DS.

The reasons for this is when in a jam, DS is what keeps us alive. Our burst healing isn’t the best so we have to weave rotation in and out of DS. Yes Necros can be hard to kill but when our CD’s are down we are really vulnerable especially when we have no life force which has to built up through combat. Other than that the class is fine and I can really live with the way it plays now.
