if whoever ddos’d read this thread i hate you for ddosing kaypud and oe and java because 4v4’s as a thief/mesmer are awful
gl in china abj m8eys

make grenades have a “danger close” zone where if thrown too closely to the engineer they self-inflict conditions or damage to both the engineer and their turrets. or just make it so they can’t throw nades within their immediate area and then make nades travel 33% faster. otherwise, nades get to act as both nades and bombs while being even better at doing what bombkit is supposed to do thanks to their instant fuse at short range and they give 3 chances at minimum to proc IP
Hahaha. Simply put, friendly fire is just a path that leads nowhere positive for the game.
Also, instant fuse at short range for bombs? Bombs are ridiculously slow and avoidable – I’d go so far as to say they’re only usable on immobilized, point-committed, and downed bodies. Counter-pressuring a mobile Thief or Mesmer, for example, with bombs, I would go so far as to say that this is extremely rare. Unless they deem it ‘worth’ and eat some ticks of a fire bomb for a good reason, of course.
Yes, grenades are too good, compared to bombs. It has that snap 1v1 counter-pressure, where the Engineer really has little access to that, otherwise. Thats why in PvP, Grenade-less builds don’t really happen.
I’d love to use Bombs instead of Grenades, for a change. Maybe change Autodefense Bomb Dispenser trait to remove the fuse time of bombs (not the casting time, and not Big Ol’ Bomb). That would mean it would be unable to be used with grenades in the same build.
I’d totally run this build, then!

removing the fuse on bombs would make it quite hard to reliably dodge them tbh not a good idea— we dont need more things like necro marks :P even if it would be melee
Well, it would be exactly how Grenades are right now. .5s Cast emote in melee, but yeah, I see what you’re saying. If instant Melee bombs are toxic, instant Melee grenades are too, then, by logic.
pretty much right, though there should be more risk/reward for getting in close with a ranged weapon set i guess? theres just too much in this game that is “toxic” :P

Who cares if engi is easy to focus down for the absolute top tier? It’s kittening off everyone who isn’t an absolute god at this game.
It’s not, My team has 4 zerkers, we’re a top team, and we refuse to focus an engi because it will just shield, into s, into dodgerolls, into stealth, back into shield. By this point either we have downs and are still trying to focus it with 0 effect, or dead.
you guys focus me alot in our scrims, that’s a lie :P. i only live because i use S to get to LoS but give you guys the point
Well english is not my 1st language.
Idk if u play necro but check patch notes , few changes that are simply uselles just to show us that they are doing smt to the class , 1-2 decent changes and rest is nerfs to a class that didn’t need any .
try writing your post out in google translate, and maybe that will help? not bashing just offering a legitmate option
pu mesmer on beach wow much skill
i think he also meant ranged skills with no tell or travel time i.e marks / scepter 2 and auto etc.
There is a tell, a casting time. Yes its not possible to tell where they are being aimed, but there is definitely a tell to all of them. Not every single tiny ability in the game needs a 1s cast + travel time + aftercast animation.
i said travel time not cast time, and tiny kitten glows on someones hand from potentially 1200+ range is hardly a tell on necro marks lmao
You want less instant cast things, and then immediately name some things that aren’t instant cast at all. Wat.jpg

More l2p , less QQ . you sound like you just want your hands held , Necro marks are fine the way they are and thieves shadow refuge does have a counter , knock the thief out before the house disappears and voila.
marks are fine? lmao
regardless of what happens with the godkitten seeding the best team will still win
I recommend taking bear and countless off of the list, neither of them play or stream GW2 PvP atm. Here’s two guardians to fill in the empty guardian spots too once you do that:
http://www.twitch.tv/cymerdown/b/551259364 (NA) -Kensuda
http://www.twitch.tv/tage33 (EU) -TageEngineer:
http://www.twitch.tv/hibatheshoopuff (NA) -HibaI stream gw2 pvp and NA drama, kitten dude, you don’t know me.
If you had to pick a single player who is most influential in your success, who would it be?
you poking at the wolves den sheeit
Oooooooo baby tips fedora
i didn’t know you wore a fedora. Is it really practical all the way up there?
Nerf steal and it will be fine.
90% of the thiefs will ragequit and only the good ones will remain.Thief is already unplayable among the bunkers that deal similar damage but have 3x more sustain. I doubt bad players or fotm rollers are playing thief atm since they could play something with no risk and similar reward.
unplayable? S/D has godlike mobility, great burst, great utility and can 1v1 anything in the game.
lets not forget how many dodges you get
Your kit seems well refined and your casting rock solid.
Undoubtedly you’ve brought the Mists to form. Like Zoose’s lightning strike you have hit a bolt to my heart… You’re always prepared and your lines almost seem written in stone. You simply deliver with vigorous precision and always seem to pan the camera quick. Just like a sharpshooter you target the weak and have maimed those who have been disillusioned previously. My mind is nearly wracked at the adrenaline you seem to pump into the match – your words simply make the images sharper.
Seriously, you guys really came in with an explosive descent, and no one owes you a cry of frustration.
s/d is imo the most powerful build in the game, crazy mobility along with being able to 1v1 nearly everything / reset if it doesn’t go your way
the changes didn’t seem like much to me? power ranger is still gonna be a pewpew bot that gets killed by any decent build / player
@ tage
yeah dude, i mean i voted for who seemed the best via my perspective, though i only voted for 3 of you because i refuse to vote more than 3/5 of a single team. either way hf @ gamescom give denshee a slurp real nice and close to his ear for me
(edited by Reevz.2617)
roger that
winkey face received
over
they didn’t ever listen to like any of the suggestions the top players made whatsoever btw, completely ignored
let’s just hope the code for the dances aren’t written in stone.
I appreciate the support Reevz. More often than not, it’s important that some sort of empathetic bond grows within the community so it doesn’t become so toxic – just look at all these people going into a frenzy.
it’s like a bolt to my heart to hear you say that.
Some would say that I have vigorous precision with my responses.
10/10 a rock solid performance
sometimes my isp sucks a huge D
surprised i found you in the top 1000 leaderboards tbh
I’m still in the top 1000? That’s a 10/10 joke because I haven’t played this game in forever. This game’s competitive scene is about as dead as TF2 or Super Smash Brothers: Melee, but at least those games have a concrete sense of skill variance.
But honestly, to even think that you doubted by skills in “Rotation Whack-a-Mole Wars 2: Rock-Paper-Scissors Online Edition.” For shame.
as i type this smash has 120k+ viewers, isn’t even finals yet
Glad to see so many top tier rangers up there. REPRESENT!!!
Seriosuly though, AK and Blu? There is nothing All-Star about this.
Still, congrats to all the contenders.
My Vote:
Quilja
Tarcis
Caed
Ele (Zoose or Chubbz)
ReevzyI can’t seem to find some of these All-Stars on the list though…
i’m sure like myself they were all offered spots, but had other things going on / didn’t really care to go.
ty tho
i think perhaps you should have been sent as a shoutcaster, but no i don’t think you should be a part of the all-star team
Why is blu not just being flown out?
He has done more work than anyone else in the community and deserves it more than anyone. At the same time he is not a top tier player like the others on the list and should not be playing in an “All Stars” competition, he is a caster not a player and we do not want the casting mess that was pax.
Agreed. I’m also confused why Caed is not on this list, did he ask not to be?
some people refused the offer / couldn’t go ask him yourself i guess? i wasnt sure if i could make it and it wasn’t all that appealing really.
not to mention this is community sports aka competitive social networking, which has never been my strong point. it’s pretty obvious who the frontrunners are going to be though lol
All the TCG’s, easy.
Question 1: what is BLU doing in this list?!
Question 2: why is Caed not in this list?
You can say what you want about BLU but he’s a big part of the community. It’s not like the tournament will be super tryhard stuff so let him be on the list. :<
Blu absolutely shouldn’t be on the list. “all-stars”
#kaypud
also, denshee is in my opinion the best player in this game, and a humble guy.. vote for him.
engineer is pretty much designed for spvp to the point where only one or two professions can even attempt to handle them.
they can spam aoe/conditions, use plenty of cc, go invuln multiple times, lay down AI (albeit mild), and aoe heal.
as a thief i only attempt an engie if they’re power or flat out terrible, otherwise there’s no point.
I hate hard counter professions as much as you do since necros are the hard counter to engis as engis are the counter to thieves. But you don’t see me as a main engi calling for nerfs to necros. So if/when necros aren’t such a hard counter to engis then we can talk about thief vs. engis.
Engi doesn’t hardcounter thief at all.
in the past engineer countered melee professions i.e mainly warrior but now they have condi immunity (which also counters power engi/ immob / blind etc) but melee profs are so ridiculous right now it hardly matters. engineers are pretty bad in team fights because everything they do is a projectile which are easy to fizz/destroy/reflect via guardians or eles (offhand focus or the more likely dagger MH earth 2) or guardian shield, or resolute healer (bubble trait on res?) not to mention the mere presence of a necro that is decent on the opposing team can nearly spell death for your engi. Mesmer/necro/ s/d thief all have access to unblockable skills or no-tell dazes to prevent the engi from blocking(or shredding him even though he is) which leaves the engi vulnerable in every teamfight where you could be a mesmer or a thief or a necro and just use a get out of everything ability (aka teleports/blink etc)
tldr i guess, engi is still good in 1v1, but gets shut down / outshined in team fights

This has been said too many times already. ANet, give us the option to make the opponent displayed as a generic human. I’ll even pay real money for it. You can even make it a gem store item. Here is my money, please take it and give the players a way to normalize the opponents’ models.
i would really recommend instant ground targeting and not using double tap to evade, otherwise play the game and learn and get better.
as for ranger ask like genyen/tany/kizos for a build or somthing (NA) Battosai if he still plays if you’re EU
will this take another 8 month to fix?
Probably longer, seeing as it isn’t broken, there’s just a high quantity of fools that think it is.
Yknow what I did when pets started dealing twice as much damage as normal? I reported it. I didn’t come on the forums claiming it had always been like that. Grow up.
And neither did I. I hopped ingame and tested out the iWarlock thoroughly. It has precisely the same damage coefficient and scaling as pre-patch. People are just having fits because of the strength runes and battle sigil combo boosting damage.
lmao, such a blatant lie, they might not be doing twice as much but the numbers are still much higher than before, and that’s before strength runes / sigils etc etc
AI got buffed across the board, even svanir/chief hit harder ranger pets rock dog etc.
If any of you have played starcraft 2 in WoL, there seems to be this resemblance between terran and thief concerning skill cap. Sure, terran/thief has a higher skill cap and thus higher potential, but really, when is this “maximum” or god-tier potential ever reached? When are absolutely perfect marine splits achieved? Hardly.
I think if people are going to argue imbalance, one needs to define it. Do you mean unbalanced as when two players of equal skill level play the two classes and one class clearly comes out on top, or unbalanced as in one class has a higher skill cap than the other?
i think they mean less counterplay kinda like how protoss in sc2 can get free positioning with those forcefields
you can turn with ground targeted abilities
edit you can keyboard turn while immobd…lolWe’ve been playing this game wrong the whole time.
Next we’ll find that you can s key during stuns.
Seriously though, I’ve been using auto face from #1 abilities while not pressing directions to turn my character while immob’d. Yay for round about ways of getting simple character movements accomplished.
lmao <3 phanta
you can turn with ground targeted abilities
edit you can keyboard turn while immobd…lol
They are really strong in PvP because of the size of the points. Foefire they lose a little bit of that advantage at mid, which is why those fights last forever.
Spam Engi has been viable since Day 1 because of that and will continue to be in Conquest mode.
It’s also super easy to play once you get used to swapping kits. Don’t let people like O Eggs or Reevzy fool you it’s not an intelligent playstyle it’s just APM benefitting from the way Anet designed the game.
yeah don’t let me fool you
I’m playing King Arthur’s Gold now – such espahts.
Also, I badmouth everyone – no one is special enough to be specifically targeted by my insults.
you might badmouth better with 15 in tools
karsaib j’aime les petits garçons
30/30/0/0/10… This is… so manly…
Who the kitten needs Protection? The Pull-out method is all you need!…I’m sorry… just banter you see…
You don’t seem to have toolkit nor Elixir S in that build. Wrong link?
you def don’t need s or tkit though im not saying i’d use this build either
Does this mean I can get in on that shoutcasting now?
lmao
not sure if he’s serious or just trolling? prolly a PW thief?
ranks are already meaningless, it doesn’t matter
which 4 picked no KITTEN
Funny how everyone just suggests to fill engis up with condis….yeah too bad there’s something called AR between your conditions and 90% of engis in tpvp…
first of all let me say, i dont run Automated Response, second of all it’s not all that difficult for another condi engi or condi class for that matter to work around it, it just means lightly condi them until they are 50% or so then load them up with everyhting and save your interupt
against a good engi a warrior will always have trouble it’s going to largely be decided upon if you land pin down or not— and how many mistakes the engi makes
