Guild Wars 2

Don’t forget TSG’s leaders Pain Train Express and Deyja. Overall the Toast has some of the best commanders ive seen on any server.

Protip: Toast rules

TSG an american and oceanic guild on sea of sorrows left to tarnished coast because it wasnt fun on SoS. The day was ruled by fun and trolls and at night we didnt even make up the ground we lost during the day. Wasnt worth it to stay so Tarnished Coast has been our home for 2 weeks now and we are loving it.

Thanks for the compliment scorpio shirica! Yea we are recruiting and we love good, fun players to roll with.

My guild left Sea of Sorrows and went to Tarnished Coast because SoS was absolute garbage, FUN were garbage players that ruined day pvp and many aussies want to be in aussie only guilds. SoS is also garbage at WvW with most of the talent leaving in the first few weeks. I say Tarnished should demolish Sea of Sorrows and leave them in the lower tier.

Well TSG was stealth capping some keeps to hold them off and Pain Train loves to lead zergs that dominate the enemy. I agree we need more late night players but if people join the late night WvW guilds we will be able to organize better. Not trying to super recruit but TSG and PINK are some of the best late night guilds on Tarnished.

For some reason the links wont work? Just copy paste i guess.

The Sovereign Gaming was formed out of the ashes of The Old Republic. Core members wanted to find a new game to call home. We all settled on guild wars2. We were the top PvP guild on our server in SWTOR ( Server was Black Vulkars ). We are looking for active players to join us in our WvW campaign to dominate on behalf of Tarnished Coast ( formerly Sea of Sorrows). At the time of writing we have 75 members and are looking to expand.

There are no requirements to join although we prefer if you have a mic to come join us in our vent. Lately our WvW leader Pain Train Express has been leading us to take over during the night hours. We have led zergs to take capture all of Eternal Battlegrounds and we are looking for more members to be able to take over all the borderlands as well. We are well coordinated, we use tactics, and we do not just zerg rush keeps and wish for the best.

We are also not just a GW2 guild, we are trying to form a gaming community as well complete with a website and community servers eventually. Many of us play counter strike, DayZ, Minecraft, and Mount and Blade: Napoleonic Wars. Our goal is to not only be the best WvW guild in GW2 but also be a thriving gaming community for many players of all niches to call home.

So if you are interested message one of our leaders in game to join or contact us on our website.

Leader in game names:
Lightning C Farron
Lord Regnier
Lord Lynch

TSG has been destroying at night times for WvW. Tarnished Coasts will grab all of Eternal overnight. With pain train express leading TSG’s zergs we have been dominating every night. Magguuma has been putting up a fight though.

That seems unlikely. We’re outmanned in every borderlands from 12am-5pm EST during the weekdays.

Not anybody’s fault, just saying.[/quote]

At 2-6 in the morning pacific is when we roll em

The Sovereign Gaming is part of SoSU as well. We look forward to upcoming events.

I think you should be able to play a hunter type with range combat focus which is why i would like a rifle. But i understand it is also a druid type class. The traits to kind of define whether you are a hunter or druid though. So i think both play styles are viable

Well my polar bear is named Oslo after Robbaz King of Sweden : Lord of the Nipples. His polar bear pet in skyrim was named Oslo

Watch his stuff here : http://www.youtube.com/user/Robbaz

My Jungle Stalker is name Sir Pounce-a-lot after the kitty you find for Anders in dragon age.

Well i’m maxing at 39 which upsets me. But averaging in the low 30’s. Also can i get some feedback on my rig?

Windows 7 64 bit
amd phenom ii x6 1080t
8 gigs of ram
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 ( Latest Driver )

Since we are a ranged class (although I understand we are more focused in nature rather than ranged weapons) I think a rifle option would be nice. I think if it got the same ranged buff that longbow and harpoon get it could be a viable long ranged weapon. I think it should not deal conditions but add vulnerability on enemies and focus on big crits with high cast times with a severe penalty for close range. I know this would turn rangers into snipers but I feel its more fitting that rangers be snipers not warriors. I just want some feedback and some suggestions on what the abilities could be. If it is popular we could put it into the suggestions thread.

Rangers longbow in general sucks, it needs some changes, but I also use a very similar build and I have hit people for 14k-17k rapid fires. Problem is its a 1 trick pony, I use a wolf tho, not a jungle stalker, Im gonna try that. Never done WvW but I hear its the realm of rangers so Im gonna start doing that since longbow rangers are kinda crap in Spvp.

The shortbow really makes up for when the burst is on cooldown. Thats why i decided to switch to it since the greatsword is not all it was built up to be from beta. Also this build will get another boost when the ability where we turn large and gain stability and damage actually gives us the extra damage.

Yea but some of us dont wanna use shortbow. My problem is shortbow is a condition/cc wep, and I feel in sPvP I have to use GS for its utility and escape mechanics. I will admit Ive never tried shortbow on the side as a secondary weapon so it might be good but my problem lies with the longbow itself, shortbow shouldnt hit harder.

I agree it is messed up that the shortbow can hit harder than a longbow but i think someone on a forum said which i agree with every time i have to use my greatsword in pvp i always end up dead. I tried a new formula with longbow/shortbow and it worked for me but i still keep my greatsword on hand just in case.

Hmm, I think Im gonna try it. When I use GS in pvp I use it for escaping, here is how I use it, blow my load on someone then if they get close and dodges are gone I switch to GS and use counterattack, knock them back, swoop and then hiltbash, or I knock them back, untarget turn around and swoop away. Its great defensively if used right, but I could always use more damage, and if shortbow can do that then Ill definitely try it.

What is nice is shortbow has cripples and quickshot which the shot itself gives you a speed boost and makes you jump backwards to put distance between you and the target. also “blow my load on someone” is the funniest thing i read on these forums all week.

In a very real sense its true, I pop my cds ( signet of wild, RaO, pet ability ) and depending on who I hit they take kittens of damage, problem is I can only do it once every 2 minutes which iskitten and I miss out on piercing arrows which is omgawd amazing, I get sick of clones and pets eating my arrows. I play both guardian and ranger in pvp and guardian far outshines ranger in every way. No guardians are not op, but guardians are balanced where as ranger is underhwelming atm. They need to give longbow a massive redesign, Id love to see rapid fire changed into something like kill shot, its frustrating seeing me fire 10 arrows for 5 secs and only half of them hitting because lol longbow arrows are slow as kitten and when they dont miss they get phantom obstructions. I want a sniper not a tickler, and I really dont wanna play a beffy rifle warrior to get my sniper fetish, bows are awesome.

EXACTLY. I want a high damage range option thats garbage in close to make it fair. I always thought it would be cool if the ranger had rifles. But definitely the longbow needs to be redesigned with higher damage big crits in mind. But make it have severe damage penalties in close. The big hits are just not there and rapid fire is 10 not 1 so that is not really a big hit.

This is the build I posted. Great for WvW pvp but also effective in structured.

From what I understand of the trait I only get a speed boost when I switch pets which destroys the rotation I looked into it and it didnt seem to be beneficial.

The reason I did not but it into beast mastery is to get the protection if an enemy takes 20% percent of your health in one hit. This is to help counter thief mesmer or warrior burst. Also the move quickening zephyr is much better and you want to keep a single pet out for rampage as one to stack might properly. The jungle stalker can use his active to give might and his attacks do very good damage while he stacks might on you. That is why i did not put those points into beastmastery.

This will help

Thankyou! I was scared for a second thare. Post resolved.

I was trying to tweak the graphics settings so i can get higher fps when i accidentally selected refresh rate as 50hz. Now my TV ( its what i use as my monitor ) will black screen and say something like wrong mode and i cannot even use my pc if i launch guild wars. Please help and i would prefer not to reinstall the game.

This is my Sylvari ranger.

Here is my kitten sylvari ranger

Im sorry yes this is mainly a WvW build but i have had some sucess in spvp with it. For WvW the extra damage on the barrage mows down crowds. But even 1 on 1 its still effective. I admit after the burst you dont have too much left but it does the job. I do agree with most the shortbow is better for 1v1 but suprisingly this build works well with shortbow if you rearrange the traits to suit it.

So I have been tinkering around with burst with my ranger only using the longbow and the great sword but for this post I am going to focus solely on the longbow.

So here’s the trait build I use.

Traits

Marksmanship : 30 I, X, XI
Skirmishing: 25 II, X
Wilderness Survival: 5
Nature Magic: 10 VI

Skills

Now for my skills I rock Quickening Zephyr, Signet of Stone, Signet of the Wild and for my Elite skill rampage as one.

Gear

For gear it is all power precision and crit damage. AND THIS IS IMPORTANT. I use 6 Superior Rune of strength. My bow is Eir’s Longbow for the stats and the amazing rune that has a 30% chance on crit to chill for 2 seconds.

Pet

Jungle Stalker, Snow Owl

What I do to dominate other players in pvp is stack might effectively as well as using my signets to increase damage. I have a rotation that usually stacks a large amount of damage.

1. Use Jungle Stalker activated skill which will give you 5 stacks of might.
2. Use Rampage as One, Pet will begin to stack might while you gain stability fury and swiftness.
3. Wait to gain might then use Signet of the Wild to grow and gain damage.
4. Use quickening zephyr and drop down a barrage on enemy. This will cripple as well as likely add a chill with Eir’s Bow. A sigil that has a chance for quickness is also effective ( Barrage can tick for 1.5 to 2k if crits)
5. Hunter’s shot to add vulnerability
6. RAPID FIRE ( I have seen rapid fire tick for 12.5 k before and remember because of quickening zephyr this happens in about 4 seconds)
7. Greatsword if close.

This rotation has been able to down players in a few seconds. Its just a recomended burst build for pvp.

The defensive capabilites of this build are limited but with the active ability of the signet of stone you will be able to resist incoming damage for 6 seconds. And with the traits all signets that effect pets will also effect you adding more buffs. Another trait will add some protection if hit for more 20% of your health which helps for thief bursts.

EDIT: I have now switched from greatsword to shortbow. With this combo at the end of rotation I now add bleeds and poisons from the shortbow while using the auto attack to do consistent damage. The same build applies the shortbow just allows me to kite and evade while keeping consistent damage up while waiting to do another burst rotation.

I dont know but i think we should have our gold rolled back as compensation or something if that is possible.

I am missing 200 gems a dye pack and about 2 gold as well as the item listing s i made with the 2 gold. I am upset.
