Guild Wars 2

so… what about armor we’ve stat changed? I know back in one of the pvp leagues i bought almost an entire set of ascended gear. Since then I’ve stat changed it multiple times, making it PvE named ascended gear.

Am i just SoL? gotta get a whole new set for this?

Had to login and tell you awful your idea is. And to delete it before it gives ANet a bad idea. WvW would lose 80% of its player base if they did this.

Go play pvp if you like those terrible amulets. While you do that I’ll be playing my perfectly min/maxed builds only achieveable through PvE stats.

The last time this was brought up was when ascended armor was implemented and kids who, for some reason, couldn’t make enough gold in wvw to craft them were crying about the 3% difference.

Its time to nerf em, you know its true.

I have to severely disagree. Engi and scrapper both have plenty of power damage. You can build a scrapper that can burst over 20k with rifle or hammer. Only issue is they’re like mesmers and can’t do their full burst until the last burst is off cd.

I find myself not playing engi for two reasons.

First. Terrible mobility. Absolute garbage tier mobility. It’s one thing for a warrior or thief to catch you, but when a reaper catches up with you, it’s pathetic.

Second. Garbage tier condi cleanse. With hgh and elixir gun and healing turret it’s nothing. With the drunk engi build you have the most cleanses but it takes forever to cleanse them.

Before July of 2015 rocket boots used to be great mobility with a 16s cd trained. But now they have a 20s or 16s if you take a dumb trait that requires you to take damage.

When engi gets a little of both. They’d be amazing.

If you take the past specs into consideration and ANets habits. There’s a high chance dagger will either power or support based weapon. It’s unlikely they will give 2 specs condi weapons in a row.

That being said, if it’s support the traits will likely be weighed heavily in that aspect (just like tempest,Druid)

If it’s a power based weapon the traits will likely favor both condi and power (much like daredevils, reapers)

But in the end they’re still ANet, so who knows with their logic. Dagger very well could be a condi weapon haha

When will this set be returning to the gemstore?

I’ve been waiting for them for awhile. IDK if i just missed them recently or what. Been dying to get a hold of those armor skins.

any insight?

i just used the search option so if there was already another thread about this then my bad.

ANYWAYS, when are we gonna see the next legendaries? i’m holding off making bolt because I want to see the new legendary sword. would like to know when they plan on releasing more.

Don’t tell me next expansion because the new legendaries were supposed to be with this expansion. i’ll be a pretty unhappy camper lol

This happened to me today lol.

I’m the thief in Saph.

editted photo to keep names out.

Threw some clips together.

-Buuty

I just threw some stuff together on windows movie maker, if you guys like it I’ll invest in some real editing software.

https://youtu.be/SBMNEuNA3_I

I used a ton of different builds in this video but if you want em I can throw some together for you.

-Buuty

I run a very similar build. It’s super effective against most classes.

Thief forums are filled with negativity because people can’t spam 2 to win anymore. So don’t listen to any of these turds.

I liked it. Like treeoflife said. Thief forums filled with crusty crybabies that can’t adapt to new meta. Keep up the vids I enjoyed it. I don’t watch many thief vids all the way through:P

You didn’t waste dodges and appeared to time your bursts. Good stuff. And you actually won matches in your vid. It wasn’t just a highlight at a thief picking his fights lol.

Im not. its legit lol

I love the new system. I’m not gonna watch some youtuber show a few clips of fights he actually won with some weird build, and a week later see more of that class running that same build in wvw.

Good bye Flavor-of-the-month kids!

Edit: It took me a day to unlock my elite spec. Because I do map completion on the classes I enjoy the most. Sorry not sorry.

I love how you’ve made wvw’er and pve’rs have to work to get their elite spec! This really promotes picking a class and sticking to it.

For WVW it eliminates the flavor of the month type of players that reroll to the new OP class because they’re bads.

PvP will always have Flavor of the Month users. With the new Elite Spec system, we’ll be seeing a lot bigger population in PvP because the lazy people will just want to play their spec without work.

Please don’t listen to all the cry babies. I really enjoy the new system.

I finished my elite spec in a day because I’ve mained my class for 3 years. I already had 200 Hero points going into HoT.

I’m glad you indirectly rewarded people who put time into their class before HoT. You’ve earned my loyalty for the years to come!

Again thanks! Don’t change the system because the lazy people don’t want to PvE grind for a few days.

Channeled Vigor, Bandit’s Defense, Fist Flurry, Etc.

None of these are recharged with Improvisation trait.

I’ve sat in the mists now for 30 minutes testing it on the Dummies.

Can we get this trait updated to work with Physical Utilities?

Thanks!

So I enjoyed Daredevil, but its not for me. I feel like its a lesser powered Rev staff. The trait line is OK.

The main thing I want to hit on this thread is adjustments to the CURRENT Thief.
The current Thief is basically D/P as your only choice. I know other people play other builds. If you want to stand a chance against every other build out there you take D/P. You also run SA because of the condi meta atm. (even with the condi clenase on evade with Daredevil, it isn’t enough without SA. Every moment you’re out of stealth and not dodging, they’re stacking condi’s and ALOT of them). Now I don’t want to hear, “take Trickster so your heal clears a condi and roll for initiative.” that gets rid of Bountiful Theft which is sooo valuable.

Now all I’m asking for, is to make dagger offhand worthwhile again. Because right now, it is GARBAGE and a free kill to anyone that knows how stealth works. Even S/D is nothing like it used to be. I’m not crying bout the massive amounts of dodges, I’m talking raw damage and the ability to out play your opponent with it. This is also the same for p/d builds. I never seen them anymore haha. D/D Thieves I see are 1 trick ponies that can only blind side squishy classes. I would like to see some other utilities get some love as well.

Also, Yes I know there are ways to take the blind on stealth trait and still have sustain, but then you’re rocking mango pies, and possibly dolyak runes. Which I know sounds stupid rofl but it helps since we’re giving up Shadows Rejuvenation for the blind.

Now I have seen numerous threads asking for the blind on stealth to be either put in a master trait or actually on Cloak and Dagger.

Doing this would open up the dagger offhand again. I’m not gonna beat that dead horse I just want access to Shadows’s Rejuv, Shadow’s EMbrace, AND Cloaked in Shadow. Some other things that would help the thief class:

Signet of Malice: heals for less when you attack, but heals everytime you do an attack whether or not it lands on an enemy or not. Keep the activate heal similar to what it is.

Elementalists Signet Heals for every spell casted regardless if it hits an enemy or not and it heals in the 300’s plus a decent activate heal.

I understand thief attack speed is alot faster with auto attacks and we have access to quickness, but comparing it to an ele combo and how fast they can spam spells, it’s pretty similar to our Auto’s. I understand they have cd’s but our Signet of Malice is very underwhelming.

Hide in Shadows: I want to see this clear more condi’s especially movement impairing ones. Also, this heal would have more play if you could blind on stealth without sacrificing your sustain.

Hide in Shadows is begging to be interrupted by pretty much any class with access to CC. It’s not worth taking especially because Shadow’s Embrace doesn’t cleanse movement impairing condi’s anymore. So withdrawal is basically a must for the cleanses to movement impairing condi’s making this heal pretty much obsolete.

Signet of Shadows: Should be a stun-break.

Again, Elementalists Signet of Air is very similar to Thief except that signet is a stun-break. Ranger’s Signet grants 50% more damage. Necro’s signet steal’s health from nearby foes.

Everyone of those Signets is on a 30s CD baseline except ele, which is on a 25s CD.

Our Signet only blinds. It would open up alot more Rune combo’s and utility for different builds.

All the other utilities i feel are fine how they are.

I don’t want you to tell me to wait for Daredevil, because I’m not going to be playing it. I like to play my thief how I like to play it. I have been running d/p meta since the big balance patch and I am sick and tired of that weapon set. It takes very little skill to be good at.

I’m frequently out-numbered when I play, whether it be PvP or WvW, and the oldschool thief in me doesn’t back down from a challenge, so I duke it out to my death or theirs. Having said that challenge statement, I understand its a challenge to not run SA, but I don’t want to just ignore a condi player, I want to be able to show that condi player that skill overcomes anything, so I take SA because without it I melt like butter to a hotpan against condi’s.

That’s all I can think of.

puh-puh-peace!

Arleon.5921:

You can mix up cele equipment with Bersi / Sinister stats depending on how offensive you want to be. Cele gives you the sustain, while Bersi increases your spike burst, and Sinister improves you´re cleave dmg and long time preasure.
Just make shure that you´re traids fit in you´re job.

The rune choice depends on which job you focus on, and which traids you choose.
For example if you´re running the incendary powder and the condi duration buff food, the rune of Balthazar is not a good choice, since you´re already at 73% Burning duration, and you´d waste 28% from the Rune Bonus. In that case a good option for the condi duration would be nightmare runes with the 15% overall condi duration.

However Lyssa Runes don´t seem to be a good choice to me. I´ve also tried them out for a while, and it strongly limits you in terms of switching to you´re mortar kit, becaus the icd of the Rune is also activated when you switch to the mortar kit with NOT ONE condition on you.
I prefer the sigil of cleansing, and sometimes a permanent passive condi duration reduction rune in addition to that. The sigil of cleansing removes one condition from you on any weaponswap with an icd of nine seconds, and it only activates the cd when it realy removed a condition.

which runes you prefer hoelbrak or melandru for the -condi duration?

Hey, I only have about 200 hours on my engie, but I’m interested in playing him full time. I’m interested in Cele gear, my question is for WvW gear. Do I run cele trinkets aswell? or like pvt mixed with zerk? What trinket stats should I run as cele engie.

Also, Runes. Currently I’m using vamp with my soldier set, I was thinking lysaa since i run Mortar. Or maybe like balthazar for some burn dps.

Some advice from the people still running cele would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Phuriok.9307:

Hey Remix how’s it going I’m one a guild leader of one of the larger guilds on DB and I’ve been on DB since launch, as well as helped out with the WvW alliance that has always existed on DB (except for when i took a break, obviously) so let me shed some light on the current state of DB and our WvW conditions.

WvW is generally pretty active at primetime, (4pm pacific – 8pm pacific) we tend to run into large enough coordinated groups on every borderland (typically the owner of the BL, and there’s usually one other server attempting to attack) and EBG is always poppin as well. DB lacks an EU presence so you won’t see much action earlier in the day and our night crew is still T1/T2 material (NNK, gotta love em). you can find some coordinated zergs pretty often, sometimes even coordinated maps. The guilds work really well together. However, we are rising up through the tiers atm, while we were tier 6 last week, tier 5 this week (and crushing our matchup) I’m not entirely sure how much more we will be rising. Nobody is in a hurry to rise through the tiers too fast, we really are happy growing steadily but comfortably at a pace where we can keep up with the change and keep the community on point.

Speaking of community, there has been a lot of push towards rebuilding the awesome community that once existed within DB as a whole in pve as well as wvw. We have begun discussions on ways to bring the DB pve community together and not just rely on our WvW guilds. Lately the coordination in wvw has been progressing by leaps and bounds amongst the wvw guilds of DB (im attributing our wins the last few weeks to this for the most part) and we’d like to expand that coordination to pve. If we can bridge the gap between all our pve players and our WvW players, we will be back at tier 2 in no time.

Basically to sum it up: DB is in a state of improvement. In every aspect of the game and as a community, DB operates as it did in the first year of launch, only we’re on our way to T2, not already fighting in it lol. It really is a wonderful and fun community to be a part of and i plan to do what i can to keep it that way, and I know most of the other guild leaders and server heads feel the same way. Anet fixing the servers and their population to reflect WvW pops will really help us get back to where we were, in good time. We’re in no rush lol.

Hope this helped

yeah for sure, do you remember WAR Warsworn, guild? they till on DB? lol

Hey, I’m looking to transfer out of t2 and I used to call DB my home a couple years ago. I’ve read some posts that people are trying to get WvW active in the server again.

I’m wondering how wvw is down in t5. Is it mainly PvD? only find people in EBG? Borderlands empty? Or is it pretty active?

Right now t2 is DEAD. can only find fights in EBG or if you make a server mad with a zerg on their BL.

Also How’s roaming in t5? is it mainly guild groups out? or are their lots of solo’ers/small groups?

Thanks

I’d consider T3, but keep in mind TONS of t2 people are going T3. SoS isn’t Full because of that, FA will probably open up too.

I would stay away from Yak’s, and t2 in general. I mean if you like PvD’ing then go for Yak’s because all they do is ktrain. They have 30+ blob on at least 1 map at all times of the day

T3 sounds good, but will soon turn into t2 gvg home lol.

So I’ve played Warrior and Thief pretty much exclusively since launch.

Warrior post patch has stupid damages, Running the norm setup for gs, axe/sh. My Rushes (GS#5) hits like a truck, I have seen 8k, consistantly 6k, My eviscerates have never hit less than 8k. my warrior has shield 5 and 2 endure pains, and access to an elite that is like an instant win. I also get quickness every 15s when my opponent is under 50%. Super high healthpool and condi’s dont matter anymore thanks to brawlers recovery.

Thief post patch has higher power, higher ferocity, 100% crit in stealth for backstabs and does 20% more damage to opponents under certain health (forgot the percentage). My thief cannot backstab over 6k to save its life… I mean I’m rockin’ ferocity in everything.. My thief also gets 1 banged by a basic mesmer combo now aswell. when my warrior would atleast pop endure pain at 25%. thief is practically unplayable atm lol. 6k is nothing when I’m revealed for 3s and literally get to stand there with my wang in my hand. lol.

All I’m saying is, thief is super low health pool, only defense they have is stealth.. and their burst damage is comparable to my warrior axe auto-attacks? lol.

what server you running out of?

this thread isnt getting me anywhere, thanks for trying to help

As of 10 Feb 2015, I’ve been experiencing severe server lag.

The most lag is during WvW on any map. I get it occasionally outside of WvW. I haven’t dared trying to pvp with it, seeing as I can’t fight a trash mob, let alone another player in this lag.

I’m on Fort Aspenwood server, and majority of the players are experiencing the same lag. It very unplayable. I’ve asked friends on other servers and they don’t seem to be experiencing it.

But looking at this forum, a few others are experience random crashing due to the server lag. I know this isn’t on my end, because I’m hardwired into my net and have tested my download speeds. everything is normal.

Any information on this?

isnt that the point? 100 gems is way more affordable than 250 gems.

even if say strength runes went down to lets say 5g each. thats 35g for a set. youre saying you wouldnt drop 10$ to just take those 6 out and put it on other gear? Unless you had like way extra gold and youre just spewing gold from the mouth.

the only people that have issues with this would be the market manipulators. “oh no this would mess up my profit margin” lol. meanwhile it’ll make everything else, for the players who don’t ruin the game, a lot more enjoyable and easier to obtain.

im just looking at this from a business stand point lol. Its not very profitable for THEM to have worthless items that dont sell on the tp.

Yeah it sucks we can’t put upgrades from unsalvageable items onto other gear, but its a win win for them. it would also stop the flipping of the runes to spike the prices.

just saying, for a business out to make money, this would give them something, just like transmutation charges, that would sell ALL the time.

Not my problem if they dont like money lol.

Idk if this has been touched upon yet, but here is what I have to say.

So the current price of an upgrade extractor is 250 gems. That costs more than any upgrade (strength runes included).

So I know ANet isn’t selling any of these things. If ANet dropped the Gem price of these to 100 gems, people would use them like crazy.

The only reason why this is an issue now is because back before wardrobe, if you had an expensive upgrade on a weapon you couldn’t salvage, you could use your transmutation stones to transfer the upgrade to the item you wanted. That is not possible now, I am forced to buy another upgrade.

If you drop the price to 100 Gems, I am certain that they would sell like candy. I know I would buy them all the time.

Please consider it, and thanks!

haha thanks for the response man! i’ll try it out!

still needs to be fixed if you have to do all of that just to get the bonus’s haha.

again, thanks a bunch man!

The trait in the adept line of Arms, Deep Strikes, does not work as described or work at all for that matter.

The traits tooltip states roughly, “+40 precision for each unused signet equipped.”

My build uses 3 signets, a lot like every other warrior. Except I don’t use Unsuspecting Foe because mace warriors are the new thieves. So I would like this trait to increase my precision to increase my crit chance. It would make my build much better :P even though its great. Even against other warrior noobs :P

Currently I’m using Furious Reactions, because I was hoping since Warrior is the most played class, that someone would notice this too and bring it up and it’d get fixed lol.

So for an example, My precision without the trait is 1701. With the trait it remains 1701. with 3 signets shouldn’t it increase +120? And no, I’m not looking at my precision after i activate my signets haha.

I’d attach images, but it wouldn’t make much of a difference since you can’t look at traits and stats at the same time :P

Hopefully a mod glances at this and looks into it.
thanks!

idk why you guys are complaining. Last night i entered WvW with 10 silver and played for maybe 3-4 hours and left with 5g.

I remember when you would make 2g every 5 hours in WvW flipping maps. And you would end up spending that 2g on more siege lol.

All i did was flip camps and brawl it out when we got a chance lol. the norm. for roaming groups.

So I like this new system lol. Making average gold just messing around in wvw? lol sign me up.

So I received a 3 day ban. My client turned grey and got a message similar to
“Your account has been lock due to misbehavior”

The only time i talk via in game is when im talking smack to the enemy team in wvw. I add to my party and tell them they suck at the game. lol it’s what pvp is all about. I can understand a 1 day ban to make the carebears happy. But 3 days?! lol. thats just silly. I got banned because i hurt some lonely low-life’s feelings and he could report me for making him feel even more inadequate rofl.

Its not my fault these people have insecurity issues and try to solve them by reporting every “mean” person on the game rofl.

Why is there even a report option for that?! THEY CHOSE TO JOIN MY PARTY. lol its not like i made them join my party. THEY CHOSE TO GET PICKED ON. honestly, what WvW’er can say that 95% of the time when they get invited to a party, that they don’t get bashed on? lol

So it’s my fault for that persons stupidity in joining my party, getting bashed so bad he cried and reported me. LOL good things ANet takes such good care of the care bears. gotta keep dem gem store purchases up.

On another note: You guys tried to fix the talking cross server in wvw, but you didnt think about not allowing cross server party invites INSIDE WvW? lol. Is it really too hard to disable party invites INSIDE WvW? rofl. But its my fault that someone got his wittle feewings hurt and cried to mommy. rofl

ALSO, I saw someone else post that they received a ban and have no idea why. I figure its because of the excessive trash talking i do. But i also didnt receive an email or notification, so good thing i was online when the ban happened.

Anyways, a word to you softskinned carebears. If you continuously get owned or run from someone, and they invite you to their party, I WOULD NOT JOIN THE PARTY. ROFL. Just a heads up to you spineless pvp’ers that havent a clue to what you’re doing in wvw.

Trash talking is what PvP is all about. And to ban someone because you guys can’t prevent it, its just plain STUPID. So i’ll prolly be heading over to Darkfall where carebears quit after their first death.

I’ll prolly be back to see whats up with this new update. Gotta get dem skins. lolol

But after this, i refuse to buy anymore gems from you guys, i’m not mad, just dissappointed that the carebears got the best of me. lol. see you guys in 3 days.

Noobs.

When I get a chance to 1v1 a guardian, most of em are easymode nubs at full bunker. So they have very little swiftness and gap closers, if youre running GS, just kite em around and whirlwind through em over n over until you get your bursts up, and continue lol. I run glass with some traits in defense and yeah guards are a pain 1v1.

Just don’t try to fight em head on. kite em and burst when you can.

My guild is always small scale roaming in t2 US. We NEVER have a guardian. Mostly DPS warriors and we do fine lol. Its all about skill, if you guys blow, then roll guardians lol. Ele’s are just an annoyance, they always have been, just thieves with 0 stealth lol.

When roaming and you run into another roaming squad, and they’re nubs with a guardian, depending on what the other classes are, you either kill the guard first or last. Like if they opposing group has a couple thieves, it’s easier to kill the guard first. Then the thieves get to play cat n mouse and eventually run away lol.

The other day we wiped a 15-20 man group with 10. because of our warrior set up lol. So they were by briar on the bridge from the ruins, and me and another guy were on the opposite side, while the rest of our group went around the ruins to flank. When they were in position, I ran head first into them and took all the focus, while our death from above warrior jumped down and knocked em all down, then we proceeded with 4 hundred blades and 4 whirlwind attacks lol.

SO, no you don;t need a guardian. it definitely helps. but in my opinion, guardians are just people who make too many mistakes to play warrior. guardians are a much for forgiving class lol.

ACTUALLY, “Call Owl” is OP as heck.

Especially for warrior. You just have to use your brain and figure it out. lol

you guys are acting like they’re gonna make these fields last for infinity.
“Oh no! Another change to make thieves useless!” then reroll, gtfo of the thief class.

These fields are prolly gonna last for 3 seconds, and have a 60s cooldown, sort of like the opposite effect of the “Ash Legion Spykit”

for you new kids, thats a Heart merchant item you can use in PvE to gain 10s of stealth no matter the class. BUT you can’t move.

Now, if these anti-stealth fields are 10s long, it won’t matter, avoid them…
10s in a fight is NOTHING lol. now if theyre 30s. Then yes, that will be a bit unfair.

Lets let these carebears that enter WvW, expecting to suck the zergs teet, have their way. When we’re still ganking these nubs we can see what else ANet decides to throw at us.

Personally, i LOVE these nerfs to thieves. It gets rid of the fairweather noobs that rolled one to gank lowbies and really bad players lol. I even say bring back to 4s debuff. lol

As for zerg battles, if you’re on the frontlines charging into heavies and bunker classes, you’re an idiot.

The thief’s roll in a zerg fight, is to hang out behind the enemy zerg and pick off the kids pulling back to regain health. It also helps with team morale to see a few green names behind the zerg. granted there never is many thieves behind enemy lines, like ever.. lol you guys are too busy Dagger Storming in the middle to see all the pretty numbers lol.

So this whole QQ’ing has a simple fix for you crybaby thieves. If you don’t like it, DONT PLAY IT.

go roll a guardian or something. something you can’t qq about kitten

So, I read almost every response and these kids are idiots.

Warrior is the best solo tank in the game. Solo as in, they don’t need anything else to help them, they can survive just about anything. I played tank on my warrior for close to 1000 hours. My traits were, 10/0/30/30/0 with pvt armor (2 pieces were vit/prec/heal) and valk jewelry.

Sure, in pvp a guardian will own you, but thats because he needs every boon in the book. In pve, you can solo most dungeon bosses melee’ing.

In the harpy fractal, those electric sliders (looks like guitar hero) that damage you a ton and most classes die in one hit, you can tank close to 3 of those lol.

A warrior tank will ALWAYS be the last one standing if he’s worth a dam. I mean, no other class has a standard 9 seconds where you take 0 damage. You trait 30 into defense, take Defy Pain, slot Endure pain, and have a shield= 9 seconds no damage. Now if you’re sylvari you can take it further with your elite, to 12 seconds.

If someone says guard is a better tank than a warrior, theyre just stupid. In wvw, you throw a warrior in the middle of a zerg, he will last ATLEAST 9 seconds, not to mention his heals and 30-33k healthpool.

Now a guard brings TONS of condition removal, heals, and boons. Which is worth 10x more than any other class (i find that stupid). But as a tank goes. Warrior wins it hands down. Now if you pair up with a guard on your warrior, goodnight sir. Nothing will kill you lol.

And btw, what the first responder said. Mace, at full tank, hits 3k auto attacks. If i’m not mistake, thats as good as an axe. So i wouldn’t listen to these nubcakes who rerolled a guardian because warrior wasn’t easy enough for them.

lol, this dudes crying made me laugh. He can’t just spam 2 and down someone!? what a shame! lol, I just recently have been taking my thief into sPvP to do some tournies with friends and let me tell you, they are far from useless rofl.

I was in charge of 2 points on the map, our bunker ele held the alter and i would roam between the alter and temple, while the other 3 duked it out at the gate. lol. I had to do some 2v1’s against 2 guards. I’ve had to fight a scepter/dagger dps ele and dps warrior. Just because you dont 1 bang people every 45s anymore doesnt mean the class is broken. lol.

I love this new sword update aswell, in wvw, i’m seeing all these idiot thieves spamming 3 to remove boons rofl.

Just an FYI, its not even worth using sword 3, unless another thief is dagger storming, or necro is in lich form, etc. when they is multiple boons, just ignore it lol. you’re wasting initiative :P

But to help this original poster out on his thief, just run 30/30/0/0/10 and keep spamming 2, when you get tired of it, reroll.

I love these noobs, they are the reason people are overly aggressive against thieves lol. so it gives me free loots in wvw. haha. keep it up babe

depends on how these people are saying it.
If they’re saying there’s a bunch of thiefs at Stargrove, then you are correct lol.

But a lot of the time it’s describing something. For example, a thiefs (missing the apostrophe) backstab burst is OP.
This would make it possessive. spelled correctly, Thief’s. lol

But yeah a lot of people just dont care and say thiefs for plural haha.

My “Sneaky Norn”

I have T3 chest on my norn and the Ghastly Grinning Shield Skin. The preview shows in under the cape deal. But outside of the preview its cherry. I’m not at my home computer so I can’t take a screen. But Shields don’t clip with the cape.

idk bout you nubs, but my warrior doesnt need protection. Its super nice when i get it from a guard it makes me all the more tank. I’ve noticed that you cannot tank by yourself, no matter guard or warrior.

Why we CAN’T have a protection boon to grant ourselves, is because you nubs don’t know about a Warriors regen.

Trait atleast 15 into toughness, you get regen based on adrenaline+healing signet. at full adrenaline i get 350+ a tick, plus the 200+ from the signet, thats close to 600hp a tick. That’s more health over 25-30 secs than any other heal spell can put out.

Throw in shouts heal and have fun never dying. My warrior has 800 or so deaths. Thats including sPvP, fall damage, PvE, WvW. I have over 10,000 kills in WvW. I used to rock it out on Kaineng before that monster guild transferred, so numbers were not on our side.

Now, if you really wanna have fun, Make a guard friend use a hammer and you two can defeat hordes of enemies haha because of protection.

But this whole crying about warriors being weak. stfu. go roll a guard if you don’t like being a warrior. A good Warrior will hardly die, I’ve been focused by 20+ and walked, not run, walked from a side citadel entrance to a tower. relying solely on regen and shouts haha.

So final word is, if you say warriors suck, you suck at playing a warrior. haha.

better off rerolling anyways, i’m tired of seeing everyone cry at how they suck at one of the strongest classes in the game.

haha notice the no replies? thats because you arent crying about an awesome class. to be honest if youre a warrior and dying to a mediocre thief/mesmer. you shouldnt be playing a warrior anyways.

I also have no issues with my warrior, I love him to death. I like warriors so much, I have 2 that are 80 haha. 1 for each type of build i like.

Warriors are the most balanced class in the game, so if they nerfed any other classes they’d be OP. lol the only thing they need to fix is rendering in WvW. Thats the main thing that keeps thieves alive haha.

nice post.

So I’m sure some of you have noticed the most sought after precursors being completely bought out. Making a legendary is now definitely impossible. I see 3-4 people in map chat complaining that their precursor isn’t for sale.

I myself have been watching Dusk for some time now. One day they’ll be 10 for sale, the next day, none. They are most definitely being manipulated.

It’s obvious to who is manipulating them. Who else would have money to buy out every single precursor? Maybe the same type of person who can craft Twilight and still have 500g-ish left over to post it for sale at 9500g.

Gold Sellers.

I know why you didn’t implement a face to face trade system. To prevent the ease of gold selling. Now, the players are suffering from the ultimate end-game goal, a legendary. Some players were lucky enough to buy their precursors after the Karka Event. Most were not lucky enough.

So, because Arena Net does not seem to be winning in this battle against the gold sellers, I suggest they implement a face to face trade option. This would level out the market again and crush the ever lasting profit the gold sellers are making off precursors.

Also, they still win if you delete/ban their accounts because you indefinitely deleted the items and gold they had on that account. Making the economy even more messed up.

Guild Wars had a face to face trade option, and you never heard of manipulation on the game. It is near impossible to buy out 1 item in the game with a face to face trade interface.

Having only 1 means to buy your items from other players never ends well.

A prime example, (I’m not comparing the games, just the interfaces) Runescape put limits on face to face trade to stop gold selling and added The Grand Exchange (The Trading Post, basically). There were entire guilds/clans buying out the high level items, waiting for the price to increase and dumping them all. Making tremendous profits for the entire guild/clan.

What the gold sellers are doing is, buying out the precursors and waiting for some desperate person to post outrageously high buy order, so that they can make profit.

Now, the scavenger hunt idea will make getting precursors easier. Also, making them cheaper. Except, the T6 materials required for crafting a legendary.

Let’s say there’s 10,000 onyx lodestones on the market at any given time. Someone with 20 slot bags and the default bank space could hold 130 stacks of 250. Which is 32,500 Lodestones. Now, we also know that gold sellers have tons of accounts. 1 account could buy out 1-2 types of lodestones.

Now, this sounds radical and out of this world. Except, non-gold-selling players have bought legendaries for thousands of gold. The amount of gold these sellers have seems infinite. The only thing stopping them from buying out T6 materials is, the precursor market is still good.

So please, Implement the old school face to face trade interface. So that we no longer have to worry about how much our precursor will go up this week. The trading post will still be used for selling items fast and cross server. Now we can trade without the TP and not be afraid if the person we sent 200g too will send back that precursor (trading via mail).

I’m not on the forums much, so I don’t know if this has been touched upon yet or not. But if some of you remember the pets in GW1, when you levelled them, they got bigger and were no longer Juvenile (Species of pet) but rather just the species. They would grow noticeably larger. I remember my Ranger from GW1 had a bear that stood as tall as him on all four legs. When the bear stood on two legs straight up, it was nearly as tall as the norn bear forms from EOTN.

I’m curious if they are going to implement that into the game. It was a big reason to level myself and other pets, to see just how big they became.

Please, any insight to this would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
