Guild Wars 2

Lord Kuru.3685:

Here’s a better idea. Break up the servers in tiers 1-2 and distribute the players into what’s currently tier 3-8. How do you like that?

First, most or half of those people in those Tiers 1-2 are original to those servers. Secondly, those who are not original to those servers PAID to move to those servers – in other words, your’s and others suggestion to have ANET re-distribute players from those Tier 1-2 servers into Tiers 3-8 is removing PERSONAL CHOICE and definitely not compensating those players that actually PAID to move. What happens if I get moved to a pathetic Tier 3-8 server that I did not or do not want to be on simply because you wanted ANET to re-distribute the player populations on those Tier 1-2 servers? YOU going to pay for my move back to a Tier 1-2 server? Hardly. ANET ever ‘re-distributes’ me to another server without my approval and I will uninstall this game so fast it would make heads’ spin, bet.

Hammer and GS interchangeable, among other minor things.

Mystogan.4157:

no you will do no damage.

158K kills later, I call serious hogwash on this given I have exclusively been using Soldiers with my long-standing frontline necro tank build….. some will always remain clueless. =.=

Why anyone or any guild would transfer to T1 is beyond me, given I am from BG, but if you like running with 75+ man JQ and TC zergs, knock yourself out. The next time you spot a 60+ man BG zerg, screenshot it cause it is near instantaneously dwarfed by most 75+ man JQ and TC zerg(s) these days…..getting pretty sick and tired of this T1 zerg-mindset garbage (of late) for sure.

Stability blah. Been running this for nearly a year now and it is quite an effective frontline necro – yep, frontline, you go in with the guardians and warriors – definitely requires a playstyle that virtually all necro players are unfamiliar with.

Chrhal.4983:

So here yesterday we had an amazing battle with Piken Square and Abbadons Mouth in Piken Garrison. The battle went on for 21 min (yes we times it) and I think most WvW oriented guild have had a similar experience sometime.

The thing that made the battle so long was well play by Piken and Abbadon, but unfortunately also a mechanic which I would like to be adressed = bannering of dead lords. Everyone I talk to, is against the priciple that you can banner res a dead lord and I can’t imagine that is was Anet’s intention to make this skill res dead NPC’s?

So this thread suggesting a dicussion of how we can adress the bannering of dead NPC’s.

Here are some of my suggestions:
- Remove the fact that lord can be ressed by warrior banner when he is dead
- Give the lords in Towers, Keeps etc. a downed state in which he can be bannered. We see down state more and more in PvE, so it should be easy to integrate.
- Give the lord a debuff so he can’t be bannered for 5 min after a banner res

What do you guys think of this?

Lastly I would like to say, that I don’t in any way blame Piken’s warriors for using this mechanic, we would have done the same!

21 minute battle? Dude, that IS EPIC! You should be celebrating such a glorious battle instead of what you are doing now. As for your idea(s), NO! It will remove those EPIC long and glorious battles.

148.4K kills and this build still rocks wvw kitten but beware of being focus-fired….bad voodoo.

The SoR implosion continues…..

SpehssMehreen.5897:

what server are you on?

he’s in blackgate

Your reading and comprehension skills are dubious, at best.

Anet might want to seriously consider getting its collective act together when it comes to WvW or they will definitely see a large number of hardcore WvW’ers (paying customers, as well) head to ESO. Fix the freakin’ lag already and clean up the coding – how the hell is there no lag in EoTM with zerg v.v zerg, and yet, we have it in the BLs…wtf? Yeah, heed this message, Anet, cause revenue, to whatever degree it may be – it all adds up) is at stack, yeah?

You two cannot handle Ranger pets, you might want to seriously reconsider a few things. The problem here is not the Ranger nor the ranger pet(s), it is you.

Please nerf this thread……

MidoriMarch.8067:

………..while its extremely easy to play u can just facepalm everything in pve/pvp/wvw.

Yeah, right, that is why I repeatedly, on a daily basis, witness warriors getting rolled in PvE, PvP, and WvW. Nerf needed. No…………

Runty Choir.4893:

Burst mastery makes burst skills cost 33% less therefore only using 2 bars of adrenaline and removing 2 conditions. By not taking it i pay the full cost but lose 3 conditions.

Last time I tested (about 5 months ago) it still removed 3 conditions when burst mastery was traited. I haven’t heard of any changes to it, I guess I’ll have to test it again.

Tested in game.
Burst mastery REFUNDS one adrenaline bar. It expends all bars, which means 3 at full and removed 3 conditions, then refunds one bar.

Don’t take skill tool tips literally. Always test. You have been gimping your build by assuming

Burst mastery is not needed if one has traited for cleansing ire. With cleansing ire traited, adrenaline build-up is quick, real quick – enough to allow for quick successions of Earthshakers.

Julie Yann.5379:

Again, the problem is not the Hammer or Hammer Stuns, The problem is having 20+ hammer warriors and guardians hitting you at the same time but you could have 20+ of anything hitting you at the same time and it would still be OP.

Agreed on your first mention but disagree with the second mention being classed as a ‘problem’ when it is not, it is simply math and physics: group DPS > single output DPS.

Baronessvonbaugh.2165:

I found out that necromancers don’t work well in WvW.

O’rly? Shows how much you have actually run a necro in WvW, huh?

Heezdedjim.8902:

Thanks a lot, WvW. How the hell am I supposed to get my Legendary now?!

You manage….like everyone else that has gone before you!? Chop, chop and quit QQing.

Works wonderfully running in 18-35 man T1 wvw EU guild runs.

Harbinger.8637:

My hp is only around 15.5k if I invest 30 into Honor. In PvE you really don’t need it, and in WvW you’ll get the Guard Fortitude Buff. So I don’t see a reason to stack a large amount of vit.

Come run with [HB] for a couple guild raid runs and then perhaps you will understand the need for having a crap load of vitality compared to that which you think is sufficient (15.5K)…..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JDTivRyvBw

You know, not everyone is a zergling.

And you have no frakin clue what a “zergling” is because your simply one of those who throw it around thinking your hurting someone’s feelings or something to that degree. Grow the frak up. Our guild runs around with 20-35 at most and we purposely zone out or WP to dump pugs that may get attached.

I hardly doubt they are running a “70” man zerg but if they are running a “70” man zerg, then they had better tighten up cause the [Kazo] we ran into yesterday during EU time amounted to easy tasty bags.

Ranger profession forum mean anything remotely to this thread since apparently, we have moderators failing at their jobs and have not moved this to the more appropriate forum?

Slic.9541:

Hello fellow warriors! I decided to give my ranger a rest and leveled myself up a warrior and I must say….I love it!!!! Anyways after seeing many roaming warriors decided to film some clips and here it is, my first roaming warrior video!! Many to come! Thanks to whatevakaiXD for inspiring me!

-Deadly Boom

Nothing more than a variation of other like roaming builds for zerk warriors…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNVxSDAbLw4

As a member of HB (BG wvw guild) and having encountered [Deth] via EotM, they are a solid guild and one I enjoyed fighting against with my HB guild mates when we did encounter them a couple times in EotM.

Anet remove WvWvW from this game, in any form that makes WvWvW not what it is in its current state, and this game is done for me, and be assured, I would not be the only one.

Setun.4368:

Haven’t changed out of Healing Surge in any of my builds. I don’t like to rely on healing signet as one long duration poison application at the wrong time will counter it pretty kitten

e long duration poison application = gone via shake it off or soldier runes and a shout.
HS will remain quite the choice for many WvW warriors.

Lalangamena.3694:

probably this
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIAQNAS5enoE1CZMEqQwEZAB9QD/iqQVAPSPGjyYAB-jUBBofCypmFRjtMqIasKbYqXER1yAwsFA-w

the expensive version of that would be sentinel instead of soldiers.
its very mobile, have stability, two stun breakers, swim in vigor, have numerous way to clean conditions ( and melandru runes +food + dogged march will make it Teflon warrior)
have two blocks on mace/shield. numerous dazes, two stuns (though on F1 )

this is probably the build that will stand after the zerg have passed on him.

Umm no given even this build can be thrashed soundly – Try running against an NS, HB, TW, etc. WvW guild zergs and your claims will amount to one thing: your being spiked or having the smarts to make the early decision to bail kitten and run before getting spiked. But yeah, it is another solid WvW warrior build, Lalangamena, but as has been indicated, the build is only one part of being able to survive – player skill with said build also has its role.

Noble.3647:

You know Necros are THE Punked Profession. It is like the Devs sit in a room & think of new, more annoying ways to punk us.

- The UI Delay
– All the other Bugs
– Condition-based Interrupts that can be easily ignored
– Stupid, and I mean STUPID Minions (that often do not even attack)
– Only Profession without Practical Stability
– Only Profession without Blocks/Evasion/Invulnerability
– Only Profession without access to Vigor (as via traits)
– Only Profession without a #1 Arcing/AoE Attack
– Only Profession with a Weapon [Staff] that is pretty Useless against Downed Opponents

And yet, I am able to get over 106.7K kills in WvW with such a punked profession…..lol shakeshead

So laughable to read some of the lily complaints here, especially from known roamers.

Fighting, Oozo, fighting and may I add, the wvw guild I belong to had some glorious fights in the hour we spent in EoTM last night.

You are not ‘forced’ into anything, OP; therefore, your use of such word is dubious, if not laughable, at best.

Manuelito.6081:

You cannot run a build, in my opinion, that will allow you to be well off in both PvE and WvW.

Bingo!

I utilize a wvw frontline necro tank build that would have those condi’s you spam out amount to being worthless cause they would roll off like beads of water.

Wow, not much to say to any of the above. Unreal how some of you let yourselves get to the point of feeling like you do. Ah well, I suppose I will continue to play with my tank necro in WvW and enjoy the steady and copious amounts of badges and loot bags I have long gotten in WvW – 77848 kills and mounting. I love my necro!

joffmonk.1285:

i still think guardians biggest failing is their lack of hp, its too crippling to allow variations of specs to be used.

To fix the alleged ‘lack of hp’ problem you assert about Guardians is to inherently re-invent or seriously cause the alteration or removal of many of those traits and skills that allow for Guardian sustainability and survival with that alleged ‘lack of hp’. Guardian has a number of variations it can play and play effectively if the player playing such knows each variant build weaknesses and strengths – what it can do and cannot do. I get the feeling many of you want your Guardian play to be simply keyboard faceroll like a warrior…

fadeaway.2807:

I don’t play much of the above game types, I’m looking to start playing more of them.

Is this right?

For zerg wvw:
0/0/30/30/10, selfish pvt gear, selfish melandru runes, lemongrass poulty soup.
(Basically selfish survival is key in a blob).

For team based gvg:
0/0/10/30/30, cleric gear, soldier runes, lemongrass poulty soup.

Any suggestions would be appreciated thanks

Personally not understanding why you are such, especially if you are talking GvGing…given GvGing infers that you are part of a hardcore or dedicated WvW guild. As such, does NOT your WvW guild have guild builds for typical zerging and GvGing?

Fannwong.3059:

Hello,

I’m happy to report that we have had some IRON folks return to SOR after their sojourn in Gunners Hold (like DiE). But as a whole SOR does not encourage forum trolling as it is not part of our culture.

Unfortunately, it is part of the culture, you, and a few others, are but the exceptions, Fannwong. But hey, admittedly, BG, JQ, etc. have the same as part of their culture, as well.

Julie Yann.5379:

Setun.4368:

I’m personally not a fan of pure zerker gear only because in a fight once people see how squishy you are you get autofocused immeditatetly. I am more a fan of pvt armor + zerker trinkets or zerker/knights to maximize your damage output, but still being fairly hardy. As others have mentioned there’s a lot of viable builds these days for the warrior, my personal favorite being shout builds w/ soldier runes since condition builds are still insanely popular.

PVT kind of sucks! If you are looking for more survivability you can go Full Valkyrie Armor with cavalier/zerk trinkets, get the same Vit/Toughness of PVT but you also get way better crit damage.

If you want more survivability, go full Valkyrie? What!? PVT sucks? What? Apparently, you do not operate with your warrior within the confines of a serious WvW guild, do ya? lmao…

An utter waste.

What does WvW ranks mean to you?

Saladin: Nothing!
walks a short distance away and turns around
Saladin: Everything!

Personally, ranks are meaningless; spiking you [accumulating body count] = everything.

Agg vs HOPE
Some really good fights

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMZmH0RTANc

Hey yo, where is Jericho? Also, looked to me like things have changed somewhat with you guys or something is up cause it really looked like you guys were having a hard time taking HOPE done even when spiking them. That is not typical of the AGG I had become acutely accustomed to playing against.

Arikyali.5804:

@Rigel: I don’t think you even understood what the build was meant for…did you even read past the title? Hah.

Oh, I read the post but given I play WvW and not lalaland PvE, I simply stated what I saw as truth in WvW: If you want a real mesmerizing army, get 4-5 mesmer together and watch them wreck havoc.

You could have definitely lowered the time to kill by using a GS DPS build along with sword…..

Guardian can be one hell of a tank.

If you define tank like “standing uselessly around at full health while the mob kills your group members and ignores you”, then yes, you can be a tank. Otherwise:

Painbow.6059:

in short no you can’t

Lol, captain clueless to the rescue. Umm, Guardian tanks just fine, kills just fine. Cya on the WvW battlefield. Stay toasty.

The boon removal trap will have no more of an effect than well of corruption or nullfield to a zerg. In some cases, it can be pivotal or an easily overcome nuisance in most other cases. The idea blows in my opinion and amounts to a further waste of supply, but yeah, Anet always listens to the minority, not the majority, so….. =.=

Have No Faith In Me.1840:

Of course the T1 servers (and their TS) are filled with whiny babies that no one wants to be around, those kinds of people always fair weather to places/servers (no matter what game) where they can rely on the other players to win for them.

Having played in T1, namely Blackgate, for nearly half a year before moving back to T2, your above comment and malicious falsehood simply indicates the clueless nature of your falsehood. Blackgate, as with other T1 servers, use TS very, very effectively, hence the desire to get ALL into TS. Furthermore, they utilize methods of Commander comms that allow for greater communications and capabilities with other server commanders.

At any rate, your talking out your clueless behind, nothing more, nothing less.

Army? Lol, want a real mesmerizing army, party and roam with 5 mesmers……….seen it in WvW and they wreck havoc….almost reminds me of 4-5 minion necro’s running together….=.=
