Alrighty then! Thx for encouragement!
Just wanted to know if my ol’ Longbow Ranger can still pose a threat in PvP, considering the so-called OP-ness of all these new HoT classes, and current ‘Bunker’ meta!
Will keep an eye on those nasty reflects!
People learned how to use reflects, huh? Oh well…
I’m not mixing power setups. Longbow is my primary killing weapon. I only took shortbow because melee weapons are lame choice for Sniper and ranged Axes rely on condition damage. So I used it only to escape from close combat situations – Swift on weapon swap and cripple from Shortbow helps when Hunter’s Shot fails!
I was all ’bout Direct Damage in this build, trust me. It rekt people. Such shame that is no longer the case coz of reflects!
What are my alternatives in post-HoT meta if I wanna play a Core Sniper-type? Rifle Warrior, I guess?
Pre-HoT returning player here! I used to snipe a lot with my longbow/shortbow-oriented build in PvP Arenas, and I’m wondering if it’s still an efficient strategy post-HoT. My build was simple – Heal as One, Sharpening Stones, Quickening Zephyr, [Condi removal Signet], Rampage as One. Arrows poppin’, motherhackers droppin’!
I hear new classes are OP as hell, though! Makes my Core Ranger QQ a bit…
Wow! 55 pages… When will people actually do finally give up and see, that Cantha most likely will never come back???
Nevar! We shall hammer this forum with Cantha threads ‘till we get our precious lovely xpac! Doesn’t matter if it takes hundreds or even thousands pages! Guild Wars ain’t complete without the Empire of the Dragon! More importantly, WE are not complete without our homeland! #CanthanLivesMatter #ForTheTurtle
Imagine gliding over Shing Jea Island, Kaineng City or Jade Sea! Hnnnng!
I’d play with dat clASS forever!
It’s so…perfect!
Two Swords, man! ;>
My “favs”:
“Replenishing”
“Eat my dust!”
“<something> SIX FEET TALL!!!”
“Defense, then Offense!”
Frakkin’ annoying! We need mute option! Please!
Scratch that “hidden thieves” part and it’s good!
I think Queen Jenna is just some code in a virtual reality, and all of Tyria is just algorithms running on some computers somewhere.
It ain’t Matrix, pal!
Gimme Kurz*icks to hate!
I used to be a Luxon, slaughtered many Kurz*icks!
Fort Aspenwood was awesome, too bad that PvP in Guild Wars 1 is dead by now…
I’m pretty sure that ANet mentioned Player’s House located in every Major City!
It will be instanced for everybody and will change according to player’s achievements and progress in story…
Or something like that – they mentioned it long before game’s release, but couldn’t implement it coz deadline…
Keeping maybe some to the Asian theme, but not being bound by it.
Not being bound by it? Hmh..
Take a look at this, pal:
Tengu (???, “heavenly dog”) are a type of legendary creature found in Japanese folk religion and are also considered a type of Shinto god (kami) or y?kai (supernatural beings).
Although they take their name from a dog-like Chinese demon (Tiangou), the tengu were originally thought to take the forms of birds of prey, and they are traditionally depicted with both human and avian characteristics.
The earliest tengu were pictured with beaks, but this feature has often been humanized as an unnaturally long nose, which today is widely considered the tengu’s defining characteristic in the popular imagination.
Buddhism long held that the tengu were disruptive demons and harbingers of war. Their image gradually softened, however, into one of protective, if still dangerous, spirits of the mountains and forests.
Tengu are associated with the ascetic practice known as Shugend?, and they are usually depicted in the distinctive garb of its followers, the yamabushi.
As you can see – they’re very Asian-themed…
I have no interest in Tyria (a continent…)
I don’t care about Kryta, Queen, Zhaitan, “Pact”, Charr, Sylvari, Tequatl, Shatterer, Asura, Norn, Jormag, Kralkatorrik, Destiny’s Edge, Scarlet Briar and whole Living Story etc…
My name is Seraph Of Cantha, and I use that name ever since I began my journey on Shing Jea Island…
Cantha is my home, and I want to go back there, walk around Kaineng City, visit my Luxon allies in The Jade Sea, free Canthans from Emperor’s oppression.
You’d ask me – “Why dahell are you even playin’ If u don’t like GW2!? Hurr Durr?!”
Preparations, I make preparations for my return…
Every day, and on every character I collect as much resources and money as I can.
I learn how to play each class to became stronger and better Assassin, I seek clues and lore about Cantha everywhere, and I wait patiently in The Mists.
I believe that the day will come, when I can go back to the only place in whole Tyria (the world) I actually love…
Yeah, that was deep, I hope some of you feel the same…
(edited by Seraph.6145)
Now Zhaitan is dead, the Pact has achieved something, but I can’t imagine it staying eternal and kill alls dragons easily.
War between nations and races could help to bring a darker tone to GW2, and would make players feel more involved, as each race would defend its point of view.
As the Pact take immense ressources to stay as one, problems could rise between nations, and make the entire thing a bit more complicated.
What do you think ?
“Darker Tone”, forget it, it’s Guild Wars – there is no darkness here…
By “darkness” I mean horrific monsterz, blood, carnage, cruelty and such…
You want a dark fantasy? Try Warhammer (not 40k)!
I doubt that we will have to fight other races, after they finally united…
Besides, Why would Humans fight Norns or Sylvari?
I agree that all other races would like to wipe out Asuras, coz everybody hates those little frakkers…
And Charr could invade Kryta with Centaurs backin’ them, coz they both hate Humans…

Good Idea, Pistols should be faster and more visual appealing!
Shooting from only 1 Pistol like 90% of the time is boring!
You have my vote!
Nvm, found a guild without forum….
Screw Monks, gimme Shaman!
Something similar to Ritualist, but slightly different…
Class capable of communing with The Mists and binding spirits to it’s will…
SoS v2.0 pls!
He would be a good support class, though I’d give him a powerful Lightning-based spells too…
If new class will be introduced in Cantha Expansion, Shaman would fit perfectly…
Yes, yes Shaolin-Monk-type o’ class would fit too, but Shaman is closer to Ritualist…
And we had Ritualists in Cantha Expansion before, why change that now?
Or…you know what? Why not add both? That’d be awesome!!!
We gotta wait ’till they release expansion with Cantha, I think!
You know – join the Resistance Fighters against Evil Emperor and help bring peace and freedom to Cantha, so that every race, and every Faction could live together without further conflicts.
Tengu are essential here, coz they lost their homes due to Emperor’s politics, besides:
- In Japanese folklore, Tengu are a class of supernatural creatures. Similarly, tengu clothing and personality appears inspired by ancient Japanese culture, including Bushido.
- According to the Making of Guild Wars 2 book, the Tengu were a strong candidate for the playable races, with the Dominion of Winds to be their starter city.
Be patient, friends, we will have Tengu, and we will help them go back to their home!
It is inevitable…
Thieves with rifle?
Ridiculous!
Completli out of Thief theme :/So is everything else. Don’t forget we DO NOT have a 1200 range option. Rifle sounds better than Longbow anyway.
Why not just roll a ranger if you want a 1,200 range option?
Why?! Because I’m Assassin/Thief/Rouge type, that’s why!
I don’t want to play Ranger, I don’t want to play Warrior!
But I do – to learn these classes and find their weaknesses – only reason, rly!
Oh ok, I do play Ranger for one more reason – He can Snipe and Thief can’t!
Why else?
Coz Rangerz haz petz and Warriorz are stupid buffz! Thatz why!
Guild Wars was always about Story and Lore!
Guild Wars 2? Not so much, coz ANet is puttin’ more attention to frakkin’ Living Story, PvP, Grind, Grind, Also Grind, Have I mentioned Grind? And Grind…
Imma Guild Wars veteran and I enjoyed re-playable story missions just for the sake of cutscenes and story. Screw rewards anyway!
Example? As an Assassin, I defeated Shiro alone, just because I wanted to do so!
No heroes, no henchmans, no pets!
Just me (and Mhenlo – he died after like 10 secs) and Shiro Tagachi!
It took me more than 6 minutes, which provided me with smallest reward available!
So what? I defeated Him! Saved Cantha! Avenged Togo! United Factions! Yaaay!
And then, there was that “Divine Path” moment, where everybody was kneeling before me, shouting my name, calling “hero” and such! And those Tengu warriors, and kids running around….
Unforgettable! (Zhaitan is a joke!)
10000x times better than some stupid loot, worth a few coin after story mission completion!
It truly was, My Story!
Right now, in Guild Wars 2 – It’s Destiny’s Edge Story – Who cares about them?! Who?!
I support this thread!
/signed!
Queen ain’t real, It’s just one of Kalkatorrik’s illusions!
He’s foolin’ with us! I tell ya…
First he hipnotized Logan, then called for “help” when Destiny’s Edge was about to slay him!
So Logan went to Ebonhawke to help “Jennah”…
….while Kalkatorrik broke free when Snaff died and flew away in peace…
D*MN I"M GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!
Commander tag shall be harder to gain!
100g is a pure joke, someone can gain it just for lulz!
Voting system sounds good!
To become a Commander, you have to prove that you are worthy, and gain support of other players!
I support everything that’d make becoming the Commander a lot harder!
Srsly, no PvP guilds on EU servers, or what? 0,o
Make “legendaries”, LEGENDARY, ANet!

I hate Charr, and I love killing them!
Therefore, I shall support this thread!
Make my hated enemy a worthy enemy!
Let them look glorious in their armors!
Can’t respect an enemy who looks silly!
I vote for Charr Revamp!

Stop complaining guys. Thieves are suppose to be like this. Vanish and escape beyond opponent’s reach. Without evades and teleports like Infiltrator’s strike, Thief is dead, besides – spamming Infiltrator’s Strike is a waste of Initiative which can be used for massive DPS spam. If you see someone doing it, they’re doing it wrong. You don’t know how to kill a Thief? Learn to play, they’re not as OP as you think.
Oh, one more thing! You complain about shadowstep that goes back poor 1200?
Remember Guild Wars 1. Aura of Displacement or Shadow Meld could shadowstep back through enitre map! MAP!
Besides, if some classes are iritating you, don’t complain and ask for nerf, I never do so. Mesmer is hard for me … so what? I’ll learn how to play against it and be a better player in result! ANet isn’t listening to you anyway! No matter how loud you scream and shout! Deal with it!

I agree, and I’ll add to it!
Access to tournament matches – Solo and Team Arenas – should be restricted for new players, at least ‘till rank 10 or 15!
It’ just freakin’ annoying whe you lose match, because 2 out of 5 players are “first time here”! They why the hell they even join Tournament Arenas, if all they do is ruin someone else’s game?! I play with my friends, there’s 4 of us, but not always. In most cases there’s 2 or 3 of us.. We have communication and tactics, but it all goes south when one su-cker is just runnin’ around doin’ nothing ot stays AFK! But here’s something even worse – you go to the roster, join queue and what happens? You have the same frakkin’ su-cker AGAIN!
ANet should add something to “block” function – like in TOR.
When you block someone out there, that person will never be able to join your team both in PvE and in PvP!
We want it here!

I’m trapped in Spirit Watch along with other players!
Says that my team won, I got my Glory and stats but no tournament reward so far…
When we attempt to leave to Heart of the Mists, it goes back to Spirit Watch…
Presumably, PvP is down, and we’re all trapped for eternity!
It’s a good place to die, at least! ;>
^ Grow up.
And what is wrong with pistols?
Combined with Runes of Perplexity they can stack a ridiculous amount of confusion on 1-2 targets using Headshot with bounce (Which can also apply blind by shooting through 5th skill), let alone 5th skill is almost entirely anti melee). And unload is pretty decent in terms of constant pressure…
Grow up yourself, kid.
Though I agree with your second point, I still believe that Thieves simply lack a good, ranged weapon. It’s my opinion and you – surprisingly – don’t have to agree with me!
Yes, it’s that easy! Just say it, instead of insulting ppl you don’t know…unless you’re a troll or hater or something like that…
Also, I don’t know what’s your issue with Thieves bein’ hard to catch.
It’s the way they are. Hit and Run, or you Die.
Zacchary’s idea of Thief’s rifle is far from being OP or Imbalanced.
It renders them completely defensless in melee range and requires a huge amounts of initiative to inflict some serious damage.
If you’re having problems fighting thieves, then learn to play that class, srsly.
Once you figure it out that, it will be easy to predict your opponent’s next move.
No no no, you’re all wrong.
Replace death blossom with Horns of the Ox (Knockdown).
Make Backstabs stun the target for 5 seconds, plus cripple and weakness.
Dancing Dagger to be replaced by “You’re All Alone!”, which in GW2 will not only cripple and weaken, but give you fury, 10 stacks of might, and regeneration.
/Seriously
U mad bro?
We don’t want Thieves to be “Imba Op”….although it would be nice, very nice! ;>
We want a ranged weapon that doesn’t suck both in range and damage!
Since Pistols and Shortbow are beyond salvation, new weapon is required…
So it’s either a Longbow or Rifle!
Current range weapons are not suited for purpose of destroyin’ enemies…
Shortbow – escapes, Pistol – offhand-only!
U got it now?
Srsly, watch or participate in any World Boss fight.
Few Mesmers are makin’ more sound than all other players….combined!
Hell, sometimes I can’t hear parts of epic themes, like “Raven Speaks”!
Especially during Boss encounters!
And I have Music volume set at maximum!
I guess it’s about Greatsword’s skill(s) that are so loud, might be wrong though!
It’s just frustrating, so please consider turnin’ Mesmer’s volume a little bit down, k?

I’m not an RPer, but I’d like to be one in the future….
Don’t know which server is best for RP, though…
Anyways, good luck RPers!
Yes, Rifles for Thieves are excellent idea, fits so well with the class, and my playstyle.
I love bein’ Sniper.
Campin’, Scoppin’ and Droppin’!
Able to deal helltons of damage from range and gtfo fast if someone is chasin’ me.
The only reason I play Ranger, actually …
But I don’t want to play Ranger and I’d like to have reliable, ranged weapon for Thief. Pistols and Shortbow are crap, especially in PvP…
Well, ok Shortbow is good if it comes to runnin’ away, Pistols are not…
Dear ANet, please consider Zacchary’s idea!
I’m up for that! I’d write down all my builds to remember and activities/personal achievements! Also, a black list – filled with ppl to destroy on PvP! Haha!
I’m annoyed with that background sound that is present like…everywhere. No matter where you are and what you do, It’s out there all the time. It’s hard to describe, but it sounds like someone is droppin’/movin’/placin’ a glass vials or bottles or something like that and it makes them…umm… make that sound.
Happens all the time and very often, once every minute or so, and you can hear it even when music volume is set to maximum!
Maybe it’s some kind of subliminal method of Indoctrination? <Tin foil hat on>
If yes, then it doesn not work on me, dear ANet. It only Iritates me!
@Runeblade – The problem is, that there are some people who enjoy playin’ as Ranger the most. Other classes are just “meh” for ‘em.
And they can’t enjoy their favorite class in 100% because of that stupid pet that stalks you everywhere and all the time! Got it?
Thief: Rifle, Longbow, Sword(OH),Torch
Ranger: Sword(OH)
Elementalist: Greatsword
Engineer: Torch, Hammer
Necromancer: Shortbow
Warrior: Torch
Guardian: Sword(OH), Mace(OH)
Yeah, I died too many times in dungeons because of…nothing. Very often there are no warnings, no circles or indicators. In one moment you’re runnin’, the second you’re downed. Why?! When?! How?! Let’s take Caducauceuesaues Manor for example!
There is a sniper on the tree, but you don’t know that, you are focused on the ground game. And when you’re occupied with intense combat, that malfunctioning Sniper takes you down with one frakkin’ shot!
Where’s: “SNIPER ON THE HILLS!!!” or “TAKE COVER!!!”??
I stopped visiting dungeons – too many deaths by “nothing” and runnin’ around, screaming:
“HELP ME JESUS! HELP ME JEWISH GOD! HELP ME ALLAH! HELP ME TOM CRUISE!”
or something like that….
Anyways, yeah – you’re right, have my +1!
Exactly, we shall have personal Sub-Marines, with Nuclear Warheads on boards.
Made by CharrLee Inventions Co.
A perfect idea, Time Glitch! Obataining “Legendary” with your method would be so…rewarding. But first – they need “Legendaries” look truly legendary, coz they look like toys for little babies. You’ve got a rattle, a frakkin’ unicorn-bow, bubble-something pistol.. I mean, come on! It looks more than silly! Enemies would kill me with laugh If I’d charged them with a rattle or a unicorn-bow! “Twilight” is a good example on how a “Legendary” should look like, or “Prophecies of Flameseeker”, “The Predator”! That’s how it’s done! Oh, and if you make Legendaries, ANet, make sure you consider every weapon! Where is the Dagger?
I’m not gettin’ Legendary anyway though…not with current method! Waste of gold, nerves and time IMO! I laugh at players with Legendaries, srsly!
Someone please think about the children
Someone already said, that there should be “parental control” button!
I don’t like melee combat, at all!
As a dedicated Assassin/Rogue/Thief/Infiltrator/Shadow in many RPGs I like to stay behind and snipe ppl from safe distance. Sometimes it’s a bow, sometimes a Sniper Rifle! My Range is long, my shots powerful but at the expanse of being rather…fragile. Typical glass cannon! Unfortunately that is not an option for Thieves in Guild Wars 2, which is odd, considering that they are damage-oriented class, and I’m forced to play Sniper Ranger…with a pet, which I don’t like!
I want be able to customize my playstyle. If not by adding new skills, then by adding new weapons. Rifle for Thief is a good idea. Make him a Sniper, coz why not?
It doesn’t have to be OP and deal helltons of damage! It’s about the style!
@TomEdo +1
Templates, definietly. I’m having hard times remebering all these builds for my characters and it’s frakkin’ annoying! Make templates! At least in PvP!
Yeah, there should be an option for ranger to permanently stow a pet but only in PvE, for in PvP a pet is very important! This is just beyond irritating! You take falling dmg – pet appears, you attack something – pet appears, you go underwater – pet appears!
Melandru dammit, NO! Get back into the Petaball and sit there, ’till I summon you!
Yep, you have my vote! I’d like to have an option in the game menu that allows you to turn off everything. Chat, health “ball”, Stamina bars, Initiative “stars” – all of that and replace thse indicators with something more…ummm…neutral.
Reddened borders are good indicators of HP runnin’ low, though I’d add more effects, like: Screen goes gray when you fall to 15-10% of health, and then goes black & white when under 10% of health. Reddened borders may grow in size, limitating your sight. Stuff like that.
There would be issues on how to “naturally” indicate some of the conditions, though. How do I know that I’m Tormented? Or that I’m bleeding or blind, or “revealed” ?
How bout boons, hm? Some are easy to tell, like aegis or swiftness. What about “vigor”, “regeneration”, "protection"etc? Hmm?
Also, how do I check my “initiative” – which is crucial for Thieves! I just need to know how much is left. Next – Stamina/Endurance.
I rely on Evades heavily. You might me a Guardian or a Warrior with Heavy armor, so u don’t need it as much as I do! Sure, Acrobatics and Vigor are allowing me to evade quite often but I need to see when I can do so, coz If I can’t – I’d be wasting time with pushing useless buttons! Wasted time = more damage taken and missed opportunites for counter-attack!
Next is cooldown – again, your build might be signet-oriented, so you’re like: “screw cooldowns anyway” I don’t have cooldowns on weapon skills, so that’s ok, but I need to see my utility and elite skills’ cooldowns! No other option!
I suppose that there are even more issues with that “UI off”, but I support it anyways!
I love minimalistic “UI”, always did, and I’d love to see something like that in Guild Wars 2, because – for example – quests/hints/events notifications are very iritating. Can’t I have a simple mission log/journal/“quests” tab? In which I can choose which of them I want to track?
“New Event Nearby” and circles on the map are enough, I don’t need my whole screen flashing with notifications!
Please, change it!

Her stats are high, and she is labeled as a “boss”/“villain” but she isn’t….
She ain’t a Dragon, nor some kind of overpowered, ancient and mystical creature that deserves to be called a “boss” or “villain”!
Abaddon was a villain, Shiro Tagachi was a villain, Dragons are villains!
She commands Dredge and Charr? So what? I killed thousands of those! No challenge here! I just don’t feel her as a “villain” because…It’s just a Sylvari!
Throw a Torch and see what happens when it hits her! Hahahaha!
Europe, Rank 18, Still Beginner, tough I have some experience:
- Over 120 matches as Ranger, mostly Sniper role!
- Nearly 50 matches as DPS Thief with Dagger & Pistol oriented build!
- 50 matches as Elementalist, Cantripper!
- Preparing my Engineer for first matches after I reach 50 with Thief!
I’m a quick learner, I know how things work in PvP, what to do, where to go, but I always learn something new! I have friends with Skype, but we’re having issues with coordination. I promise, that I’ll give 100%, for my goal is to become ultimate kitten in PvP and reach Rank 80!
P.S. – No matter which character is online, call me Seraph! ;>
P.S.2 – Sadly, english isn’t my primary language! Bear with me…
If you are from Europe, then you are welcom to play with Me and EnlightenedBaka.6708.
We’re no pr0 yet, but we’re good. We aim to be faster, better and stronger.
Already have 3 other ppl in our team, but they’re presence in game is very random…
Ranks 10-20, so little too low for ya’ I guess.
Still… you can play with us while you’re looking for a better team!
We use Skype, by the way.
Just keep in mind that English isn’t our first language. We’re good, but not perfect in that matter…
Note: We’re from Europe!
I’m currently focused on Ranger/Sniper and I’m good at this, as for EB…well – he’s experimentin’ with all classes. He’s good at almost everything but has most experience with Warrior and Mesmer. (Correct me If I’m wrong, though!, lol!)
