[EU] LF laid-back PVE/PVX Guild

Howdie Ladies and Gents

I’m looking for a laid-back PVE- or PVX- (then preferably based on Piken) Guild with non-mandatory voice-coms, a chilled crowd of mature people, nice but not overextended political correct, helpful because I´m a total PvE-Nuhp if it comes down to Dungeons, Fractals and Raids. I´m not looking for a special kind of content, so I´m open for any kind of PvE-content, like World Bosses, Exploring, Dungeons, Fractals and Raids – but never ever anymore hardcore! (been there, done that and so d#mn fed of it).

I´m hanging around in GW2 since 2nd Beta-weekend, but recently returned from retirement after a 2 ½ year break since the end of 2014.
Until now I did WvW-only (HC-WvW-Raiding for aprox 2 years, roaming, havoc-ing, blabla …), but decided to give PvE a shot after buying HoT and preordering PoF.
Atm I´m farming World-Bosses and SW and exploring the HoT-maps, but I´d like to get deeper into PvE (with some detours into WvW and PvP every now and then).

I´m online 5-6 days a week during EU-prime and -late prime, close to Methusalems age, sarcastic, always open for a joke, helpful and quite experienced with my Guard (working on DH-DPS-Gear), but because of RL I’m sadly not able to voice-com anymore.

Don´t hesitate and contact me here or ingame for more

Cheers
B.H.

PS: pleez no ninja-invites (will be ignored), instead contact me and tell me something about your crew or ask if you wanna know something more.

Guardian WvW roaming montage. Walking aegis 1

in Guardian

Posted by: Shadow.9641

Shadow.9641

Was playing a similar build for some time and it worked really good.

The Mace is a really good, but slow weapon, if it hits it hits like a truck but it can be easily evaded, if you are aware of the animation.

As Lucos said before, the gear isn´t really the best choice. I´d drop Vitality (that amount isn´t necessary) and I´d try to get Precision and Toughness (by Knights- and ascended Precision-Knights-Trinkets).

So you can constantly hit nearly 50% Crit-Chance (with Sigil of Accuracy, Retributive Armor (instead of Focused Mind) and Maintenance Oil), what works really good with Empowering Might and Might-Runes like Strength or Hoelbrak – so your Power-Loss isn´t that high, because you constantly have 10+ Mightstacks up.

You don´t have to waste your Medi´s as Fury-Source, you can keep them and use them, for what they are intented for … as Condition-Removers, -Converters and Heal.

The additional Toughness – amount depending on personal preferences – offers a lot of sustain against incoming burst.

Posted by: Shadow.9641

Shadow.9641

Interesting build

What I don´t get … why the Sigil of Impact? U only have the Kick on Hammer 4 and no other source for Stuns or Knock Downs or do you use the Impact Sigil because of the War and Ele-Stuns/Imobalizes?

Have u tried to swap the Ele-Rune to a Svarnir (the 6th bonus is a bit crappy)/Ice to push Chill a bit more

Wars and Engis in WvW make me need to smoke.

in Guardian

Posted by: Shadow.9641

Shadow.9641

As Hunter mentioned, M/F+GS + Symbols are a kitten good solution

Wars aren´t that problem, as long the stay in range, otherwise they have the mobility-advantage, but thats also counterable.

Engis can be annoying with Perplex or Balthazars, but mainly it depends on their skill. If u lure their cd´s its way more better.

Rising Raiden WvW Solo roam Warrior Build

in Warrior

Posted by: Shadow.9641

Shadow.9641

Build is still viable, with the mobility you can avoid a lot of problems – as Raiden says in the vid.

Sw & Sh aren´t the DMG-Weapons, but compared they are a kitten good base to deal nearly unavoidable DMG and they give you really good mobility aka “bye bye angry crowd”

@ Gamgee: took the Spike-Version … insane, Aba´s and AR´s are bleeding! Thx for the advice m8

Medi Guard - Worth Learning for WvW?

in Guardian

Posted by: Shadow.9641

Shadow.9641

Roaming with the Guard is definately worth!
Imho is harder than other classes, cause roaming with a Guard forces you to go to the edge – so hopping around and hammering random skills leads you directly to downstate.

But if you get deeper into the Guard, it’s a Buster (soloed camps faster with my guard than with my warrior). Tbh the lack of mobility is “a bit tricky”, because if you get outmanned or you have to pull out you are more or less already in downstate or you have a hell lot of luck to survive^^

Give the guard a shot, if you want to get deeper into it and if u want go to the edges, everything beside that doesn’t show the potential of the guard.

I find it interesting that the OP asks who are the best WvW guilds in EU and everyone answers with who they think are the best GvG guilds.

As hard as I try, I can´t get where you see anything according to GvG?!?!!

More or less all of the named guilds are active in openfield and in GvG, so the answering posts are right

Shadow.9641

EOTM was supposed to be a testing place for future WvW updates.
Instead its a PvE KTrain zergling map.

This means to me, that it was(!) supposed and introduced as a WvW-Map.
The massive ktraining there is just a missusage

Why start new content before WvW season ENDS?

in WvW

Posted by: Shadow.9641

Shadow.9641

I don´t think, that the excitement of the festival will last long, cause the redesign is … nah … nvm (not just my opinion, also in the most mapchats I saw yesterday). The excessive farming of the first time isn´t possible, so after a few days all achievements will be done and everything will get in the pre-festival status soon

Servers with the most/least WvW guilds

in WvW

Posted by: Shadow.9641

Shadow.9641

You should also keep in mind, that a bunch of people use their personal bank-guild or “specialized” claiming guilds (wich are gernerally one man shows) just for claiming objectives in WvW

If you´re looking on livemaps you´ll find out that very often fully unknown guilds are claiming stuff (especially the smaller stuff like supply depots and turrets, keeps are mostly claimed by “real” guilds) so I think there is a huge unsharpness in the number of guilds

Nice to see, that [DP] is able to do more, than being the spearhead of a massive Karmablobb, but tbh [SC] is more challenging (except when they are hiding in towers)

Btw … who leads the raid? The guildleader or the raidleader? As I know, the raidleader

EotM is amazing. Thanks WvW team.

in WvW

Posted by: Shadow.9641

Shadow.9641

EotM is now hyped, because it´s new – all the same with quite every new content.

You should see EotM more like something between PvE and WvW. Maybe it will not be what ANet wanted it to be or told us it would be, but it will make the life of a wvwer much more easier.

I believe, sooner or later EotM will be the prefered playground for faceroll-zergling-, part time-, just for fun-, nothing better to do than going to wvw- and Karmatrain only-Players.

The „real“ WvWers, like the Openfielders, GvGers, Roamers and PPTers will find their home and playground on the old maps. But then with the advantage, that there are no more or definately shorter q´s and definately lower number of not so wvw addicted gamers.

OP frontline dps/tank build

in Guardian

Posted by: Shadow.9641

Shadow.9641

Ye, more or less standard build. Sorry tbh, not really op if you want to go DPS-way

Additional changes to Harbinger
- Drop “Purity” and take “Strength in Numbers”, which gives you and your mates infight +150 Toughness
- Go Alturistsic Healing if you go DPS-way (if you´re zerging arround, roaming go meditations)

Also I would reccomend to rework the gear, cause there is some much more DMG possible (my raid-build gives me a +100 standard-crit-hit than yours) and more vitality (wich affects HP directly)

basicly the season wasn’t such a bad but it really needs some adjustmente for a season 2 and the biggest adjustment is, that there are NO!!!! personal achievements are bound to it, coz I think, that ruined season 1 the most.
Also the prices have to be chosen very much better and the servers in the leagues have to be much more better matched, to grant fair chances

Ogre also back, can´t wait to see your next GvG-Showdown “thumbs up”

So much ignorance, envy and hatred in this thread!
Some people should think about the fact (tbh its not gaugeable, but it´s true), that [RG] did a lot for WvW in GW2: they created a meta, the created tactics, they are ideals for former and actuall WvWers, they brought a ton of players to WvW and they gave their knowledge to the other WvWers.

Truly other guilds did this too and [RG] is no Crew of Gods, but [RG] is very good and well known example and maybe a step ahead to other guilds and this should be honored and respected.

Just think about that, take a look at their vids and then take a look at the style of WvW, as it was/is played in the past and in present

… but you always have to see those “forum warriors” making the situations unfriendly and bad

And why doesn´t ANet react against those persons in a hardlined way (but balanced to the basic PvP-background) to clarify, that such kind of forums-missuse isn´t tollerated?
If the punishment is hard enough such individuals and all others will check.

But closing subforums instead of punishing the missusers is the wrong way, cause every visitor of the subforums gets affected and punished by this step

WvW matchup forum being wiped

Posted by: Shadow.9641

Shadow.9641

From my PoV this desicion is a massive flop, maybe one of the biggest since beta!

Tbh, some wordings, flames, blaa … are on the edge or one step ahead, but who are we?? We are all humans, all with different oppinions and styles of using forums. All the users in the MU-Forums are guys and girls, who are having fun ingame and here in the forums – everyone on their own style – maybe some cooling down and thinking about the reply before typing will be the more right way, but again – everone has it´s own style and personality. This sould be agreed and if there´s to much of „pureness“ it should be avenged, but closing the whole subforum is … meh … anyway

I think a lot of WvWers are only comming to the forums (no matter if replying or just reading – take a look at the number of views) caused by the MU-threads and they are maybe also looking into other subforums, maybe writing something there or not, but they are also doing their thing for the community.

This is a incredible badbeat for a WvW-player, the WvW-Community and at least for the complete community

And, no offense, animating the WvWer to move their beloved MU-Threads to an external forum/host is a really cheap move

I´m running GS & S/F because the Focus gives me more survivability (same as Harbinger above) infight

Edit caused by reply:
Switch MI to CoP, then conditions are a way more smaller problem.
I ran Signet of Resolve the last days, because of the cleanse by time and more heal, problem is, that it doesn´t block and it can be easier interrupted

0/5/30/30/5 were my Raid-Off-Guard-Traits (depends on gear, if there is enough DMG, I had 3.3k attack)

atm im running 0/20/30/20 with medis, quite good Basic-DMG and arround 16k HP. 1v1 quite ok, 1vX against average-good enemies a bit difficult (but maybe lack of personal skill)

Edit:
I´m on tour with GS and Sword/Focus, to get mobility by the port on sword 2, the gapcloser on GS 3 and JI. Controll lacks a bit, but mobility resolves this
