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.

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.
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
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.
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
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.
Same experiences yesterdays eve on SFR-BL´s … Skilllags and DC, ended something arround 10.30pm CEST.
Seemed like some SFRers and Desonauts had the same issues
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
Only speaking of guilds I know and just a listing (no ranking!) … there´ll be a hell lot of more or less good guilds which Imaybe forgott
Endure Pain [PAIN] – Kodash – international (English/German)
Dawn [DAWN] – Gandara – international (English)
The Unlikely Plan [TUP] – Gandara – international (English)
Semper Dius [DIUS] – Piken Square – international (English)
Forgotten Light [FL] – Piken Square – international (English)
Still feeling lucky [PunK] – Gunnars Hold– international (English)

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
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
As I understand this Post nothing fixed for the time after season ended (as there weren´t any news according to this)
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
I´m also running some Celestials (in general some armor but not full and situationwize some trinkets), mixed with some other stat gear.
As Lucente wrote, celestial is a very good base for survivability with a good access to damage and lets you decide, which way you wanna go
And you should´nt forget the healing of “Empower”
got one Zerker-Armor at approx rank 300ish and one Soldier-ring at rank 538
Armor from foe, ring from Camp-Lord
From rankup-chests just some rares and 1 or 2 exotics, mostly crappie Greens
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)
“XY, you die too much” made me giggle
Btw … who leads the raid? The guildleader or the raidleader? As I know, the raidleader
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.
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)

RIP olde IRONmate and keep trolling wherever your Star shines
Depends on what you want to do
PvE or WvW (and there roaming, pug-zerging or guildraid)?
Its also possible talk to the enemies now, but the actuall way is more dífficult, which prefents the must flamers.
I personally would enjoy it really, coz I like to speak and smacktalk to my enemies in a friendly way, but globaly – rly don´t know, possibly more or less a bad move
the punts are awesome, made me roflmao and sharing some tears of laughter
Dunno what´s your prob with the site? Obviousely you didn´t check it before.
The posts in the MU-Threads there are pretty nice and calm (tbh, I´m talking about the EU-MU-Threads, NA I don´t rly check). Sometimes some heck and funny posts (which belongs to a competitive gamecontent), but rly civilized and friendly – maybe a bit more, than it was here.
So, why so mad?
Gimme moar loot
It´s up to everbody to visit, register and vote on www.gw2wvw.net, the more people do this, then a representative vote is possible. It won´t fit for everybody, but that the same in every voting.
… to keep it simple: “freaking awesome crew”
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
hehe, got also wiped from you, it was in September/October 2012, between Refuge and Bay on Abas Borderlands
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
awesome to see [RG] gettin back in action again!
hf and gl guys – keep going as you did before to rule them all
like Sarcx said: “get this kittenin damage on them”
OMG! No actuall Thread allready
Just take a look >> here <<
… 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
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
Whyyyyy??? You´re so cold-hearted
hehe would be an awesome scene for a vid
It fears me, that I can really visualize this freaking ritual … omfg
But, maybe that will be the highlight of this week – any screens?
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
(edited by Shadow.9641)
Coverage allways decides the winner but as long as it is quite funny it doesn´t bother (tbh I only checked the MU-scores only one time this week).
Overall a nice matchup and way more better than what I´ve seen in the last weeks.
Gl, hf and dig in the upcomming matchups
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

Short compilation of yesterday will be up in the afternoon^^ (beware! beginner style and gaming-toaster)
Sadly didn´t get the “Evil Guardian Chase” – qq
Thanks to the old fellows from AMOK for showing a Dzago-Newbie the nice and comfy maps. Was a pleasure to have a nice eve with ya guys!
Had some nice fights against [CC], you guys are so freaking annoying, nice setup and nice havoc action.
Roflmao-ed geting chased by 5 to 8 Drakkars from RoF western Garri sentry to Arah and half way back. Why didn´t ya get me down until I was half way back?? Ok, tbh, I´m not runnin´ full glassy, maybe thats the prob or ´cause meditations are soo imba … wayne …lots of laughter-caused stomachache today
kittening awesome! made my day
I also don´t think, that roaming is at the end. I believe the end of season will change a lot, especially the numbers in WvW, general lower numbers are equal to get better roaming possibilities and more good fights.
As I can undstand it and as it would be logical, every single char is able to use 350 points
Had a nice fight against a mesmer of your crew at the sentry between our garri and bay – meh, I was mostly riding on the edge to downstae, but was fun until some Gunnars, which are generally absolutely respectfulf “thumbs up”, inced the fight
Alamoo! Sparta!!
Nice and epic Hill-Fight last eve/night! Was kittening awesome fun kicking this enourmouse Roamadon-Blob out – did ya call the EB-Crew, ABa´s? Call them to get wiped? (just kidding, keep cool )
Q: to INC and CROW: Did ya do movement training or roaming in hills yard between inner and outer-ring? Was funny to watch – and tbh, some guys fell into the trap^^
Nice and chilling eve with good and respectfull fights (both Gunnars and Abas)
But best ever was the live-musicbot! Thx Pünktchen, kittening awesome musician “thumbs up”
First idea: Absolutely … doesn´t help anybody
Second idea: why? starting Friday ist just the right time, it helps the servers with good weekend-crews, which maybe won´t join, if the matchup is done if it ends on sundays
