Fractal tonic is gonna be so common now…
So by your definition, I am not skilled at all, because only skilled players run zerk.
At least all skilled warriors run zerk so yeah.. you should face reality : you could be better
But what makes one skilled in PvE? Is it the build? Gear set? How many titles, or AP points you have? How fast you can clear a dungeon? Nearly everything can be farmed one way or another, or bought from the TP so that doesn’t mean anything. And speed runs don’t equate skill. All a speed run shows is that you’ve chosen the best meta build, and you know the exploits.
And just because I don’t run beserker doesn’t mean I’m not good. Granted I’m terrible at PvP and WvWvW, those are not really my game styles, don’t enjoy them. But this is PvE we are talking about, it’s a completely different mechanic. And there really is no way to determine how good someone is in PvE.
I chose NOT to run beserker on purpose, yes its the meta, yes it’s the highest DPS, but I wanted to go a different route with my Warrior. That doesn’t mean I’m a bad player. It means I didn’t want to be a sheep and do what every other warrior was doing. DPS doesn’t mean much to me. I have different goals. So your inferance that I’m a bad player by not running beserker is insulting and uncalled for.
Don’t try to justify your play style, I don’t care why you don’t want to play zerk. Maybe it’s because you “don’t want to be a sheep”, maybe it’s because you can’t handle zerk, maybe it’s something else it doesn’t matter. For me, a warrior exists to deal damage. When I take a warrior in my group, it’s because I need DPS, nothing else.
Regarding your question “what makes one skilled in PvE?” it’s very simple : The best PvE players are those who are the best in FoTM (which is the HL part of PvE). When you’re good in FoTM you can do everything in PvE. How to know what group is the best at FoTM? The one who finishes first. Why? Because it means that they were more efficient than others. As I said before, playing zerk requires way more skill than playing PVT or Toughness, Power, Precision or anything else.
So, basically, your ego is screaming “I want to be well known” to the world. I see. Good luck.
So, basically, you didn’t understand my point. Maybe you should read my post again.
If I had an ego that big, I would simply give advices and post videos of my builds et my runs just like DnT…
I just think that it would be awesome to have a PvE tournament. That’s my point. I know that I wouldn’t win it but I’d like to see what rank I could get. Perfectly human.
Failed to kill the boss? what boss? If you kill both of the chanters on one side, more spawn, and continue to spawn as you kill them, endlessly. I’ve done it both ways, and leaving one is FAR easier then killing both. It would seem that making the run EASIER would be the sign of a “good” player, because it makes it faster. But speed isn’t the definition of a good player.
I’m sorry I didn’t understand you, I thought you were talking about the last sigil. My bad.

Are you telling me people don’t skip content/mobs in Dredge and Ascalon?
For dredge people skip between 10 and 12 mobs which represent absolutely nothing and for Ascalon, you HAVE to skip the first mobs because they never stop to spawn so…
That they don’t exploit the final seals in Cliffside by leaving one guy alive on the first seal so that mobs don’t spawn on that side?
People who do that do it because they failed to kill the boss or because they know that they will fail… these are not “good” PvE players.. They lose time compared to those who can kill the boss without this exploit so it’s a bad example, sorry.
Yeah, it would turn into a DPS/Zerker/speed fest. It wouldn’t reflect on anything, other than that group copied the meta well enough to do it. That doesn’t really mean anything, because any noob can get full zerker gear, trait accordingly and still maximize DPS.
You, as well as too many people, don’t realize that the most skilled players are the players who know how to play zerk. You seem to think that playing zerk is the easiest way of playing and it makes me think that you have absolutely no idea of what you’re talking about. Playing zerk is, by definition, being THE MOST EXPOSED to the damage your character gets (your gear gives you no vitality bonus, no toughness bonus, no reduction of condition duration, no condition cleaning, NOTHING) so it is clear that you need to compensate by a good dodging skill, by extreme coordination with your team (knowing when to put Aegis, when to attack, when to put a time warp etc) and it allows almost NO MISTAKE. Especially in FoTM lvl 50. So how could you say that “any noob can get full zerker gear, trait accordingly and still maximize DPS.” This is insanely wrong.
seriously? Didnt get much feedback (and what you did get is negative) so “please dev, please listen to me”.
Very constructive comment Taygus. What I did get wasn’t negative, it was no feedback at all. And yes I’d like devs to consider my idea.
So…the best Zerker player award is what you’re suggesting? Which is essentially the best dodger award? Being the best at dodging in Zerker gear and burning mobs down/skipping content does not constitute (in my mind) the best players. Best players would be the ones that can coordinate fields properly, clear conditions/boons properly. Not who can stack in a corner, and max DPS bosses.
EDIT: If they could have dungeon runs where there could be Anet spectators/judges where players were NOT allowed to stack or skip ANY content, then I might consider it a worthwhile award. Actually having to fight the bosses as intended rather than cheesy tactics, that would help separate good players versus DPS stack speedrunners.
Your first argument is soo wrong because playing full zerk doesn’t mean that you “only” have to dodge, you also need to be VERY VERY coordinate and clear conditions… Maybe you should try it one day to see that dodging is not enough.
You second argument is completely out of scope because I’m talking about FoTM and you almost don’t skip anything in FoTM.
Could we have a dev opinion about this maybe?
So you want a DPS contest to feed your internets boss syndrome?
What do you mean by “internets boss syndrome”?
For me, there are 3 totally different segments in this game in which one can be considered “good” :
- Dungeons/FoTM : pvE endgame
- PvP
- Leading in WvW (Roaming, dueling or following the commander is similar to playing PvP but leading is way different and way harder)
You need to practice a lot to become good in one of these 3 segments and if you become good in one of the 3 in general you are not so good in the other 2 (I said in general, I know that there are superheroes out there who can be good in everything but that’s not the majority of players).
When I say “good” I mean reaaaally good. Being able to do FoTM 50 on a daily basis doesn’t mean anything. You could very well play warrior with full PVT armor and longbow/rifle as weapons and still finish FoTM 50 every day (it would take you a very long time but it’s feasible). I’m not going to define what “good” means to me because it’s not the point of this post.
Speaking of point, I’m getting to it don’t worry : Every PvP player knows who are the best PvP players and every WvW player knows who are the best commanders in WvW (in their server at least) but my point is : most of hardcore PvE players are unknown by the other PvE players.
Some of them are known because they post tons of videos on youtube and reddit but I’m sure that there are other very good PvE players that we don’t hear about because they don’t want to record themselves playing (and I understand them).
I know that ANet talked about a leaderboard for FoTM but it would only show who reached the lvl 50 of FoTM first, which wouldn’t mean anything except that they played all day long for 2 or 3 days after the update.
So what could ANet do in order to change this? Well the idea came to me when I saw the advertisement for The Tournament of Legends. Very good thing ANet by the way. I’m happy for the PvP community.
But why not organizing a tournament for PvE players? it would be very easy actually. It could for instance consist in finishing a FoTM 50 predetermined (I’ll explain what I mean by “predetermined”) in the minimum amount of time. When I say “predetermined” I mean that each team would have the exact same run. For example :
- 1st fractal : Water
- 2nd fractal : Colossus
- 3rd fractal : Dredge
- Boss : May Trin
I’m sure that devs can do that and it would only be right. I mean why would fame be reserved to the WvW community and the PvP community?
Please don’t talk to me about Achievement points, this is bullkitten and everybody knows it.
Tell me what you think about this.
Sorry if I made mistakes I’m not english.
Do you realize that you need 141 257 000 points to get that finisher?
The game has been released 469 days ago (467 days before this post was made). That means that you would have a mean of 302 477,5 points per day (302 477,5 points everyday since the game exists) or 12603,2 points per hour (and 11208 hours played)…
Good luck with that ! The first dragon rank is not for the close future I think !
