Man, this stuff looks great! It’s just so beautiful. Keep up the good work on the art
Red is dead.. That simple. I blow up duels all the time. There are 1v1 pvp lobby they can go to.
WvW is NOT where you go to duel. If myself or any of my guild see you, we run you over.. That simple..
That said, we do not go digging into the nooks and crannies of the borderlands looking for you.. So if you pick a corner off the beaten path, go for it.
no no no.. we do not NEED heartseeker targeting on staff 2..
LESS stats.. Warhammer Online had tons of stats and players just think high numbers equal how well you played.
You can dump a ton of dPS out into a bunker toon and it means nothing if you did not move him off point and wasted your time doing squat.. Less stats are always better in games like this.. The more players will never do anything but stare at a spreadsheet
And tell you what.. when I blink and that kitten ranger can not rapid fire my kitten , I am sure happy.. As others said, only matter with MI and not that big a deal OP….
PvE is really easy in this game. That said, it is easier with a ranger. folks go to the easiest path..
Confirmed. SEeing same thing also
you run burn or medi guard.. marauder amulet … you do not need a video.. medi is simple and works well
IF you get the map, just log out.. My team will do this all the time and the hope is ANet can grasp how much hate this map has..
Does not matter if we can win easy, the concept of the deathmatch is NOT something the pvp community wants.. And for the folks that say they do, you are wrong.. There is a reason this is removed from ranked pvp.. It is horrible and needs to be replaced.
Traveler then.. gives you speed and will work with pretty much any pve builds you want.
It is quality of life runes for folks that like to jut pve
PvP matches. We will go link dead about 3/4 of the time when the match is about half way over.. Only getting this in PvP.. Happens when grouped or solo in both ranked and hotjoin games..
I can not wait for the d/d nerf that is coming.. And Anet will be very, very heavy handed as is their norm..
d/d has is coming and rightly so..
lol WORSE build ever OP.. come on man. stop trolling
WE screamed against Stronghold when it was tested last time. Why put this lousy PvE map in our pvp? Honestly, your player base already said NO and you just ignore them, waste your time and resources and give us a map that clearly we do not want.
Menaka, Thank you..
Love our mesmer community.. So helpful and friendly
Sorry but I am semi casual so do not play a ton. I was using the one ability to cure conditions on heal (15 sec refresh).. Worked ok.
But after today, what is the best way to at least have some condition clearing? Would it be running the mantra? I just liked the old way where I could couple a heal with the clear, but I admit being a little overwhelmed with the changes.
I play some PvP also so I know having some condition clearing will be important.
Thank you all
Overall I just do not want ANY pve in my pvp. I am ok with different maps, but in the end if I have to fight npc’s I have zero interest.
There are 300+ hearts and a whole other game mode for that. Give me players to fight.. Heck add more siege or whatever but make it about PvP, and throw ALL the pve out the window.
I got 4.3 million karma.. does squat…
New wilderness survival will handle conditions pretty nicely, with newly buffed Troll Ungeant, entangle, and lightning reflexes. Healing Spring is not the only option against condition anymore.
Expansion, at best, is months away. So you are really not offering the OP anything viable for him now. And you are assuming nothing changes in the beta, which we know won’t happen.
pve only,, confirmed. so no biggie. you can pve with a noodle
I love this game. but this is very op’ed.. I understand, stress test, beta and all that. That said, we should provide feedback.
The timers are too short.. Blast finisher, lifesteal fields etc etc. Just way too op’ed of a class. Anet has to know this and there will be nerfs Which is a bad term being beta but if let us play and tone it down, we scream nerf..
Few folks in map keep saying how we have not seen what other classes get, but IF they match it , then everyone is op’ed.. Just silly..
I know, this was in EOTM but I run her in WvW a bunch also. Very zerg friendly. AOE unload is just tons of bags. Good crit chance, amazing healing and fun. which is all that matters to me.
Don’t spam 1 and disable auto attack. You don’t have to press 1111111111 repeatedly as fast as possible to succeed.
Press it once, stop. Repeat. When the situation is right, go for the full attack chain.
It’s not a broken weapon it’s just difficult to use. Thief sword isn’t much different. Have you ever tried teleporting with that thing? It looks a lot easier than it is.
Spoken like a true PvP guy who doesn’t have mobs’ attacks hitting him for 7k+ damage.
The sword needs to work so dodge and serpent strike/stalker strike can be activated mid animation.
pve is only 1/3 of the game.. sword works fine in 2/3. There is no need to change sword. PvE is so easy, you can use any weapon and do fine.
spiders.. for WvW they mostly stay out of aoe range, hit pretty hard and have great abilities.
You know some people actually enjoy leveling characters, right?
All while missing out on the new expansion that is for level 80’s. They will all insta level
the rifle would let players become a sniper.
snipers in games are very popular because its a sniper !
enough said
Warrior killshot is already in game and see how many people play that. SAme exact thin
Nobody is going to actually have to level up the new profession if they play normally. Just use all the xp books by that point.
Going to be funny seeing all the insta level 80’s in August..
Accounts flagged for original beta (BWE’s) will be in beta for this. Anyone that created accounts after launch will be in a lottery for invites..
Anet should do nothing. You HAVE an official method to handle all transactions. You know that. You went around their rules and got what you had coming.
It is like a drug dealer getting ripped off by someone coming to buy his drugs and going to the cops to file a complaint..
you learned your lesson (we hope), and move on.
35 views and not one opinion on the matter yet? Ouch lol
You make it clear you do not care about the class.. Why expect anyone to spend time helping you?
Sword for wvw is great. however you need to read up and see all the wonderful tips/tricks about it that is posted the boards.
If you are going to roam, GS won’t help out outside of disengaging. Any half way decent roamer won’t let maul hit.. Which is why you use GS
The warhorn is quite weak in a 1v1, borderline useless. Consider any of the other offhands, which are all outstanding.
Also your con that sword autoattack lacks mobility is not true at all. Lack of dodge, possibly, definitely not lack of mobility since 2 of the 3 skills are leaps.
Ehh not really sold about that. Cond build, sure you use torch no question. Power though, axe 4 can be really nice. 5 is just niche and not that great.. WH is better then axe in many of those spots..
I am a big fan of sw/wh for my melee swap (LB for rest). I am taking for general wvw since pve you can play anything.
I run runes of the pack also. Open with WH4, swap to LB2. .big damage. Hold WH 5 for blast in heal. Swiftness is up 95% of the time (5 sec that is is down)..
Plus sword is fast, solid dps. not flashy big hits like GS2, but I like it. Also the leap on sword 2 can be handy.
All this is in the meta zerk build for ranger..
Whips.. Make them dual wield with heavy CC .. fast, lighter damage, lots of cc stuff on them.. Snares, pulls etc ….
That would be my dream
turn off emotes in chat. I pretty sure anyone with half a clue in WvW has had that off for years.. Zero need for it.
Under 9 months. Anything else would be a PR nightmare for Anet.. Plus that lands right into 3 year launch date
I run SB with axe/torch. Rune runes of the undead, sigil of earth and bursting. cond food and potent crystal.
2/6/6 for traits. I run mostly wvw but works just fine in pve. For pve can move WH in for torch for some speed. also WH4 will give you a ton of crit procs for your bleeds.
Oh yeah, all rabid gear.
I have over 3k armor, about 17k health and 1.7k in condition damage. 60% condition duration.
Zero issues with this build. Run spider and wolf for pets.
Is that I could care less about this living story and stuff. No cares, no worried and really do not get what the deal is about it.
That said, folks don’t care about my pvp and wvw viewpoint.. Well and good. Happy to see people enjoying. Happy that I did not log into seeing all the pve stuff forced onto me..
Each their own, and respect that.. So have fun you pve carebears (/waves)
I LOVE how eotm has been the last month (been literally all three sides). Tons of wvw action. big lack of ktrains. GG, roamers, big zergs etc. I could LESS for anyone that wants to level out there. You got 300+ hearts for that..
I love defending FR keep for example. Tons of bags. The folks that whine about the ktrain, you can move along.
this is wvw zone. folks are treating it like it now, and it welcome
as a guard just gear up for cond cleaning.. plus use the right runes/food. Stuff won’t stick. couple that with watching when you are loading with confusion.. you will be fine
Just a mesmer you missed.. Sure you will claim you 100% know there was no mesmer, but you are only 99% right.
You missed one..
They should make elixir gun like mesmer scepter. Slap some torment on the autoattack.
I have sigil of torment on mine and that works great with EG and my condition build
Hmm last week 3 devs run with Dgins in EOTM. All 3 were able to be hit, die, be rezzed etc. They were in my zerg and nothing funny went on there.
Your pics show conditions on him in first one. AFter that just standing around watching. nothing to show him porting zergs in, etc..
umm yeah please man. you want your auto attack to not have any positional needs AND add torment?
It is fine to say you want to tweak a weapon, but at least be realistic about it.
I’m an advocate of condition damage thieves because it’s simply way more fun for me.
I run about with D/D as my main set and P/P as my off-set..
Why in the world run p/p for ranged condition build?? That is just nuts. You can do p/d and actually USE conditions.. P/P is unload build which nets you nothing with cond build
OP do not follow this advice.
you can run d/d and p/d with conditions and do just fine in all but zerg pve/wvw
I just bought two of them for my kids for xmas as stocking stuffers. They have them at Gamestop here in ny. They were sold in $15 units.
looks like a chocolate chip cookie, puking up a light bulb
