I don’t see any reason to ever go in to EotM. It doesn’t help your server, there is no community, and the map and mechanics are fun-house goofy.

The reason to go into EotM is so that you don’t hurt your server in wvw by just achievement hunting.

Druss.6917:

Right now, sinking time, money, and painstaking effort in upgrading and defending anything is completely pointless. You spend hours upgrading a keep, only for it to fall in less than 3 mins (well, sometimes it can take hour or more, but THAT part of the fight is usually done in the lord’s room and has nothing to do with actual upgrades). Where’s the return for all that time wasted? What incentive do I have to spend all that time and money, when I could just as easily go farm them for bags while they flip the keep, then retake it 5 mins later? Defense event “rewards” are pretty non-existent, yet offense rewards are much much higher. When is the last time you got a loot chest from defending?

IMHO attacking a properly fortified structure should always be harder than defending it. it should require tactics and planning. Not just blobbing up, throwing 2 pieces of siege down, and mowing over the point. While I’m sure the uppity “leet” players will counter-argue this (mainly because they like easy caps, which only proves my point) saying some fights can last well over an hour to cap something, but consider which parts of that fight are you spending that time in? Most always the lord’s room and all that is, is which blob is biggest and who has the most banners to throw down. There’s just no feel of skilled play in wvw anymore and I think the defense-vs-offense issue is one of the things at the heart of it.

Im not going to read any of the other posts in this thread, but, I can already tell that you are just on the wrong server. If you put time and effort into scouting/sieging up a point on blackgate you will get help when its being attacked. I used to be on gate of madness and I would defend a place and get no support, so I came to BG and it is much better over here. Good luck to you.

“BG is going to win coz TC wonna have second place and know well first place is far beyond TC reach. No one need another season to know JQ and BG are 2 best WVW servers. Basically BG and TC currently double team JQ and stay away from each other. Same story was in season 1 with little difference. SOR at list had some ambition to win. TC doesn’t. They agree to be second place from the start. Yaklovers hehe. I am not defending JQ here. Server give up this week by some reason. Maybe ppl just tiered coz it is really hard to fight 2 bloobs all the time. Tho i promise SG will fight to the end:)”

You need to be careful about talking about doubleteams. Last season I remember agg guild from SOR and JQ were both at our inner hills, NOT ATTACKING EACH OTHER. They instead focused on taking down our siege inside hills.

If you ever see BG do something like this, be inside a keep next to another server but not attack them well I guess you would have a beef, but I have never seen anything like that yet.

Peetee.9406:

Blackgate is just better.

They’re a better organized server with more players that are willing to dedicate their time to the cause.

This ^

See, someone on TC who gets it. A lot of BG took time off the weeks before season started to save siege/rework schedules/etc

For example, I changed a few days at work just to stay up late and scout in ebg.

As far as blackgate being buygate that stemmed from season 1 with the zds xfers. Where is zds now though? Not on blackgate.

Where is SoR?

Been out of touch with wvw since Dec 2013 and not seeing them on this list is kinda weird.

They’re still here. Renamed to Tarnished Coast.

lold

thanks man I appreciate it

This is for spvp. I cant find this info anywhere but can someone tell me what the rotation is for d/p thiefs for that initial burst damage? Do I let my heartseeker hit after I use it out of black powder or do I steal while in mid air? With s/p I can hit my pistol whip and immediately steal and it will hit when I get there. Is there anything like that I need to know with dagger pistol? Thanks in advance for the replies guys.

meant to post this in thief section

you forgot sp thief, meditation guard

Evading and or utilizing a stun breaking signet will help you with your sp thief problem.

Norvos.9304:

That was a terrible Thief. That was one of those Thieves who think they don’t have enough tools, dps, escapes, stealth, to be effective. He could have used those blinds to enable him to not be touched while damaging the Warrior. He could have done a million other things. I’m sorry but that was not a good example. Contrary to what you say, even really good Warriors get killed very easy. I’m not just pulling this out of my rear here. They are called Glass cannon Thieves, and if they know how to play and avoid correctly, they will win extremely fast. It’s happened to me, and it’s happened to my victims. This is why we bring one or two thieves in our tournaments. They can move all over the map and disable anyone except Ranger’s with the petting Zoo, or Necro Minion Mancer’s very quickly. They should have more penalties if they go full glass, as in less time in stealth, or diminishing returns on damage the more times they stealth during combat.

Since this debate could go on forever, lets just agree to disagree shall we?

Any real thief knows how good that gameplay in the vid from caed was. You are just another nobody who gets wrecked by thiefs because you don’t know how to play. Anyone here remember when thiefs could stealth stomp from ground to clocktower? You don’t even know what an OP thief looks like.

Hi all, im looking for a good warrior bunker build. Is there an accepted meta build out there wars are using atm in tpvp? Sorry if I missed the thread I cant seem to find it.

okay thanks all

Currently I a running the s/p 10 30 0 0 30 build that utilizes stealing and stuns/immob. I found that comboing Devourer venom and infiltrators strike gives me quite a bit of immobilize on my opponents. I was talking about it in map chat and someone said that I was a liability to my team and only bad players are using devourer venom. He also said that I should be using shadow refuge to res and stomp players since blasting powder/dazes was not good enough.

Am I doing it wrong?

Yep very helpful thx jorun

What is the cookie cutter rotation on sword pistol? Just trying this out after reading this thread.

Complaining about thiefs in wvw after all the nerfs is a joke. You are just bad.

Nice fight at Hills. Was wondering when you guys were gonna get it back. Was that 16 golems?

Epic battle at GOM bay. Good commanders you have DR.

Kamls – Worm

Epic battle at gom bay. Good. Game.

Thanks to edge for the fun at fight club. And to the sf general d/d ely for taking 10k back stabs and still beating me gg

-Kamls worm

The media has been alerted.

Rato I run dagger/dagger wvw. Id much rather kill 200 a night with a few deaths then kill 50 while rarely dying.

GoM FTW

5 arenanets are helping dr zerg wildcreek at the moment. They just got pushed back ;p

Only a few hours to go til the night crew logs in. Hide yo kids.

SLeeeeep time. If worm and ash decice to get jobs and or girlfriends it could get scary at night.

1 doly away from full upgrade. even that annoying last fortify wall upgrade. gg rega ddlg tron etc

Kano we got that wall to 5% before we decided to use Siegrazer. Breakout event saved us maybe 20 minutes. WvW is hard I heard.

Good times at Bay DR. Were still here. Falling asleep at the keyboard as we portal in ;x

gom nightcrew activate

So we cant take lake in dr and dr cant take briar from us in dr… Fair trade off imo.

gg ddlg. Its gonna be a few hours before you get briar from us. And whoever that sf knight with twilight is. I want to have your baby.

-Worm

Ah that’s the one. Thanks kri.

I am looking for a nice thief spvp build. Ive seen a lot of s/d thiefs running around using withdraw as im spectating and it seems to work well. Does anyone have a link to this build I cant seem to find it. Thanks again.

Can someone link me the popular S/D withdraw boon thief build I keep seeing in spvp lately? Thanks)

9 hours later NSP gets greenbriar. Good game. 12 people rushing you under the ground must have been disorienting.

7 hours of holding Briar and 50 come to get it. GG nsp.

This Asura RUSL member needs an assist !

Three of us from Ash and wurm guild upgraded vale, south and Briar in nsp earlier. They kept focusing on briar while kitty took garrison and hills. 5 hours later they are still pushing Briar ;x

Come help we need people to refresh siege !!
