Guild Wars 2

I can’t believe you’re talking about solo queue… yet you don’t mention bleephammer.

Skyhammer still needs to be removed from solo queue, 3 months later. We’re not complacent, Anet. It’s a non-competitive map.

Back when Adventure Box was open, I farmed Tribulation mode for the reward tokens, but I held off on buying the Weapon Designs because I did not yet know what I wanted. Now, I can no longer buy the Weapon Designs to use my reward tokens.

I know for a fact that I could still buy them for weeks after SAB ended; I bought a dagger and a pistol design for my thief after SAB. A recent update must have changed that. It feels a bit unfair because this change was not announced in advance. Is there any chance that the Moto’s fundraising vendor can be reinstated? I’m not asking for SAB to be reopened yet, I’m just asking for the vendor so I can craft my reward tokens.

Thief auto attack for half a second. Interrupted. All you need to do is hit him four times.

Off hand axe can be a source of DPS if you main hand sword in PvP, and you aren’t running a condition build. Besides that, it’s terrible.

You can press weapon swap to instantly drop your banner without using Plant Standard. Also, skills 1, 3, and 4 are generally useless in combat. I’m asking if it’s worth the time spent picking up a banner and using the blast finisher 5 into a fire field for the 3 might, even though it takes 1-2 seconds.

In PVE, I pick up a Banner of Discipline whenever I’m using it with a longbow, and then I use skill 2 and 5 to grant 8s of party fury and 20s of party 3-might. I’m not sure whether this is worth the direct loss of DPS from the time spent doing those. I never do it with other banners besides Discipline because their special skills aren’t really worth using.

Should I be using Plant Standard with other banners for the 3 might alone? How many party members need to be affected for it to be worth doing? I’ve never tried it in PvP; is it viable there? Will coordinated parties benefit more from it because of better stacking, or less because there is already constant 25 might?

I was thinking something like the PvP material forging. You can change 25 Arcane Orbs into 10 Arcane Crystals, 25 Crystals into 10 Slivers, or 25 Slivers into 10 Orbs. Even 5:1 or 10:1 would be awesome though just to clear out my bank.

Please let us turn Bloodstone Dust -> Empyreal Fragments -> Dragonite Ore -> Bloodstone Dust in the Mystic Forge. This gives it a use instead of just letting it rot away in the bank. Also, depending on the other ingredients and methods of ingredient acquisition, you could also turn this into an always-needed gold sink.

Everywhere, I see people complaining about AFKers and dead people “because Tequatl scales.” Realistically, they have no way of knowing this or figuring it out. Does Teq actually scale or is it always maximum power all the time?

…has literally nothing to do with “crowds.” It’s quite literally analogous to calling Heartseeker a “multi-target burst” attack. Stop using outdated, inaccurate terminology.

The problem with WvW is that I have to find people to group with to have any fun + success. I don’t have to do that with sPvP (I can just join a random team there). I find joining a zerg to be completely uninteresting farming.

60 seconds times two for retraiting back to a PvE build, then also being forced to memorize two trait setups or more, as well as being forced to waypoint to a retrainer and pay 7 silver.

It prevents me from just popping in and out of WvW without a significant investment.

The hassle of completely reworking my traits every time I want to play real WvW instead of PvE completely kills all motivation for me. Please fix this so that we can have a WvW trait build and a PvE trait build preset.

Notes are unreleased because they are unfinished. Also, learn to use paragraphs.

Tribulation cloud is not the same thing as infantile cloud.

Queen’s Jubilee and Clockwork Chaos both had achievements in the Daily section that counted for the reward chest. Why doesn’t SAB: Back to School have those? Did Anet just decide to scrap the whole idea?

Or… turn off the NPC chat tab and learn New Krytan!

How bad are you at the game that you need to use more than 9 extra hearts before the next shop, Ryu?

Also make a separate version with a flail that stunlocks foes. And one with a big purple glove.

25 isn’t fine when it’s a downgrade from the original. We’re not complaining about the raw cost, we’re complaining that it’s worse than not having it at all.

What happens to conditions on a pet when the pet is switched out?

The wizard will start to charge you after you hit him when he is below 50% health. Many people have complained that they cannot avoid it. This is untrue. Here is how to avoid it.

Assume that the wizard is standing at 12 o’clock on the arena face when he shoots his bolts. Stand at either 3 o’clock or 9 o’clock while deflecting his bolt. After he is hit, run along the edge of the arena away from the wizard when he charges. You should be able to avoid the first three charges completely while doing this. When the wizard charges the fourth time, evade toward the center to dodge it. Repeat.

Done. No damage taken. For the first phase, at least.

Rewards obtained from PvP reward chests should not have that annoying confirmation on salvage. They are nearly worthless and easily replaceable if accidentally salvaged. I want to use my dozens of reward chests to make unidentified dyes, but it would be too annoying just to salvage everything.

Ranks determine what COOLIO AWESUM ANIMASHUN you get when you type /rank.

Why? Limiting a sPvP guild to a server is useless. The Mists are not server-restricted.

Hi, I am looking for an sPvP-focused guild to rep while I am in the Mists. I would like a guild that regularly makes teams for tPvP. I already have a guild I rep and do missions with while in PvE, so I would like to rep your guild when I am in sPvP only.

I am Dolyak rank 26 currently, with Champion Legionnaire. On the leaderboards, I am #376 in solo queue and 88% in team queue at the time of posting (#376 may be somewhat inflated because of early wins). I play sPvP on and off, averaging several hours a week (though this is highly variable).

I am on Blackgate if that matters, though I would like a cross-server sPvP guild because of the larger potential set of players.

What is LB?
What is MM?

I agree. At the very least, they could allow different presets for WvW and PvE.

Currently, a target is selected only when the left mouse button is released. This makes it incredibly difficult to target a moving character using the cursor. This added difficulty is especially relevant in PvP situations, where every wasted click can mean the difference between victory and defeat, and where targets are almost constantly on the move.

Furthermore, in these situations where selecting the correct target is vital, there are usually numerous minions, clones, or other targets preventing the “nearest target” and “next target” hotkeys from being effective. To solve this problem, I propose a simple option.

There should be a checkbox in the options menu: “Select target on downclick.” This would make fights depend more on how fast people can kitten the situation, rather than how fast they can let go of the mouse button.

Because the left mouse button is otherwise used only for temporary camera rotation, selecting this option would have very few negative consequences. Moreover, anybody who still found this setting to be harder to use could simply uncheck the checkbox. I ask one question: Why is this option not already in the game?

Here is the link to the build I am using for solo queue tPvP right now:

I am using Staff + Sword/Torch, focusing on disorienting the enemy with stealth + clones, and shattering as much as possible. My utilities are all set up for this purpose.

My equipment is set up to give me a buffer against conditions, which I only have one way to remove (domination IX trait, torch skills charge 20% faster and remove a condition). Knight’s Amulet helps me proc crits while giving me vitality to mitigate conditions, and Rune of Melandru helps further mitigate conditions.

My traits are mostly set up to do as much damage as possible with clones and shatters. I have 20 in Domination to improve my Torch skills and to increase damage. I have 20 in Dueling for Deceptive Evasion and heavy clone creation. I have 30 in Illusions for the great minor traits and Illusionary Persona to further enhance my shatters.

What can I change to improve/optimize this build?

I see a lot of warriors use Endure Pain in sPvP and WvW, but I still have no idea if it’s worth a utility slot. Whenever I try using it, I find it to be extremely underwhelming. Sure, it breaks stun and prevents direct damage, but it has a high cooldown (60s), a short duration (4-5s), doesn’t grant stability, and does nothing against conditions. Even if I’m running a stance build, I still prefer to use Dolyak Signet or Fear Me.

Is there a specific way to use Endure Pain that I’m just missing? What makes so many people use it?
