Taking a little break

Only quitters and baddies take breaks. GS conquered a castle tonight with the odds stacked against them.

“Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood.” -Patton

Truly great feat of strength tonight Gun Squad.

So nearly a year ago Anet “balanced” SPVP by changing Stability to a stack duration that can be removed each time you’re hit with an ability that Stability normally negates, but you do this to the ENTIRE game, all game modes. Making WvW a nightmare for smaller groups I might add.

Yet, it’s been clear that you have the capability to change things for SPvP only, like the effects of a sigil(Energy for instance) solely for SPvP….

World vs World Holiday Sneak Peek

Unless the original borderland comes back, WvWvW will remain to be half-dead. And the more time goes with the new borderland forced upon the players, the old players might never make a come back. Thus this forcing of the new map is one of the key reasons which is killing the game mode. This is way too little, way too late. Period.

- Amen to that. Alpine maps NEED to be reinstated. They weren’t perfect, but as it stands the new replacement maps are a 100% downgrade from what WvW needed. It was like Anet took the advice from a casual EOTM player that thinks they know what WvW needs because they don’t know any better.

“Players will also no longer be able to revive defeated players while in combat.”

Been waiting 3 years for this, finally!

Why exactly?

The rally change is interesting and makes blob busting more feasible.
The res in combat change is debatable, while to some it might seems like unfavorable for smaller zerg but to some it is unfavorable to bigger zerg. A bigger zerg will always have a higher chance of ressing a dead than a smaller zerg so I believe it affect the bigger zerg more than the smaller zerg.

I agree, all the larger zerg needs to do is continue to pin snipe the smaller zergs driver like they already do and we’ll have to retreat until he runs back since we can’t hard rez anymore. This is a moronic change by Anet imo.

In my opinion, nerfing 5 rally to 1 rally is pointless. If I can only get 1 rally off you might as well disable rally altogether. That’s such a HUGGGEEEE nerf considering as a commander you’re in the frontline and you’re going to need the support of the rest of your group composition to down and break enemy lines while you barrage through. Those multiple rallies are important for commanders to tag, bag, and rally off of if he gets downed.

It remains to be seen so I wouldn’t go full negative yet. But my guess is this is going to hurt one group of players for the most part and that’s large blobs. If that’s how you play then I have no sympathy for you. That type of fighting style needs to die and this, hopefully, is one step forward in that direction. Running map pins was fun years ago but it’s a different game now and a lot of 20-30man guilds like WvW but get sick of the enemy commander showing up with 70-80 talent-less peons to spam auto attack on them. Much Skill Many Wows. You could say, “then run larger numbers”. No we refuse to blob, it’s not fun for us, we like a realistic challenge and today 25vs 80 isn’t realistic(25vs50 is about the max). The next option if this isn’t changed is we stop playing and there goes a very large portion of Anets WvW player-base.

The majority of the commanders she interviews (despite their assurances otherwise if you talk to any of them) prefer to run in groups of 25+ people. That’s not the wvw a lot of us enjoy. That’s not the wvw a lot of us outside of t1 and 2 can do.

Couple points.
T1/T2 NA outnumber pretty much any other tier group combined. If you’re going to get your info on how to fix WvW that’s where you ask. I do agree it wouldn’t hurt to collect info from lower tiers and other timezones to kind of find a balance and see where things differ.

25-30 vs 25-30(even numbers scenario)is many peoples sweet spot for fights in WvW. Any more than that and it gets laggy. WvW is meant for large scale fights, it’s not designed around small roaming groups taking camps, occasional towers and the off peak hour Keep or SM. That said, I don’t condone 80man blobs running on the same pin just spamming auto attack on any enemy they see. It’s pathetic and lacks all skill. We need to be able to have large fights but we also need to be able to punish the baddies that run these map blobs.

I’m torn between this.

I think this is going to further promote the “what we lack in skill we make up for in numbers” map pin blob mentality that’s plaguing some of the T1 and T2 servers atm.

atm? atm? It’s been like that for years. Whether people blob has nothing to do with ppk or ppt.

I thought it was obvious but the reason I phrased it like that is because not even a year ago a guild group of 25-30 could have wiped an 80 man map blob. With today’s elite specs, revenant, the STUPID stab change from last year, damage increases, and even player awareness it’s nearly impossible for a medium guild to take on that many people unless you go to EOTM where everyone is PVEing/Pretend PVPing. These large groups run a very small melee train and the rest is just backline bombardiers that surround you then wipe you. Maybe the new rally mechanic will help out a bit but that’s to be seen.

I worry that some lottery item (like a pre-cur) will drop while testing the rev so I really can’t be bothered playing it. It’s kinda cruel mixing the test up with the live game and not letting you keep the loots/karma/exp gained while playing. It’s unrewarding. Maybe it’s just me.

Well said…and agreed.

Do us gamers a favor and you two never go to any betas in the future…for any game. Too many people like you think beta’s are early access and don’t use them for what they’re for. TESTING and reporting bugs.

You don’t wanna play a beta because you’re scared some loot will drop that you wont be able to keep? My heart weeps for you.

Thanks SoR for all the fights today in Eternal Battlegrounds! It was an awesome 3-way fight for SMC (although Maguuma was a non-factor) and the Zombie Coast I’m happy to say claimed victory! You guys put up a good effort today against us. We purposely hunted you down the whole time since you let the Maggie Bears get everything T3/no resistance, pick on the Maggie Bears more ya know? Anyhow, I had a great time commanding the TC zerg against you hopefully another day later this week we will have a rematch, until then…

What an epic day in history for you Chuu! Now tell us about during reset when [Choo] was wiping [CERN] zerg over and over with 5:1 ratio! You remember right? SoRBL? meh, whatever tho.. if you still don’t remember I’m sure Nightlight does.

Lulz. We were wiping Choo at least while I was online. Regardless, pretty boring reset night. TC is getting used to the 2v1s but come on, man up.

Were you only on for 30 minutes after reset?

lots of effort took all evening

Don’t get me wrong, its great to see guilds like Ark, Cern and Pyro come out to fight, its a breath of fresh air after fighting the turtle zergs on BG. But don’t don’t wipe then qq on the forums and post BS SS’s that of us 30-60 minutes after the fact.

no

Yeah….

We wiped you at south bay, not north east..with a lot less than that, along with a TC zerg. This is the zerg we pulled together after the pug commander DC’d, probably 30 minutes later.

You seemed to put in a lot of effort to make this though, so I’ll just give you gold star and a smile and hope you forget about it by morning.

A lot less than that is definitely 25 + 15 or more pugs. We peaked at like 16 all night, iirc.

It was 25 total about 19 Choo..if you had 16 people would would you push into us and then proceed to QQ about wiping via whispers and forums? Confused.

Either way, see you on the battlefield. GL and have fun!

We have most of reset recorded.

If that’s the way you recall it I’m sure we can help you remember that VR and Pyro were together 99% of the night.

You must be talking about my guild. It’s ok you can ask me why. I ran because I only had 5 to 6 guild members on my tag the rest militia. I consider Choo really good and with what I had on my tag I couldn’t fight you. I couldn’t get a lot of my guys on the map last night because we had multiple guilds on the map. KnT & ZN had more than me on the map so I relied on them to fight you. I could tell by the way you guys were lurking you were looking for a fight and I tried to give you one a bunch of times.

I think he was talking about the entire BG BL since reset. It’s been rather stale in open field. The only big “are we gonna make it” fights happen in your T3 keeps we’re breaking into. Which are very fun fights, don’t get me wrong, but after that it gets rather boring due to tower/keep turtles and waypointing out instead of turning to fight.

Not directly pointing the finger at ONS. We could tell that KNT and ZN had more numbers than ONS last night.

I understand how that could get boring. Still though, if I’m running from a battle there’s generally a very good reason because I rather fight 90% of the time.

I assure you, OnS loves their fights. Me personally, it is the only reason I play WvW as the ppt game gets old, even during leagues. BG BL has been very militia heavy on our side the past week and a half, and it has been frustrating at times to say the least. Respect to Choo for coming out and fighting hard despite the score, we definitely notice you guys out every night. As Malevolent said, we never more than maybe 10 OnS and always 2-3 of them were scouting Towers/Garri etc. We did out best to give you some fights last night as it was apparent when you guys were running circles outside our garrison and we regrouped with KnT and ZN + any militia we had and gave you a fight.

Hopefully you understand why we port out now when you catch one of us open field with only maybe 10-12 and we port out to a 35-40 strong Choo army, I think you would do the same. We and hope to give you guys some great fights in the future.

Again, not once did I point at ONS, plz stop taking it personal. ONS and KNT are good fights. Yes, I would run or port out if I only had 10-12 on me and I ran into a 35-40 ONS/KNT.

I’m not talking about those scenarios. I’m talking about the ones were we run over a hill, see a big BG zerg that could be a good fight and watch them waypoint out. Again, not pointing at any guild and not talking about when it was just 10-12 BG.

So that now that BG and SOR have shown that they have zero honor or sportsmanship what’s first place really mean? GG E-Games lol right. I was fine with the 2-1 at start because it was pretty balanced overall after the weekend, this is certainly a completely different thing. Either way we’ve been in tougher places before during our time in T-1 since release.

Were you stuck in queue for 90% of the NA matchup thus far?

2-1 went way further than “over the weekend”.

Hey mates, cant play gw2 because of work and crap. Got A few questions

1)Are the ques still bad 24/7 ?
2)Will it get better in the next few days?
3)Do the JQ,BG and SoR fights feel fair and balanced
4)whats all this complain about pve players taking wvw slots? will be short lived?
-Fuzz

1) Always a queue..time in queue varies from 10-40 mins.
2) No
3) When its not not 2v1 SoR seems to come out on top a little more than BG(just a little from my experience) and JQ feels like they lost a few steps.
4. PVE players wants the new WvW achievements and the 15 achievement chest.

WvW Warrior Zerg Build

in Warrior

Posted by: Slomoshun.6317

Slomoshun.6317

-You’re using the GS without actually having any GS traits.
-You went 20 into Tactics and got 2 pretty worthless traits for zerging.
-Leg specialist only works on one target now and Shrug it off isn’t needed in a zerg since
there will be buku cleansing.
-Pick up Empowered if you’re selfish or Empowered Allies if you’re not and Quick Breathing.
-Lose the GS and pick up a Sword/WH or even a Sword/Axe if you feel like being selfish. The WH is a good blast finisher with a short CD so that is why most warriors choose it over a dmg dealing offhand.
-Signet of stamina isn’t very popular, I would go Signet of the Dolyak, Zerker Stance and Endure Pain. I rarely go down with that setup. You’re using Melandru Runes so most condies will fall off of you fast so there isn’t really a need for a condi cleanse utility. With your WH able to remove a condi with each ability and your Melandru Runes and zerker stance you shouldn’t have an issue.

Good build for WvW Warrior Zerg?

in Warrior

Posted by: Slomoshun.6317

Slomoshun.6317

Slomoshun I was just curious on the standard shout heal build is that full pvt armor with soldier runes, also trinkets full pvt, also with soldier weapons and what sigils?

You don’t need to go full PVT armor unless you’re commanding and you need to be the last alive. I would run Zerker Armor, Soldier Runes, and Cavalier Trinkets/Weapons. If you want to be a little more tanky you could run Knights Armor with a mix of Cavalier/Zerker Trinkets/Weapons.

Hammer – Sigil of Fire
Sword – Sigil of Energy
Warhorn – Sigil of Hydromancy or even a stacking Sigil like Bloodlust.

This way you’re supporting and able to dish out some dmg with the high crit dmg rating.

Why warhorn though?

Number 4:
Speed Buff
Cripple Cleanse

Number 5:
Blast Finisher
Enemy Weakness.

Using the WH over any other OH is the least selfish way so that’s why most warriors us it for zerg fighting. Blasting that water field easily with number 5 is very helpful.

Remember, a warrior running SW/WH + Hammer isn’t mean to do dmg with his/her SW and WH. The hammer is your main source of dmg. Swapping over to your SW/WH mid battle is just mean for blasting and a quick AOE on the enemy if you’re running that type of sigil plus SW F1 Skill can catch some people with it’s immobilize.

Don’t forget 0/0/20/20/30.

Still good damage and good support with increased power to allies and shorter CD on your Warhorn for speed and blast finishers.

Also Karlus didn’t mention weapons. All 3 of these builds are based around Hammer + SW/WH.

- Signet mastery can be swapped with Warrior Sprint if not using Healing Signet and Dolyak Signet.
- Every zerg warrior should be using Battle Standard as their elite.

Slomoshun.6317

So, how do you FA guys feel about Novus? Must suck to cheat and still lose.

In what way exactly are we losing, im confused ( if you say score im going to assume your a fairweather carebear)
We held the most blood lust buffs in NA today, and we took your TCBL hills, so…

You’re not in first. That is exactly what way you’re losing.

Of course were not in first, why would we be in first, we dont have the 24/7 time coverage you guys have. Everytime we face a tier 1 server or TC, I go to bed knowing we losing everything we have way pointed and fortified while we sleep. Doesn’t bother me one bit, its just a plain fact when we face you or any tier 1 server. After NA goes to bed TC ppt rises from about 200-250 to about 400-450+ most of the morning for about 8-12 hours. I’m sure you opposite timeszones are bored of fighting just 2-3 of our oceanic/AU guilds. Most of the time they take everything with no resistance. I stayed up Monday morning and surveyed all 4 borderlands. FA had outman buff in all 4 BL’s even our own, between 0100 PST – 1200 PST with TC almost hitting 500 PPT. So we have no coverage for half a day. So thats why your score doubles ours.

Funny though when you guys get matched up with tier 1 you guys lose because you get a taste of your own medicine. Last matchup with FA vs BG vs JQ, BG and JQ had horrid militia with the exception of a few guilds. But their massive number superiority 24/7 is what keeps them in tier 1.

Did you miss the first grade when all the kids said “Second place is the first LOSER?”

I mean, “dude” comes out saying “in what way are we losing exactly”

I provided a very good example I thought.

Stun Warriors in WvW

Posted by: Slomoshun.6317

Slomoshun.6317

my point was you are building yourself passively immune or very greatly reduced to most conditions in wvw – and use that as an argument pro stun warriors – you cant do this with control effects, you also cant stunbreak every 5 seconds! there is only stability which most classes lack sorely and stun breaks are on a huge cooldown in general while a stun warrior can put out 3-4 second stuns every 5 seconds only limited by his adrenaline gain without even counting his other hard CCs while being super tanky and critting like a basterd thanks to that 10 points trait? whats balanced about it? and i dont even know why you insist on being a bad player and yet advising other players to l2p, dont you see those things dont go together very well?

Lets see here…A melee class in WvW with lots of stun breakers or a ranged class in WvW with lots of stun breakers..which one makes more sense to you?

Warriors, Guards and even some necro’s are the frontliners of WvW. It makes perfect sense for them to have more stun breakers since they are usually the first in the middle of a fight and stay there longer.

Anet doesn’t give 2 puppies if you can’t solo a class with every single possible spec and gear type you use. I run 2 builds for WvW. Zerg Hammer + SW/WH and a fun roaming build with lots of stuns and confusion. I don’t win every 1v1 roaming fight and I know I’ve been beaten by every class(except rangers lawl), and maybe warriors since I know the class well, at least once.

Maybe you should learn some other play styles and learn your class better before complaining. Bet half of you run zerker builds and wonder why you flop over like a dead fish.

The fact that this page went on for 84..no 85 posts now is mind boggling. Read my other post on this page be done with it.

Are ridiculous. I see about 50% of roamers are stun warriors. One stun on my elementalist and I get downed. Please make stuns condi cleansed or nerf the crit chance on stun warriors have.

1. Don’t roam and expect not to find an enemy running a roaming build.
2. Gw2 isn’t balanced around 1v1.
3. You’re an ele, you have the tools to win the fight, you just chose not to equip them.

PS: Are you from TC? If you are, are you one of the ele’s I beat 2v1 on my warrior yesterday? Happy Trails!

How is this fair?

How can people still be this uninformed on classes?

Ele’s mobility was nerfed because Ele can bunker.
Bunker+Mobility = no. Infact Guards/Necros have poor mobility too.

Warriors cannot bunker in the slightest, just like Thieves, so they rely on speed.
If they nerf War’s mobility, then War should be able to bunker.
And believe me you’d hate that a lot more than a runaway Warrior.

They’re probably one of the best bunkers in the game atm…

No protection, no regen unless you engage on their essentially stationary banner, using burst skills to cleanse conditions is blocked by blind and removes adrenal health when successful, successful bunker build highly vulnerable to poison or burst power pressure.

No regen? Healing signet is around 400+ a tick, DM procs regen for 3 seconds every 10 seconds. No protection sure, but you are still rocking 25-30k HP’s, 2200+toughness and 3500 armour. On top of this you have 2 endure pains, 1 as a skill slot and 1 at 25% health(traited) and you have a Dolyak signet to slot to increase toughness. You can slot the shield for 3 seconds of blocking(in addition to your 8 seconds worth of endure pain).

How are you vulnerable to poison? Melandru, Lemongrass, DM is 98% condition duration reduction.

You basically just described a WvW PVT bunker build with a shield. I’m sorry but if someone can’t beat a bunker warrior 1v1 then they have issues. Unless that warrior is running GS + SW/WH to get away from hairy situations nobody should have issues killing someone built like you described.

On my WvW CC/DMG build I have no Vitality on my gear and I’m at 20k since the recent HP nerf. I’ve seen Necro’s with more HP than that.

I also don’t get how a 1v1 QQ thread gets to the third page when you should all know that this game is not built around 1v1’s. These scenarios are very situational and could be solved with better planning or leaving and trying to find a better fight. Someone that is going to just run around the map and not fight isn’t worth the time anyway.

The actual warrior play was rather cringe worthy….burning CCs on stability, swinging at air, instantly using Rip without letting torment stack….

And pretty much every fight was either sneaking up on someone or interrupting someone else’s fight

Ive used perplexity builds before, but since they don’t add too much in terms on team-fight potential (more 1v1) it gets boring pretty quick.

a normal perplexity based trait builds looks something like 20/10/25/0/15, not sure how many modifications you made.

I have gold to blow and a terrible match up where both enemy servers simply don’t have the numbers or coordination to get good field fights. So I was thinking of playing with this build while roaming don’t care if its going to get nerfed soon. I have a full set of Carrion in the bank just sitting there.

My question is what stats are best for this? Carrion? And do you use it on all pieces, armor/weapons and trinkets?

That was beautiul. The moment I saw the mace I sighed, and thought it was going to be the silly soon-to-be-nerfed Skullrack > 100 blades build, that was lovely to watch.

How are you getting so many stacks of confusion on your interrupts. Obviously distracting strikes, but I’ve never used that skill and I thought it was only 4 stacks of confusion, you seem to be giving 9 stacks? (I’m watching this in work so can’t maximise my screen but it looks like 9, I’m sure I saw 18 stacks on the guardian).

Also, please share share share your build, so far I can only assume something like this;

I’m guessed some carrion gear and some apothecary (Shaman on the website because it’s PvP jewels) because I noticed you were ticking for slightly more with the healing signet.

Come on, share this build with your warrior brothers

Probably close to his build, but he’s not using Vigorous Focus. (20pts in Disc)

Speaking of which, you’re pretty classy NS. Thanks for keeping the fights in the open and not just going for the caps and stuff.

This is something I’ve seen lacking against SoS and EB. Even when numbers are even or you guys have a clear numbers advantage there’s too much turtling. Running in keeps/towers and building defensive siege. Not enough open field imo, which made this week super boring.

What does berserker’s stance do?

in Warrior

Posted by: Slomoshun.6317

Slomoshun.6317

Honestly the only time I’ve seen a real use for zerker stance is wvw roaming and switching to it if I see a necro/mesmer and dueling in spvp.

If you’re a wvw and you like to zerg then its not that great since you can get a static -90% condi duration with melandru/dogged march and food. Plus having stability over a short condi immunity is better imo. Can’t attack when you’re on your butt.

uhhhh…what’s going on here?

What I find more interesting is someone in your BL thinks DB is about to go to bed..at 430 eastern..

As for your concern, I’m guessing you have a thief in your keep and that is his Sigil of Fire from his Short-Bow. Check up top.

If it makes EB and SoS feel any better. The point lead we get after this matchup will most likely result in us getting the same hammered by a t2 and a t1 server next week.

Good luck, don’t give up like DB does when we’re losing. Field fights are still fun if you get sick of punching gates.

If by slew, you mean you zerged them down like a bunch of T1 wannabes, yes. That is what happened.

You should probably stop defending AGG all together. They’re probably going to be off your server in another week or 2 and you’ll feel the same way we do towards them.

This will be their 5th or 6th server hop in 3 months.

Also every time we stopped and stacked last night before we engaged into a battle we had no more than 35 on a pin. 35 maybe 40 going against 25-30 AGG and another 35+ mixed Pyro/Derp/VR zerg.

But hey, enough member measuring, lets do it again tonight. It was a blast.

99% of the Mag roamers I see are thieves or mesmers. I see you guys are all about the challenge.

that was about ot be a nice fight on DBBL’s bay at inner right there — kitten new build!!

Nice fight? There was at least 40 of you and about 12 of us trying to defend.

If you broke through the last thing that would be going through anyone’s mind would be “Nice Fight”.

Lucky for us you guys didn’t clear cannons and we held out long enough for the build to kick us.
