MM Necro is a joke, Turret Engi must be a new player (not just to the class, but to the game lol), the only tPvP viable spec you have listed is a spirit ranger. Also, I have no idea what you have been doing in the past few weeks, but warriors are the rising star of pvp as of late (since half the population has quit their mesmers and elementalists). Try the standard 0/10/30/0/30 hammer/longbow build, watch some vids of better players playing the build (phantaram or teldo both ran it for a few matches) and then tell me that warrior is weak

This sounds intersting. What is the standard 0/10/30/0/30 hammer/longbow build? Do you have more info as to what runes, amulets and such were used? Also, where did you see this?

S/D Thieves are going to dominate PAX.
S/D OP.

I’m going to cry if they’re Jumper specs. His build is just… I mean, I’ve seen worse, but it’s just non optimal. Entirely. It and most other meta builds based on ridiculous biases from both within and without the thief community that have absolutely no objective or factual basis whatsoever.

Well from what I saw S/D Thieves on EU went 10/30/0/30 with S/D+Shortbow. I was about to post that a week ago after talking with Med from Sealclubbers and Lady Nag from Car Crash.

I am having so much fun on DP, hunting down S/D Thieves. Currently waiting for Solo-que Leaderboards.

Though kitten asura.

You don’t happen to have an example of this 10/30/0/30 build? :-o

Yeah I would also like to see this build. The whole intothemists-site seems to be down..

Gehenna.3625:

It’s not ludicrous but it would be a nice addition to have a dungeon finder.

The reason is that there is no world chat and I see people advertising in different areas for the same things. It would be nice to bring them together.

I agree. Since I have limited time playing I don’t have time to stand around waiting for a group. The problem with getting a group together sadly makes me not playing dungeons at all atm. Just another thing on the list of “end game” things I cannot do. It seems other have this problem as well. A dungeon finder would be great!

I’m a casual/“slightly semi-hardcore” player and I really enjoy this game. However there is one thing that is annoying me a lot. Where is the sence of achievement when it comes to loot in this game? Or rather, were is the frikin loot? I know, exotics aren’t very difficult to get but how fun is it to buy the stuff of the TP?
Player x – “Oh wow, what a cool sword. Were did u get it”.
Player y – “It’s a cool story! I went to this dungeon and slayed this epic dra.. Oh wait.. I bought it on the trading post”

That might be easy to get but gives no sense of achievement what so ever. I want to be able to go to this dungen, fight an epic battle and in the end get something so I can feel that I actually got rewarded and achieved something. Now I have to grind a lot of tokens that is needed to get an already decided piece of loot. What happened to fighting a boss and get something for it? The world bosses drops whites sometimes for gods sake! Never have I got an exotic drop except for map completion and never a lvl 80 version. The mods seems to think this is a QQ post but I’m actually suggesting that they bring another loot system which can be used in parallell with the new one. Is it to much to excpect a lvl 75-80 exotic by the end of every dungeon? Max 1 per day or something?

For reference, I have never ever played WoW.

Yeah so my post in this thread was deleted for some reason. Apparently you can’t agree with somone saying that MF is bad.. Nice way to alienate your customer base there Anet. In any case, I’m not going to let the mods push me down so I’m writing a new post just to show that I also think that MF is a horrible mechanic. It basically forces people to use it since acceptable loot doesn’t exist in this game and all other armor stats becomes useless in end game PvE. It would be nice to use the exotics I want to use that works best with my spec. Not to mention if you run a condition build…

Well on our server, Desolation, this was a huge issue during the weekend. It was discussed heavily in map-chat and everybody agreed that this “feature” was destroying WvW. I’m not sure how this was implemented but if this is a bug than that is actually good news. I’m not so sure though, look at the ranger SB nerf for reference…

Can’t be right. I played a lot of WvW this weekend and it was still there. Btw, it’s not a bug. It’s an intended “feature” (which makes it even worse)..

Cayden.4587:

…
WvW was the next big disappointment for me. In addition to imbalances due to player populations the invisible army patch was ridiculous. BTW this didn’t exist when the game came out, I have screenshots of me sitting on top of EH Keep looking down at a fight at Bluelake seeing the whole enemy force outside and the whole friendly force. There was a patch about 1 and a half weeks in that actually added the invisible armies for people with good computers. Granted it the idea was to help people with bad computers but it was a clear choice to screw people who had quality gaming machines to try and pander to people with Bestbuy HP or Dell garbage(that or it was a short sighted patch that’s effects were not thought about). This isn’t how you make quality pvp battles this is how you alienate people who spend money on games.

I totally agree with this. The invisibility patch have destroyed WvW for me. One second you are just running along some buddies and then BLAM! you’re in the middle of the enemy zerg and you couldn’t even see them coming.

WvW.. stopped reading right there.

WvW.. stopped reading right there.LOL @ guardian complaining about inbalanced classes!

LOL.

In before close by rabid moderator.

Clever.7918:

Did the latest patch undo the nerf?

no this patch they fixed the important stuff.

“…
Restored Asuran head sizes to the size selected during character creation.
Fixed a bug with the Asuran character creation head size slider.”

Wait, so you have destroyed the only viable PvP build for the ranger and you’re not going to change it back?! Because of an error nobody except you ever has seen or heard of!? Wow.. This is very disappointing and this build was actually the only reason I was leveling up a ranger. I have wasted 65 levels on this char. Thank god my main is a warrior. Oh wait, I’m not playing him anymore since there’s nothing more to do at 80… Hmm this might be the first evening since launch I don’t play GW2.

Just so you know. There are a lot of books in Durmand priory as well. Down in the library part..

This is what happens when fixes are rushed and not tested. Could also be that the animation team didn’t consult much if at all with the team that actually works on the class balance.

It’s pretty evident that the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing. That’s the only logical explanation as to how warrior has been basically unchanged since beta 2 while every other class is taking it to the chin.

Just compare the ranger longbow with warrior rifle. It’s like they took a class from NCSoft Korea in how to balance pvp.

Just stop it! Throwing lies around won’t help. Neither will bashing the warrior. The warrior was heavily nerfed BWE1-3 and during some stress tests (and then some). Besides the point but I thought it felt balanced already during BWE2, I was playing thief back then. Now stop this QQ about warriors, it’s getting old. Concentrate on the ranger instead!

Still no word from A-net?? kitten it. Time to shelve the ranger then. The list of viable classes is shrinking fast..

hmm really? I cant login.

So did the chance to create bleed decrease or …?

So when did they change this? I didn’t see this change in any patch notes..

So the trait Sharpened Edges has a description which says: “Chance to cause bleeding on critical hits”. Was it always like that? Didn’t it have a percentage before..? :-o

CeCaKonVeu.5734:

the only way to counter a noob guardian is to condition the hell out of him … but if he’s not noob he’s gonna nulify that damage too :p

Yeah… The big problem is retaliation. I got hit with 15K worth of retaliation last night in a 1v2 fight against a guardian. Yeah, we lost.. That’s just silly coming from a passive skill. People claiming Guardians are not OP are probably palying one themselves.

Ari Kagura.9182:

For some weird reason, I can’t see the YouTube video, but I do have a sword that matches that description.

If the glass is green, then it’s a weapon from the Durmond Priory Weapon vendor. Currently, previewing their weapons in the preview window is broken, but all their weapons have a green glass-like element on it. For instance, the shield and mace that Detha uses in Ascalonian Catacombs explorable mode are the same weapons from the Priory vendor.

What armor is that? :-o

Can guradians/mesmers please stop posting BS in this thread! You are destroying our game by denying what everyone knows to be true. Yeah, you know what Im talking about… Just accept that you will be nerfed and this game might be balanced and fun again.

I guess OP is playing memser or guardian.. ^^

I haven’t read through the whole thread but I have to say I agree with OP. This game is not fun atm, it’s only frustrating! Every time I play it ends with me loggin out angry. I played through all BWEs and stress tests and I loved sPVP back then. Now, it’s so unblanced I don’t want to login because I’m afrarid I’m going to start hating the game. It’s so sad because this game has so much potential…

Warriors?? They don’t any more. They are actually almost UP atm. Just roll a mesmer like everyone else. Best burst in the game and light armor. Or was it medium idk.. I do agree that class balance is horrible right now though. I played all stress tests and BWEs and it’s actually worse now than before..

I don’t understand why peopla are opposing the fact that this game is horribly unbalanced. Are you playing mesmer/guardian yourself anda re afraid of the nerf hammer…? Right now SPvP has boiled down to the team with the most Mesmers/Guardians wins. It´s a matchmaking lottery, if you are lucky you end up on the right team.

Right now sPvP is only frustrating and I actually hesitate to even play it.

Yeah but I would get owned without armor and runes, that´s for sure! The game is even more imba than during the BWEs..

Well after plating some more sPvP I have to say that mesmers are really imba. Besides the ridicoulus damage here are some few points that makes this class really frustrating to play against.

1. The call target sign disappears from the mesmer if they stealth and get back into view. You can just remove that functionality altogether if thats intended.

2. The clones does insane damage but they also shot through solid objects. Hence you can’t use terrain to your advantage.

I had one more point but I can’t remember it now..

Thank you for this thread. I thought I was the worst player ever when I played against memsers and always kept loosing..

I see at least 2-3 of them in every sPvP matchup. They feel impossible to kill 1v1. Inba and/or fotm? This is not a cry for nerf, just want to know what your views are?

Really so Im the only one having problem with this?? That’s sad..

So I’m today experiencing extrem lag in the sPvP matches. Any one else experiencing this or is it only me? I’m on Gandara btw. It has come to a point were I actually can’t play the game because of this..
