Guild Wars 2

TS, I have a better idea.
Team composition:
PS Warrior
Mace/x Guardian
Chrono
Herald and Tempest or 2xTempest

Cons: You have to kick all these useless necromancers and druids.
Pros: Stress free t4 fotm with better heal, better utility and lot better dps. Also might, fury, quickness, protection, banners, stab and tons of reflect – I heard it helps.

Learn to block, blind, dodge and positioning and stop beat against the DH walls.
Diminishing returns – bad system overall, designed for much long CC than we have. 5-7 secs hard CC with one skill easy in WoW for example.

I think necro should remove all boons with every 3rd auto. Also transfer 1 condi every second to all enemies in 900 AoE. It’s make necro balanced very well, now necro so weak.

W\o thougness teef destroy you.
Runes of the Pack give better chance to crit.
Zephyr Boon > Ferocious Wind. U have so low crit chance, this ferocity gives nothing.
Paladin much better than Valk.
If u want play S/x FA – try to use Signet of Stone, w/o immobilize scepter wombo-combo just trash.
Use tempest. Overloads – only thing that can help you to be damage dealer. It’s full unsafe, but one air overload can turn teamfight. Old fresh air ele have no damage compare to Reapers and Revs.

Ele don’t need redesign. Just celestial. Elementalist – it’s all about celestial, cuz we need some hp (with our hp pool), some thougness (cuz light armor) and some healing power (cuz heal – core defense of ele).
Now, w/o tough+vit+heal, with boon rip on every skill from necro… Bye-bye ele.
Just bring back celestial for elementalist only – it’s quick and easy fix.

No Celestial, no energy = no elementalist.

GG WP, ANet. Another profession out of meta, back to 2013-2014 – no one ele.

Or just improve base traitlines. Make it better and stronger.

It’s so funny, people still care about trait, which strong only vs 1v1 and if opponent use pure condi build. Dont fight 1v1 vs bunker, this guy pick tons of defesinve traits and utilty for support his mates. In teamfight you can just focus him, meta tempest weak to focus.

Ross Biddle.2367:

and rock beats scissors..

what beats diamond skin bunker tempest?

Focus fire and teamplay. Also good power builds, that fall out the meta. This tempest – only answer to all this 9000-torment-confusion-unkillable revs.

Another necro cry about diamond skin. Just try another amulet, this problem only for carrion, get some more direct damage and win. After nerf revenant resistance reaper fine, just need some team support as always.

Stronghold – dead gamemode. It’s good at all, but Anet just drop it – no competive, no tournaments, even not in Guild Ladder. It’s just another _Tardyard.
Forget about it and play in circles, because new gamemode requires too much effort from Anet. They do not like to overwork.

Hey!
In this meta you have “lots” of variants.
You can play bunker mesmer – don’t care about “high skill cap” or anything what you heard before, bunker mesmer easy as hell.
And.
You can play Revenant(Herald) – with Viper ammy ofc. Just smash you face against keyboard and your enemy in downstate!

Really, it’s note joke. If you try to play other classes now… you will suffer.

I think in interrupter build you more want mace+sword and sword+shield than mace+shield and sword+sword. M/s + s/sh give you interrupt on every weapon set and more balanced defensive CDs, w/o fast hands it’s seems important. Also runes should be traveler for move speed or nightmare for overall condi duration and fear (interrupt). Runes of Guardian can be interesting option – extra thougness and extra burning (we have lots of blocks). Sigil of bursting useless – geomancy or even doom give you more, sigil of torment with carrion amulet… not so useful, even with sigil of int. Sigil of Agility can be interesting for fast f1 on sword after swap.

I dont want to say anything about 2-5, but #1 it’s just lol. Dps check always needed and in any game dd role filled with people with min-max gear and build. No stupid nomad, tanky build or any other reaper shi~ . Full dps, metazerk – it’s all u need.

Revs not OP, they only broken. Most abilities of Revenant useless… or extremly strong. Anyway, main problem with revenant – sustain and conterplay, not damage. Damage fine, but sustain not even close – lifesteal, heal, block+heal and evadespam. Lightning Reflexes with endurance restore, w/o CD? Easy! Just take it, best stunbreak in game. And all this defense with attacks like sword#3 and best access to unblockable things in game. In teamfights Rev deal good damage for mara/zerk, but not so terrible, but his sustain and 1v1 capability should be nerfed.

I think design of Dragon Stand not so good, as we would like. You can start doing events on Silverwaste, Auric Basin, Verdant Brink or any other map, but Dragon Stand very different. If after start (maybe 10-15 min’s) we don’t have 3 commanders and full map – this mirror becomes useless. No one wants do event on this map after timer tick ~1:40 – too late, this map never be completed. You can only stay on wp and looking for better mirror with commanders.
And now I stay on wp around 30 mins, cuz I wait for map restart for taxi people in, up tag and go to events.

Maybe start timer after doing prevent or something like that?

Preface
I want to play my guardian in PvP. But it sucks. Not because the profession is poorly designed designed, but because the PvP stat system is terrible. Guardians are low HP, so they need vitality. They’re also predominately melee and don’t have strong mitigation or escapes, so they need some toughness. In order to deal decent damage, it needs quite a bit of power as well as precision and ferocity. Healing power also wouldn’t hurt.

I have answer for you. Celestial, fury and some might.

We have big problem. Anet say “Ololo, we can’t share boons for 10 people, it’s so powerful-imbalanced-blah-blah-blah”.
Because of this we should go with x2 PS warriors for might and banners, x2 guardians for stability + utility and dps slots. Revenants can provide protection, boonstrip, fury and very high dps and have 2 – not bad idea. Eles – heal, cleanse, blind and strong dps. And last slots – maybe Engis, cuz crazy dps. Also engi can give us not bad stealth duration for possible skips, but i don’t think Anet again make this mistake with instance design.

Hard grind fastest way if u have boosters. Celebration and simple exp booster at least. Eat it, go www and kill mobs nonstop, u get around 8 lvl/hour.

This thread just lol.
1. Ranger just pew-pew-pew – without any timing, and I am glad that such nonsense is not working.
2. It’s realy trash guardians. It’s rabbit lvl pvp?
_
About D/D ele – it’s strong and good build and you should play smart, if you want win. After 06.23 update mesmers, warriors, necro, ranger (condi), engi(condi) can kill d/d ele in 1v1 situation, and 2 good dps can kill d/d ele faster than before 06.23.
Anyway, simple fact – d/d ele very hard to kill with direct dmg. High thougness, hi prot uptime, healing. If u want counter celele – take boon rip and/or high condi pressure.

Just revert burning changes and it resolve all problems. Same formula, stack duration. Now in 90% cases you killed with 100500 burning ticks.

Not bad, but Celestial still better. With condi – more dmg. And way more EHP.

nicknamenick.2437:

Ouch this will hurt gs/hammer real hard.
For arms it could work for hambow i guess.

I’m not fan of GS\Hammer build. Maybe not bad for WvW roaming, but in sPvP warrior dont work without bow.
Anyway, hammer trait can be only in master or GM tier – this trait very strong and dangerous in PvP. Yes Strenght adept – good place, but this tier good place for anything, cuz any choice close to useless. Maybe only 100b build can take usefull buff for Bull Charge.
Also i really dislike Burst Precision. Wtf, it’s GM trait and it is worse than sigil of intelegence.

Arms GM.
Furious – meh for direct dmg build.
Burst precision – just meh.
Dual Wielding – PvE stuff.

Delete burst precision. Move Hammer Trait to GM Arms. Add berserker precision to Discipline – as Bers Might but +10-15-20% crit chance.
This changes give good place for Hammer Trait and up PvE dmg for warriors (use burst and give +20% dmg and 20% crit chance).

Why no zealot gear? With it u have good heal and still have damage.

RotL – confirm, very annoying.
SB#3 – don’t know.

BlackTruth.6813:

Ele and Engi are technically stronger.

^This.
Shoutbow not so good build. I think no real reason to keep shoutbow in team, because good dd ele do better anything – more damage, more mobilty, more CC, more support. Maybe shoutbow better cleanse condi from yourself and have better stability (if take it). Only preference of warrior players keep shoutbow in meta, he just not so bad vs celele/celengi, but not better.
And… Hambow not easy spec to play perfect =__=

I use:
1-5 – standart.
WASD – move.
G – heal skill
Q, E, R – utility
C – elite skill
` – weapon swap
f1-f4 – standart
Shift – dodge
Alt – stow weapon
V – turn back
F – action (stomp/res/etc)

Just game need balance around celestial. Celestial for all profs, in all slots – make it viable! It’s balance.

It’s GW2. Defiance will continue to work as is. You can’t taunt boss, but Boss will taunt you.

Suffering for leavers… always nice to see it.

Another warrior, ofc. Or d/d ele. Or cele engi. You can combine solder or cele warriors with anything.

Warrior have small pool of skills at one moment, but very wide skill pool at all. All weapons(except magical, pistol, torch, shortbow) and all dual wield. Warrior gameplay not so diverse, but very active. Short cooldowns of burst skill and weapon skills, fast wepaon swap. In sPvP warrior have many viable builds – shoutbow, hambow, axe/sword, not so popular, but still effective sword/sword, mace/sword and GS/bow. Still in WvW ZvZ meta, still one of the best roamers, still top3 dps in pve. Maybe only fast andrenaline decay very annoying. Anyway, warrior not suck.

About 7-8 hours ago I play against full premade turret engis on Courtyard. In my team only 2 guys were in the party. It’s little unfair

WoW Arena have more viewers because WoW just more popular and have biggest community.
Problem with e-sport in gw2 not game mode. Main problem – game mechanic, where we don’t have “wow!” moments. In dota 2 player can wipe full enemy team. Moba and shooters much simplest than MMO – every newbie can understand what happens, when player pop Super-mega-ultimate or make triple headshot.
And ofc popularity. If sPvP take another free game client – player base grow very-very fast. All e-sport games in last years free to play, except Blizzard products. But Blizzard is different story.

Peutrifectus.4830:

Actually… I stand by full celestial for solo, self support… Take elixir gun and either grenades or bombs, the trait modified ammo, a few stacks of might and you’re out damaging zerker gear whilst having toughness vitality and healing power.

Rampager with might deal more damage in solo situation. Toughness, vitality and healing power – questionable choice for PvE. Celestial very strong, but in PvE you don’t need so much sustain.

Oh, I forgot about interesting norn engi option. He can be spacemarine. Burn your enemies for the Emperor!

I think players should be able to leave. Maybe timeout for 1-2 day will be good price. Leavers must suffer.

Charr? Not bad medium, good background (Iron Legion) and engi in this game – charr class. Flaw – not so cool magitech.
Sylvari – trivially, especially female in magitech. But male ok option.

Anyway, asura master race. All know it.

Booms.2594:

even if it was interupted or canceled it shouldnt go on full cd

Not all. Heals with additional effects, like Shelter, go on full CD.

Hoelbrak always good choice – very flexible runes, more self-oriented than Pack. If you run full hybrid damage with balance between condi and direct – go Hoelbrak and mightstacking, if you prefer good power damage with some condi (burning ofc) – pack very cool, because its +125 precision and more than 50% fury uptime.

Zogga’s ofc. If you want mix – use bers weapon + trinkets and assassin armor.

Guys, what better for roaming – cele rifle or classic rabid/dire p/s?

Yesterday, I tried using the VPN (one of the open), and it works. After disabling VPN connection TP still work correctly, but after a while TP broken again (with the same eternal loading). But! In-game browser show error window and it’s error 105 (ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED) i.e. this is a problem with DNS.
But anyway using Google DNS (8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4) not solve our issue.

So much hype.
Injustice: Engis among us.

avakand.7061:

Same problem. Tried everything.
Also, official site doesn’t load images (as in attachment) too when i’m not logged in my account. Just text without everything else.
When i logged in account – site is loading as usual.

Oh, yes, same problem. Also sometime i can’t login because login page dont load.

Deleting AoE cap? Really? I see it – zerker ele and necro, who one shot blob.

Pat Cavit.9234:

Clearing your browser cache won’t help, GW2 has its own browser built-in. Try this instead.

1. Close GW2
2. Open “My Computer” or “Computer” (depending on your version of Windows)
3. Type “%TEMP%” (without the quotes) into the address bar.
4. Delete all folders starting with “gw2cache-”
5. Open GW2

Here’s some example folder names to help you identify the right folders. They will have slightly different names on your machines.

gw2cache-{16611E0B-2F1D-1A36-081E-61161D2F361A}
gw2cache-{16611E0B-472E-1A67-081E-61162E47671A}
gw2cache-{16611E0B-539F-19C2-081E-61169F53C219}
gw2cache-{16611E0B-53F4-1988-081E-6116F4538819}
gw2cache-{16611E0B-5459-19A5-081E-61165954A519}
gw2cache-{16611E0B-B678-199A-081E-611678B69A19}

Pat, I try it few days ago. And disable all programs in my auto run, use another Windows User Account, use another copy of windows, repair game client, contact my ISP and talk about ports with him. Also update certifiqates and digital signature, run game as administrator. I complete all advances of Support Team, but TP still don’t work :(

Same problem. Start around 1.7.2015, sometimes TP work ok, but then again.
1.15.2015 – TP fine 1 day.
1.16.2015 – update with new helm-shoulders-hands and TP not work.

Gear Shield very strong, but balanced. Engi have very small pool of deffensive cooldowns, very weak vs condi and play with max 1 stunbreaker. Stunned engi can’t spam skills and heal like ele or blink out with 8 sec cd like mesmer. And engineer have weak ranged options, he is node fighter and farther 600 engi have only rifle AA. Yep, nades, but in ranged nades – assault weapon, usable only for bombing point.

Heya!
Sometimes I play staff builds and I want little advice. In your opinion what sets of runes good for staff 00266 with Cleric ammy?
Melandru? Dolyak? Merci? Or maybe try vitality runes?
