Guild Wars 2

Ross Biddle.2367:

So I went and had a read of that QQ timewarp thread. It was a sad sorry thing, and I have to tell you, I saw a lot of talk of OP and “cheap”, yada yada yada. I hadn’t seen such a concentrated group of scrubs in a long time, but I’m also not surprised.

So let’s talk tactics. What you QQ’rs need is to break down what’s going on inside a timewarp, and come up with some actual valid counters to it. I’m not the master of all PvP combat, but a couple things are so stupidly obvious I shouldn’t have even needed to come here to say so.

Yes, running away is a valid tactic, like it or not. But let’s move beyond that.

Confusion: You can expect within a TW for your enemy to spam his skills. In fact he’ll be firing them off so quickly he probably won’t even stop to check what he’s doing. If he is, he might have rinsed through them so quickly it’ll be to late. Confusion will chop a person in half, even in sPvP. Look into it. It’s amazing.

Retaliation: Getting smashed by TW? Well, so can your enemy. Retaliation exists to punish your enemy for trying to punish you.

Got confusion AND retaliation? Well guess what, TW is as much a problem as it is a solution. Your class/group loosing against a TW using mes/team? Build a better class. The options are there.

More ideas? I know they’re out there.

Interesting, so the counter to time warp is confusion and retaliation. I wonder what class is best suited to provide both confusion and retaliation?

Sounds like a job for a mesmer.

All squig herders must kittening die.

One of these is not like the others, one of these doesn’t belong.

At least 4 utility skill stun breaks for every other class.

More like: pets already dead, elite goes on cooldown.

This guy sums it up pretty well:

thx, we ended up on blackgate.. really its only myself and mursie left playing. its unfortunate i really do like this games pvp.

If you ever feel like checking out JQ be sure to say hi. Myrmidons has a small group (3-5) running WvW most nights.

reason why i deleted my ranger was due to the fact i like playing high ST burst rdps, the ranger just doesn’t offer it. warhammer i played a sorc, rift i was a mage, swtor i rocked a commando ect.. this is also the first mmo where im playing a primarily mdps as a main.

Funny how that goes…

I had similar feelings with the ranger before I leveled my Warrior. What server did you guys end up on? Nice vid by the way.
