Guild Wars 2

While in downed state → switch to town clothes → Die → Don´t repair town clothes → PROFIT ? ??

Our nanosuit is delaying character render to the enemy after breaking the stealth.
Thats the only “OP” thing I guess.

GEAR: I bought all 6 pieces of my gear from karma vendors. Mix and match to get your desired thief effect: glass cannon or really glass cannon.

RUNE: Buy SUPERIOR runes only. get SIX of them. Attach runes to karma vendor armor pieces.

I feel the exotic orbs being more flexible, any reason behind using runes?

Its all about build.. Orb doesnt give you extra abilities or efects affecting your abilities.
e.g gang-nam style thief:
Thief guild + thief trap + ogre rune = You + 4 summons (3 thieves and rock dog) to fight for you. I found it useful for spvp mainly tho.
My own strange hybrid crit damage build:
Berserker armor + Superior rune of scholar – +165 power, +8% crit.damage, +10% damage while health is above 90% (with this setup I have crit.damage value 100 !! check yours in character stats)

What is the benefit from the orb again pls ? :-) And you can combine runes like 2+4, 3+3 etc. with orbs if you so desire. Its up to you and your build.

Hay there,
since all exotic 80lvl gear have the same stats (dmg for weps, def for armor) I found myself easier to craft armor and weapons with desired bonuses and use rune of your choice. If you dont like the look of it just buy pvp gear or karma gear and apply it to your crafted armor/wep.
There are NO PvP bonuses, its all about the look. Legendary items are just like that. Stats like 80lvl exotic just the look is kitten!
The only problem is when you want to switch e.g. critical dmg build to condition dmg build you have to craft yourself a new set of armor and weapon.
Karma and badge gear is just not with the right stats at last for the most thives builds so use it only for remodeling.

Jezus this is out of control everywhere… Not only supply drainers, not only spy guilds reporting chatter…
Now even capping siege capacity!
Very frustrating… WvW stats shows Top 5 abusers i think and its not even worthy to spend those golds for golems etc. this is goodbye to serious WvW.

today we had whole guild sabotaging wvw…. god kitten #8230; this is so stupid….
Last week we had a person who was draining supplies from castle over and over again so we cannot get upgrades..
SO kitten ITS HARD TO BELIAVE
Yes im totally mad.
good night

I´m not game coder but is really that hard to add orb statue as entity A and inner keep gate/lord NPC as entity B:
When B = 1 (present) then A = 0 (immune to damage) ;
When B = 0 (destroyed/killed) then A = 1 (vulnerable) ;

Hi everyone,
maybe there are dozens of topics about Orb being hacked by “Legendary winged profesional WvWers” but what about make Orb statues immune to damage until inner gate is breached/Lord NPC is killed? Is it doable? Is there a better temporary sollution?

Our server lost all our Orbs due to this “superTyrian fighter”. Name and shame wont help according to some other topics. Anyways If you have real evidence (screenshots,videos) please send it to tech support directly since this service really works (at last for me).

Orbs are nice addition to WvW not only those benefits from owning them but even random ppl run to defend keep more often if there is one

Yes I´m mad and raging and butthurt..

Hello XoAtticuSoX.5160,
unfortunately my memory is very poor but try to take a look at twitch streamers at (mid)night and there is a guy playing asura thief from Elona (DE) server who was just destroying ppl with his short bow at their main spawn (autoattacking mainly, kinda boring to be honest). That night they were constantly pushing back like 30 guys with 10man squad.
In my opinion short bow will always be just an utility tool for us. I can imagine to have a fun in WvW where both zerg-size teams are pushing each other back and forth while you deal damage to multiple targets and supporting team with stealing boons etc.
In PvE its useful for mobs trains but I don´t think you have to care about build for it.
I prefer PvP with my thief so I can´t tell you anything about shortbow in dungeons. Oh one thing at last, do not let newbie thief to pull mobs in dungeons Yay! His reaction was worthy a death.

Even if you find your desired build it will be useful only in specific and probably rare situations. Mainly because you need to have at last two targets which are near to each other to pull out some decent damage. So thumbs up for your effort to discover new things but I think its just for fun which gets boring pretty fast.

I´d like to hear some more theory about it tho.
Cheers.
