Guild Wars 2

Dragon Hunter’s sword trap triggers twice. I saw this many times in my games now we have it on video:

OP insta nerf for pvp!

Leo Schrodingers Cat.2497:

Mmm… I noticed that you really hate using the #4 key, and prefer to spam tripple tap. Why? It seems like you’re wasting initiative and time when the power shot is able to deal more damage a little more cheaply than blowing the initiative bar on a rapid fire attack.

agreed. sniper4 is weak skill but only because malice takes a long time to charge. Imagine malice charged twice or 3 times as fast. u could sinpe4 after 5 seconds to get more dmg. I really hope they reduce malice dmg stack from 3% to 1% but charging time is much faster so u can get max malice in 7 seconds.

Malice charge time seems like the most important change to make. It gonna give faster boons and make sniper4 usefull. Currently it takes too long to take advantage of malice mechanic.

sd is better because it has more mobility and unblockable imba atacks

sp is for insta burst quickness fun

good insights. my priorities from pvp perspective are:

1. faster malice generation. Currently it pops at max long after fights.
2. better defense from utilites and elite- lower cast times to 1/4 s on elite and cantrip blind powder.
3. rifle 2 should give swiftness on skill use instead of on hit target to help mobility.

i suggest malice be charging faster, like two times faster.

I dont like f2 disappears when mark is recharged (by mark’s death for ex.).

I dont like very long charge time for malice. I suggest u make it 2% dmg and charge two times faster, or 1% dmg and fully charge in 7 seconds.

watched a lot of this. I like your build only if there is no daredevil in enemy team. You faced almost no daredevils in your gameplay so u had very easy kills.

Daredevil easily destroys deadeye. You said something like its 50/50 but i highly disagree. Goodp layer has 1/2 sec reaction if not faster and devil can press dodge, find the target and steal fo the win.

All might stacks only feed devil. So i played with scholar instead of this with some lvl of success in eu, but if enemy had devil and aura ele deadeye is no good.

Maybve if utility and elite stealth cantips were insta cast or 1/4 s it would be good. But as it stands dp devil insta destroyes deadeye/

Deadeye- pvp perspective

1. Using rifle skill on enemy behind character’s back is not atacking target (pistol is). Forces a lot of camera movement, annoying.
2. Rifle sneak atack is very weak and not worth using.
3. Rfile 4 snipe ability is very rare good to use. Rifle 3 is better 99% oftime.
4. One in the chanmber trait- i dont like marked target requirement and it overwrites current skills and . Can be 2 stolen skills loss. Better always add one skill. Also add 20% cantrip reduction.
5. Renewing gaze trait healing is way too small. 3 sec of regeneration looks like a placeholder or a joke.
6. Skirmisher shot (rifle 2) is not giving speed buff if enemy is not hit. Every other skill in the game gives speed. Deadeye is very slow without this skill working.
7. Malice mechanic! It seems it takes too long to reach maximum malice which gives master trait boons and is essential for traits value. More often fight ends without those boons than with them. I much rather have 2% dmg malice or 1% malice but much faster stacks gain because i want those boons.
8. New utilities: shawdow meld elite looks good exept dp daredevil duel. 1/2 sec cast time for Shawdow Meld and Shawdow Gust is too long for escape utility vs dp daredevil.
9. All new thief cantrip utilities seems weak. Shawdow gust is weak escape tool because it has too long cast time. Binding shawdow is too dependable on malice. Mercy no claer pupose for pvp. Shawdow flare is interesting. If only malice charged faster.
10. i want to have blue ring of 1500 range all the time. There are no good defensive cantrips.
11.

Congratulation to the Miaz, new God of pvp. Who is this guy destroying produo players?

much more fps on fx 6300 cpu and rx 460.

crit strikes is insane with pp. perma 25 might stacks with sigil and strength runes.

I suspect malice gonna increase dps so high that deadeye gonna easy one shot maruders.

EU LAGS UNPLAYABLE

I gave devil vs deadeye duel some thought and i cameusion that deadeye gonna easyly win this duel.

Deadeye has better elite than venom, better blind powder and ofc deadeye has much better dps thx to malice.

first u have to land a hit second off all thief vs thief always been who jumps who first has much higher win % seeing that deadeye sounds and looks like pretty slow clase with not so much mobility i dont see how d/p or even core thief will lose against this build.

mobility doesnt matter in duel dp vs dp. Deadeye has more stealth so it can nuke first.

I gave devil vs deadeye duel some thought and i cameusion that deadeye gonna easyly win this duel.

Deadeye has better elite than venom, better blind powder and ofc deadeye has much better dps thx to malice.

IF rife 4 has 1000 teleport range it can exchange shortbow and become extremly skill dependant skill for pros. Otherwise that silly 400 is completly no good.

KyorFish.5896:

except maybe a Deadeye also using D/P. not sure why everyone think you HAVE to use the rifle.

Deadeye d/p vs devil d/p gonna be interesting duel.

Deadeye has much better blinding powder (breakstun+stealth+knockout) and elite, so better stealth capabilities. Malice mechanic with massive boons gives insane dps, possibly better value than pulmonary impact.

Devil has more dodges, better mobility and pulmonary impact, generally better +1er.

Question is whether deadeye can insta kill any enemy when max malice stacks are reached.

babazhook.6805:

I am starting to get a bit more hyped about this. I hvae much more interest in theorycrafting then just finding the one build to rule them all and I start to see potential.

As example the Stealth Attack from the rifle converts 2 boons into conditions. RS in SA outright steals two boons. Which has priority? Ripping two boons and converting two more into conditions with one attack might be interesting.

How well will new steal work with Improv. ? Doubling up on stolen skills that are only usable in melee might be counterproductive yet at the same time a steal off a fellow thief is promising.

What happens when a “marked target” stealths? Is the lock maintained? It would be nice that if a marked target stealthed , you could maintain targetting on it through that stealth even if you might not be able to attack it.

They said with deadeye we get new stolen abilities completely so I’m assuming they will be ranged and we have no idea yet what they are

We know at least one:
deal 200 dmg
blind 6s
fury 6s
1500range

are u god of pvp yet?

I predict rifle gonna be weak in pvp and ppl gonna play devil dp mostly.

Rifle is not that good in pvp because it is slightly better pistol. it is immobile and enemies can easily hide behind cover. So iam interested how sword gonna work with deadeye.

At first glance deadeye looks very weak from pvp perspective .

First of all it doesnt have a role. All it has is dps, but i cant imagine it can duel on point nor decap without dash.

Secondly it loses to dp daredevil.

PS

I really hope mark (F1) is unblockable and undodgable, otherwise its trash.

deadeye spec is trash so u dont have to worry there.

long known and reported bug. never fixed. it also gives less endurance with staff trait

2h 1 min MARK

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/163637673

Straght from gw2 stream with potatos who presented live gameplay of deadeye in pvp lobby.

WOW dead eye so trash in pvp, iam calling it now. Much worse than daredevil.

I fear dp will still be most popular pvp build

Tapps.1479:

They didn’t win, why would they get the crown and other rewards?

Because second team lost to cheaters. Second place olimpians also get golden medal and 1st place status when former champion gets disqualified.

Why anet does not give the CROWN to 2nd team (vallun atc.?

gotta invest in that vpn…

REPORTED FOR WITCHHUNT!

msi afterburner and other programs prevent from starting starting gw2 and gtaV

sp clearly super strong

I diagree. PvP is thriving now. Pros are playing more in AT so lesser players can learn a lot. There might not be that many players but it is natural for 20 years old dx9 game.

if this bug buff confirmed working?

gw2 is dx8 game. there is no technology there

GW2 wont start with msi afterburner 4.3.0 with onscreen fps gpu display in windowed mode.

Vault was made 6 initiative 5 patches ago but lead atacks trait gives only 5% extra dmg, while it sohuld give 6. Also ’staff master" trait gives only 10 endurance instead of 12.

wtf anet why u odnt patch this? it makes me sad because staff is unplable due this bad feeling it is underpowered.

I dont care about new map rewards. All i want is gold. Dungeon is interesting track but last reward is armor and sometimes it give no gold because it salvages into nothing.

Which reward track is best gold?

Is it dungeon because u can mix gs in mystic forge for a chance of precurosor

or is it Draconis because it gives 2.5 gold final reward?

gw2 is not starting after gta 5 closure and clicking play in luncher.

This “yey hoo”? That sounds familiar…

When is next PvP mf buff? my bank is full of pvp bags and i want that sweet value!

It seems Wvw with pips is too small of a arena. I can not play wvw even before prime time. 50 ppl que is impossible to w8.

Is it high time anet upgrades servers to increase population?

1. Warrior and dh easily counter thief.
2. “Uncapped points team fight only” is the best strat vs thief team. Thief is best at decapping but capping is bad for team because it takes too much time. Thief team gonna lose 4v5 100% if thief caps a point. So if u dont have thief in team, u make fastest class (mes, druid or sth) to decap enemy side point and go back to team fight. Thief is useless in team fight so u win easy.

You are looking at thief from wrong diraciton. U say war is good counter but u camp point and watch your team die 4v5 on the map. Thats is wrong strat. If u are a war, just stick to normal duels on point and team fights and what is most important never go cap a point. Only go to decap it and go back to win team fight.

solo que wuth duo option was the best thjing that could happan.

I need some tips for this build
http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?vZAQNAsaVn0MBFmilNBmOB8PhlriybDygPo7mmuAY+5z+uH-TpBEABE8AAMvMAEHCAAOCAMt/gBnAAA

I’m looking for a Bloodborne like build, can someone educate me?

play dp meta build but change wepaon to sp.

sp is second best build for thief adter staff removal. I like it a lot and its my favorite build.

Roxas is the top grandmaster

Thief sp3 is affected by slow in curius way. it does not have prolonged evade and created very iritating situatoins. Anet patched many skills recantly by making them immune to slow and quickness. I think its only fair to make sword/pistol 3 skill not being affected by slow.

1. Are new sigils 100% proc on hit?
Sigil of Frailty
On hit: Inflict Vulnerability (10 Seconds).
(Cooldown: 2 Seconds)
Would be nice to have 5 vuln stacks upkeep.

2.
NEW: Sigil of Ruthlessness: Gain 5 might (3 seconds) when interrupting a foe.
NEW: Sigil of Absorption: Steal a boon when interruption a foe.

Way too op. Dp gonna win every duel vs staff thief.
There are no cool sigils for staff thief. Any chance for evade sigil on short cooldown?
I hear build divesity is important, but i dont see it for thief. Staff was nerfed and here we so no good proposal for staff.

They just nerfed the amount of evades that DD has access to and you want to add more in? Somehow I doubt this will happen.

I dont want to add more evades. I just want some special sigil proced by evade.

NEW: Sigil of Ruthlessness: Gain 5 might (3 seconds) when interrupting a foe.
