Guild Wars 2

sorry but I never complained about players being tanky but CC and Damage meta means you cannot actually play because you’re enemies always be killing you before you can do anything and that is actually a lot worse than an undying oppenent

I did take a little break from the game and PVP already becomed a CC/Invul spam damage race ? Did actually people enjoy this ? Did actually Anet believe this is how PVP should be ? Did anyone know when will be next major PVP change will be ?

Hawke.1094:

• And the main point is: Most people ask for ascended isnt mainly because of the stats. Ascended gear is more like a status thing. Realistically speaking, a person in full ascended are more likely to know their kitten better than a person in full exotic. Just because a person says that they’re good with their rotation doesnt mean that they actually are. You can’t just believe in everything ppl say on the internet. Thus, asking for ascended is technically the safest bet.

So you’re saying working on Ascended Gear rather than playing game is making you a better player ? Yeah sure

none of my fights lasted more than 3-4 seconds with Knight Amulet and Dolyak Signet , it started to get really boring. Do you know if armor ratings dropped with HoT ? because I prepare my builds in online build editors first than applied it to the game but right now numbers doesn’t match in builder I have 3.5K armor but in game it’s only 2.9k and I’m sure they were exactly same before HoT

So does anyone know when will arenanet make a balance patch so we can get over this one-shot burst meta ? Because this is disguisting there is nothing fun in 1-2 seconds fights , I was a total fan of PvP but right now I’m totaling hating PvP and before anyone say Cele Eles and Hambowes they’re nothing compared to this

Thanks I realized it I kind of easily give up on builds when I had a bad game but I guess it can be that I meet my counter or some bad match-ups
And I really should find my own style maybe I’m not good at class cannon builds maybe I should find something else for me

also thanks for D/P Thief tips it’s really hard to play actually I’m not sure where to use Basilisk Venom or where not to some games I realized that I totally forget to use it for entire game :/

Shinja.5642:

It’s mostly just about learning your class.

For example:
You try to play chrono
Most builds tell you to run marauders or even berserkers amulet.

But in my opinion you should just start with something more forgiving.
So maybe try celestial with some defensiv rune.
Once you feel comfortable try it with an offensive rune.
After that you go for something more offensive amulet wise and defensive runes and sigils.

If you follow this trend you will most likely figure things out by urself.

Hope this helped.

Thanks that’s the kind of stuff I was looking for

Fresh Air Elementalist or D/P thief ?

So I saw some squishy builds mostly Marauder Amulet builds I try them but struggled to survive in them and I need tips for playing them , and before anyone says blinds , blocks , invul,… and stuff I already try them. Mostly I’m asking about what should I do and shouldn’t I do like not staying in cap points or not 2v1ing and stuff any help will be appreciated

I mean the question is quite obivious it’s literally makes no sense . Why would you think it was a good idea to put them in the same queue ? It’s not a balance problem or anything it can be easily fixed so why are you still waiting ?

SirWarriant.2319:

I’n my experience it has been the opposite. Everything gets nuked instantly and fights end with 5 people downed because the damage is so high.

That’s what I’m talking about there are disguisting amount of damage out there still people complain about damage I quit PvPing because boring one-shot meta

So I heard there are new stats like Viper’s and Commander’s , where can I get those ?

choovanski.5462:

your choice of iron blooded over HGH tells me all I need to know.

passives wont save you if you’re a hungry hungry hippo. run the meta elixer soldier build, not knights if you want some sustain. knights and iron blooded is not a good combo. HGH soldiers is still strong, can for sure hold it’s own in the meta.

well I was using Celestial Kit version for a while so I’m not familiar with builds right now :/

and thanks for tips I’ll try them as soon as possible

they were fine before

Thanks so If I’m not mistaken you’re saying that I should wait a little before deciding right ?

So I did take a 3-4 month break before Heart of Thorns and enjoyed playing PvP before and so I decided to playing some PvP to get myself used to the game again but when I started playing the game again I noticed that I was constantly getting killed by 2-3 hits I said to myself maybe my builds kind of become squish maybe I should upgrade my defensive stats and in the final form I was running Knight Amulet with Hoelbrak Runes and Iron Blooded Trait(%2 percent damage reduction per Boon) and then happened my breaking point I started a fight with a Necro (Reaper) and I killed by 2 maybe 3 hits while having 7 diffrent boon (One of them being Protection) with 3K Armor. Ok I’m not a very skilled player I know it so I decided to look at to forums so maybe I can understand what’s going on and I saw that almost everybody is displeased with new “Meta” some complain about druids can’t be killed but most people will complain about samething as me “Damage”. Yes there was always complaining about some builds were OP but I was never this much effected by it hell sometimes I played some fun builds and they kind of worked out as well but right now I don’t know what to play except Reapers , DH , Druids and some other one-hit kill builds

So as for my question am I imaging things ( I hope I am) or is it really all DPS meta kind of thing because if it’s I’m gonna quit PvP’ing until a big change comes to Meta again :/

yeah I know if you change to a courtyard build you can play it but for me the time limit is too low I can’t properly change my build :/

So I don’t know why did you put a Death Match map into a cycle of Conquest maps but I think its just wrong I really like to play Conquest type of pvp and when Courtyard came it really makes me hate pvp. I don’t say people should not play Courtyard but either we should choose pvp modes before we enter queue (not kitten RNG !!!!) or you should give us more time before game starts so people can just change their builds into Death Match style ones (sorry but one and a half minute isn’t enough for me). Some people say they play ranked just to avoid Courtyard but I believe ranked should be for a lot more competitive people thats why I don’t think playing ranked should be the solution. I really want to believe in Anet to have a better solution for this ^^

Well I’m an altaholic as well but I just play what I want today play what is most appealing to me that day so as for a solution you can choose a character whenever you play and make that character your main for the day or until you get bored ( no strings attached )and pass on another one comeback to older ones whenever you feeling like it for the learning curve you can choose’a style of play that can be used for all of your characters (for me that is hybrid damage style might stacking celestial build some people say its not the best for PVE or you can’t use it for every proffesion but I believe I’m actually pretty good at it and that makes me happy ) so what I suggest for finding the right style for you there are build editor like sites you can play around there for sometime and you can look into something already build and try that style that’s all I can suggest I hope I can help you a little

I was trying to update my client today , until last file everything is ok but I can’t get the last one because my download speed falls to 0 and I can’t connect to game , so what should I do ?

I hope they fix those bugs as soon as possible :/

So I was leveling my alts pretty fast until September pack but after that it become really slow. So my question is it intentional or is it bug ? Because if it is only a bug I’m gonna take a break for leveling if it is not I’m gonna quit the game until they change it back

Well just as I said I’m new to this stuff and I only know it from this forum so I might be mistaken ^^

Yeah stubborn people sometimes be the worst ^^ . I probably wouldn’t mind some power for non zerker options but thats just me ^^

Well mine is just a thought I’m not that experienced with dungeons and FotM I just thought that might give the development team some idea that they can work on

Well I read about Berserker gear and lots of people said why it is the best gear for dungeons and I couldn’t disagree with them . But I also see that people want to use other gears as well and I think it is because people want different meta gear sets instead of one specific gear set to rule them all

So a lot of people think defensive stats are useless because there is an active defense system so why don’t you give some properties that make defensive stats also contributes to active defense and I believe that would be successful and some people might actually consider changing their gears so those are what I think that can be:

1) Vitality: might give us some endurance regeneration
2) Toughness: might give us a little chance of passive stability or some retaliation like effect
3) Healing Power: might increase reviving speed

some people might disagree and some people might have different opinions but I believe If people wants to change the Berserker Only meta that is how it should be ( Not by destroying berserker type players just by making other option more tempting )

Wow those are some brilliant ideas thanks

Yeah thats what I’m thinking right now I just want to see If someone suggest anything better

Well the problem is obivious I bought some character slots and now it feels like they’re too much for me and I don’t know what to do any suggestions ? :/
