Skip Temple from the tournament rotation?

in PvP

Just to clarify my request a little bit.

I don’t dislike temple. I would just like to skip it this once. Teams are not always available to scrims and a lot of teams don’t want to scrim if all we’re doing is testing out new builds/comps etc because their is a pretty high likely-hood of us having problems, getting stomped and them getting nothing out of it. The queued tournament give a great place to try new things and work out the bigger issues before doing more organized scrims for fine tuning.

(Also some team like to afk train it up during scrims causing a 3 map rotation to take upwards of 90 minutes glare using a sizable chunk our team’s usable time)

Also having teams prepared for the PAX tournament is good overall; this is the first large tournament and first large PvP exposure for GW2 with potential to bring in new players etc.

Honestly I like temple a lot and with minor fixes could become a tournament map in the future. My request is for this cycle only based upon events in the very near future.

How does a necro stack 10 condi in .001 seconds or even use a macro when every single necro skill has a cast time?

The only way this could possibly happen is signet of spite maybe? but no necro build currently runs that. And if you get 1v8ed or even 1v2ed it simply a player skill/serious build issue. I cannot think of any build in the game that will win a 1v2 for any class.

It’s not one of the maps in the upcoming tournament and I would much prefer to have Temple skipped from the 2-team tournament rotation and move straight on to forest for the next 4 days?

Anet please?

And now I will explain why this is wrong.

Plague form gives you a HUGE health boost as well as a HUGE toughness boost.

While in plague form I have roughly 4600+ toughness(off the top of my head cannot look right now)… That in itself is worthwhile.

now you say 3700 DPS… I don’t know what teams/players you fight against but no player will ever let you get that many bleed stacks up before removing them.

Now to state the true role on plague form. Plague for is a team fight utility, it is not something you use off on a point 1v1. You use it to prevent or peel damage off the other team’s focus target or to prevent yourself from getting focused in a team fight. That 4600 toughness and extra HP is the different between a mesmer+warrior destroying you in 2 seconds and your team having to worry about a downed member with a weak downed state vs your team being able to focus down the warrior on you and proceeding to have a man advantage.

Another small but practical application is say you see/know a mesmer burst is coming, you have no life force, you’re 1v1 on a node you MUST WIN. They stunned you and set everything up, you instantly pop plague form, prevent damage from the clones/shatter, take little to no damage, leave plague form quickly and win the 1v1 with the mesmer. This may be a big use for a 180 second cooldown, but sometimes winning that 1v1 is the difference between winning the round.

Another thing to note is that plague form allows for an unremovable source of poison, This is very good press on the target and is also good for team downing. You have someone down, the other team is try to rez them/cleanse/interupt your/your team’s stomp. This both procs blinds, poisons, gives stability and keeps you from being hundred blades/shattered down while getting the down and giving your team a man advantage.

Their are several other uses for Plague form as well that I could add but risk making my post too long.

Their is no better skill in the game for team fight manipulation, save for Time Warp, than Plague Form.

End of Story.

TL; DR: Plague Form is very very good. This kid doesn’t know what he’s talking about and plays low level games.

You need an elite to win a 1 vs 1?

….

When you push a mesmer on their point with no CDs up after barely neutralizing mid when it’s a win the point or lose the game situation, you better believe I’m popping my ult and guaranteeing the win…

you do realize when attack a node… you don’t need to stand on it while killing the other person… standing on a node with someone else there doesn’t accomplish anything…

Play is not without a lot of errors on my part but still high level play by 2 good teams with necro playing a vital part.

I have two builds I predominantly play (tPvP) a Hybrid condi/support and a tank spec.

Hybrid Spec: http://tinyurl.com/8qrkzz4

Tank Spec: http://tinyurl.com/9xc5k5z

They work pretty well, both of them.

I also stream in the evenings/night with my team if you want to see how the builds are played. We have been trying to set up games against iO and other good teams: http://www.twitch.tv/xelfer5
