Guild Wars 2

Just had a great battle for SM. Sadly ebay was able to over well us with their numbers :/. It was still a great battle got lots of kills and had a ton of fun.

lol just use the invis wells. Its crazy instead of using the counter A-net all rdy gave us to trolls in the j-puzzle people come here and qq.

Guys can you stop trying to make drama about things that have nothing to do with wvw? If you want to qq go make ur self a post for it under guilds maybe.

Last time AR beat BP they come out with twice the numbers of the week before so we will see.

Judging from what the scoreboards are saying, they’re ahead of BP by 5 points. Congratulations AR, at reset you will be Blue!

The question is will BP go all out on AR to try to get the color blue back or will fight be similar to what has been?

I really like the Ar guild TWIN, it’s always fun running into the camp flipping teams that I see in the BPBL. As far as favorite EB guild, I’ll give it to GF, they always seems to communicate well and they never run from fights. I’d give props to FTF and PK but I can never seem to run into them in small group fights, nonetheless, I still feel that these guilds put up great fights and they def enjoy grabbing badges from me. Will be fun seeing PK FTF and GF tonight on reset. Pepper your Angus!

Indeed, it was a fun afternoon in BP BL, small fights are always the most fun!

Go go Ar for trying to bring this forum back to a wvw subject. So is Ar still moving up in rank?

Why is it AR and BP refuse to leave towers until they outnumber at a minimum 5-1?

Are GF and Sekz really that intimidating?

You cray.

You have to forgive him all the mindless zerging must have rotted his brain.

So, the rationalization behind Robert Hrouda and the devs with Rangers right now seems to be that they nerfed some stuff (quickness) and buffed some stuff (greatsword) and that they don’t want to buff anything else because they want to wait and see what builds the community comes up with.

Here’s the problem though: Even after the buff, the greatsword still does less dps than the shortbow.

I spent some time testing out several types of glass cannon builds to see if there was any way to deal more dps with the greatsword than with the short bow and here’s what I found:

- In a full Marks/Skirm (30/30/0/0/0) glass cannon build, the short bow deals more dps unless you stand in front of the enemy the whole time.

- In a 10/10/20/20 build with the traits to increase GS damage by 5% and to reduce GS cooldowns by 20%, the short bow is equal to GS dps and the GS dps in this build is less than GS dps in a Marks/Skirm build.

So, if you’re running a build with the aim of maximizing dps, the short bow is still the clear victor.

And if you doubt any of this, feel free to step into the mists for a few minutes and test for yourself.

You need to be using sword/dagger if you want to reach max dps.

I think rangers are very useless in dungeons
-there pet can wipe every one.
-weak dps
-are not great tanks
-support is a joke
Pretty much any thing a ranger can do another class can do much better so why take a ranger over the other classes?

-depends on whether the player micromanages the pet.
-depends on whether the player is specced for maximum dps
-survive longer than anybody else usually in a dungeon
-trap rangers put down more combo fields than anybody else, and healing spring is our best party support skill.

I’ll tell you why you take a ranger…you want a GOOD player. The Ranger’s learning curve is so high that those who dungeon are usually very good players who have gained the skill necessary to help greatly in dungeons.

-try doing arah
- if they are spec for dps a staff ele can out dps then/ if they are staff for condition they are like a bad necro
-maybe if they are standing in the way back but then they aren’t doing their best dps
-have u ever played with an ele they can put down more combo fields and have higher dps when doing it/ healing spring isn’t better then necros well to

In short if you like playing your ranger as melee then you may want to come back because gs did get buffed but if you like playing range as a ranger don’t because we lost our lb zerker build and sb condition build to nerfs Also its becoming harder to find groups that will take a ranger.

Are there any viable non GS builds? Because I love kiting and don’t like being up in peoples’ faces. From what I am seeing the only option I have after the patch is a GS beast master build which isn’t my play style.

You don’t have to be in peoples faces with a SB/GS. You can still kite with SB and pets. It’s nice to know that when you do actually have to melee now, that you can hit back pretty darn hard now. Then get back to kiting when CDs are up…or not.

Seriously, everyone should try another class. I got my Warrior to 80 yesterday. Went out roaming in WvW and came across a solo Ranger two different times. I got completely smoked. One was a great kiter and I barely got a hit on him. The other also kited but I got in more damage. Still lost.

Then I realized that most Warriors are fodder for my Ranger. I would estimate I win 80% of the time vs them…..and I am average at best. The grass isn’t always greener.

( I don’t include Mesmers or thiefs in that statement)

Yeah I tried it all rdy. Gs is really good I was trying the cat build in Spvp but it just isn’t a fun weapon for me. I want to be all ways out of melee range if i can help it.

After seeing how many builds in some many different classes this patch killed I think Guild Wars 2 is dead as soon as Elder Scrolls Online comes out. Arena Net Devs said they want to make classes have many viable builds but instead betrayed their own words and the players trust. Come on Arena Net I though this game was about letting the players play how they want! Its turning into a game that the Devs limit play styles.

I loved this game to and I was exited when the Devs said they wanted to make more builds play able. Then this patch came and killed off so many different builds with out really making any new ones. What with that? I though this game was about being able to play how you want!

First off, this trait doesn’t allow you to automatically kill a opponent so your statement is far fetched.

No, it only allows you to permanent immobilize 50 players at 1500 or w/e range in a giant AOE. Balanced, yeah.

If it was a known issue, it would have been brought up well before this past couple of weeks, I’m sorry that it promotes more strategy then banging your head on a door till you can rush in.

For those that are unable to read the thread: the current bug is a result of the recent change to engi turret mechanics.

Draygo.9473:

There is sufficient counterplay here. There are lots of immob breaks, blocking abilities, invun, evades, teleports, dashes that can get you through this.

It’s funny how you mention “immob breaks” when the arrow cart will just immobilize you again a half second later.

So the bottom line here is that it’s fair for 2-4 arrow carts to permanently hold down a chokepoint. Looks like it will be impossible to take any keep from any defense by any competently organized server until Anet fixes it.

Sorry to say but if a guild is holding a choke point and are organized enough to not only have 2-4 arrow carts up but to have traited warriors on them your probably going to get farmed anyway (with or with out the arrow carts).

LOL I just hope for your own sanity your trolling. Because its so easy to get 2 other war friends and give them money to buy arrow carts and tell them about the trait. Its so easy to abuse

So are you troll or why are you defending a game bug so crazily? Because you seem mad or in denial that this is a bug.

THAT WAS ONE OF THE BEST WVW MATCH UPS EVER!

I been griefed in fract as well. The most recent time was when the party leader quickly looted the chest on the last boss and then logged out before any one else had a chance. Some thing needs to change to fix this.
