Guild Wars 2

HI guys. I just want to add that the same thing happened to me. I played the entire event TWICE. I started at 12:30. I submitted a ticket in game and on the website and am now responding to this thread. I will be sorely diappointed if we are not credited loot in game for our participation in this event. Lag aside I thought Anet did a fantastic job and look forward to future events as well. I’m sure whatever they do next they will improve on what could’ve went better with The Lost Shores. But again. For me bugs and lag aside. Nice job Anet. I did have a very good time.

Obsidian Focus is a skill tree trait that is supposed to grant toughness upon activating a channeled skill. Glyph’s are channeled skills but Obsidian Focus is not granting toughness when using them. I fail to see any other real reason for the skill to be on our tree as the weapon skills available to us using daggers, scepter, focus, or staff have few and far between abilities requiring a channel.

Hi guys. I stopped pvping with my guild mate last night to cool off. Every time I face him in pvp not a fight. Its a slaughter with him walking away with the kill. I’m really frustrated when i fight two classes so far. Mesmers and Necromancers.

I would like to know the community view on how to handle a necromancer in a 1v1 fight. They essentially have two lives with death shroud and the dps they do in lich is incredible. I’m considering using my elite the next time one goes into lich since we gain hp just to buy some time. Also I am not a “bunker” or tank elementalist. I am a dps elementalist. And since staff is seen as the weakest build for 1v1’s I’d like to know how you guys would handle a Necromancer WITH a staff if you had no other weapon choice to choose from hypothetically. The assumption is that you will be fighting a staff weilding Necromancer only.

You are capping the graveyard which is oddly empty. None of your team is anywhere to be seen with the naked eye when an icy chill tip toes down your neck. You turn and realize You’re not alone. A Necromancer stands at the other side of the graveyard Staff drawn. What would you do?

I keep hearing that staff elementalist is not good for structured pvp. In my eyes the only difference between staff, scepter/focus, and dual daggers is long range, medium range, and short range. And in my opinion a player would choose a pair of weapons based on his play style. I’ll have you know if you come across me in structured pvp don’t expect to beat me. Now I’m not saying " I’m a boss" or anything. But staff gets spit on by many elementalists I see posting here. Its just not true. In spvp, wvw, staff gives you the ability to spam dps and cc crowds of players. And you still have amazing tools at your disposal in 1v1’s. Its about using the appropriate skill in the appropriate circumstance. I’ve beaten thieves, guardians and warriors with my staff in spvp. I still struggle with necromancers and mesmers but very few have straight face rolled me. And I have yet to make a “Bunker” or tank build but I’ve seen some amazing bunker elementalists in…yes! You guess it. Structured PVP!!! For all you elementalists who want to use staff because you like the long range playstyle. PLAY IT! Make it your own and people will think twice about fighting you. YES… even in structured pvp.

Hey guys. I’m just wondering what the overall community view is on the Tornado Elite Skill. I personally feel that that our toughness should be increased dramatically while in Tornado form. We do get a boost in vitality, power and precision. But the vitality is really not an improvement at all. In my opinion it might make the tornado form more viable in group situations if we recieved toughness instead of vitality. For 1v1 when being snared with no way of freeing yourself tornado form can be amazing. But in a group situation you immediately become free for slaughter. What do you guys think of the Tornado Elite Skill? And how or when do you use it IF you use it at all?
