What I can’t understand is how a creature can interrupt a dodge.
IKR? I can’t say how many times my dodges have been interrupted. I mean if youre dodging then youre dodging right? not according to anet logic.
blobbers do get pips just from the ppt and everything. meanwhile the lower populated server cant make headway cuz the bigger blob just runs them over or backcaps immediately.
and another reason why its unfair is that lower ranked players get less pips than higher ranked players. so a lower ranked player not grinding all day in wvw gets punished.
pip system needs to be moved to eotm and out of real wvw. and dont say anything about server being together in eotm cuz the game knows what server youre on even in eotm. or just remove the loyalty pip altogether.Everyone participating, aka having tier 3 participation in WvW, gets pips every tick, yes. Blobbers do not get more than others but that is completely depending on their WvW rank and there server placement. You do not get more just for being in a blob, you get more based on your personal time and effort spent in WvW.
Your issue seems to be that you haven’t spent much time at all in WvW, you’re just getting into it and now you want all the bells and whistles right off the bat whereas people who have been playing WvW for years, and I mean years, didn’t get anything for all of that time. To me it would be completely unfair -to them- if you were getting the exact same pips per tick that they were yet you haven’t even spent 5% of the amount of time they have playing WvW.
Lol i explained it thoroughly and you still didn’t understand so I guess its w/e with you.
Guardian blocks can be traited to aply fire damage, to stack more fire when blocking guards can use Guardian runes as well.
This. And to trait for applying the conditions, the guardian sacrifices a lot in terms of being able to effectively fight a group. So, no, it’s not an exploit, it’s not op, it’s not hacking. It is, in the current wvw, a legitimate tactic with upsides and down.
Oh I get what’s going on here. You use one of these builds and don’t want it nerfed. No matter it still doesn’t change the fact im telling everyone to abuse it and im making a build just for this too.
Why should it be nerfed though, its a legitimate counter to ac’s. If you nerf it people will just move to the next most effective way to kill ac’s, should we nerf those to? Should we just make ac’s untargetable by anything that might kill them just so defending keeps is easier than it already is? Do you see how this may seem ridiculous to some?
How is this so hard to understand? Just make it where the acs cant be destroyed by passive traits. esp in seconds.
Take this into consideration. Running around in a blob grinding for ppt you get a lot more pips then running around as a small group or lower populated blob and getting ran over by the bigger blob and can’t take any towers or anything cuz the other blob runs you down. When you have servers that have full squad + blobs on every map against servers that can barely fill a squad on one map then it becomes unbalanced. And anet keeps putting these big blobby servers against lower populated servers. Its almost as if they want the bigger server to ultimately dominate the other ones. Its the same thing every week. Anet pins a blob server against 2 smaller servers. they know what’s going to happen they can’t be that clueless about the game.
You don’t get pips from being in a blob. If you are a commander you get +1 pip, if you are outnumbered you get +5 pips, if your server is 3rd place you get +1 pip, if your server is 2nd you get +2 pips, if your server is 1st you get +3 pips, your WvW rank gives +1 to +7 pips, if you have been loyal to a server for 3 weeks you get +1 pip. You don’t gain any additional pips for running with a blob unless you are commanding it
If your complaint is that your server gets less pips because it has the lowest score, is 3rd or last, than a server that is 1st or 2nd then you need to dial it back. A server that is placing higher than the others getting more pips per tick than ones that are not performing as well is pretty reasonable. It isn’t meant to be something that makes it “fair” or “equal” it is meant as incentive to do better. Servers get paired with one or more servers these days, so population shouldn’t be -that- huge of a deal in WvW at least to my understanding of it.

It’s a specific counter to ac’s, but the AC will show burning if that’s what’s happening.
I think its retaliation cuz ive seen it happen to mortars, cannons etc. Either way I’m telling everyone to abuse it so anet will nerf it. Its ridiculous that anet would put those in game to help defend against blobs but the blobs just passively destroy them.
No, people are telling you exactly what’s going on and you continue to insist on not listening.
I didn’t say it wasn’t burning so thanx for accusing without knowing. The ac wasn’t showing burning animation or on its hp bar. That’s what i’ve been saying. You must just be here to argue.

This is a legitimate counter to ACs. Maybe try fighting instead?
Yeah fight a blob by myself that makes perfect sense.
Do I really need to explain this? I just can’t get over how a staff spamming thief can evade shouts or how a warrior can block a shout. #smh
Burning damage from guardian AC killer build?
IF that’s the case them the ac should show animations of burning or at least show its burning.
Either way, it needs to be stopped by anet. Thats just ridiculous. Why try to defend when the defense gets destroyed by players not even doing anything. thats just smh status there.
I just asked my mom and she said that I matter.

So using an AC in a tower to defend by hitting rams on the gate. The AC gets destroyed while I was using it. Why is this happening? This has happened several times. I’m not taking damage at all and its not aoe from the enemy as they can’t even hit at some ac spots. If its retaliation then that seriously needs to be fixed anet. That would mean it took retaliation a matter of seconds to destroy an ac. Thats just ridiculous
Currently the pip system rewards those that run around in 50+ man blobs. And those that do not have high populations get punished by not rewarding as many pips as the blobs. Roamers get even more punished for not blobbing. The only way to get outnumbered extra pip is erroneous cuz of the requirements in order to be outnumbered.
why does anet continue to reward bad gameplay and blobbing and punish those that choose not to blob?
And before its said, “this is a group oriented game” It is also played by players that choose not to group up and to cater to only the blobbers is unfair to the rest.
Here is the condition meta rearing its head again. This has been brought up so many times and every time the condition users troll the OP. The fact is that this meta is boring and needs to be nerfed. Not only conditions but the boon share meta too. If conditions were made half way between what they were and what they are now they’d be balanced. But as it goes for every game and every player, those that haven’t taken the time to learn the game will always go for the easy builds i.e. metabattle and there will always be those players that strive to do nothing but make the game unenjoyable for others out of spite, anger or whatever.
So there will always be those the will exploit the most overpowered skills, classes, builds, etc.
He was up, with very low health then there’s red damage numbers and he’s downed, looks like he died and the stomp started and finished.
What else does he want us to see?
Edit: up. Damage, downed, stomped is what I saw.
If you slow it down you see the stomp started before he was up. then he was downed right when the stomp finished. The stomp shouldn’t have still worked through him being up and downed again. I know when I try to stomp and the person gets up the stomp resets. This time it didn’t. And you can tell the stomp went through because of the stomp animation. The mage or whatever it is. I think maybe this is an issue of lag perhaps.

Um you’re pretty much describing this guy https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_y-1XILvCo-8AYmn8klEwA the only difference is he is a reaper. I’m guessing this is where you got the build from in the first place.
I changed the setup exe to gw2.exe and moved it to the install folder now i can use the 32 bit. Why it just doesn’t give you the option from the start instead of making players jump through hoops and find workarounds is beyond me.
You should ensure your shortcut or whatever points to `gw2.exe`, rather than `gw2-64.exe`, and pass the -32 argument to it; this will run the 32-bit client.
It’s pretty much 100 percent certain that you don’t really want the 32-bit client though: it’s going to have more significant memory management issues, won’t perform any better than the 64-bit client, and in general is basically just inferior for boring technical reasons.
What makes you think it is desirable to use it instead?
I haven’t had any issues running the 32 bit. But I stream to twitch and the streaming program runs in 64 bit and when running the resource hog gw2 in 64 bit with the streaming program another resource hog, it crashes the streaming program.
Also, there is no gw2.exe only the gw2 -64.exe.
(edited by charrboiledeggs.8164)
I have a 64 bit but i’d rather run gw2 in 32 bit. I requested the 32 bit client download but when it installed it installed the 64 bit instead. I put the command line variable -32 in the shortcut but it only runs in 64 bit still. But being there’s no 32 bit bin file kind of hard to run in 32 bit.
How can i force the install of the 32 bit bin?
EDIT: I just reinstalled my OS. Can I just copy the 32 bit bin from the Windows.old folder into the 64 bit client folder? And if so how can I get the game to recognize that 32 bit bin?

Sure would be nice if these 2 skills actually did as they are supposed to.
Condis are for those that lack skill.
LMAO necro could use a bit of a dmg boost but other than that its fine. If you find yourself continuously dieing or just dont think it adds up to the other classes or whatever then learn to play it.
102% Crit Chance and still only get 6/10 crit hits. Game working as expected, good job anet.
One would imagine if you can’t be support you can be a buffer, or if you can’t be any of these and you are a selfish class you should at least be up there in terms of damage, but no, we had one “good” thing since Guild Wars 2 launched 4 years ago and that was Viper Necro.
Thanks,
All I can say is this, and i’ve been saying it since beta, if players have to rely on other players to keep them alive or to buff them so they have dps then they are not good players and totally missed the point of anet removing the trinity. The bad players cried and cried for the trinity cuz they well are bad and have no clue how to sustain themselves. Learning the game one could actually learn this.
In WvW the original roamers knew how to do this and could take on multiple enemy at once and win. Those roamers have since quit due to this current kitten meta. I take on multiple enemies and win all the time on my reaper but I have a deep understanding of how anet builds the necro in gw1 and gw2 and I know how to self sustain without sacrificing too much dps. Its not hard to do just takes time to learn which 99% of gw2 players dont want to do which is why we are stuck in the current spam condis to win meta without knowing what youre doing.
Necro has been getting kitten on since gw2 came out. If the necro can beat the warrior which anet has a hard on for then it gets nerfed to the ground. Necro has been plagued with glitches and bugs since the beginning of the game and anet refuses to fix these. Dont expect much change at all….ever……just be like all the other no brain kittens and play a spam gs to win warrior.
Here is me killing a condi thief at the beginning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhMVrb2-2cI
I have thief killing in quite a few of my vids. Even tho I’m in WvW the same concept pretty much applies. High Hp and a little bit of toughness is whats going to help you out. But you pretty much can’t do anything about the sh*tters that do the attack hide attack hide attack hide attack hide bs. Those are just bad players trying to be good. The one thing necro has to its advantage over every other class is chill and lots of it. Use that to your advantage. Life steal (even tho the naysayers says its worthless) is what my build is based around. And its not worthless if you know what youre doing.
Trying to do Buried Insight for the past 3 hours. Taimi got stuck on first one so had to restart. Then progress a little further in the story and get disconnected. Third time thru make it almost to the end and Taimi gets stuck again.
This game is already grindy enuf without having to the same boring story chapters over and over cuz anet can’t get coding correct. Bad enuf the imbalance in this game is horrendous and now you can’t even complete boring story missions.
Title says it all. I wish they would change the fight with Claw of Jormag. Of all the world bosses that gw2 has to offer, Claw of Jormag is one of the most boring boss fight there is simply because it isn’t very well thought out. Yes I know most world bosses can be cheesed but claw is just an awful world boss mixed in with abilities to test your patience.
From being tossed for ages, feared every 10 seconds and having that corrupt shield is awful enough but then comes the second part of the fight and this is where I would like them to change it at least. You can’t even get near him without freezing to death from his aoe. You have to wait for these robots to poke his feet with explosives until he gets stunned, then you can burn him. Otherwise your running back to the stack spot every time he fears you, just so you can throw your "1"s at him until his icy breath AoE disappears after having his toes tickled enough.
I’m curious to know what other people think.
I don’t see why you find this boring. All of PvE is boring.
What levels were the rares and the green item?
Can’t remember. Got them from chests and such from wvw i believe.
So I put in 4 random rares in the forge last night. Got a green back. How does that work? It wasn’t even a scythe or chainsaw skin. It was some underwater weapon you get from creature drops. It was worth a whole 3 silver on the tp.
Anything really, just general PvE. I’m just wondering if I’m overlooking something that would make it better.
I don’t use this in raids or fractals above ~60 though, I have a viper set for that.
this is my build i use in pve and wvw and w/e. youre runes of ranger 6 may be wasted. i dont think minions count as a companion. And minons are good for leveling but when youre 80 they are trash.

The wiki says Rune of the Ranger does include minions:
The game considers summoned NPCs to be companions; this includes minions.Your build seems a lot more tanky, is that why you use Marauder? But I wonder how much DPS you do compared to mine.
Actually its quite glassy, just higher hp. And I’d probably outlast you cuz of the higher hp. I use that cuz of wvw is reallyall i do. if i was full zerk like you id get one shotted constantly. in pve it doesnt really matter teh build tho. you can go around naked and be fine.

What exactly are you doing in PvE? Raids? Dungeons? Fractals?
dont expect much improvement. necromancer has been getting kitten on by anet since launch.
And necros still have the SAME exact complaints.
CC sponge
No bursty skill combos
Slow wimpy attacks
A plethora of unplayed utilities.Reaper made great strides, but the class is still pretty bad.
Maybe 2017 will be the year they fix necro /s
Don’t forget the consume conditions that has a 1 1/4 cast time that actually takes 3 seconds and is interrupted even after it is cast.
Stuff
I don’t do pvp cuz of the cancer there but I stream wvw on power reaper most of the time and I have plenty of vids on youtube. Here is one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmsR8ZSUBN8 .
My twitch is twitch.tv/nocturnallunacy
Altho since this new condi no skill meta has been out I havent been taking it very seriously.
get used to it. GS is a kitten weapon, and is easily countered because of bad design on all fronts.
Don’t take pvp seriously in this game, its a joke, and the reason that this game has such low twitch viewers, streamers, and tournaments have such a low turn out.
that got salty real quick
It’s true though.
Power builds are a dying breed but there are those that retain the skill to play them.
