Guild Wars 2

Jacaranda and Iboga for PvE and PvP.
But depends on how the dagger will work on life. Because the condiaplly was not enough to deal with most cleanses.
Jacarandas “lightning” cleave is awesome and the pull from Iboga can be awsome when enemy player doesnt have stab up.

it wont work that well because some teams are just incredible bad.
i can remember i afkd some games in the middle of a game like 100:300
and till the end i was still top dmg, attack, def or any other of these trophys.

I know how u feel.
Same happened to me yesterday. I was Plat 3 last S all done via SoloQ now i got thrown into Gold 3.
Got Plat 1 after placement matches and the 4 games after this were all loss.
-27 etc so basically got mixed up witch bronze guys.
And the games were uncarryable i mean 100 : 500 and so stuff.
people were not able to win +1 fights,
If MMR is kittenty like this pls give me 10min Q so i go unranked instead if there are no people with same skilllvl playing.
And TOP Players most of the time play Duo Q so the kitten such games kinda easily.

Its not cause of nec its cause of minion mancer.
this spec is completly uselss :/

As Nec both at the start. But 90% as Condi.

I would say cou can play all of them. But as Nec you shouldnt do the 1vs1 Stuff u are there for the DMG in Teamfights.

I was playing Plat 3 last S only Soloq with Drood and Nec its possible to play Nec solo but u have to be more aware of ganking.

Archaon.9524:

People freecapping close with more than 1 guy
Going boss at start (Or lord lol)
Keep 2-3v1ing on enemy’s point doing nothing
Losing 2-3v1
Going 1v1 with bunker guards
Can’t press F
Just zerging around leaving points freecap
Keep going 1v1 far and die without even decap
You hold or even win close 1v2 and your team already wiped 4v3 and lost everything (And everyone is just snowballing to you ofc)

And some others, but imo those are the main things that make going afk totally legit under any possible pow

word
there is no reason to hardtry carry a complete noobish player.

it was a litttle bit stupid it took about an hour till first matches were shown up :/

Aggrostemma.1703:

Dirame: exactly!

the problem is not the burn itself…. it’s the amount some professions can dish out in less then 1 second. Applying 6-10 stack of burn IS the problem. My preferred class is one of them (that’s why I do not play Burn guardian rather a hybrid) and the elementalist comes second.

I totally agree.
Old burning was kinda useless against most profs when they could cleanse a 12 sek Burn after 3sek. The way it deals now DMG now, seems much more fair than before. Now u can create “Condiburst”. And tbh walking trough the firewall of an ele is not the eles fault ….
The old pew pew Meta was even more kittenty cause thief > all other zerkerspecs.

All the passives are a little bit stupid. I also dont know who thought signet´s CD should toned down to 30sek and getting a 2 boon corrupt and 20% CDs reduce via trait.
Before Necs where kinda hardcounter to condi classes but now u have to bo completly kittened to lose to a condi prof. as nec :/

As long as there is Skyhammer and Spirit Watch in soloq it is realy hard to take it srs.
And if you wanna rewards people would only play one game to stay on there ranks and get the trophy.
If you q at the wrong time u will be already kittened especially when u are like top100 cause most of the time u will be mixed with lower mmrs.

Most builds use bigger marks now so u will get +20% boon duration with makes it 3,5sek Stabi. In this case only 1of10 stomps wont be successfull.
Before i stopped playing necro i always did shroudstomping and i think 5 of 100 managed to rupt it.

The shroudstomp/rez/channeling Buffs in temple is still doable.
u need the right timing here. first go into shroud then use your actionbutton. i needs some practise to get the right timing.
if you spec for stabi while shroud u have a safestomp every 10 sek. and while channeling a buff on temple u can fear of an incoming enemy or fear a guy away while rezzing.
u just need to practice. it a little bit tricky but not really hard to learn. ask some mates to go with u on a empty map and train it there. spec into 5sec cd on shroud so u can try it more often.

Is this NA Leaderboard?
Cause in EU there are also normal Condinecs and 2-3 Powernecs in the top100.
But MM i dont know one… :/

Offnode S/D Thief and on a node Warrior.
The thief is carried by strenght runes and the sigil procs while staying on SB and dancing around and the warrior is carried by the runes too, covering whole node with LB F1 ,with stances u dont have to worry about anything and if you cover him with condis he has CF.
This both classes are allowed to fail much more than other professions….

I think if only one guys reporting an other doesnt matter.

I do this verbal abuse to to let the steam off if something is getting completly wrong.
Like eles who decide to zerg between points. i wont ask if they be so gentle to do this on the node nope i would aks this like this:" can u kittening idiots tell me why u zerging between nodes?"
or “you bunch of kittens decide to fight guard 2vs1 and not able to beat him”
and so on.
i am working for the military i speak to people like man not like kittens.

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

cleansing fire will not help if the warrior has exhausted all various active defense and still have 10 freshly applied conditions are still ticking away.

well, cleansing ire is very good against conditions not applied in mass amounts.
conditions that are applied slowly, not massively, those types of condition attacks, cleansing ire and remove them easily.

We all know that the condiclean has a priolist.
The ones which deal damage will be romved first.
Bleeds/Poison/Burn/Torment
Most warris play with reduced movment impearing effects trait so crippling/chill doesnt really count as condi.
It doesnt matter if i can handle them or not but in my opinion it isnt fair that a warri can kitten up everything a LB1 will solve all the fails he has done.

In my opinion warrior in current state is made for these “special” people.
Their weakness conditions this is such a joke since they have cleansing fire.
You can play like a complete kitten getting 6seks of burn on you 15 stacks of bleed poison doesnt matter at all LB F1 will help u here.
I dont have a problem when there is a class which u can play with only rolling your head on keyboard, but why the hell the wars are talking about skill since they have the class which the lowest risk/reward abilitys.

Oidmetala.8426:

but it starts to makes zero fun when,
eles, s/d thiefs and warriors faceroll rangers with strengh runes, even when the player behind them is not really good.

I totally agree with this.
I wont say faceroll but they can make much more mistakes and even win… :/

The OPness of Ele or how it seems only come from this strength runes.
Without it, they would just be the same like the early DD-Eles good supportes, great in outlasting 1vs1 but at all unable to kill somebody in a decent time. The Runes carry a lot.
But its also the same with Wars, Thiefs or others who are able to stack a huge amount of might.
take this kittening runsets with mightdurtion out of pvp and you will see a huge difference. all the dmg nerfs to skills itself were coompletly useless since nowadays u can easily stack up might and getting awsome sigil procs -.-

Inscrutable.8347:

If it were worth my time to reinstall this game I’d transfer to an EU server just to 3-0 you 1v1 with all three classes of Mesmer, Warrior, and Thief.

Luckily for you I’m not. I’ll let Sylvester chase you around Tweety

Pls tell us if you wanna do this off or on a node.
Cause i was fighting a lot of thiefs in 1vs1 on beach of nilfhel and when they recognized i do very good evades they go on SB and kite me all day cause i can do kitten. Then i met them on node and it was a very big difference. Oh im talking about thiefs which skilllvl sizer and sizer himself.
Or lets talk about mesmer. Offnode they are able to kite, i play one on myself i know how it works and then you wont be able to get your condis off until they fail. On node they are very sweet.
Then lets see into warriors on node they are a pest. cause i have to play perfect to dont get stuned a single time and this awesome class can get tons of condis on him wont matter F1 LB ftw. Offnode i havent seen a warrior how was able to beat me 2 times in a row. Once yes, but only when i fail.
When you talk about 1vs1 pls go more into detail otherwise its just silly trolling.

1. BM has 0 Teamsupport if u are only succesfull to beat hambows witch BM change prfession for this meta.
2. I cant see offhand Training which is a must have in a meele based weaponset.
3. Always combine the weaponsets so that u have an evadeskill on each set.
4. Horn is usless in tpvp
5. u should always take wolf in tpvp to support you rezzes while other wanna stomp or at least the throwdown in 1vs1 when enemy is getting below 50% maybe rupt then u can go for the fear.

And a thing which is very important without the procs of sunspirit your bleeds will always be removed first when enemy has a condiclean like smite or the thiefs sword 2. and your pet can also proc it so u will lose a lot of dmg.

i tried BM / survival builds / shouts and spirits.
and spirits are still the best but in current meta u should only play ranger if you love the profession ….

MMR doesnt change but you will drop in leaderboard so you are supposed to play even if you are top25.

Inscrutable.8347:

Most of you ppl have no idea what chokepoints, kiting, peels, overextending, or LoS is, so how can you be qualified to determine what is OP or not, or if a class is viable or not.

The threadopener was playing in Tol btw.
We dont say ranger isnt viable, we say there are better options or easier to play professions which give better results.
But what i really hate are such son of a …. like you who insult others to be noobs.
You wont be able to play top 100 if you dont know how to kite, peel and blablabla , nbut i guess you where won of this tards which unload their whole burst in the rangerevadeskills while complaining how OP spiritranger or BM or whatever was.

there should be a point in options where u can decide that the asuramodel is shown as human or char sylvari whatelse. but atm it kinda sucks cause asuras have an advantage :/

T raw.4658:

I see ranger players are still holding to the farce of being the weakest class in the game.

Give it a rest already please. Rangers are more than adequate in ALL game modes and FAR from the worst

I wont say worst but on a decent level you have to play your ranger better than other professions getting the same results.
A lot of ranger rolled back to their eles cause eles give you better team support, more roaming abilitys and has better dmg output ( hi at rune of strength) and at least some AoE DMG.
If you dont love your ranger in the current state of meta you will reroll cause u can be more successfull with other professions.
I dont need a rangerbuff, i just dont wanna see faceroll speccs aka hambow played by beginners/noobs are able to beat a decent ranger…

In tpvp thief is a hardcounter to mes.
Maybe you are able to kill a thief as mesmer but most of the time u will have big troubles.

Darnis.4056:

Good 1v1

Every decent Player can be good in 1vs1 with every clas thats not based on the ranger profession itself.

Good Mobility,

Hell no, maybe if he uses hunters signet but we have no blink or others stuff.

Good Surviveability,

Based on 1vs1 skill, but we have no block or other stuff like mesmer F4.

Good at Laming people with his pet.

Maybe when using hunters signet otherwise the pet is to slow for doing great dmg or how u said to lame someone.

Good Condi application
Good DPS

in 1vs1 yes but we have no srs AoE

pls finally remove this kittening map ….!

I totally agree with you.
But to be honest i dont care about a viable powerranger build. If i wanna do pew pew i log on my mes.
As u said in tpvp BM is to much 1vs1 and has nothing for the team.
Spirits are still nice but i get sick off them.
Maybe ranger becomes an underdog clas again, doesnt matter.
Will play it forever, especially there are less people who know how to play ranger.

jportell.2197:

I have played warrior several times. Whenever I want to halfway afk I play my hambow warrior.

It is useless to discuss. Pls show me your tag when u hit 1st place in any kind of tourney with a “cheesy” class.
I have seen enough of this trolol spec xy is faceroll idiots failing hard.

Cause u wanna tell people they just have to reroll class xy and become progamers.
U tell them pew pew zerkers is skilled and the others are cheesy.
I guess u never had played ranger or warri before u just got screwed by them.
I hate it when people like you tell the people which class is faceroll and then they are kittening up completly in tpvp cause it isnt as faceroll as it should be.

The individual skill of the top team players is most of the time higher then the average players skilllvl.
Best example is soloq where you dont have your rotations.
You wanna tell us only zerker stuff is skilled stuff, so u will fap on one-hiting thiefs in WvW i guess.
Pls make a video which will show us u can beat the cheesy professions in 1vs1 mirror vs the top players, cause u said there is not much individual skill.

Then this is your opinion its okey.
It just shows me you have no idea about high ranking. Top Rangers and Warris will also be top with other speccs but these speccs would be less effective.
Telling me that a casual player would beat up a top gamer in 1vs1 situation with same spec / class is total BS sorry.

jportell.2197:

Cheese builds which require little to no skill and can just be picked up and ran with are

1. Warrior… (anything but killshot 100bros builds which are just hilarious).
2. Spirit ranger
3. MM Necro
4. PU/Phantasm Mesmer
5. Decap/Turret engi…

I always get a headache when i read something like this.
you wann tell us that every kittening idiot can be used to play the war / ranger in the topteams? like lets take a 80% ranger instead of níah and a 75% warri instead of róm?
thats bullkitten and you know it.
i can see u hate builds which screw you pew pew zerker classes.
this is GW2 not a shooter so deal with it.

QQ
the points in red or blue are the points from stomping and the nodes etc.
the points of the players are individual and to be honset dont matter anyways

so every player which isnt in leaderboard atm only has bad luck?
guys stop trolling me pls …

and 55HP have a ranger so what oO

Duran.3196:

creature.5120:

But if you wanna say becoming top100 player is only luck based, i have to denie.

It is, I was R17 3 days ago with my Elementalist,

And its just frustrating if you loose games with unfair matchups/ 4v5 or something like that

hitting it once doesnt matter you should be able to hold it too…

that was what i thought this would go only bersi eles + thiefs are pros and need ultimate skillcap ….

Wont say so. If i see that it is 200-300 the others are losing every teamfight and the only one who is still decapping and getting the nodes is me, i will start flaming.
It is kinda useless to move on when your mates arent able to win a single teamfight :/

If everyone is doing his best no one will flame.
But sometimes i dont get the people.
Likse useless zergingn between nodes, 3 people try to stomp same enemy, people waiting on node to get the points instead of support the others.
If you play on a decent rating u dont wanna see this noobie stuff and than yes you will get the flame

i think there are some classes which are easier to begin with.
Like necros or warriors.
But if you wana play on a decent skilllvl there isnt a class which is easy peasy.
And to be honest not every class is made for every player

Big Problem is the 4vs5.
Next big thing is the awesome Skyhammer map.
But if you wanna say becoming top100 player is only luck based, i have to denie.

I like it cause it is fresh air and it feels like playing a shooter.
5vs5 and 8vs8
i think best would be 3v3 or 5vs5.
you cant say anything about balancing in the current status.
on the one hand we have a new patch and on the other nobody is building srs teams and combos for TDM atm.
we have to wait a short period of time, than we can see how the balancing is working.
