Guild Wars 2

What are you expecting if they remove dodge, down state and add faster attacks??

I tell you what will happen. The new meta (I hate this word) will be warriors and guards.
Playing for example with an ele or thief is getting impossible. Classes with a low health pool and less defense (skills) are getting thrown out of the game, because you will need to use soldier gear to not die on every sneeze.

But if you look at other classes like Warrior or Guardian with great defense, big health pool or no need to give a f** about conditions, it won’t be a big problem to still run around with an offensive build using berserker or at least knight armor.

Today it’s possible to play with every class. Most groups want members to wear berserker gear. But there are other groups as well. (You can also make your own LFG – Don’t QQ because others are faster if you want to play in a defense way)

If they change the game like most of you want, it will be like: “XX p1. Only warri/guard with knight or zerk – NO LIGHT or LOW HP CLASS!!!”…
It would be a such great improvement. We would gain so much more diversity….

The current class distribution: (not sure if it’s up to date)

Please be constructive. Please no rising dusk “i like new change on lupi very interesting hehe”. Thank you.

Really? I genuinely have always felt that GL wasting his animation time casting his bolt spell in melee range was a contributing factor to the boss being so easy to deal with. This change, whether it’s a bug or a fix, contributes to making him a more interesting boss. That isn’t to say I don’t think there’s more could be done, but just because something changed doesn’t mean ANet is breaking it. It is fully possible that this specific change was intentional.

The other issues appear to definitely be bugs, and will be reported as such. I’ll also be bringing up the Lupicus change regardless of my opinion on the matter so that they’re aware of it if they feel it’s a bug.

“to making him a more interesting”

Goodbye necro solos. :P

Range condition solos will still work (can strafe the bolt)!

noo! have faith with HoT necros get great swords and able to oneshot it too with skill 1

but but but

if you need to time #1 for an oneshot – it would be reasonable and fair1!!11

Oohh if he “demands” you must IMMEDIATELY do something! dw next patch his melee atack hits gonna do area-arena-damage! keep it challenging! Puppu smash warriors!! LFG guardian! 3kap+

Can’t wait for the first LFG’s: “WTB Help at Lupi 5g! Req: Guard 5k+”

Yes we should play with a Guardian now.

I think Anet wanted to make us all Guardians when they invented the one-shot strategy.

I saw this post on another topic about the oneshot-“clever use of positioning and game mechanics”-strategy:
“Now that takes some actual skill, and I have great respect for players who manage to pull it off.”

It seems like onshotting Lupi is how the pro’s play today. No more mele, no need to dodge anymore. Get a wall and feel pro.
We could also try the old school ranged method. Was fun thou.

!!!
Anet pls stop that madness only because a few “unexperienced” players QQ.

Not sure if his laser should be like this. Its hitting everything infront and aside him. Range doesnt rly matter. I am pretty sure that a squirrel at Lake Feritas died too.

Also Seamus (CM P3) and Crusher (Arah P3) have some Area “weirdness” since the update.

Yes. Also had 25 might stacks permanent. 1 single 100b is enough for 25 stacks at a mobgoup.
Tested it with the immobilize at cripple trait & fury at immobilize. That gave me 97% crit chance with banner and perma fury.
I was using 10 30 0 30 0 if I remembered right
