“You are the exception”
I had a chuckle.
Ya, WWW is broken but its the only part of the game worth play at all.
Would love them to address: skill lag, stacking, down state, class balance as a bare min, but I dont expect it and am only playing here and there waiting for other games to launch.
I will probably never try an mmo that tries to launch with 3-4 modes of gameplay that are all after thoughts and bolt on check boxes.
I will probably not buy future new products from anet, I have been patient long enough, they simply don’t get it or are not willing to spend time/money to fix the game.

I would guess that http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Bowl_of_Seaweed_Salad
was used for +10% more damage
Trying to have “scoring” and trying to make rvr a week long WoW battleground are part of the fail.
- Hiding player names
- No kill spam / tracking of real fights
- Rewarding zergs with Stacking, downed state, and flipping empty keeps
- Stupid small maps
- No instanced pvp scenarios/bgs for our real toons to play in whan rvr is either slow or is full of soccer moms flipping empty keeps
And yes, its time to delete spvp.
lol @dominik.972 You appear determined to miss the point.
Remember, the OP was asking about PvE. You seem to be fixated on a limited aspect of the game and judging everything, builds, players, etc. according to what works best in that limited niche.
Pve does not matter, so who cares.
Its all about the cash shop, they rotate over buffing various classes so people reroll and need to regear, great time to sell gems, bag slots, etc.
It makes no sense til you realize its all about the bottom line
Reckless dodge seems to work less than 20% of the time, charges/rush only work under very specific lag conditions, but don’t worry they made adreniline decay faster.
My primary character at launch was a Mesmer. I still enjoy playing it. I have no pity for you when it comes to generating your resources and losing those resources when you use your Class Ability.
Come talk to Mesmers when your adrenaline disappears because a stray AOE or bouncing attack hit it once.
I just recently created a Warrior and am leveling it up despite the *-fest people are having over the patch. It’s ridiculous.
If people are going to gripe … at least do something useful like: “To compensate for this, here is a build that still works”.
Instead, all I see is “changes are making me have to change” … duh.
And? If you have a gripe about Mesmers go to Mesmer forums.
Very little relationship to the mechanics and how the classes use them, but obviously you are here to troll
I can live with most of of it, but the decay rate is stupid and in world of blindcraft the loss on miss is pretty bad for wvw.
More “not fun in general additions”, is not what a nearly dead game needed
It still amazes me how a class that is decked out in heavy armor wielding a 2 handed great sword is more mobile than most of the light armor wearing classes (eles excluded here).
It amazes me Thieves in med armour are the games ultra heavy duty evasion tanks.
And now we sit broken for 6 months, while the devs wait and see how it players out or some nonsense.
But hey they spent some time on the gem store interface!
troll thread for bad players of other classes to “discuss” how they want to nerf another class.
In game where thief is a ultra heavy duty double duty evasion tank, plenty of stuff to fix first
Wow, you are rewarded for hitting your foe, what a nonsense!
No unjust rewards are downed state giving short term invulnerability buff.
or suppling endless evasion to high output dps classes
All this time I thought you lost all your adrenaline if you missed, so ironically this doesn’t change anything for me.
You not knowing how it worked did not change how it actually worked for you.
Yes, it will change for you.
I can see the decay on leaving combat…
But changing Adrenaline loss on miss… in game full of unhittable, endless porting, stealthing, blinding, evasion tanks …
seriously?
Why are you growing tired of Guardian?
I think the warrior has a more no-nonsense to-the-point play style, more so than others. You can pretty much enjoy being OP and laugh at others who struggle and put in 10x more effort to achieve less of a result. All in all the warrior doesn’t have much when it comes to saving allies aside from gimmicky traiting; warrior support is pretty much strictly offensive with some CCs here and there for peeling enemies off allies. The GS as far as I know is great in all these areas but takes more skill in PvP and WvW.
You played for one hour pugging and now are giving out expert advise, interesting
LOL warrior is by far the easiest class to master… All warriors just want to think it takes skill.. when in fact a monkey after 2 hrs can play it well…
It only takes one hour on guardian, so its twice as hard.
Game has been out for over a year…
get ’er done
the op is a warrior from jq, he has a toon on bg he uses to send tells after he gets wrecked 1 v 1.
he starts in on the excuses right away, he always dies cause of some count of players in the area lol.
He actually died due to eviscerate => weapon swap => final thrust that insta gibbed him, but its all magic to him and he starts send out tells on his bg toon with his status set to not online, lol
Changing matchups is for instanced pvp.
The issues lies in making the world v world sandbox all anon no name flavourless fighting.
Rvr is is about fighting people and earning in game infamy. Sadly here the focus is on flipping empty keeps and a strange attempt to turn the game play into a 3 way Alteric Valley.
took months of slow careful buffs, then one giant nerf down?
I really dont want warrior to play like an npc with big slow easily dodged attacks and herky jeky animations, ala the toxin baron npc
mace is not doing high damage or aoe damage/cc, not sure why it needed to be nerfed too.
spvp is just practice mode for testing wvw builds.
World pvp always snowballs to one side or the other, this is old news.
This game wants huge massive trains of pvers getting unlocks on empty keeps for its game play. This is called “Seasons”, they think this and 24 hour coverage is what world pvp is about.
even better dont have a season 2.
why nail the coffin shut on the game?
It gave us nothing but bad matchups and pve karma train players.
did nothing but promote bad game play and queues. quality of fights dropped dramatically.
Sad part is, they dont care. Expect it to get rammed down our throats again, players are not part of the process in this game.
We did not “win” anything.
A month of bad match ups and karma trains is a huge loss.
I have never seen a game so out of touch to the player base.
Maybe we make a set of real wvw servers without seasons, that also show player names and kill counts in zones. If you take an empty keep you get nothing.
I was messing with this:
Energy sigils and signet of stamina provide endless dodging, with better mobility, burst and stuns you can land. Final thrusts of 8k on you stun target seal the deal.
Cause its heading in the wrong direction, debating how far in the wrong direction does not change it.
Sandbox game play is about the players. Rvr/world v world is about tactical fighting in the open field.
Do stuff to setup up better fights, not load up people leveling and doing jumping puzzles.
The servers cant handle big fights, its time to spread out the fighting not draw in millions of tourists.
To the OP, this has little to do with PvE’rs and more to do with WvWvW being more meaningful, which is what everyone wanted/wants.
And I waited 2 hours to get into wvwvw on Friday and 1 hour yesterday. Had a great time in wvwvw once I got in. Some awesome battles. Edit: And I’m on arguably the #1 server.
No wvw is not “more meaningful” lol.
Moooar warm bodies autoattacking, while farming achievements is not good game play.
This is on top of the failed concept of trying to make rvr/wvw about becoming a wow battleground. Might as well make multiple instances of it and have it last 30 minutes.
Instead of making it about pve or a battgleground, try making maps bigger, show player names and make it about small to medium tactical world fights vs other players you develop rivalries with.
The content is the people, not achievements or flipping empty keeps at 3am. until devs start to understand that, its jsut gonna get worse.
We are now at a new low now with these monster queues just to get the the autoattack lag fest.
trying to push pve, and/or transform wvw into a battleground is either an amazing lack of insight, or a desperate attempt to get an “esport” going. its obviously not gonna happen in spvp.
If you want to make an esport, make new instanced battlegrounds for real world toons, and keep it out of wvw.
people would loved instanced pvp for their real toons, vs the who cares mode of spvp zzzzzz
Ground hog day. Really frustrating to have devs that flat out dont get pvp.
btw: ESO will blow, only hope is Camelot Unchained, but we shall see.
No. Amazing they are not getting it. Its not surprising to see they think trying to turn it into a long battleground is a good idea as well.
Sword is ok, it could use fixes to the blademaster trait, both to fix the crit chance increase not showing up (hopefully or maybe it does not work) and to reduce sword cooldowns to make it worth taking.
I don’t have time in my day for your infantile internet posturing and duel challenges. And I have far more /age than you, FYI.
Actually you need to man up and go to the duel or stop talking smack.
Not even going to scroll back to read either of your posts, the game provides a clear venue for demonstrating your skills, time to get in the ring.
The video is cooked ie 2 warrirors one massively buffed, the other massively debuffed and downed the victim has to use haste to give himself the debuff of +25% damage on himself.
You probably had tons of vulnerability stacked up on you as well, but ya glass warrior can hit hard, oddly eviscerate hits not as hard as kill shot (you would think a melee burst would hit harder than a ranged.. but ya)
With all the obvious skull cracker builds running around this ancient goodie has made its way back around again
(edited by dooger.2640)
I am full melee as well but u dont see me with 500 healing per second.
Warrior does not have god mode evasion
1 thief can kite evade an entire faction after him in wvw for hours.
No worries thief god mode is still unchecked.
one of your sets is either gs or 1hs or you are a sitting duck.
Only exception is dueling melee or something where you know you can get away with mace/shield + hammer.
Nor can you use food to increase duration either, You’re still removing Poison at a fairly fast rate..Though I do love the whole “What about SPvP” route you guys love to take.
Not sure if we are playing the same game
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Bowl_of_Garlic_Kale_Sautee
How pray tell are you immune to poison?
By running anti condition runes and food?
That tends to help..
Though I suppose you might be screwed if you ran across a Thief who just wanted to Choking Gas on top of you a lot.
Not that you couldn’t just remove it by Skull cracking him in the face though (since that’ll remove it)
Funny i have poison with 10+ second duration pretty commonly despite food and melandru.
Please go actually play the game instead of sitting here running your mouth proving your ignorance.
Any class can use these, and your class can use +duration runes and traits, just like power builds stack power and crit damage to beat AC.
or hey:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Fancy_Truffle_Burger
You are a confirmed bad player at this point, please seek help in your own class forums and guild, we cant help you here.
(edited by dooger.2640)
100 blades is massive burst? your team cant stop a channeling player thats rooted?
I can almost imagine your entire guild getting burned down by one warrior standing there in front of your zerg trying to get off 100b. Your entire zerg just stands there screaming into vent, omg get him off us, we can’t dodge, simply step backwards or instantly gib/cc him. roflmao.
No, seriously stop being bad, 100b is the easiest to stop or avoid attack in game. It can work in spvp, but lets not pretend the warrior is not standing there wide open to be instantly gibbed in wvw/large scale fighting.
go try it. it will take what 30 seconds to set up build and runes?
prove it without using WvW 40% food as the basis for the argument.
You got 100 durped and you dont know why you failed?
I think you skipped a few steps:
Step 1) you spotted a warrior and you know its a trivial kill
Step 2) look to see if he has a mace and shield, oh noes you can’t just press 2 over and over!
Step 3) while he has mace and shield out he is a trivial kite, step back and or dodge as he runs up and tries to skull crack
step 4) either hit stability and pound him, or kite around a bit
step 5) After kiting a bit, the warrior will try to get mobile and pull out gs, whirlwind is a straight line spinning attack, simply step to side to avoid some or all of it. He has no cc with gs, pound his lights out or continue to kite and emote.
Step 6) If you are speced to be an “unkillable wing armed, no damage troll”, realize you have to reset and get a friend who knows how to properly spec, you would get exact same result fighting other heavy ac classes like guardian.
Step 7) If you are speced to do some damage, your classes superior avoidance and damage should overpower this easily countered build. Again kite mace, pound gs, simply take a step back if they 100 durp you
Remember 100 blades has warrior rooted, leaving him wide open to everyone on your team. What other class has to stand there helplessly trying to channel damage as their “burst”?
What a joke you honestly can’t counter a pve only attack in a gimick chain?
(edited by dooger.2640)
For all the insults being thrown at us “whiners”, you have failed to provide any evidence at a proper counter to this build, or provide any justification why a single build can provide superior DPS, sustain, mobility, CC and immunity to conditions AT THE SAME TIME.
Garbage build, kite mace and obvious skull crack, simply step back from 100 durps.
Its only danger is if you were already fighting someone and the warrior is an add to the fight.
At that point any burst damage class is a huge problem, even the most garbage thief in the world can literally close his eyes and press 2 and burst you faster.
you should try god mode thief dagger pistol
Both thief and warrior are at medium-low skill cap. Thief doesn’t even know how to counter warrior with his d/p build, warrior just killing a thief that doesn’t even know what is he doing. I would suggest you to change your title to "Defektive’s “How To”: 1v1 a (midium-low level) Thief", I understand you are trying to help the community, but if you really want to watch a real good fight, you need to watch Anas Tarcis v.s. Caed. That’s a real call for good warrior v.s. good thief.
Additional links are always good as different style may resonate with different players.
The video did illustrate several sound key points any way you slice it: getting burst on and being able to come back, understanding thieves start a fight strong (full init) and warriors weak (zero adren = zero regen), and surviving initial onslaught, etc. All great material for new warriors, and everyone once in a while to rethink how the yare playing.
If he had titled the video How I beat thieves 100%, then there is an issue :P.
Now if we were paying him to make the video, clips of losses would be included for discussion on errors and sources of improvement. Losses often are the best place to review your game play, review what the enemy did, and determine changes if any that are needed. Thieves are very beatable, its about the basic win % and ability to recover from an error that maters for a class. Good thieves typically can reset a fight as needed to recover from mistakes, Warrior sometimes can reset vs a thief..
I do wish we had better combat logs to review after a loss (option to show heals dots would be interesting in some cases)
Seeings how we did not pay him, I would say its a fine addition to gw2 warrior library (now there is a great project for someone to create a solid set of links)
(edited by dooger.2640)
I hope the nerf it, thiefs have rly no chance against this and they are already weak.
if you hang around when you run out of tricks and get caught in cc, well ya its gonna hurt. One trick pony builds are very strong when the warrior is an add to a fight.
Watch for the skull crack, Dont stand in 100b, very worse case run away reset the fight, practice emoting, then come back.
When you come back, backstab then press 2 over and over and over. Dont worry it hits harder every time, and closes the gap for you.
Now in the old days you would win automatically, now you need to avoid the warriors cc. so instead of pressing 2 over and over and over, poof after you hit the warrior, and if at anytime you get low hps reset the fight.
if you were glass it would hit for 20k.
Its a big old giant pve telegraphed Shoooooooooooooooooooooot
soon as you see an enemy looking like he is pooping with a stick in his hand get ready to duck
If anything, it’s more of a gimmick than it is useful.
I fully understand what you are doing, and the relative levels of abuse that can range from minor glitching => abusing poor game mechanics => exploiting defects => 3rd party hacks.
Obviously an esport cant have any of it going on and be legit. The consequence of using a minor glitch is the shades of grey, it puts you in bed with the heavier duty offenders.
Anyways it was a good video, I am clearly not saying the banner was the key to anything you did.
I do hope arenanet clears up the large scale exploiting and glitching at some point.
The game play should not all revolve around working a bug, warnings and patches need to go out faster (bugs always pop in, thats life, no good team should touch them).
(edited by dooger.2640)
Regarding Warrior banner, it’s a bug.
Devs don’t see it as an issue when we showed them it almost 2 months ago.
So now I use it as perma swiftness for the group when we’re roaming.
When something isn’t working as intended and you’re taking advantage of it, then it’s an exploit. It often takes? devs a long time to get around to fixing issues. Just because they don’t act immediately doesn’t mean it’s not an issue. I don’t care either way. Just don’t try and sugar coat it. Own up to what you’re doing.
Ok. I’m using a bug to exploit swiftness for 4 seconds. There are worse things to deal with at a high level then watching a player spend 2seconds to get 4 seconds of swiftness.
No one cares.
100% not true. Don’t want to see cheating in a game trying to be an esport, period.
Yup there are bigger exploits going on, no that does not make other cheats ok suddenly.
The devs will have to pick priorities at some point, I think they picked pve sadly
(edited by dooger.2640)
Imo, warriors provide cc and mobility. We dont have to die so fast anymore, but overall seem “off” is the best I can describe it.
Traited warhorn is still warriors best group support, and you gotta go 20 points into the self nerf tree for it.
