War is the worst class… minion mancer is just a noob build, sorta like power ranger.
Once you dip into gold, playing bunker druid is a lot worse. You have to cheese because gold players will always be cheesing and getting cheesed. It doesn’t matter if you can bunker if your elementalist gets instakilled by a burning dh.
High gold and low plat is the difference between bot matches and ranked. and I always have some high damage/mobility characters to play if I dip below plat.

MM over 5 matches will be trash in any game. There is an international player by the name of dendi who went on a 14 game losing streak as an 8k mid player. Your average only matters across 150+ games.
It seems like if your 3 dudes can bunker mid, contesting far is actually meta.
To be fair, the less damage you do the better. You can tell somebody is a gold when they brag about their top stats in a similar manner.
Warrior is BY FAR the worst class in spvp right now. Nothing even comes close to be as bad as warrior is right now. Not much else to say here.
I soloed a paladins scrapper and an inspirations mesmer ins a match as a condi thief and lost. They werent lit or anything, just 100% to 0 and my allies to lost that.
This is coming from being in plat last season, these are my first match allies.
Whatever, I can get it again. I’m already stomping. But this mmr system is also screwing me. I lost 20 mmr with a literal bot on my team, and gain 12 on a normal win. Cool.

scourge is more hilarious to me imo.
You have a massive AOE cone that hits for 9k damage if you spec into it, and your f1 can deal over 5k damage.
I mean compare that slow power shiro staff spell that inflicts weakness to torch 4 on scourge lmao. Its day and night.
No you havn’t rofl. That’s not how the amps work.
You need to use the shadow arts tree noobs. You can crit for 17k damage.

Bro it should be free mmr
Space against them as condi mes. They only have one condi you need to be worried about, ez cleanse. Solid scrapper player should also be able to deal with them.
You cant really dodge roll their jump, but you can avoid the flame circle and dodge roll the torch throw. The flame breath doesn’t actually do anything outside of physical damage so you can facetank it.

How tf do you actually build tank necro? It is tanky and dps’s until it dies. Dagger?
At higher ranks his allies could straight up burst dps as a form of tanking for him, its not like you have some silver dh in your side dropping his sword auto attacks as he’s trying to chase you.
They are using an external program that’s innacurate.
How exactly did HOT move away from casual gameplay? You can kill most of the mobs 1v5 while afk. I can’t do any of the meta events without falling asleep. Spvp sure, wvw and raids just take a little time to learn.
I mean you can get map meta participation by pressing 1 while standing to the side of octovine and going afk for 15 minutes. That’s not exactly hardcore. Have you purchased dps gear? It’s like 30 gold for a whole set.

ele is a support bunker. For duel bunkers or straight bunkering, do healer rev/scrapper
Mes is the best soloq class rn, thief is second best.
He’s op in thief matchups and garbage against good players for many reasons. I am not gonna go into the details rn since im getting top 250 this season
…soo SOF will release mid season?
Prepare the builds boys
Can we get demos too?
It needs to have its thief 1v1 calmed down IMO.
Add weakness procs to shadow shot or heartseeker and some staff skills to make condi thief more sane…
Pmeh. I was at 1590 at one point, and there you have to both be lucky and grind.
I dipped down to gold a few times and stomped my way back up.
Hoping for a top 250 finish next season duoq.. its only 4 wins away at 1635… just gotta find a duoq partner.

As stated earlier, there us absolutly nothing wrong with voice comms and it WILL increase gameplay quality.
OW is one of the worst fps games ever made. There is no carrying nd the skill cieling is 2 inches off the ground, the game is completely u playable without voice comms.
Le toxicity doesnt matter at all, use the mute function if you have too. Im not asking anet to remove the open world because im triggered by how boring it is. Thatd just make the game worse.
(edited by duster.7013)
Nono, make it diff color per condi, bleed is effectivally worthless
I played war in season 5 and they got pooped on by a good dh, doesn’t matter what your build is or how good you are. They then nerfed war way too hard and gave dh a slap on the wrist, all while silver scrubs where complaining about warriors “stunlock kills”.
Anet needs to include a minimum MMR in the pvp forums if you ever want warriors to be good.
No, nobody is dying to a single lotus, and top 250 players can deal with it easilly. It’s in low plat where players just stand in the poison clouds, and if you don’t do that condi thief is a lot weaker.
Go play a bounding dodger build for a bit and then complain
I’m not saying we need 20 seconds in between combos, just that maybe you don’t have to ALWAYS be using one.
It being hard to watch goes away once you learn the spells.
Look, auto attacking is not interesting. You would objectively make the game more boring by raising all cooldowns. At that point the first person to drop a spell lost the fight. There’s no skill to watch or counter play or anything if your CD’s don’t overlap.
But #/shrug the lies some GW2 PvP players tell themselves to sleep better at night. Dota and LoL has a skill ceiling soo much higher then GW2 that GW2 thinks god it self takes dumps on it. Smite even does the same.
I have thousands of hours in both dota and league. The games are more popular because they are more casual. There’s a reason cs is more popular than xonotic/cpma, and minecraft is more popular than starcraft 2. Also trying to use the “it’s good because it’s popular” is a tell as to how new you are to gaming arguments.
Again, go play dota soloq support only for 1 thousand hours and come back here and tell me we should have less spells so that we have to rely more on allies. Until you do that your balance input is worthless. I don’t know a nice way of conveying this because i’ve already told you this.
That experience is worth a lot, becuase you get to see 2k players attacking mid lane creeps for two smokes in a row.
@defied
Guardian is a good baseline, its war who’s awful. War lost the DH matchup back in season five and they’ve been nerfed harder than guard for the last few patches.
(edited by duster.7013)
10 seconds of no boons at all is outright deadly to those classes.
So he’s basically pre-hot rampage warrior? He has a damage combo that takes “skill” (see: enemy that doesn’t have stunbreaks) and an elite skill and that’s it.
I mean if you guys figure thisll be op then go ahead and run it, but it’s basically a free kill to my thief.
I say no to nerf creep until you can propose ways to actually increase strategic depth in a fight. You’re not actually expected to land sick mlg interupts.
Lolno, its a cute anti bunker thats only good in birst. It’ll be about as scary as current power shiro; not scary at all. I mean war with infinite resistance isn’t scary at all, just walk away from them. I can imagine this war getting deleted by any condi build in the games second rotation.
in terms of upcoming CANCER levels…
guard > mesmer > engineer > necro > ranger > ele > thief > war
Rev is a question mark for now, but I have zero concern about war. I don’t know if they can even fully boonstrip rev + ele/druid.

Thank you for the easy mmr. I sincerely appreciate it.
All these corny cheese plays are fun. I havn’t played it in ranked though. What is/isn’t cancer? Plat conquest has its own cancer/shutouts, so it cant be that bad.
Bronze players saying git gud is a non word. Bots right now are literally placing into silver. I guarauntee you I could 1v1 these people and win 100% for like 7 days straight.
You can deal with it temporarily by going into practice lobbies and testing out hitboxes.
Like on foefire north side of mid, there are two spots you can blink up to but you cant blink up to the middle. Khylo blinking is completely kittened until you know how to do it.
It’s an objective fact that voice comms improve ranked gameplay in soloq. Only reason they wouldn’t implement it is """toxicity""", aka capitalism.
This has been suggested a lot of times in the past, or better yet making wvw occur in the real world as a mist invasion (it won’t ever happen due to bandwidth)
For some reason pver’s have lots of objections to the open world being interesting.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/How-to-make-the-game-world-more-interesting/first
Rift and eve have much more immersive open world pvp. I would consider even bothering leveling on the maps if I got to see wvw battles taking place via a mist war or something. Flagging for pvp in open world is a waste of time imo. There’s no point by then.
(edited by duster.7013)
It’s not going to “feel” impactful when you’re new to pvp. If you wanna cast 4 spells and “feel” pro then you can play dota or league. We’re not lowering our skill cieling for you.
Seriously. You have four spells if your team is remotly competant and you’re trapped in the match for an hour. Go play 1k hours in dota only playing support, then come back here and tell me you want “less, more impactful spells.”
(edited by duster.7013)
Anything below plat doesn’t matter in terms of balance at all. If you can’t balance it from plat up then its a waste of time.
Eh with gw2’s balance 2v2 would suck. 2v2 is fun but you’d need a total overhaul.
Even with the total overhaul, 2v2 is worse for class balance than 5v5 because there are more fringe scenarios in 5v5 where a build can wiggle in wins now and then. If we do have 2v2 as primary balance, you will have WoW style balance problems where certain classes are just trash for months on end.
I mean right now, nobody would ever die in 2v2.
(edited by duster.7013)
So, should the new elite specs only be allowed to be selected as a third tier, like hot? From what I assume you can’t choose both, since the firebrand has new virtues.
>yes
There are more net builds and diversity in spvp, you might wanna adjust leaderboards to say top 20 players for each build.
>no
there’s more tactics/spells/net mixups in each match, but only one build per class.
Oh my goodness.
“I remember when legendary rank meant something.” “I remember when Ranked queues were fun and competitive.” “I remember when Match Manipulators weren’t ruining the matchmaking and making it horribly unfair for people just solo queueing.”
You’ve clearly not played ranked before, and not in other seasons for sure. Legendary has only mattered in the last few seasons and it was literally worthless before.
…
15s of a bunker guard standing on an uncontested point while there is cricket noise
POTG would have hilarious salt generation in gw2.
>a condi thief spamming 4 on nilfel mid while not even strafing
>a full trapper dh killing somebody with ult while somehow missing their auto attacks
>A scrapper just doing normal scrapper things on mid
I do think the best teams should face the worst first for better finals, just have an elimination bracket.
Its not like this is ESL where you lose money for more rounds.
For training, duelling > unranked. Duel server players are usually low plat and unranked is usually like silver.
Use the condi mes build on metabattle, and ask people in duel servers to show you the ropes.
Only 32 teams was in the tourney, even less in NA. Maybe anet dont need to hand out 500g and a obnoxious crown to people for “achieving” something in a dead gamemode. People have no interest in making teams for pvp.
I guarauntee you everybody soloqing in plat WISHED they were playing at’s with a 5stack instead. Finding a team is hard.
War is the worst class in pvp rn. There are fringe scenarios where their gs mobility and armor add up, but they really are outshined by most other classes.
For soloq, condi mes is the best rn. DH is the most popular soloq class. Power shiro is fun but is awful till you learn it well.
