pro players [..] don’t main it

That’s all we need to see here.

Over to you, Arenanet.

Many “pro” players still main it, and in fact most warrior mains who played pro league are now rerolling to it (Obindo, Vans and Rayzen).

I noticed that the match is Stronghold. If the 5 man team went in ONLY selecting Stronghold, and have deliberately selected their team for this game mode, it can be nearly impossible to win against them with random PUGs. The other team will know exactly what each team member is doing, have chosen their builds to match, while you have nowhere near the kind of coordination or preparation they have made.

If it’s any consolation though, such a team probably had to wait for close to 30 mins for their queue to pop.

Yeah, my bad. In Stronghold you’re generally correct as people try-hard there a lot and as a gamemode it’s far more reliant on team coordination. However, sometimes Stronghold is just people joking around though too, if that’s any consolation.

Otherwise, Conquest is still very carryable

It’s unranked I highly doubt they used comms.

Most likely a guild challenge or just playing as a group for fun, no need to cry

Clearly no 3/4/5 mans in your mmr bracket were queueing so the game did this. Usually, however, due to queueing as 5 they’ll be matched vs better players too to balance it out – so it shouldn’t have been that bad.

Tbh it’s another l2p issue. In my experience the worst players and easiest games are vs 5mans because they’re generally lower mmr. This should be a very carryable game.

Your tier list

in PvP

Posted by: iTz Joshz.3961

iTz Joshz.3961

I couldn’t put them in tiers but the ideal comp is:
Thief
Mes
Necro
Ele
Engi
This comp is only good for organized teams, not pugs
Rev is unplayable even in condi, (gets rekt by thief and necro)
Druid comes in 3rd as a support class
DH is ok but meh
War is pretty good overall, but there are definitely better options

In soloq, I don’t know what a good comp is, but maybe replacing the Mes and Engi with Guard and War, something like that.

As someone who has been playing & watching the scrims on EU over the last few days and as someone who messes a lot with comps I’m sorry but this isn’t really true. The only teams who are even potentially running that comp are [rawr]&[sen] and a lot of other teams are running something else. Most of which are doing pretty good.
So I’m not sure yet if anyone can say for sure that this is the “ideal” comp.

Regarding the rev thing… rev is fine. In fact the current team winning most scrims (rawr aren’t scrimming the majority of teams so I can’t comment on them) is running a rev. Not going to out them but for reference they’re thief/mes/rev/ele/druid.

I still don’t get why he’d take CoP over PF though? Losing AoE burn burst + AoE cleanse and condi reduction for some unneeded cleanse and a few boons seems like a bad trade to me but maybe there’s something I’m missing.

I sort of see the point with the cover conditions (could also take fallibility to cover) however bulwark is a huge buff, and an extra cripple and pure dps increase doesn’t seem to be?

@iTz Joshz.3961:

After about 100 games on Necro I became aware of its limitations, and after another 50 games or so I started to try and kite, stop tunnel visioning and trying to develop map awareness. It’s definitely been significant to my survival.

(Yes, you see, a slow learner)

A lot of the stuff mentioned tell me I’m headed in the right direction, so I’ll see how far your advice will take me. Thanks.

Sounds good man! If you’re already aware after 150 games then you’ve definitely got great potential.

If you can, try and watch some videos of top necs or watch them ingame. I don’t have any links at the moment but in terms of names the best are Misha/Sinid in my opinion but Moldrael/Prototype/Imda/Nweo are also great (Obindo, Aurora and Grimkram play Necro a bit too). If you can get a chance to see any of them play (today’s tournament might be a good one) then take it if you can and try learn some tricks!

snip

80% of that wasn’t in regards to 1v1.

But as far as 1v1’s, are you saying you are good enough to win 1v1 vs most other classes? If so, I’d like to see it. Maybe send me a friend invite and I’ll visit your server and watch you do some 1v1’s. I have shadowplay so I can even record the games so you can show other people how well necros are at 1v1s. Sound good?

Trust me. If all you need to do is “get gud”, I’m willing to change my narrative. Just some proof would be swell.

Hit me up ingame whenever and I’ll 1v1 Sinid and you can see how he plays, he’s a god.

And if he can’t I’ll warm up my nec and go for it, idm.

P.S.
In terms of 1v1 tips I’d say be careful about your condi queueing (first condi applied is last removed) as it’s extremely important as a Necro. You want your bleeds and weakness to be the first applied condis so that they’re covered and hard to cleanse. I’d also say that you generally want to use Shroud as utility (kiting with shroud 2 vs melee classes in 1v1s is often better than using it offensively as it allows for more dps to be dropped after for example) and not just your rampage button.
Use your dodges wisely and rotate cooldowns to allow for continuous sustain. Death shroud is your free hp but that doesn’t mean you should let people bomb you in it. Dodge and avoid high condition and damage attacks while in shroud as being condi bombed during it is a recipe for disaster (even if it looks like you have a lot of hp left you’ll be forced to blow cds or waste all your shroud, at which point youre open to burst).
Timing your shrouds is also key to surviving, so be careful with this (dropping shroud while LoS and jumping up to a kite spot is quite nice as you usually have time before they catch you again for shroud to cooldown).

You’ve probably heard most of it before but I hope there’s one or two new tips there

It’s fairly hard to believe someone would vouch for something with no personal stake in it. If you’re selflessly calling out on these crimes in your crusade, then you are a better person than I am.

I know myself well enough that if I don’t see something tied to my benefit in some way I’m not going to make a move.

Anet have in fact removed people from the leaderboards for violating the rules.

In general the leader-boards are mainly legitimate as well – although there is some win-trading at higher tiers.

Basically, you’re blowing a tiny problem out of proportion. Stop being salty that “cheaters” are preventing you from being where you think you deserve to be. In reality you’re bad and you’re insecure about your skill level, suck it up and move on.

As soon as you sad the bad, you’re insecure you lost all credibility. Never once did I ever say I was high and mighty just point out a fact. Cool story though cheater apologist. Next

I never said you were high and mighty. What I said was that you were insecure, which – coincidentally – seems to be a word you don’t understand, considering the fact that you just called me insecure for a simple assumption which in no-way related to myself.

You’re an idiot, you can’t even speak English, and you’re obnoxiously ignorant.

Have fun with your toxic attitude.

Calls me ignorant with ignorant comments and statements I’ve seen it all now. Have fun being a white knight. I hear if you go to feminist rallies, you might be able to get yourself a women that finally won’t cost you.

Btw I said everyone has insecurities you dim wit. Guess I can add you being a straight up narcissist to the list for you.

The whole life isn’t fair comment, no life is kittening really dark and kittenty many times throughout. Don’t call it competitive SPvP then if it isn’t fair, don’t even include it that’s the point. You’re projection isn’t going to phase me one bit you narcissistic sheeple. Can’t even spell English eh? So I guess I need to add this in like you right ? Emoji’s ftw, you millenial piece of crap.

FIrst of all, I have no idea what you’re talking about with the “Can’t even spell English eh?” as I amn’t aware of any words which have been spelled wrong in my replies so far in this thread. Although, it may be a good idea for you to check your own spelling; as it’s not “women” when in the singular, it’s “woman”; “you’re” is incorrect too as it implies I’m the projection – what you’re looking for is “your”. This one implies possession, therefore telling the reader that you’re referring to my projection.

Second of all, on what grounds are you even attempting to call me a narcissist? Because, once again, it feels like you – a kid (or an adult, but I’d hope to god you’re not an adult…) who has yet to yet to justify even a single of his claims – have resorted once again to what you might deem to be “complex” vocabulary in an effort to defend your dwindling self-image. However, the flaw in this strategy seems quite clear: you have absolutely no idea what these words mean.

However, as I’ve said before I’m well open to being proven wrong. So explain to me why I’m insecure and why I’m a narcissist and I’ll be happy to admit it!

And finally, in regards to your replies I would like to question the fact that you still fail to even kittenly engage in debate. You’re devolving your own arguments to irrelevant references and cringe-worthy slang without even further developing your points. You become so focused on badmouthing me and saying dumb kitten like “you might be able to finally get a women…” (kept spelling mistake in as it’s a quote) that you fail to realise the stupidity of it. The way in which I write should quite clearly tell you that I’m well educated and therefore wealthy, while also most likely decently intelligent as well. The combination of those alone mean relationships aren’t hard to come by, but maybe you’ve yet to see that as you haven’t engaged in one yourself? I don’t know anything about you so I’m not making an assumption there. I’m just struggling to understand what’s going through your mind when you write such immature horse-kitten. To be blunt, I honestly think you’d have to be fairly naive to believe I struggle socially considering the obvious ease in articulating my thoughts – something you perhaps might want to work on.

Also, your use of words like “sheeple” immediately stink of paranoia, and, to be completely honest, immediately convey an image of some pathetic forum warrior who comes here in his time off from 4chan to belittle some kiddies with their Merriam-Webster Dictionary “Reet” edition. But as I’ve said you should’ve, I’m going to follow this immature little jab at you with the disclaimer that I do not know you, and would be perfectly happy to find this is untrue, however, as I’ve said, this is just what your personality – as portrayed through this argument – seems to resemble.

Have a good life mate.

I never said you were high and mighty. What I said was that you were insecure, which – coincidentally – seems to be a word you don’t understand, considering the fact that you just further proved it to be an accurate description of yourself. Your hypersensitivity to my comment on your skill-level is exactly the kind of thing I’m talking about.

To clear this up, I called you insecure because what your post screamed to me is: “These people are on the leaderboards, and I’m not. I should be because I’m really good but they’re cheating and that’s why they’re ahead of me.” Generally players that carry this sort of mindset are egotistical, and mostly without reason. However that egotism stems from – in most cases – a lack of achievement. The players that do this have but one reason: to convince themselves that they are that good, and that there’s no way they could be at some low rating by their own doing. They believe that there always has to be someone to blame, or something. In your case this is the “cheaters”. However, what you need to acknowledge is that these people are generally at their respective ratings due to queueing well, something you seem to have failed to accomplish.

Have fun with your pathetic narrative you persist to protect. Life isn’t always fair mate, but that doesn’t mean it’s always unfair. Cheating isn’t as easy as you seem to think, and if it was as prevalent as you seem to imply then I don’t think it would be as uncommonly spoken of as it is right now.

However, if you happen to have some huge archive of proof of all these cheaters then I’d be happy to admit that I was wrong – on the condition, of course, that you’d be so kind as to show me it

P. S. I’m pretty fed up with people like you so I’m going to be blunt.

You’re a fool. You attempt to insult me after failing to even understand my comments and can’t even spell half the words right. You’re also infuriatingly ignorant. In short, you’re toxic.

If you have something to add to community, feel free to. However this horseshit you’re attempting to pedal isn’t adding any value to these forums, the community, or the game – as you failed to even include some form of proof of your accusations in your post, without which your arguments lack even an ounce of foundation.

Pvp guilds.

Posted by: iTz Joshz.3961

iTz Joshz.3961

There are a lot but most are inner circle (just friends, usually close friends) only now, and they’re smaller than what you’re probably used to. Most are hard to get into for the obvious reason that while being a guild for PvP they’re also mainly just for friends.

However, there are still a few ones that recruit actively and are large enough as far as rosters go. On EU for example there’s Easy Wins [EZ] and Tough Muffins [YuM] which are both decently sized from what I’ve heard, there’s also a few more I just can’t think of them off the top of my head.

Also, for the “top-tier” players there’s Black Suits [BlaC] which is decently sized and kind of a collection of most of the remaining strong players in the PvP scene. If you look at the roster of any of the top teams for tomorrow/today’s Unity tournament about 2-3 players from each team are in it at a minimum. But it’s practically impossible to get in if you’re only hearing of it now, because of the implications.

Necro the only class that can't 1v1?

in PvP

Posted by: iTz Joshz.3961

iTz Joshz.3961

Already posted this “are you actually good” kind of thing in another Necro thread, however this is probably of use to you:

Basically, Necro right now is in a position where it’s very reliant on player skill. A lot of other classes are not. Therefore, even against equally skilled players, you’re likely to get trashed as a Necro (or, at least, you’re likely to in anything except the top mmr bracket – but even there a lot of the Necros are pretty bad). However, in saying that they’re equally skilled I would also like to say that they’re probably also pretty mediocre too.
What this increased reliance on skill means for you is that as a Necro you need to focus, and you need to play well in order to not throw games – additionally, this is also true when you have, for example, a semi-decent ele or other form of support on your team. You need to pull your own weight.

But maybe you don’t think you’re that bad at Necro.

I’m going to assume you don’t know what you’re doing wrong and just list out the main things you should be aware of and already proficient at (if you’re “good”) or soon-to-be improving at (if you’re bad or average and want to get “good”).

First of all, can you 1v1 most classes (and can you win most match-ups, as you should)? You should be able to do this even in bad matchups for a decent amount of time (if thieves are ‘instagibbing’ you all the time it’s probably not just because they’re your “counter”). Generally if you want to 1v1 well you’re going to need effective play and kiting (although this is pretty obvious as it’s a central part of conquest at any tier…). Spamming skills on any class is going to be less effective, but as a Necro you’re especially punished for this (classes like thief are too, don’t worry). The flip-side to this is that if you make effective use of yourself then you can do pretty kittening well – as I’ve seen firsthand watching players like Sinid – and, on occasion, myself – manage pressure in 1vXs.

Secondly, do you rotate correctly? Are you ensuring you will be in good fights and will be able to make value out of your rotation? Are you rotating fast enough? Are you taking the correct fights, and disengaging from others?

Moreover, how’s your awareness? Do you watch the map? Do you watch for +1s on your 1v1s and begin to kite or disengage before you’re unable to?

Are you positioning yourself correctly? Or are you running helplessly into a melee versus the 4man ele train rampaging through the node?

Are you taking advantage of your teammates? Are you staying with the Ele or alternative support class when possible? If you aren’t – like most players – please watch for this stuff. Bear in mind also that taking advantage of your teammates’ abilities doesn’t just apply to support classes. For example, Mesmers can support you (sometimes they won’t even mean to) through healing wells, peel (damage, cc, and general focus on attacking enemies to prevent or reduce how much they can do to you), portals, AoE distortion… The list goes on. The same applies to virtually any class (I just picked Mesmer as an example). And, although some obviously carry more things that a Necro can take advantage of than others, they are all worthwhile to watch out for. Teamplay in gw2 is essential, and especially so for this class.

Finally, are you kiting? And, are you kiting enough?
(I know for a fact that a lot of the Necros I face aren’t)
While often overlooked it’s a pretty simple and logical thing to do. No one’s forcing you to die some “honorable” death when you have two or three people on you, and most of the time going rambo-mode into them isn’t going to work out for you. Generally, the smartest thing to do when pressured is to kite. Hop around on the rocks for a bit while managing your cooldowns and soon enough you’ll realise that Necro requires nothing more than a little intelligence to succeed.

If, as you’ve said, you struggle to kite then the first thing you need to work on is awareness. If you’re not able to kite then the thing most likely to be your problem is that you’re kiting too late. Be aware and move intelligently. However, assuming you’re already doing this, the next thing to look at is map knowledge (knowing your kittening PvP jumping puzzles). Kiting isn’t just about running in a straight line. There is terrain for a reason. And, judging by the low mmr brackets most of you who complain about Necro seem to be in, learning all the kite spots on each map should allow you to manage pressure like a god. If you’re not sure what these are just ask in map chat or look it up. Alternatively, just go into a custom arena and work them out.

Necro the only class that can't 1v1?

in PvP

Posted by: iTz Joshz.3961

iTz Joshz.3961

Necro is absolutely fine 1v1.

However, the thing is that it’s a class that requires a lot of active management from the player’s side to survive. This is especially visible in one on one encounters (due to the lack of support and the dependence on the player’s skill alone – although match-ups may sometimes override the potential a good player has)

Necro doesn’t carry itself. Therefore, to a bad player who decides to play it, it – quite obviously – will give the impression that it’s bad. This is emphasized as well by the fact that they may do perfectly fine on other classes in the same encounters, which is due to the fact that most other classes have a much less punishing nature.

[and oftentimes is also due to the fact that the player may be worse at playing necro, less experienced on it, or both]

The reality of Necro is that the class is perfectly viable on its own. What isn’t always viable, however, is a player with low mechanical skill playing it – especially versus those better than them.

tl;dr You just need more practice.

Why are you shocked?

That’s GW2 pvp community.

Sounds like ironically you’re one of those toxic players, who – judging by your other post whining about “cheaters” – also has ego problems.

Ouch. Your lack of self awareness is shocking.

Off-peak Queuing Broken for High Rateds

iTz Joshz.3961

Just a warning to anyone above 1.8k planning to queue off-peak.

DON’T

It’s pretty simple, you’ll be looking at trash players on your team and the other and hard to carry games where you’re going to be getting +5 to +10 for a win and -30 to -50 for a loss.

Don’t kittening bother, this season forces you to play peak unless you want to drop 200 rating in a few games… (yes, i’m salty – sitting at 1760 after a nosedive in mmr even with a positive w/l)

tl;dr good luck grinding if you have a real life and can’t play at 5pm every day…

Currently on 20-21 winstreak Solo/DuoQ. After spending 100s of games getting to legend last season due to getting ‘’les uncarryables’’ on my team every second or third game last season this is quite the refreshment. Finally being able to reach my actual division fast is a really nice feature and i feel although it hurts newer players it helps as a whole.

Is the maize balm rat farm an exploit?

Hi,
So i heard about the rat farm recently and decided to try it as it sounds interesting. So i bought 4g worth of balm and started the instance and kept converting rats which was oddly satisfying. After about 15mins i decided to check my loot and i had 215 ToT bags, thinking how oddly alike gw1 festival raptor farming this was i realised that this is very profitable, in fact, it was too profitable. The balms are 9s each and i used maybe 4-5 per run which netted me about 20 bags which is about 1.2g? So i have decided to stop for the time being as guildies have advised me to not continue just in case.

So my question is, is this an exploit? It is pretty much gw1 festival farming and the consumable is doing what its meant to , but still it just seems too good? Maybe it’s only so profitable because the patch only just came out?
