Guild Wars 2

Our first try, the thief died in the lava pit and we didn’t see it before the first stage of weapons testing started. We got to the boss and I solo kited it to around 50% health before I died

Our second try, we were about to destroy the core but it got destroyed and the final stage still started. We were left with a destroyed core and an endless onslaught of waves, tornadoes, and bombs. We stayed alive for 10 minutes before we realized it was bugged.

I spent 1 hour on getting a group for this fractal as the last fractal I needed for the achievement, and then another hour trying to 4 man the bugged fractal.

Sad day.

RaNoGa.6348:

Why do other classes keep coming in here asking how to defeat us? why not ask that in your own forum? and why do you guys keep giving them advice on how to defeat you? honestly it makes no sense….

If you want, I could go to the pvp forums and complain about you guys are uncounterable, so your choice, you could moan and complain about being helpful or you could help someone learn the game. Ya’ll are the ones saying that DH can be countered, so back up that claim and explain. Honestly, some people…

Btw, thanks for the people who helped out.

And a side note, this was a guild tournament in death-match where builds were locked when we entered and a rule was that necros had to start without life-force. So I built off-tank with a crit-vuln build, and I thought I could fight the DH like I do in solo-que (Yolo it), but he, knowing that I didn’t have life force took advantage of that and forced los or death. I was running shout-sigil skills btw. But yeah, thinking about just creating a dragon hunter now, seems like the easiest class to win with :p

Since ya’ll seem so set on “Dragon Hunter is completely balanced”, give me some tips on how to 1v1 them on points, trying to play Reaper vs a Dragon Hunter starting from 0 lifeforce on a point and basically what happens is they stab my fear, and I can’t engage into them or I’d risk death. Building up lifeforce with marks would take too long, and wouldn’t yield the best results as I’d prob just get forced out of it. So yeah as it is now, I LOS them till they leave so I could get the point

I think I should post it here. When you guys fight melee classes in 1v1’s what do they do if they win? I tried fighting a DH and it seemed like I would never have enough life force, and the DH would stay in his trap and bow me to death, I couldn’t pull or fear because of stability, and I could only los for so long. So how do I fight you guys?

Nvm searched it up .-.

Pretty sure it’s ok as long as each action requires an individual press key.

My question is if I could use a keyboard macro to bind them to the same key :p

Is that allowed? I wanna jump dodge without effort

This is an awesome thread, thanks for creating it!

I’ve always really wanted the shadow abyss dye, but haven’t had the gold to get it and I haven’t gotten it in Unidentified dyes. None of my characters look right without a true black, sorry it seems like a lot.

I’ll do what I can for others here, but I can’t do much. I’m a returning player from the game’s release so I literally just have the early wintersday items and 9 gold.

(I deleted my other post because I realized Rainment of the Lich was too much to ask for, and I edited this comment for grammar reasons)

Do me a favor, go look at the kitten storm that is dd, dh, and tempest and then you can come back and complain about how staff is underwhelming

Notice all the upper tier elite classes won’t be switching as much

Scrapper: I get cc’d, and then bursted without any reaction time

Zerker: Only really seen the ones running flame shot

Chrono: Bursted so quickly from stealth, I can’t react

Rev/Herald: I try my best to 1v1 them but they not only outdamage me, but outsustain me

Reaper: One of the only classes I can deal with (I either run away, or try my best to stealth shortbow them down)

Daredevils: Haven’t seen many to really say anything, most just felt like tankier vanilla thieves

Dragon Hunter: Haven’t seen one using traps or bow yet

Druid: How do I kill someone on their team?

Tempest: Haven’t seen a single one in pvp yet

Is this a l2p issue or a balance issue and how do I fight these?

So I’ve been looking for a guild where I can rep and have a chatbox full of guild text, or be able to join a group of AC whenever, kinda like when I played Tera. The issue I’ve had is I can’t seem to find an active guild, so at my wit’s end I’ve come to the forums. Anyone wanna help me out? I’m at SF right now but am willing to move wherever. Also am fine with 100% rep

I feel like its a game of stealth and death on my thief whenever I try to go toe to toe with you guys in pvp

Wait nvm the class mechanic isn’t the dodge enhancements, just the single dodge and kittenty animations.

Had this game since release, never got around to playing it.

Got in the game after seeing HoT, and I now have a level 44 thief. Anyway, I’m planning on mostly playing pvp and eventually a lot of wvw roaming, but I plan on still playing a lot of pve. Anyway, daredevil looks EXTREMELY underwhelming and seeing the posts on the thief boards I feel kinda discouraged, especially after my last few games where I got outlasted, couldn’t 1v1 any other class, and felt like I was just capping points, not pvp’ing.

So should I keep on with thief? I’ve been looking at necro to get to 80 pre-HoT, its an easy class, its good in all aspects of the game, and it has a sexy elite specialization. And eventually, if I got tired of necro I’d go to revenant and main that. Both of those classes seem like they’re in far better spots than thief is looking like its ever gonna get to…. like seriously? A class mechanic taking up grandmasters?… and a single dodge?

Sorry for my English

Hey new player here, I have a guild that’s trying to help me learn the ropes but more help is always needed :p

Just wanted to know the most populated server to play on, and if any other noobs to gw2 want to level with me

So i’m coming from Tera, Aion, and I’m playing LoL right now. Anyway I’ve had gw2 for a while but never got to playing it and I’ve decided to start. Anyone have suggestions for a fast paced pvp/tank dps class pve? Right now I’m interested in Ranger, Warrior, Gaurdian, and Thief, but I haven’t really looked into the other classes much.

PLEASE! border-lands 2 style! The first skill could be a peircing skill next a high crit. chance skill, next maybe another blink thingy, after maybe a flammable bullet, and after, i dont know 0.0 but the stealth skill for the rifle could be like a suprise attack dealing high damage.

I went to see if the minions got better since the last patch, and they did, I got like 20-1 in PvP and got 3 weavers. I rolled a hybrid fear/minion/vampirism build I came up with and had the demon summoner ruin. I got on top in 7 games in a row, it was amazing! Now before you tell me that it wasn’t fixed and i lied, try it. I had d/d and staff, when ever a thief went stealth, i rolled out my staff and set a butt-load of booby-traps. I had the blood fiend, bone fiend, flesh wurm, shadow fiend, and the flesh golem.

I have been hearing a lot about how warriors want to dual wield great swords. WTF is this! How would they even roll and how would a tine asura carry a big kitten sword, let alone 2! There are problems like the minion AI for every pet class and you are worried about dual wielding one of you most powerful weapons! How would the character even swing one his/her swords…. they would drop it on the enemy, and don’t tell me that warriors are a bunch of Chuck Norris’ minions or they work out a lot. This is madly overpowered. Would a person wield a great sword in real life. If so I would like to see a human pick up 2 iron Two-Handed Swords in each hands and swing them both at a target without looking like an idiot. It even has 2 handed in the name 2 handed sword, which is what a Great sword really is in case you didn’t know.P.S. Dont take this too harshly.

The thing that bothers me about the necro is the minion, everything but the idea annoys me. Today i will be talking about our freaking tiny a** suicide rat that runs around making us look like idiots that can only summon rodents. Second, why are there only 2??? I have never seen 2 rats kill a human, noneless undead ones kill giant golems. Even thought they explode why are there only 2. In video games like dishonored, a butload of rats are summoned to devour a human. I would just want them to not explode but have 20 of them slowly killing their opponents. Now dont tell me that this is overpowered because they cant explode, they only do like 50 damage points, have 20 health points, and their pathing still sucks!

I would also maybe make it like gw1 where we could have way more minions at the same time.

The lich skill cant summon minions. what are you talking about that was in beta

A load of minions scrapping a test golem… srry bout the pic

In beta minion master was amazing better then now just do it again and all the complaints will stop in forum…

Just take the whole minion system from gw1 and put it here

Point some things out that the necro needs like more and fixed minions, or weapons with AoE or cleave, better minion pathing, a better minion system, the ability to have more minions, better survivability, better elites, and better F# skill.

Fix necromancer i bought this game because of the firsts necromancer and pets

Add a sythe. :I

extremely op………..

Bring back the whole minion system from gw1

Dear ArenaNet, please give us a sythe and better minions and more of them.
I swear I’ll use them!
C’mon… we deserve a gimmee.

Vadavim.6409:

I actually really like the idea of being able to use life force to spawn minions quickly. I mean, Life Force is unique and all, but I sorta find it limited to certain situations. I’d rather much like different ways to spend it other than to always go into Death Shroud. Spending it on minions makes a lot of sense to me…

Instead of using life force we could have a different bar for this.

It would be cool for all of these ideas to come true, i mean the reason i bought this was because i saw the first games necromancer and it was amazing because i love necros but there are so little in gaming and then i heard the second game was about to come out so i waited to buy this one thinking the necro was going to be even more of a boss. The whole idea of a Necromancer is to summon summon summon…. and a little life transfer. Why not give us like 16 minions at once with caps or maybe add more types of minions, fix the AI, and give a control panel where we could bind a few summons to one key for attack or heal. And also give either a better healing summon or a different one. I would also like to see death with a hood and a sythe as our elite as a summon and golem to be 3rd tier instead. Or maybe give us a weapon set where we get a sythe and, 1 could be slash, slash again, and then a small life transfer ( thieves have poison as a combo why cant we have a small life transfer) it could also summon weak minions that could be hellhounds or a walking hand. We could also have minions like a skeleton knight soldier that would bleed or a cursed ghost that would chill. We shouldnt also have to use up one utility skill for a weak mionion that will die in the first attack we should have the class things such as F1 could be summon bone minion.
