Guild Wars 2

I say no to the firs three, it’s important to keep moves uniform for recognizability to what’s happening around you or to you.

As for the iB, does it copy your GS model now? If so then I think it’s feasible to ask for a Sunrise model with no effect on the iB.

If they could just open a temporary server of potato fields so we could at least harvest something useful while they do all their update stuff…

If you’re looking for a group of payers whose goal is defying the odds in WvW and coming out on top —all while having fun-- then I don’t think you have to search any longer.

Anything covered on the map to the left is Green. We just lost SMC and dropped something else. Going from 170 to 130.

1v1v1’s is just a shorter way of saying there are three 2v1’s happening at all times.

Opportunity is the one to blame here, not conspiracy.

I don’t think you had all the facts Ramos. There must have been a stealthed thief or someone hiding because I have personally participated in a cap while playing with some people in the invuln spot as well. It didn’t impede anything.

And as to recapping it once we left. Well good luck killing every sentry, guard and the guildmaster from that far away…

I’m not opposed to the invuln area being receded a little bit but I don’t think it’s game breaking either.

I tried something similar in WvW and it was not enticing after the first battle… Haven’t tried it in PvE or dungeons. It would probably be a different story. I kept all the gear so I may try that at a later date.

This is the same thing that happens when you’re on the north side of the BL and they can stand on their cliffs behind the gate at their spawn and are also invulnerable.

If you move back 1200 range then they will have to come out to get you, then kill them. Or they can stay there forever doing nothing…

Their spawn is a short run away, it would not help keep that camp much longer if they all died and just had to respawn and run back in.

This is available at Lowlands too. It is their spawn area that makes them invuln. It is far from making it impossible to cap.

Here’s the score. Excuse the map text, as I have to run GW2 on a C64 here at work…

Right now I mostly run with Feedback/Blink/Portal. I will swap out Feedback with Decoy if I need some invisibility to portal bomb and I sometimes think about switching out Blink for Mirror Images for shattering too, but getting out of snares is really useful that I haven’t been able to swap those.

Unless I just haven’t been playing Mesmer correctly at all I don’t think you’re going to be able to act as a long range nuker…

Our AoE is severely limited and kind of fickle to pull off. If we want to shatter on someone in the crowd we have to bring up 3 (for max damage) clones/phantasms and get them into the middle of the group (hoping that the person you summoned them to attack is still inside the big group of enemies [and also still alive, or they will disappear]) and then shatter them. You can do that every 12-15 seconds depending on your traits (and some utilities make it even faster). And you can add more damage if you trait yourself to shatter, but then you have to be in the mix as well.

Then we have Feedback, but they have to do ranged damage to get the reflection. If you trait glamour and add in null field you will be able to blind and confuse a lot of enemies too, but confusion is only going to hit so hard, even when specced into condition damage.

I am basing all of this on WvW, where you have 10-100 enemies running in a semi-tight group. I get about the same bag as some eles, though they aren’t AoE specced, and less bags than the necros. Bags usually correlated to your damage and # of enemies you have damaged.

If you are only going to play PvE, then you will have a lot better chance of dpsing well, you’ll be a little squishy I think but if you keep up the shattering you will be ok. Normally I didn’t fight over 4 mobs at once. So, that shouldn’t be a problem.

When you get in a 1v1 fight, WvW or PvP, you can dish out a lot of damage. But I wouldn’t consider that a long range nuker, as most of the time you are pretty close to your opponent.

Big battles with as much AoE you can put down on the enemy is probably the best. Especially when you win the battle. If you can’t, then at least stay alive enough to make a few pushes back and forth while picking up your bags. I spam F sometimes while fighting and grab bags a lot on the fly. But especially when I think we are about to either win, move forward, finish a lot of people or have to retreat. Just in case people die and I don’t think we are gonna make it back into that position or stay much longer.

It seems like between my brother and I and others in this thread, sans Wicked Lilith, the trend seems to be .25-.33%~ of your kills should end up with badges.

Last night I got 300 kills and 72 badges. My only AoE was feedback, berserker, GS 2 then shattering the clone and phantasm if either or both were still alive. This was about 4 hours of WvW.

I have maybe acquired 450~ and my lifetime kills in WvWvW for the past 2 weeks (pretty much my whole WvW career) is almost 2700. I also do some jumping puzzles and map completions. I played for an hour-ish last night and got 11… from about 100 kills I think.

On the reset last Friday I got 99 in under 5 hours of play, since it started late. I wish I would have kept track of my kills too but I didn’t check beforehand.

I think a lot depends on your play style and the group you run with.

Edit:
[Just to compare, a guardian in my guild got 250+ in the same time on Friday.]

Nut, I wasn’t home tonight around prime time so I can’t speak for tonight. Last night there were queues for a good amount of time and we were battling at least a hundred between the two sides if not more at any given time. On your map last night. Reset was an hour and a half late, so we probably could have had a lot more fighting the first day too.

Last night was tons of fun.
I missed a fraps of a nice 1v1 in the middle of the chaos though and I’m sad.
Looking forward to every prime time night we gave of this match up.

Good fights everyone.

Link isn’t working for me but a shatter/healing build sounds interesting.

To everyone who has tried this build:
How viable is this in medium sized groups in WvW? Will it heal everyone who is close enough to you or only 5 allies?
