Guild Wars 2

Ghedoriah.4290:

You do remember that commander is not a WvW-exclusive thing?

well then they should make 2 commander tags
one that is bought with badges or other wvw means that has a different look to it

and the regular one that any pug can buy with gold.

if you dont want the AOE limit to be removed thats because you got comfortable being in the middle of a 20+ man zergball taking no dmg.

I have no problem with zergs but AOE’s should be able to dmg all players in that zerg so the zerg will learn to play smarter than just run in a ball from place to place.

bradderzh.2378:

This is wvw not spvp. Conditions rarely tick for the full duration unless your party is full of terrible players with horrible builds. Plus people can run huge condition reduction runes food and traits.

This ^^

+stability will negate necro CC (fear) and the 30/20/0/0/20 is not a tanky build, its actually very squishy if you know how to fight them.

make this sig heal for 200 every 2 seconds instead of 400 each second.

Shulkor.3670:

Terror is where it should, just don’t mess with Dhuumfire or I’ll eat your souls! Take away Dhuumfire then I would expect condition damage increased! I’ve used a full condi build for ages now, was a big bore until Dhuumfire was added. Necro be the only kitten char I like to play, take my Dhuumfire away, game over man, game Over!

I feel bad playing a necro when people who played a necro before dumbfire are now so reliant on it to win.
You dont need this trait for necro’s to be viable.

gah this thread is dead today..yawn…someone insult someone or something

you smell like cheese..

you eat poop..

who told you?

wasn’t me. i told him you drink pee.

but pee is sterile and it tastes good..

How about you stay in Spvp and I get to keep the gear I actually worked to get.

style.6173:

Is this thread a joke? Necro is currently in a great place right now. Condis are the current meta in PvP and WvW.

-looks at the recent toruney, sees no team had more than one condition build-

the ToL tourny should have opened their eyes a bit since like you said only 1 condi build per team for the most part.

so based on that should we nerf direct damage to make it more worth while to get 2-3 condi builds in high level play?

Cost.6917:

That’s a huge trolling spot as it is.

- arena is not enough far away from entrance
- you shouldn’t get strait to the arena circle, but to grandstand
- grandstand should be separated from arena by invisiable walls
- there should be 3rd platform on the top, for a 3rd server
- flatforms on the top should have rails/invisiable walls or be invulnerable-zones

Dunno if it’s intended, but you get loot, wxp and kills for WvW achievement.
Kidna “overflaw-map”

it just came out. its to be expected that trolls will be running around.
just wait until there is an actual GvG and see if any trolls will be alive then.

skullmount.1758:

I don’t expect much from it, and its not even cause its Devon (who I don’t have a problem with). Its just going to be typical Anet answers, “We can’t talk about it right now”, “Anythings possible”, etc.

or their most popular response…..“soon”

ArmageddonAsh.6430:

I would rather see Dhuumfire removed, it was the WORST decision they made and PLENTY of people have proven that we are WEAKER now with Dhuumfire than before we got it….

remove it or make it a GM trait in curses along with Terror so that a necro can not have both at the same time.

testpig.5018:

ebay has a higher population of a t4 server, but lacks the skill to actually get them there.

skill has nothing to do with the bad glicko system rating system.

is a thief hits my necro for 7k I know he is pretty much glass, I just load him up with some bleeds and fear him....downed thief.

Distaste.4801:

When a single class can put on burning, bleeding, torment, confusion, and poison of course it’s going to be more of a burst than attrition,

What class is this? Necros and Thieves don’t have Confusion, Engineers and Rangers lack Torment, Warriors and Mesmers lack Poison, Eles lack any damage conditions other than bleeding and burning. Guardians have nothing but burning…

(WvW)

You forgetting about Runes and Sigils?

No sigils cause Confusion and necros aren’t prone to using Perplexity due to the 6th bonus not working with Fear. Thieves lack Burning as well (another one that sigils can’t inflict, and the only runes that do it are terribly ineffective).

So, I suppose it’s possible for engies and rangers to be using sigils of Torment, but they usually run other sigils (Earth or Geomancy, usually), I still have to question what one class is putting on all of those.

Necro with 4 piece Perplexity will have access to all conditions; Confusion, Poison, Fear, Bleeding, Immo, Chill, Cripple, Burning, Weakness, Vul, Blind (did I get them all?).You are also forgetting corrupt boons and well of corruption will convert Retal to Confusion.

I answered your question. The class with access to all conditions is the Necro.

whats so bad about a necro having access to all conditions? we are the class that thrives on condition/boon manipulation.

I just saw a vid of a necro vs a diamond skin ele......I felt sick watching it.

if you run any 30/x/x/x/x dumbfire build you are cheese.
if you also run sig of spite you are cheese with extra cheese on top.

Open field combat is the best part of this game. (I hate Spvp/Tpvp with a passion because you need to hold points….. = BORING)
this bug makes things more fun because you actually fight real players instead of having to worry about siege hitting you.

Please tell me how adding 150 stats to the whole server (which can be claimed by 3 people) benifits wvw as a whole?

you claim it creates fights to keep them on your side.

We already had fights, we had guilds who would run and chase after zergs and or have roamers take out stranglers.
guess what those zergs hid in towers/keeps with siege lol

this buff does nothing for zerg busting groups or roamers of the under populated servers. it handicaps us more than we where already.
How about make this buff give the zergs more wxp for each instead of stats.

over all only Stacked server like this buff since it makes their lives in game much more easy when it comes to dealing with real skilled groups.

NO
No
NO
No
No
NO

Pugs/pve/zerg players play for PPT
Gvg/roaming/zerg busting look to demonize the enemy pugs/pve/zerg players so that our servers pugs/pve/zerg players get the ppt.

how is that not helping? I think this helps our servers more since out it will make our servers job much easier.

testpig.5018:

And in classic AR fashion that they just never learn… When BP again takes over all of Ebay BL.. instead of pushing into Ebays corner in Eternal Battlegrounds, AR cowers at the first place server, and engages on BPs corner lol.

Do you really want our eyes turned to you again AR? why wont you learn lol.

do you ever stop complaining?

all you need is for someone with an anet tag to jump in a match and say that you are ruining his game mode. and poof you get new content.

Jimmy.1476:

I think if dhuumfire will be really nerfed (by giveing it to life blast and only 3 sec),we(necromancers) need something for compensation,for example more skills(or trait) with torment.

we need to have the 17% terror nerf reverted

hehk.8705:

new teef build called rabid p/p.

standard rotation. 4 auto 4 auto 4 auto, stomp

15s cd on these runes so it would be 4 auto for 15s the 4 again

it only applies to Direct damage.
Conditions are not effected by this trait.

Bombsaway.7198:

Proposed: Change WHICH conditions get cleansed first.

How? Conditions are removed in order of the amount of damage they have left to do (total over all ticks).

Why? This makes condition removal more effective against BIG damage while focusing condition damage around applying multiple conditions and reapplying. It also acts as a slight buff to crowd control conditions which need a bit of love in the stability and melee centric warrior/guardian meta.

In short, the problem with condition damage is that a cleanse is just as likely to remove the LAST condition you want removed as the one that is really hurting you.

Then whats the point of getting condition damage if your MAIN source of damage will be removed?

as for CC conditions the only one that is great is Immobilize because you cant move and your a free target to be hammer trained. This is more dangerous than any damage based condition.
a close 2nd would be chill.

like some have already said some don’t like the “zerg” mentality of Higher tiers.

for me personally 15v15 is the most I want to be involved in.
I would love just some constant 5v5 or 10v10 and in higher tiers that might be much harder to get.

JonathanSharp.7094:

Hey guys.

I just wanted to give you guys a quick update. Based on your feedback, we’ve decided not to add Runes of Perplexity to PvP in the 4/15 Feature Pack. We’ll be monitoring the balance of runes closely, making more tweaks if necessary, and revisiting the possibility of adding Runes of Perplexity to PvP at a later point.

Thanks again for comporting yourselves in such a cooperative and constructive manner – you guys had some great points and counterpoints regarding this issue.

what…. noo My necro would have been so OP. keep them in.
Please tell me this is a april fools post.

Fade.7658:

So Jon, how does it feel to have a very large portion of your player base hate the changes you made to every profession?

speak for yourself.
only change I dont like is the necro corrupt boon nerf.

condition or power build?

also you say your a condi warrior as well, we can transfer whatever condi you put on us back you plus whatever we can stack.

1. GW2 Style GvG (15v15 TDM with WvW gear/skills/food) with official ranking and the ability to fight any guild from any server.
2. Add a debuff to a zerg of 40 or more within a 600 range. -33% movement speed/endurance regen
3. reduce skullcrack stun to 2 seconds
4. Reduce Siege dmg to players by 33%
5. Give rewards to players who defend towers/keeps but do not give exp/loot to players who man siege. (reward must be enough to compensate for this)

So basically remove mace from the game for warriors, because that is what you would be doing. Why use a mace that has a 2s single target stun when you could just use Hammer and have an AoE MUCH HIGHER DAMAGE 2s stun?

Learn to stun break.

yes it would be nice to learn to stun break. except my stun breaks are on 40+ second CD.
whats the CD for skullcrack again?

FinalPatriot.8034:

But isn’t the Necro considered the worst as a roaming class? I heard you have very limited mobility.

Also, thanks for the info on that build of yours. I know what to look out for now.

Only reason we are considered the worst roaming class is because we have no escape button. we are basically stomp or be stomped class.

We don’t stomp people.

I do

Xom.9264:

Agree or dont agree with GvGs but that facts are plain. Both guilds and all the people that came to watch the GvG got trolled by an Anet dev its going to be a long time for Anet to live that one down….. its not the first time an Anet dev has trolled the GvG community they have been doing it for sometime with mocking remarks and posts.

It sure would be great if Anet would just man the kitten up and either ban all GvGers, but that wont happen because its not Anet policy to troll players.

Its just a few rogue devs causing problems starting fights with GvGers because they are not playing ‘My gamemode right’.

I would love to see a dev vs GvG guild fight

When ever I read people’s posts saying, “Now enjoy the pain we have brought by taking your BL, muwahahah” or “Get ready tonight, because we have your map!” It’s all voiced in my head like people in the old Speed Racer cartoon. or reminds me of Yu Gi Oh. lol. “Now I am going to explain my elaborate plan to you so you will know how to counter it!” “Now I will play my special card!” lol. So silly.

Had fun this morning in BP’s bl skirmishing a group of 4 bp dudes between greenvale and victors, I was the bomb engi with the norn warrior. You guys put up a good fight!

I couldn’t resist…

Bahaha OMG My co workers are looking at me like im crazy because this made me laugh.

There is already a thread on the necro forums which is related to this so I decided to start on here.
what Necromancers need is a weapon where our AA will be able to cleave like many or all other classes have.

I would suggest that the Dagger be able to hit 3 targets similar to a warrior axe or thief sword.

Banjal.7328:

It’s funny,Dhuumfire isnt even that good.

then they should remove it and give us something else. or revert the nerfs that came after dumbfire.

simple question.

for me personalty I want to be able to stat and gear up my character just like I would in WvW. No limitations on what I can do or how to play my class.
2nd thing for me to spvp would be a Team DM mode or even a Capture the flag mode to make things fun instead of just being in a node longer.

what would you guys that actively GvG require to go to Spvp?

Thank you.
took a bit of time and some drama for this to come around but im glad the Devs see the potential our GvG’s and the community has.

JonathanSharp.7094:

Just to confirm, we are working on new maps. I can’t give too many details, but a few things:

1) We’re trying maps with no cap points.
2) We’re trying mechanics that focus on high risk/reward mechanics that can win to sudden wins/sudden losses.
3) We’re trying maps that focus on “big play” moments that permanently impact the map flow/map status.
4) I can’t give an ETA on when you’d see one live, because we’re trying different maps, and each of them takes time to prototype, etc.

I think that conquest is easy for new players to get into, and it’s allowed for some amazing high-level games so far! But we’d like to try some new things that get away from conquest.

Also, as many of us have said, we want to give players enough variety such that they can change what they play from time to time, while also being sure that we don’t fracture the player-base by spreading players out to too many different game types.

I know this isn’t a super exhaustive answer, but just wanted to give you guys a quick update.

A map with no cap points………YES PLEASE!!!!

I vote to remove it completely from game!

Player Character.9467:

Why would anet update the wiki…

well someone should update it

pdg.8462:

I’ve played this game since release. I tried WvW for the first time a few days ago. I was appalled. It should be called ZvZ. Two massive groups of players running around and when they meet, unbelievable lag and prayers that my AOE spells go off before I die. Needless to say I won’t be going back to it.

And yes, class balance is the one thing I am actually hoping for and have been hoping for since day 1.

^^
this is why Most WvW open field fighters or GvG guilds want a debuff for zergs (zergs might be defined as 30+ in the same area)

when you meet a group of 10-20 there is no skill lag and the fight is usually very very fun

Long enough that you should be able to run, disable, or kill the Warrior?

This is a l2p issue, not a class/game issue.

I would have what 4 seconds to try to run, but wait they pull out a hammer and keep me stunned or knocked down. in such a noob for not being able to get away. Please show me how to be a pro and beat a stun lock warrior with out the need for stability.

[GF] usually runs 5-15 depending on who is online.

but sadly if you want small group action on a more steady basis T2 and up isnt where you should look for it.

I actually want the AOE limit removed.
this will stop the Zerg running in a ball so it wont take much dmg (only 5 will get hit)
it will make the zerg split up and actually have to think of how they are going to position themselves instead of the normal grab kitten zerg ball we see today.

if you complain about all the AOE classes that will be “OP” you forget about retaliation and that person will get hit many times by it so they will also have to play smart.

NO!!!!!!
duration and damage should never be on the same stat.

keep them separate to force players into picking their poison
