Guild Wars 2

Chris.3290:

Wednesday afternoon and Maguuma hasn’t declared victory yet. Maybe they’re waiting to see if they can pass SoS so they can claim some sort of victory that is measurable unlike “Our roamers are better so we are technically the winners this week”.

Props to folks on Maguuma who actually show up to fight (INC, VR, Pyro, Ark, etc).

Edit: someone had to ruin my day and remind me it’s not Wednesday. Cruel…just cruel.

Winning due to coverage is kind of like winning a height contest.

I think a few ambient here and there would help a ton for us Necromancers. I find myself low on life force every time I duel and am forced to ask enemy players for some.

RIP BG roamers…

RIP Mag roamers…

I thought you are called ‘Buygate’.

I would like to request an official change of name of the Blackgate server to “Believegate” as an additional reward for winning WvW Season 1. I don’t think its asking too much, as it is a simple, fun change and it also gives no monetary/in-game benefit to us. Please support this petition to get ArenaNet’s attention! I BELIEVE that together, we can make this happen!

RIP BG roamers…

spray and pray …. honestly

Overwhelmed with the changes.

sadly the pvp in spvp does not stand for player vs player… It stands for point vs point

edit: and by point i mean the lil circle things (colourful things)

WOW!! That Stunbreak!!!

much blind
so do(d)ge

Another necro…

Its called spvp

Pls stop comparing sPvP to GvG, they aren’t even close to each other

@OP: Disagree. WvW is about fighting people from other servers. Dueling people from your own server has no place in this game mode.

You do know that they added this whole new area to the EB jumping puzzle (separate from WvW servers) so that guilds can GvG right? OP is asking for the ability to duel friends on the same server in an area which doesn’t affect WvW.

Dueling is something that should have been added from the beginning. It’s a good way to test out WvW builds against each other. Boring amulet PvP duels are not the answer.

They can just implement it similar to joining a party or being in a costume brawl and making it so the players that initiate it can only hurt each other. For those bad players who are afraid of dueling, all they need to do is add in an option in your settings to ignore duel requests.

I would be fine with a sPvP style of GvG if they allow us to customize our gear layouts and stats the same way in WvW. You can keep the food, but if I have to use a kittenty amulet to get pigeonholed into one stat combo I will not play it.

immobilize has a counter? zomg arenanet fix!

A few week ago i got a 10k backstab followed by a 10k heartseeker and died. With pvt warrior. I have no idea how is this possible. Sorry for off, i just wanted to share with you.

Skill Lag.

All is right in GW2 again. GvG Showdown is back and suddenly there’s 5+ Upcoming matches on gw2gvg.com compared to the 1 or 2 that’s typically been there since Orbageddon. Now we just have to get NA to start using it again cause it really was extremely helpful in setting up matches before.

I definitely want to encourage both EU and NA guilds to make threads about their matchups here in this forums, especially if you plan on live streaming.

need help getting most of the guilds out of the PPT mindset and out of Gold League
most GvG’s dont happen in NA gold league is because “indo xyz” is a dictator in sanctum of rall, who for some reason is deemed a God. Anyway, GvG’s aren’t allowed to happen unless he gives the okay, I have heard this from every guild on SoR.

“We can do wednesday, but it depends if Indo says it is ok”.

-facepalm-

wut? kitten him, just gvg anyway, Craziest thing I’ve ever heard.

EU would win in open field fights, guaranteed.

clint.5681:

And then you consider condition duration food/traits/gear and your condition reduction food is usless.

This post does not recognize how the mechanics work. If you max stacked 100% condition duration and applied a base 5 second bleed which with 100% duration, which takes heavy stacking, is 10 seconds. Take -60% condition duration and you get 4 second bleeds.

-condi duration > +condi duration.

Plague is the ultimate shutdown – poison, blind, and chill.

what is the general consensus on rolling with these for the “fight clubs” behind the windmill? Never done any of this stuff but I’d like to get into it. Any other tips for someone trying to get their feet wet in WvW dueling?

Maybe I’m getting old, but this felt like listening to a bunch of giggling high school kids. I had to put the thing on mute before long.

I think it’s supposed to be satire. It’s pretty funny in that light, at least one of the more entertaining times I’ve watched gw2 pvp.

Also I think I can assume they’re all pretty jaded about the gw2 pvp scene, true story.

Hammer Guardians get 100% Protection uptime just by auto-attacking, so nobody has comparable uptime to a Guardian.

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.

Because females are sexy and people.rather look at a hot girl than some random dude .

Even though we wont do it for Dec 10. I just wanted to throw out a wacky possible idea for Dhuumfire that we could discuss…

• Life Blast has a 100% chance to cause Burning on hit (2 seconds long). 6 seconds ICD.

Obviously the #s are ballpark and not necessarily final. The % chance, duration, and ICD are all subject to change.

Jon

A lot of these considerations, unfortunately, don’t make a lot of sense.

We should consider the following realities:

• A damaging condition in the Power line both hurts condition builds that want it and limits power builds that don’t want it
• Having it force power players to use LB to get the burn may have some validity in PvP, but drives this trait further into the mud for PvE where LB is inferior DPS to Dagger

Consider the following instead, Jon:

• Move Withering Precision from Curses to Spite Grandmaster
• Move Dhuumfire from Spite to Curses Grandmaster and DON’T change it
• Move Terror up to Grandmaster
• Drop Lingering Curses down to Master
• Move Weakening Shroud up to Master and DON’T change duration
• Move Spectral Attunement down to Adept

Withering Precision: Deal 15% more damage to foes suffering from Weakness.
Siphoned Power: Deal 10% more damage when you have over 90% HP or 90% Death Shroud.

This does the following things:

• Conditionmancers are forced to take either Terror or Dhuumfire, but they can’t have both
• Dhuumfire is a cover condition for other conditions and can have longer durations depending on condition duration investment, but fear doing damage is also very powerful. From this position, you could possibly even buff Dhuumfire to bring it into line with Terror since they occupy the same trait spot on a bar.
• Weakening Shroud is kept valuable with its new synergy with the new Withering Precision, which is now in the Power line
• Withering Precision goes to the Spite line and actually provides a dps boost comparable to Close to Death with different conditions, which actually helps PvE necros too
• New Siphoned Power has synergy with Death Shroud because you can activate it when health is over 90% and keep it there safely, and this trait significantly helps power Necros in both PvP and PvE to actually be worth packing over condition variants
