That myth is still active I see, that pvp players are better than wvw roamers. They are way better in one thing, that is win pvp matches, that does not make them better against any good wvw roamer.
Also i watched Potatoveg on stream this weekend and I thought he handled himself more than fine. Nice build he has.
So you want a troll box to store all your troll siege?
That has to be the least thought out post I’ve read on here. Golems are a very useful and fun piece of WvW Equipment. A Golem Garage would help prevent actual grieving by preventing bad players from stealing, joy riding, and dumping them off cliffs, etc. Golems should be viewed and treated as personal pieces of property in game. Especially at 4g a piece!
editing to up the price.
Put them under a bridge? Thats where trolls normally live surely?
You don’t need stealth at all. I hid in keeps several times yesterday as a Guardian. In this 40vDoor meta zergs don’t care about sweeping since it just slows them down on their journey towards the next door. Besides, they can just melt their way in when it gets flipped anyways.

Yeah, this game isn’t for you. Everything you listed is a hallmark of this game: no gear treadmill, no holy trinity, being able to get gear however you want (dungeons, pvp, crafting, buying it off TP), and when it comes to leveling the journey is as important as the destination. Basically this game isn’t a rush to level 80 so you can grind a bunch of dungeons so you’re able to grind even more dungeons.
It sounds like you love everything about the standard MMO, and all the things that GW2 tried to modify/do without. So yeah, unless you can break out of that frame of mind, this game isn’t for you. But at least you gave it a try.
What are you even grinding? I’ve been playing since headstart and never felt like I was grinding.
Granted, I’ve never actually played explorable mode dungeons (apart from fractals) so maybe that’s where that was.
But more on topic, the point of legendary weapons IS the skin. The stat bonus is just extra incentive they added later. Having all exotic gear be equal allows for the endgame to essentially be collecting skins and looking nice. Which tbh is much better than “BE MORE STRONGER” but that’s just my opinion.
Yak Wee Week: Upon entering WvW you are transformed into a Yak. You then run around the map saying Weeeeee, Weeeeee, Weeeeee. The louder and the frequency you “Wee” determines your contribution to ppt.
I would add Spirit of Nature to this list. Why do this spirit only have a radius of 240, when all other spirits have a radius of 1000 (untraited)? This is our elite spirit!

@blitzkrieg and FrownyClown:
You cannot compare PvP and WvW. There is much more freedom and variety in the open world. That is why there are different demands to a good WvW build than to a good PvP build.
Skillwise there is no difference. The percentage of good players will be about the same in WvW and PvP. The best roamers will beat the best PvP-players in roaming and vice versa. Being prejudiced in this topic is stupid.
@Topic
The melee also works great in a zerg. Damage + Support + Tankyness.
I love the new possibilities for frontline ranger. I’ve been playing ranger as frontline support now for a long time and the damage of my build was buffed by a huge amount.
It is great to see how good a melee ranger build works while boarding the enemy pirate ship. With a good build you can kill an enemy berserker ele with one maul while being tanky at the same time.
The movement skills change with conditions was supposed to make all leap skills move the same distance all the time regardless of conditions or boons on the player.
However, when leaping under quickness we still travel a shorter distance.
Healing Spring does not activate when used at full health and losing health while inside the trigger area. Player must exit then re-enter the trap area to activate.
Spirit of Nature – passive heal does not scale with Healing Power.
Sic ’Em! – active effect is cancelled if any other pet command is given, including another pet shout.
The unactivated duration of deployed traps varies between 1 to 5 minutes with no apparent rationale.
Signet of the Wild – if the effect is active upon leaving combat, the skill bar will be locked until the player enters and leaves combat again. Skills can however be changed from the Hero panel.
Frost Trap – effects will not apply upon triggering (including the traited ‘on trigger’ cripple) but upon the 1st pulse thereafter.
Flame Trap applies 2 stacks of burning on trigger.
Weapons
Maul (Greatsword #2) – unlike other melee cleave skills, only the closest target is affected by the crit chance from Precise Strike and the damage bonus from Remorseless.
Post it in the bugs section because nobody from ANet will ever read it in this forum.
Are you nuts to think they even read the Bug forum related to ranger?
They only listen to that Abjure team that list a bunch of things to nerf rangers, and ignore all the things that hurt ranger entirely.
So, are you guys looking into the pet stat issue? Pets pretty much have the same stats as before the patch. They supposed to gain 150 and get another 150 if specced into BM, they are not getting these.
Like I said in the OP, if ranger is underpowered then buff areas other than this trait. This specific trait is one that is indisputably overpowered and deserves a nerf.
If you have suggestions for how to buff ranger in other areas, I suggest you create a thread about it.
2s HARD CC, 7 sec CD (when traited), 5 targets, 600 range, 240 radius, blast finisher, high damage, cleanse 3 conditions (when traited)
How come I didn’t see you complain about this, a way stronger and more spammable CC than ranger’s taunt?
Oh, I know the reason, because it is ranger! You guys expect ranger to be trash tier and should never be able to be competitive.
Seriously, you are the one who should come up with the ideas of compensation for nerfing taunt. Otherwise it’s just plain nerf and no compensation on an already under-powered class.
To Euro:
I agree taunt should be unblockable too since Fear is unblockable as well.
However the smart thing to do would be to replace eotm with it for a week and test it there. Everyone that wants access can get in, broken mechanics won’t affect WvW scores, and you can shut it down as often as you need to without messing up WvW.
I’m pretty sure eotm was supposed to be the testing ground for WvW stuff anyway.
Well i tried many names, characters from books i read with cool names
Stop right there. That’s your problem right off the bat.
This is an MMO – a massive multiplayer online game (millions of copies have sold worldwide). There will be people who have taken the name from your favourite book/movie/tv show series, and yes there will also be people who have rip-offs of the name too. Misspellings, accents, you name it.
Solution – be creative and original with your names instead of using something that about a thousand other people will have thought of as well. This game has been out for almost 3 years. Of course that character’s name will be taken.
~~~
As to having apostrophes and lower case middle names (like Vincent van Gogh or Mippa the Grand, for instance), I do agree we should be given these as options.
