Guild Wars 2

I continually see people complaining that “zomg guardians can match us in damage now we are going to be terrible” and yet, even as a hybrid condition warrior without Berserker’s Power, Attack of Opportunity, or honestly any other +damage trait I have yet to come across a Guardian who is capable of outputting the same damage. It seems like it takes them forever to kill something when I’ve watched. No offense to Guardians.

EDIT: I guess by ‘people’ what I really mean is Daecollo, because he posts enough for multiple people.

projectile just dont stop once they reach thier max ranges. they continue to travel. You just have to press the button as auto attack wont work once they are out of range.

The range neft may not be that bad.

Range isnt the only factor for picking a weapon.

Thinking the same Setun. I’m also running Signet Mastery so having a mini-heal every 12 seconds is really nice. I also use compote food/resto sigil and healing shouts the heals i get ever now and then might make me really survivable.

… Guardians do not have nearly the movement you can achieve with …

Guardians with low mobility are urban legends. Try a greatsword / Sword&Focus build with a couple of Meditation skills and “Save yourselfs” or “Retreat”, and stop your none sense about guardian having no mobility, if you want to build around mobility with a Guardian it is totaly possible. The only hik comes from the fact Guardian needs a target to move around, wich isn’t a problem in WvW with all ennemies NPCs lurking around.

Not sure why everyone would be so hyped about the Path of Scars change, it hits you once and then you know its going to return making for a easy dodge. Or you know… just strafe.

Because if you have a large group of foes and you throw it into them you’ll pull a group of them 1,200 units to your feet allowing your team to dominate them quickly lowering the numbers you’re facing.

Also it makes it that much harder to run from a S/A Ranger.

Finally, Because pulls are just fun as hell.

Hi OP, yes, Stability Boon is immune to warding.

Its immune to Sanctuary too.
What i love most is that during PVP, another guardian popping up Sanctuary, I love to “Stand Your Ground”, enter his “protected” bubble and Hammer (4) Bash him out , that feeling is priceless =)

No offense Noodicia but we seriously only had about 30 people defending our Borderlands, and we rolled your face at hills and held the Lords room at Bay for 8 minutes of pure fighting.

Yes you beat us, but it’s not worth boasting over. Congratulations. How’s it feel to be completely ignored on your BL by AR?

Congratulations you took a keep when no-one was on during the weekend. You won by sure numbers not tactics. Oh and you forgot to mention your first 3-5 attempts at bay that failed and the 2-3 attempts at hills.

Keep it classy.

I’m all DEEPS, ain’t nobody got time for dat

Leaked info and everyone has lost their minds….

wait 4 days then start the panic/crying/working stuff out + an influx of Daecollo threads.

I’m sorry – is it just me or does anyone else think that talking about current builds in depth is kinda “late” (didn’t wanna say “useless”) considering that in 4 days some major changes are going to be made in every class’ trait lines? Just asking, no offense or anything…

Simply Yes

Holland.9351:

Stop telling us what to do and what not to do. Mind your own business. Everyone is going to have to deal with these changes. Period. Half of them are still ridiculous and uncalled for or over the top.

But it is okay for you to tell me what to do.

Please, think before posting.

“Omg 900 range sucks, I hate anet” is not helping at all while “In exchange for the range nerf, Anet can choose one of the following suggestion that will compensate for the lower range…….” or “900 Range on SB is a bad idea because <insert constructive argument>” gives anet good feedback.

good players will adapt, bad players will post on the forums in a blind fit of rage without testing anything new. It’s the nature of mmos

AR, about 2 hours ago, we saved your eb keep from a SBI 15 golem rush and a omega.
Then you repay us by flipping all our camps and trying to take our keeps-.-

Anyways, SBI has really kitten ed me off today.
Just because “in my opinion” they have little to no coordination or skill and just use their numbers to their advantage. Honestly couldn’t care less, but just letting you know to expect me on your borderlands 24/7 starting later tonight heheh.

I’m sorry, I don’t normally do this…but this post is too funny to me in a number of ways…

1st…“hell no we don’t have an alliance with AR…..but if something we do benefits them we expect them to honor that non-existent alliance and not take our stuff!”

2nd….“SBI really sucks and play really bad and it kitten es me off that they kill me all the time……”

3rd….“I really don’t even care at all though….in fact I care so little that I am going to play 24/7 on SBI BL just to show them that they suck and they keep killing me and I don’t even care……so there.!!”

lol XD

Ar will do it every single time. I’ve learned after last night, no mercy. Well we had to report several sbi last night for hacking, annoying but didn’t really work for them.

Sorry if a few of our scrubs might be hacking. Were proud to have one of the more “clean” servers unlike some of the old ones we’ve fought before. Most in our TS agree on that. And if any of us in our TS saw someone hacking regardless of team we would report it asap.

Great teamwork AR + BP simultaneously taking SBI’s Hills & Bay This morning.
Ain’t Communication great!

You do realize that it is always 2 vs. 1 in your home borderland right? What do you expect your opponents to do, leave because the third server is there? Get real…

I actually saw it as a plus side. Our EB zerg went to our… Gasp Borderlands!!!!!!!!!!!
HOOOOOOOORAY!!!!!!!!!
EB showed up, wiped both zergs, retook the map, and went on our merry way. xD

One has doubt the wisdom of the AR commanders who have made another pact with BP, to possibly come in second, which failed last week.

By teaming with SBI, that guarantees at least a second, and possibly a first, once BP is trounced. Coordinating with another against a common stronger foe has always been the way of warfare for just this reason.

To ally with the stronger enemy plays right into their hands, guaranteeing them a first place. Why play this role and into their plans? The smart play for both SBI and AR is to go for the guarantee second place. If there are any alliances, that is the way of it.

I speak the truth and the truth rings true. This has been the way of the world since the birth of mankind. We should learn the truth from the blood of our ansestors and honor them by learning their lessons.

Best part of tonight’s reset in SBI BL was the dolyak attacking Shadaran Hills south gate. AR won hills, then BP flipped it but the yak was already on its way so when it arrived it started to attack the gate with us.

Manvil the Yak 2013-2013- He lived gloriously and died gloriously. May he rest in peace.

your new elitists transfers are ebay-esque here on the forums. just missing a few narcissistic dumpster comments to complete the transition.

wow. the new ebay emerges.

Norn is by far the better looking. The only thing preventing me to play one is how frigging tall they are and the running animation.

Taran Redleaf.7912:

Putting condition removal on burst abilities does not help my build (and would potentially hurt my warrior). I keep adrenaline up at all times for the heal. If I have to choose between condition removal and heal, I’ll stay with healing. Its better to just heal “through” the condition, than to get caught with no heal because I removed a condition.

The heal is about 120 per second on full adrenaline. A stack of 5 Bleeds + Burning + , say, Cripple, will end up handing you a LOT more damage than you would be mitigating with a measly 360-400 per 3 seconds. Even 360-400 per SECOND wouldn’t be enough.

This map? So angry you got beaten off our keep and ran into SM that you went to take AR keep and lost towers again!!

Sorry I can’t hear you over our chest thumping.

fixed

BP: RAR! We are going to attack SBI in Eternal Battlegrounds!! RAR!!
SBI: Where is BP??
AR: They are over here, they appear to be completely colorblind.
BP: RAR!! Take that SBI.
AR: Dude, you know we aren’t SBI right?
BP: Shut up SBI, we totally have your keep!! RAR!!
AR: Oh lord …

I am soooo angry, ROAR!! LMAO. Someone from BP posted bought how they are going to come into EB tonight and show us just how great they are. You came into EB and we showing you the floor. Pure win. This is great stuff. Loving it BP.

Evilzara.6378:

After seeing how many SBI are in eternal, there’s no reason for you guys to be losing this bad. You guys are just terrible, learn to WvW please and don’t complain about “outmanned in Home BL” because all your numbers are in Eternal.

Have you even bothered to read this thread? Are you scared to come into EB. Right now the forces are split in half running separate parts of the map and the people I am with are rolling BP with not a lot of numbers. Or are you mad you came to EB and are getting rolled. I think you got you’re kitten ruffled and don’t like. This post seem awfully angry for no reason, lol.

Grats on the points win. You all deserved it. Hope to get BP again, cause when you all not rolling with 40+ you melt like paper.

I’d much rather have Desperate Power then Berserker’s Power with these new changes. DotE is now a master trait. You still have the 10% damage on bleeds so someone please explain to me how is this a damage nerf again? On top of the fact that you are no longer bound to keeping your adrenaline and now have other options for % damage that are viable and more accessible.

5 seconds shaved off from heals is pretty significant and I think is fair. Faster animation for hammers and if condition cleanse is done before the burst then bye bye completely missing burst because of blind.

Endure Pain 60 seconds? Hell yeah, incoming Endure Pain/Defy Pain builds. Even though we are still affected by conditions, mending is on a lesser cooldown and there is cleansing ire. And zerker’s stance.

Adding a cripple to savage leap and the auto-attack chain is nice. Savage Leap immobilize when traited? mmmmm. Final Thrust seems interesting will have to wait and see what they do there.

Decreasing longbow cooldowns seems awesome to me, Pin Down ftw. Last chance being reduced to 45 seconds seems cool for those burst type builds.

Not sure about the axe changes, but the 75% increased damage at the end of the chain is some serious spike damage.

Not sure how this is a nerf at all but the biggest question is will it change the sPvP/tPvP climate for warrior. That remains to be seen and can only be determined as people test and develop new builds.

I am disappointed however about the fact that they have not changed the minor traits for the tactics trait line. Axe mainhand skills are completely useless as well and it needs a rework, which makes the 20% cooldown reduction pretty useless. Of course assuming these patch notes are legit.

I am sad I read these changes because I really hope they are true and will be in angst till the real patch notes release. This might be because these will severely buff my build.

Also who is excited for the potential of Axe/Axe making a comeback.
