Guild Wars 2

The area on the other side of your front door is vast and wonderful. Don’t let their sub-par PvP game ruin your life man.

Welcome to GW2, where balance is made up, and everything except for warrior doesn’t matter.

Why?

To kill a warrior you need sustained damage and poison. To kill a thief you need sustain. Warriors can kill all burst builds by outsustaining them. Thief can kill all burst builds by bursting them faster than they can burst back due to shadowsteps/evades with damage. Combine Warrior and Thief and you force all other classes to go either Bunker/Condi Tank specs.

Look at viable amulets for the other classes:

Ranger: Carrion/Rabid/Settler’s
Necromancer: Rabid/ Carrion
Engineer: Rabid
Guardian: Clerics

Mesmer is unviable except for Portal. Yes, really.
Elementalist also unviable

What Thieves shut down:

-Mesmer (Can evade all shatters)
-Elementalist (Can evade all burst)

-Basically any Glass Cannon spec other than Guardian:

-Power Necromancer (Trains out of fight)
-Berserker Warrior (Trains out of fight)
- Power Ranger (Trains out of fight)

What Warriors shut down:

-Mesmer (No poison, not enough DPS)
-Elementalist (No poison, not enough sustain)
-Power specs without poisons will all lose to warrior (AKA Thief is only viable power spec)

In addition, warriors have crazy node presence, meaning that in tournament pvp if a warrior hops on your node you HAVE to get off the node and give up the point unless you are a bunker spec.

I really feel as if Ele’s would be in a better spot if they weren’t shut down so hard by Chill or Spite/Corrupt Boon.

That ele in the video kinda reminds me of this guy

I don’t understand why anyone would post a video embarrassing themselves so badly…

What I have been noticing is that my backpack inventory will start expanding to the right a little each time I reopen it. I played with it to see if it would stop, but it didn’t. it just kept expanding all the way to the other side of the screen. I normally don’t have issues with most bugs but this one is too hard to ignore.

I like that no one really cares about PPT in EotM. The karma trainers can karma train, the zergbusters can zergbust, the roamers can roam, and everyone seems to like it. I can just jump on to any random map with my guild and either find a huge blob to kill, another guild group like mine to fight, or we just move to another overflow.

The accessibility of it is great, and the fact that people are able to what they want to do without feeling forced to play the flawed PPT mechanic is nice.

The enemy is of different color and is trying to inhabit your neighborhood.

Im sure this is a problem is every server. People claiming camps/towers/keeps/sm with no buffs or intentions of ever activating any. Too many times has this happened that a guild without even a guild emblem claims an important structure.

Why not require some sort of guild upgrades to be able to claim or allow another guild to remove a claim if a place has been claimed unbuffed for X amount of minutes???

However, it is the most fun zerging I’ve had in a long time. Xushin #1 EOTM commander. Xushin for president!

I am going to change your rank name in guild today….

I am unclear, are these professions that need BALANCING (nerfs and buffs), or just professions needing buffs

Balancing:
1. Warriors – (nerfs)
2. Thiefs – (nerf zerk, buff other)
3. Elementalist – (buff)

Buffs:
1. Ele
2. Ranger
3. Thief (NON-GLASS ONLY)

1.Ele

I don’t care about other classes.

Allie Murdock.8152:

So, it looks like Meteor Shower should have a red circle. Is there a chance that it is being culled out in the situations you experienced?

Oh God, now I wonder if the team also thinks the trebuchet cow shot shows a red ring (it doesn’t, but absolutely should).

Edit: What would be great is if meteor shower showed red circles for each meteor attack.

HAHA, ill probably get suspended again for this, but really Allie Murdock? 100’s of legit game breaking builds, skills and yet you come back to ele.

You have yet to comment on the broken skills and traits in game, like conditions, hides, perma eva sins. But first time someone brings something up about the weakest profession in game you jump all over it and send it off to the balance team?

and for your information this is what happens when ele casts a AOE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB6zdwc7iWY&list=UUM8NqxY8uiOsuc-JFj22SoA&feature=c4-overview

Its a real shame in the past week, i made topics on the broken stuff in the game, i got forum suspended for it.

Maguuma doesn’t follow trends it sets them.

No idea. I play EotM.

Not sure if I should laugh or cry.
Was it a close fight?

Agreed. Solution, a guild must have at least one buff to claim a structure. All claimed structures are unclaimed when the guild buffs expire for the guild.

Still bugged and can’t be forged or have they fixed this?

It is strange how little condition damage actually affects us. I mean:

You: 1,464 Condition damage – Drakes Breath – 8,328 Damage Damage
me: 245 Condition Damage – Drakes Breath 4, 671 Burning Damage

For a build that has 1,219 more Condition damage, i would have thought it would have done more burning for some reason. I would defo be interested in seeing some gameplay footage. Personally for Burning i find Damage > Duration.

You thought about taking Elemental Power? As the Burning from that would be just over 2,000damage. 25% chance with 30second duration seems pretty good.

Oo boy this is gonna be a fun reset night.

You could just download Mumble or something similar.

I suggest arcane wave more than blast, and probably lightning flash over arcane shield because you need the mobility a lot of the time.
In addition, vital striking isn’t particularly good usually unless you’re going full-out burst, so I suggest taking cantrip mastery or the like.
