Guild Wars 2

Victory.2879:

Anyone noticed, whenever a downed ele gets up in the open field (ie out of range of their ‘get out of jail free’ tower entrance), EVERYONE will make kitten sure that ele dies. You should NOT be able to get up and run off when you are downed.

Same with downed thiefs- people go out of their way to make sure you end up very dead, but not to the same extent as eles. You should NOT be able to stealth when you are downed.

Warrior gets up and runs off on vengeance- no one cares, as he is dead already.

I wish my ranger could get up and run off when downed, but then that would make a mockery of downing someone in the first place..oh wait…some people can!

Ele and thief skills need nerfing for wvw to level the playing field.

Indeed, ele’s on mist form or what is called can be quite annoying when they reach the wall cover and heal inside keep, we dont want more defenders nearby nuking from the above.

Welll ranger as some decent downed skills to, as thunderclap or lick wounds.

Electro.4173:

(…)
In PvE anyways, I imagine players would have a lot more tools to deal with it so probably not quite as good in PvP situations (not to mention PvP requiring more movement as well).

I will try to use the shield again today, for some reason i did not elected it as a must use skill, in PVE high level armor and high healing covers almost any damage.

Dynnen.6405:

(…)During the breach BSty/AD personnel were pushing in, but were stuck in the wall during the upgrade. ‘Prosecutor.1457’ showed up when the reinforced wall was at 80% with some our people either trying to jump out of the wall (and making it) or just sitting there trying to swing through it. Showing up late to the party was the reason it looked like we someone got through the wall. However we breached the wall with catas right before the upgrade.

Ill see if we got some SSs or fraps of the event.

That is really anoying and it happens alot to me while defending the castles on broken walls, even in the orgath uplands you can get stuck inside the harpy nest rubble.

I believe you havea very low Healing stats, a roll would not heal much of that HP, what TheGreatA said is right you need vitality.

If that is a pve only build its not to shabby, but conditions will get you killed while you CR are recharging.

Tengu, when the LA doors will be open?

2.2k toughness or armor????

Didnt the heal on guardian got limited to 5 random targets (due turtlings), and if you have a party/team boons might go to other players instead the players you want to protect?

Ive being playing with hight armor 3.3k and arround 1.8/1.9 in healing power and ~16k health, arround 2.6atk, on pve (Arah)sometimes when bored try to agro the max veterans and champs i can see for some fun, a roll heals almost half of my hp bar, but in w.w.w is another story, where damage and high HP is what it matter, at the momment im changin to soldier stats armor.

Becouse we can reduce damage in 33% and block for 2 seconds when healed, elite to get invunerable for 3 seconds, should i continue?

Staff to hit 5 random targets, use carrion armor,
press f1(need to be traited for spamming) for each kill you hitted with your staff.

-Purging Flames (excelent when targets inside are being atacked by bow/guns, or relieve conditions on your allies, also let them make burning damage)
-Smite Condition
-Retreat

next step, collect bags on the ground, this happens alot if 2 zergs colide.

Grazingcattle.1627:

Ok If you just want the question skip down to *

Preface this by saying I love the Bolt and I am working on it zealously. I love the way the sword looks and the effects of it are awesome in my opinion. I also really like the Thor god of thunder type Guardian.

I really cant see me ever getting a GS legendary so Bolt is a good goal instead.

• My question is
  A). What focus should I get to go with Bolt? I was thinking maybe courage or chalice of the gods. The chains look like they might be cool too. Not sure which matches the rest of the idea best though

• B). What build is best for PvE and WvW that uses 1h sword? I run Altruistic healing and i like it well enough, but the off sword/off hand doesnt complement AH like most of the 2h weapons do so what build would you guys suggest?

If you can get the items for it make it….
Legendary equals to ascended items if not mistake, so they might have a little buff in the future??

For 1 handed sword it really deppends how you play with the guardian, you need to see what traits/stats are the best for your case.

juhalanz.9615:

definitely need a finisher leap on the sword 2nd skill.
the leap of the greatsword is by far better for utilityes , like movement and dis engage.

i prefer a new Symbol instead of Zealot’s Defense, but make it doable in movement would be something nice too.

All said here, but zealots defense also excelent its a pitty thats stucks guardian movement, even with teleports misses 50% of the time lol.

Barnabus Stinson.1409:

JackWest.8974:

Full DPS warrior is much, much more fragile than full DPS guardian. HPs mean nothing if you don’t have damage mitigation…
Actually guardian is the most powerful class in the game arguably on par with mesmer, I really can’t see how it needs a buff, more changes are that there will be a nerf…
Sorry to bring the bad news guys

I am guessing you dont play guardian. I have a almost full dps speced warrior apart from using shouts not sigils. I have a 24k health pool with many heals and a passive regen. On shield I have good mitigation, combined with mace it gives a little more mitigation too. Granted not as much as my Guardian which is also spec towrads dps but not fully. So yes My guard can mitigate better but has a lower dps and has a much smaller health pool (8k)

I dont believe theres a nerf to Guardian class, at the momment seams the more steady class of all in offense/defense(on every build possible), its a pitty some of the consecrations when traited still take more than 1 minute to reload, i would like to see more field bubbles or guardians encouraged to use them more.

I blieve most paragons are warriors in gw2 :P ?

Just use fear, and he/her will suicide from a high cliff :]

Greyskies.2815:

The only thing that needs to happen is that instead of getting 1 badge every 10-15 players you kill, you should get a badge for every player you kill.

That would make thing extreme easy…

Draymos.5489:

Badges were made for melee classes. If your range classes you get little to none. (…)

Wrong…. im noticed quite the contrary.
I just need to stay back and and hit the max people radomly, then grab the bags.

Any well placed siege, can stop a zerg.

NA servers have bigger guns

It is not the size of the gun that matters. But what you do with it.

Thats why they need help :P

Euro player in NSP since pré release:]

One options is from http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Crafting the other is buying in the Black lion market
You also have the drops, from champions, chests, dungeons.

edit: check this one → http://www.gw2db.com/

Sokina.8041:

I’d honestly like it if they just combined the best skills of the kitten tomes and gave me another elite choice. The only non-transform profession elite is Renewed Focus. (I love it to death, yeah) but I die so much quicker while I have this kitten book in front of me. Give me an Elite that works with my build, not against it.

Obviously the two tomes are underused for a reason, you know?

But that’s just my opinion. I’d rather have them combine the tomes and give us an interesting elite instead. Also, having only one possible elite underwater is extremely lame. (For Guardian and other classes that only have one option)

Again, I’m not saying the tomes aren’t useful. I use them when protecting a keep against attack, or pushing an attack. But they’re boring and not as good as they could be.

yeah lol, if tomes were just skill number 1 we wouldnt loose much, since is the only skill we will press more than1 time.

Feal my wrath,Feal my wrath,Feal my wrath,Feal my wrath,Feal my wrath,Feal my wrath,Feal my wrath,Feal my wrath,Feal my wrath,Feal my wrath,Feal my wrath.

Miporin.3529:

When Anet put in game guilds vs guilds? This game is called guild wars so make some GvG content.

Yea WvW is only zerg, wins not the player skills or coordination, wins who have big numbers.

Make a form via Thackeray to propose Queen Jennah a tournament between the guilds of Tyria, you might need also to find sponsors.

kylia.4813:

Pick another team based game?
Eve Online
Pirates of the Burning Sea
Planetside
Warhammer Online

I don’t think the OP has ever played any other true persistant server pvp game.

Eve Online especially, pleanty of times we have entered a system with “10 people, look across the ‘system’ and see 138 ‘enemy’ people”
War was never meant to be fair.

Talking about Eve, its been going strong now for how many years? coming on 10 in 2013! And there is no balancing in 0.0 space.

Ragnaron Online with Castle siege/conquer “War of the emperium 2.0” were 3k+ players fight to conquer castles. (i kinda miss the rules there)

Sokina.8041:

[…]
My experiences are normally good, except sometimes I get paired with guardians that do silly stuff like put up walls of reflections against melee mobs….

Wait just a minute….

Those must be the same that cast WoR in WvW when im fighthing them….lolz

im starting to like sword+shield , aplying blind + vulnerability + fire
for the 2nd weapon im changing mace to a traited hammer

fail troll! no fun here

On PvE anything works…. even naked characters with reseted traits!

Funny when they hide behind a tree while displaying the name ;X

Killing overextended targets and pushing other with scorpion

Cornholio.1567:

So you just got into WvW and the first thing you do is complain.. GG

Thiefs are hunters that stalk their prey.. If you dont wanna die stay with the group.. Or we will kill you

Aproved and supported by a non thief player

I dont see the problem with thiefs? Other classes make the same damage if you know how to spec them for damage.

I believe you guys want to take low damage while running under 1.8/1.9k armor???
The only problem is the stealth itself loading 1-3 sec delay becouse of the culling, but that is being worked by Anet, its just a matter to w8th for the fix, and play revenge “im watching you now”.

Sabyne.6329:

Theys should just remove passive speed buff from every class. It’s getting ridiculous tbh.

i have no problem at all, Retreat -teleports – KD – can root target should i continue?

Jurrzy.1594:

The situation in EB has turned into a stalemate. Neither we nor NSP have enough strength to smash eachother’s defenses. We can’t take stonemist, and you guys can’t take overlook. We can’t get organized enough to take stonemist, and you guys can’t build up enough strength to push through our absurd amounts of siege. It’s very exhausting.

Yes, yes, great battle between DR keep and SM, exhausting is the right word.

*Can any gentle soul post new data on scores?

……………………………………………….

wall of reflection, i think it removes conditions but better check @ wiki or try for youself

Besides culling, i dont notice skins problem.

Xyne.9104:

Need to have some guild only events/dungeons/activites.

Yes, becouse it is forbiden to enter with guild in dungeons. : | , you cant also make a champion/boss hunting with guild or other activities as W vs W.
Guild wars atm hapening in W vS W . The GH system in gw2, i dont know what is the best appliance for them, an sanbox(will be the new era of mmos i believe) on a island in the mists that can be upgraded//builded by the guild, would be fun??.. and im getting offtopic too much. :<

retreat and a signet to kd wich i dont remember the name i believe is the one that gives you 90 power.

first 20 are mesmers :}

Dovgan.8605:

(…)Only time will tell how they fare as they move up. I hope they do well and bring their very best, honestly I do, but as a whole this will be DR’s first real test vs larger organized servers.

Northern Shiverpeaks
Anvil Rock
Devona’s Rest

This will be interesting.

Fengist.5739:

When the reward system benefits those that TAKE from other teams more than it benefits them to HOLD what they have, you’ll always have zergs.

(…)
Funny thing is, I see how these zerg players could care less. Their goal isn’t to actually hold a keep. There’s not enough rewards so why even try? The more keeps and towers that the enemy takes back, the more they stand to gain when they log in the next night. To prove my point, no guild even bothered to claim SM.

(…)
As long as zerg behavior is rewarded and defending is pointless (on a reward basis, not a personal satisfaction basis), you’ll have nothing but zergs.

It’s the 21’st century, people don’t do anything unless it benefits them directly.

I just thank the dev’s that they had the foresight to reward those that revive otherwise I’d spend most of my time in the map view looking for a waypoint.

They just implementad JQ from Guildwars in huge scale….

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Jade_Quarry

It would be better to see wich guild could maintain each castle/camp/tower for longuer time for each 7 days a chest would drop, that way we could have dedicated guilds trying to be in the castles if necessary or fighting for it.
Also the orbs of power could be transformed into altairs of power wich if destroyed would need to be constructed again (as castle walls are) and upgraded for buffs.
W v W is a wonderfull game design as other old games have similiar systems, yet more complex, and i belive Anet got imagination to grow on W vs W it was what lot of us continued from gw to gw2 imo.

mulch.2586:

This game just keeps walking backwards.

maybe they are fixing the meshes problems while previewing other class armors.

dudikoff.3645:

I would change my elite with an utility anytime. Guardian elites (and maybe all elites) are useless when you take their cooldowns into consideration.

Its 20 seconds healing 2/4k w/o reaload and AOE, its good to help players exiting the arrow showers zone, also doubles toughness?

• Pacifism – 20sec on recharge – Pacify foes, dazing them for three [sic] seconds.
• Light of Deliverance – 30sec on recharge – Fully heal up to five nearby allies.
  While the skill lasts 20 seconds i would like ot cast it 2 or 3 times.

I believe we have more serious problems in the consecrations line, as example the sanctuary recharge time 90 when traited and full traited will last 10seconds, when not traited last 6seconds and takes 120secons to recharge.

Kodiack.2783:

(…)
We’re doing our part. NSP is slacking.

Not slacking, some sleeping others @ work, this is much the crew we have, but in the next hours we will work to set back thing as they were >:).

Can some1 post the scores? I’m actually @work.

dekyos.1548:

It would be pretty illogical to make the cap based on the map and not the server wouldn’t it? I mean.. if a map could only have 500 on it, and Server A put 500 on the field, server B and C can’t man anyone? That’s just silly.

And that is what war is about. Resources, and soldiers are part of it, for some reason Anet tries to balance the server ranking system.

You dont see the low populations servers facing the servers with more populaitons.

ref.8196:

The thing is, it does NOT help the losing server, since the winning server still gets this event on their respective maps. It would be a fine mechanic if it happened much less often, and only happened to the losing server.

I agree in here to some point, and its already for the loosing server “on that map”, but if you dont have manpower to take a castle/tower or wathever it is, i would say its becouse you dont deserve it or dont have the resources to win that point.

here goes an idea….

If you hate that much the “Super Charr” and his Doylak Dynamite.
Let them conquer the dammn castle, prepare some rams for fast recovering the stolen areas, re-conquer what they conquered and leave 1 hostile castle to avoid the event again, anyway you can always recover what you lost

I believe 90% of guardians use GS as main????

Junkpile.7439:

Whining starts when own zerg isn’t big enough. Every guild think that their zerg size is only right size.

Zerg?
Sometimes i read in map channel “24 man zerg going from x to y” is this big enought?

Darx.6798:

The only time 5 people can take a tower is when they are PvDoor, and for 5 people to take a keep is pure BS. Pls fraps how u take a keep with 5 people without exploit.

You serious? how about 2 players instead of 5? Now.. what options besides pvdoor you have in WvW??

Oh, and LOL at having to equip staff just to get around the map. Staff is horrible for roaming by yourself.

Why do people always make statements without getting their facts straight?

Staff = 10-11.5s of swiftness (depends on rune+boon trait). 12s cooldown if traited.

Well enough to get you across the map.

Iv’e suprised many mesmers or thiefs with "Retreat " plus 2nd sword skill wich teleports and blinds target , the 20sec 33% faster helps by alot.
…and i feel im teling to much here.

Well, nothing matches my thiefs mobility atm… Perma 25% speed bonus and Short Bow teleport.

My minions play in similiar role :] and you didnt mention the stealth, atm thief is all good and i support your stealth.

Senzox.2850:

TBH I regret making my guardian human after seeing all the Norn running around with their flashy T3 armors and the size of Norns certainly live up for the name of Guardian. Personal preference tho.

we all like norn female models i meant for the armors…
