Returning player looking for class help ...

Well.
Guardian, propably in all maners speaking, is simillar to Warrior. Cool Two handed weapons, simple rotations, good utillity, high damage, high survivability. Not much else to add. You will have to discover for your self.

Also, if not Guardian then go core Ranger. High damage, average health pool. Doesn’t really matter if you go Druid if what you want is similarity to Warrior. Cause you can go Greatsword and Longbow with damage oriented stats. You will have less health but better advantages, pet tanking everything (in PvE). But a core Ranger might feel a bit booring compared to Warrior as it has very simple rotations. If that happens then go Druid. Druid (comes down to what you decide to build) is mostly less damage, more health, much more support, more fun.

Or Power GS Reaper. I’d recomend that only for PvE though. High health pool, high damage. Can get quite hard to play and/ or stay alive though.

The main thing I was looking for was surviving the HoT overworld, tbh. I’m a new player, and everything in the expansion tends to murder me, a completely different experience from leveling to 80, which was cake.

What I had envisioned when I started playing was be that, if I became good enough at learning when to dodge, interrupt, etc., I could solo more difficult and/or long PvE fights that are normally able to be soloed by warriors/necros/etc. Is this true, or am I ultimately fated to be a glass cannon with limited defensive measures?

If you play Staff Daredevil with proper stats, then you can solo lots of stuff. I soloed every story, including HoT, and never had real problems with HoT mobs while still having huge damage and up time.
But just to be sure I have to mention: No build or skill will allow you to solo far too great amounts of enemies, solo dungeons or any such things, unless you exploit them, skip them, etc.
Know your limits, kite, don’t expect to be invincible, especialy not as a Thief.

Should i roll thief?

in Thief

Posted by: Alatar.7364

Alatar.7364

I main Thief, but truth is that Druid, Ele and/ or Guardian can do this all while being more useful if played properly. Also Thief would require you to be much more experienced to do it all, than of you did it with the others. So go Thief only if you are not a new player and are already familiar with mechanics of basically all other classes.

PS: Now is really not the time to go Necro

Or he could start out with Thief and learn the hard way. The experience gained as a thief will serve you well in later life and future prospects you pursue! We offer a safe, comfortable work-space with late-night bonuses and waffles on Sundays!

Smallprint:
Waffles are only available if there’s someone in the office on a Sunday. Wafflemixcostsarenotcoveredbythecompany

If Waffles are available then there is no valid argument against it.
So I present this as a quiestion rather than oposing.
Why go ‘Hard-way’ if he/ she can go ‘Easy-way’ with more benefits and fun, which will ultimately result in even long-term fun.
For example as a Thief you have to know how Druid/ Ele works, but as Druid/ Ele you don’t really have to know how Thief works. Just learn to dodge the Steal, which he/she will learn within minutes, rather then learning the other way around within months.

It is actually my favourite paradox. It is hard to learn how to play Thief, but easy to predict and play against one just by meeting few. I am pretty sure that this is what makes all the educated people think that Thief is easy to play, thus being “OP” when played well.

Revenant, or Guardian?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Alatar.7364

Alatar.7364

It all comes down to a build, really.
As a Guardian you provide blocks, healing, some boons like stabillity and swiftness. Plus a great deal of damage
As a Revenant you provide Might, Fury, Regeneration (as Herald of course), swiftness. Plus a great deal of damage.
But then you swap Revenants build and you too provide blocks and heals and projectile denial. Conditions, etc.
One brings something over the other, who brings something the other cannot or cannot in such amount.

I’d go Guardian if you wanted more sustain, Revenant if more damage. But as I mentioned, it is matter of build. You can be Revenant with more sustain than Guardian, but with less damage. Or Guardian with a huge damage, but less sustain.

PS: Not particulary sure if the last two sentences made sense, but you get the point.

Burn Guardian can apply 16 stack of Brun like once and then he is out of utillity skills to do so again for quite a time.
If you got so many stakcs of it on you, it means you were standing in Purging flames like it was a stage.
Burn is also the only condi they can apply, so it is super easy to condi clense.
As stated above, this is, with all due respect, l2p issue.

Damaging evades hurt pvp

Posted by: Alatar.7364

Alatar.7364

Vaults Evade frame is so tiny, that it is almost as easy to interrupt as Gravedigger even during the whole thing.
Boudning dodger, same as Vault, is easily avoidable. You don’t even have to dodge, just walk the other direction as the Bounding dodger takes so long to land and its radius is not even that big.

Lotus training is indeed a *****r, but only nerf this needs is reduce the duration/ potential/ number of the applied conditions. Cause right now I am seing builds that kill with one Dodge of Lotus Training and that ain’t right.

BUG: Unresponsive Pets & Skill No. 3 [merged]

in Ranger

Posted by: Alatar.7364

Alatar.7364

I can assure you that Devs DO read these forums quite often.
I am also very certain that these effects such as unresposive Pets and Staff 3# are bugs/ errors, as there is no reason for them and/ or are not mentioned in Patch notes.
Therefor, everyone being aware of this, the only reason why it was not fixed yet is, that Devs simply did not figure out what is causing these problems. Do not get upset with it, as it is obviously a temporary error.
I am highly positive that we will see the end of that in following hours.

Gift of Souls

Posted by: Alatar.7364

Alatar.7364

Hey Everyone,
I must have totaly missed something, but I still did not figure what it is, so unfortunately I have to put my question here for everyone to see.

Last few years, price of Gift of Souls was cca 30 all the way up to 120 gold, never changed, always only according to the Halloween events, the time of the Mad King.
Its price always followed the same graph -> All year 60-120 gold > Halloween 60-30 gold. After Halloween it took cca 4 months for price to go back to 60+.

Now, it’s price is 5-9 gold and dropping.
I am asking a simple question, Why?

Thanks in advance for explanation.

As I am reading through it, it is really greatly done so far.
Good job, really. The design is nice and clever, too.
I’ll go try to read through it all, it never hurts to recap.
Once again, huge “Thumbs up” for this great work of yours.

EDIT: In my opinion, in the section about current D/P Meta, it would be worth mentioning the importance or rather benefits of sharing the Basilisk Venom with your team before the match starts. And why is it prefered over Impact Strike.
Also, about the alternate builds the so called “Vault Spammer” build would be worth of mentioning, too. It is rather simple, but can dominate 1v1s and team fights as well even in higher tier plays, so it would be an interesting choice for Thieves looking to learn something more about such builds.
About the PvE Written Rotations, some thieves I met were a little confused about them, just because they did not understand why exactly those steps why not different ones and why Evade for no reason. So, it might be of use to mention that those rotations you mentioned are performed in that way to keep up nonstop maximum number of Lead Attacks points to be constantly buffed and that Evades are used for the same reason, 10% dmg buff, apart of dealing damage on their own of course.

Ascended rings drop quite often, I’d say even on regular basis, so waiting might pay out nicely if you are patient and/or don’t necessarily need those rings now. Also, just to be sure, you might know: Don’t forget you can’t wear two rings of the same ‘skin type’; e.g: Two Rings of Red Death.

Exactly as states above ^
To play D/D viably and effectively it requires said power D/D Thief to be already, I’d say very, experienced and rather knowledgeable of his enemies play style and skills. As a power D/D you will have to predict your enemies moves precisely. Atleast in PvP.

Looking for some help with a class choice

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Alatar.7364

Alatar.7364

The answer here is pretty simple.
Warrior or Ranger
Warrior You don’t have to worry about Warriors weapons as the main ones you will want to use is Greatsword and Axe/Mace or Axe/Shield. It is easy to learn, fun to play, and its DMG or Boon grants are very useful and desired in Fractals and Raids alike

Rangers, specificaly Druids (only Druids) are moderatly hard to learn but extreme fun to play. Once you play it at atleast average level people will kiss your feet just to make you play Fractals/Raids with them. You will use Spirits only in Raids, not required in Fractals except for certain high level instances, don’t worry about those. Druids are very desired in Fractals and Rads alike.

Revenant is a suitable option as well, but I am pretty sure that Warrior will be preferd in any Fractal/ Raid group, otherwise it doesn’t differ that much from Warrior when speaking of usefulnes. It is considerably harder to learn and play though.

All of the three professions have a good use in WvW Zerg aswell.

Out of all classes, which would be the most versatile? Which class can be played rather well in every aspect of Guild Wars?

Definitely Druid.
But very strictly speaking Warrior is as versatile, only it’s providing different benefits and types of play than Druid.

Expansion won't be worth it

in PvP

Posted by: Alatar.7364

Alatar.7364

If you are a pvp minded person in this game. PvP i dead the cheat squad killed the NA pvp side plus a stale single style map. Yes you will have shiny new specs that will do more damage then what the last expansion did but.. Still dance in and around circles. Die and you must runnn back to dance around or in circles more.

PvP in gw2 is dead and has been since around season 5. Unranked is more fun these days and even hotjoin. Ranked is a toxic place ( a bit better after cheater fixes not but too late ) that trolls thrive in.

The pve and story will probably be great! I mean sounds like massive maps with mounts but pvp will be left to die while they sell fancy new mount skins in the gem store.

There has to be a better pvp game out there but i’ve looked at them all and there isn’t much choice for even match pvp such as gw2. If gw2 had pvp like gw1 there would never have been a issue.

I’m excited but not excited.

I am tired and bored of all-time pessimist like you. Thinking you must share your negativity on forums for everyone to see, like anybody cared what your opinion is, you are not helping anything with that pointless unsound negativity just scaring new players away and then it is just one step away from whining about dead community. Not mentioning how freaking ungraceful it is toward Anets work to flame unreleased new content already.

Please Change Thief Staff Run/Hold Animations

in Thief

Posted by: Alatar.7364

Alatar.7364

I am actually very much happy with the AA animations. Being a martial artist myself I really like the second auto and the one handed bo staff spin on the third attack allot and don’t want thisenchanged. In fact they changed them on HoTs launch and I very much appreciated that.

I should have been more specific. I dislike only the first animation of AA, the second and third are pretty nice and I would not want them changed as well.
The original Punishing strikes were catastrophic I am glad they moved it to Revenant indeed.
The Weakening strike is a little bit out of place as well but I myself dont really have any idea what animation would fit better :/

Edit: I am speaking from Sylvari perspective, each races animations differ in one way or a other but I consider the Sylvari one to be the most beautiful one. Especially AAs 2 and 3 chain.

Thiefs current Staff stance is with all due respect absolutely horrible, not fitting, and it has been haunting my very dreams since the HoT came out. Above mentioned are exactly what Daredevil needs and I would definitely be also up for some AA animations changes as well.
The actual stance is without any doubt kind of ruining the Daredevil “feel” and often prevented me from playing it although Staff Daredevil is my main.

In many cases it is a good call to write to the guy who is being insulted and tell him something normal or rather encouraging to go on, because ragers like the guy who is insulting him/ her are partly the reason why some people discontinue PvP.

I read your post twice to try and understand, but I must admit that I propably did not, at least not fully. So I will just plain and simply ask, feel free to correct me: What you suggest in your post is that the adjusted match maker takes, by a great deal, in to account a very personality/character of each possible candidate for a match? If so, wouldn’t that create nearly infinite ques that would in the end, end up being manipulated? Also, wouldn’t it totally exclude certain individuals from the matching because they would fit to no one?

Thief against Condi spammer thief = ?????

Posted by: Alatar.7364

Alatar.7364

Well, first: Don’t fight them at all. Just skip, decap, +1, anything, don’t bother.
But if you really have to 1v1 them, for any reason, or its just simply necesarry to do so then you have to manage to land one burst at them and lock them between their DB/Dodge evade frames. Once you do that and they still live just jump away from them and let them spam their DB and Evade, because they most definitely will do that, stay on shortbow during that time and press from range. Then jump back with another burst. 90% of time you can not stay near them and AA them, cause they will evade everything and apply condi with it, so Burst-escape-shortbow-burst.

You run decaps, people yell at you for not +1.
You +1, they all leave you facing 2 enemies on your point and yell at you for not decapping.
EVEN IF YOU DECAP ALL match people will still flame you for not decapping which proves my point that majority never look at map. Like ever.
I had teams flaming and yelling at me for not decapping point that was camped by trap guard or a druid all match. They actually expected me to get decap vs a DH. LOOK AT MAP, people!!!!

Things like this make me want to record my games just to show what kind of crap you have to put up with as a thief for simply existing.

So true. So freaking true. Yesterday I got flamed by two guys at the end of the match for not decaping, which was not true at all, and for not 1v1 Engi at Far….. When the match ended I had every single available Top Stat, every, single, one and noone else in the team had any. But yeah I guess I am still a noob for not decaping a point with Engi on it.

Why are Thiefs so toxic for a PvP team?

in PvP

Posted by: Alatar.7364

Alatar.7364

Anet and all their wisdom created a circle dancing non competitive style of pvp that requires just zerging mid and having 1 bow teef run around.

Anet failed when they made a 3 circle dancing routine with a super speedster class available. Teefs have no purpose other then to decap and back cap in gw2 pvp. Its the easiest class but the one that does the most hurt to the other team. So you can have a ftp pug come in on teef and just sb 5 all around the map and win matches. When pvp is that easy for 1 class its non competitive. Hell gw2 start i was one of those first main teefs who rolled thru circle dancing. then it got boing quick because it’s so bland.

-SB 5 around to a point decap

-Maybe cap it if team needs mid help just de cap

-If you need the cap you hold and cap

-If someone gets near you then run like a lil coward like you are to the opposite side of the map.

“Repeat above sequence”

If after a year or so of playing Teef if someone still mains it in pvp then that just means they lack pvp skill other then to dance between little circles every game. Teef got boring after a few months, got all classes now adays.

I do Multi-class beyond the realms of your imagination and Thief is single handedly the hardest one to play and master. What you say is such a **** that it’s laughable and sad at the same time. I met lots of people like you, who acted and claimed the same, but after a bit of conversation it was obvious they claim all that because they tryed Thief and got shreded to pieces and were never able to master it. I bet you are no difference.

The people complaining on forums, those you are talking about, are not complaining about losing the match, they are complaining about not having a chance to win one and that alone has nothing to do with how “sharp” they are.
Now to you both, it seems like it is fine, but Gold has such a big player pool that blow out matches are not likely to happen at all, while in Platinum + it gets much much worse. There are dozens of people complaining about that and only very few who dont, and none of those who don’t are above Gold. The rumours are true, only it is not fault of any algorithm, as many like to claim, but a fault of low player pool for Platinum and Legendary, cause it is giving the mm no other option but to create uneven matches in order to at least provide one.

IS D/P really "Meta" in lower ranks??

in Thief

Posted by: Alatar.7364

Alatar.7364

D/P is the most viable set for a Thief to be used. No matter the what ranks you use it in. Also, weapon set/ build is not to be blamed for your teams performance. When your team is not giving you room to play the way you are supposed to play then nothing will fix hit.
About the other sets: You said that the Condi one allows you to 1v1, but generally you shouldn’t waste time 1v1ing. Such build will only prevent you from doing your Thief job to its full extent.
About Close at start, what you say is true not true =D Enemy usually comes your Close in 10 matches out of 100, Atleast in my matches, if they do you can insta bail and quickly decide the fight at mid. But otherwise it is not a mistake if you go Mid at start, dmg spike is useful ans team stealth too. Far, in the other hand, is something else. Going Far alone would be a great mistake as it is the same as of you went Close with the exception of that you will waste much more time, and propably your life, too. I strongly suggest going Far only with. Duo-Que mate, or if your team wishes to use Close/Far strategy.

What's with all the thieves hacking?

Posted by: Alatar.7364

Alatar.7364

While it is true that most of the hacks are movement based and also true that the hack related to stability, etc. would be propably more complex to create it still does not exclude its existence. You actually said it yourself: You did not see the flying/ teleporting hackers even those though there were quite a few of them to see, yet even though you didn’t see them you and everyone else knows that they exist, so when I saw the stabillity thingy myself how could it still mean that they do not exist?

Because abilities, boons, and all combat related calculations are done by the server not by the client. Your “hack” would require the hacker to have access to the official arenanet servers.

While I believe that this makes sense, it still doesn’t mean it cannot happen. If I remember correctly there was a time Anets Servers got hit by hacker/s pretty hard, so it is still not out of question.

The hack in this game are movement related (and its the topic of this post) invisible o flyiing (never see one but devs banned some time ago) this because somehow they work on the coordinate of the pg.
Now i think ignore stability i a moore difficult hack and i dont thik can exist

While it is true that most of the hacks are movement based and also true that the hack related to stability, etc. would be propably more complex to create it still does not exclude its existence. You actually said it yourself: You did not see the flying/ teleporting hackers even those though there were quite a few of them to see, yet even though you didn’t see them you and everyone else knows that they exist, so when I saw the stabillity thingy myself how could it still mean that they do not exist?

What's with all the thieves hacking?

I saw hackers of all classes in PvP. But mostly it was just teleport to enemy player or knockback with several stacks of stability, but I have never seen what you are talking about and it’s rather …. Interesting that only thieves do that, as the name of your thread suggests. Are you sure you are not just over reacting to a simple Shadowstep + Steal? Cause I have met plenty of people who failed to see that and called hacks without thinking twice. Now, I am definitely not questioning your powers of observation, but merely pointing out that we have been to that whole suspicious “The Thieves are hacking” thingy before.

Boon strip sigil and bye bye stability there is no hack olny ppl who dont know the game. For example point blank can hit remove stability and knok back you with the right timing

I am sorry, it is propably my fault that you missed the “with several stacks of stability” part of my post, I should have written the “with several stacks of stability” in bold.
In all seriousness tell me: If you get hit by a boon strip, be it sigil, trait, weapon skill, shouldn’t it, by a pure coincidence just hypothetically, remove the removed boons icon from your boon bar as well?

Then can be some trait reapply stability.
I use this sigil and i get a lot of whisp they say the same words, now i am sure i dont use hack and lot of ppl say i report you and i m here…

Try use this sigil maybe you can get the same whisp

You totally did not answer my question. But that doesn’t matter.
I just so happen to be using such sigils as well, never stripped so many boons to get past stability with several stacks.
I am simply telling you I got knocked back with stability few times. No reapply stability trait and the boon was still there, with its timer and it’s stacks. Just because you strip lots of boons it definitely doesn’t mean that there are not people who actually use hacks.

You could have 1 stack or 25 stacks of stability. A corruption, steal, or strip will remove the whole boon not just a stack. Only interrupts will remove 1 stack at a time. This appears to be the classic case of someone that doesn’t understand the game mechanics and accuses others of cheating.

And you appear to be a case of someone who doesn’t read my posts at all, sir/madam.
1) I have never ever accused anyone of hacking. Not in game and most importantly not on forums or in any of my posts, did I?
2) it brothers me a lot how both of you happily ignore the fact I mentioned a few times already: that the boon was still on when getting knocked back and was still there (in effect) after I got knocked back it was not removed at all.

I would say Druid Shoutbow, if you play it well and the enemy is stupid then you can be 1v3 90% of the match without dying while your team just totally outnumberes the rest. Engi can do that too.
As thated above Thief is good too, but in my own experience that works only and only if your team is already a little bit good. If your team doesn’t know what to do at all, especially just a little bit of rotations then as a Thief you would not be able to do absolutely anything at all even if you were the best one ever

And THE WORST one of all…
People who are actually useless acting like it was my/my duo’s fault that we lost the game, even though we are the ones carrying almost all the time.

Agreed, this is the worst. ^

When youre doing well, winning your fights ….having that random person on the team die and shout “this thief is useless”. Eventho youre steamrolling ppl and decapping every occasion.

Every. Single. Time.
Thiefs fault now and always…..
