instead of offering an alternate play style they are strict power creep that throws most of our pre hot builds to the trash bin
good job
Scepter is a pvp weapon (and a mediocre one right now).
A weapon with garbage autoattacks (thus, garbage sustained damage) and no sustained cleave outside dragon’s tooth isn’t going to be good anywhere in PvE.
You could try scepter build to might stack and then use lightning hammer utility, but dagger builds can might stack as well and they are less risky to use since this game hates zerker ele melee in the jungle and dagger melee range is longer than lightning hammer.
And either way staff is better in PvE because these developers can’t even be bothered to balance PvE, where a ranged weapon outperforms a melee one.
how about for solo jungle?
Can anyone suggest a good scepter build for the jungle?(or any other mode)
Can someone recommend a bulky build for the jungle?
im dying way too much with the glassy builds
crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
is d/d ele still good enough for pvp?
anyone??????
Ive been trying to run with full zerk d/f d/h and staff
And i just die way too much in the jungle
I dont enjot the staff for jungle roaming
Can anyone suggest a good build for roaming around the jingle(mostly solo but obv doing events aswel) with eitger dagger or scepger MH i dont care if its tempest or not(although tempest would be more fun)
Is there a cool scepter build for open world pve?
Is there even such a thing?
Since all stances favour power builds and torment seems dumb on a melee character i was wondering if condi rev is even a thing?
is it possible now for someone who mainly enjoys pve(both dungeons and open world)
to main a necro now without being laughed at out of dungeon groups?
hey guys
im a returning player,just got HoT
i wanna start a fresh main but i just cant choose
i prefer mostly ranged,but heres the thing for me
heres the thing for mein mmos i mostly stick to one main and almost never use alts
i want a class that has a role in all the game modes,i dont wanna choose a main and then being locked out of wvwvw for example or dungeons or raids cuz my class is just bad in that game mod
in any mmo ive played so far i never had such a poblem
but here all i see is: class x is not viable for dungeons/wvwvw/spvp so if u wanna dungeon/wvwvw/spvp don’t take it
are there no classes which have a role in all the game modes?
the classes that appeal to me in terms of flavor : ele/ranger/engi/reveran(not in that order)

Is a flamethrower build is still viable in pve\spvp\wvwvw?
thanks for the answers
gonna have to pass i guess
tooo much negativity on the rev
They are very situational.
-Ventari is amazing if need projectile blocks.
-Jalis is great if in a group of mobs (and hammers don’t suddenly dissapear)
-Mallyx is good if needing resistance. (Although if they have boon removal say your prayers and run for your life)
-Glint is good at buffing and tanking (might just be buffing with recent shield/heal needs)
-shiro is good for quickness etc.The problem is when these legends are out of their comfort zones they mostly suck. Ventari is useless most the time. Jalis if there are walls/knockdown/terrain it sucks. Mallyx simply boon removal crushes all of it. Etc etc
i guess i have to pass then
so i should look for something else>/?
’??
hello
returning player,bought hot and wanna start with a new main
is the revenant any good or is it under performing?
Amar, every game has classes that are stronger then others. Balance isn’t that easy to attain, that’s why there are so many balance changes and patches in ANY/ALL mmo style games.
If you feel that negatively about it, then you are probably right, it would be better to not try.
for pvp balance is very hard to achieve without destroying uniqueness
for pve its easy as kitten
you want all classes to have a place right? before we go into dmg calcs
just give every class a useful buff he brings to the party and no class will be "useless"or “unwanted”
here its rather impossible for a class to have a unique buff since its all the same might fury and swiftness
(edited by Amaranthe.3578)
well i guess its not worth even trying
its so easy to balance pve in a mmo and if its not i can only assume they dont give a dam
so lets say as a ranger or necro i wont be rejected from dung groups like i was told?
hey guyz
i have a few friends i wanna play with and im just confused
i wanted to roll necro cuz it looks cool i was told its crap in anything but pvp
OK no biggy i also like the ranger idea
same thing lol
basically what i was told that in order to play in dungeons in pugs and with friends anything but warr guard mesm and MAYBE ele is sub par
also apparently open world farming is important in the end game which i was told some classes struggle with
im so confused
is the balance THAT HORRID?
i mainly wanna do pve which means both open world and ofc dungeons
what classes would be safe choices?
i understand that playing whats fun is important but i would really hate to play the constant underdog that is constantly being over-looked by the devs and thus doomed to be second-best
i guess gw2 isnt a game for me
Not everyone plays the game to be useless and be kicked from every form of group content, you know.
that
guess i will be skipping the necro ;(
so,i bought gw2 at release but never got to play it seriously
now i really want to give the game a shot
the thing is,when playing a mmo,im the guy that sticks to one main through everything,for good and for bad i will play that class
which is why choosing that main is a pain for me
i really enjoy playing the “dark mage” type and necro seemed like the first choice for me
but i keep hearing from people that i know and from people in game that necros are just really really bad now and i should avoid them
i was told that necros are barely viable in spvp,not viable for high-end dungeons/fractals and are ok for generic solo pve(which doesnt matter cause every class has a good build for this)
is really that bad?
i mean,its the most basic type of pvp,just kill each other without any other goal(like arenas)
why dont we have that?
we have massic world on world castle-based pvp(wvw)
we have casual group domination/domination with flag(hot join)
and we have a competetive version of that(tourneys)
but of all the game types we cant have small scale group death match like arenas?
for example 2v2 or 3v3 or 5v5 or any number between those
i mean,for me the most basic form of pvp is just fighting against other guys with just your friend(2v2) or friends(in 3v3 or 4v4 which they can make here)
why of all the pvp game-types we dont have the most basic and imo the most fun of them?
