Guild Wars 2

Krezil

The Mesmer who came up with the illusion powered G.O.L.E.M.

Who said that the illusions he used was of good intent.

im glad this got stickied cuz this build or some modifyed versions of it just work so well together in both pvp and pve.

If u rewatch the video of what they are planning to do this year they say they are trying to make the other zones that we lvled in more useful and that they are not planning to add any new hugh map areas but work on the ones they currently have. Jormag would have drakkar lake really and that would be a new map area and not a small one at that. The other dragons are not even close the the areas they have for frost and flame and the name of it clear says something to do with the flame legion and the icebrood.

Ok ppl first anet is not releasing one of the next elder dragons but they might be adding some lore to one of them that is linked to flame or frost cuz after zhaitan has died the other dragons make be making moves on other areas alot more stronger. O and also the char and norn have a good relationship with each other so this might be some link with the flame legion and the icebrood. Kralkatorrik should still be in the crystal desert.

Old pic was a asura thief, well he got deleted and i rerolled human thief but this guy is my true genius. Hes just another asura mesmer.

I know ppl want tybalt and the others back but they are not coming back. Tybalt did die and depending on how he made the lock in the whispers hideout the risen could of used it and it could of locked itself afterwards and also the eye of zhaitan says that he is part of zhaitan. Sieran is sylvari but also sylvari can die but wont be turned and after she dies u might encounter a random event in some areas where a risen mentions sieran and u have to kill that risen. Forgal i have no idea of him cuz i havent done the vigil part. The story has alot of good npcs dying which makes u want to just make zhaitan feel the pain of loss like your toon has felt.

This is a new practice among new mmos now to bring out just the beginning stuff on the release of a new mmo and then give us the real good stuff later the last few months have been more of fixing and a hint of whats to come in the future, but i would say get to 80 first and get like 2 sets of exotic gear and run fractals until u get maybe one ascended item and then take a break depending of if ther is an event coming soon o did i forget to mention do some wvw or spvp while doing the other things. Or u can take a break now since i dont think anet has any events coming this month.

First off i love this profession and all the nerfs to the profession hasn’t hit my builds i play but i have played the ones that have been nerfed and here i am to give my input on the profession.

1. Weapon skills. Sword /pistol. The pistol whip nerf was needed but not that much of a nerf i would like the damage to be increased a little more but not to what it was at, but i personally dont like the whole i cant move while doing this skill.
Sword/dagger. Flanking strike needs to have its pathing fixed and have it follow your target so it would be more better in pvp because using it on a moving target very annoying.
Dagger/dagger. Backstab is fine how it is. People just cry when they get hit really hard very fast its common, they just need to get over it. Heartseeker spam is a show of bad skill. Dancing dagger nerf. The nerf to this skill was needed so plz increase its damage back to what it was cuz the dagger was a good way to slow your target and if they was to the point of dying a good way to finish them off but after the nerf its just use for the slow cuz the damage is not worth it at all.
Pistols. Bodyshot needs it cost reduced and damage increased because its just not worth using.
2. Stealing. Ok the trait that has us goin into stealth when using steal can start an auto attack right when he is used taking us out of stealth which need to be looked at.
3. Stealth. ok in wvw the whole culling thing needs to be looked at and explained to us what the game is doing and why we cant see some thieves coming out of steatlh. My main problem with stealth is that everything that should give us the stealth debuff does not give it to us meaning ppl can chain stealth if they wanted to but its not reconmended they do it.

Well that all i can think of but like i said u havent nerfed my builds i use, but atm the profession is goin downhill and im seeing if u nerf a few other things the profession will just be a waste to play.

OP they have said they have more than one team working on things. The team that works on event has nothing to do with fixing things like profession bugs or some zone bug, but i do think they do need to stop with the one time only events like they are doing and do like a one day only event so ppl can atleast have time to do it.

He’s looking at you.

Unloading on him.

The mods moved it here cuz u might have posted it in the wrong place. It happens and plz dont rage, and before u start saying how some things like stealth needs to be changed plz roll a thief and do everything that u posted and come back and rethink what u posted.

My Thief in Lions Arch enjoying himself and him in his pvp stuff.

Like the title says i just got the $15 1200 gem card and i go on game and input the code and it says the code cant be redeemed. Do ive tried putting spaces and tried caps and lowercase and still says the code cant be redeemed. So what should i do?

i just had to see this post after i saw the misspelled word of destiny, but really thieves are someone balanced and op in pvp at times they nerfed 3 things that needed to be nerfed but didnt fix some of the things that needed to be fixed.

ive seen some good things with the build im using atm ill link it to ya

http://www.gw2db.com/skills/calc/thief#2|3|2642|2631|3361|3997|11435|25|1143|1715|0|30|1195|1193|1728|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|15|786|0|0|0|0|3|28032|28017|53501|53501|53501|53501|53501|25790|21080|0|0|0|0|

with the playstyle i use is making good use of skill 2 and using flanking strike when needed but other than that im letting skill 1 do the work and skill 4 do its work and CnD is not bad since we do stun with tac strike making it somewhat good.

once u learn the fights and each path i the dungeons u will know when to be in melee and when not to be in it.

To be honest i dont think they will open all of the world to us but they will add other continents like elona and cantha(heard cantha wont be coming out for gw2) and other places but not the whole world, but im sure elona we will see cuz of the events that happened in gw:nightfall. Now for areas that are on the map now but cant go to might very well be open later on. I know for sure northern shiverpeaks will be open to use later cuz of the waypoint that is in frostgorge sound.

i got a small list of which profession is better than what in the game for the cloth wearers. Its for the alt im planning to lvl and i would like some other ppls input.

Who’s the better at:

Melee:
Ranged:
Support:
Damage:
Survivability:
Vs. 3 mobs:
Vs. Warrior or Guardian:
Vs. Veteran mobs:

I would love to know what profession is better in those areas so if u can post which is better plz do i need your input. Thank you and have a nice day.

Get this right ppl its not a new big area its just going to be a small area with stuff for the event and current zones are getting some new stuff.

They dont put a link to your toon and maybe your gw1 toons cuz its totally up to u if u want them to be descendants of some hero from gw1.

Male commoner Tyrone Wise and with his sister both are descendants of Jaguar Wise one of the heroes from Elona who helped Komir gain the power of a god. The mother of them put her heroic family past behind her and traveled to kryta before the the connection between elona and the rest of tyria was broken and still Tyrone and his sister knows nothing of their heroic bloodline.

try out builds yo u never know u might find a build u really love that u made up.

People People. Haste has one drawback to it. It uses all of the thiefs energy meaning they cant dodge after using haste. Pistol whip needed a damage nerf so ppl wouldnt always go for sword/pistol all the time but the real question is why they didnt nerf 100 blades from warriors.

I have and lvl 80 asura thief and after getting to lvl 80 i kind of wish i rather lvled a human thief, so im wondering is it worth lvling another thief as a human or should i wait to see if they will add a race change option later on to change his race?

How is the Necromancer?

i cant describe how much fun necros are. just do the starting event for making one and then go to the mist and try all the weapon combos and skills for the class u might like it.

i play a thief but i say guardian just cuz they have the best all around stuff but range stuff.

Lets see i stopped playing wow, aion, rift, tera, and swtor for this game and the only thing i dont like about it is that they didnt have the dervish profession in the game and might not ever have it back in it, but im fine with that.

arminius.5270:

I guess my question is this… is there a HUGE gap in WvW between 80’s and non-80’s? I don’t have an 80 yet, so I have nothing to compare it to. But I am getting killed very fast ( and I mean very ) in WvW. Thieves are hitting me with CD, backstab, heartseeker for almost all my health, that is an almost instant combo. Engineers actually take 3-5 seconds to kill me

I think ther is a gap in WvW as far as gear is concerned i do do more damage as a full lvl 80 than when i was like lvl 40 or 60.

Honestly once u learn how alot of other professions work u learn to avoid or out do those things. Pistol whip, 100 blades, stealth, etc etc once u know how to get out of those u can find ways to get out of alot of things.

if i remember correctly the difficulty changes depending on how many ppl are doin the event and all of the skill point challenges are soloable.

Humposaurus.5764:

@Arcalas and all other farm bashers, great that you like to not farm and that you have not had issues with the DR. But please try to also look from an another player’s perspective. Some of us (a minority or not) like to farm efficient.

If your a gamer that havn’t had problems with the DR, then thats great for you. But don’t come here telling other people that what they are experiencing wouldn’t happen if they played this game the way you do.

We all like to play our games our own way. Some like to get to the max point ASAP, while other like to stare at a tree 5 minutes. Should we be punished for playing the game? The answer is obviously NO!

As for the statement that we rush through to many events to quickly. It isn’t our fault that DE’s give gold medals after a single kill. Why should I waste my precious time on completing one event, when I can tag 5 events in the same timeframe?

Instead of implementing a system that hurts efficient players, they should have gone and:
- Either up the difficulty of the DE’s so it will be harder for them to complete.
- Make it that you need to at least finish 70% of the DE in order to obtain gold. Also make the difference between bronze, silver and gold larger. Right now the difference between silver and gold is maybe 50 karma.

Hump i know it looks alot like im trying to tell ppl how to do something but u have to see what could happen if they didnt have the DR in the game. If DR was not in the game some farmers would stop playing the game after they got everything they wanted in about 2 to 3 weeks. But i have a feeling anet will change how far the DR will go later one when more stuff comes out or they see not many ppl are farming some areas like orr.

Honestly just wait to see what anet does cuz things do change just like they made it some what punishing for some ppl who over do it. Example is with the token rewards at first it would take u forever to get some of the token rewards and now they made it so on your first time on a path u get 60 at the end instead of 30 when finishing that path. Things change just wait it out to see.

They werent ment to be the best looking things in the game.

Honestly they way we took out zhaitan is ok. We made it so he couldnt fly and he decide to just hold on to a pillar and try to fight us while we shoot him.

But i do hope the other dragons have more to do in future content.

The claw of jormag is the best dragon event in the game and best dragon fight in the game and the shatter has the best death.

See ppl dont understand the whole change here. See the point of it is to break ppl who farm all the time in one area to stop doing that and enjoy the rest of the game. See this is created from playing mmos that have u farming an area of mobs or resources to get the end product.

Example: In WoW u would farm elementals cuz they sold the most on the auction house or u would farm an instance cuz it was fast or gave the most tokens or loot and u could do it all day with no problems and dont have to go anywhere else.

In GW2 u cant.

Karma at max lvl u get from events is the same across the board at lvl 80 in any zone of any lvl and the silver and exp u get from the events, and ppl want the fast way of farming so they stay in one spot that might have 2 to 3 events going on as a chain.

U dont do that cuz anet will make it so u cant cuz they dont want u farming the same area all the time.

The grind u u call it. The only grind i see in the game is the grind for the legendary weapons and for weapon skins in which they are making the grind for the dungeon skins better and the pvp grind but thats mandatory. Thats all the grind this game has. Everytime i see someone say this game is a grind at endgame it makes me laugh.

Understand u can get exotics from crafting, mystic forge, off the trading post and from the dungeon vendors. After u get the exotics if u dont like the way it looks u can grind your way to a new piece and use it for a skin for what u got and the karma vendors with gear is for the skin if u want it or for the stats in which u might be able to find on another item and if u really love your race or like how the skin look on the cultural armor then go ahead and find way to get that skin cuz im sure u dont want the stats on it.

ppl are making money off of ppl who are just buying crafted gear and using it for something like they just sold. A weapon sold so they can buy a new chest piece that u might have made.

I have posted this already on another post but i have not hit the DR cap at all. I get the max rewards for doing events like claw of jormag and shatter and i dont run the dungeons alot to even touch it and my gear is all exotic but some weapons and my rings and earrings and stuff and I farm my ore, wood and etc and move to other areas in the world for other things in which does make my money. Im a casual player who enjoys everything in the game he plays.

Farming the same thing in the same area is boring. Mix up your gameplay u never know what u might get when u loot something.

Warheart u must be one of the NOT SMART ppl who just farm all day and really hit the cap as for me i have never hit it and i will never hit cuz i know how to bypass it by not farming the same stuff for hours and have some fun while doing it.

Other than that anet did a great job with the game and i really really hope they make future content as enjoyable as this is but greater.

So i see all this talk about DR and i work 7 to 8 hours a day and i play for about 4 to 6 hours a day and i still haven’t been hit with the DR yet now u might wonder why i dont hit it well thats easy, I dont farm just one place for stuff i farm in many areas and i do any lvl DE in the game cuz they give the same amount of karma and etc. Salvaging and selling mats or items even if low lvl cuz some ppl are still lvling do give out some money if u do it right so ppl that are crying over the DR u need to stop farming the same spot u do have other places to farm and farming orr i dont know how u do it cuz i hate that place so ppl dont bash it and stop making the game look like a grind cuz u still have to remember the game has be only out for a month so ya.

O ya the legendary weapons ppl u dont get those in like a week or two those take about a month or two or even more. They was not intended to be completed fast.

I played as a asura and it just felt right when doing things with Tybalt like he was my big brother to the end. Him and a few others that was in the story i really liked but the way u did them made me love them. O ya the last boss at the end of the main story before zhaitan shouldnt of said anything about Tybalt cuz after he did i went H.A.M on him right after.

Thing that needs to be put in is a afk system for WvW cuz ive gone to it a few times and i see the same ppl afk in the base doing nothing at all just standing around and keeping others that want to get in out of of it.

I read the forums and i see ppl crying about the anti farm system in the game and i smile and just imagine me clapping my hands applauding anet for putting it in because they have the guts to try to make ppl enjoy the game instead of farming and flying thru everything and its funny when u do see bots farming the same stuff and in your head just remember that bot is getting totally nothing for killing those mobs over and over again and its even more funny when they die to the same mobs, but i love anet for it and ppl need to stop rushing to get gear cuz the game is not goin away anytime soon and u have to remember u dont pay monthly for it so u can leave and come back to it.

How mounts would impact the game -

- More for people to do, collectables.
- People who don’t use waypoints because it’s too much of a money sink will use mounts to travel the world fast. (I personally walk everywhere).

I cannot see a problem with it.

Its easy to fix the second problem anet could always reduce the cost of the use of waypoints.

Im going by the weapons that is already in the game atm and not all professions will be on this.

Thief: Off-hand sword, main hand axe and rifle.

Mesmer: main hand pistol, main hand or off hand dagger.

Warrior: main hand or off hand pistol.

Guardian: off hand mace. update main hand pistol.

Ranger: Rifle, off hand sword and main hand dagger.

Necromancer: Main hand sword, off hand axe.

Elementalist: Main hand sword and main hand or off hand pistol

Engineer: main hand mace

Had to think about engineer cuz really i dont thing they need any new weapon setups just cuz of how the profession is.

Scythe if they do plan to do this will be one of the weapons for the dervish profession if they decide to bring that profession back to the game from gw and would most likely come with the part we go to elona. This is just a guess of the future.

I got a feeling in the future thieves will be able to have a sword in the off-hand slot.

Vital shot needs a base damage buff. Really i love to play as pistol/dagger alot but the thing that makes me turn away from it is the damage Vital shot does. The bleed is fine just when out of initiative and being force to just auto attack vital shot doesnt add up much at all and with duel pistols spamming unload can be bad when u might have to use head shot to interrupt something and u dont have initiative to use it cuz u had to spam unload cuz thats the only skill that does the most damage out of all the skills pistols have and pistol/dagger u only have vital shot and dancing dagger everything else is utility and body shot needs some work too but i rather have a vital shot buff cuz i could work in some body shots with it atm but not as flashy.

Lysidian.4653:

I feel ya Derpinator. There are a ton of issues with GW2 irking the crap outta me. Everything from the anti farm scripts, DRs, broken rewards for dungeons, broken DEs, broken skill points, poorly tested Orr zones, cut and paste design of Orr zones, lack of content at lvl 80, bots galore, invisible armies in WvWvW, on up to the lack of armor designs. GW2 started out really strong and now it seems ANET cant make a good decision if their life depended on it. I havent felt compelled to play much in a week now, just been lurking the forums hoping for a hint that things might turn around….. was hoping I could stick with this game for a while but every day it looks more and more like I should start reading up on what games are releasing soon. Maybe another developer will get it right.

Hi nice to meet u. Im guessing u dont understand what happens when new mmos comes out do u. They have bugs and glitches when they come out and some are bad and some u can avoid but if u encounter them u report them cuz if anet doesnt know it dont get fixed. Next the anti farm code is not a bad idea and it makes it so ppl dont farm the same area for the same thing and makes u have to move around meaning stopping some bots.

Bots u will see them in every mmo u play and ive only seen two of them and u say u have seen alot of them well if u do do they do anything to stop u from enjoying the game i mean they cant tag mobs cuz u could kill it aswell with them .

Lack of content at lvl 80. what u did speed lvl to 80? If so then u not very smart. New mmos most of the time dont have alot of endgame content when it just releases because they kind of want to lvl maybe two toons but they do have some endgame to do but not alot but this is anets game and its also called guild wars 2 and it is more of a pvp game than a pve game.

I dont want to keep goin cuz i could go on and on and on but u have to think not every mmo is perfect and gw2 plan was to be something different and it did cuz honestly i dont like having to find 10 to 25 ppl for a raid i dont like having a spec or build that i have to use for anything in the game and i dont like games where your gear matters more than your skill, really look at wow u could pass all the lvling content and get to the max lvl and be a noob and do better damage than someone that has more skill than u just cuz the noob has better gear than u. You know all the op cookie cutter builds ppl are using now just wait for ppl to get better with the profession they are playing and watch the cookie cutter builds become nothing but noob builds. Im done this is a wall of text and i hate walls of text.

STOP heartseeker spam then.

no they just need to get rid of the downstate in spvp

it was intended. we are to small and really dont need it cuz our dodge looks like it covers a bigger area than the other races cuz of our size.

I played an assassin in gw and honestly the thief is way better than that class, but u really cant compare the two cuz in gw u could be any combo of class which made balancing harder.
