Guild Wars 2

I also love the skill lagg during large group battles even in pve

1 min pressing a button praying that it will cast the heal before i’m down

i use it very often

the blind is good to help ur team while they are killing also the poison lowers the heal resived, the bleed is also good but not when under focus fire.
It also grants more hp and if u have syphon hp trait it gets hp from everyone it hits and can help to survive longer.

So thats why my shroud goes off in like 2 seconds sometimes
didn’t know that still new to the necro world

Why i have the feeling that VS are playing like their life depends on it ?

nope maybe i had to say press a button ?
anyway what amount of armor i need so i don’t get hit by 8-9k dmg 3-4-5k ?

the problem is they are invis before the attack and sometimes i cannot click a button before im down

Stof what u suggest ? to tell the thief to wait so i can swap armor/traits etc ?
On my ranger i swaped armor traits for more armor/hp and guess what i still get killed only by thieves while i beat others…

i said it before the dmg is not the main problem but that the thief can fail at killing the target and go away every time they want.
I understand that i was surprsised fine my armor is not the best so i got killed.
but why i cannot kill a thief unless he is afk ?

i know that it is not much armor but if i sacrifice all my dmg only to can survive few seconds longer how will i be able to kill anything ?

And why my “no armor” is not problem against any other class ?

Hileron even the staff poison can last longer because of the projectile finishers so its not a big problem unless the target runs around ofc

2.1k armor necro with 28k+ hp
thats in like 2 seconds

A lil later another thief came different build or w/e he failed and vanished great right ?

i agree that thief mesmer and some eles are hard oponents but guardians are my favored
Love to turn all their boons into conditions one second after they clear themselves

S/D and staff as 2nd here conditionmancer

offhand dagger grants aoe weakness + bleed which is much better imo
I prefer to use well instead of this poison

If with staff chillblains + putrid mark = aoe weakness

I don’t play spvp often because i prefer wvw
Usual i run for the objectives not the kills so it’s different.

Boon corrupt and spectral graps help a lot for targets who try to run away.
Scepter/dagger + staff conditonmancer here.

Still new to the necroancer class so i need to improve

i am sure that you are working on it but…
can you atleast increase the range at which enemies start to show up ?
it’s not good to not be able to see the enemies untill they are less than 1k range away

Can we get only green/red circles on the ground that mark the players and then one by one to show up ?
try something simple as solution for start and then focus on how to fix it in a better way

thanks
it’s linen armor, you can find it under “Winged” name

1 sec longer atleast for the scepter
and 2 for the staff will be fine
utility skills are with long cd so i won’t count them

My Norn necro, Will be 80 soon
alt but might become main character because i like it

this is “winged” armor

thieves are very balanced atm one goes between almost 10 players vanishing every second.

either remove initiative and add cooldowns or slow the regen so it can work as CD
or add 10 sec penalty atleast when they go out of sthealth that prevents them to restealth. and for stealth build lower that time but give all other classes chance to atleast hit them once in a while

thanks for the guide found some usefull info

i talk for both pvp and pve and yes the AI of the pets is terrible
in some dungeons they can die even on passive
bears can live a lil longer or a ranged pet but i need to pay attention to it most of the time isntead to be alert on when to dodge for example etc.
i don’t deny that i’m not so good at menaging the pet because i stoped to care when it got 1 shoted few times but that doesn’t change the fact that pets need to be reworked

one game starting with “W” did it right when it comes to pets

DaisyRogers no im not doing it wrong i also soloed a lot of champs mainly in lower lvl zones and some in mid-hight lvl zones with dual bear but some champs are weaker or the champ does not use special abilities so it’s normal

i do use heal for me and my pet but if i waste the heal for the pet which will die few seconds later will leave me vulnerable and i can do much more alive in dungeon or pvp than my pet

not rly sometimes i swap pets and then i use lick wounds only to see the pet trolling me
it works underwater perfect i think that A net will rename ranger class to something more aquatic

happy hunting everyone

find a charr friend and tell him/her to carry you and theres your mount

sry but i want to use pets that i like not one specific pet that can live 10s longer because of ranged attack in dungeon for eg.
melee pets do not attack from behind which leads to beign one shoted by frontal cone attacks
even bears should attack from behind which will make the target to turn its back to us
Pets do not have aoe dmg reduction which is another problem

Yes they are not useless but they are not good enough either
And pls tell me how a little bird got 2k vit but a big cat got only 1.3 ?
Cats might be the best dps but beign 1-2 shoted reduces the dps to zero
Pets are good as long as the player do not go into dungeon, group event to fight champion or to PvP unless it is 1v1

Repair and way points cost is fine the way it is
imo it is too low my gold goes up slowly all the time and i do not farm
you can get more than what u spend w/o even dong something special

If you have trouble geting few silver per day then don’t die and run instead of using WPs also don’t spend all of your money in TP always keep atleast 10s

Ripcurrent.9780:

Just giving this a bump, since having a pet out is annoying for the whole party in the Jade Maw Fractal. Let pets stay put away until we want them back.

oh yeah this needs to be fixed my pet got targeted 4 times i n a row
and overall every 3rd cast was on the pet so we had to wait one hour to finish it

i support the idea pets should go away untill we call them back

LB already got -10% armor with the fixed opening strike + pet hit it goes up to 20%

Point blank shot is fine also it has a good dmg

Rapid fire nees dmg buff because at max range it is better to use auto attack
Long range shot needs to be changed to something like X dmg up to 1k range and 1k+ to have bonus dmg because we are often at 0-500 in pvp or dungeons whith not enough room for more range which lowers our dps too much

Seems like it works perfect underwater and it is pure crap on land

and yes dmg does not stop it unless the pet is downed/interrupted or atleast it worked this way before the patch that screwed it even more

Daemon

their initiative regen is high even w/o traits that increase it additionaly
i can block their backstab using GS then he stealths again and again and again
btw how do u CC something u do not see at all ?
U can use SoS and protect me then what ? there is cooldown on it…
I beat thieves mainly because they think im like any other and that they can beat me in 2-3 seconds the problem is that any thief that uses his brain a lil bit atleast can escape me at any time and even if i survive theres no way to down him

Batlav.6318:

how to report when i can’t see any names ?
the only thing i see is Invader…

they rly need to do something about it
like live GMs or to allow us to see enemy names so we can atleast make screenshots

Hmm, report what? Dance hack?

no just showing that i have nothing to report because there are no names
and yes they hack and and when kill someone they dance
next time atleast try to think a lil bit

Edit: Hermes thanks for advice i’ll know it next time

how to report when i can’t see any names ?

ability 2 works fine but if the target got stability it will only do dmg but not interrupt

and yes lick wounds does not work half of the time

i kill thieves sometimes but the good one stealth and jump around every few seconds and after i blow my CDs they can kill me easy

the biggest problem is that they can use our stupid pets to stealth
i can dodge and avoid it but the pet will be there to provide advantage for the thief

the only problem with thieves is that they can abuse the stealth

their burst dmg is great which is fine because it is what they do
what i dont like is that they can do great dmg w/o dying at all because they can vanish at any time if the oponent can survive long enough to fight back
the only needed thing imo is to increase the time between stealths by adding penalty for short time that prevents them to stealth (10s or something not too long) because there are are no abilities to reveal them including aoe which only deals dmg but does not break it.

the lack of CD and the very fast inittive regen allows stealth to be abused thats the problem not the stealth itself

some kind of penalty to stop em from going invis every 3-4 seconds will be fine
10 sec or something like that

or something with long cd for class w/e to reveal them

Good fight everyone

also for first time i’m hearing about somene who’s acc is hacked to go into WvW after server transfer only to screw the enemy team
usual accounts are beign hacked for the gold so it can be selled for RL money
i can call it a miracle or something like that

did it’s job 2-3 times out of 10 yesterday
after they buffed it it works less

if u have high ground is one but when enemies are runing after u GL using the spring

the only thing we need as i said somewhere above is improvement of renewal because it depends too much on where the pet is and is it alive
overall it’s not so bad but some love for it will be nice and if neede the CD can be upped a bit for balance im sure that it is not a big problem
I also use the troll urgent and it does the job much better for me
after all we all have different style so one skill doesn’t work the same for everyone

I support this they can add more lvl 80 content theres no need to raise the lvl
it doesn’t make difference at all if we don’t count the higher numbers we will get

agree and i support the idea sometimes i want to try my pvp skill against real players not some brainless npcs

renewal is actually the only way to remove conditions unless u spend points in trait lines that u dont’ like and also it depends on the pet which is either dead or away and it doesn’t work most of time

i prefer to see it removing 3 conditions isntead all to be transfer to pet on activation
like any other class or atleast to work at any range (for the master only ofc) for balance can add 30 sec more CD

it is possible but it rly depends on what target u’r hiting
usual it is on bad geared players

average it does around 8~9k

lick wounds is always in Cooldown when u get downed
so in pvp u will get finished before u can use it
it is not too strong in any way also it still doesnt work half of the time

and yes thats the idea of the skill to revive/call ur pet to heal u

Rock dog (black)
Icy shark or w/e the name was
Alpine stalker
Raptor is not bad
Sea scorpion
Electric fish

both will go to the pub to drink

i don’t use protect me but stone singed which is traited and the active effect works for both ranger and the pet which is 6 seconds of nice 0 dmg
it allows me to heal up if neede and to down enemy players combined with some dodges and if needed Block/swoop for distance using GS etc…
1v2 is hard but possible to win it depends on how good enemy players are and if they are soft targets (no armor/hp) and so on

not benefiting the ranger oO revive is to help your team not to benefit from it
If all are dead the ranger is next u know ?
and other classes also need to swap 1 of 3 for revive also so…

Hunter’s shot actually have animation the arrow have effect but only if u don’t use the trait for more range

try with traited long bow and w/o trait for range and u’ll see the difference
and yes u can shoot above the range which leads to confusion

Im sure that even if rangers become immortal there will be stil crying around…
be happy that we get some kind of improvement…

The grass is always greener on the other side right ?
Go to the other side then and stay there…
