Guild Wars 2

I play D/D ele bunker in tournaments i do competly great dude… Ele is not even my main i disract whole enemy teams for several minutes, capture sidepoints very fast and heals my allies and rezzes them very good too.. Stop saying that ele is crap. i NEVER die in duels. so shut up about that and be adaptive

Asura male! Bouncing around in batlefield as a little elemtal gizmo is beast

Well Shadow escape is fantastic in dungeons, teleport away from mob horde and let the others attack and take aggro from them while you self rez

Master of Timespace.2548:

Warrior because of banners. Banners are around 30% more party wide damage. However, in a warrior party thief does the most damage. So thieves are good choices if your team already has a warrior or two.

Thats support dude, not damage.

Thanks. I’m currently leveling with D/D and SB and haven’t had much experience with backstabbing yet.

Id get infusions of shadows (Shadowarts adept trait) To keep up a steadly chain of what i told you. Just a quick note is that you’re prolly the most sqishy guy in the world aside from bad eles. :P i remeber circa level 70 i got oneshotted by a random risen mob over and over :P so watch out for that but its rewarding in the end though due to high damage, i soloed eye of zhaitan at 5 minutes with masterwork gear

Guardian?! What the kitten? Where the heck did you get that from?! Guardian is 4th on lowest direct damage, only higher than ranger, engi and necro… XD

I disagree competly, i usally gank mesmers at secs in wvwvw at my thief.

Warrior axe do NOT go past thief single target damage.

No, we thieves can keep up solid direct damage with C&D —> BS --→ AA chain —>Repeat, but yes warriors are more tanky while they are better at selfbuffing but thats why you got 1 warrior with firefield, and 2 thieves with cluster spam.

Condtion engineers and healing signet warriors. are best at 1v1, and for zergfights as many guardian or warrior they all got their perks best is a lot of both. 4-5 mesmers for utlity, and 3?thieves to stalk out outsriders And 4 staff eles. i belive is the best setup for zergs. 7 necro’s nuking would also be a great addition

Thief IS the highest single target damage no doubt, second is either mesmer or ele. followed by warrior.

This was AWFUL, nonrealistic and worst colour combinations EVER! Straight blue and straight orange without even any texture is A-W-F-U-L Best colour combination is abyss and cocoa atm

Really, letting them play is just fine! It gives them early veins to become a great player! But really high armor classes is the most facerolly and perfect for kids Just turn off the chat Whatever you do do not give him a thief/engineer/ele as they’re the most active classes. Btw look up bogotter at youtube, he get he’s childs at same age as you to play the game just fine

I really disagree on that, becuse p/p has allways been USELESS and broken.

Erm. No.
Its probably on par with every non-warrior zerker setup. I’m able to string together 3 or 4 unloads for about 7-9k each, sometimes 10 or 11k if I have full might stacks. Id say thats not too shabby.

Well, a dodge or a CC and you waste 5 init, it also suffers from only having 1 source of damage, and that is not AA.

I really disagree on that, becuse p/p has allways been USELESS and broken.

Or bloodlust buff?

Could it just be the reset?

Not to sound harsh, but ive never heard of either you or your guild :P

Failth.2935:

It’s something with Sylvari cultural T3 medium. First I noticed that dye slots were completely changed at least on male. But after trying to fix the dyes I noticed that they react completely differently to the gear after the patch.

I Attached a picture of my gear before and after the patch using the exact same dyes on the same slots

My helmet, shoulders and gloves are not T3 and they look exactly the same as pre-patch, but boots and the chest look completely different

Not sure did this change how every dye react on the gear, but at least glacial dyes look completely different. I had to remove Deep Glacial Sky from boots & chest and I just bought it couple days ago ;__; Such an expensive dye…. feels like wasted now

(Left before -, right after the patch)

Kudos, best sylvari ive seen in my life!

Just dont fall in same trap as haloween did this year great holiday was made awful :P

Bump for the win

Ey, the snowball game was really fun! Sniping or running over ppl

Hey guys! I just wanted to make a tread about how you people think wintersday should be this year, and what you liked most about it last year.

My opinon for last year:

This best patch i’ve experinced. so many things to do, all activites aside from that music kitten was atleast 20 hours of entertainment for each avtivity, and the jumpingpuzzle was 20 minutes as thats how fast it took me to finish it, i also loved that an airship like moved from city to city each day, it brang ppl out in the other cities and it really gave that LIVING world feel, whole guild wars 2 december was WINTERDAY, screw pvp, wvwvw, open world WINTERSDAY FOR THE WIN!!!!!

How i want it to be this year:

Almost exactly as last year, but id replace that music thing with another minigame, make a tribulation mode of the JP, revamp the airship inside and make the rewards of the patch worthwhile, perfect replacement of the music game would be a dwayna priest VS Grenth, it would be like with spesific skills for the god you pick of these in a deathmatch minigame, then the one which grants most wins in the month, will get like a impact on LS untill next year.

So tell me what you think, and how you want it to be this year, what do you like about last year? Let me and everyone else who watches tread know by writing in the comments!D

Yeah, i know im pro at paint (Not XD)

I expected nothing and still was disappointed.

Instance = Killing some mobs, then a champ you can kill naked with green weapons, no story

Tower Event = running from one event to another that require no challenge or skills, just boring after 3 ones. What is the purpose of a big tower if you cannot enter it? Maybe that will change. Probably a dungeon.

Witches = kill them three times, no mechanics. I was hoping for some boss fight here. More waiting to spawn then anything else.

Obelisk Hunt = nice, as you can see them from far away, the first scavenger hunt I enjoyed. Although the Veterans guarding the obelisks get a bit annoying.

Cleaning Spore Corrupted Mobs = maeh, running Queensdale Champ train, as this is too random. Boring, grindy.

New skins = don’t like them. But sure some people have use for them.

New Skill = worthless at the moment – we’ll see. Probably if toxin concentration will spread out to in the future it could be of use.

New Receipes = have no use for them, but some might have and might even enjoy the grind here. At least the receips offer you to do something with the bloodstone dust.

Visual Appeal = seems rushed, tons of re-used elements from Tequatl 2.0. New Krait are nice though, but same lame mechanics as before, meaning none. At least something would have been nice.

Toxic Effect = can’t even describe how lame this is gameplay and visual style wise. Yeah, the sound effects are nice when you hear them the first time. After that it’s just annoyig. Also has zero impact on playing and can be completly ignored.

But at least something is changing, hope changes don’t just go away but we finally get some permanent impact on the world.

All in all just another fill-in, still hoping because of some bigger works going on. 14 days release cycle is too ambitious and I expected some rushed patches while working on something more profound ones.

Basically I was done with all of this patch in a couple of hours. Nothing to explore, no interesting rewards. Moving on.

At least Anet didn’t require us to do to 250 spore events or collect 1000 spores. So at least not a total boring grind, just boring.

Dude, giving the npcs certain proffesions and make more out of it than particle effects is great, for example phantasmal defender, or kasmeers spell she used on the tower.

No, really this was quite great! Way better than the halooween patch!

Hay, i just had to give feedback about this really great patch! I love how the enemies can be stomped, and the instance was fantastic, spesific classes, and useful spells and combat imfact of the classes! ;.) that’s really cool! The area was also fantastic designed and the new skills is perfectly balanced, however it wasnt competly perfect, as living stories in the patch, it got trouble with telling players what to do, becuse after the great instance you just get put in kessex’s hills and no idea on what to do. And its about a little to mutch open word teamfights. But great patch guys!

I’m still waiting for you to stream or record videos to show us all how pro you are.

Infact im awful at sword/dagger, but we’l see xD
btw, your 3 zerker 3 solider concept is actually better than valkyrie on THIS spec, but on a hidden killer D/D, 3 valk is stillb best, but here with no hiddden killer il infact run 3 zerk and 3 solider

As Ive shown the math for repeatedly, that depends on how much of your damage comes from those “From Stealth” attacks, and only if you have Hidden Killer. Most people will never hit the plateau where Valkyrie is actually better for DPS in situations that matter, and the Soldiers mix offers more EHP.

Im not gonna make this thread about PVT + zerk VS valkyrie, but when playing d/d its all about the backstab’s damage you can sacrifice backstab damage for HS/C&D Damage and EHP, backstab is all that matters here, but PVT + zerker is really great for s/D

Thanks for feedback guys! More is allways welcome!

This did not include power of the mist and bloodlust as it can vary , not guard leech either due to im still working on applied fortidute so gonna take a long time, i included applied fortidute though.

Hi fellow sneaky, acrobatic, high damage, genius, and such thieves, i play a dagger/dagger thief typical 0 30 30 10 0 i usally do 1v6 at the best, and i tried to swap out my dagger with a sword, i didnt even chance spec, and guess what i survived 1v3 for 6 minutes untill allies arrived: (condi meta burst necro) (Phantasm mesmer) (uplevled warrior) Ad that was with a shadowarts build, and poor gear optimzation and 1 hour of gameplay, guess what i made a spec that was made for that on my theorycraft, i got like fantastic stuff 3,500 power + 60 % chance + 116 % critdamage + 18 k hp, possiblity for passive movmentspeed cap. So i tought about making videos, when i got my gear and some training (will take some months atleast) since i tought S/d thief wvwvw gameplay was really not much off, i wanted to make videos, i so i wanna hear what community think shall i make videos about that in the future? if so how, commentary or just gameplay? id appricate a Yes/NO And if you say yes id also apprichate advice if you want

Well P/D is a really great weaponset, but it’s about playstyle, i prefer direct damage

Weakness + more condtions + aoe knockdown + 100 % damagereflect on AUTOATTACK!

Hell no OP skills ^

Infact movementspeed to stack but they cap at 33 % of course there is some skills which exceed the cap, ele and engies :P but it usally caps at 33 % and do stack

So title says it all.

Becuse im a solo player, and i only play thief proffesions, which is awful for zerging thats why i roam..

Hammer guard..

In fact you actually crit more than 50 % with a 50 % chance, due to fury/hdden killer

Precision is never better than crit damage if you got hidden killer or 50 % + critchance.

1+ for armor…..

Imagine under a SM assult.
Commander: Mesmer at both gates!
Zerg: Dies
Commander: Respawn!
Zerg: rushes to gate
Zerg: rez mesmer
Then that mesmer run and rez the other mesmer, then they port whole zerg to inner

I argee with kodaik.

S/P is awful….

There is kind of a sweet spot on critchance around 50 %

Screw critchance on damage…

And you shuld try to look around often if you are being snuck upon or move a bit faster

We are thieves, we are either stealthing every 3 sec or having 70 % evade uptime

Screw winning, there is a truth done with that, if you only care about winning go play some football or some kitten like that. I tell the TRUTH…

Edit: by the way if you cant dodge killshot or turn around for a backstab you are an AWFUL player.

if you plus all 3 modes together d/p will be atleast 50 % more than any weaponset.
