Guild Wars 2

As mentioned, Headshot wastes initiative. If you dont keep spamming your skills (this is the part you learn from), you essentially make the thief semi vulnerable and a open for damage.

This is literally a L2P, if they start spamming it, stop what you are doing and wait for 3-4 shots, then move in for the kill. Try to reserve channeled skills for when they run out of initiative this way.

Just an fyi, its reduced sodium in WvW (compared to PvP) with more things to cap and ppl to fight

No, just no, after wvw patch i went there to check out the changes. Ofc, there were few wvw zombies attacking me and dying but whispers i got from them were glorious. Not in a good way.There was more salt in one day of wvw than in entire season of pvp for me and i play thief, which is probably most hated profession in pvp atm, so it says something.

People must not like you then :p

I main WvW (little PvP) and the ratio of PvP toxicity to WvW toxicity would be close to 8:1 (at least for me anyway, and what I see). Maybe its not as bad for me where I /bow after my kills to show respect for a good fight?

I personally get MAYBE 1 whisper every 2 week and maybe see a toxic act once/twice a day while running for 2-3 hours) where in PvP its after every 4-5 matches.

WvW also depends on what server were up against as there are weeks I see no toxic/salty behavior

I didn’t ask them to follow me! They attacked me and i just defended myself ._.

I do not /bow however. Too lazy for that (not to mention, they didn’t deserve it).

More reason to /bow…more of a "Nice try, gf " kind of gesture lol

So after a couple times testing, the stats/trait set up gives me the wonderful ability to take hits/condis, and I did cause 1 pewpew druid to kill himself (reflects ftw), however I feel I need to look at my elite as sneak gyro/mortar/elixir are all useful but situational (will need to find 1 to stick with for the better part of running).

The damage is horrifying (might stacking ftw), however i still feel like im missing something but I dont know what. I find blast gyro is still epic, however feel that where im specced for HGH, I dont use enough elixirs (i swapped out my elixir heal for gyro, I found when I am waiting for thunderclap to come off CD, Rocket charge with water field is a reaaaally good heal). If you were to change 1 utility or trait (minus egun and heal turret as I am happy with my heal now), what would you change/try?

condi reaper is god because he can fart 1000 conditions at once and condition removals only remove a 1 by 1 and not stacking ones first. That need to be changed, condi removal first remove stacking dmging condies then the rest.

never seen power reapoer, why? cause everyone and their mother abusing condition build.

I actually recently made friends with a DPS reaper on an opposing server. He was really good.

Just rework conditions to what power builds have to do, grab multiple stats to build up power, not just 1 and rest tanky stats.

That one is not available in Spvp and i wonder why. /s

Spartacus.3192:

The only “solo” roamers i come across are thieves, mesmers and the occasional druid, and that’s because they can generally escape unfavorable situations with ease.

I very very rarely see necros, ele, guardians, revenants, engineers or warriors solo.

So 3 out of 9 classes make the bulk of solo roamers in my albeit small sample experience.

Roaming is now defined by 5 man gank squads. I now roam in a small group because i dont want to waste my time running solo halway across the map just to get ganked by a 5 man squad. (i dont play mesmer, druid or thief)

What tier server you on? I play on a lower tier and see all manner of roamers but this outside peak hours. It much harder to solo roam during high population times unless one goes DBL where overall populations tend to be lower.

I think the higher the population the less likely there be solo roamers and are the more likely they pick a high ability to escape class.

Just adding something to this: Its def harder to solo roam on peak hours, however I dream about the tails I come across and it makes it a bit more enjoyable :p

Spartacus.3192:

Bigpapasmurf.5623:

Well….I can honestly say I cannot agree with this. Even when I solo roam, I still get kills by chopping off the tail of a zerg and beat them 1 a time. Its about picking and choosing when to strike. I understand what you were getting at, however this section could be reworded because as it stand, its not 100% true

By your sig i see you play thief? Thieves, mesmers and druids are probably the best classes for solo play now because they can escape bad situations extremely easily. Thats 3 out of 9 classes. The rest have to group up if they dont want to get frustrated.

You would be correct sir/ma’am. I have played several classes and solo roamed on several (aside from my thief and druid, I also solo roamed on Scrapper and Revenant very well, same thing tho by farming the tails, however there are other classes that can solo roam, however the Meta defines most of the builds people use and none are really meant for roaming. I rarely use meta so I like building for things like solo roaming (things people say that doesnt happen, I try to make happen).

You also seem to be using an absolute statement so I cannot agree with the fact that “the rest have to group up”. I have seen a tempest solo roam and beat a 3v1 from a zerg tail. Same with a DH. Its all in the build. If you are using something non meta and keep adapting/tweaking the build, its def possible

To be fair, this all started because zergs have become far more formidable post xpac and have forced roamers into groups to really get any kills. I do find it a sad state of the game that roaming guilds will expend significant energy in chasing down solo or duo-roamers to get kills because it has become what they hated most in the past — zergs chasing down roamers.

You’re right, I wasn’t trying to speak with an absolute. There are definitely some folks out there who are willing to poke at the zergs and chop their tails while getting some kills, but the majority of roamers I’ve seen will either wait for the tail to be really really long (so not much risk of the zerg turning and burning) or avoid the zergs. Or run condi mesmer / thief /druid and just play mind games.

As mentioned, I knew where you were getting at, so I apologize for that, however it did sound like it was absolute so thats why I mentioned what I did

Meh, for condi cover, I still prefer p/p engi w/ torment sigil…every DPS condi right there and multiple stacks of the ones that hurt the most

Roaming is fun. It teaches you more about your build than being in a zerg (for most cases).

Thanks to roaming, I learned how to fight/beat my counter class(es). I’m not 100% winning vs them (as they are a counter class) but my k/d ratio is far in my favor.

I jump in 2v1’s/3v1’s + if I believe I have even a 5% chance of walking out alive and even surprise myself at times (2v1’d a pewpew ranger and daredevil today while solo roaming…that was a blast). roaming with friends/guildies is also fun (meatshields lol).

I def see a lot of roamers (or groups under 5 ppl). Don’t get me started when I see a ZvZ or see a zerg tail I can cut off joygasm

Nah, anyone with range can at least soft counter them.

Just an fyi, its reduced sodium in WvW (compared to PvP) with more things to cap and ppl to fight

Or….use the condis you give yourself and send them to someone else?

Bezerker.2379:

Generally whomever gets the burst first wins if they force the fight.

Alternatively, you can win matchups where you are disadvantaged by properly using your blinds. Blind is king. And d/p has several ways to do it especially in spvp. Don’t be afraid to use your blinding powder for the blind as well as the stealth sometimes.

Generally this is true, however I can’t count the amount times I have seen a strong initial burst, only to be turned against them and the attacker got rekt….these are the bursts I love to see.

Its actually not that difficult if you pay 100% attention during the fight. Watch where they drop their traps for starters. Condi teefs also tend to eat init/endurance like its nothing so kite out their endurance/init skills and then go for the burst. Also they hate range (pewpew)

Magnuzone.8395:

Nowadays they usually roam in groups of 4-5 ppl with a healer ele, mostly capping camps and killing solo runners. And just rotating the map.

Some roamers can effectively follow a zerg and kill ranged in larger fights, striking and retreating and getting really good kills from it. But too few lack the skills to do so.

Ahhhh…watching for enemies who leave the AoE bombing safety zone… I love eet

That and tail sniping…aka cutting the tail off…my favorite thing to do lol. (which I love more…less AoE bombs)

Until I know I should back off but feel the need to over extend for a kill and almost instantly regret it,lol.

With condi thieves, they go through initiative and endurance really fast. If you can bait out their dodges, thats half the battle right there. If you can land an arcane thievery (for those that run it), it can be deadly, however 1 timed shatter burst with no initiative and/or endurance will take them out or at least make them run.

If you are condi yourself, the torment/confusion stacks will hurt them. They can cleanse them, however your condi sustain will out do their clears quickly as they need to burn pretty important things (agility siggy, shadowstep, initiative on sword) to survive.

Wait what should be removed from the game.? What are YOU arguing for?

Allowing us to slot a new sigil in a legendary weapon and the old sigil is removed and placed into your inventory, like it is with legendary armour.

I dont have any legendary armor, however if I could do this on my legendary weps than that would be amazing :p

Wow some ppl get triggered really quickly,lol.

We all just need to sit down, have a drink and eat some Maple flavored bacon

Next time I see them, I will make sure to stream it. It was nice to see a team of 5 bots and all swarming to mid, watching them all die to an AOE condi bomb from our reaper.

sneakytails.5629:

Yeah, some of my biggest hits are on Druids, not sure why. That is a pretty big non-crit strike though.

Lol not like its hard to do :p

Ugh I would love to find good duelers like this so I can have frequent decent fights. I’d give my neighbor’s left nut.

katniss.6735:

Hardened siege should be removed.
Arrow cart firing speed should be reduced, and they shouldn’t apply cripple. Bleed makes sense, but the damage of a superior AC is insane. It’s like 2500+ on 50 people for 1 ac every 3s. Shield gens do not block arrows. Was this intentional?

I would agree to changing AC so it fires slower and shields block it, if they buff the damage AC does to siege.

5 years into this game and people still blobfest and gankfest and afraid to roam with less than 5 – 10 people.The people made wvw a bore,not anet.Instead of making smaller groups to have fun fights,roam with less,dont rely on broken mechanics,dont rely on downed state to save your kitten.it could have been fun,but it hardly is lately.

So… lets all be thieves then.

Eh..no ? How does that make sense to what i said.

He means that Thieves are terrible at zerging but kings of roaming.

Well…..

Have you seen a decent 8 man teef group take out 80ish% of a zerg that was around 25 ppl? Its a beautiful sight.

Given my WvW main class, I will solo roam a lot of the times (unless there are guildies on). Despite those that play a counter class/build, I still go balls to the wall against them.

I have seen solo roamers as well as 2-5 man (see more of these however). Below are are the build types I see (as I fight anything and everything lol)

Thief – 75% Power, 25% condi
Necro – 10% power, 90% condi
Mesmer – 30% power, 60% condi
Engi – 50/50 (This also applies to what I See)
Ele – 50% power / 50% bunker
Guard – 40% power, 40% condi, 20% bunker
Rev – 50/50 (condi to power)
Warrior – 80% power, 20% condi
Ranger – 55% power, 35% condi, 10% bunker

congrats on top 10

Junkpile.7439:

I was in PvE today. Those miniraptors are frigging crazy. Easier solokill 10 wvw players than miniraptors.

Lol i dunno about that…ive seen some really rood roamers :p

duster.7013:

Most thieves are just extremely bad. It’s an easy thing to say, but seriously just play thief and challenge ones you see in ranked to a 1v1 and watch what happens. That’s discounting the obvious stuff like them fullcapping 90% of the time

If you are NA, I would love to 1v1 people on my teef. Only way to sharpen my skill.

zomgbuffalo.5276:

I think having higher survivability is better since there are many bursty builds running around. Thanks. I will consider TB or Dire and maybe try it out. At least now I know I can pvp with the class and build I like.

For PvP, I ran Wanderer’s trapper build (both druid and core) and rocked it all. Before Wanderers was around, I think I used rabid. Its easy finding team fights, drop traps and/or drop torch 4/5 in the middle and watch ppl drop or bail.

Got my champion title that way for my ranger

@Bigpapasmurf.5623, good point still that is the problem with this game, its all about stack dumb aoe stack & spam…. that is what is making the power creep most of the times, no wonder GW2 is known to be the mmo for noobs and a very bad pvp game…

I don’t know about that. I would point to ones like Runescape for noobs,

PvP aspect (both PvP and WvW) isn’t the greatest I will admit, however I have played worse over the years. BDO is one that I found was worse (I used to play up to last year).

yeah i played that as well, until i got bored of guilds given a safe " buff"to us the wizard so we sould not take damage while in pvp :|

Im glad you understand what I mean then :p

it is sad how MMO makers nowadays are awful (and by awfull is being nice)….

Some try (like ANet), however it seems like its a hard task to make something spectacular due to balance issues.

Anywho, back to topic, Hammer rev damage was nerfed a while back. I have played many classes/builds (some squish) and don’t have much issues vs them as lots of them are predictable. If you are going range, force out their hammer block and wait it out.

If you have any way to stealth, even better.

insanemaniac.2456:

yeah its not bad and looks mostly like a generic scrapper build but i think the problem is scrapper doesnt have the mobility needed in wvw. you wont die when you dont go straight zerk but anyone with a mind to roam wont let you gap close often enough to kill them either.

i run marauder, durability, and eg on one of my scrappers (the power wvw one) and pretty similar to the rest of what youve got and it does a bit better than condi scrapper at surviving but condi scrapper is a better ganker… but in the end, overall, scrapper just leaves something to be desired in wvw. the op weapon doesnt have enough range or sticking power and kits take too much of your time doing 1 thing at a time to really net kills.

Thanks for your post. This build is kitable, however this is not going to be used when solo roaming (that is what I have my teef for lol), however it is going to run in small scale groups which is where it will excel at. Due to past experiences and my evolving playstyle, eg hasn’t been relied on as I find it doesn’t suit me.

In a group fight, this build will be a beast. I just wish they never removed stun on gyro detonation. The build isn’t finalized as the food and 1 utility im not 100% satisfied with so something may change, however i know i can’t stand rifle and hammer does bring a bunch of utility. I will just need to practice, adapt and learn to get good with hammer scrapper again

zomgbuffalo.5276:

I wonder what instead of Viper could go well in WvW? Trailblazers or Dire? Or is there even a better option?

If you want to go straight condi, Trailblazer is the best choice, however its not as easy to obtain so dire is still very doable.

Viper is good if you ant to do something like LB/Axe+torch (for example) but the tough/vit will help you last a bit longer. Your condis wont last as long as with TB gear, however you will have more overall tough/vit

zomgbuffalo.5276:

So I was reviving my old ranger and I realized power is no good in PvE. Performs pretty poorly. So I slapped back my viper’s and stuff. A lot better as condi. I actually kinda like it now more then ever.

Anyway. Was wondering. Is condi ranger/druid any good in PvP or WvW? I would love to do some WvW on the similar build I run in PvE since I don’t like this micro-managment stuff with different armor sets and stuff.

Does any of you run condi ranger/druid in WvW or PvP?

Condi Ranger/Druid was my main Condi build post HoT (with condi engi a close 2nd). Ive seen a lot of condi druids myself but only 1 maybe 2 were decent. The condi burst is real if you use traps (I was actually a SB/Axe+Torch). I tried staff and LB instead of one of my other weapon sets and still did very well.

I too used viper gear when I used LB and i did insane damage. I was squishy af but had some survivability from astral form and traits.

So the moral is don’t complain about anything ever. Don’t let the devs know the shortcomings or features they need to improve, which is arguably the most valuable information they could gain from their player base. All because you say so and you don’t like complaining. Just think without complaining we would have no unions, worker Rights, civil rights or product safety and nothing would ever be improved and we’d never invent anything that improves our lives, because we wouldn’t want to complain, that’s the worst thing ever! Quick get the safe spaces ready, I can’t handle this.

Great logic, if u guys don’t have anything else to say other then to complain about me personally, then u shouldn’t post on the thread unless you’re adding to it.

As of now wvw is a dying game mode and needs help and suggestions, not bashing pvers who are the ones who keep the game afloat so you can enjoy wvw.

It is fine, even important, to report a problem/complain. However, not all issues are as important or even valid.

WvW can definitely use help and fresh blood, but not at all cost. If all the fresh blood care only for reward I say no thank you to your “help” since you are a danger to the game mode rather than a salvation (IMO).

^this. WvW was never about rewards (aside from tourneys, there were no big rewards).

Fresh blood is nice, however not if it is a hazard to the mode. Myself, I appreciate any valid, constructive idea, however if you want rewards, thats what the “reward” tracks are for. Every once in a while I will get an asc box (seems to be once every few weeks), however if you want more, then maybe WvW isn’t for you. This isn’t a bash at anyone, however more of a truth.

Its like a WvWer coming to PvE saying “There should be player vs player combat in PvE”, and I should be able to use a finisher on all NPC’s and monsters."

If thats why they are there and if thats what they want, thats cool, however the longer they stay there, the less happy they will be as its clearly not for them then.

More rewards is not what WvW needs, especially with the reward tracks and dailies/pip system.

Balance will help, however its not a fast fix so don’t hold your breath.

Dawdler.8521:

Oh you’re definetly gonna love scrapper in that build, lol…

Zero ranged means you’re utterly useless in zerging and far too easily kited when roaming/small scaling against any decent ranged build. Sure some targets you’ll be a good fit against (basicly, anything that cant evade well from melee range) but with the vast majority of melee heavy builds either being immortal warriors, hit-and-run thieves or roflstomp look-mom-I-can-stack-40-bleeds condi necros you’re in for a fun time.

I would swap that B for the elixir gun and get some ranged when one cant go in close, plus better facetanking with super elixir, alternativly toolkit to get the pull and block.

I appreciate your input. When I mained scrapper before, ranged classes were ez…minus staff on Druid. I also ran Elixir U instead of B so I had a couple projectile blocks/reflects so had no trouble closing the gap to get melee range (I used to love P/P DD’s kill themselves spamming “Unload” lol.)

I also tried something similar with the Blast Gyro and it worked wonders vs ranged classes (toss it, then start closing the gap as they are focused on dodging the gyro lol)

As a WvW’er myself (I am no vet by any standards, but the last 8ish months WvW was my home whenever I had time to jump on). If they added 1 ticket for each Skirmish chest, I would even be happy with that.

However adding a WvW track that has tickets, or adding a couple for dailies would be a great idea as well.

Either way, it would not hurt anything as players would still need 2k rank to get the awesome stuff….and we all know that’s no quick task.

I also have a guildie/one of my best bromies thats over 2k rank and would love to get more tickets as he doesn’t have THAT much online time as well due to RL.

Tyaen.5148:

Aside from stats, that is the exact build I have played since scrapper was released with a minor tweak. Inversion Enzyme instead of Self Regulating Defenses. I use Elixir gun instead of bulwark for the extra condi clear and might stacking. I will swap in bulwark for Elixir S when fighting ranger’s or pistol thieves.

I use Bowl of Nopalitos Sauté for food.

My BBB build (my greatest thoerycrafted build) was mostly gyros. My previous vanilla build was mostly elixirs. When I had my scrapper build, Stats were somewhat similar (Used knights armor, marauder trinkets and zerk hammer). Healing I am between elixir and gyro (that hammer leap through the mobile water field is awesome…good damage and good heal).

As mentioned, im not set on the food so I am always looking for something different (I think I used to use omnom pies/ghost and tried mango pie (the regen was good))

Can you solve the lag issue and the DC before, and once for all, the launch of season 3 finale? This is kittening off a lot of people around the world.
We are having this problem almost every day in the last month. Bring us solutions… Please!

Thanks ANET for the last WvW servers relink (ironic mode on)
Thanks for ruining my friendships by turning friendly servers into enemies so kitten fast (Tarnished Coast vs Gate of Madness). Bye Bye Guild Friends!!!!
Thanks for ruining my server, Tarnished Coast, by linking him to one that does not do WvW (Sanctum of None).
And thanks ANET for not doing the same things you do in PvP on WvW.
Where’s the gold and the grandmastermarks from the chests?
One gold for chest is better than none gold and a bunch of nothing to salvage
You guys are doing a great job messing up this great game.

I can agree with the server lag issue, my ISP states its not something on my end.

ranger AA has several counters besides dodge calles reflects and absorbs, still same aplyes for rev hammer Auto but Rev hammer is a cleave skill while ranger bow AA is single.

Well yes and no. ranger can spec where his arrows can pierce up to 5 people, making it technically a ranged cleave weapon…just not a “cleave” that people refer to.

Justine.6351:

DeceiverX.8361:

Hammer rev in respects to CoR, much like most of rev, needs a re-design. Numbers changes won’t fix hammer because it’s terrible in the 1v1.

That said, Hammer Bolt does need a nerf of some kind to its damage. This shouldn’t happen against an ascended/maxed medium player with an AA from 1500 away. As you can see the rest of the damage I was taking was totally normal so it’s not like I was missing armor or anything to be deceptive on the screen. I’m a ridiculously durable thief as well with +8k health; That AA would have likely one-shotted an exotic-wearing thief in non-toughness/vit gear.

I guess ranger longbow must be op too because there is a build that can put out 10k AA.

I can honestly say I have never seen this, nor when I was playing my own power ranger build (pumping out as much damage while camping LB), My AA’kitten maybe ~5-6k tops when I crit. This is one of those “unless you show me the build in action, I can’t believe it”.

Eotm is fun and relaxing, i can spend the whole day there without noticing time going on.

By the way it will be good opportunity to get some achievs like bridge buster.

I see lots of vets say things like pvers are ruining the game mode. Or players who only want rewards are ruining wvw. Or players who want less grind for rewards are ruining wvw.

In my opinion it’s players who play it to “relax” that water down the content and the experience.

A lot of WvW’ers or even “vets” play the mode to relax. Whats relaxing is subjective. I relax by jumping in WvW and playing it as intended (Taking stuff, defending stuff, PPK…etc), so I don’t see me “relaxing” in WvW as watering the mode down or the experience.

Seeing your other posts involving WvW, i’m not surprised you said what you did. Your lack of examples here hurts the point you are trying to make (just fyi it may help).

WvW is what it has been over the last x amount of years. People have learned to accept it for what it was and got comfortable with it. Its called Human Nature that with the influx of new players complaining about things that are no longer relevant, it’s going to ruin WvW for those that have gotten comfortable and don’t want it to change as much as it has lately.

I still want that achievo for beating one of you dangnabit :p

Call it “fool me twice” if you will, but I take all emotes as a sign of aggression now.

I used to watch enemy lowbies try and do something, even helping them a few times by killing a scout that got em down and then I’d walked away or cheer for them. Now it seems most times those lowbies are bait.

Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy the mode, even if I am paranoid while playing half the time.

Lol I see you are on SF too (pretty sure I saw ya running around a few times while solo roaming myself)

I haven’t helped anyone with a sentry myself. Helped someone with a camp once (they were a lowbie) as they were dying (3rd servers camp obv). I took out a few NPC’s, they ressed off one of them and I backed off. I /bow (thats my fav emote lol) and bailed. They didnt attack me until I met them at another camp. They tried but I downed them (no stomp) so they could get the res. Got a whisper asking whi I was helpline him so I explained to them that I was just being nice.

He told me not to so I left him. Saw him again at another 3rd server camp and he didn’t do well. They whispered me asking why I didnt help.

Needless to say it was a /facepalm moment, and a L2C (Learn to Cap) moment.

it looks alright, ferocity seems a bit low but engi is pretty tanky so you might be able to win those longer fights.

I did look at the fero as I thought it was a bit as well, however my logic was the might stacking will help make up for it. I could also technically use the fero stacking sigil as well instead of Power if it doesnt work out, or I could use Plate of Roasted Cactus (+100 fero/33% chance might on crit).

Thanks for giving your input
