GW2 stil has the best PvP of any MMO out there, unless you just really enjoy winning fights because you grinded longer than your opponent for gear or got really lucky with RNG drops, lol!

Nah, WoW has the best PvP for that. GW2 is just a viable alternative.

GW2 PVP is actually skill based …WoW PVP is grind/which class is more OP based…not comparable at all

WoW PvP is skill based, it’s just not twitch combat like GW2.

I haven’t played wow in the past 3 years, but I heard it was incredibly dumb’ed down to cater to the casuals. As someone that played arena exclusively otherwise I can assure you that Balance and WoW did not belong in the same sentence.

Saying that because GW2 has faster paced combat make it less skillful makes no sense to me, if anything its the otherway around….I guess play WoW if you prefer slower paced combat, but make sure you have a loldruid on your team #balanced

maybe the larger scale rated BG’s are more balanced…but GW2 doesnt have 10v10 so there’s nothing to compare that to.

and tbh I dont understand why people are complaining about balance 5 hours after a huge patch that shifts the entire meta…If anyone is getting 2 shot it’s cuz they are still running zerkers for reasons that are beyond me. Everyone is running around in gimmick builds that will never be seen again till they figure out the new meta…patience is key here…check back in 2 weeks once the dust settles, you will have an easier time

Next you’ll tell me that Ele’s aren’t throwing 4k+ ticking burns on people.

Yup, burns are the New OP this patch. But even a decent player wont let it tick for 4k ( not even possible in pvp afaik), that’s more of a pve situation. But completely unrelated to claiming that an engi can do 10k dmge with #2……but ok =D

Nice Balance !!

Yeah.. the damage going out from every single class is insane.. There’s no skilled play going on at all whatsoever, people are just mashing buttons and people are melting.

An engineer literally threw Shrapnel grenade on me on it’s own, and with all the procs that went with it, it was enough to get my health down to around 35%.. how the kitten is this balanced?

Classic example of exaggerating reality to try and drive home a point. There is no engineer build that can take you to 35% with a shrapnel nade…not even close to 35% actually…even if u were running some terrible zerker build with 0 defense…it STILL wouldn’t get you to 35%…

But in regards to the OP yes it will take some time for the meta to settle. This is quite expected and most of these builds that people are running around with will never be seen again once the meta resettles

So a non meta team did a better job in AC...

Non meta is more fun, and just as great as meta.
Zerkers are a liability and boring.

There’s a big difference between a zerker group that knows what it is doing and a random pug of 80’s wearing zerker gear they got from pvping…but yea zerker zerging is boring, sadly nothing is faster =S

Maybe now this will be the condi meta…its gonna be one or the other

My mate asked me what build i use?

i dunno how am i suppose to tell him?
Deadly arts – mid/mid/down?? this new trait system is like wtf?

logically I think assigning I/II/III makes sense…so DA: II/II/III would be mid mid down in your example….others are using this nomenclature as well

While that is probably technically correct, it is also not something I am interested in doing.

thief is borderline broken/godlike in pvp now postpatch… and it was already strong before it’s just stronger now. We do even more burst damage than before and now we have sustain to back it up…i’d put thieves on top of engies even in terms of OP

Anyone found their build yet?

All my old builds work and are hilariously more powerful for reasons that both surprise me and sadden me but hey, let’s enjoy it while it lasts shall we!

It will last until they Buff them even more…this is engineer we are talking about =S

Engi was better before patch.

My old build is gone. I was using turrets and flamethrower. Now I’m basically forced to use grenades or bombs and elixirs. They left only one uselles turret trait and nerfed flamethrower. Why? It wasn’t overpowered or anything.

P.S. I hate grenades -.-

turrets/FT sounds pretty subpar in both pve and pvp…the ease of use certainly makes them convenient though, FT was a blast while leveling =D

edit- i also loathe grenades but I think without grenades one is better off playing another professions …they are just 2 gud to pass up

I don’t know where to begin.
I don’t want to explain…..

But,

What are some other MMO’s with interesting PvP?
Anyone have any suggestions?

honestly no idea what you are talking about…ppl get mad because the meta build they have been running for months gets changed to a new meta build…patch has been live for a few hours and your already complaining before anything has even had time to settle….don’t forget to close the door on your way out.

Thanks for the quick reply! Anyone else have experience with the two?

My engi is not 80 yet but from what I have found online the PVE rotation is INSAnnnee…and even when pulled off perfectly does less dmge than other professions?…with all the changes in this patch are they looking better in PVE do you think?

Hi guys,

So I’m at a point where I only really have time to play one profession in my free time and I’m trying to decide between Thief and Engineer.

I’ve played Thief since I started the game (about a month ago) and I really do like the class. I love the mobility and the ability to get out of a fight if it goes south coupled with the huge burst.

With Engi I only recently started playing it and its taking some getting used to esp with grenade kit. It does feel really strong though and its nice to be able to take quite a few hits compared to the thief.

Since I’m looking to play just one profession I would like to have something that does well in other aspects of the game and some people have told me not to go engi for PVE/WvW.

I’ve gone over the patch notes but honestly was overwhelmed since I don’t know the classes well enough yet to really understand what is being affected.

Feel free to give any input/advice if you lean one way or the other!!

Thx!

From what I’ve seen til now they are a lot better than the normal ones, look at the guardian, not only they’ll be able to use another weapon, they will also be able to use the normal ones

Every Elite spec is adding a new weapon to each profession….or am I missing something =S
