this is a build i run with, it has great mobility, great burst (not the best fyi). the autoattack does around 1-2k so its not super amazing but the jumpshot if u land both it can do around 4-6kdmg. blundershot does around 3k. surprise shot can hit for around 3-4k depending on who it hits, on a low cooldown too. prybar hits like a truck tho, and to escape you just drop box of nails, rocketboot out of there.

i personally run medkit to get fury and swiftness instead, but i switch to healing turret from time to time when i’m running a group with not alot of condition removals. But with this build you have a really strong counter to stunlock builds, because it procs around 73%dmg reduction if all traits activate, (please take note some traits arent redone in this site yet) stablized armor gives 20% reduced dmg when disabled, the food buff gives another 20%, and you also pick up protection as well when disabled which is another 33% dmg reduction.

The only real bad thing about this build is lack of condition removals but besides that i find it pretty strong because of its mobility (probably only after warriors and thieves and rangers). keeping a high health pool is easier because you have less to work with which gives ur 6th rune that 10% dmg. another 10% if u have full endurance as well.

Edit: I forgot to mention u will have 0 stunbreakers, but who needs em when u get 73% dmg reduction and 2.7k armor. just dont get caught at low health is all u need to do.

have you guys already tested out what a MM build might bring to this? since mostly everything is single target, running 3 minions each, thats like 15minons, plus 5 players, around 20 doing dmg, would MM build do more dmg than straightup regular?

well idk if its necessarily tearing communities apart, but i like the downed state in pve and dislike it for pvp. it will ALWAYS give the upperhand to the larger force in pvp, yes there are instances where people can use it to t heir advantage and just aoe downed guy too, but this usually never works well for the smaller force if theyre both groups are competent players.

never knew tht, but granted i never use elixir x

yea, its quite missed. idk if it makes ur hitbox bigger but idc cuz its fun to mess with

this is a great pve/wvw build that works extremely well for me. I dont use it for zerg v zerg though, i use it for small scale fights. Because with grenades you have to keep an eye out for retal or else itll really kick you back if u spam.

for traits you could swap out explosive powder trait for enhancing performance for the 3 stacks of might instead if u wanted to.

with boon duration you dont need 10 in toolkit trait line for perma swiftness. You can constantly swap ur healing elixir for medkit and use the stimulant for spd buffs and when ur about to go into combat just swap back, its around 17s per stimulant and elixir, so 34s total for both, stimulant has a CD of 20s. theres ur perma swiftness right there, also you can also use ur toss elixir b which has a 25% chance for another 17s swiftness.

Those patch notes people keep referring to are not confirmed to be real. Pretty sure they’re bullkitten.

Looking over them, honestly, some of the things do seem plausible – and then the plausibility is immediately shattered by “Yeah, sure they’ll move Coated Bullets down a notch. And Juggernaut, too.”

Moving on. I’m not, personally, all that concerned about the Burning or Torment being given to Necromancers – they’ll have to trait for Burning, after all. Torment might be more worthy of concern, in my opinion; Torment + Fear (with Terror traited) = “Man, I wish I had stability.”

We’ll have to wait and see what kind of effects the trait and Torment have, though. Only three days.

theres the one on reddit which is unconfirmed, and theres this https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/upcoming-skill-and-trait-changes/

it states necro access to burning, tainted shackles and trait reworkings for necros.

The one on Reddit is the one I’m pretty sure is bullkitten – reducing Coated Bullets to Master is absurd, among all other things. The other is an official announcement, but may or may not be telling everything there is to tell about who’s getting what. It certainly doesn’t give any information about most of the changes that’re coming.

What we do know, as it’s quoted from the devs and/or stated in the announcement:
Every single traitline in the game is getting between one and five changes.
Necro Death Shroud will get Tainted Shackles and Torment (which will synergize nicely with their Fear effects, at the very least, especially if they’re traited to damage with Fear).
Necros have specifically been mentioned to be receiving a Burning trait.
Mesmers and Thieves will also get Torment.

it is almost 100% fake, the one from reddit that is, everything is pretty much buffs. But i heard that those were beta test notes or something, which dont sound unrealistic.

idk why DT still has no LoS. People complained about izerker for the longest time when they were used for this very same reason, to destroy inside siege, They should just remove the ability for all classes to be able to hit objects/players without los.

Its currently working as inteded as anet said it was, but it gives an unfair edge to this class that other classes can’t do. Not saying its so unfair its game breaking, but if theyre gonna take it away from other classes, they might as well do it for all classes.

I have both at 80, but my main is a engineer, I dont think he’ll replace my engineer when patch comes out, but i will definitely respec my necro and play him again, he’s been sitting off in a shelf for a long long time, becuz he was so inferior to my engineer.

The burning traits sounds really nice, as well as the reworks on alot of the necro traits so it’s still hard to say itll be better. They also got a slight nerf as well with the 5max condition corrupt boon, but thts not that much of a nerf.

Engineers will still have more access to confusion, more access to retal, and boons than necros, although necros can stack might in a couple seconds, they dont have the duration for a long fight like an engineer. Engineers still by far has more survivablity skills than necro too, so I doubt theyll be replaced, necros will be played more during the patch just to test its limits and what they can do, me included.

great fights out in SF bl tonight. I cant believe we fielded like 9 players out tonight, we usually dont have that many.

Nikkinella.8254:

This wouldn’t have even been an issue in the first place had they charged for server transfers right from the start like they said they were going to do after the beta ended. This is entirely Anet’s fault. They should have known that all the scrubs would server hop to the ones who were dominating, especially when it was free to do so. We wouldn’t have such stacked servers and unbalanced odds if they would have had to actually pay for it in the beginning. Yes some people still server hop now, but not in as great a number as they did when it was free. If 2 servers are facing one super server that’s able to dominate them both, we should have the option of a temporary ceasefire with the other server where we cant kill eachother and would have to team up against the mega zerg.

what about when anet added the additional servers a couple weeks later? those servers wouldve been dead servers for wvw if not for free xfers. KN for example literally fielding more than 1 player was amazing to see during its beginning, Those who started on KN know what tht was, KN was basically worse than what ET is now, they didn’t start getting more xfers til some recruitment threads by players like Fubuki.

i mean i would at least like a someone from anet to respond saying yes its broken and were working on it or, its working but not properly showing. (idc if they really r, i just want confirmation its broken, or just not properly showing)

Kaos.9162:

Kudos to BS for chasing me 3/4 of the way around the map going clockwise, then finally 4v1’ing me and jumping on my corpse.

I did not throw that arrow cart on you.

Odaman.8359:

AoE cap removal would solve alot of zerg issues… that said their servers can’t handle it supposedly.

Retaliation ftw in that situation, small group self-destructs. Turtling would come back and ppl would just mass stack with retal and guardians.

Nerf retaliation? then retal becomes way underpowered in small scale fights.

is the 6th effect of rage still bugged and not properly giving the 5% crit dmg bonus under fury?

why does EU have 3 more servers than US when it seems like their population is so much less, least in wvw, the matchup in their t9 is ridiculus, the bottom 2 servers dont even have more than 30ppt together combined. but granted its not their primetime too so that’s maybe why.

happens more often in higher tiers, so i left higher tier to lowest tier. never happens to me now, cept once during a fight that had like 40+players total in it

i like turtles.

well if i did tht you would call hacks, because when i use tool kit, youll say im OP.

sorry, i took off my armor to get on par with u guys so thats prolly y u mistaken me for ambient, my fault.

well i wouldve gave you some, but you ganked me. So no popcorn for you!

wow the ego on these guys never cease to amaze, i shouldve brought popcorn and started to read these months ago, and here i thot there was nothing interesting to read.

would love something like this, i bought 1800 gems to transfer to t8 and then 1 week later, they changed population sizes to move players around, and that t8 server became med pop, 500gems btw, so i wouldve saved 1300gems, around 30ish gold or so.

we had 6-7 players there, 2 off in a duel, u attacked the 2 on the ground by u, then me and another on the steps jumped in after you downed one while chasing other, then came back to down us all.

We come to fight club and no1 will 5v5 us……

hard to do 5v5 when ur doing 10v5

We don’t even have 8 members, must less 10. Nice try though.

couldve been clones/phantasms i saw, but like geoski said, lame move, yall went and grabbed ur 25stacks, had all ur players, while we was still trying to get ours together instead of just doing randoms, we had half players off in duels, no stacks, and ya just rushed us.

Jscull.2514:

hard to do 5v5 when ur doing 10v5

well first time coming to fight night since ive been in t8, and i guess its just paxa rolling in with their guild, around 8-10, and just rolling solo players, so disappointed in PAXA, i heard good things about them, guess they dont have honor nor skills, wont be wasting my time coming back to fight night anymore.

I might be months late and slow, but did they take out the elite skill for entangled? or is it in one of the summons that casts it out?

or did they never have the elite skill to immobilize more than one enemy?

Depends what you play for, but sounds like you play for fun and is not a try hard, so small man roams seem more likely to fit you, but thing is finding a good small man. Also if ur in t1-t2, dont even bother with small man, their 60man zergs will roll u over before u can even cast a skill becuz of skill lags/or being focused/cc to death becuz its 5v60.

DeadlySynz.3471:

If this happened, I wouldn’t be surprised if both ET and FC just packed it in for the week. The ratings system doesn’t really matter in this scenario because honestly, what enjoyment would any of those servers have.

There is outmanned, then there is OUTMANNED. I don’t know what Blackgate is like, but literally they could probably produce enough people to secure all 4 maps within 2hrs of reset then spawn camp the rest of the week.

In the above scenario, what good is the rating at this point? Is anyone from FC or ET going to be pleased about their rating if they possibly can’t make it 10ft out of their spawn point?

I’ll LOL at those idiots who came from t1 and is forced to spawn camp to get some of this o so rare thing called a kill in t8.

But in all seriousness, ill still play, so long as my guild plays, we’ve played outmaned before, running 5man v15 before, but t1 server will be more like 60, but itll drop since theyll get bored and go pve.

dunnberry.2964:

I love how almost everyone thinks engis are useless just because we are rare…in 1 build I have now that I just switched to I can roam and be fairly tacky and also give helluva lotta damage/conditions in a Zerg/defending a tower…necro is my 2nd favorite

Shhh, quit telling people were awesome, its why we get nerfed so much.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/engineer/Celebrating-my-30-000th-kill-solo-wvw-video

Here’s one of the engineer pro players, i based my build on his. the link below is my build, i forget where he posted his build, but u can go look for it thru his acct user.

http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/engineer/?2.1|a.1b.h1b.a.1h.h5|0.0.0.0.0.0|1h.b1h.1h.b1h.1h.71h.1h.71h.1o.71g.1h.b1g|21n.d13.3u.d18.21n.d18.2u.0.21n.d1b.3w.0|a5.a4.k61.u2ab.0|30.d|2b.2g.2j.2x.30|e

simple solution tht will prolly never be implemented, show all listing fees.

Ex: selling for 1s, list fee=5c, sales tax=10c, projected prof=85c.

ffs, i was at 96 tickets.

troll em with supply traps. thatll teach them a lesson. Did you see that one video by a VOTF guild i believe where he trolled a zerg for around 15+mins, til they just gave up.

Idk, people have different terms of fun. I personally enjoy running in ET outmanned with my guild who runs small man. We can usually do decent in 5v10. Prolly because i dont care much for ppts/server wins, I’m just there to pvp, and flip things here and there.

Charles.4918:

so if i mail X amount of gold or t6 mat to my alt account(same IP), will i get ban by A-net? (all gold are farm from cof, no bot and hack)

Nope!
A high value transaction marks your account as suspicious. This means nothing more then that a GM will investigate the transaction and the origin of the gold. If you are innocent you will not get banned.

However. The GM’s are humans and can make mistakes. so it is possible that they check a marked account and suspend in error (a so called false positive). In those situations you can ask and appeal, and if support agrees that you are innocent you get reinstated.

Given the amount of suspensions being given and the amount of appeals visable here on the forum, the amount of false positives is rather low. Also keep in mind that a good portion of the people claiming this are actually guilty and just try it for the sake of trying.

There has been some discussion with the support liason bout the amount of false positives that are tolerable. She acknowledged that the goal should be to have no false positives at all (even though that is practically impossible). She also promised to start an internal discussion bout the procedures in those situations.

I have the feeling that the amount of false positives has been dropping since then. There has been lesser reports of people here claiming they where falsely suspended and reinstated later.

Yea, this is wat i always thought to be the case.

@Astral, the first couple of months TP was down/bugged, so i doubt AN cared if ppl was mass mailing mats and stuff.

Scarn.1703:

What does this mean? Are there free transfers available right now?

no, its just cheaper, VH=1800gems, high=1000gems, med=500gems.

ok, thanks for the info.

Just a curious question but just yesterday a buddy sent 100g to a guy to turn him commander, i always had the assumption u would get auotbanned for sending over x amt of gold or receiving x amt of gold. havent seen him online today so i was just curious.

wow, gotta be kittening kidding me, i just xferred to t8 like 3weeks ago.
1800gems…..

Zikory.6871:

MartyPartys.9187:

For some reason people do that yes, it doens’t actually work tho. The server status is based on how many people are registered on the server, not how many people there are online at the same time. A dev said this once, which is somewhere here on the forums.

That can’t be right either. Its free to play game so what happens to all the accounts when people stop playing? Say 500 people on JQ stop playing, there accounts stay on JQ so the server never drops from full… So once a server hits full status it can only die from there? I know for a fact that the server population on JQ and BG drop from full to very high almost everyday, not for very long but it happens. If the registered amount is what make a server full then they can never drop from full unless people transfer out…

Im pretty sure marty’s right, i just recently xfered to a bottom tier server, i checked the population status at 4am, and it’s still very high, so i still had to pay the 1800gems. I can’t remember the status of any of the full servers though.

Anet.0000:

And that’s the way the coookie crumbles.

yea but the complaints wasnt on the same lelve of complaints mesmers had too, i mean dont care either way tbh, i thot the izerker no los was fine before, dd eles r just annoying becuz of cleanse and ability to get distance, thieves becuz of invis, not hard to kill, just annoying to kill.

im just curious why the community is complaining about it like the mesmer, maybe it was just a mesmer hate thing, but its fine with the ele, idk.

remember when ppl qq about how izerker didn’t have los and could destroy siege? good thing theres no other class that can do this anymore.

if not t2 will be a decent match i hope for u guys.

only since january? I was in kaineg during those earlier days before they moved up tiers due to influx of players, yea, it was amazing to even get 15players in one map zone back then, and back then the funny thing was that FC was the zerg server then. But it’s nice to see a fellow t8 server still going strong. I’m on ET now, its great here.
