Guild Wars 2

WvW was so boring tonight. TC is almost as good as JQ at running into towers and hiding. I’m looking at you, TC BL defenders. We’d try and goad them into doing actual open-field, but they’d either bring a full queue zerg to wipe us or run for a tower and sit on ACs.

Also, ACs should be removed from the game.

I have 5 sets at the moment, debating buying another, but not sure about the stat distribution nor the runes just yet. Maybe a boon duration set? I don’t know. Half are PvE, the other half is for WvW.

Seetoo.9316:

Well, I’m looking at around 33 more days to make a set (armor and trinks). I’m waiting cuz of a rumor that the MF will be replaced with boon duration.

Guildie did some theory crafting on Celestial armor. It’s not worth it to use anything but Helm/chest/legs as Celestial, although I wouldn’t go further than Celestial accessories for any reason. Even then, only for WvW. Exceptionally unnecessary in PvE.

We don’t need a condition damage build. Conditions are useless in PvE and our lack of condition diversity hinders us in WvW/sPvP.

According to a thread on gw2guru, Guardians are apparently second-highest DPS right now, after a lightning hammer ele, with the highest max DPS. It would be nice for our greatsword to be more damage-y like the Warrior greadsword however, I think our GS has far more utility, and it would be a pity to lose all of that for the sake of some numbers.

Line/Ring of Warding are exceptionally powerful in WvW/sPvP content. The fact that champions and legendaries can walk through the lines unmolested in no way detracts from the power of those two skills. There’s a reason why every single guardian in a WvW raid runs Staff or Hammer, or sometimes both.

I agree with you on the cripple front. I also wish that we had better swiftness uptimes (without having to spam two utility slots on cooldown and rely on a buggy application via staff 3). Still think that the condi damage signet should have its passive switched to a 25% movespeed buff. The active would make sense and at least then it would be worth taking.

So I’ve beaten Deadeye Dunwell 3 times now with the following gambits active:

*Exhausted
*On Fire
*Frailty
*Squeamish
*Hamstrung

No credit to High Stakes Gambler (5 gambits) nor Risk Taker (1 gambit). The first time I killed him with those active, Triple Threat (3 gambits active) and Humble Victor (squeamish + frailty active) triggered.

Cool beans.

On a not-so-related note, is the gauntlet sticking around for the next meta event (starting on tuesday)? I work all weekend, so it’d be nice to know if I should rush the achieves, or if I can space it out.

Stop teasing him guys. Don’t make him cry like last time. He started reporting all posts that made him cry last week.

who are you?

im srs

He’s the guy who pointed out you made yourself look like an idiot last week a couple times. I didn’t know you were dealing with memory issues, I assume of a medical nature for them to be this severe. I wont be trolling you anymore. Sorry about anything that may have hurt your feelings.

No one will ever accuse the Lord High Chairman Dictator of not being sympathetic to the plight of the mentally challenged.

pwned. The benevolent Lord of DB has spoken.

Boonprot.6274:

People should stop acknowledging the obvious troll guild.

We can’t do that to you, Boonprot. Running is a skill too.

Ugh, Calvin I’ve missed you.

Was having so much fun skirmishing both TC and DB between EK and Gari on DB BL, idk why TC had to bring a 70-man to ruin the fun

I just want to re-iterate that I support people that want to play gear other than Zerker’s, I just accept the reality that it’s less overall efficient.

Depends on the group and the individual, dead/downed do no damage.

The trick to play with zerker gear is to not die. I mean, it is the main idea in this game (or any game, actually), in general.

Yes exactly my point, thanks.

Then what you’re saying is that it’s an L2P issue, and not so much a gear issue? Thought so.

Greens Daily Ritual.9025:

You wouldn’t see 300+ members at one time. No guild ever puts that many numbers out. A nice chunk of them is PVE, but the core of the guild is WvW. We prefer running smaller, less noticeable strike force teams and we’re never in the same place for long. Sorry for interrupting your chest thumping. Please proceed.

They banned you for a whole day?? Wow, now I see why you are upset. I would just leave the server. Those FIRE guys just a bunch of transfer trash anyways, who are they to tell you what to do.

The ban doesn’t bother me at all, it was in the method in which it was done and lack of a valid reason, but I get your obvious implied sarcasm. I’ve been on DB before these guys, I’ll be here after. But you are right, the garbage in DB needs to be taken out before this place starts to look and smell like a ghetto. No reference to FIRE in that statement, because there’s a lot of guys in that guild I like. The one that initiated all of it is a tagless no-name player that just happened to be in the channel with the Map Floaters. His feelings were hurt because TC kept wiping them in outer garrison on DB BL.

Honey, if you wanted attention, all you had to do was ask.

Niim.9260:

I gotta say I find TC’s love of PPT to be absolutely mind blowing. I was watching people guard yak’s to the mag keep in EB, five people. That is impressive in a match that is just a zergfest and PPT is about as important as JQ’s view of being a T2 server.

People on TC roleplay in WvW as tower/keep/camp/dolyak/etc… guards. That’s why there are ALWAYS people in towers/keeps/camps/etc… alerting the zerg if someone strolls by.

I’m not joking at all, either.

You’re behind the times.[insert snarky comment relating that to the whole of maguuma] Its 29 pages.

Edited for posterity.

I don’t know. If a heavily defensively-specced player brings nothing to my group, that means I’m carrying them with my group members. I don’t see why I should carry a player who is either too stubborn to spec properly, or too inept to dodge.

subclavian.5839:

lol sorry, that wasn’t directed at you personally, but zerker elitests in general.

The PvE zerker trend is due to a terrible miscalculation on Anet’s part, and I refuse to believe that’s how they intended for GW2 to be played. It promotes a passive and reactionary style of gameplay where dodging red circles and recognizing animation sequences are the most valuable skills a noob can master.

Recent living world events such as the aetherblade retreat and queen’s pavalion have been trying to remedy that, but as long as the traditional dungeons are still full zerkerfests, nothing will change.

So situational awareness and proper usage of GW2’s primary feature (dodging) should be derided? I think it’s the exact opposite. Traditional trinity gameplay encourages only two things: the tank to not die and the cleric to help him in that endeavour. Occasionally, mechanics are thrown into the mix, but it’s incredibly simplistic, isn’t it? Or, at least, more simplistic than GW2’s dodge mechanic, which forces players to think independently from the zerg.

That said, you’d be absolutely shocked at how many people are incapable of dodging. Tons. Most pugs, actually. This is why people think that PVT or defensive gear is necessary. They use tankier gear to supplement their poor gaming ability through the gear providing themselves a larger margin for error. If people know how to dodge and know mechanics, there is ABSOLUTELY no reason to run anything but Berserker gear. This is also why groups tend to kick players who run such specs. If the entire team is fine without a healbot, then what is the defensively-specced player bringing to the table? Essentially nothing, and they are subsequently carried by the rest of the team. I think that deserves a kick from group, don’t you?

Valynaard.8475:

Thanks for your thoughts – your links don’t seem to work though. It will take some time (if ever) when I try this out, but I had this impression too that it’s quite OK all around builds I can put together for my guardian with this.

You shouldn’t be running full celestial builds. The most I’d recommend is full celestial accessories, and then use your armor to flesh out your stats to better suit your build. Exotic armor is cheap; there’s really no reason to use only one armor set for every facet of the game.

Naytron.7831:

Hey guys! If you’re a member/leader of The Shadow Legion [TSL], Seraphim Martyrs [BURN], Rethesis [RE], Myrmidon Elite [ME], or Zero Negative [ZN], I’ve sent a challenge to you guys for a GvG in gw2gvg.com! Please contact Nateralus/Slaughtis Ironwar or W Rod if you want to reschedule the time.

For anyone else that wants to challenge Night Shift [NS] into a GvG, please do so in http://www.gw2gvg.com/ and we’ll be looking forward to it! Let’s have some fun! (:

ugh, what a beautiful post. Trying to get GvGs out of JQ was like pulling teeth. I think PYRO got the only GvG that was offered that entire matchup. “T1 tactics,” y’all.

kerona.3465:

What people really need to understand about Maguuma is that we have fun with each other. On forums, in game, in wvw, etc. Win or lose. And that is what games are about. Not really “recruit most people so we can win with bads lolol”. We do get transfers, and almost all of them have stayed and enjoyed the server for what it is. We have no aspirations to climb to Tier 2 or anything, just want to have fun guyyyyyyyys.

Also, we drink tears. Our doctors recommend it to help with problems “down there”.

No tears, only dreams.

Paz Shadow.9715:

BTW saiyr I know you take great pride in being a class act forum troll but in reality you are hurting your server more than helping it. Sure, scoreboard is good, and sure the wins are nice… but your reputation is what really matters at the end of the day and quite frankly Mag has a horrible one. The sad thing is I don’t think you and all the other forum warriors from Mag will ever be able to admit it, since if you all turned around and changed your attitude your server could really benefit from it.

I don’t think we really care about our reputation. Mag is here to find good fights and enjoy WvW. Know what isn’t good fights? Hiding in towers behind ACs because you can’t open-field for kitten. Last matchup all we did was group up and skirmish with [Agg]. Do you know why? They’re better than we are at open-field and it’s nice actually having a challenge for once. Even though we wiped many times to them, it was still fun.

We also have an exceptionally tight-knit WvW community. There are very few WvW guilds on Mag, and very few of them field more than 15-20 people a piece. As a result, we’re constantly working together on maps to counter enemy zergblobs and hold objectives. When I say that you know almost every single person in the other WvW guilds, I’m not exaggerating. Except apparently people get all booty-troubled over our trololol on the forums and translate that into “mag = trash.” Call me naive, but I don’t think that Mag is the immature server here.

Sure, it would be nice to have ONE Oceanic/SEA guild to hold our BL/EB quadrant over night. Not even cap kitten, just hold. However, that doesn’t seem realistic because everyone has such a kitten for T1 stacking. Plus, any guild that transferred here to fill those timeslots would be the ONLY guild we have. That’s a lot of pressure to put on one guild and would turn it into a job. We’ve had a few guilds look into xferring here, and every time they decide against it for that reason.

EU isn’t like this at all (barring Vizunah); seems to be purely an NA drive to blob war and lag out entire servers whilst spamming 1. Ooh, so much fun.

Idk why I just made a serious post. Oop.

PredatoR.5247:

Jade Quarry is one of the few servers who as a majority, hates Guild vs Guild. While we were on the server we were talked about in a bad manner for doing a Guild vs Guild while Jade Quarry was losing. (Jade Quarry is always losing in t1).
The overall public population on the server strives for an invisible trophy at the end of every week and pride themselves on meaningless T1 victories they previously had. It is your typical T1 server mentality and with that I leave you to know that you will probably get some GvG off Jade Quarry on Thursday.

Though do not be surprised bad guilds on Jade Quarry attempting to crash GvG do show up, just simply have one of your guilds protecting it with 15 people and I am sure that should be enough to protect it. These pug zergs crashing GvG always get wiped and humiliated.

Miss Agg already </3

I don’t think you realize how awful YB is as a server.

It’s quite entertaining to see Maggs complain about the same tactics they have been using for the last 2 weeks against Yaks, Zerging and setting up siege in open field. Can’t stand to be treated in the same fashion like you treat weaker servers it seems. Have a nice week!

k, I’d like to see screenshots of PYRO, ME, D$RP, or VR employing open-field siege. Note: our karma train doesn’t count because it’s filled with random uncoordinated pubbies.

i like how JQ has people crying about the size of BG and SOR zergs when all 3 servers probably have queued up maps.

Both of them have more numbers and coverage than we do. They would tell you that lol.

do u understand how queue work

also, as a player on jq you should understand EXACTLY how full vs heavy population works. if you don’t, then i’m actually speechless.

also to the try hard feelings wench above:
Mags don’t have feelings. Only dreams.

NeGGY.4127:

Is Mag really complaining about numbers and coverage? It’s not your fault that Anet matched you up with us. The best thing your server can do is play and experience with the matched up servers. Mag keeps complaining about coverage and players running away from them? Let me guess. That’s when a guild of Mag occupies a borderland when JQ and FA has their guild zergs on other maps? & then on top of that you guys trash talk.

FA and TC respect match ups. Just have fun and enjoy the match ups and learn new tactics when you guys are going against a >>guild zerg.<< and if either side loose multiple fights that’s room for improvement.

Much respect

No, there are numerous videos in this thread of JQ zergs actively avoiding open-field fights against PYRO, kitten , and VR to run into a tower behind AC covering fire. You can’t argue that JQ doesn’t run and hide at every given opportunity when there is abundant VIDEO proof of it.

Fenrir.3609:

There isn’t any build which is really hard to kill that doesn’t involve timing skills and dodging.

But the typical builds are the 0/0/10/30/30 midpoint control bunker (soldier runes, energy sigils, clerics/clerics) or the 0/5/30/30/5 AH build (same gear).

Personally if you are going to pug it up/soloQ and you insist on bunkering down, then i’d use the control bunker meta. The AH build is too reliant on your team mates hanging around with you.

In terms of condi clearing well with 0/0/10/30/30 you remove two conditions with each shout (of which you will have 2-3 on your utility bar) via soldiers with Pure of Voice, a 10 sec purge via Purity and a tripple clear from Absolute Resolution.

Don’t forget the stab from Courage and the virtue refresh via Renewed Focus. You really shouldn’t be having problems with condi builds unless there are multiple people running those builds on you at the same time.

Edit: forgot to mention that you can bring GS and use 2 and 5 to whirl inside a light field. Even more condi cleanse.

Also is “Baiting” what you call “Hiding” now a days? You sure have come along way.

Ever finish editing your super ownage video? I think it’s been about a month and a half now.

I bet he’s a D/P thief. They always seem to think they’re actually good.

WRONG

I run either S/D-D/D or P/D-SB. Come out and play sometime.

Edit: Im pretty sure I’ve already beat you.

Let me know when you figure out how to make videos and I’ll tell you know if I’m in it. I doubt it though as I haven’t died to a thief in a couple months. I’ve killed plenty, and seen plenty more disappear in a trail of red circles that goes off towards keep/tower doors.

I’m a guard, pretty sure I’d have to /uninstall if I lost to a thief :S

I can’t even get the stupid “kill 10 rats” Daily Achievement in WvW this week B/c there’s only one …. giant … I dunno what it is … it’s like a … mystical Floating Castle of constant heals and damage absorption? or Or a Mega Turtle made up of a 300 other Turtles that when combined moves amazingly fast, revives instantly, and is immune to everything you can throw at it?

…yet it can only be in 1 BL at a time and never stays longer than a few minutes, making it almost impossible for all of us in YB & CD to find it together and try to pull it apart from 2 sides at once.

Heated trolling between wagonuuma and swagonbrand, and that third server that the match thingy swears is participating.

considering the posts directly above yours I corrected it for accuracy.

edit: I do like how the 1 post from a YB player per page is usually taking a shot at mags…

It’s because all YB ever does is play for second place and tunnel-vision on Stonemist. Although, RAM was the go-to SM guild on YB, so maybe that’s changed. Too much Dragonbrand in this matchup to properly tell.

We don’t play for second place. We do, however, know what the matches will be like before they happen. We predicted Wagonbrand to dominate them doors while everyone is sleeping, and it was true. Nothing against them, its just their playerbase.

Week was decided when after the weekend wagonbrand had 4x the points of mag and yb. Now we are just goofing around waiting for that anticipated reset.

No, YB definitely plays for second place constantly. You act like Mag and YB haven’t been in the same matchup for many, many weeks previously.

All of Maguuma’s zergs use some form of VOIP, even our karma train.

I stand corrected. Very impressive. You guys have a future in community organizing. I don’t think we have more than 15% VOIP participation during EU primetime and early NA.

That doesn’t mean that EVERYONE in EVERY zerg is in one of the Mumble/TS3/Raidcall servers, but it is used as the primary coordination service fo sho.

If you’re not running a staff in a ZvZ encounter, I don’t quite know why you’re there. D/D is a wholly selfish and small group/roaming spec, and S/D is meant for single-target burst. Neither really brings a whole lot to the table if we’re talking about ele builds in a zerg context. However, your frontline can benefit from one or two D/D eles for their utility and aurashare. Your zerg can also benefit from an S/F ele because of the extreme utility and strong burst that the spec brings. However, the majority of your eles should still be staff. Preferably a mix between support (0/10/0/30/30 or some variant thereof) and glass (points in fire, essentially).

Why you would forego the ridiculous utility, support, and AoE pressure provided by staff for some sub-par soloing build is beyond me.

On the topic of roaming, it’s usually D/D or bust. If you have multiple eles, turning a few into S/Ds can be very powerful, too. I just wouldn’t recommend Staff because roaming is far too mobile to properly utilize Staff’s skills.

Eviator.9746:

JaNordy, that was difficult to read, man, both from a block of text perspective, and from a man his spelling sucks perspective.

Personally I think mags is better open field than DB is. Our server has yet to learn the concept of wave wiping (that’s what I call it). And our PUGs have no good idea what stacking is or what it’s good for. Once DB gets into an open field fight with near even numbers, we all spread out and get picked off. I wish my fellow DB commanders had some ideas for how to get better in these kinds of fights other than the go-to someone else’s problem response “Get in TS!”. No offense to commanders, I’m sure it’s difficult. But other servers manage to do it, and I’m sure not all of them are in TS.

All of Maguuma’s zergs use some form of VOIP, even our karma train.

Cool, well done. ACs are awesome, aren’t they.

Some parting photos of the siege cuz I gotta sleep for da werk. First pic is of DB siegecreeping us at inner, and then wiping hard ~3s later. Second pic is of when we probed the DB siege to see what we were up against. I survived, don’t worry.

This is what T2 tactics looks like, ladies and gentlemen!

Come to WK DB BL for a fireworks display that’s guaranteed to impress!

Here are some estimates for the next matchups. 2.38% chance for a rematch.

Almost a 2% chance of being matched up against JQ? That could get interesting.

Quite a bit more than 2%, actually, that’s just the most likely way we’ll end up matching up with them if it happens. I don’t have it add up which individual servers are most likely to be faced (maybe I should). Full list here.

I’ll probably stop posting the “top matchups” they just tend to be misleading – a 4% top matchup means there’s a 96% chance any OTHER matchup will happen. There’s just too many possibilities to say who anyone’s going to face with any certainty, T1/8 excepted.

I’d say keep posting them. The fact that there’s a 96% chance of NOT getting that matchup doesn’t mean that it isn’t the most likely matchup to occur. If nothing else, the top matchups are an interesting way to see how ANet’s matchup system is working and how our previous matchups affect the future.
