Guild Wars 2

Yer I wouldn’t worry too much though he was the first one I have seen.

I was just curious because thief jumped me in the jumping puzzle today who had the same clothes and was using a similar build. I hoped it was you but I guess it wasn’t

Are you on Crystal Desert now?

You should make it so if you d/c or crash the game your character still lingers for about 30 seconds before leaving.

I have only met one person from Yaks Bend who has actually given me a challenging fight, he was the elementalist in Yaks Bends borderlands near the supply camp. It was a quite a long fight and I still killed him but it was defiantly the longest and most challenging fight to deal with so far. So if you are reading this then well done to you

The only reason I am still coming to WvW is to kill as many of you as possible.
I have no respect for Yaks Bend.

As a Yak Bender, I salute GoM and SR. I know it sucks to be down the numbers. We were in that position last week. Personally I will NEVER spawn camp and I would suggest fellow Yakkers to not spawn camp. Spawn camping is simply not cool. Let’s be a Fonzie and “Be cool”.

I don’t mind spawn camping as long as you don’t use siege weapons.

There is lots of bots at Yaks Bend borderlands in the north of the lake, I was killing them however a group of people from Yaks Bend thought it would be fun to defend the bots. I guess they enjoy the bots..

A bunker is a defensive military fortification designed to protect the inhabitants from falling bombs or other attacks.

I am going to tell you a story.

The other day I was playing WvW with a friend of mine (lvl 80s) when we ran across perhaps 8-10 enemies. We managed to take down about 5-6 of them however we were unable to finish them off because the other enemies kept reviving them. Eventually we were both killed.

The point of this story is that if there was no downed state I believe 100% we would of been able to finish this group off due to our superior skill level. This is just one of the examples that show how the downed state promotes the theme “numbers win battles not skill” which is 100% true at the moment in GW2 pvp due the downed state.

Remove it already.

We are Sorrows Furnace

WE ARE #1

I 100% agree with Dee Jay
Its impossible at the moment to beat larger groups with smaller numbers because they are constantly getting revived. The downed state just rewards who has the most numbers and takes away the skill factor potential this game could have. It is an absolutely disgusting mechanic and i hope it gets removed sooner rather then later. I think the only people that like the downed state are either thieves or mesmers because it gives them an advantage.

Objectives are overated, Id rather just kill people any day. Who seriously enjoys sitting on a point all day?

I actually find it fun when I am outnumbered.

Why?
Its easy to get a fight.
You can test your skills against multiple opponents.

@sprawl i actually play an elementalist but nice try.
@cogbyrn I want it so I can have prove at how well I dominate people. Its basically gives me facts about how much of a beast I am. I already know I am pretty much godlike but having numbers to back this up will be awesome.

Mesmer clones can bypass walls, until they fix this issue I say fair play.

I actually love the idea of a kill/death ratio happy to see its being added.

Spawn Camping points with siege weapons is NOT COOL. If you want to spawn camp just do it with people please.

@blazer as soon as I read that I thought this guy must be a thief or a mesmer, then I read your sig.

@eurosdown obviously if they implemented this they could balance all the auto attacks easy enough. So you wouldn’t need to worry about some people having things that you don’t.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/How-to-balance-fix-the-downed-state for my thoughts on the whole downed state debacle

Please stay on topic, this isn’t about who has the strongest or weakest. It’s about the whole downed state being a flawed mechanic, you can go on about correct timing to stomp someone and terrain issues but you are clearly missing the point.

Second Place is the first loser. May the best first loser win! =P

Unless you are the top server you are all losers then.

I think its pretty obvious that hardly anyone enjoys the current downed state mechanic in both spvp and wvw, however i have come up with a solution that should keep both sides happy.

Basically you keep your attacking ability (#1) and then you get your healing skill (#4) so basically you only get two abilities while you are in the downed state. This will stop all the stealth and constant interrupts that people find so annoying to deal with when trying to downed people, as we know these abilities just make what seems a simple task much more annoying then it should be.

This also keeps the people who say it provides a tactical advantage happy because you can still revive downed people if you are good enough. I think this will improve the game greatly and allow for more skilled players to shine and flourish amongst the gw2 community.

EDIT: I honestly don’t care if Anet remove it however the reason I suggested the above ideas, is because it was a compromise.

The downed state has no place in spvp or wvw imo. Especially since classes (eg theives) are able to finish people off much easier then other people. They just pop stealth and bam they are done. It makes things so unfair its just ridiculous remove the downed state from everything besides pve.

This will balance the class out and make it perform alot better.

tl;dr Give elementalists weapon swap.

The downed state in spvp is becoming ridiculous as to how OP some classes are, compared to others. Why would anyone in the right mind think the downed state is balanced when you have classes like thieves and mesmers who take on average around 3 stomps to take down against most that only take 2, excluding the elementalist which 80% of the time only takes 1. You NEED to make every downed ability the same, remove it, or change it so everyone has the same amount of stomp stoppers. (incl. stealthing) because at the moment it is just ridiculous.

I am talking about people who have played the profession from day 1? Are you still playing/enjoying the elementalist?

can someone who sees the link tell me what it is?

Example.
20 fire – major = IV, V
10 water – major = V

Also can you tell me the necklace and jewel and runes and sigils thanks.

Mesmers and Thiefs need to change

You do realise that Ruin does nothing for ET except give them a bad name, the only reason they are doing well in WvW is because of the “Team Legacy” Alliance.

All I ask for is proof. Without all the guilds and members on the server working together one guilds work means nothing. Without Legacy help in borderlands and Ruin is also there supporting in the borderlands when needed. Following Legacy lead in their areas. But to say its all them is just plain silly, its not Ruin Its not Team Legacy its EVERYONE from Pugs to giant guilds. Its a team game learn that.

Hopefully they leave one day and you will see what I mean.

I actually think warriors are quite balanced against an elementalist, however mesmers and thiefs are just plain ridiculous at the moment. especially mesmers!

So have we as a community come to the conclusion that elementalists need to be buffed?

I agree any game where you can kill someone in less then 2 seconds is ridiculous.

Was the ele you saw being awesome with D/D build me by any chance ;D

Mesmers do more damage then thieves when in downed state but i do agree both of them do way too much damage.

I think they should either remove it or give everyone the same downed state abilities as some are far superior to others. Mesmer and Thief.. cough.

@javious i remember you and your mesmer ways!

How do you know if you are pro or not?

To the community of elementalists who helped critique my videos in a constructive manner it helped me learn some things and also change my build around. I now have a new build which I am using and I am quite happy with the results so far, definitely more damage and less running around :P I will try make another video in better quality in a couple of weeks to keep you guys updated on how I am progressing.

You need to watch Game 2 as well I never stay near an opponent to down them unless I feel like my team isn’t going to do it for me, but the majority of the time once someone is down your team will finish them off. That red that was at 10% was a thief so I knew I would never catch him or find him again, and didn’t want to leave the point.

I think the main point what people can get out of both videos is how to positioning yourself when you are fighting opponents as an elementalist.

It was my first two games of today, People wanted to see unedited footage so that is what i showed them. If I wanted to make myself look good i would of done a montage of kills or choose only the best matches yet i wanted to keep things real.

Also if i am a bad player yet still able to get 14 kills doesn’t that justify the class as being balanced?

The quality was bad on purpose I have a bad computer and internet i run everything on low settings and then i made the recording low quality. You don’t say on what to improve on exactly? Did you watch my second game I killed 12 people? The running around is what I call positioning I play like Ahri from LoL I go in and do damage and then back out for abit and then go back in.

Some comments would be nice. So I can get an idea of peoples thoughts?

@ Bunzy

Is this really your response?

Is this really a question?

Yeah, it is. However, I’m going to let other users point it out.

As I have stated its completely unedited and from the first two games i played. I could have shown a montage or games where my team wins but that’s not what the people wanted. I just recorded win or lose, play bad or play well I was still going to upload regardless.

Why can’t you trust PvP videos? Have I missed something?
