Do the rats display the right animation now like any other race, or does it still look like they stand still and BANG headshotted?

Like every class has such telegraphic skills able to read? Warr is easy to read Besides gunflame..It’s our only non high telegraphic skill.We used to had a killshot…Kneel down.. LOOK AT MEEE,now im gonna shoot…ready to evade ? Here i go ! The change to gunflame was awesome,learn how to deal with it.Ive been fighting kittenloads of gunflames myself,sometimes im lucky,sometimes im not,kitten happens.

For being able to do such gunflames the guy needs to run full zerk and probably,most likely…very likely also is not running def line.Means he has no cleansin and propably only 1x endure pain maybe stabi considering if he has both sig of might and fury or either one of them.Besides there’s still the ability to lose his los,get out of range if you dont have invulns ready.

I remember some months back meeting a ranger where his Juvenile Drake hit me for 12 – 14k damage with Tailswipe,i believe i ran knight even.
I do believe he traited fully for that too happen.We did some duels after to see the dmg his pets could do,the drake by far hit for the highest.And tbh it wasnt even that hard to land it on me eventhough the swipe in itself is slow,he made sure to either root/knock where his pet charged at me.

lol master of weaponary but we can’t use all weapons first. And suggestion of allowing 3 weapon for warrior is also rejected.

The longer warrior sustain, the more dangerous they become? Nope it deosn’t work after shout heal nerf, and also shoutbow is alao gone. probably druid can do this what its deacription says.

Warrior is just trash. they can does none of its description.

3 Weapons ..Can you not see how incredibly OP that would become… ? Mace,ham,gs combo…SEEMS LEGIT MANG ! As in they say,The longer warrior fights,the more dangerous he becomes…They mean the Adren filling part and Bursting.That is correct.

Warrior could still use some work,but its far from being trash.

Ranked gave me a feeling on some progression being made,something to work for.Theres no ultimate goal in unranked,it’s just random matches,and lotta people have done 5 – 10k matches in all these years,maybe more w/e.Think lots of people are getting bored of just playing to play with nothing to really go for or show off why youve been playing so long and oftenAlso i doubt those top teams have alot of actual resistance in pvp if they go unranked now.

How do you play with your mouse?

in PvP

Posted by: Caedmon.6798

Caedmon.6798

If I had my right hand on my mouse, that means I have to use my left hand for my skills but then I can’t move my character. See what I mean?

No I don’t really see what you mean. I can press one of the wasd keys while pressing 1-4. Doing this while holding right mouse button lets you turn as fast as you want.

Since you’re not using your mouse, I assume you backpedal. This puts you at a huge disadvantage. But you already mentioned that I think.

I also have keys bound to the button on the side of my mouse and my scroll wheel on my mouse. They are easier to reach than any key on my keyboard because my hand is already on it.

No I don’t back pedal, that is stupid. The thing is, I do use my mouse but rarely, usually to use ground target skills and to turn when not in combat. But when I’m in combat I take my hand of my mouse.

You say you can keep 1 finger on WASD while hitting 1-4 but the way I see that is awkward. So I would have my index finger on D while my ring finger is stretching just to hit 1 or 2. I just don’t see how this is efficient.

Gaming mouse seems the thing for you,something with 12 side buttons will be a gods gift.

If you have any sort of corruption now you should be able to crush any Rifle Berserker now. Force the Berserker’s Stance, corrupt, pile on the condis.

If you don’t wanna go down that path that’s your choice, but now Necros/Reapers are back to almost hardcountering many Warrior builds.

A proper rifle warri wont use berserk stance,that means he has sig of fury prob,that means he has full adren at the start of a fight and able to pull of a gunflame early.other than that its a matter of using rush to get out of range so gunflame can recharge and then blast again,most necs are easy to handle on gs/rifle even without any cleansing.

Proper rifle War? I run this version when I have support and something like this when not. Anything let open is for personal taste or depending on team comp.

I see no reason to use Signet of Fury when Head Butt does the job of filling up my Adrenaline, doing decent to amazing damage (seen it hit 9k), and stunning them long enough to hit a Gun Flame and follow it up with Rifle Butt which sets them up for eiher Brutal Shot or Volley.

The Berserker’s Stance change hurt vs Necros but when it comes to many classes the combination of Resistance, Stability, and Unblockable makes dodging or Invuln your only way to avoid it. Crack Shot now also gives out so much Adren that it’s not the end of the world if you miss Head Butt. I see no use for the Arms line either.

Reason for arms is also unblock at 50%,plus a guaranteed burst crit.Fury is for able to start off early at Range,headbutt for when u get jumped to fill it up again,or to break a stun.

Your client is probably corrupted.I remember seeing pink objects in wvw, oil and certain sieges.After removing Local.dat and doing a /repair on the client it got fixed.

Local.dat is a file which holds your graphics options etc ( Im not sure what it does besides it but after some time it continues to grow in size ) located in

C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Roaming\Guild Wars 2

Simply remove the file,it will get replaced with a new one when u boot the game up.
Do note your graphics settings are put back at default.

Do a repair on your client by adding /repair to your gw2 shortcut commandline parameter,start up the game after and let it repair.

Remove the /repair commandline when you’re done.

There’s a function called dodge, i’m not sure the necros you are talking about know what it is

You can only dodge so often,something you bait out offc.Im not sure what you’re talking about thinking necs can perma dodge.

Overall patch is good, but classes like necro, scrapper and druid still need to be tuned down. And warrior needs little fixes to be into meta.

Nice video btw.

Agree,warri overall damage is in a good spot really but our sustain compared to other classes is just horribad,give us protection on a trait and it will solve a whole lot.

If you notice the OP’s history you can see he plays more than just warri…Dont be so dense,the OP tries to make some valid points and you jump in here thinking it’s only cus hes 100% warr and only qq cus of it.Hell,he even Asked for a buff to power nec recently..

How can thieves blind spam when the resistance is up? You should be in better shape against blind spam with the new stance than the old based on duration alone.

It’s what i noticed,somehow the blind got through the resistance each time..It were 2 thieves though..But usually i popped berserk when it happend and i Knew for sure i would not get blinded when trying to burst.

We should run some tests then to figure out what’s going on. It shouldn’t matter how many thieves are spamming blind, tbh, resistance should stop them all. So if it’s a bug, we definitely need to document and get that sorted out.

Fwiw, I haven’t experienced it myself and I was fighting two thieves today. They lit me up, but they didn’t blind me with resistance up.

I dont know if it was a bug or not though,maybe boon steal was part of it aswell.I just dont feel as safe with berserk atm as i was before.

Atm,i just dropped berserk completely,mind you i used it in every build before.Im trying out sig of might or fury even sundering leap was fun to use,gives full adren aswell and acts as an extra gap closer, with balanced stance/ep.

Caedmon.6798

Well melee warriors had a fighting chance against necro with the old berserker stance in their build. And we could traverse in group/zerg fights with it. ‘Now’ it’s insta death. I think it important we recognize the difference. I’ll gladly take “hard” over “impossible”. And what other necro are there in wvsw if not chill/power/condition? Tank? lol…

I honestly have trouble syncing this up with my own experience, which has been the opposite, for the most part.

The old Berserker’s Stance bought you 8-10s at most… if you were lucky, they’d use all their condi burst while the stance was up. If you were unlucky, they’d know to wait, or you’d use it when they weren’t about to bomb you anyway.

The new Berserker’s Stance allows you to wait until you’ve actually been bombed, and lasts 12-14s (or 16-17s if you have boon food on and aren’t in EBG). Resistance is less obvious on a boon bar than the old stance icon but, even if they see it, there’s little for the necro to do but try to corrupt the boon. But corruption is random, so the necro has to get lucky to actually corrupt the resistance (vs your other boons), and it’ll reapply in 3s or less anyway.

And it’s not as though every skill corrupts, and they’ll be busy trying to kite like hell while your resistance is up.

Honestly, while necros/reapers were the only thing that had me a bit hesitant about the stance change, the experience hasn’t really born out the concern.

You still had healsig for the resistance..The change is a nerf,not a buff.Resistance can be ripped,the old berserk immunity could not.It was a free 9 sec of non condi spam on you.

LOL 2 sec grace period for Adren decay

in Warrior

Posted by: Caedmon.6798

Caedmon.6798

Well, it is SOMETHING… perhaps SoF/to_the_limit will be usable again to “pre-boost” as you would be dropped to 2 bars by the time your burst skill launched with the earlier adrenal combat rules.

Nope, no pre-boosting. If you are not in combat when you gain adrenaline the decay still happens instantly.

Yup..That’s the mistake.They should give the grace period of adren decay also when not yet in combat..This really doesn’t change a whole lot and still we are unable to start a fight with a surprise burst.

Shame condis carry people rather than the player carrying themselves

True,i play condi alot myself on warr,i can do things on it im never able to do on power ( blocks/dodge/ports/blinds etc etc ).It is easier to land your condis and let it tick while you arn’t even close anymore as opposed to power where every hit needs to land,condi > power theres no doubt about it imo.

Caedmon.6798

Am I missing something here?
You have to get struck in order to have condis on you in the first place.

If you have 3 conditions on you, you have to be physically hit 3 times to remove them. With a cooldown of 1 second. Oh and you have to be above 75% health.

The trait is absolute trash now.

Try warri Berserk util now,and come back at me..I havn’t rlly had the chance to fight an ele 1on1 yet to see how diamond skin works out now,but it all seems a push to more condi with less counterplay against it.I actually thought when i read the notes that the diamond skin change was gonna be a buff instead of a nerf.

Guardian Sword 1 (Combo #3) REFLECTABLE

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Caedmon.6798

Caedmon.6798

Yup,it’s supposed to be a projectile.

This skill unleashes three piercing projectiles that hit up to three foes each.

The three projectiles count as three attacks toward activating the Virtue of Justice passive effect.

The projectiles sent out can be blocked, absorbed or reflected by fields. If this happens, the skill chain will not break, forcing the player to use it again, wasting two attacks in total (or waiting for the skill to revert to the first chain).

The crash appears to be coming from your graphics drivers.

It’s a known bug in W10,going from windowed mode to fullscreen = crash.

“The bug presents itself in the fast-ring update for Windows 10. These are alpha versions of the OS. The bug exposes itself and appears when the user will go from windowed mode towards full-screen mode. Numerous games will then crash completely.”

Ive been unable to finish off downed players alot lately,it’s going on for about a month or two now.I doubt it is lag related because im able to cleave the person in the position he is.

I also remember the other bug we had where we were unable to finish off people which was related to desyncing players.If you leaped to the player you would jump to a totally different direction to where he was.It’s not the case with this because if i leap or cleave to the downed person i stay in the position to where the player is downed.It happend on random classes.

Please look into it.

Caedmon.6798

WvW is literally a ghost town. It’s gotten quieter over the weeks, to the point where it’s just empty. It’s so disappointing, because WvW was the thing I was wanting to do most in GW2.

The PvE gets stale after you get lvl 80, finish the story and do the lvl 80 zones a few times. sPvP, well I don’t think I need to even mention anything about that. The PvP forum is all you need to look at there.

I just logged out after running around EB for a bit. There was about 3 other players that I saw in Map Chat. I hate to say it, but there’s little reason for me to play the game any more. WvW doesen’t seem to be an option in the game, as there’s no players there to actually make the mode work.

Depends on the server and the tier you’re in,on FSP it can be quite busy still espec around prime but only on EB..Bl’s usually deserted still,people try the map plenty but no one really likes it so everyone hops to EB,e.g we had a 112 queu tonight..

  • Removing bunker amulets is a dream come true! Great job.

Give it week 1 of Season 2 and it will be “This is no fun… I just die in 2 seconds constantly to this <insert burst spec here>, wish I could build more defensive”

That’s a potential risk, but that’s also why we’re putting these changes in weeks before the next PvP League season. If we get an early indication that things aren’t going the way we want them to we’ll have time to make any needed changes.

Have you ever thought of class specific runes/sigils in pvp ? And how that would work out considering some runes/sigils could be op for e.g scrapper while they could just be “useful” for another class ?
