Don’t farm for AP if you think they’re disappointing?
I dont think he’s farming for it,you get these chests with regular play.I do have to agree i recently hit the 13.5k mark and i got 1 laurel and 2g…That’s laughable really..not even talking about the chest reward.
Adrenal health looked to be nerfed by 9hp/s at maxed out adren.
HS wasnt nerfed.
are you sure?
i dunno cos i did not watch the live stream.
they are actually gonna buff healing signet’s active without nerfing the passive ?
The forum logic is really strong..
HS in stream was 362hp/s. Remove points from defense line and check ingame how much healing signet heals for. Its like everyone forgot about the fact that traitlines no longer grants stats—>no healing power from def line.
Right there we lose 250/300 healing power based on build so is kinda obvious that its going to heal for a bit less unless you invest in healing power. Simple as that.
Traitlines no longer grant stats ?.. That’s gonna be a big nerf to my tank build.
I won’t mind actually having a choice of what to use in the healing spot for Warrior. Right now there is no choice.
Also boons are easy for certain classes to remove, but not all of them.
So the only choise left is to nerf the only viable healsource we have atm into the ground so we start picking up other healskills ? Just LOL..honestly,that’s some terrible kittening decision making there,as theyve done alot in the past.
A lot of you who played hammer warrior and enjoyed laught as you at unlocked people now get to experience the pain and frustration that ranged classes have suffered for far too long.
Pirate ship actually promotes more diversity. EVERY class can be viable instead of four, like it was earlier. I have run the “pirate ship” meta for years now, long before stability changes. Having to kite without ANY cc actually makes it MUCH easier now. Just because the builds you “love” to play aren’t brokenly overpowered in groups anymore doesn’t mean that everyone is dissatisfied. INFACT, many people prefer the sta I lift changes. U may say no to that, but that is most likely because u surround yourself with the other hammer warriors who were ht the hardest.
I’ll give u a way to play warrior: run rifle & GS. I do on my warrior, and it works great, even though people think rifle is “bad”. Guardians can just run wall of reflect and end people…
I don’t really understand your first sentence at all..As for your other points, this meta doesn;t provide for more diversity when 2 sides are full range standing around kiting and the few melee around can only act as cleanup crew when bodys go down.
“Having to kite without ANY cc actually makes it MUCH easier now”…And easier is good… ? It’s a borefest..you obviously prefer range over melee,i can see that..but your making some pretty invalid points.Besides i really don’t need you tell me what to run,as i know how to adapt to this meta..It’s not the issue if you have properly read and understood my posts,which whas that the current meta is a borefest with a lack of diversity and melee being pointless,where lots of builds have become useless,and where warriors have to run bow..like we are being pushed in pvp aswell..besides some other points you dont really care about.
It’s not spammable but with the trait changes, Ranger’s Wolf pet can do that. Beastly Warden (Beastmastery GM) pets taunt when utilizing F2 abilities and the wolf F2 is a fear.
Yeah i just meant,i can imagine being in some sort of taunt/fear lockdown..espec since this game isn’t 1on1 orientated there’s gonna be more people running around with taunt/fear..I can see the horror.
Learn how to dodge,it has an obvious animation to which you can react,the same thing can’t be said about lots of other skills from other classes that are mostly insta cast. Warrs dont grab bow for pin down,they grab bow for cleansing,pin down is an extra.
Here is your problem, stop being a zergling all your life and learn to do something skilful instead.
Nowhere did i mention that all i do is zerg.Im a roamer by heart,it’s what i enjoy doing most.The servers we face do not roam,so theres not much to roam about eventhough i Still do it.Why do i need to defend myself for things i never said,stop making up stuff simply because this thread is about zerging does not mean it’s all i do.It;s what i do when there is no roaming going on.
What servers do you come up against that you are claiming doesn’t have roamers?

Honestly, I’m glad the stab changes are doing things to zergs, now they just need to nerf more stuff so the nonsense zergs will stop and we can get back to actually having some fun small scale fights. Maybe we can even roam without everyone running away unless they 4v1 you and have a tower, zerg, or siege placement for backup in case they get hit by something.
Who knows, maybe anet is trying new things for the game to entice other types of players to try different game modes. Maybe the zerg nerfs will encourage people to come back in small groups and wvw again because they don’t get blobbed by a bunch of people who don’t even know how to 1v1 a rabbit.
Zerging won’t stop..the recent changes favors the side with more people,where everyone now keeps standing in a ball making one step forward and 3 steps back playing ping pong.While the melee class stands around doing nothing,then when a push happens..which only happens after lots of people from the other side got ranged down,melee can smack away at downed people..cleaning up.Thats not why i play…i do not play to stand around doing jack kitten and then only running along with a push over downed bodys to clean it up.
Yes,i have other options..before you gonna reply then “simply run something Range”..it is what im doing,still its not changing a thing about these borefest fights.How anyone can say they like this meta….i just cannot for the life of my understand it,its a complete kittening borefest with Less tactics being used ,definetely not more.Where in the past lots of different builds were viable,where most have been made useless now since range is king.
I’m not about to wait for the exp pack to get released,i made this thread out of pure annoyance,and frustration,boredom to see the last gamemode i still enjoyed playing get turned into a kittenfest and im losing interest to get on by the day…So no,im not overreacting,ive been playing wvw since day one of release,ive seen it all..And this meta is absolutely killing it for me and i feel less and less inclined to logg in.
frontline can still be run in this meta. It requires more bomb dodging and timing pushes but its possible. Frontline is at a disadvantage when vastly outnumbered now. Hymn has an aggressive frontline that still works in even numbered fights. Wait until the meta changes again when expansion comes out.
When expansion comes out..that is,6+ months from now ? Also i cant change how several servers choose fight,they choose to go all range,as my server is doing.
@Kanebraka,the issue is that the only viable builds to run is everything including range where melee has no more place,where many other previously viable builds have now become useless>I main a warr because i enjoy double melee builds,those builds have already been pushed out of pvp and now also out of wvw,besides that the fights atm are just a borefest.
Clearly your server is still stuck in the same way of playing,whereas things in EU has changed alot.I made my point clear enough several times now.How can you say I should push while i’m merely showing a point from a view based on tagging along with a pug comm and how these fights has drastically changed on both sides,you want me to push alone ? I can’t change the mindset of how people are willing to play,as im not commanding.
Also,i’m talking about the zerg fights,im not talking about gvg’s im not talking about organized guild fights either..I’m talking about the regular pug fights wheras i’m seeing the trend of melee being completely useless where in the past there was a great mix of Both melee and ranged…melee now being useless and range consisting 99% of the zerg and the one idiot that does dare to roll double melee will drop in an instant or stands around doing nothing.
And i really dont get how you can say i claim range is the only option and that it is a shortcoming on my behalf..What’s the point in going melee if both sides of servers have all range ? Again..you have not seen this meta at all,im positive of that.Saying i should roll melee vs 100% range blobs is an idiotic thing to say.
I dont know what server you play on if you hardly see a shift at all,but in T1 the shift is heavy.Before the change,Every class could be made viable and there was a large mix of range/melee with melee being the frontliners and the range classes going around to kite.At this point,there is No melee at all period,everything is range..and that’s the problem.
There arn;t any pushes going on,so for you saying “Just roll the build you want” shows that you clearly don;t see the issue at hand.If i go melee,i’d be the only melee around standing there doing nothing while the rest is playing ping pong,comms dont push,they kite and they aoe bomb.I did switch to range…thats the point,range is the only thing viable at this point where melee has been rendered useless.It seems you really dont understand or have seen the pirate ship meta at hand,i can talk to 10 people and they all say the same thing,eventhough of a different class…This meta is stale and boring as kitten.The previous meta allowed for more diversity in builds and playstyles.
How long is it gonna stay like this ? With the recent stabi changes,wvw fights turned into a borefest.You effectively ruined lots of builds that used to be viable in wvw,all heavy melee builds have been rendered useless,everything is range,everything is aoe bomb,everything is kite.There is no melee going on anymore,i see less and less warrs running around,and if they do…they Run bow ! Great..you pushed warriors to start using bow in wvw aswell….just like they need to do in pvp.
You destroyed every possible melee warr build being viable in zerg fights..Before these changes we had a variety of melee builds with linebackers and kiters going on around…Atm the change only favors heavy kiting,and it favors the side with more people and if you’re melee you got no place in these fights.
Honestly,im getting less and less interested being in wvw..cant run the builds i love to run,and the fights are just a kitten snoozefest picking off 1 player at a time from 1200+ range with 60 ppl vs 60ppl…My god…Please,do something about this horrid playstyle.
Remove Local.Dat,located in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Guild Wars 2.
You have to reset your video settings ingame afterwards again.
Also do a repair on your client- Rightclick the gw2 shortcut and add /repair behind the commandline parameter so it looks like “C:\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” /repair
Then restart gw2 and let it verify and repair your files.
Also try running the game on one gpu and look if your gpu’s are running at x16.
In this pre-expansion period, players are anxious for content to help pass the time. I think a WvW tournament would help invigorate the WvW scene, draw in a few otherwise apathetic PvE’ers, and give everyone a small boost of AP and some of those Hero’s and Mistforged Hero’s skins to boot.
It would be a good chance to get a final rush of players into the Mist War before the current borderlands get pulled out for the new one, and it is probably one of the least-demanding forms of content that could be implemented.
So, how about it? Would anyone else like to see another WvW tourney?
Nope…Pver’s go bandwagon to the most likely winner..every tourney so far has been kitten..IMO,offcourse.
Using meta builds doesnt make you a better player/wvwer..its make you dependant on builds you havn’t created yourself,you’re lacking the knowledge of your own builds/traits/setup to make proper judgements on what works with what thus copying stuff from other people and running with a “Working build” really isn’t gonna make you play any better at all.
Also i fail to see how lowering graphics makes you a better wvwer,something like that is system related.
Air is OP anyways,with 2.5 power air procs for 1.7 on me in wvw ( 1.2 in pvp ).Imo the 3sec should be raised to 5 sec.But there’s more op sigils like geomancy,when you go full condi ( On warr,with 50% bleed trait – krait ) you can let geomancy tick for 12 – 14 sec – 425hp/sec,which is just ridiculous.
Really…? Sfr “Roamer” ?!….Cough…
Banner has always been like this.Also,WIKI ftw!
" The banner will revive players for 100% of their total down state health and 100% of their normal health meaning that through debuffs (such as Poison and/or Agony), the banner’s revival capabilities can be negated to the point that the affected player will not revive at all, and only regain a portion of their downed health. This is a common issue in fractals, as levels with Mistlock Instability: Agonizing Expedition can cause players to have multiple stacks of agony, thus nullifying the effects completely."
@Caedmon , try to use your brain on this one. If fighting on a point, you can delay enemy point capture by using downed skills(preventing yourself from being stomped).
Although stealthing/mistform doesnt prevent it 100%, it forces your enemy to sit there and have to autoattack you or perform the stomp again. but this example only applies to points that you own/are uncapped.
As what someone else in this thread said, doing extra damage is always a bonus, even if it’s minimum.
I’m talking about the pointless situations where they’re just delaying their own death and increasing the time they can get respawned since there is No player near or coming towards that person.If you think delaying your own death when there is no way of getiing up again is a valid strategy…then use that Brain and go for it..
What i don’t understand is..Ele’s/Thieves/mesmers…Have this thing stuck in their head that they ALWAYs need to mistform/port/stealth when in downed mode even when it’s 1on1 and there’s no possible way of ever getting up,nor is there anyone close to res them they Inisit on stealthing/porting/using mistform…It’s not gonna save you,it will only drag on your death a bit longer..When i notice them doing it and them having to know it’s practically pointless at that time…I’ll bleed em out as long as i can..You wanna drag it out…Ill drag it out a bit longer .
Try rune of grove on any killshot build,yes you have less dmg..but that surprises effect of a bind root ( 12 sec if not destroyed ) can screw people over bigtime.It’s just to troll offc,but can provide for great fun and some free killshots.
This is your problems really. You’re bringing glassy builds against tanky opponents. If this was League of Legends, that’s like saying to Riot, “hey Riot, ban all armor and magic resistance items from the game because I can’t one shot everything, and whenever I fail to do my wombo combo I die to Udyr”.
5 Engies but you have to say something about the op’s glassy guld ? Because 5 engies is just everyday business right..Go tank and you’ll be fine…Heck of an advice there ! lol
so u didnt quite get the whole " not meta" or longbow thing ..did u?
Axe offhand will never get meta.It’s just bad in every way,low dmg..ppl can easily get out of the way,and the best thing,if youre hitting a guard with retal you’l end up taking 25% of your hp.
Not encountered a cele engi that can beat my gs war yet. In fact its beaten every turret engi I’ve dueled this weekend too. Lol.
Please tell me those Turret Engis know how to mirror rampage or land overcharge shot. Because I find it hard to believe that a guy kitten-rolled from Warrior to Guardian can do anything crazy on Warrior really.
actually a sucker 100blades move on an engi seems about a good choice for an engi.
Theres something wrong with that engi if the warr is able to land a full 100b once.
Still doesn’t answer how much you are willing to pay for all the work required to get DirectX 12 available for GW2.
No matter how much you try to twist and turn it, it will be a rather massive cost and it will take rather large amount of time and they will need to hire more people.
Never gonna happen,,more likely a GW3 will be running on Dx12..if ever.
Dont seem that many people care…Or even notice.And i doubt the devs can fix this…technical limitations and whatnot…when they have more important stuff to add like some cam zoomer or w/e.
Laugh it off…My recent one was a warrior that i wrecked 1on1 and afterwards he felt the need to spamm my pm with kitten you,untill he got supressed.The kids are sad,ignore and laugh is all i can do really.

Are you serious ? What a joke of a comment,the Lag is On Your End…kittenty servers not able to take on the full load of 3 full servers on a wvw map,stop giving us this crap thats its on Our side…Its not.
Your game is unplayable at prime in t1,im getting sick and tired of wanting to play…logging in and the game being completely unplayable for hours in a row,people are logging off earlier and doing smthing else cus of it.Go have a look yourself at prime t1 servers,Eu..and tell me your game is playable,this is kittening ridiculous and its going on for weeks now.
So much for trying to be taken serious though…I mean the OP made a valid suggestion in his eyes,now his thread gets merged with some other thread and renamed into NERF ? Honestly….. Its like, we dont need your kittening suggestions…
Overpowered is doing damage comparable to 100b + added damage,from not 1500,but 1700 range since that bug has been going on forever aswell,+ being able to move around while doing so aswell…That is op.Rapid fire in itself,the dmg,the range,the way their able to move around while using it,its op as kitten.Every idiot and his mother can down people with a ranger atm.Lock rangers in place when using rapid fire,disable them to move around while using rapid fire.Why does a skill like 100b has a self root applied but something as idiotic as rapid fire which does more dmg and has an insane range does not self root ?
Now now, warrior don’t start comparing things without full context, for that is the path to the complete destruction of your favored profession.
Or should every remotely similar option be rebalanced base on the perceived weakness.
I think i was making a valid point there.If you lock rangers into place while they use rapid fire,they have to be careful when to use it instead of simply able to use it wherever and whenever.It gives people a chance to get out of range aswell..so again the ranger actually has to use his brain before using rapid fire..Is the target in range ? am i able to fully unload rapid fire without making myself vulnerable ? is he close enough for every hit to land ? These are things the ranger doesn’t even has to think about atm.
Funny thing the ranger profession isn’t dominating the high end play, isn’t being selected as a stack-able profession, yet somehow it is ‘overpowered and needs adjusting’.
What does that say about profession that are in fact in the positions of dominance? Should they be nerfed into the ground to make the game mode more open to all potential compositions?

What about replacing Signet of Fury by Signet of Might? I think that the miss of adrenaline can be compensated by the anti-block properties of the signet once is activated.
The thing with Fury is…It can act as a huge surprise to some people not realizing you popping full adren and starting off with a killshot.
