It used to be awesome,there used to be tactics involved.Free transfers gave our server huge qeueus…Now the zergs getting bigger,because the comms in “charge” can only zerg themselves,instead of using 2 or 3 tags to split up instead,the queues are getting bigger…the karma trains are there for the loot only,Its spamm 1 and stay alive…only seeing rams going up at gates because..why bother trying something else.No,wvw has pretty much died for me as it is now.
So I play a decap Engi and I feel like I’m getting the wrong end of a stick. Sure holding and claiming a point does get me a little bit of points. Sometimes I can even get points for taking down players. But most of the time I’m maybe 4th or 5th place after we win.
With easily 50 points less than the person above me.
I was wondering if there was ever any mention of making the points “tic” every 1min-2min that would reward a player standing on point. Not something crazy rewarding, but just 5pts or something for defending a point.
Or reward players for how long they are alive (I rarely die, unless skyhammer.. darn 6s fears!)
You shouldnt be rewarded for standing still on a point the entire match playing your asuran decap engi.
Man Arah story is one of the coolest dungeons I’ve ever played in any game ever. So the fight with Zhaitan himself is easy, whatever, take in the dungeon as a whole, the story, the environment, it really is pretty awesome.
Its not about the dungeon…its about the lamest Boss battle in the history of gaming Ever. A Boss battle should be interesting and difficult and memorable,yet zaithan is a huge dissapointment in each and every way.
So there are invincible guardians and engiees who heal for more than you can deal with 2 people next to you and many other cheap builds you can use. But so far the most frustrating one I’ve seen, is this cheap Stun-Warrior. I’m not even joking when I say I don’t get to click a single skill on my ranger, and that’s wit having some decent HP(carrion gear) and defensive traits(pet takes some conditions and knockbacks etc.). Today my entire team has been brutally murdered over and over again by this cheap warrior using hammer. I’m not sure what to do, if even with my defensive things, tons of dodges, fears and pushbacks, this warrior still can just jump on me and kill me in seconds, shouldn’t it be nerfed? What’s with the cooldown of this thing? I get stunned and knockbacked over and over again. Nerf it, please…a lot. That’s coming from a guy who’s favourite class is warrior.
Whats cheap about a warrior with hamm? its the slowest heavily telegraphed weapon ingame.Besides..Youre a kitten ranger you have 30 sec stabi available !!! Complaining without knowing the game…..
Also stop trying to insult people by calling them cheap just because they are simply better than you are,and you cant seem to deal with that.
Honestly you start a thread with the name “How cheap can you be” Meaning that All hamm warrs are cheap ,Just because of your own lack of knowledge about this game you decide to put a lowblow against all hamm warrs.. How cheap can You be ?….Honestly cant this stuff just be deleted ? Its a waste of forum space.
Oh I can admit that someone is better than me when he/she pwns me in a fair fight. This build is just cheap. It is. It’s cheap. And yes, I’m saying all ham warriors with this build are cheap. And if you just read more of this topic, you’d find out that someone already told me about the stability, and I already responded, that it just doesn’t work with my build and it would be a waste to just spec agaisnt this one CHEAP build. =P What I asked for are advices, not “oh you can’t dodge” or “you just suck”. As far as I appreciate people getting offended so easily when their cheap build is at stake, I think it’s fair to say that something so easy to pull off shouldn’t be in the game.
You just need to learn to play,thats what i understand from reading your posts.Disregarding someones advice about how to counter a STUNLOCK build with bringing in stabi…is just pure stupidity.Also,you dont bring stabi for One class….’dont act like warss are the only ones able to cc,stunlock,or knockdown.You dont bring stabi for an engi or a thief or a fearspamming nec ? Gl with that !
Something so easy to pull off….? Play the class yourself.,actually…Grab your warr pm me ingame whenever you want and we go 1on1,lets see if youre able to stun me even once.
CC in this game is too strong. With sigil of Paralyzation, a double hambow can disable/immobilize a team almost constantly. If the other team run out of stability, it’s a death sentence.
And 2 necros can fear spamm someone to death..What..is..your..point ?
It would be really bad espec in wvw.Did you ever played Bf4 by chance,eventhough a completely different genre ? Then you should know how frustrating it is to be body blocked.
Also coming from gw1 where you could body block,and being surrounded by an mm nec was not much fun..
Switching from HDD to SSD massively improved my loading times to around 10sec average and 4sec in pvp. Coming from around 30 – 40 sec on my older 1tb HDD,no kidding..SSD will be your best investment if you get one just make sure its not a cheapo that will break in 3 months.
Stealth stomping,mistform stomping,elixer S stomping.Thiefs stomping While porting back and forward ( That one just doesnt make sense At all ),But most of all downed mode in itself is just a terrible mechanism,and completely unbalanced when you compare what some are able to do in downed compared to others

Lots of people just dont know how to have fun anymore and only login to win
Because in pvp you’re supposed to play to win…if you want to play just for messing around go back pve already…mobs don’t give a kitten if you’re bad and mess up. It’s like driving in a F1 race just to look at the landscape…and complaining because ppl start insulting you…rofl
..pve heroes…
Theres a difference between “messing” around and having fun,you might wanna look that up because im not gonna explain you the difference. Pve heroes ? Like i said,im not the guy getting bashed at, pvp/wvw is all i do.I simply despise people bashing the Newer players,and the types like yourself.Reading isn’t your strongest point is it buddy ?
I still dont understand why people feel the need to go to the cannon at all…Leave the kitten thing alone and act like it doesn’t exist..and play the game without it,so you will only get fearspammed to death or knocked off glass..wich is so much more fun.
Lots of people just dont know how to have fun anymore and only login to win
A lot of mistakes people make are mistakes in rotations. Like sticking in a 4v3 or even 4v2 for ages while a homedefender has to defend alone vs 2-3. When this happens and i ask for help i typically get a reply “stop qqing look at your score” or “stop moaning just have fun dude”.
Point is; your fun leads to someone else having a miserable time.
Point is,i still know how to have fun,when either winning or losing,im not the “newb” youre talking about yet i still despise these people bashing the new players every time .Its pathetic because that attitude is what gives Everyone on the team a miserable time and tbh when i see someone raging like that against a newer player…i kinda feel i actually just wanna stop it right there,i dont want to give a win to someone with such a feeling of being godsent and the only reason the team is actually ticking at all,yet not true…Fact remains,give tips to players,but raging and purposely afking round after round,just shows you have no place in solo q.
If everyone is doing his best no one will flame.
But sometimes i dont get the people.
Likse useless zergingn between nodes, 3 people try to stomp same enemy, people waiting on node to get the points instead of support the others.
If you play on a decent rating u dont wanna see this noobie stuff and than yes you will get the flame
You couldn’t be more wrong,some people just like to throw in the towel at 200 – 300 where people Are doing their best,but the guy in question usually gets his kitten handed to him but blames it on the team anyways,then still goes afk.Its just a hypocritcal toxic bunch that should get their own private “Im a toxic elitist kitten” server list so they can annoy the kitten out of each other.
Lots of people just dont know how to have fun anymore and only login to win ( if youre so bound on winning…Get 4 other people and get your kitten to Tq so you can stop the QQ and laying the blame on others for not winning ) .If they are unable to win they cant have fun for some reason,so their toxic attitude shows up saying how everyone on the team sucks except him..So he goes afk.Loads of people like that around,just report them for botting like anet stated and move on,dont even bother communicating with these people,its hopeless,theyre all the same “I think im elite” bunch that live in their moms basement taking a game far far too serious..
What about 4 necros and 1 engi…What about 4 guards and 1 engi…what about 4 mesmers and 1 engi…..You see where this is going yet ? Yeah,your thread couldn’t be more useless.
that usually happens if you get nailed with basilisk venom and then die. your body gets stuck in whatever animation you were doing before you croaked. It can also happen if you get nailed with 5 on ele ice bow then die.
Y but the thing is,it isnt just visuals.You actually get a delay after being hit by basilisk and being in this weird stuck in animation form,your chars animation has to unstuck or w/e making you actually get a delay on your next skill.Its pretty annoying though,basilisk just completely buggs out your character.
These people know very well why they pick an asuran in the first place..Engis/warriors mostly have a Huge advantage with this class up the point that it can be gamebreaking.You cant dodge what you cant see,you have to dodge by luck or anticipating while on other races you dodge because of the animations you see.The animations on asuran are just plain bad,they win because of their size,not because of anything else.If all their animations should be made clearer or their smallest size simply have to be increased for this to balance out the issue.But thats not ever gonna happen though,my bet is things will remain as they are.
Definetely S/S..Torment is still Op as hell,infact they should really nerf the dmg of this skill,ticking 800 dmg while standing still is just too much,the duration is also far too long imo with such a short cd wich can be reduced even to make you able to put almost constant torment on someone.
Honestly i stopped playing S/S – Lbow because its just way to strong and it really feels like easymode,after a while you just get bored of it since there is little challenge if you play the build right,espec if you grab a toughness regen banner with it.
Impale is such an obvious skill that is really is only a minor threat unless you’ve unbound your dodge key.
True but the thing with landing a skill like torment is,pushing your foe into wasting his dodges first.Usually my main problem with impale was that i would get randomly obstructed more then people were able to evade it.

You people cry about everything.If they run Gs,zerk with bullscharge and frenzy you cry..if they run hambow you cry..if they use healsig you cry,if they use berserk you cry.
Maybe its time for another game so you can dry your eyes a bit ?
“I heard thieves are OP so that means when I play my thief I shouldn’t get touched at all and if I do then it means that the class that beat me is OP because and needs nerfed….”
God please no…let the people currently having aviators enjoy being the ones having them…while others just have to remain jealous of the fact that they are not obtainable anymore.Enabling them again in the gemstore; with everybody going for them will make it a casual thing.I wouldn’t really enjoy seeing 90% of people with those glasses running around,that kinda ruins it..completely.
SSD really does the trick.I switched from a regular HDD to a Samsung evo 840 250GB,and my loading times have been drastically improved to around 10 sec the first time you load in the game,and depending on the zone and population the regular loading times scale to around 6 – 10 sec.PvP maps loads almost instantly.
Bf4 also has insane loading times on a regular HDD,but with an SSD thats also down to around 5 – 10 sec.It will really be a good investment,just make sure if you do..you buy a proper SSD and read some reviews from it first.
You should remove cleansin ire,that is not a bug.You can cleanse on Burst and since being blinded is a 100% miss chance you should not be able to cleanse yourself when being blinded since your attack misses.
Well that will be a huge pain for double melee classes,and simply saying " Go range" isnt really a viable thing to do.I should go range because of engies able to throw turrets in trees … ? Come on..I think they should fix this really.
Well im not sure if thats the case..i was just wondering since you said alot of belgium people suddenly having lag issues,try to ask around if those people are using the same ISP ( Internet service provider ) as you are.And if so you could try contacting your ISP and ask if they have some issues going on that could be related to the problems youre experiencing.

Promote more hambow, because apparently that’s how anet want warriors to play.
Lighter.5631
No they dont,thats how You want to play.There are lots of viable warr builds out there atm.
well, atleast they nerfed my not op build harder then any op warrior build out there. who knows which build will they nerf next
Well,atm im using a power/crit build and ive gotten a pm while doing pvp from a med class that ive hit him for 11k with evis…Tell me how thats not viable,the guy dropped in 2 sec.
1st of all,PPC axe build is bad in 5v5, it’s just bad, you either go far 1v1 all the time, or you are going to have a hard time in team fight and being lees effective, it does not matter how hard you hit, rifle can killshot some one 19k at 1500 range, oh it’s viable now, no, rifle is the worst weapon in any serious tpvp matches for warrior.
2nd of all, who tells you that i play axe build, i play gs/lb 20 0 20 0 30 bullcharge frenzy balanced stance, the only reason i dont need berserker stance or endure pain, it’s because of that trait allows me to stay alive if well played. but nerfed anyway.
i’ve always think this build as warrior’s shatter, but hey they nerfed shatter too, while buffing PU mesmer from what i heard, gg anet.
3rd of all, if you don’t know how strength warrior are nerfed harder then any OP hambow w/e build out there, then you are just casual warrior, and if you think PPC axe or even any thing axe is anywhere close to what a hambow can bring, you have no idea. they litterally just bring down the skillcap of strength warrior to match the hambow, while nerfing its damage and survibility (by nerfing that single important trait), so the build does not play anything more complex while being way less effective( they already are less effective pre patch) then those op builds, while these op builds are hardly nerfed
4th of all, have fun 3 hit ko engis and squishies with this new hambow build
Lighter.5631
You really don’t have to write such a huge wall of text saying how “bad” my build is in pvp,and then even try to say how casual i am.You dont even know my traits,sigils or runes or how my rotations work or even what offhand weap or what secondary weap i’m using….I merely said there are viable builds out there for warrs and gave you a quick example of what i meant. Besides the rest,Cba to bother with it…Goodluck with your bow!
Btw,90% of warrs are running bow..How can you even call me casual ? Make sense.
Unless they’re running constant vigor, endurance sigils, or traits that increase endurance regen, they can dodge twice in a row, and then cannot dodge for up to 20-30 seconds.
If they’re still dodging more than that, then you’re complaining about classes such as thieves or skills that have been changed to, or always were, full evades. In which case, not a bug in any form.
Please,pay attention to what im saying above.Im not complaining about certain classes,im saying that certain classes able to spamm evade this much with the current “Bug” that evade is lasting longer than it should last they can almost remain in a “permanent” evade state.Again..the evade window lasts too long,it should end Right After The Dodge,and not last 0.5 – 1 sec longer then it currently is doing.
The lack of responses on this shows most people are even unaware of this happening.
I dont know if anyone ever noticed it but the current evade time window is too long.E.g,you evade..youre out of evade again and back on 2 feet but you still continue to evade one or or two hits.I dont even know how to explain it properly,it just seems to me that evading last longer then it really should last.You should not be able to evade when you got out of your dodge roll,but this is what is continously happening on all classes,and has been happening since the start of gw2..Im kinda surprised ive never seen anyone reporting this tbh.
You’re applying logic to physics inside of a computer game. When you dodge, you’re going from a standing frame of reference, going through the animation of dodging (when stuff cant hit you), which then ends with another standing frame of reference.
The evade window should end right away after the dodge,this is not happening atm,people are out of dodge still able to evade one or two hits.If this is meant to be,then its just absurd.Classes with a high evade spamming window can abuse this so hard,you wont hit them once.

Hey folks, no worries. There are several routes through which you go to access the game or the forums, and I’m told the forum sometimes throws an access IP from Texas, but that’s you… or us… or you talking with us on the forums. So it’s all good.
Does Sigil of Force boost the damage from Sigil of Fire/Air?
No, the dmg from fire/air is a fixed number and can’t be increased or critted.
False. Sigil of air has a 1.1 damage coefficent, Sigil of Fire has a 1.0 damage coefficent.
The base damage of both sigils is 950. Meaning that if you increase your Power, you will do more damage when it procs.
The blind imo is a broken mechanic.No one should be able to spamm blind non stop,then able to port,evade spamm,or stealth away on top of it..Have fun trying to land a hit in between there,speaking as a double melee class ( non condi user ) ,there’s little to do against if you meet a thief that doesn’t waste his stuff away.
It’s just that underwater pvp is completely unbalanced up to the point that it just didn’t make much sense,most people rather avoided the underwater fights all together.I did like the map though,i will miss it..i’d rather have seen that they just revamped the map and shallow out the water so you could just walk there instead.But who knows…it might come back revamped eventually.
The crit nerf was needed,the dmg some classes could do was just too much at times,espec on thieves.Fights last a bit longer now,im really liking it eventhough ive been hit with the nerf bat aswell,no complaints here at all since you can pretty much still compensate for the lost dmg.
You will get loads of lvl up scrolls,tomes in a matter of time..If only you actually play instead of hanging on the forum.I actually like most changes being made,especially being able to completely look like my WvW char right away…now even with kitten sunglasses equipped.Pvpers can earn and unlock much more rewards then we used to be able too earn.Im actually looking forward to unlock my reward tracks.
I’ve actually used Sigil of Fire and Air on my greatsword and it is actually really strong.
Yeah thats fun if they both proc at the same time while landing a burst that also crits.Fire + Air is a pretty strong combo for dpsing.Purity + Generosity will also become a really strong combo,for cleansing that is.
I really do not understand these kind of threads,sorry if i sound rude.The patch isnt even live yet and you want others to make you a build already ? Why dont you just wait till tomorrow so you can figure something out yourself ? Isnt it much more rewarding to make your own builds than to only copy/paste stuff other people use ?
Seeing from your post history…Its all you do,you ask builds for ranger/guard/thief/warr. I just dont get it…..
Classes with 2 weaps can switch around,any other classes just use /dance or /sit emote.Also mobility skills,leaps etc will get you of it.Still an annoying bug though.
(I rarely die, unless skyhammer.. darn 6s fears!)
