Then use whirling axe when the enemies don’t have retal. Not every class has perma retaliation.
Have fun finding that out when you have a 5vs5 in pvp,you wont skip through all these people and clones and pets and minions fast enough to see wich one has retal and wich has not,by the time youre skipping through ppl whether to see if you can use whirl or not…youve lost alot of precious time,and the ppl that didnt had retal by then,might have it now.
Just wondering, but is this cheesy strategy what’s causing the Endless Black Quaggan Tonics to cost 4-5 times more than any other Endless Quaggan Tonic? I’ve noticed several people doing it lately, especially in Garrison, and it is REALLY hard to see their name tag unless you look at them from JUST the right angle… let’s hope this gets fixed somehow.
Yes lets remove these tonics aswell.Just as the ability to use townclothings or any other form of fun in wvw……Honestly, Who cares ? Make a proper sweep and just look better when you do so.
I think a quaggan is still easier to see and catch than 2 thieves and a mesmer hiding.
I once switched to a mouse with 12 buttons on the side,for Aion that was i think.After that it was impossible for me to switch back,once you get used to being able to use your skills with your thumb while having your left hand free for movement etc,it just makes it so much easier.
“what about the OP mesmers”?
I forgot, that most teams in solo are getting carried by ATLEAST 2 mesmers. I forgot that to be a top 100 team you need to have ATLEAST 1 mesmer……and all this time were were blinded by “qq train to warrior land”
You can be the sarcastic kitten all you want,idc really.The point im making and that you are missing is that there are several classes with extreme op builds,yet warrior is the one being named again and again and again untill you people are satisfied when it gets nerfed into the ground being useless again ( How anet is giving in to the constant healsig qq and will probably nerf it by 8%,useless but still.) QQ enough and they touch it apparantly,..Tired of all the complaints about warr when there are so much other op builds out there.
@Tao,there arn’t enough people playing spvp for anet to start dividing them up into ranks ,like rank 10 will only fight against 10 – 20 ranks etc.Its impossible for them to do so with such a low pvp playerbase.
I recently came back to my favorite PvP game to enjoy the dynamic combat that I love from GW2 pvp.
Basically the game is nothing how I remember it to be. It turns out that matches have become who has the most warriors, and these new warriors are ridiculous. It has become a game of waiting out CDs. “there goes berserker stance, kitten, first endure pain, burst. Passive endure pain, wait it out. Block, interrupt or wait it out. Try toburst before they get another cooldown back” not to mention that they heal 400-700 hps when theyre invulnerable, and hoping that no one comes to help them while you spend all that time trying to kill one. I remember when we used to laugh at a signet warrior lol
Not to mention all the pet builds. You outright have to outplay by quite a bit these builds to kill them. I dont mind builds being OP, there will always be OP classes and builds with each patch and the meta will shift, but this current meta is focused on passive abilities. I get Anet is trying to get the PvE community to play more pvp since the community has died out, but making PvP simpler is not the way. Im still winning most of my matches, but its not fun anymore…
TL;DR: Win or Lose the current meta is not fun. Please take a look at it Anet, take some drastic changes for once and switch around the meta to make it more dynamic.
Only warriors being named again ? How many matches Did you play ? What about the OP engies,necros,guardians,mesmers,“Some” thiefs.. ? There are several of those in every pvp match aswell…But no, no thats not interesting lets just follow the qq train to warrior land.
There are mmo’s already available that do have naval “warfare”.I dont really think it has a place in gw though,if i want to play a warfare game ill throw on shogun.
100b is one of the easiest skills to evade tbh,Its a self root with a clear animation,you dodge Through him,behind him…Bye 100b. Bulls charge got Fixed a while back,theres nothing wrong with it now,it actually works,it used to be useless and always missing,the range was to short.And about quickness….That already has been nerfed from 100% to 50%.
Graphics all load fine for me,its the UI that seems to have a noticable delay wich can last up to 15 – 20 sec before fully loading while already ingame.
i love using shield from my guardian,warrior(sort of) and engineer. but the shield special timer is too long to wait! other off hand weapon are short and fair; compare to shield 24 and 32sec with honorable traits IX (30 and 40sec if no traits)!?
toons dead by the time it deploys the shield block!
please ANET be reasonable and reduce the timer to balance with other off hand weapons?
The shield timer is fine.
Many people think it is, indeed, too long. Shields are rather poor in guildwars 2, both in that other weapons offer more defence and in that their abilities have horrible cooldowns. One would also think that a shield would be about blocking, but often, that’s not the case with the abilities they are given.
Shields are just plain bad and guardians especially are better off just using a Hammer.
People have enough immunitys and blocks as it is,timers are fine.For warr speaking,having endure pain 5 sec immune,trait for endure pain,4 sec immune,shield stance 3 sec immune on a 30 sec cd wich can be lowered to 25 sec,that does Not need to be lowered anymore….Godmode comes to mind.

I don’t remember which patch exactly, but around two months or more ago, the emote ranges were doubled. If not tripled. This likely does not affect most players, but as a member of the Tarnished Coast RP community, it makes an already healthy amount of chat scroll borderline unreadable. I have been in Ossan Quarter and have read emotes from players confirmed to be in or around Rurikton.
This may be low on the proverbial bug list scale, but it’s a quality of life issue that I think would make a lot of players in my community happy if it was addressed.
Thank you.
Disable emotes shown in chat in the chat options menu.
Warrior’s are super broken, I know you’re talking bout spvp but in wvw and pve you can get 3k armour and over 20k health with full zerker warrior they’re so broken. Just don’t even bother run away while the noob playing the class wishes he could play a class that requires real skill.
You seriously do not got any clue at all about this game do you ? All you post is ..Warrs got 3k armor and 20khp,SO OP PLSZ NURFFF….Learn how to play,and stop complaining because of your own lack of skill.
Full zero you get 3k armour 20k hp and still do truck tons of damage plus that BS healing signet healing 600 hp/sec. Just go perplexity don’t even wear weapons just spam bull charge you win.
Also,funny how someone like you make a post like this,someone making other threads asking for the most current op builds around to be playing,mesmers/necro’s.And then complain about warriors 3k armor and 20khp…You prob got wrecked by a warr with one of your copy paste op builds amiright ?
I think you might need some pvp practice aswell first.I really suggest to hop to HotM with a buddy,join any empty server and just do 1vs1 skirmishes to practice the feel of your character and gives you insight on how to deal with particular classes 1on1.It best if you know someone that has multiple chars/classes so you can practice vs them all.
You have to report them Properly,meaning they would like you to send a video to exploits of you showing the bot,his name,his id,his movement,the map he uses etc etc.They wont just randomly bann any person,also dont forget how many random reports being made Everyday.Thus making a video and reporting them with proper information will speed up the process.
As an Elementalist player and lover, this is absolutely horrible to read and take in.
Before you rage out at the Elementalist in your team in yoloQ for not playing an AI based class that plays itself, remember that you did this to the class.
All the endless whining about RTL, ele heals, triple cantrip bunker.
Everyone who ever complained about Elementalists, it’s your fault. Please don’t get mad at me for “playing a useless class that contributes nothing to the team.”
I don’t care! I will play the class that I love and I will get my Champ Magus title and then you’ll see my rear end as I RTL away from this horribly cancerous game mode.
I can’t enter one SoloQ game without having to block at least one person on my team.
I don’t think the problem is that Elementalist is weak, I think the problem is that other classes are too stronk.
What do you think?
I think that when you have to block atleast one person in every match,that maybe you should look at yourself first. I dont have to block anyone,in any match.

The design team overlooked something vitally important in EOTM… ambient creatures to kill so necromancers can build up their death shroud.
This is especially important when a necromancer dies and their death shroud is completely depleted. There is nothing to build it up with until you get into the middle of a pitched battle.
So give us some ambient creatures in the spawn area so we don’t go in to battle handicapped.
You shall earn stacks,In battle.
You shall build up your shroud,In battle.
You shall not get up from downed state by hitting mobs.
Since the introduction of Eotm i havent been able to play it much myself.I would like to know how people feel about EoTM,what their first reactions were,how you like the map layout,the added defensive mechanisms,the buffs,the different area’s,the destroyable bridges,everything.Will it have an impact on wvw as a whole,was it wise to let all servers from the same colour join the same team ? Do you think something is not quite right and can be changed for the better ?Tell me what you like or dislike about Eotm and for what reason so.
If anet has a way to figure out the difference between players disconnecting and straight up leaving as explained,they should implement a way to punish these people by adding immediate dishonered status or cut their glory/rank gain in half for a day.
Ive had the same some while ago,was suddenly able to dodge infinite but i could not attack and someone else in my party still saw me on the map dodging Forever since endurance didn’t get used for some reason.
Either lag or a fps drop..so youre not even sure wich of the two…. ? You do know the difference between the two right ? Did you even check if you have fps drops at all… ?
Because as of now, everyone just goes there and ignores the battlelands
really sucks to have 3 maps empty and everyone (as in all servers based on color) in the new map.
this ruined WvW. Everyone is now piled into a map smaller then EBL
How could you even think things would be different ? Its a New Map after a year and a half…wouldnt you have expected Everyone to try it out ? Thats just a no brainer.
This one teaches us how to kill someone by avoiding damage, good one too!
The amount of ignorance in this thread is to much high and makes me sick! I’m outta here.
I am glad to share the same sickness, i am sick of thief lovers defending a broken mechanic as well.
Basically you want to have the ability to reset every fight when you are about to die, to try again over and over until win it? That is you want? because that is what happen with the stealth in current state. That is fair for you?
Oh i forget, i must “l2p” to counter it. Are you reading this post about how easy is instant stealth stunbreak away when you are about to die and you rely in blind hits to “try to counter” a stealth mechanic. How funny sir.
Thief haters have tunnel vision. Let me give you a list of classes that can reset fights just as good as thief.
Warrior – Stability and then rush laughing ho ho ho all the way. Good luck immo or chill due to -98% condi duration
Mesmer – Stealth…more stealth then blink…oh and more stealth
Ele – LF then FSG
Ranger – Sword Evade back into keep or tower
Engi – Stealth and or Rocket Boots. Or blast finisher in smoke field for 5 secs of stealth.
So…whats the problem? The majority of classes can reset fights.
A warrior isn’t able to pop in stealth and dissapear so the enemy won’t even bother looking anymore.The warrior can be kept as focus since other classes got high mobility aswell.The thief class is usually being played the same way,they give someone a few hits and if he doesnt drop fast enough they just stealth and dont have to worry about a thing.Stealth is way to forgiving.They shouldn’t be allowed to just stealth every 3 -5 sec, + all that constant evading the entire class is Way to forgiving.
Chopping up maps for smaller team fights is an option. The water in Spirit Watch or the center point in Foefire are examples where players already do this with custom arenas. However, unless we needed 6 TDM maps ‘RIGHT NAOW’, we would still prefer to make a new polished experience and let players with customs arenas keep doing what they already have been.
I am fairly certain a lot of players wouldn’t mind having these “chopped up” TDM maps – no more conquest pls
It seems like people really want (and want we also want) is a way to officially support new games modes combined with our current queues regardless of what the new map is.
I highly doubt that people will want to be playing TDM on a chopped up version of one of the existing maps,i know i don’t..They/We want complete New maps and new gamemodes.Chopping up current maps into bits and pieces for TDM wil interest players for a week or 2 before moving on again.
The shoulders on norn looks really BAD this must defently have been made by a developer from blizzard.
Agree about the shoulders,theyre way to big.. out of proportion.For norn atleast.Same for phalanx btw..the shoulders arent even attached to your shoulders,they just kinda..float above..looks awkward.
I still dont see what’s fun about the post though…An illiterate 9y old talking about gw2…Or atleast an Adult acting as an illiterate 9y old talking about gw2…Anyhow…It’s still dumb no matter how you look at it.
I have tried all of the professions with at least 40 hours of active play in wvw, my personal opinion is that warrior has the best self support tank, and guardian best group support tank.
I am interested in FULL tank build – sacrifice everything for the sake of survival, make the best use of group support of others, make best use of my own skills for myself.
Basically, can you recommend me a build which is selfish (so to say) and will allow me to be the last man standing in big zerg fights?
btw, i’m not interested in roaming, or soloing, but running with the zerg and holding a front line.
What allows you to be the last man standing on the field,is your Skill,not your build.If you cant even come up with an own strong toughness,survival build,i dont have high hopes seeing you stand as last man in a zerg fight.Those people Know their builds.
if engis,thiefs and necros have an extra Skyhammer build. Warrior can has it as well. This template let you space for your normal build and you have 40sec stability and a trait that gives you even more stability.
Yeah nice try dude, you can right away cut of 30 sec stabi because No one is running with rampager.
We’ve shown our prototype maps already for new game modes. Our current maps really are designed specifically for conquest. Trying to make a new game mode work on existing maps is really tough because options are so limited. Not to say it’s impossible, but I believe creating a map for a specific game mode really makes it fun to play.
Please,have kurzick – luxons in mind as a stand alone game mode,doesnt even have to be in HotM.. It was one of the most fun pvp things to do as end content in gw1.
This helmet looks really bad. The shoulders and vambraces looks really good, but god, the helmet looks like i don’t know. Make something more fitting please. It would be nice to have more radiance on my body. Currently i use other helmets, but sadly they don’t radiate glow.
That’s all a matter of opinion,not a fact.Many people actually dislike the shoulders you like.
I just started playing wvw. I used to just play pvp before for more than half a year and I noticed that thieves use stealth beyond normal in wvw. I dont know why they are allowed to do that in wvw. It’s not fun fighting them at all.
I play as a zerker ranger and it takes a lot of effort for me to kill a thief. I can beat them theres no problem about that but i dont think that they are even exerting any effort to the fight. most of the times they will stealth then run far away, reset and come back. it is lame, no-skill and braindead.
They only look for the weak soloers,when they give a player a few hits that reacts to fast or doesnt drop quick enough,its stealth and run… Just make sure you pin them down Fast,and drop them before they can blink.
The only part o Skyhammer I don’t like is the power of the cannon, it requires nearly no skill to use and does way to much damage to way to large of an area. If it was more on par with trebuchet I would be totally fine with it. The area should not be so large that it is often nearly impossible to get away from, it should be just a little larger than a point, imo.
I love the dead falls, the general map design is lovely.
The cannon is to strong in skyhammer,reduce the dmg on it.If i;m able to hold it the entire game,this will happen.
That is a terrible example, for one, 6 players, so it is hotjoin or custom, two the levels are stacked very heavily towards your team, not that rank is the end all of skill, but there is an obvious experience landslide here.
It doesn’t matter if it;s hotjoin,its just a prime example what happens when someone is able to cap it the entire match,solo q/team q/hotjoin,it happens in all..This was just one scrnshot i could find,since i dont make them all the time.
It’s an alternative to direct3d and opengl.Since gw2 isn’t even dx11 or has a 64bit client for that matter.. i doubt they will invest time and money to implement mantle.
