Guild Wars 2

Only way Anet could possibly convince me to use a conjure is if it acts as a second weapon, switchable with ` and with a switch CD like every other classes, disappear on cd etc etc.

I still hate the fact that Anet is trying soooo hard to push conjures on us, no matter how hard they buff them i would not give up 20 skills + 1 utility for 5 mostly useless skills.

The one night I was there when YB camped ebg sf spawn with ballista army is because we wanted to WP in LL, and didnt want camp/yaks to get disrupted. Otherwise i try to stay off spawn, SBI’s spawn camp still leaves scars in my memory. And please believe me when i say most commanders operate away from spawn, but there will always be a group of pug there setting up sieges camping, nothing we can control here.

yaks numbers or not they still are really really bad players, the main reason them even getting matched up with us is because they cant cope with servers in their tier who actually cordinate and have tactics lmao oh man u guys crack me up.. btw [GLOB] needs to leave your server you dnt deserve them. on a lighter note it was tons of fun flipping yaks t3 garri and hills earlier today. cheers.

On an even lighter note it was fun watching SF trying to get out of spawn, while we WP your Lowland.

Nice Ultra Mega Tryhard Zerg on Overlook 3:50 PM PST
Guess what?, I built 27 Arrow Carts,3 trebs,5 catas,cannons and oil.
Successfully defended the zerg North Gate, That SILVER squire brought one golem, and of course most of them died. So they brought 3x more at south gate, which I also had 8 arrow carts on to defend Inner gate, and OF COURSE, they brought MORE golems, and with a paper gate that will melt quickly no Matter how many arrow carts there are. Overlook as lost, as I cried and sat dead in the lords room wondering to myself, why do I waste time on this game when it’s not even fun at all.
Outnumbered, Lost every thing on the map, along with having yaks dance on my body.
Apparently sieging up overlook a hour in advance isn’t enough against these mindless karma trains.
Numbers WILL be winner in every battle.
After spending 7g on a keep to just lose it to some mega yak zerg just makes me depressed and angered to the point where I threw my Gw2 Disk out the window and to take a break from WvW.

Tired of getting unfair matchup, as I am speaking for everyone on Ebay.
Now begins my hiatus and adventures on PvE land.
/Rage

Ebay cant get people out to fight isnt our fault right? Quit complaining and just deal with it. Last week against SBI was the exact same scenario, except we dont even have time to upgrade anything.

I suggest replacing Omega with charr siege tanks!

It’s pathetic that these old jokes are still relevant isn’kitten

I am planning on use celestial weapons/armor with cavalier trinkets.
Since switching to ascended celestial d/d from knight, i have noticed quite a damage boost, while the +healing is doing it job nicely keeping me alive.
Personally i hate going full zerker on any class, except maybe mesmer.

Wow thanks! How come nobody knew about this? I can consistently beat anyone now, even in a 1v10 situation!

Rank 10 EBay is complaining about zerg size of rank 14 YB…
How are you guys rank 10 anyway? Your daytime presence and reset night were strong, but with that night crew its a miracle to me that you guys are rank 10.

souless.1935:

Could you two be any more obvious about teaming up against EB in EBG? Taking our north and south entrances on ol, yaks coming to the aid of nsp at vel, not attacking each other…sheesh if you two love birds are going to have date night at our OL at least take some breath mints first and freshen up your game enough to get in.

Fun times regardless

Enjoyed the firework? Were the quaggans not cute enough for you?

BTW YOU ARE ALL QUAGGAN MURDERERS!!!

lololol focus.

But I am sad. I just mystic forged The Bard few days ago, and its sad to see how useless focus is for ele.

To [One] guild.

LOL.

Talk kitten get hit?

Thanks for the bags on SBI BL today. Had a good time, I’m sure you did too.

Congratulations on picking on our commander rotation for the past 2 days, trying to get new commanders in there!

I know it must feel good, having two decent nights back to back, after how rough it was for you guys Sat-Tuesday.

But hey, nice numbers throwing a que at our guild again on someone who doesnt shot call hardly at all! :p

Oh well, make any excuses you want to make. You didn’t beat us once all night, no matter how many times you zoom hacked ac’s.

Not only was SBI not Q’d it wasn’t even close. We smoked you consistently with far fewer people and less bloodlust.

If you didn’t make such a big deal about talking kitten I wouldn’t bother with these kind of petty comments, but you’re just a petty guild who started stupid kitten and talked a bunch of kitten you can’t back up because you’re bad.

Keep it classy friends.

How youre acting right now is the exact opposite of classy…

or did i get the definition wrong?

So you want to accept their false advertising that there will be no support classes, play how you want?

Source?

Its quite clear based off the design of the game if you look at it. Every class is given heal and supportive skills, its purely based on choice to play support or dps. Also this round of changes towards more supportive is not limited to elementalist only, but most of the classes.

You clearly have the state of mind that every elementalist player posting issues here is inferior to you. Please stop. Those who can’t grasp the core of an elementalist has already moved on to other easier classes, rest that remained here keep hopes and intentions to improve a problematic elementalist profession.

The reason I react that way is because I’m constantly treated by other posters in the exact same way. I disagree so I’m a considered an idiot. And when after being nice and respectful for months, I finally snap and respond in kind, I get called on it.

Where were you when a certain warrior player called me a PvE loser that was too whiny to try roaming?

Can you say elementalist is not in a troubled state? Unlikely. It is the ONLY class not played in mlg after all.

My posts have obviously not been very clear (not sarcasm, but honestly) so I’ll summarize my view on the elementalist:

The elementalist is not perfectly fine in respect to some of the other professions. However, at least 50% of the posts on the elementalist forums exaggerate the problem. In many cases, there’s room for improvement on the player’s side and I don’t like asking for buffs to compensate for that. As for the damage/health gap, the issue lies more with the warriors being too strong than the elementalists being too weak. A full berserker warrior is as tough as a bunker ele and in my opinion, making warriors a bit more vulnerable would probably make their gameplay more interesting.

So to sum it up: yes we need buffs, but no, not every problem is ArenaNet’s fault. Happy now?

Sorry. No intentions to offend. Just your sig and tone of some posts irritated me a little. Ele as of right now is fine in many areas, I never disagree with that, as my personal experiences have proven that point. Its just that in other areas we could very much use the buffs and the overall mechanic improvement. Again sorry for the harsh tone in the previous post.

Just to clear things up. We don’t have permastealth, if we attack we get a debuff that makes it so we can’t restealth within a period of time. We don’t hit for 15k in PvP situations, unless you count naked level 1s. We have mobility, no mechanic defense. Meaning a Thief has to actively position them self to avoid damage, thus we have mobility. That’s the point. Just so anyone isn’t confused about what a Thief actually does

The debuff is less than 5 seconds.
I have done done duel with on my ele with 2 different thiefs in wvw. One backstab while the other one i believe is P/d. WIth the backstab one more than 50% of the fight he is in stealth, and everytime he pops out of it i lose at least 50% of my health. Several times i had him he simply pop shadow refuge and comes out full health again. How fun.
The P/D fight is less annoying, lots of teleports and hard to land any skill. Fortunately the condition cleaning shaved most of his damage off of me. btw, i dont see why people are complaining about condition removal for ele, i personally thing its just fine. Attune to water+evasive arcana+5 will get rid of 3 condition in less than 3 seconds. If thats not enough pop a earth armor and use ethereal renewal.

Why would you stand there and not attack when he drops shadow refuge? Use AoE attacks on it. He wont stand in the middle unless he’s stupid, so youll have to kind of guess where he is in it and hope you hit him.

Thief is designed pretty stupidly in this game. Worst design for a stealth class ever in any MMO I’ve ever played. In any decent game, stealth has to be used strategically and intelligently for an opening strike, and rarely in very few MMOs are you ever allowed to restealth while in combat. You have to break combat and run away if you want to restealth. And there are usually penalties when in stealth, not benefits like in this game. You usually have reduced movement speed in stealth, but stealth lasts until you first strike. And stealth breaks when you get damaged. That’s how it SHOULD be in this game. The way it’s designed here, isn’t fun for anyone except the person using and abusing it. It’s very high reward for no risk. There’s no intelligent play with it like in other games. You just fart out stealth whenever you want and if you screw up, restealth and try again till you get it right. Too much room for error and no penalties.

Who said i didnt try to force him out? Most smart thieves dont stay in shadow refuge for long.

Ok. Show me how well a warrior can cause chill on a group at 1200 range and I’ll yield.

superior sigil of ice. And it doesn’t even fade out after 60 secs or 15 uses :\

If you’re seriously suggesting that Sigil of Ice is better than Frozen Ground then you’re the one who’s delusional. Then again, you obviously think I was referring to the Frost Bow rather than the staff itself so you’re forgiven.

And how about those burrows in AC. Can a Ranger outdps a Frost Bow?

this must be some reference to PvE world, sorry I only WvW.
Get out of PvE, reality will teach you way better than anyone in this forum – me included – can ever do.

Ok, so now everything and everyone is suddenly limited to WvW only? No wait, reality is limited to WvW only. Very well, a WvW example then. Can a warrior AoE stun at 1200 range?

ARM.3912:

You are rattling off imaginary numbers for an imaginary situation, neither of which will ever happen. Is your point that you can imagine? Grats bro. I can imagine competent staff at Anet too, doesn’t mean it is going to happen.

Fine dude. Ask ArenaNet to triple the damage on our skills then. Doesn’t matter anyway because they won’t hit. Then again, you don’t even know how much damage the skills do because you never hit with them anyway. The reason I’m rattling numbers is to show that the fact that we deal no damage isn’t due to the numbers not being high enough. It’s because our skills don’t hit very often. Understand what I’m saying now, or do I have to use Dora the Explorer language for you?

Try to land them better then? I wont get into staff becuase i honestly dont think it should be used in small fights. It a larger fight we wont have to worry about not landing a skill, right?
In case of D/D, we have a root and a knockdown in earth, thats more than enough to land a fire grab(highest damage skill besides CE). Also, at this point most people are familiar with CE’s animation and will try to time dodge. A simple trick is to lighting flash behind them a 1 1/2 secondsish before it goes off, this works very well at messing up their timing. And please dont complain about not landing CE, honestly i never use it w/o lighting flash.

Wearing it while you work on your next set isn’t “nothing”.

I’m really not seeing a reason for favoritism for Celestial.

(what is the seventh piece you’re counting in there btw?)

Celestial was placed at a disadvantage in the first place, I mean, it does take 30 days to craft a full exotic set, what other stats combo take that long?
Im really hoping Anet could take the timegate off of charged quartz, but thats probably not happening given how easy quartz are to obtain.

But tbh it doesnt really matter. Right now to craft a ascended celestial dagger, ingots will take 8 days. Inscription takes 5. Assuming armor recipe is similar i dont really see this as a problem, given that quartz arent very expensive.(unless of course youre buying all the ascended materials)

I think Light and Medium armors both look very decent. As someone said its purely subjective.

But i do agree with the helm being a little bit… toilet like.

Yuna is that after taking OL tonight everyone really enjoyed the hours of bags you provided. It took SBI almost all day to take ONE keep thats not fully upgraded with unlimited resources and a nearly endless supply of people at their disposal all the time aimlessly walking into sup arrow cart fire over and over and over for hours. Not to count all the busted golems bolth Alphas and Omegas, and the 7? times that you actually got into inner and failed.

And an amazing job by our commander in EBG! Running very limited supplies and managed to hold it off for so long. Wasnt there when it fell, was in a guild TA run unfortunately

Actually I am one achievement away from Sunbringer title, and it was looking promising for a kill. The fact that its temporary and Anet took it away without notice will just kitten more people off.

Very disappointed that there’s not a single word from Anet about this. I mean come on, we waited on that shore for almost the entire night, hoping Anet would at the very least address this soon…

In this match-up thread I see all this come out and play stuff. lol When we do come out and play SBI zerg balls need to number in the 80-100 range. We have wiped your big guilds up and down the maps constantly. Your answer? The funny part about it is your server wouldn’t hold a candle to servers with equal numbers. Even completely outnumbering an opposing server you get wiped. How can you brag about that? Sorry but it seems to me SBI will fall once again when you realize your numbers don’t mean anything when you are teamed against skilled servers with equal numbers. Here is a simple little vid to prove a point. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=VXvW1Jtf0Sk or maybe another. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=GasPzNqI4nw Lol you say you want SoR or JQ? good luck.

HI! When is [One] usually active in WvW? You guys are amazing and have won countless fights against larger groups. I would love to run with you guys.

Actually i have noticed this and this is what we see as YB.

We see a decently sized SBI group and decide to defend/siege a tower/keep, if we managed to defend, 2 mins later a group twice the size will come back and wipe us. Same as attacking any structures, beat you guys back once, more seems to just spawn out of no where.

Yeah one would think lighting wouldnt be affected by gravity at all….

100b is burst, meteor shower alone is not. I usually die before the meteor shower effect ends…

Not anyone but Anet’s fault really, they decided on league and mass transfer happened. All the WvW match ups recently have been extremely unpleasant to play in. Population disparity is simply too huge. There are no more defense/strategy, its all a pvdoor/zergfest now.

Eh my ele just melt in less than 5 second. Unfortunately i like to capture the objectives rather than get into a fight, so im often caught in situations without any support.

I am confused, why dont they just give us the option to hide it? Everyone could hide helm gloves or backpiece..

Does steam portal counts? I have done 6 portals in 10 mins yet nothing. Please address this as it is the only thing im lacking for 17/17

Same here, cannot create a new guardian.

Moa is incredibly easy to dodge, miss or blocked. Go watch a video on the casting animation and avoid the elite, simple as that. It’s definitely not an IWIN button as if we miss it we would waste a elite, what other elite skills are like that? You get caught by a mesmer with moa you deserve that 10 second of running-around-like-idiot-while-we-busrt-you-down.
