Guild Wars 2

Buy a commander title run PVE events. Some peopel will report you for your name. Get kicked out of the game. Logged back in and needed to change my name. (true story).

I have a commander title as i play WvWvW alot. But sometimes i need to make some gold because WvWvW is not cheap. So i jump in the PVE events and sometimes i have my commander title on. Not to show of but when we have guildies that not know where the event is. Its just simple for them to look for the commander title. Also for random people to.

Now the problem is. The moment i put my title on. You get messages from other players that i NEED to play WvWvW and need to get out of the PVE content or that i m just showing my e-kitten. This is can handle and i just simple ignore them but yesterday i had a complete guild telling me that i NEED to do WvWvW as people there need me (While on TeamSpeak chatting to other commanders that they don’t need me at all.). Still not a big problem. But all of the sudden doring the event i got kicked out of the game because my name was inappropriate (using that name the moment gw2 launched).
Well now its start to get a problem. Because everybody know coming up with a name is the hardest part of the game.

But my question to the community is. What do you feel when you see a commander in PVE?

Can’t FS drop to the lowest tier and fight its way backup. Every battle i have we are alway’s outnumberd by alot. Even on primetime we have outman buff. We don’t lose fights because we are bad, we lose fights because we are outnumberd.
Other then that great fights against DE not so great against the french. Atleast DE is using some tactics while the french just mega zerg.

Can we have numbers from each borderland with how many players are in. And not just your own server but also the enemy. Because i alway’s have the feeling that i m outnumberd.
I play on FS server and we keep losing every week and for my feeling its not that we are outplayed but just outnumberd and i wanna know if this is true.

i like the shield more then everything else.
I play a defensive guardian.

torch: Well you will burn them anyway and it will not provide any boons.

focus: skill #4 is nice and the healing also but as a defensive guardian i allready have 100% uptime from regen. So only dmg bonus, Skill #5 is nice because it will block attacks and will do dmg after 4 sec if not all the blocks are uses (3 free block i think it was)

Shield: #4 same as focus #4 will do some dmg and give you and allies infront of you protection. Skill #5 is very nice. Block range attacks, pushback and heal! (it heals me around 2300hp if i rememberd correctly.) And with traits it adds 90 extra thoughness

Well i do hope that Gandara gets the kitten kicked so we can fight again for another week against you. Not because i don’t like you but you are a worthy and honorable enemy.
FR on the other just keep pressing ALT+F4 when you put them down. Also i didn’t see some tactics on FR side besides the standaard zerg groups and even then they aren’t that good. I think FR is winning against FS because they have more manpower. Because when we face them with 20vs40 we still win.

Also little tip for FR:
- Class canon build won’t do damage when your down. You guy’s seem to have alot of glass canon build that keep shooting my wall of reflection

Well i don’t mind portals its a part of the game and has some awesome battle moments.
The part i do hate is that you need to search the complete keep/garrison or what ever to find a mesmer because they make your defence weapons useless.

So the only fix i like to see is that you can’t place portals in a keep/tower/garrison.

Well the simple solution is don’t retreat. Stand and fight and be aggresive (this works better then you expect).

When i run with my guild (10-15 members) and we face a zerg. We almost never retreat but charge them head on because most of them will retreat because they are afraid of dying.

Well at first i was playing a offence guardian build and i would die often. Really starting to hate the guardian. But then i switched my role to keeping the Commander alive (like a personal guard). And my god. Yeah i don’t have big damaging numbers like others but i m alway’s the last one standing on my feet.
Even fighting against a Thief and veteran i will win the fight with 80% of my hp pool.

And the fun you can have with a guardian in WvWvW is amazing. Trait so you can ground target wall of reflection. Find the enemy guardian, Put wall of reflection in front of him and his teammates will think is that wall of reflection from there guardian, roll back and enjoy the high numbers you see

Is retaliation working when lets say a ranger put down his AOE attack? So if i stand inside it and pop retaliation will the ranger get damage?

Glass cannons are easy. Even more as you are a guardian.
Just fought a glass cannon thief and a veteran (i know bad spot to fight).
Won the fight easy with my hp the hole fight above 50%.

Wall of reflection is fun when a thief puts unload on you. Same as retaliation. Just pure fun when you see a enemy hitting it self. And as a bunker build guardian your hp will be back up in a couple of seconds.

Other then that when you are defending a tower/keep and you see that the enemy is building a treb/cat or whatever our tactic here is to rush in all at once. With the guardians on the front to distract and take the first hits while the glass canon build come in later to put everyone down.

If you use your heavy tanking players right you can win most fight. We even won vs a zerg of 30 while we were only with 10 players and 5 of them heavy tanking build.

p.s.
Did you see that video of that warrior one shotting people with his uber glass canon build?
Well i encounterd one. And there isn’t anything funnier then when he is about to shoot to put wall of reflection up and see him shoot his self + 5 other to dead with one shot.

Giving bonus to server that win = no
Give bonus to players that take over a garrison/keep = yes

Players will be joining the winning servers if the bonus is big enough. We allready seen it @ FS server.

Well this biggest problem FS has is that there is only one good commander that knows what he is doing.

@ArcTheFallen

Love the armor you got there. Very knight like but what is it?

Yesterday i completed all 3 paths of CM and didn’t find a new bug.
And yes the part that mobs will attack you because you have high toughness value is nice. (playing a guardian)
Just jump in the middle of mobs with a ranger and necro pets beside me and a warrior i can out heal 25 stacks of bleed and poison.

Well i have a guardian myself and most of the time run dungeons with guildies sometime with pugs depends on if the guildies want to do a dungeon.

When i run with the guildies they are alway’s amazing on how much damage i can get without landing on my but and crying for help to get revived. (When i do dungeons with a ranger and a pet necro i won’t die at all). So yeah i got an unkillable build but there is one problem with it. When there aren’t any pets or others close by i tend to die allot faster because i can’t heal myself that much on my own.

Yesterday i had an awesome group of players doing AC dungeon. (me the guardian, thief, engineer, necro and elementist). The biggest reason this group was that good because every one knew there strengst and weakness.

The biggest problem i see when running pugs with light armor classes is that they don’t know there weakness so they die often. Or they don’t know what abilities other proffessions have.

Example: in CMS you got allot of hard shooting mobs that will even do more damage if you move. As a guardian i try to stay before my team so i can use my shield bubble, and wall of reflection yets sometimes i see other players running before and getting killed.

So in my opinion if you play an heavy armor proffession you can make a big mistake with out dying (most of the time) yet with a light armor proffession you can not (also most of the time).
So a bad player can do good on a warrior/guardian yet a bad player on a necro/elem will suck badly.

Well i m running a 0/20/30/20/0 build with knights armor (power/prec/thoug)
I can easly take on a veteran 4 levels higher then me (i m only lvl74 at this moment) without loosing health (end of the fight still above 95% of my health)
I don’t stack healing power because it scale badly.
I try to put my precision as high as i can but don’t put to many in crit damage

With this build and running with a mace/focus i can take on lots of enemys and heal my teammates. Everything you do will heal you

Well i agree with you.
Even the warrior has a block abilitie with his shield but guardians don’t. Little bit strange.
Now i m running with the mace/focus because of awesome defence abilities but would rather have mace/shield.
So please Anet swap the #5 skills.

Well i use most of the time these type of sigils while i m leveling my guardian because you have 3 types (5, 7 10) so a 250-350 extra stat in whatever your sigil was.

In dungeons i don’t use them because most of the time you will get downed at some point, There are not enough mobs to kill to use its full potential.

Still loving it in WvWvW when you walk in a valley and you encounter a zerg just set it up and watch them die.
