Guild Wars 2

Retaliation is a moot point nowadays. It has been adjusted too far on the other side that even if you use it the opposing enemy either ignores it or keeps going because they can overcome the mirror damage.

Remove it already.

The problem that I have is really this.

You should not have to, or be forced to re-roll an alt to play the game. Also just because we are one of the, maybe only, classes to be balanced doesn’t mean we have to suck it up either and wait it out. This is why people leave the game. And it is already self evident that some server WvW populations are in the decline because of lop sided match ups and lack of attention paid to it by Arena Net.

The separation between WvW and PvE is only getting wider and there is only so much one can do to make it fun. Banging one’s head against a brick wall I’d wager most of us can only take so much of…

Kasei.8726:

Screw AH, I’m pro. I solo roam EB traitless with a only a shield and can win 2v1s vs every class. No runes either, because runes are for losers.

This made me giggle. Not related to this game though but back pre-ToA DaOC a few of us used to roam wearing nothing but our birthday suit and in RvR. Some times determination or skill can overcome just about anything.

Or maybe it was just the extra time we had to deal damage while the other side was in shock going WTF!

Outside the changes to retaliation do you honestly thing it is a game breaker now or silly? Speaking from a WvW point of view I don’t see it stopping anyone anymore. From a stealth point of view they appear to just bounce in and out of it dancing around it and waiting and Zergs just keep on coming like the Jethro Tull song Locomotive Breath.

Heck, now that I think about it the song meaning seems to match the direction of our class is heading: “impending and unavoidable train wreck”

I’m not even sure if a healing type build will work now to be honest. Then again, I’ve only run out in limited runs this afternoon and I’ve been in my DPS gear solo. Also, DPS and solo this week on Ebay is a bad idea. At least for me because of the stupid server match up this week and Zerg mindset of the other servers.

I only say this because others may not know you and your guild are one of EBay’s main parties that consistently roam and fight regardless of numbers. If you are seeing this has a issue chances are high it is one and probably make it a bad day for others.

I don’t get what the heck is up with the development team and WvW. Maybe it isn’t all their fault anyway because people tend to ball up and run together. Just easier and quicker and I’m not sure they can bust it up. Heck, we couldn’t do this back in DaOC retail. Yeah, we had roaming parties of 8 with CC and Healers and what not. But at the end of the day zerging parties still did this quicker and stealth still controlled the main gates.

In this game, I’m not sure what we are doing anymore. Then factor in the jump puzzles and I really scratch my head has to why we are even all out there anyway. Not like any of the PvE skins and loot drops for us anyway.

I might as well has go back to my console game and just play something like Dust 415

Jax.5261:

Anyway this is the first stable internet connection I’ve found at this stupid hospital and I only wish I were here to receive peck implants.

When I first read this I actually thought you said a different sort of implants!!!!!! My apologies!

Side note – wish you well and a speeding recovery or escape!

Rigel, I have others; trust me

One would think since having played since early head start I’d catch on by now. But no, not so much

Rigel.3092:

This is a PvE build or a WvW build?

I have serious reservations concerning the use of Save Yourself, even at the beginning of a battle because in the heat of a battle, especially running against spike hammers and necro heavy zergs, one untimely use of Save Yourself without having Contemplation of Purity or some such other conditions cleanser used right after will simply melt your Guardian to the ground in a heartbeat, bet.

Word. I actually had this happen to me last night. I wasn’t sure what I did or was thinking but I charged in and hit Save Yourself. I recall thinking to myself after.

“That was rather stupid” /palmToforehead

P.E.T.A does not approve the use of random NPC animals such as owls, raccoons, rabbits, or any other fury or feathered creature for teleportation. Furthermore, if you are in such a bind whereas you need said creature to escape, well, P.E.T.A requests you to just….

SUCK IT UP and DIE!

;)

GSSBlunaspike.4153:

how you play is up to you.

I will say though if we start comparing numbers then that’s different..

Let’s not. Maybe I’m wrong but I’d like this not to turn into that other thread about zerker this or that gear. I am still one, maybe the few, that really don’t care about what is best or mandatory or damage meters. Leave that to the other game.

This game, let us just play what feels good for once. And if the player can make it work, then all the more power to him or her. Please note I do not mean to imply you are…just figured I’d cast a vote to say NO

All of our tools / weapons, are viable at some point in time. Some are just the obvious go-to for a variety of reasons. However, shield? It can be, at times, EPIC.

In fact, you soon learn who the skilled players are vs. those that are part of the endless lemming zerg. How is that you ask? Well, shield 5 is amazing. And when people don’t pay attention or use some form of stability, well, bad things happen. It is almost has fun as hammer 4 aka Banish.

Nike.2631:

What is it about evil guardians that demands all pics be taken in terrible lighting ?

Lol. No idea why I’m laughing at this but I found this really funny.

Christos de Soufre.3802:

Well when you put it that way, sure.

Lol. I like the honesty.

Yup Foofad. However, we have this wonderful thing called offensive and defensive magic /rollseyes

Don’t get me wrong I know what I said and read your reply. Makes sense. However, the whole thing goes out the door once you add that wonderful ‘magic’ layer

Herein lies one of the biggest issues I have with this game. For any game really that has a light armor thief / stealth type class.

" P/D Thief ", light armor class using a dagger and pistol thinking they should be able to take down another class using heavy armor, great sword, insert other weapon of choice, or shield.

Just mind boggling if you want a honest opinion.

Christos de Soufre.3802:

I’m reactivating it as I post this. No worrehs.

Edit: Video is back up.

Ok, just finished it. Not sure of your age but something hit me while listening to your video oddly enough towards the end. If you are still in college or considering it, or starting, or maybe going back Consider taking a aptitude test, in fact, take a couple. Point being if you like to talk, discuss, and teach, maybe being a teacher is right for you? I honestly mean that in a good way because I think teen(s) could use someone who actually cares and can deliver. With that out of the way…

The build has always been my go to. I’ve tried AH and DPS but always come back to this build because at the end of the day it offers comfort. If you are a skilled player then I think the AH and DPS builds offer speed. Healing lends to a supporting role whereas you are not great at one thing but can offer a lot to win the day. And when that moment hits the game is just 10 times more fun then when I get a solo kill.

You covered armor and why. You covered accessories and why. Traits and why. When to change and why. In fact, you also explained why using a hammer is better when you have your GS out all the time. I think you pretty much covered everything. I know you mentioned food but not about the sharpening stone / maint. oil? If there are food options outside mango pie that could be cool to talk about or blub it in your text box?

Have a good day and thanks for sharing / taking time.

Good thing this game doesn’t have:

1. DPS meters
2. Inspect feature
3. Gear Score

What it does have:

1. Human factor
2. Emotions

Figured I’d throw that out there

Video removed because it is too long!!!!!!!

Math is what it is but depending on what the general thought process is, maybe take some of the work done by whomever (sorry, forgot person(s)) surrounding the attributes which work together. There are the standard three I thought which I probably have wrong like Critical damage, Critical chance, and power? Or was it precision. Anyway – I could be totally off mark but the idea is to discuss a bit about the attributes and how they compliment one another.

And just like anything in life too much of one thing is probably bad, yeah? Moreover, it would be cool to maybe take a look at dps has it relates to other things such as healing power and armor.

I usually call in for air strikes. Nothing like a pair of F-15’s dropping a few B-61’s to ruin their day and any future day for that matter.

Seriously though – out last them and wait for help to arrive. Usually works for me. Good players will either catch on and leave or wait for me to make a mistake (which happens) and get a goodie bag.

Doubt it. Look at some of the changes since release to our class or any others for that matter. Also note I said Arena’s and the issue Blizzard has to deal with then ask why they made the change so that 2v2 no longer got the gladiator title or mounts? They couldn’t balance it. They still can’t balance R/M/P for Pete’s sake in 3’s.

The only way they can balance this game in regards to arena type play is to give everyone rubber band guns. Anything else won’t cut it. Just one mans opinion mind you.

Think I just re-read your WvW video and found it – ascended gear with vitality.

Oddly enough I can get the ascended stuff with badges and laurels + ecto’s but may see what it feels like using exotics first. Armor seems a bit high the way I have it configured at 3,213 but healing is lower at 696. Crit damage at 44% with crit chance at 16.6%.

Back to the drawing board and still like your videos

stunningstyles.7054:

Yes this I def NOT a wvw build…if u wanna see my wvw build checkout http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wb6eZ8md6Ig&feature=c4-overview&list=UUTR1RaHwL3UEx4DB6SzoiBQ...the tpvp build doesn’t really work in wvw because it doesn’t take advantage of the opportunity for mixed gear..in tpvp the stats u can get are very limited so it is based off those limited stats

Out of curiosity what sort of upgrades are you using for WvW? I’ve been looking at this since I have a Cleric’s set (minus Lysaa runes) and it looks like you can get 3,000 to 3,100 armor and close to 800 healing. I’ve been tossing around sapphire or ruby which is changing things around a bit has I try and balance the crit chance and crit damage.

Finding a balance or comfort level I should say that is right for ones play style is a bit tricky. At the moment I find myself more comfortable using the healaway build here on the forums. I’ve gone full zerker DPS and don’t enjoy it much in WvW. I’ve mixed the two together going the route of AH using knights and others but still not 100% comfortable but it is better than my zerker DPS set.

I like the idea of armor around 3,100 and healing around 900 which is what I’m working on because I’m usually solo or tri being the only non-stealth class. The other two are stealths…

Welcome to Blizzard Season 1 Arena’s…and S2, S3, 4, 5, 6, 7…..to present day.

I’ve yet to see any developer or publisher balance a PvP game when there is PvE content. Arena Net is no different. They say the road to hell is paved with good intent too…

It’s a trap!

I’ve always wanted to use that tag line….maybe this is the right spot.

Sword/Torch viable for leveling a Guardian?

Yes. You can level a Guardian with any weapon and they are “ALL” viable. In fact, it is highly recommended to level all of them anyway to unlock all skills that way they are available for use when you find something that fits your play style.

Some cases you may want burst, others CC, and yet again others to collect has many has you can and kill them slowly…

Vet tip here: You will more than likely carry all of the weapons in your bag anyway.

Might as well get used to the weight you will carry now

Not sure about this game but back in 2001 we did it in DaOC /rollseyes.

Yeah, those late night relic raids of 300 or more people I never once had a issue with lag. Even with all the stupid CC breaking Thanes and their hammers my rig never lagged like it does in this game. And this isn’t a issue of eye candy either because that game had just has many spell effects going on regardless of which side you played.

Why a graphic engine in today’s age lags like this really befuddles me. Developers and/or publishers really should pay attention to the possible concurrent users globally and on the same map and/or space. It is like we are taking a stride forward then 2 backward

Yes, they do play actually. How many though is another story. How do I know this? Because since the server resets this past Friday I’ve run into the same Arena Net developer playing on the opposing side. SBI if I recall correctly not that it matters. Anyway, point is – they do play. And he or she wasn’t just stopping by to shoot the breeze has they actually stayed in the map (EB) for hours. Friday and Saturday night.

Now, what does this have to do with you, the OP’s, comment? I don’t really know other than they play. I think the bigger issue is if they actually test anything before they release it? Seems this patch has caused several issues since release sadly. I’ve heard in game, and in various forums things like:

1. Slow client load when switching zones
2. No badges for WvWvW JP’s
3. Culling

Just to name a few. And…if you look at how many patches have been applied since the release you have to give credit to the team since they are fixing everything has fast has they can…

ArtemisEntreri.4138:

This is what I run in WvW for group support in a zerg (minus ascended items). When the bodies start dropping, that endurance bar barely ever drains.

2477 attack, 21% crit, 2914 armor (SiN), 17.6k health, 2210 healing power while using mace, and 60% boon duration.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fUAQNApeWlcgyCXFyJEm4ESmiVCBxeoRfUHdpIheIA-jkCB4NCiEDQUDg0HApRFRjtsNsVXRr8KIqZER1KbYCB8dMA-w

Interesting build and I note you said when you are with a group. Solo roamer and I doubt you could kill a bunny rabbit (although that would probably make PETA very happy

Entropy.4732:

Finally I can post my own Evil Guardian. Thank you guys for all the stellar examples.

Meet her dark majesty “Lady of Tears”. She’s the baddest of the bad. Oh yes she is.

By the way, nice dye and set up. It does look nice.

Entropy.4732:

Something just doesn’t seem right wearing a Thong and heavy armor…

Which again raises the question – wth do they intend to do with the already broke puzzle. There is now, officially, ZERO reason to go in there…and it was already that bad to begin with.

Either make it have risk and reward or just gut it already. If you don’t know how go play on any of the private DaOC servers, enter Darkness Falls, and learn for Pete’s Sake!

It isn’t a nerf, probably a bug or oversight. In fact, I ran it yesterday and thought the same thing. Great, here we go again with the company messing with PvP when I didn’t get them. Then I thought to myself that maybe they went into the wallet but didn’t display (which while a silly bug we’d still get them). I ran out of time to do a wallet check before, and after run with the other JP’s out in the WvW area.

“IF” this is intended then this instance / JP is worthless and should be removed. They have already nerfed and/or adjusted it so that it is no longer fun. It is a instance (good or bad, no matter), removed the placement of siege, and pretty much left unattended since beta (meaning there is nothing in there). It is really nothing more than a long run to a chest.

Remove it. You know you want to. PvE is winning the content push anyway whereas WvW gets Jack. And if you really think on it with nothing in there nor badges you have a couple traps in there in which you can do what? Grief people until they leave?

What do you accomplish by that when they can buy siege off the TP anyway. Point being, there isn’t any reason for this to exist now when you gain nothing. NO faster exp, No increase in T6 or other mats. No gain on the battlefield.

Poo!

I feel like I was up late one night and this is a infomercial on the tele… You are very excited or excitable Not that that is a bad thing

One thing I’ve noticed when running a healing build roaming in a duo or trio out in the real world (WvWvW) is it works the first or second time. However, when you run into the same group or you get a reputation, they just ignore you and focus fire on your DPS / other group members. Or, if you are in a zerg then it is just the opposite and the burst classes target you and there is no amount of healing that can withstand multiple threads of DPS

I’m hoping the thread will gain some traction and see what everyone things, tweaks, thoughts, etc. I am coming only from a Cleric & healing point of view who runs solo or with 2 others and this is what typically happens to me.

Amins.3710:

foofad.5162:

That’s a little extreme. What do you take issue with?

1) Skill Lag. There is ~zero~ reason for this in today’s environment.

2) Preaching a player vs player focused game: Clearly it is not as they just hired 4x’s thier current “Living World” (PVE) development team while WvW / PvP only see updates every 2-3 months (where pve see’s full content + updates every month, sometimes twice).

3) Uselessness of traits, among ALL classes, as “fillers” to make the appearance of diversity among builds…. where we all know this is not the case.

4) Inability to bring the same content into WvW: Legendaries, titles, progress…. etc. Contrary to belief, there has to be some kind of non-useless carrot.

5) Uselessness of the items we recieve in WvW… badges… really? do I REALLY need 4,000 badges sitting in my bank?

6) Certain classes are so overly broken… luckily the meta doesn’t even grasp it yet, because once they do, group wvw is going to be ridiculously lopsided w/ just a select few classes….

Guardian Specific:

1) The fact that IF you truely want to go out and roam (solo) when there is any decent population on the opposing servers you either 1) have to equip GS + S/F w/ JI and then either Centaur Runes/SY/Retreat for any kind of swiftness. ON top of that, we have ZERO “snaring” ability…. take into consideration every other class does not have to spec like this just to go out and roam (minus Necro, they’re still as horrible at it as us); Or 2) eat it when 3+ see you, eat it when 2 players of equal skill see it, eat it if you’re not tower hugging.

2) Lack of any reliably applicable Chill/Cripple if you did want to deviate from scenario #1 above.

3) Pigeon holed into 2 tree’s unless you run scenario 1 above… if you’re not tanking up, you have to have mobility/escapability… other classes ~still~ have this one attribute built into 90% of their weapons, not just 2 (GS / S).

4) Our Burst DPS is a very Gimmicky build and severely telegraphed.

….. Just to name a few issues. The list is ENORMOUS.

I seem to recall playing a game back in 2001 that didn’t have has bad of skill lag like this graphic engine Even when taking relics and the area had over 300 people in the area swinging and casting like mad men

Also agree 100% in the PvE vs. WvW content disparity. It really is a game breaking design at the moment and gets compounded with bi-weekly content updates. Really no excuse for it.

So in video I think you listed the build has:

10 Rad (IV)
30 Val (VI, V, and XI)
10 Hon (II)
20 Virt (II, IX)

But I’m confused (which is easy to do honestly). I am currently running:

10 Zeal (II)
30 Val (VI, IV, and XI)
30 Hon (II, VIII, and XI)

Armor I’m using is a mix of Soliders and Berserker with all exotic accessories and Citadel runes. It does a lot of DPS when you hit (it is a learning thing honestly for me) but I am finding solo play with it a bit more difficult (not a bad thing) compared to my healing set up in clerics. So figured I’d ask what does the trait line up you list out provide? I’m missing something I think because when I switch out traits DPS falls off the face of the earth on the buildcraft tool.

I’m toying with trying to mix a overall build with decent +healing and armor of 3000 yet able to kill someone solo. Exotics only make it rather interesting but I have a full set of Knights and Clerics to pull from with 3 soldiers/invaders and 3 berserker

Current EB issues have nothing to do with Rekz and VS leaving. No idea why people keep tossing that out there /boggle

Those that have played on EB since launch have seen this before. It ebbs and flows and today is no different than previous days. There will always be the sound of white noise regardless of how high the mountain you are.

Amins.3710:

8/1 New Vid: Zerg Tank – Bust’n Zergs

8/1 New Vid: Zerg Tank – Defending Durios

Zerg Tank Build

Though, I’m considering swaping out 2 things in this build:

1) Changing Purity to Defenders Flame
2) Changing Pack Runes to Hoelbrak

Ty for sharing. Wish more of what is left of the regulars in WvWvW (same server has you) would see this video here of you and your guild. SBI and CD really only have the numbers. In each scene you guys busted through and pushed them out. Yet last night on multiple occasions our zerg scattered like roaches when a light goes on leaving those standing to fight die.

Amins.3710:

Blasino.3128:

As always amazing vid and gameplay. Why does the build have two exotic trinkets?

Because I don’t pve /wrists

I’m just a couple daily’s from my last Celestial Accessory… then I have to figure out how to get a back piece w/o doing pve…

This right here is one of the things that is game breaking in my opinion. The whole PvE content release and new textures always leave out those who only do WvW. I am actually with you in the fact I’m sitting on over 100 laurels and refusing to spend them since they are like gold…

Yet they fall out of the sky like skittles in the fractals (granted, higher ones).

WvWvW Public Service Announcement.

Please stop using the local critter population to escape or catch up to people on the battlefield. Here at PETA we have recently received a TEN FOLD increase in complaints by the local town people about this.

Season 1 + Paladin = Blizzard awakening to the fact they can’t balance a PvP game around one designed only for PvE. To make matters worse and not wanting to solely have that issue to deal with every expansion pack or other related content introduced further stat creep. Now you have stats so high one is doing a zillion DPS per second because they can’t fix it. Itemization is so crazy and high right now if they shrink it they can’t solo previous content for achievements or item transmutation without bringing 40 people.

Anyway – back on topic. I’ll run a zerker/soldier armor and accessorie DPS build first around 10/0/30/30/0 trait mix. I run the smaller solo/group of 3 healaway build but don’t think it is that fast at dps due to heal oriented stats So unless I need it I’ll try the DPS first and go from there.

Or…just look at the healaway thread and adapt what suits your play style.

When I run Cleric’s using only exotic gear I’m pushing well near 1400 in healing power. Maybe ask the experts but I think having healing power that high allows one to mix and match other pieces of armor and/or trinkets (maybe even food) to bump other stats or increase dps.

Look, we are not the developers let alone designers. However, we are people, who play for fun, and actually provide a source of income so they can continue doing what they do. Design stuff and release content. If the income dries up then, well, has the mightly Led Zeppelin once sang about…. “When the Levee Breaks”

Anyway, the game has a lot going for it which is good. You can, to some degree, take a break, return, and pick back up. However, for other things there is a pretty hefty grind. For gold, for precursors, for the fancy armor. If you happen to be on break while the short term content comes out, well, your hosed. So there is this to think about. Then there is the whole ascended debate which regardless of which side humpty dumpty is on, there was a major thread in the general forums with thousands of thousands of posts most of which disliked the whole idea (regardless if the intent was to always release). Most had the mindset (right or wrong) that exotic was it outside skins or textures.

For me, the game and/or content moves too quickly. While I log on daily I don’t really keep up with the content Jones so miss things. Then when I look, read, hear, or see something it usually is too late. My issue, my lack of time management, but other things are usually more fun and/or interesting. Catch 22 and I’m not so sure the developers can “FIX” that.

What “I” think to do maybe isn’t something they have planned or already thought about it and said, er, no. Me, it is bridge the gap in regards to loot tables for PvE and WvW. If players don’t visit the PvE side of the house (fracs for example) or living story thsoe skins or chances of precursors should fall over to WvW kills be it player, npc, chest, or random mob. Furthermore, I would expand upon the WvW jump puzzles to increase both the risk and reward to those engaging in it. To include things like champions, veterans, random patrolling mobs, more traps, and things that increase the rewards or modifiers for entering. Ties back to keep control, fighting, and overall hide and seek vs. thrill.

In summary many of us have seen, heard, or read the 80 things to do at 80. Until all 80 are done then there is still plenty to do. But we also know at least one or two people who have left the game due to various reasons. It isn’t dead or dieing but it is Arena Nets to loose.

Just so you know I was joking, I’d rather eat a cactus than be in a guild with you.

Everything you said in the OP was bs.

This is not about me. This is about helping the community. I don’t teach Guardian anyway. As soon as a competent Guardian becomes trust worthy enough to be the head teacher and allow the guild to be self-maintaining, I’d leave the guild.

Though if this is your general attitude, I don’t think you would be a very good teacher in the first place, good day.

I think this is the pot calling the kettle out but to each his or her own.

Point being, this is what the forums are for. In this sub forum it would be all things relating to the Guardian. There are some stickies and discussions already going on. In fact, maybe it would be a better idea to discuss this here rather than in-game wherehas only the guild members would see. “IF” they would see actually because they may or may not be online when the so-called lesson is going on.

You probably lost 99.9% of interest once you listed your criteria for teaching anyway. Who is to say hours played or age is the defacto standard by which to judge? Moreover, they could have played since first round of head start, rolled a guardian, and only played dress-up Barbie yet have more hours logged than anyone else? Furthermore, they could also max out every character slot, reached max level, and never set foot outside Lions Arch…

Not that you asked, well, actually; you did because you posted. My vote would be to do it here like it already has been done. There are probably 6 to 12 active posters discussing builds and theory crafting on various things. Heck, look at one recently talking about Celestial armor.

Good luck I guess but my vote is to keep it where for the masses.

Well, no gear treadmill and no sort of progression, many people like the way it is now (explore and redo stuff), but many others don’t.

There is a gear treadmill. There is also a gold treadmill and even more.

Ascended gear is a treadmill and it does make a difference. Now there is new armor that tweaks stats yet again which means yet another treadmill. And if you think taking a break and coming back puts you at a equal footing, it does.

Content is changing pretty quickly and if you take a break, ignore it, or are slower; well, you just missed out on something.

Not saying it is good or bad, just saying it is what it is and there are treadmills in this game.

No… I think maybe you don’t understand what a treadmill is in the usage case of “gear treadmill.”

“Gold treadmill” makes absolutely no sense, it is in effect an utterance void of meaning.

Oh? Enlighten me.

Ruins & Briar – holy loot bags Amins! Inventory full!!!!!

You guys set up a good choke point and CD just kept trying thinking numbers would win. Not sure how you guys feel but I’ll be glad once this week is over although I’m not really sure what happened to all of our players.

Nice video and thank you for sharing.

Leveling it probably doesn’t matter much to be honest. Use whatever is fun or yields the least amount of downtime. What you SHOULD do though is make sure to use them all to learn all skills. That way when there is a time to use x weapon you will have everything unlocked.

Viable though? Yeah, it is. PvE and PvP. Best? Subjective and I won’t go down that road.

I’ve always said this. You can’t balance a PvE game with a PvP game. Never works. Never has, never will. Look back to any MMO or game like this that tried and they all fail. DaOC retail vs. Trials of Atlance is a prime example whereas a PvP game broke to hellnback because of PvE content. Then look at WoW and their mess surrounding arena’s. Season 1 through today constant changes to class mechanics because a talent designed for PvE gives a unfair advantage when used in PvP (bg or arena). Such as Hand of Protection to name just one season ending example…
