Lord needs to be buffed imo, made like a stronghold champion.
How about just making new maps, or bringing back the old ones. Deathmatch, with maybe diffrent areas to spawn so that you can’t be farmed in the ONE spawn. Escorting an NPC/Goods while the enemy team tries to kill it. I don’t know but more map diversity would be better, not fixing an old map.
Your virtue removes 3 conditions on activation,
wrong, the DH version only removes condis when it lands, it gets interrupted WAY too often and goes on full cooldown without any condis removed or heals.
Wasn’t talking about the DH version, was talking about core medi guard
As someone pointed out above, if someone playing a non-meta build is put on your team, that means they’ve somehow managed to convince the game they’re as good on it as you are on your meta class. Meaning back off and let people run what they want.
If they get put on the enemy team, well, you’ve nothing to complain about now do you?
Sincerely,
A warrior who’s killed a great many reapers, druids, and scrappers this season.
You do you man, you do you. We are only as happy as we allow ourselves to be.
Your virtue removes 3 conditions on activation, your smite condition removes two, and can critically hit. You will most likely also be using the trait that smites conditions on a heal. Contemplation of purity is a stun breaker, and uncorrupts all conditions on you into boons. Your math is silly, trying to look at it like it’s some play, and the actors have to play their parts. Because when it comes down to it from blocks, to evades, to cleansing to sklll involved I am sure a medi guard can still prove to be a tough fight even for condi reaper. Is it viable? No idea, maybe it is, maybe it isn’t noone dared to try so far, cause they all want to believe only DH works.
Sometimes, just sometimes it is okay to think outside the box into the realm of possibility. That’s something math can never answer.
minion master reaper ? ruby ?
but how ?i thought the minions get killed pretty quickly.
Actually I don’t have HOT on that account either so was MM core necro.
Deathnova is really handy in those instances even if they die, they spawn unblockable poison fields at their location of death. And since poison stacks in intensity now… well yes. But no they don’t die THAT easily.
I don’t understand peoples needs to say omg I quit, and never returnnnnn. Like spvp ruined the whole thing for you? What are you losing really, so you don’t get some pretty pixels on your back big deal. For the shiney gem next to your name? Unranked can be fun to pvp in to ya know. Just saying
I started late last season from a hiatus, and got to sapphire exclusively solo queuing. This season I’ve consecutively got to ruby on my main, and alts. Trying for diamond but at the same time I am trying to unlock some elite specs on some of my toons while also wanting traveler gear so I will have to pve some (gasp!) Once I hit ruby I kinda just shrugged but yes was exclusively solo que.
Nothing to see here people, move along, ain’t nothing we haven’t seen before. xD
Only one I feel sorry for in that matchup honestly is the Rev.
I don’t think it’s 100%, and core medi guard was a beast against condi necs, smite conditions anyone? xD But most everyone only prefers DH. That said if a DH catches you with his spear o’ JOOSTICE, and the nec has no lifeforce it’s gg. But those are just variables. Chaos theory, and all that jazz.
Awww… I got to ruby as a core necro
Pistol /Shield Engi though gets destroyed by necro sadly, which sucks cause it’s my favorite weapon set :p It’s good against everything but necs imo but no I do not go P/s engi in ranked.
Wonky build I’ve seen run into though was burn guardian. Which is silly against reapers since just about every reaper, and his mom has unblockable marks or carry warhorn. Or the passive trait that returns conditions….etc…etc…
(edited by Crimson Shi.5047)
It just depends imo on class composition. After all alot of solo que is generally just a group of random people thrown together. Cleric guardian is not optimal I guess but if you get placed with a pug group, and you notice no one is playing some kind of sustain class (don’t laugh it happens!) Then your cleric guardian may be a helpful addition.
Having said that people will then say, if you gonna go sustain, and see one is missing from the team then you should just swap to ele or druid. But they forget that skill plays a part too. If you are more familiar with guardian cleric, but have no real idea or just basic understanding of healing sustain for druid/tempest. Then you might be better off as your cleric guardian. Because swapping to a class you have little to no understanding off may prove more of a hindrance than an asset to the team. That said, it is good to practice or know well at least two other classes so you can swap as needed. This makes for good team work, and better harmony for the group. Oh, and don’t forget to consider what the enemy team is playing too. A mix/match of your skills to help your allies against the enemy team. It’s all about what YOU can bring to the team.
Gonna toss my opinion up in dis here thread, and say that double healing is wrong just by switching to a different stance. If only the other classes could be allowed two skill bars, and gain the benefits of a double heal also. Also being allowed to have your heal skill while rezzing your opponent is just silly. You don’t see DH’s have a trap heal cast under them when they rez, or a nec consume conditions while rezzing. With the removal of fast stomping it’s verrrrrrrrrrrry difficult. You can CC the rev for sure, not saying that is not a viable tactic but you’re still helping him with his sustain as all damage suffered is still healing them, no other class has this type of passing rezzing. Even if you look at all the ressing traits, none of them use something akin to theirhealing skill to do it.
The final tweak of course is staff 5, not sure why this skill can still push you back despite stability, you can’t even hit them in mid animation because it count as an evade. The overall damage wise though is pretty strong but is no different to me then when warriors used skull bash on you into 100 blades. Or a thief using devourer/bassi venom to lock you down into a pistol whip. Yes they are not “meta” classes but I’m just saying the crazy dps combo that Rev can is basically to me in the same context ^^.
I completely agree that rev has some broken mechanics but only when its compared to theif, warrior and DH.
Question, does the rev need a nerf if warrior, thief and DH are not in the game? If we completely got rid of those 3 classes does rev need a nerf?
I can do the same thing with engy, it has double heal, double mini form, great condi cleansing, perma stability and amazing boon reapplication. With hammer it gets reflects, team AOE blocks and probaly the 2nd best rezzing class in the game.
Rev isnt op compared to engy
Necromancer can dps and do condi dmg. Also many of its skills are offensive passive. People complained about warriors defensive passive skills. Here the necro takes boons away like resistance,(killed condi rev and warrior) made chill able to dps,(kills thief) thats not including the ability to take condi and give it back to you on crit.
rev doesnt need a nerf when it comes to necro.
OP questions my logic but you cant nerf something when its simply not the best at anything. Rev is on par with the other elite classes atm.
For years its been this way, pew pew ranger was the only viable ranger class for 2-3 years and it struggled against thieves and mesmers on off point fights. Bunker ranger wasnt as good as any ele build, bunker guardian or shoutbow warrior.
Only a few players could use a necro in high level play. Seriously like 2-4 players even used necro before HOT for AG/ESL level play.
There has always been a bottom feeding class. It was ranger,necro,mesmer before and now its simply warriors, thieves, gaurdians turn until anet learns what build diversity is and balance.
Oh I was saying the dps is okay, some people on here are like … omg damage is op from Rev. But was just highlighting that the crazy dps combo is possible with all classes with proper build, and setup. Just the passive rezzing, and double healing I felt was silly. Engi triple combo evade into blast finisher from his own water field is definitely ghey though. But only highlighted Rev tweaking. Yes while most people cry this or that is op, alot of people generally don’t look across the whole scenario. Not to mention any nerfs that get implemented affect pve too like it or not. But people have knee jerk reactions to things that seem to them impossible to defeat.
Hint People: Adapt or die
Casual players can still play, in unranked. Probably where they all went. Or Hotjoin.
Just got a core necro to Ruby rank, no I’m not advocating that core necro is viable, there were some instances were the extra stability would have paid off but all in all it still works.
Ironically this build works against classes that try to kite you, assuming I was a reaper. Plague form, instead of Chilled to the Bone, in my experience I find this elite still does well, not amazing but well. Tanks DH traps, and works as a stun breaker, at times too I had used it like in the pre HOT days to secure a stomp. Also people underestimate that doom has no casting time, no two step animation, just F1 into 3.
All in all it was a fun time for me, and was quite the challenge. Sometimes I swapped to Core Ranger when I noticed we had too many necs. (that account does not have HOT installed in it xD) Some of my favorite fights were against Reapers.
@ Anomaly: I understand that, but I personally haven’t experienced this kind of hate in this game yet.
I’ve gotten maybe 2 angry PMs in like 2k hours and both of them were in WvW!That being said, when something this seemingly rare happens, you can’t just quit because you think the community is toxic; it’s just one angry idiot that shouldn’t destroy your fun. You can block, report, and move on.
Finally, someone not overly sensitive.
Before blocking them, I like to link my Vial of Salt to them
Would mail an offender a stack of salt bought from the vendor.
Who’s idea was it to nerf warrior, then go on to buffing all the other classes, so that warrior is a peice of trash? It’s so frusterating, i used to be able to wipe entire teams and now i get stunlocks and killed in one hit. The worst part is that the team buffed necro, which was OP before. Someone explain this
Yea buff em so much a warrior can just … go in there, and tell his team “Bruh.. I got dis” Wait what.
People always leave, and come back, and leave. No exodus is gonna happen here. I mean people been saying that for 3 years now yet here we are. If you say “well this spvp shenanigans is the nail in the coffin for me”. Good to know, others will still be here. Myself included. (along with other games)
I only play gw2.
Well okay then xD
@PierPiero.9142 No not really, there is no perfect pvp game imo.
I play other games besides GW2, I don’t understand people thinking that everyone here ONLY plays gw2. That would get old, quick. Currently playing Metal Assault, small knit community, and alot of old friends there. Other games are usually 4x games, Dawn of War, and whatever floats my boat. GW1, and GW2 were never the only games I ever played.
Looking forward to Masters of Orion, Total War, Ashes of Singularity, and Overwatch, but will still be GW2ing
