the list is looong, i will start with simple stuff
- i thought anet cared about fair class balance in pvp… i was wrong, they follow the same business model like every other gaming company out there
- i thought personal score ment something
- i thought leaderboards ment something
- i still accidently drop refuge next to dying teammate sometimes instead of on top of them because i don’t use ground targetting
- i accidently use heartseeker twice sometimes when trying to do BP+ HS combo (mech. keyboards are OP)
- i still get carried away sometimes when i should be decapping far point
- i still rely only on myself and think any teammates i ever get are mindless bots (applies to yoloq)
- i tried to backstab ROM when he was using GS block on ranger
- i am still playing d/p 26006 and refuse to run panic strike like a hipster
- i spend way too much time in d/p instead of switching to sb when i should have
- i hate engis, with passion
- i decided to defend point alone vs 2 guards as dp thief (which was stupid decision under normal circumstances), i actually killed them both O_o
- i am Caed fangirl~
- i hope Backpack’s mom will disable her credit card so he can’t buy more forum accounts
- i left my friend Mykasa in 1v3 situation w/o telling him i was bailing (with refuge up) due to massive pressure from those 3 enemies; i still regret it, sry man :/
- i still fail to port up the edges in mid of the forest map
- i still hope i can steal those 22 stacks of might from every celery
- i actually sometimes rage at noobs in matches but i don’t say anything
- when enemies talk crap to me in matches, it makes me feel good as i know i did my job hehehehehehe
- i am mediocre/terrible at any class in pvp but thief so if you see me in match on anything but thief you are probably carrying me for daily
- i used to have asura skyhammer engi just for that map
- i wish i had amazing team but it requires a lot of work and i am lazy :<

it’s not a secret that eu servers have always been bad
EU servers are not bad, as i said there is equal amount of bad and good players there as on NA… it is average pugs on EU tend to run older builds (cough turrets engis) for some reason where NA pugs stopped doing it long ago… has literary nothing to do with skill level though
There are so many stats out of the meta. Who said zerker is the priority or should be?
I dont see anyone running knights, valkryrie, assassin, barbarian, etc…
ppl did run different amys before celestial got buffed the way it is now
I totally don’t Gree with these proposed changes, even though I am ok with changes to berserker builds. Personally, I’d just tone down the offensive stats on the berserker amulet and increase the vitality so that pure glass builds aren’t so high dmg.
What? We haven’t had a zerker meta since the game’s creation. Nearly every iteration of balance has been leaning towards more tankiness. Instead of relying on reaction timing/ reading your opponent, it’s now possible to tank while maintaining near zerker-levels of dmg. The whole risk/reward has been thrown out the window.
Yes, zerker is not the meta, but zerker builds are what shape the meta. If zerker builds didn’t hit so hard, teams wouldn’t need to stock full of celestial/tanky players.
And the reason I said that the zerk amulet should have more survivability is because you’d have to add it in if you took out some of the damage. Otherwise there would be no reason for anyone to use that amulet.
you forget the condi builds (cough old dhumfire necros for example)… zerkers are not only reason ppl play tanky build… let’s assume zerkers would get removed, everyone would just run condis and soldier builds…
tbh meta is more shaped by the game mode where it rewards you for holding point which tank specs happend to do best
If that’s the case… I sent you a pm weeks ago asking to discuss with you and you never responded.
Do you mean message from 9th december? I made this decision and thread very recently, way after your message. Also i did respond but you never aswered back.
Pretty bad lag on EU right now again. Not just me but my teammates were lagging in every match as well :/
One of the players logged on alt account on NA and had no lag at all. It is just EU servers affected.
Fix EU servers plz T_T
P.S. tracert shows 22 ms btw
I didnt know you moved to EU Irrwi, NA has been lonely without you
1. Well, in september patch devs claimed that they fixed so called immob bug but at the same time they also changed how servers handle latency so if you try to play characters relying on teleports (aka thieves) you will watch every single spell fail (i mean this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zB4LAIOajpI)… Which is frankly annoying and makes the class quite unplayable in pvp, at least vs good players.
2. Since ppl decided to go full srs bzns about tourneys lately, nobody wants to play with me on NA anymore because i play from EU so i moved over here—-
Where after initial struggle i made few friends thanks to Jebro (most excited shoutcatser EU) and quite enjoying it here now… Also trying to get a team together but we really need a good mesmer~
Side note: pugs on EU play like pugs on NA from 1 year ago… idk why pugs are so behind in meta, top players are really good though. Wouldn’t say that NA or EU is better though, i think both regions have their share of bad and good players.
Those examples are achingly beautiful, and I’m very interested in commissioning an action shot of my character and her fern hound. It might take me a while to scrape together 200g, but if you’re going to be doing this for a few weeks, I’d like to reserve a slot, or at least let you know that I’ll definitely be ordering one in the future
yeah it will probably take me few weeks to finish the orders i already have
Nerf engi without first nerfing fire/air sigil combo would be a dumb move.
What, how are they even related
fire air is pretty much the only thing that can seperate a zerker engi from cele rifle right?
Nerfing engi/war/ele without nerf broken sigil of air/fire thives+mesmer with their low risk high reward builds will be terrible for the game.
while at it, nerf every zerker build as well as your own zerker build.
and cele builds will still be less risk more reward at holding points.
they don’t even play the same role.
sorry but balance isnt involved around WvW and dualing.
Celestial needs to stay as a viable stat in spvp. If they nerf engi even more we have the risk of zerker cancer become even more abundant in spvp. Sigil of air and fire are even more passive than battle and doom.
Keep defending your passive sigils.
Zerker cancer… i saw everything now…. pretty sure full zerker team wasn’t a thing for at least 1.5 years…
Problem is, lets assume overall class potential correlation between celestial and zerker is something like 2:3… if you nerf celestial and zerker at the same time, we would be still at 2:3 meaning nothing would change and it will be still run celestial or don’t run at all.
Also, for air/fire to actually be worth using you have to stack crit (trait for it + amy) and actually hit someone.
For doom/strengh you don’t have to stack any stats, use any amulets or trait anything specifically… all you need to do is switch weapon in combat…
So saying that air/fire are more passive than doom/strengh is plain lie.
oh and on side note, d/p got nerfed several times since launch, for example head shot, BP, HS… also multiple traits that are used be typical d/p builds..<_<
The change was made because of the relationship between Thief and Mesmer.
Thief hard-counters Mesmer more than any other counter in the game (I would say the only other HARD counter is Necro vs condi Engi). A thief can drop a mes in a second, then stealth for stomp preventing the Mesmer from getting time for team support from res. It is a good change, and I would do more towards evening the missmatch without nerfing thief or buffing mes, such as a change to consume plasma or allowing power block to effect thief weapon skills.
yeah too bad that if thief actually goes down as well he has 0 chance to ever get up because mesmer AI is still up and kicking his precious, let’s not forget that fact
after all this years and patches you still didn’t figure out that devs got a thing for engis? (probably because it is least played profession because it is crappy in pve and absolutely boring from roleplaying perspective)
i mean do you really expect much from devs that allow brainless crap like turret engis in pvp? that pretty much says everything about them

Trying to make some gold to make arena server for my team <3333 so will be open for commisions for a while.
engi, because broken class, engis increase yoour chances of win by a lot
celery, because too stronk atm
bunker guards, because they can rez my poor thief
