since everyone can do it, why not ?

Well, so enjoy your instagibs in WvWvW. Everyone can do that kitten, so it’s balanced.

A well balanced mode where the average encounter lasts about half a second and the outcome is completely decided by a dodge made into the right moment.

i was speaking about food, pve stuff etc. etc.
anyway dodge is meant to be done at the right time…
i don’t run an instagib build, but i’ve faced them … you don’t even need to be ultra fast.
a normal reaction time is enough.

sorrow.2364:

Steelo.4597:

yeah right nevermind, was just waiting for the l2p and wvw not balanced comments.. if you are bored and want to argue, find someone else to be your kitten.

Why? Did you really thought that a gamemode in which you can use all of your PvE gear, food buffs, bloodlust, where you can stack insane amounts of power and crit damage, where you are matched against upleveled character is supposed to be balanced?

since everyone can do it, why not ?

Steelo.4597:

and the other guy – this thread is about losing 90% of health with 3.2k+ armor to an instant power combo out of stealth

This is not correct.
OP lost 20045hp that is more than 100% of his life in a single combo.
The biggest part of the combo can be avoided but you have to be quick.

btw 19k hp on a warrior aren’t enough.

that seems interesting … keep us updated plz.
i won’t try it due to the full celestial set, but if it works ….

I think you found one of the few instagibber thief left.
old c&d-steal-bs combo with all damage modifiers precasted.
Too bad you didn’t react fast enough and you are a pink colored warrior.

Aberrant.6749:

Dude eng is hardly the most broken class atm. They are a solid thief counter, but it’s not like eng doesn’t have counters of its own. Heck, I wouldn’t call any class broken right now, but some are a little to strong in a few ways and could use some tweaking (and I wouldn’t even put eng in that category)… but str8 up broken? Nah. Sound like a L2P issue.

Condition builds are over the top. They have to fix the way conditions work.
A power build requires power, precision, critical damage, while a condition build requires only condition damage leaving room for toughness and vitality.
+ perplexity runes are broken aswell.
Some professions can abuse that and engi is one of those

ArmageddonAsh.6430:

Haha no i am an Engineer. My ele would be 1 shot by that attack :/
My Engineer has just over 22,000 health, 1,500 Toughness

You are an engi, and you have the guts to complain about thieves?
You are playing the most (atm) broken class.
If you die against a thief you must be really bad or you don’t have any idea on how to properly build your engi.
So, before starting other QQ threads, go learn your class.

Sanduskel.1850:

Well, I am sorry that you are struggling with your thief. I find my thief to be way too easy in WvWvW.

useless thieves are extremely easy …. effective ones aren’t.

I can imagine that Anet doesn’t want to give ascended weapons to everyone at any Teq death and so they put a very low drop rate on them.
However, they could add a “skin only” loot with a greater chance or put in a way to obtain it.
I mean, the weapon itself is a good loot, but the skin should be easier to obtain.
What do you think?

Volrath.1473:

also the ambush trap thief should have a bigger hp pool, he only lasts 15 seconds and most of the time he dies 5 sec after he spawns….

after 15th October it will have +72.5% life

Don’t be sad, my fearless friend. Raise again your sword against your foes, and strike them hard.

shadow trap could be a good skill if only players could trigger it.
If a clone triggers the trap and then explode you wasted your skill.

it should also be ground target range 1200

bring some condition remover

messiah.1908:

full zerk build will do maybe more 2k dmg if he hits in melee
but i can do 5k with condition from afar so basicly its better

again playstyle …

the problem is that if you are facing a decent group, conditions won’t last.
If you are talking about pugs ok, but no one in an organized group will take 5k from conditions.

If only OP had a ball he would take it away… “i can’t play? nobody will!”

don’t get the point of the video … a bunch of short clips of group fights.

i think hybrid builds are meh + conditions against a good group suck.

The current method “i’m roaming a map and suddenly an event starts… i’ll kill the boss, reward, gg” cannot work when you have to organize and manage 100+ ppl.
A big organized group, with guild chat, TS and everything else splitted because of some pugs … 2 hours of organization wasted because ppl can’t join the same map.

So why not to istance it, put there a hard cap, and make the zone joinable via invitation or after having joined a squad or something like that ?

You need to have a lvl 80 equipped char after 1 year …. soooo grindy.

yes

It would be great if the home istance will come a better place ….
At current state we only have a quartz node.
Why not to put in something we can buy, like bank, crafting station, TP, merchants and so on ?
You already have this place that is not used. Give us Housing in it.
We can buy carpets, tables, furnishings etc etc with gold/gems/new currency

i’m in.
invite pls.

Ryan.8367:

no, we’re getting reveal counter , quit crying

and gg

we aren’t getting any reveal counter. it will allow us to backstab-insta stealth-backstab
making us OP

Konrad Curze.5130:

they should just make this widespread
give a class one ability to stop:

- warriors from gaining adrenaline
- guardians from using virtues
- mesmers from creating illusions

and so on, so every class is a hard counter to another one, in a circle fashion…

guardians without virtues can still be immortal….

Corian.4068:

Stealth is a bad mechanic. The best way to make an interesting and viable thief is to focus on mobility and utility, and remove stealth from the game (for everyone and not just thief).

Yeah I know, it’s too late to do that now because it’s so built-in. But really, it would’ve been best to just not have stealth. It’s an outdated mechanic used as a poor substitute for mobility.

2500 range teleport and back again every 3 seconds can be a good trade for stealth…

Change approved !

It’s a good idea.
With some sort of icon that allows the thief to know he’s visible and as a temporary counter… i mean something like 3 – 4 seconds on a 50- 60s CD … not a permament state.

OP l2p

If more anti stealth skills will be introduced, thieves must be buffed in their defensive sector, through boons’ access or aoe CC or some sort of immunity.

Give thieves a disarm skill
“Prevent your opponent to use weapons for x seconds”

You buff (lol) venom sharing that requires 30points in the stealth line and you nerf stealth.

Nice.

At least move venomous aura to another tier (maybe deadly arts – or trickery) so we can make a decent (?) build based on venoms.

Direwind.8409:

I know just pointing out they’re there, even if they are totally over the top in price

their cost is not so high …

Daendur.2357:

6 of us at a camp …. 40 deso came
6 of us at a tower …. 40 deso came

blob blob blob
go blob yourself.

as does the reverse happen
anyone who complains of another server ‘blobbing’ in this thread is an idiot (ive seen all three servers with big blobs)

it is true that every server has its own blob, the problem is when a server has nothing else, and when that blob has nothing better to do than chase after 1 guild group…

We had 2 weeks with desolation and I hope we won’t see it anymore.
It’s not fun to find only blobs and see ppl running when they outnumber you just a little bit.

Few decent players, but too few compared to mindless blobbers.

6 of us at a camp …. 40 deso came
6 of us at a tower …. 40 deso came

blob blob blob
go blob yourself.

[BT] up for 5vs5. Anyone ?

Manoa.5897:

Tip: If you salvage ectos, be sure to refine your luck essences with an Artificer. It’ll save you a LOT of clicking.

OOOOOHHHHH I almost broke my mouse ! Thank you ! You just saved my new mouse….

Se cerchi una bella gilda, seria, attiva, con tanto di statuto, comandanti e generali che ti offra la possibilità di partecipare a tanti begli eventi di natura diversa, piena di gente simpatica e cordiale, hai sbagliato thread …

In ogni caso, se vuoi provare l’esperienza, fatti sentire.

WvW in prime time.
Varie ed eventuali nel resto della giornata.

Ciao

We were roaming in RS BL yesterday and we found a couple of decent fights … but the majority was ppl running away to reach a gigantic blob that followed us forever.
It is really sad to see and entire zerg running half a map to chase 8 ppl …
But apparently it’s the way you play.

Rather than posting a picture of you holding a asc weapon, show the weaponsmith dialogue.
And it being carrigon makes it even more sounds like a dropped version.

I forgot to screen shot the weaponsmith dialog since ive been up for 3 days straight I did however scroll up and screen shot the mats I posted in the chat, I didn’t know I was being interrogated, im SURE someone from Anet can verify the authenticity of my claim. Also im running a guardian condition burn build also I love the skin <3. Also I purchased all mats that were buy-able except for the ones for the vision crystal. Also I don’t think anyone can link the mats to craft it

What i was asking is: there is a method to craft more than 1 ecto refine per day?
from what i saw 3 are needed for the inscription and more or less 5-6 are needed for the blade+hilt … so it’s something like 9daily ecto refinement.
How did you manage to do them in 3 days ?
Are blade+hilt sellables?

Here’s the items I purchased for it.

Ah ok, tnx.

t5 mats are cheap.
crystalline dust’s price dropped.
skill points shoud not be a problem
so i think you should go for mystic toilet.

I thought there was a daily cooldown on ecto refinement …. am i wrong ?

AHAHAHAHAH even in the forum you need the help of someone else…

People will need to kill something like 200 world bosses in order to get an ascended weapon

woot! they told you something via PM ?

No they told us via livestream a couple days ago… you can check out

http://dulfy.net/2013/08/30/gw2-account-magic-find-ascended-crafting-and-legendary-weapons-revamp-preview/

for the details. You will actually need 500 dragonite ore per weapon, not 200 like I thought. I must have mis-remembered. Of course that is assuming the chance is 100% per boss. Based on how much they like to make us grind this may not be the case.

Or, for all we know, each event could drop 10 ore.

Point is, WE DON’T KNOW what the droprate is.

And neither do you.

lets count up all the things in this game that drop things in stacks of 10:

Done.

Now lets make a list of all the things that drop things in stacks of <1 (i.e. random chance of 0-3)
1. Ectos
2. Every bag in the game
3. T6 mats from salvage items
4. Champ bag T6 loot

My speculation is an educated guess based on multiple other sources in the game. Yours is just pulling a number out of your kitten to say i’m wrong… the best we can hope for is a chance at 1-3. Most likely based on time gating, and RNG we will have a 0-2 or 0-3 chance similar to other rare drop mats that have similar cost requirements.

or maybe we can count fractal relics or dungeon tokens.
as Tom said, we don’t know.

what a sad matchup … 2 blobby servers full of sad people that don’t fight unless they outnumber you 4 to 1.

Zaxares.5419:

I personally doubt that saved boxes will drop Ascended materials. Nevertheless, there’s no harm in holding onto them till the patch tomorrow.

Unless they remove them from the game….

Tom Gore.4035:

Well if it’s linear then 2,5 levels.

but it is not.

Hi, crafting from 0 to 400 gives you 10 levels.
Does anyone know how many levels will give 400 to 500 ?

i would really like to know what happened to the guys i reported….

sorry but
Basic Salvage Kit: 88c – 25uses = 3.52copper each.
Copper-Fed Salvage-o-Matic: 3copper each

800gems to save 0.52copper per salvage ?

The order is: near → far and it is a stupid mechanic discouraging organization and proper party setup.
