Guild Wars 2

As far as I am aware its your armor rating which is important, not toughness (although that increases your armor rating in turn).

Also I know condition damage ignores armor, so more HP = better vs condition and more Toughness = worst vs condition. Don’t know the formula with armor and physical damage though.

Ever been successful with this in tPvP?

Because sPvP is kinda a joke at the moment…you can own 1v3 with tonnes of bad builds.

Well forum mod =/= Arena Net bug fixing team :P

Please add:
Traps in clocktower don’t work. No white circle appears when they are laid, and they don’t trigger.

Very easy to test and fails 100% of time.

Hildebrandyr.5820:

Now, for the sake of bug hunting, I’m making no assumptions about you. Please understand you are probably better at this than me. Are you sure that you did not get dazed, interrupted, or somehow cancelled the animation from the trap?

It’s ok I would be cautious about believing someone straight up about a bug like this.

BUT I have played 250+ PvP games with my ranger (I don’t PvE), and I have tried setting traps in the clocktower at least 50 times (I usually pray that one day it will work…for some reason :P), and every single time without fail it hasn’t worked. 100% a bug.

Now this part I’m not 100% sure about, what I think is that the trap doesn’t think that the inside of the clocktower is a surface – and so ithe trap kind of falls straight through it. The reason I think this is that I’ve seen a necromancer fall straight through the clocktower once and get stuck there.

Anyway I just really hope Arena net are at least aware of this…it’s a seriously huge bug for my class and really effects my competitive play

Its not our fault you can’t click the vines and attack it CeCaKonVeu…

Also you mentioned somewhere about how its undodgeable….if you dodge roll then it misses

Also is has a cooldown of 150 seconds. Lolz. It can be used like 3 times in total in a match. It’s a pretty subpar elite – subpar CC (vines can be broken), subpar damage (its all condition based over a period of 20s which is prettykitteneasy to remove) and long cooldown.

Only good thing is its AoE – which atm at least makes rangers a bit more useful in group fights/support (which is what rangers lack atm).

I currently run a trap/condition ranger which seems one of the few viable tPvP builds for them at the moment.

And then I reach the final round of tournament….and half of my damage/condition is made useless.

Traps don’t work at all in the clocktower. Probably one of the best locations for a ranger to set traps is at the clocktower due to choke points…but when you lay down a trap nothing happens – no white circle appears, it doesn’t trigger off, it does zero damage.

This seriously kittens rangers – forget balance changes, fix this bug. The worst part is that its in the final round map of tournaments :\

Warriors are far from OP.

I’m a ranger, and I don’t think I’ve lost vs any warriors in tournament matches. I’m not saying I’m amazing, just that warriors are so easy to kite, to dodge and chase down (they have no good escape mechanics like many of the other classes do).

Their downed insta-revive skill is a bit strange though?

Yea – I would rather wait in a queue for a couple of mins then get launched in 5v4’s every game :\

100% agree with everything the OP has said – good post.

Using Ranger traps in the clock tower currently doesn’t work. You lay down the traps, but no white circle is shown and it never triggers when people walk over where you set them….REALLY hurts my current build!

Coming second in a tournament I received no rewards – I have heard this is widespread problem too.

I know this is happening with at least one other person…..PvP wins aren’t register under the ‘Conqueror’ achievement. I have apparently won 17 matches under the Ranger Wins achievement, yet I have won 0 under ‘PvP wins’.

Is this happening to everyone just a select few of us?
