Guild Wars 2

I just wish there was greater incentive for your team to hold objectives. I don’t like blowing 40 silver on a supply camp to get it taken by two guys or 75 silver upping gates that are probably just going to be overrun when no one is on.

I just wish we could get some people to the BLs. The other day it was just me v. 5-10 ET and I held them as long as I could as they slowly rolled through our towers.

I had some trouble with thieves until I found some decent combos. Pistol offhand is ridiculously awesome. pistol 5 gives a blinding field for a couple seconds that you can combo with. I like using dagger/pistol because I can sit in the blinding field for a couple seconds and not be hit by anything then use dagger 2 for a combo leap that gives me stealth (and does pretty decent damage to injured foes) and then backstab from stealth. sword/pistol works about the same way but sword hits all foes around you instead of just one.l

yeah, this game is turning into thieves v. eles with a small smattering of mesmers so you can deal with thieves :-/

every other class is pretty much inferior

How does this build deal with crippling effects? Cripple seems to be the #1 thing that ends up getting me killed.

At max level and low level events are easy to find. Between then it can be a bit difficult to find them. Just start an alt and knock them out with them.

I was just saying why I don’t like hitting up low level zones. Picking up items that sell for 6-10 copper sucks. I’d rather have grays because at least they stack.

I don’t like playing low level zones because they drop low level loot. I’m fine picking up some of the crafting mats cause I can drop those in collectibles but almost all the low level stuff that drops isn’t worth picking up. Making them drop only high level gear would present another problem, though, as low level gear could then only be obtained by low level characters. Maybe a way to toggle what kind of loot you want dropped? IDK.

If I understand your point correctly you want the ability for a higher level character to pick up lower lvl loot? I don’t quite get why you would want this, other then the context of crafting materials (I think crafting mats should stay to the lvl relevant to that area). Any other loot should scale to your lvl. If you want lower lvl items from the same area, just farm with your lower lvl character who will be using them.

high level characters do pick up both high and low level loot when visiting lower level zones. When I go through a low level zone I get a mix of 72-80 gear and 1-10 gear. Most of the 1-10 gear just plain ain’t worth my bag space.

Honestly elementalist is hands down the best class. There’s a guy in the WvWvW forums bragging about how he takes 8 guys out solo. I’ll just put it this way: with several abilities that activate on a % of your hp with no CD and the ability to heal to full in an instant there is something a biiiiiiiiiiit overpowered.

I help other players out all the time and it’s not cause I’m a nice guy. If you’re going to tank a group of mobs for me so I can aoe them down and collect loot that works for me. If it happens to save your kitten that is just an unintended side effect.

You FA guys might do better if half your realm wasn’t camping the EB jump puzzle

Look. I like the idea of rallying it’s a great alternative to sitting there healing someone to full. However, I can’t tell you the number of times I have seen 3-4 enemies all rally at once because some random moa died to MY AoE or some idiot scout at our camp goes kamikaze and rallies half the enemy team. Make it so only human players allow a rally.

Hey CD, you already won. Quit camping the jumping puzzle.

yeah, the engi rifle damage by itself isn’t great. Blunderbus has a nice short cooldown, though and the jump attack does some pretty good damage but it’s made terrible by the fact that you are vulnerable to damage during the second long duration of the jump. Rifle 4 even breaks snares which is awesome.

To make the most use out of the rifle, though, you should be dropping combo fields and shooting through them. There are a ton of them available.

The only good thing about the orbs was that holding them generated a bonus for every map. While I like the idea of swapping the current outmanned bonus I think that the bonus should be something that applies to wvwvw but doesn’t give a direct advantage like the current orbs. Faster Yaks/more supply per yak would be my suggestion.

good temporary solution

There’s a problem but it’s not the jumping puzzle. It’s how darn hard it is to get badges. Make them drop with some regularity from sentrys/camps/towers/keeps and people won’t have to farm the darn puzzles to get a decent supply of badges.l

honestly, if you are really paying attention to the buffs and debuffs going on around you it can be pretty exciting. At least for me. My engineer has 3 blinds on 10, 15 and 25 sec CDs. I don’t heal but I prevent a heck of a lot of damage from happening.

I still wish we could give those kids copper mining picks instead of candy.

I mostly don’t get why he calls himself ‘mad’.

for towers you’re probably better off with a ram but when you reach keeps with their… idk 2-3 gates having a golem helps.

Part of the problem and a good temporary fix would be adjusting how huge the capture area is. There is no need for it to include the back and inside of the buildings in the capture area.

pistol + shield is cooler and more effective

Yak’s Bend: was able to enter through an unmarked door in kessex hills(nothing on map). Everywhere else appears bugged.

try harvesting. Most of the mid grade wood sells for more than elder (the exception being soft/green). And Gold ore is the 2nd most valuable ore in the game and there are tons of nodes in wvwvw.

kind of takes the fun out of it when all your hard work goes to waste when CD just caps literally everything. Go to bed at 2am with 2 orbs and half the point income wake up at 6am and the whole map is green. All 3 orbs ninjaed during the night.

and btw: why was CD using trebs to bust our towers from SM so DH could take them? Kicking the last place realm to boost your competion makes no sense.

been mentioned a couple of times already but I just wanted to confirm that the forge is not accepting the killstreak boost reward
