Guild Wars 2

Inb4 dodge and use stun breakers.

I turned off auto target in the options Now if i don’t have a target it just shoots straight or attacks straight until I manually pick up a target. Also with that setting on you can’t run through your target you get ’’Collision’’

A powerful AoE heal and a full-party full heal? No, can’t say that I am, sorry.

Full party heal is like a 10 second cast, they really try hard to guy healing from this game, but it’s still here in spirit. The whole combat and skill system just feels wonky and premature.

To people that haven’t figured it out or broken away from their cookie-cutter MMO combat mindset, yeah.

The rest of us are having no prob, so I’m pretty sure the issue lies between your seat and your keyboard.

i like how a few people are just so ’’Enlightened’’ and see something the rest of us don’t when it comes to Gw2 get over yourself the game is good but it’s far from top tier.

Necro elite skills are almost useless the flesh golem is pretty decent tho.

Any warrior worth anything will quickness—→100B you. Otherwise he won’t get more than 2 tics off the attack. Assuming the player has good shock reaction.

tom.7468:

seriously? they have a base toughness/vitality of 916 and hp 10,8k lowest hp in game now that is very low for a class without a viable ranged weapon. nerf their defense and they have nothing. just accept the fact that there is no easy cake spike build to kill a good guardian.

The problem is you don’t even need to be ‘’Good’ to hold a point as a fully defensive guardian. A-net stated they don’t want people with pure def builds to stay alive forever and offence should strong arm defensive builds.

@xloz necros can’t even hurt themselves if they wanted to lol

ower.9143:

get rid of all the WoW kiddies who jujst wanna roflstomp and not team play and who are asking for gear set to grind out so they can be even more l33t and turn it from something fun into a full time job.

Funny thing is WoW players are actually good at pvp. Conquest is not even a good way to determine skill period.

I’ve been level 80 for 3 weeks and I still didn’t by the grandmaster trait book because

1. The price on it is stupid
2. Necro traits suck anyway.

so if 10 of us have a problem and 20 don’t it’s clearly our ISP?

The damage output doesn’t match the health if one player can hit 5-10k on crits and you only have 19k hp that is absurd.

Remove quickness/Haste/Time warp.

I’d have to go with this

1. Mesmer – A lot of escapes and good burst damage/ Low skill cap

2. Guradian – A lot of healing capability and a good amount of damage/ Low skill cap

3. Thief – To much burst potential and spammy abilities but very frail they don’t need haste/ Low skill cap

4. Ranger – With a bleed build there are just stupid to fight. Their auto attack shoots way to fast on a bow. Quickness-Rapid shot or shortbow auto attack is just insane and that beast enrage makes them able to unload with full buffs and stability./ Medium skill cap the quickness is just silly for any professsion imo.

5. Warrior – Is just a debuffed guardian but has good damage potential and snares. Quickness and 100 blades combo is just silly I don’t mind 100 blades as a attack tho if you can setup correctly but with quickness that’s dumb./Medium skill cap

6. Elementalist – Very frail and has to work 10x harder than most professions to achieve equal results. The only issue I have with ele is they need extreme set up and must build glass cannon or else you won’t be able to get anything done. might need some bug fixes to fix that/high skill cap

7. Necromancer – They are just bad there is no reason to bring a necro before any other profession they do poor damage, can’t stack conditions well but have decent survivability but they might be better after bug fixes./ High skill cap

remember this is just all IMO.

I rarely run into engineers or fight them so I can’t list them.

There is almost no reason to use a Fine Xmute stone on asura armour because it all looks bland. Minus a few exceptions you have to jump through hoops to obtain.

I guess 80-90% of the community is just horrible while you are the special snowflake that is among the best.

Seems like they want you to grind the way they want you to. If you find a way to make it easier on yourself fan-boys and a-net slap exploit next to it and patch it ASAP while professions like the necro have 100’s of bugs not patched up.

it’s clear from the score ET doesn’t have a night time presence or they would have at least 100 points potential even pugs can make that happen.

When ET went vs IoJ and SoS their lead was so big it made up for the night time loss and they eventually stopped doing massive siege.

On the weekend when henge had full resistance they choked and was losing as soon as sunday night came they starting gaining ground.

This is from one of the guild websites in AA, fully copy pasted :

Resonance (AU)
Harlequin (AU)
Nocturnal (AU)
Oceanian (AU)
Fury of Order (CH)
Heroes.Ph (PI)

7 guilds and they can’t field 50 people in every borderland and EB? Come on!

Yeah but a screenshot shows no clear resistance from the server. Seriously sub 100 potential points for an alliance is terrible.

Also no one is complaining it’s just stating facts

The fact is HOD can’t hold when 2 competent servers are duking it out which showed on the whole weekend. Then comes sunday night when no one is on they are top dog again and patting themselves on the back just for having a full coverage.

What people don’t understand is this game is a grind. If you grind gear/tokens/mats the way you want to it’s gonna get nerfed. They want you to grind their way.

Killing 5000 mobs in 1 session is no longer an option you want it you farm for 20-30 mins for the anti farm code to kick in and destroy your magic booster and food investment. now you have to go on a random alt or just flat out go do something else for 30-40 mins to continue.

You found a easy way for phat loots and rewards you for running a dungeon without dying? Nope you need to die and see the content destroying you, You need to rack in a repair bill that’s how the devs know they designed a good dungeon.

You found a way for easy tokens on gear that doesn’t do anything but make you sexy? Nope you must grind a dungeon 60-70 times and spend at least 30 mins to complete it might be longer if you die from the content design of course.

But at the same time ‘’We don’t want this game to be like every other MMO it has to be Different’’

The ’’Other’’ MMo’s at least let us grind brainlessly if we wanted it was an option.

The fact you were downed should put pets on a CD because lets be real here a pet profession will always beat a non pet profession if you both down each other

necro is a pretty selfless profession the conditions weaken enemies and makes them waste cleanses. But the damage on the necro is pretty lackluster

heres what i have to say to this thread, and hte posters in it.

anet said they are gonna balance around Tpvp (not spvp and NOT WVWVW)

so unless your copmlaint about pvp involves tpvp…shove it where the sun dont shine please

Luckily most tournament teams are running with either 2 mesmers and 2 guardians plus 1 of the other, huh. I cant even remember a game where the premade team didnt have 1 of both, while i certainly cant say the same for eles, necros and rangers. That is just as valid an observation as the OP playing a Thief and being amazed at its potential when picked up half an hour ago.

But ofcourse your personal experience will wildly differ. I wonder in what unrelated way you will downplay this. Maybe that i have bad eyesight and my eyes need to learn 2 play?

You ’’MUST’’ have a tanky built guardian or warrior. You ’’MUST’’ have a mesmer the other members are a toss up just don’t bring a necro either.

technically Tpvp and Spvp is the same thing just with a smaller setting if anything Spvp should be 5v5 because it’s more structured.

R E F L H E X.8413:

Pistol whip is from sword, but you may mean greatsword, not sure if they got those or not forgot, I haven’t really been playing spvp or anything much for the last 2 or 3 weeks other than doing pve and arah. I find lupricus to be quite more enjoyable than the current spvp system, and the rage he gets from people, it’s just amazing.

pistol whip is main hand sword off hand pistol.

Also to the guy above there is a different between not playable and viable

Because most of the time a thief is gonna do 4 things

Unload spam
Heartseeker spam
5—>1 on dagger dagger.
pistol whip spam

the only time it’s different is if they are near death which means auto stealth or heal spell to stealth.

Every other class almost has to implement 4-5 other buttons to get the job done. I’ve yet to see a thief with a sword or a shortbow in Spvp and in WvW thieves only use shortbow for the teleport shot.

Seffie.4120:

I hope they don’t change it. Why would you chose the smallest class and expect large weapons?

Do you realize some weapons are so small you can’t see them when it’s sheathed.

aleiro.8521:

Could you please stop whining about 100 blades mate, it’s a melee ability and warriors that run that spec are extremely fragile. Stunbreaks are necessary because all the freaking classes in the game have CC not because some burst skill that can be used once every 48 seconds or so (cd for frenzy traited) maybe the warrior will get one kill. Once they notice his build he will get zerged down every time, end of story. it’s not op, and please this is getting old. It’s good that people die in pvp otherwise it would be completely stupid.
Anyone remember when they tried to make people invincible in RIFT?
it was completely pointless to do pvp then…

A frail warrior? Where can I find one.

Passive Aggressive.3154:

They did this because female Asura would look weird in the skimpy, sexy little outfits (think about how awful female gnomes in wow looked in bikini style plate armor). It was kind of a lazy way out though. Maybe at the very least they could program it so that female Asura get to wear the shoulder armor of other races but the male bits of everything else. That way she is not stuck in a bra and panties but might have a bit of variation compared to Asura males.

Maybe not skimpy armour, Just some cool looking features at least, Atm there is no appeal to light armour other than hoods IMO.

DJSkittles.7196:

sum1 link a glowing staff, i need a staff thats gounna catch sum1’s eyes.

I have yet to see a decent looking staff without it being an exotic. All the staves look like sticks with a crystal on it.

The asura cultural staff kinda looks like a spear looks pretty cool for 40k karma r so.

I tried to get this sexy set of gear http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Winged_Armor

Only to find out the female asura model looks so lame I ended up only keeping the hood and the mantle because it looks ’’ok’’ but it doesn’t look amazing or have any sort of wow factor to it.

@Nachtnebel

You mean quoting GhostCrawler?

there is only 2 builds you can go as a necro and both options lead to poor damage.

DS tank build aka meat shield

condition build and look like you are doing something.

ComeAndSee.1356:

I always end up finding myself the person defending points, but then I don’t get anything from it.

It’s always the people running around farming kills that get double my points. IMHO, you should get 5 or 10 points every 15s for defending a point or something.

that promotes AFKers. I would suggest they give x amount of points/glory for the time the cap point has been contested for and if you defend or neutralize it.

GankSinatra.2653:

Something akin to AB in WoW (YES I’M DUCKING!).

Wahaha.7938:

You know there’s more than one 15-25 zone? There are way more hearts than you could possibly need to level properly.

I am a level 26 guardian and I maxed out kessex hills 100% completion and got 99% on queensdale minus the bugged skill point.

In the new area 25-30 or 35 all the hearts I see are 27+ and my personal story is level 28.

Jonny.9370:

I play on a 48" HDTV… Idk what ur talking about.. :P

thanks for sharing that that….

I agree I only know which boon i have is usually from what my toon says.

i want a lava based map without npcs or gimmicky items/weapons. A straight forward map with lava as a danger.

battle of kyhlo doesn’t have a waterfall cap spot.

The problem is the system rewards aggressive play over defensive play.

i didn’t list dodge silly me….

Temariah.9372:

Stadig.7325:

Warriors?? They don’t any more. They are actually almost UP atm. Just roll a mesmer like everyone else. Best burst in the game and light armor. Or was it medium idk.. I do agree that class balance is horrible right now though. I played all stress tests and BWEs and it’s actually worse now than before..

Do you play a Mesmer? I’m legitimately curious as to this magical burst you have seen. Please enlighten me with the rotation and build that provides such burst to a Mesmer, because as far as I’ve discovered, Mesmers don’t burst down enemies as much as out-live them.

Love, a Mesmer.

Having burst and bursting down is different.

If specced right this is good burst
Pistol offhand – Illusionary unload
Sword mainhand #3
Sword mainhand #2
then mind wrack
So 4—→3—>3—→2—→F1.

Love, A Necromancer

Geff.1930:

LMAO! Why not remove CC altogether then? There are so many stability buffs and CC removals available to every class.

Necro class says hi to stability.

What’s funny is it takes us having to weaken a player to hit for as much damage as we hit by with our so called hardest hiting ability. (FOC)

Nero we don’t have haste everything you said is swiftness.

Horn is a 2 sec daze not confusion.

Anti hype because of obvious reasons. The community is whining for a reason.

Female asura necro
Minion dies ‘’ Ill summon another’’

Not sure if it’s the starter or finsher of a combo field.
‘’Combine and Kapow’’

or they could feel at home and are walking barefooted

Female necro when summoning a minion
‘Look Life after Death’’

Sorry I play a asura necro my gear by default looks worst than everyone else’s.

Except after you wear the gear from 1-80 you look terrible (It’s all about looks remember). Either you GRIND 45k karma per piece or FARM 9g for the vigil,whispers or priory set. Or you GRIND 20g per piece for cultural or GRIND a dungeon 70 times for a set.

Either way the grind is there it’s just how you want to do it. Other MMO’s give you one option that’s the only difference.

LadyFearghus.3406:

The only thing I want is a system where you can wear armour for your profession and below. If you can wear heavy you can also wear light. But if you wear light, you can’t wear heavy. I only want this for my Asura. He’s a warrior, but I think he’d look much better in robes I think it’s a little unfair for light armour wearers though.

So if we roll a light armour class we are screwed out of gear choices?
