Guild Wars 2

Kuya.6495:

So serious question: why is something that was there from the very beginning (guardian blocks) suddenly a problem now?

It stands to reason that if the blocks didn’t change, then something else must have that is actually the cause of your complaining.

Actually, I remember just before HoT when I played alot of MedGuard I noticed alot of complains at guards for their long duration blocks and their ammount of powerfull heals. Before HoT guards was one of few classes that had so many blocks and invuln.

1. Yes.
2. Masteries will not effect your dps but the Elite specialization will. For core PvE and fractals it is not necessary though.
3. Well endgame is hard to define in gw2, most say it is fractals and PvP/WvW so no. But for WvW and PvP you will be at a disadvantage.
4. If you do like gw2 I suggest that you get yourself HoT becouse it is alot of neat stuff to do in HoT and some stuff to take with you in Core game like gliding.

Khylo is my favorite map and I can’t say 100% why but I beleave that adding new ammo or adding stuff to it will ruin it.

Atm I think the treb feels like a tactical utility, use it when needed and leave it when not needed. Someone is trebbing, we need to send one to take care of it and so on. What suggestions I liked and I would like to add is;

- A timed circle like some big enemy aoe’s have in HoT (red circle with a growing yellow in the middle.

- Make a cap point at the treb (or channeling) making it destroyed when someone neutralize the cap and repaired when capped. So no build will be better than the other to destroy the treb.

- when treb notice says ’ incoming’ or whatever it also pings on map where the shot is hitting.

Mr.Dude is home, plans on playing Gw2 pvp ranked. He gets a babysitter to take care of his kid and he is sure nothing will interrupt him. 3 minutes after starting a game one of the following things happen:
- babysitter comes and tells you your kid has hurt himself and needs medical attention emdietly.
- You smell a suspicious smell of fire smoke, and notice that neighbours firealarm is sounding.
- power goes away for 5min.
- a burglar comes in your room and knocks you out cold.
And more…

When you can finally play again after you have taken care of what problem that happened, would it be fun to find out that you are banned from the only game mode in the game you like?

I think OP takes GW2 ranked way to serious.

I can agree in some way that HoT is P2W… As long as the elite specs are as good as they are. They give an unfair advantage over the core builds. But I would not like it if they decide core players and HoT players, I would like them to either buff core builds or nerf elite specs.

Sometimes it feels like people are thinking builds like mine where I go with alot of might and Merc amulet and no elixir S trait or skill with the meta build. Yes my build hits like a truck but for the tradeoff from that perfect sustain. Now I can play my build very well and does not die anyway but the damage I do is alot higher than the paladin meta.

Storms Fury.9307:

2.) Electro Whirl – Damage (2x): 888 (2.2 Power Coefficient) & Reflects Missiles

High Damage and Free Defensive Property (that does not require trait to have)
= Highly Overpowered

3.) Rocket Charge – Damage (3x): 1,212 (3.0 Power Coefficient) & Evades Attacks

High Damage and Free Defensive Property (that does not require trait to have)
= Highly Overpowered

4.) Shock Shield – Damage (5x): 505 (1.25 Power Coefficient) & Blocks Attacks

Moderate to High Damage and Free Defensive Property (that does not require trait to have)
= Moderately to Highly Overpowered

5.) Thunderclap Damage (5x): 1,525 (3.78 Power Cofficient) & AoE Stuns

High Damage and Free CC Property (that does not require trait to have)
= Highly Overpowered

There is no Offensive/Defensive “Trade Off” concept for Scrapper. They get High Damage AND Good Defense/CC WITHOUT having to Trait for any of it.

There is Zero Debate On this Issue, Scrapper is Overpowered.

If One wants to Argue that it isn’t because of Necro/Condi then the real translation is this:

-Scrapper is OP
-The Class that Counters it is also OP in order to overcome the magnitude of Damage, Defense, and CC that Scrapper has.

IE: They all need nerf

Maby you should try playing Scrapper a few times and see how fantastic these defencive skills are. Compare them to warriors or guards who can enable blocks and invurnebles while moving and activating skills and heal during their block/invuln state.

2.) Electro Whirl – Damage (2x): 888 (2.2 Power Coefficient) & Reflects Missiles
(Since it is a Melee skill it often be a iether offencive skill or a defencive skill, sometimes your enemy uses ranged in melee and you are lucky to reflect while hitting.)

3.) Rocket Charge – Damage (3x): 1,212 (3.0 Power Coefficient) & Evades Attacks
(Don’t forget that normaly this skill does 3 jumps towards your oponent and you can’t stop it, you can drag an scrapper doing this skill through DH traps and Necro symbols and pitfalls without the scrapper being able to stop the charge. And well for me I cannot stop the charge by switching to elixir guy. Also the evade window is very small.)

4.) Shock Shield – Damage (5x): 505 (1.25 Power Coefficient) & Blocks Attacks
(I agree that this skill is one of the best skills Scrappers have, but still I doubt it is that OP compaired to many other classes skills.)

5.) Thunderclap Damage (5x): 1,525 (3.78 Power Cofficient) & AoE Stuns
(yes, also a great skill but I see many players are good at making it very little afficient, it is almost like a DH trap; if you don’t know what to do, then it is a realy OP skill.)

Indeed Scrapper is OP, it is among the OP classes but by nerfing it anymore it will be useless. I play mostly scrapper and I can say that I feel that playing Scrapper takes alot more effort to play than to play Warrior, Necro or DH wich I do play rarely just to compleate a daily or PvP-Ranked Achievement.

Nusku.3941:

I get highest scores on my team, most damage dealt and this always happens, thanks anet.

You know… The score is not a very good measurement on how good you are.

You could be killing players while standing off point and never capture, I have seen players do that quite alot on sapphire where I am atm. Some players collect score by only killing players and forget that rotations and a good team communication (Without complaining on teammates doing bad) is what is winning the match.

Also, I made a build for my partner’s Necro a long time ago and she loved it and it was really OP at that time. Now that build is not that good anymore but still it grants her easy kills but she dies from just a gaze from the enemy. She do not want to change build. However, her loosing streak is looking just like OP’s and she always have most score on the team… And no wonder, it is a power MM build and she does kill players quick. But she can’t stand her ground with the build and usually does not manage to survive to iether cap or defend any point.

Alin.2468:

No official answer. I am taking the answer is YES and this is a noob question not deserving an answer. I will start using macros too. Thank you Anet.

So you are expecting Anet Devs to ; Read this post, start an investigation on this matter, confirm this matter and then give you an answer that havent been posted by others and Devs in other posts in less than 8 hours?

If you suspect someone using macroes to do multiple skills with one keystroke then you should think about reporting them for it.

Now on the other hand, I beleave that you can cast all DH traps in the same time without macroes as they seem not to have any cast time. I for example use the Razor Naga and I just have to click my whole thumb over the side of the mouse to press atleast 6-8 buttons at the same time without a macro.

Umm…. Yea, nerf Engies even more! They are still OP!
/Sarcasm

Maby people should try playing an engie and see how easy it is

greenarrow.2784:

you guys laughing but not everyone wants to fight its way easier to get reward track and way faster and you can even make new friends not everyone is so good at pvp

That’s why there is a PvE mode.

The way you are farming is not at all any intended way and it should be a bannable offence. It is just like trading outside TP, you can do it but it is nothing Anet supports.

I don’t get this ‘No one is watching GW2 on twitter so it is dieing’ mentality. Well Maby the E-sports part of GW2 is dieing but not PvP becouse no one is looking on twich I for example neither follow nor watch GW2 ESL live, since I always work or play GW2 when it is casting I always look at it on GW2 YouTube channel or at twich recorded shows.

I doubt that you can say PvP is dieing becouse no one is looking at it on twitch. I rather play it than spend my time looking at it.

Dunno if I should agree or disagree.

I mean, no I do not think pvp is dieing but I do not beleave pvp is doing good at the moment.

I myself play very little pvp now, I play very little GW2 at all but it is mostly becouse I am taking a break to play some single player games.

Anyway as many have said about condition damage ruins PvP and I agree with that. It’s no fun to play against classes who mindlessly can spam AoE conditions or apply tons of them while themselves blocks/immune or resistance. I hoped for a fix to this last patch but it got worse. So now is a good time for me to take a break, but since GW2 has no sub and has the best MMO PvP I will be back very soon.

I think alot of us are just waiting to come back.

QLi.3742:

The question here is how what and where the changes are done. Original GW2 LA had an important lore in gw1 and gw2. New hero and her/his story is part of a present not a past.

A destruction of LA was an event, not a part of story that we should be bothered about every time we enter LA.
We as in game player characters mine iron… cut wood salvage items for crafting materials, we craft chairs and tables. We can destroy craft and rebuild.

Well it is a part of the story, it was not just an event. It was a part of the living story season one, alot has happened to LA since GW1. A part of LA you run around on in GW1 is below the water.

This game is alot about a living world. If you want to relive old LA I suggest you play the main story that is before the destruction of LA.

I do rarely craft stuff. My Sylvari is an adventurer who loves exploring and likes technology not as mutch as Taimi though.

If I had the power to change conditions.

Longer durations and less damage per tick, that should mean same total ammount of damage but over a longer duration.

At the moment someone can just spike someone with conditions and they will die in less than 2 seconds.
That’s how pure zerker builds who can’t survive for 3 hours alone against 5 work.

The should be no skills that remove all conditions at once but max up to 3.

Or just live with the thought that condition damage doesn’t have to rule them all.

No, gear does not matter.

In PvP it does not matter if you are a new player or someone who has played for years, accept for looks and a few stats that are locked behind in game gold. I am talking about Pure sPvP though, some do mix it with WvW and that is different.

BrotherBelial.3094:

Wargameur.6950:

Almost every game I say hello and people are responding. People answer to the usual "who close ? " question as well.

As for rude people, well it’s either noob enemy players or some " OMG team what are you doing ? ". You can troll the first and ignore the second.

I have the feeling people talk more and more as you cross divisions.

Yeah I find when you start a league no one says a word, but by the time you get to middle sapphire everyone is talking at the start and sorting out who is going where, that’s been my experience anyway.

Ehh… I am Diamond… but this has been the last two days, that means in unranked as ranked has ended. So what I mean is that now that the season has ended less people are playing and those who still play does not bother anymore and just goes afk or even DC’s at the start of matches. Also people are very rude and it feels like the punishments are to weak for people to bother anymore. I am winning 90% of my matches but even so there is so many leavers and toxic people that the game is just not fun anymore.

For me it is becouse eles ruins the fun by being able to keep themselves alive plus the doorbreakers until they are through the inner gates.

I still think that healing done to NPC’so in pvp should be -50% atleast. Archers don’t attack players and guards almost takes no damage from players.

Or

Remove archers, guards and doorbreakers from the game and make so that gates can be damaged by players.

Well atleast for me.

Been away from GW2 for a few days, logged in yesterday played a few matches won a few matches and logged out, didn’t think about it too much.

Logged in today won a few matches lost one, won another few matches and lost one…. This got me thinking … Yesterday and today counting I did about 10-12 matches and 4 out of them all was matches where iether my team or the other team had atleast 2 leavers almost from start. Guess what matches I lost? :P

People are silent or rude, no one says Hello or Hi anymore and well the game just makes me angry and … I … Think I can take a break from this game now without feeling that I need to log in again in a long while.

I can’t be contructive and come with an idea how to fix this but… Owell Living story is back soon, I’ll be back by then.

Well… I wouldn’t call silverwastes a desert. Wait till you get to play in Crystall desert instead or play GW1 and visit crystal desert to see a preview of it there. Silverwastes is not the ordinary desert, it is like comparing grandconyon with Sahara desert.

Faux Play.6104:

What does this mean? Pulses: 3

Pretty sure if you read the whole skill description it applies it self 3 times over the 4 second duration and each stack lasts 5 seconds.

Feel free to prove me wrong. Post a video of what you are doing and why you think the skill is bugged. It looks like it is working as intended and documented to me.

Faux Play.6104:

I’ll link you final salvo. Read it a couple times and you should be able to answer this yourself. If not then you need to learn to read. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Final_Salvo

Faux Play.6104:

Have you heard of stability?

StickerHappy.8052:

Zintrothen.1056:

Go down less? You must fight some terrible players if you’re not going down at all…A good team can focus you, and if you’re team isn’t good at peeling for you, you’ll go down eventually. This isn’t totally a L2P issue. This skill has always been OP, and it’s part of the powercreep issue. It has a 900 range AND requires at least two interrupts to stop. Another idea is to reduce the hp on it and make it easier to destroy.

I’m not asking for this skill alone to be nerfed. It’s only one skill that’s part of a greater issue of HoT skills being too powerful. Impact Strike just needs a higher CD. (60 seconds. It’s an elite for God’s sake. 40 second or less CD is too good for something that stomps that quickly and CCs TWICE, even if the skill itself is easy to interrupt.) Continuum Split is clunky and annoying to use, yet is also extremely powerful with elite skills. I could go on…

Honestly I think its bugged, I cced it 2 times with me and my pet but the stomp kept on going so.. Maybe it was glitch or idk..

Can you do math though?

1 stack of stability = 1 CC, 2 CCs = Interrupt/

Please learn mechanics before you embarrass yourself even more. 1 stack is eliminated by 1 CC. 2 CCs = ?

Answer that for me.

I think you should be the one who needs to learn to read.

“Stability stacks in intensity up to 25 times and each incoming control effect removes a stack.”

Gyro has only 1 stack, so 2 CCs = ?????

It’s broken. If the gyro has no stability and get’s ihit with a CC (that doesnt push it away), the “Interrupt” floater procs over the gyro, and the stomp continues regardless.

The only amazing thing here is that you’ve never witnessed this XD

Indeed it is bugged but (main engie) what I have noticed is that the when/if the gyro gets interrupted it does get interrupted but not the animation, it then starts it stomp as soon as possible but then the animation is delayed even more so you don’t see the actual stomp. Becouse as I play Scrapper alot and without final Salvo I notice it being interrupted alot.

Also I think it is realy good but I could argue if it is OP as a stomper, I rarely stomps with my gyro as it gets killed very easy. On the other hand, I use it mainly as a resseer and I can’t ress this good and easy with any other class, not even druid.

Khylo is my favorite map.

This is one of the maps in ranked that isn’t PvE.
It’s alot about teamwork in lower tiers. In higher tiers they never use the treb and I think that is becouse you will loose one cap defender or attacker. You need to have all players on the field.

Treb does alot of damage but there is good tactics to outmanuver the Treb.

As many have said, if 1 is on Treb and one or two is defending it, then you should just let them bomb. If you can’t rotate that fight then it is not the maps fault. Sorry.

To those who say that it is okay to go afk becouse you are down with 300 points.

I have been in many matches where my team or the enemy team has been loosing with 300 points, but then suddenly happens and the game takes a sharp turn and the loosing team wins. The game is not lost until it is lost, going afk during the game no matter how much you sre loosing is I beleave not allowed.

Yeah, WvW isn’t the same as sPvP. In WvW your PvE gear does matter and I also think that you have to unlock your masteries by leveling, specific WvW traders and/or finding hero challenges in WvW or PvE. Pretty obvious that I don’t WvW much right? There is a WvW category in these forums, they should be able to answer more WvW questions.

Welcome back.

I can not help you with a guild but about the level 80 part, in PvP it does not matter if you are level 1 or 80. In pvp there is no level.

What’s weird here? Look at my added picture… They are taken at the same time.

So, I did lose 2 matches I agree but why does the loss streak only say one?

Well, the true story is that the first lost match was a match where someone announced that he would leave the match and he left, I think our scoore was above 300. So we had a leaver in our team and ofcourse we lost and I lost a Pip and … looking at my history, we did lose the match too.

Anyway, there is something wrong here. Can someone explain it or should I report it as a Bug?

Edit: Lol, forgot to add the picture.

Not full premade but I got this (See picture) match a little while ago.

Not only where they 3 diamond in a team but they got another diamond soloQ player vs 3 rubys 1 diamond and 1 sapphire… Sure their team had a emerald and we Rubies are maby close to diamond but come on that should not even count in this matchmaking. Also the whole team played like gods, they where awesome, way out of my league.

Almost a freakin 1 solo 4-man team of pro’s against 3 soloQ and a Duo and we all where totaly outplayed, no one was complaining or yelling on eachother, we all did the best we could.

Well the thing is this, my favorite map is not Forefire… In fact it is the map I loathe most of all. I like Kylo the most and when I can I always choose that map and if Foefire is an option but not kylo I choose whatever map that isn’t Foefire.
Now it says that my Favorite map is Foefire, how come? Well I guess becouse 70-90% of game papulation likes that darn map the most so even if I never vote for that blasted map I still have to play it over and over and over again… But why is the game saying that I like Foefire the most?

So please can you change the indicator of the favorite map be voted for and not played, becouse I guess most players who have played for a while will have Foefire as their favorite map even if it’s not their favorite map.

Nice post. To bad that most players who read the forums already knows this.

I can agree somewhat, there has been very few new maps, it almost feels like they have taken away more maps than they have introduced. There are very few different pvp game modes.
But these things takes time and I think that at the moment they aim more on the ESL and before that is either blooming or dead I think new stuff to pvp will be slow.

When it comes to traits, reworks and buffs it takes time, if you change too much in one go there will be chaos, just look at HoT what happened to balance. I think Anet have done really good changes to skills and traits last updates. Not to much and not to little.

PvE is a shame, I am a PvE player in heart and I feel like PvE (not counting stupid raids) has been deserted, I am really bummed over the long wait between HoT and the new LS, I was afraid that this would happen if we got and expansion.

I hope that they won’t harm my build, what people complains about that isn’t included in my build is
- elixir S and that trait so nerf it to he’ll.
- Purge gyro, nerf nerf nerf.
- Healing turret, nerf it more I don’t understand why people think it is so good.
- Sneak gyro, oh give it an hours cast time and a week’s CD for what I care.
- I have said it before, take away the evade at hammer skill 3 but please make it so it works like som thief skills, every press I do on the skill makes me jump charge and if I used it 3 times or stops using it for 1-2 seconds it goes on CD.
- No reflect on hammer skill 2.

If you want to do nerfs like this, I am okay with it.

You don’t have to use your tomes, in PvP your level do not have an impact on your character.

Why do we even bother? Leagues brings toxicity to the game and people are just farming the backpack anyway. Why not trash the league and just have the achievements to earn the backpack? Grindy but achieavable avhievements no matter how good you are.

PvP is starting to be horrible and I am on the brink of quitting.

If you dont like the leagues dont play ranked. Nobody is forcing you to. I enjoy the league system just for the sake of progression. But I’ve also easily gotten legendary every season, so 99% of this forum wont agree with me.

I love it how some people just read the OP and missunderstands it. Please read the other posts I have made on this topic and then reply please.
Also, why would I want to not play the leagues? It it the only way for me to aquire the backpack.

I have had realy good chats with players from the other teams, if I find a player I am fighting good or bad I usually iether try to give pointers (in a good way to not offend) or I am asking about build and I praise the good player. Usually it ends that I have that player on my friend list. People just have to learn to be more calm and take the possitive with the bad stuff. I usually just block people who offend me or others and don’t care anymore. It has been more common and it is annoying yes, but being able to talk with people is a part of making friends too.

And WoW has a different PvP and compare it too WvW instead, where you can not see enemy names or speak with them.

Just go do the fractal grind and get their back piece… anyone in the game can achieve that. If you actually care to getgud then keep playing pvp. if you made it to ruby in each season you should already have the back-peice by now (got mine hitting diamond last season and I am a casual player). the leagues are not the issue… the issue is that people think they are entitled to get everything…even if they suck (just being honest).

(For me, the fractals backpack is not as cool as the PvP backpack)

I dunno if you are telling me or not. I do not have any problems with being good enough to get the wings. My problem now is that I even though I have been Ruby/Diamond all seasons I didn’t buy the canisters things that you need to use in the MF to unlock next ascension aschievement so I have to win another 100 matches and earn alot of rank points. (But that is my own fault and off topic).

Anyway, why I made this topic is becouse there are alot of players who are actually good and are stuck in a Win one, lose one loop so even if they get 50 matches won out of 100 they still havent advanced one tier but other players gets 10 wins, one loss, another 10 wins, one loss, 10 wins, 20 loss, 10 wins, 28 losses and another 10 wins… Do you know what Division this player ends up in if it went from 0?

And then there is the matchmaking trying to lessen the waiting time for you so you will end up in a really bad team and there is no chance in the world to win.

And there is alot more reasons for people to be angry, and in the game people do not always blame Anet, they rather blame other players for being less good than others. People starts to attack eachother in chat more than even bother to play the game, some people AFK’s just becouse someone doesn’t wan’t to change class or does not play meta.

I have done my share of reporting and blocking too and I do not like to do it.

The forums are filled with opinions on the matchmaking and on the League system and people are angry with eachother alot. I think it is worse than ever… I remember when GW2 was the most helpfull community, I rarely see anyone giving good pointers in the game anymore. People just expect other people to know everything and be the best. Up to ruby, if you are lucky you can grind your way there without having to be any good.

Why have a system that let’s less good players advance to the 3rd highest division when we could just have a system that is more casual friendly to those who want’s stuff and more Pro to the ones who wanna go pro? (No skins, no stats, nothing that can be used in PvE, something that show other PvPers that you are Pro and you have earned it from being Pro)

I think I am very bad at explaining myself but I hope you get what I mean.

So for next year let’s not have an item to fight for, there should only be the devisions and the PvP-rewards are only from the usuall reward track.

I play PvP for fun and for rewards, I play leagues for reward only as I find Unranked alot more entertaining… I would go back doing unranked as soon as I have my backpack.

I am just tired of all the hate over leagues in both forum and in game and that I can not enjoy Leagues with my own made builds without getting hate whispers becouse I do not use meta (still I do realy good in PvP).

Furious.1283:

Elixir X F5 transforms to moa, can’t find the 10 seconds survival part.

As soon as you are transformed to a Moa, use 5 to get away and 2 to get away a little bit more. Though I as an engie usually try to Moa necros when then use their DS while HP is low and as soon as they are transformed I use Thunderstrike to stun them and hammer them down before they can get away. Once you are moad, chances of survival are slim.

Yes, that’s true.

But, what I meant is that reaper’s shroud is removed instantly without being transformed into moa. I enter shroud and shroud is removed leaving me without being able to heal because heal is recharging, and all other utility skills also.

I main engi, but that does not mean I know all tips and tricks but something like that is nothing I know of atleast. The only think I know that can interrupt DS or RS is other transformation skills. Maby you havekeybinded a key you don’t know about and accidently transform yourself back?

Hehe I don’t think Anet will loose so much money on you only wan’t to buy for 5$ from them. I have many times wanted stuff for 700gems but instead of buying 800gems I have bought 1600gems to buy something more while I am at it. So it may be my fault that you can’t choose kitten option.

I like your point op.

I had a match a few hours ago that went pretty well, we where down with 20-30 points then one players started getting angry with each other becouse they thought one wasn’t stomping and the other didn’t hit their targets and watherver :P The Team chat got so full of text so I started wondering if they where playing or writing. After that we began to lose more and more and we lost by 412 to 500.

Most stuff I read in team or map chat in PvP is just how bad they think someone are or that they will AFK rrest of the match and that someone is an kitty, cub or even a kitten.

I myself am not a saint but I mostly go ‘Why did you go far when you can’t survive?’ or ‘please don’t fight 4vs1 ele if you can’t kill it in an enemy capped capture point’. But I usually stay quet becouse I can’t play and type at the same time.

Lagged so hard today that my game even crashed. The funny this is that my partner is playing on the same network and has no lag and no crash…

I decided I rage quit so my team wont loose a pip for my DC. There goes my winstreak

Edit: I take it back, my partners game is now lagging. didn’t though while mine did. Weird.

I… I agree with OP and absolutely agree with point 4.

I doubt the game is dying.

The good thing about GW2 is that as long as you have bought GW2 and/or GW2:HoT you won’t have to pay anything to play it again. Just install it and se if it is fun again. Many people will come and go, and as game evolve there will be new good and bad thing. Some people will leave and some people will come back.

I am starting to get realy tired of PvP, this season doesn’t let you play nice matches with your friends who are in different divisions for example.

I always disliked GH system, it is to grindy and I loathe grind. On top of that it is to hard to get your Guild Members to even bother to donate crafting mats for your guild. Some mats require you to craft and a big portion of players havent even picked up a crafting profession and just sells all crafting mats. We are around 150 members and we are like 7 or 8 members (me included) who have atleast donated once to the guild (I do not force people to do it).

I also like Dungeons, and there will be no more dungeons… Instead they aim for Raids that I do not like at all.

Even though all these stuff I hate there are alot of the game I like and I still play it alot, now with the recent changes in WvW I have been going there more now. You can’t like all the game modes but maby there is one that you like atleast.

Reduce ammount of CC.

If you want to “donate” money to Anet, buy gems. You don’t have to use them, just buy them.

I am a little sad… I should have understood but I hoped Anet where kind enough to not being so strict.

I didn’t want to fill my bank with wings and weird stuff that I have to upgrade and stor in my bank until I knew I would have use for them… Now I know I have use for them so I crafted them … Ofc I thanks to this have to win another millions of matches to advance in my achievements… I have won millions of matches but just becouse I waited I have to do more matches. My partner who have crafted them before is more or less done now and I am not even halfways.

I get it that I have to craft them to compleate the achievemnt to get the stuff I need for tha last wings but why lock progression on Winings becouse I didn’t want to take up over 8 inventory spaces?

Not that I think it matters but by looking at the individual score Hornet has over 200 and the others has alot less. OP may think he is a special cookie and did lift the whole party and the match would have been a total blowout if not for him.

This is really unspecific? What exactly do you think is OP about scepter necro? This is necros only ranged weapon, and their only condition weapon. It is barely passable in PvE, and would be worthless if not for minions. Since both range and condition are strong in PvP it makes sense they would use it. I don’t see it being out of balance with other ranged and condition options.

In fact there is only 1 meta build currently for each class. This thread could equally read:

Sword/Shield Mesmer
Hammer scrapper
D/F ele
Sword Shield Rev
Dagger pistol thief
etc… etc…

All of these are used by every single one of the respective classes. You got rolled because you weren’t as good as the other team. In fact if you got rolled by a group of 5 necros you were doing something TERRIBLY wrong as that is a horrible team comp.

There is some insight into necro scepter though. It is the lowest direct damage coefficient of any ranged weapon, and is very slow to stack conditions. It is also only 900 range instead of 1200 or 1500 like other classes. This is countered by the fact that its AA is not a projectile and therefore can not be reflected. It can however still be dodged, blocked, invulned, etc.

About that boulded part… Umm… Axe and Staff are ranged weapon as Necromancer and staff should be a condition weapon, it was last time I checked.
