I totally understand SoR’s position this week, just head hunting to try to stay in Tier 1, even though they don’t belong here, as their score keeps showing they just don’t have the coverage to compete. I would think that if they where really double teaming BG because a few guilds on our server ran their mouth, that they would negotiate a place in second. Unfortunately not the case, so who knows what is really happening behind the scenes. But there you go, SoR 0 ppt, 11pm server time.

I read all the bad talk about BeastGate, and I am not going to respond to it, I just want to point out that we took on the #1 server in north america, we are fighting off their pet dogs at the same time and we still hold a strong second position in Tier 1, good job to everybody on BG that is spending so many hours every day in WvW to make the difference, and to all of our commanders out there, and all of our amazing WvW guilds that fight regardless of what anybody says.

Can’t wait until we push SoR into the tier they belong in and we match up with Kaineng again. I’ve been missing me some War Machine fights.

We belong here because their is no other world that can compete with us over time besides JQ (and BG for the moment). If someone else moves up, we will be solid in T2 and someone above us will fall and we’ll be right back in T1 again. Afaik there are only two consistent servers, JQ and SOR. We are the only who have have not fallen below T2 since our rise. Maybe thats due to some sort of loyalty characteristic.

If history repeats, SOR will eventually get some more coverage, beat BG, and BG bandwagoners will fall off causing them to fall down again. Much like SOS, IOJ and others.

What do you mean “for the moment” when mentioning BG? You forgot BG in your list of consistent servers, we’ve already survived fall from T1 before. We’ve never fallen more then one ranking spot in how many months? We dust the dirt off our shoulder and keep it moving.

If we were going to implode, don’t you think it would have happened already?

You have to keep in mind that BG it is not the same server since all the new transfers. They are the reason you are the 2nd stacked server but they are not there for the second place. That has proven to be a problem unless you can secure first place. Nobody has yet survived a mass of transfers out of their server.

Yes BG is the same server. It is still the same community here and that same fighting spirit. I am active on BG in both game and its community. The new transfers have fit in well and there has been no problems. Do you even Beastgate bro?

If you think that your new transfers left their own server and moved onto BG not to get to the first place but just because you are nice guys you might have a problem when reality sets in. You can accept the truth or be in denial that is your choice bro.

So, uh, you realize that SoR got a bunch of transfers too right? HIRE, for example, is a 400+ person guild. So what happens when those transfers who left their server to get first have to settle for third? You can accept the truth or be in denial. That is your choice bro.

Seriously. I don’t know where people get the misconception that Blackgate is “unstable” or “stacked”. Last week made it pretty clear that JQ has far more players than they would ever let on. Don’t bother hiding behind the fact that they are “PvX” because hordes of them will show up when they need to secure the win, which in the end is all that matters. They can be on cruise control the whole week. And SoR, don’t even get me started. To get some perspective, our last week in Tier 2 against them involved us scoring more than SoR and TC combined. SoR may not even be here if not for the SBI implosion, which benefited them with mass transfers from SBI and other servers, in addition to some very poorly designed rating math. So, just so I am clear on this, Blackgate gets transfers = stacked. SoR gets the same amount (or more) of transfers = stable and “the little server that could”. Blackgate was a stronger server before you got transfers and I’d say that the two are a bit closer now than they used to be, but before you imply that Blackgate is only “better” because they received transfers and therefore are a “bandwagon”, remember that you got a bunch yourselves that could depart just as “easily”. If anything, guilds moving to a server when transfers were free would result in even less reason to stay. Our transfers are probably more stable because they paid their own way. Skin in the game, as your fearless leader would say. Don’t come at me with your hypocrisy, bro. It will not bode well.

Why engage in trolling and public defamation when the report button is so close? click See ya later!

Great fights out there everyone

Let’s make it a rule; if someone wants to talk about all the bags they made or how badly they wrecked a certain guild or person, video/screenshot has to be attached or they are full of it.

K? K.

JaredKincade.9761:

Question:

This is a very serious question with no hidden agendas or accusations.

Is ressing through a watergate a dead mesmer who swam there while downed inside bay considered to be an exploit/frowned upon?

Can I shake your hand through a wall? Exactly. To me, it is clearly not intended. I’d say that it is a borderline exploit because of the nature of the incident. That person is clearly not supposed to be alive without anyone else being alive inside the keep the revive them. The reason this cannot be applied to weapons cleaving through gates or AoE going through gates is because that is not game breaking and it is currently how it works with their engine. This is a biproduct of said engine, but it is obvious to me that it is not intended.

I feel like a mod hasn’t read it yet. I know, I know, you can hardly contain yourself until you get it.

And please do! I’d love to see your pro zerker thief commanding SoR legions to victory.

If you honestly think that trying to put me on blast in a public forum and blatantly insulting me isn’t against forum rules, you obviously haven’t gotten enough sleep with flashbacks of getting instagibbed keeping you up at night.

Come find me in Bay on JQ BL, bro.

Are you actually in-game or worry about politics rather than your guild that has no coordination if Rids logged off?

You’re so cute I’m in game. KnT is running better than ever now that you’re not in it and have multiple capable commanders. Thanks for the concern and the time taken out of your busy schedule involving kittening out your own server to throw some kitten back our way.

hammer.9721:

for a server that claims all they want to do is fight its pretty lame when the same thief hacks 3 towers on eb within a five minute span at 6:20 est.

Keep this stuff out of this thread.

No individual who is exploiting ever represents an entire server. Even a guild exploiting does not represent the server. Keep this bullkitten the hell out of this thread.

12.5 hours in SoR BL later… It’s bed time for me. About 4:30am where I live and I must say the fights were pretty darn good this reset. Especially enjoyed the co-op with HB. Gonna try and sleep a little more this week than the last one haha.

Pvp.2758:

Good job JQ! Never stop fighting, even against BG’s crazy numbers

Really? I should think with SoR joining with JQ to form Teal Team 6, there is no way our crazy coverage that we paid 18,000 gold for can be outnumbering you.

I’m walking JQ yaks.

I’m real proud of you.

Thanks <3

I like my steak tough, and the more they run the less tender they get =D

I like it raw with A1 Steaksauce.

You know, if you killed that JQ yak, there is a 50% chance or so that you’ll get a slab of raw meat. Kill enough and I’m sure you’d get one. Hungry yet? Feeling the temptation?

It’s been a great match. Who cares about scoreboard posturing or exploit accusations. The actions of an individual are often painted as an entire server and that is wrong.

It’s going to be a fight to the finish; may the best server win.

Score update for those of us away from home and yearning for combat?

Good luck, JQ. It’s going to be a photo finish. Excellent match to this point and don’t think we’ll go down without a fight if you intend to win this thing.

Love TC. Give them the coverage they need. Tier 1 needs its Dolyak parade.

For the Toast!

Today, at 7pm server time, there shall be no parading of yaks, only war.

Needs to be a way where all servers can have them. Far more NA playing a game on NA servers (surprise) leads to an understandably more limited population of Oceanics due to their lower population and the game is located on another continent. EU aren’t on our servers (mostly) because they have their own. WvW is 24/7 and I don’t see any other way to do it. Without Oceanic servers, it is simply the state of the game. EU has the same problem with any NA players over there (I’m looking at you, French Canadians).

Vodka.3958:

This guys so right. I have to admit I’m surprised seeing this come from someone from blackgate :/

fixed.

No no no, he SoR’s property now, you take care of him. Knowing his bandwaggoning nature, he probably came to BG from somewhere else i would say.

He was originally on TC. Shameful that he calls that his home when he is such an evil kitten.

Okay everyone, game-breaking news here: it is spelled WIPED and not whiped. If you wanted to spell whipped, that is your own personal business and is best left off the forums. Thank you.

You are only as good as those who follow you. Be respectful of your allies. Do not blame them for losses and stay positive. There is no general rule for how to conduct target priority other than using opporunity. Take camps before tick and rely heavily on scouting. Check any time white swords show up. Prioritize destroying the siege before repairing the wall. Don’t queue upgrades in a Tier 1 location with no supply built up (some exceptions to this). Get in VoIP and follow around another commander from your server. PM a commander you look up to and ask them to show you the ropes for a week by running with them. Educate yourself to all the nuance of WvW before throwing on that tag or you will be lost when you go from the tactical level of leadership on the field to the strategic level of leadership that generals use. Learn to play the map before you worry about being strong in the open field. Without a focused guild, it is difficult to win open field combat anyway so you are better off utilizing your forces as siege mules and choosing your battles carefully. Without a guild, pug morale is fragile. It is important to keep your forces in high spirits. Feed your armies karma and silver and they will follow you to the ends of Tyria.

I run a shout heal warrior with full PVT armor, soldier runes, and tanky dps (Cavalier, Knight, Valkyrie) trinkets/weapons. I use a hammer and sword/shield and am very survivable. I notice most successful commanders are front lines sort of players. A large part of this is likely the mindset that comes with people who play tanky melee classes, and also because it is hard to lead a charge on a glass mesmer.

I think of this badkitten video when I hear Choo :P

The trait that it would be replacing is based solely off of the profession’s unique resource/ability. Mesmers get shatters, Eles get attunements, Warriors get Adrenaline and Burst skills. If you want boon/condition swaps/removal, use a sigil of nullification, generosity, purity. It would make no sense to the warrior to remove boons, that’s what mesmers and necros are good at.

They have to either buff the damage that it does or change the trait line to be cooldowns instead of damage and have the damage be a grand master trait.

Vena.8436:

Esoteric.5490:

The one single compromise I can think of here is to make titles account bound and abilities based on each character’s time spent in WvW.

Isn’t that what it is now?

Titles are already account bound, the skills will be based on how much time a specific character spends in WvW.

Per example, they could be doing this in the vein of GW1 PvE skills: easy as butter to unlock, commitment requiring to actually make worthwhile.

As of right now, everything in WvW is account bound. What I am proposing is the “passive abilities” are unlocked based on the World XP you have per character. Titles should be account bound, even in the new system. This gives you more attainable account progression while it gives you meaningful character progression that still nets you ranks. This way, it isn’t discriminatory where each alt is its own entity. If every single alt has to start from square one, people won’t be able to play them if they want any sort of progression. The only way it won’t be awful in its planned state is if the titles are entirely too easy to get, and then it’s just about who can grind them faster and be max rank, which would still be terrible.

I have the underlying feeling that the only way they can justify progression not being retroactive is to make this character bound. All stats to this point are tracked per account. If they made this progression account bound, they would be forced to include all of the account bound stats that WvW players have accumulated thus far. ANet is entirely committed to balancing things for PvE players so they can’t possibly give us credit for the things we’ve already done. Making this progression system character bound is the only way for them to say “there is no way with the system for us to calculate retroactive achievements” since everything is account bound currently.

Basically, these titles and abilities need to be a grind to actually mean something and not be a dime a dozen. Since these titles and abilities need to be a grind to be meaningful, they need to be account bound or players who have alts will be restricted to having no progression to enjoy their characters or play one main in order to have progression.

The one single compromise I can think of here is to make titles account bound and abilities based on each character’s time spent in WvW.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t DAoC do something similar to this where it was based on character and not account?

I’d like to see an decrease in the cooldown of burst skills be the trait line and have additional damage be traitable for the grand master trait.

I can’t tell you the amount of times that I have Earthshaker back up at full adrenaline only to have to wait 4-5 more seconds.

Rising Dusk, good points. The only way that they can justify this system being A. Not Retroactive and B. Character Bound, is if maxing is possible in a short time similar to leveling. However, if sPvP and GW1 PvP ranks are any indication of how long it takes to get a rank, then we are in big trouble with this change. WvW players will lose months upon months of stats that they’ve compiled and people will be pigeonholed into playing one main or stuck without any recognition or progression to speak of because they like alts. There is a guy in my guild with 10 fully geared and max leveled characters. He will now be forced to choose one, and if it is a grind, he won’t get recognized with the nice shiny titles he should be getting for his WvW play. Titles mean less as well. It’s “oh you just play one character” instead of “hot kitten that guy is a kitten”

Should be account bound. Entirely discourages playing alts. Can’t fathom why it wouldn’t be account bound. Perhaps it’s another excuse to not make these things retroactive because of more statistics that they “can’t calculate”…

+1 Reslinal. ICoa does a hell of a lot of work on BG. They field massive numbers and pull late hours. You’d be a fool if you thought that isn’t significant. Every guild gets wiped once in a while. So what? It is of no consequence. Holly is very passionate about his guild. Hell, I’ve been there too, but I don’t let it bother me any more. Choo, I have nothing but the utmost respect for your guild and its leadership. I’d very much appreciate it if your members (or any others from your server) would stop making such blatant troll attempts. It cheapens the match and makes us all look like children.

TheDevilWithinU.7092:

Here ya go!

Thank you! You got some phat loots to pick up at the trading post! Must be from all those BG you’ve been farming

Holly, bro, now is the time to stop. Prove it on the field and leave it out there. I’ll let you count how many times in the last 2 months that I have touted KnT. You’d be lucky to find one time. Fight honorably and give praise to others on the forums, not sarcastic praise either, and they will do the same for you. I know there is animosity; rivalry is good, but an utter kittenstorm of a match thread is not.

Please just stop all of this. It’s getting absurd and I prefer to not have thread locks. Score update anyone?

Vodka (Hollywood Fiend) is one of the GM’s of ICoa.

To be honest, even in with a lack of coverage it is about doing all you can to keep your opponent’s coverage occupied. If a skeleton crew of 20 can hold of 70+ in an opposing garrison late into the night, that opposing crew misses a large portion of their prime time where they would have huge PPT trying to cap back something that should have never been lost. Too much tunnel vision limits what you can do when your maps have no queues

Thesilentflute.8761:

I am on in diff prime time every other day the ability and efficiency of EU and Oceanic is amazing because most are trained to play out maned. When it comes to US prime time it is mostly zerg on zerg with little mind for strategy or efficiency. Though multiple commanders play maps (thanks to lotd) the US prime time seems to favor pride over unified strategy.

The difficult therein lies with who is on a given map. If there is only one organized guild there with enough members for one main force and the map is full, as it is in NA prime, then unguilded or unorganized players make up the rest of the map. We do what we can with the resources we have. Do you join our community Teamspeak? I cannot speak for other guilds, but mine always has a strategy. I invite you to run with any guild of your choosing on VoIP; I promise it is a different experience.

Also, a difference to recognize between timezones is that Blackgate is a native NA server. Most players that WvW in off hours on our server play hardcore WvW without a large portion of unorganized presence. Their maps are not as full, but they have a higher percentage of “guilded” or “organized” forces" as opposed to NA prime.

Thesilentflute.8761:

The culture during NA is a lil sick where pride plays a larger roll than unity.*

I don’t think the thoughts of an individual should ever represent the culture of an entire server.

I also do not think that any server at this level is not unified. We are working on cohesion with our new brothers on Blackgate, but we are united.

Proumbro.1376:

Thesilentflute.8761:

I looked over the stream are you the only member of work? That’s really hardcore lol. Our NA prime time is 60% posers, 10% icoa, and 30% good guilds It’s so funny that it’s always the bads that chest thump.

I’m going to assume you are not from ICoa even considering you singled them out in your post. I don’t care how “good” you deem yourself to be or how “good” you deem the guild you hail from or your views on how “good” you believe some guilds are, you don’t call over half of your NA prime time allies “posers”. Heck, I wouldn’t even call 10% of your NA prime time “posers” just the handful of forum warriors that you have here.

Anyone that is dedicated to coming to WvW for the good of the server, and puts their time into helping do not deserve to be called that. Maybe a few forum warriors here that decide to claim others are “bads” and have nothing to back it up can be called that.

Have a little respect for you allies, seriously. Even I have a little more respect for them than that, and they are sworn enemies.

Good post. I see my respect for Choo is not misplaced. <3 you guys. Haven’t come across you all yet this week

It’s all about perspective. There are many times that my group has lost a keep while we were outnumbered. We measured our success in that we held out for an hour or more and kept the enemy forces there and kept our PPT up. That force also had success in that they took the keep and probably pushed us off the map. Since the game is about points, I will freely engage in situations where there is a 90% chance of death in order to keep that circle Red for just a few more seconds. More or less, as long as you did what you set out to do, it is success, whether it is measured by the scoreboard or not.

Guilds that fight and win in the open field, you are known and sometimes feared by your opponents. Guilds that play for PPT, those guilds that only fight in the open field don’t understand that you will go into a situation knowing that you will wipe just to accomplish something not immediately apparent (i.e. ninjaing a tower, flipping other camps, keeping them occupied so an upgrade can go through). It’s presumptuous for players to assume just because someone wiped that they are therefore “bad”. It’s just about perspective.

I don’t know how some people (Raven) can praise someone for being one of their good friends on a server and in the same breath spit on everything that said friend and his server have worked towards. He should be disregarded as a footnote in this thread as he was merely a footnote when we went back to Tier 1 the last time. While we were playing 10 hours a day, he was busy trying to pull guild members to do Arah and posting every other week on our guild forums about how we need to “PvE more” and that our “players aren’t geared” or are “underleveled”. All of which made me laugh. The thought that someone doesn’t have a full set of gear at this point in the game is laughable to say the least. Overall he is a negative attitude at its finest. Don’t be scared to tell him off SoR, you have my deepest sympathies.

To dispel any rumors. We assisted with transfer costs for players who needed the help. We did not buy any guilds and no guilds that moved here did so because of the promise of any sort of assistance. In fact, they did not receive a dime of help until most of their members had moved. They then had “skin in the game”, if you will. Indo said himself in his speech that they’d assist people with a fund if they’d already made the commitment to move there, which is highly respectable and therefore it would be hypocritical for anyone to talk about the actions of other servers helping guilds who wanted to call us home. All guilds that moved to Blackgate did so because of our community and our attitude. Speaking of which, I am very excited to hear OCX has moved to SoR and my best wishes for them and any others that would call your server home. You all are true competitors.

I respect all opponents that we have in this game. I may have had my personal differences with members of other guilds on other servers, but that does not mean I do not admire the fact that they show up every single day to try and spill my blood as I do the same to them.

There are other improvements coming as well. I believe I heard something about notification for your guild if you claimed a location that will tell you when it is contested. Seems like another layer of strategy assigning guilds to certains towers or keeps.

Stop with the kittentalking. Please…

A word to the wise, we’ve been in situations where we didn’t have the coverage to win, but that never meant that we didn’t compete when we were on. The only thing you have the power to change is your own map. Accept that and own it. Paint whatever map your server can field your color.

Claiming that you are wiping forces so that makes it okay that you are doing poorly as far as the map goes just seems like an excuse to not do the best that YOU can do at that time. I say this not to call out individuals or insult anyone, but rather to convey a greater philosophy. Who cares if your server is at +80 if you know that +80 is the work of your map and that you are standing strong against adversity. Fighting the overwhelming odds is one of the most courageous things one can do. Look your enemy in the face and say, “I will not yield.” At the end of the day, it does not matter who won and who lost, it matters that you left everything on the field.

Bear in mind that this is coming from the leader of a guild that plays absurdly late NA hours and, until recently, BG did not have the Oceanic presence to hold out against servers who did. We stood tall and we held the points we could. Fighting outmanned or not, we’ve stayed and fought to the last tower, the last camp. Who cares if your PPT isn’t the greatest? “Best NA” isn’t something that defines your server, it just chains you to an ideal that is not you. Your server is defined by your spirit. There is no reason that you have to feel like if you lose in a time zone where you thought you were “the best”, that you should make excuses and try to cheapen the success of others.

I listened to that speech and I respect the positive things that Indo said. I won’t go into what was utter nonsense because I don’t want to fight here, just share my perspective. The point is, I heard what Indo said, and I know that the guilds on SoR share his beliefs. You have all drank the Kool-Aid and you can all bring the heat, I’ve seen it first hand. Go out there tomorrow and if you are going to go down, do it swinging. Show your opponents why you are in Tier 1. Show them that you are here on your heart alone and that you need nothing else than your brothers in arms standing beside you as the hordes descend upon your keep. Every keep and every tower are pieces of SoR. Fight for your home.

Really well said speech. I’ll disagree that you all are the only server with an incredible community and the drive to fight outmanned, but the fire is there and I have nothing, but the utmost respect for SoR and its guilds.

/salute

It’s simple. Orange swords used to show up for everything (5 players hitting guards).

ANet has stated publicly that they do not like the fact that “zerging” is the current meta because it is not what they foresaw for WvW.

The institution of Orange swords for groups of 25 or more directly benefits smaller scale warfare, splitting forces, stealth, and hitting multiple targets simultaneously. A single force cannot cover 4+ objectives under attack without losing at least 1-2, even with a waypoint. Orange swords going away effectively discourages zerging. Guilds and servers will still try to get away with it, but the sooner forces wake up and run in smaller groups, the sooner those zergs find themselves being pretty ineffectual. Also, I realize this may be a bit extreme for T7/8, but it is honestly a good thing for the rest of the game.

I imagine undermanned servers love this change, though, as it lets them move and ninja keeps with a lot more tact and stealth instead of getting steamrolled every time they proc orange swords with 5 people at a camp.

Can we stop it? No server in Tier 1 hasn’t gotten a ton of transfers. End of story.

Whoever wins this week earned their victory because that’s what the scoreboard means. Weekends seldom mean anything other than being part of your final score. The real strides are made during the week. Every server has a chance to pull this out right now so let’s cool our jets and play some PvP.

Anyone else mad that our kills/achievements won’t count when the new title system is put in the game and that the last 7 months of play won’t count for anything other than “our experience in WvW and the fun we had”?

I’m not gonna make it easier for you to spot me :P

oruma.4092:

fine for openfield battles not fine for keep/castle

24 people can zerg any keep in seconds so orange >white

esoteric organisation? you would sit solo and guard watch towers and keeps with not getting any benefit while the rest has fun/loot/badges.
pretty sure i dont

My guild rotates players watching towers and keeps. We even have guard duty assignments to watch after other borderlands late at night when we have to start switching maps to keep our points up. I am the guild leader and I spend my share of time on guard duty as well. We take turns scouting white swords on the map. Being in VoIP is always fun talking to your guild mates or server mates. I don’t mind guarding something at all because after 15-30 minutes, we’ll swap someone else in to guard it. It’s about organization. You can’t expect everyone else to always scout for you or call out enemy positions for you. Take initiative.

Think about the organization it takes for ONLY 24 people to hit a keep so as not to make swords. I also think the swords count 25 total and not per side, but I’m not positive. Your server needs to match them with equal organization. I’ve seen forces of 40+ wipe repeatedly at a tower to about 15-20 people. It happens all the time because of coordination, siege, and communication to respond to threats. Orange swords are the lazy player’s method for map awareness. The proactive player with initiative, scouts objectives for their team and players that are selfless are willing to guard a castle while their team takes a tower, then someone switches with them. WvW is about teamwork on a large scale, not individual rewards. The loot, badges, and event rewards are laughable compared to anything else in the game if you wanted individual rewards.

Blackgate has always played well on the weekend. We will see what the week brings us.

Also, the true nature of WvW is designed to be a 24/7 war.

I’d really like to see SoR get some more guilds in the time zones that they need. It’s too early for me to tell what those are just yet as we haven’t played the new and improved version of them for even 24 hours yet or on a week day, but it would be very healthy for this tier to have all servers competing around the clock without major gaps

I like it. It encourages organization, higher level play and strategy. It is not PvDoor if you fool the enemy into being somewhere you aren’t and take their objective without resistance. Scouting is now a must. Guilds can also have better control over “silent running” instead of getting orange swords because some player who missed the memo wanted to hit the guards too.

To be honest, orange swords anywhere there was 5+ people completely destroyed opportunity for small group play. Alternatively, this discourages mega-zerging of 60+ players that is common in higher tiers. Run with 25 or less or have a huge target over your head everywhere you go. This is an update that actually BENEFITS smaller groups, which people have been demanding for months.

This is likely also designed to reduce strain on the system. Encouraging fewer players in an area should improve both lag and culling. I mean, people had to realize that ANet did not foresee huge culling problems because WvW was never intended to have the entire population of a map in a single murder ball. Larger maps would mitigate this effect naturally, but, until then, no orange swords for sub-25 groups should encourage people to communicate more, be more organized, utilize scouting, and have a much larger toolbox of tactics without a huge neon sign getting thrown over your head with only 10 people trying to take something.

White swords still tell you when something is contested. It is up to your server’s infrastructure to do the rest.

I’ve been really disappointed with the trash talk just in the first 3 pages of the T1 match thread. Some real kittens out there :/

(I actually said kittens. No censorship here!)

Great fights in EBG last night. Had a blast working with AoI.

Let’s keep the complaints and accusations out of this thread. File a ticket or send a report, but do not post it on the forums.

I’ve been very disappointed so far by the amount of trash talking and bashing on other servers or guilds. Say, “good fights,” on the forums and move on with your day.

How would this build apply to WvW? Care to make a version on this site? http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/

Seems to be really interesting, I just have difficulty trying to adapt sPvP builds to WvW based on the skewed stats from amulets.

We all have serious skill delay in huge battles. It becomes Auto-attack Wars 2.
