Guild Wars 2

Dagger/Dagger for normal mobs, Axe/Focus for stronger mobs, like vets+. It’s been working great for now. (lvl 52)

I’m used to Warrior and Thief, and i almost everytime click 2-3 times on DS, which makes me leave the form and go on CD.
Does anyone have the same problem? Would be a good idea if add 1s CD after you enter DS?

Uhmm.. craft them into an Emp Star? It takes 100 shards to make 1 Star.

If you honestly have 27000 of them you can easily get a full stack of Stars and craft your Ascended Gear.

I have full ascended gear, weps and armor… and now these shards are useless to me…

and yes I do have 27k+

Why can’t you craft ascended for you other chars? My warr have full gear and all 11 weapons, including underwater. Now i’m working on ele, then thief, mesmer, engineer and guardian.

Well although I do have alts they are not important enough to me to spend the kinda gold on them to gear them in ascended, I play WvW 90% of my game time on 1 character as that is my thing, just as alts are obviously your thing or perhaps u just have so much gold you can afford to gear them all.

Actually i don’t have that much gold. But i don’t have anything to do in this game either. All them are 80, and i really don’t like of the legendary weapons, so the only thing to do right now is farm iron, platinum, logs and silk, then craft ascended stuff for them.

Then you have something to do with all the shards, but not everyone is going to gear 5 alts in ascended gear.
I just want a new recipe, perhaps for sharpening stones that requires these shards, that would be perfect.

If you look on your Collectibles tab, Ascended Items, you will see that there is 2 yet not released mats, so you should save your mats for the Jewler/Chef update.

1.5 second duration
1.5 second ICD
Non-stackble

Done.

Well, for mesmers and necros tough is better because they have higher base hp. But for ele mix tough and vit is better than have only one of them. If you have the usual 10 Earth 30 Water get only Knights, but if it’s something like 10 Earth 0 Water, find some Sentinel, Valkyrie or Celestial.

Terrahero.9358:

Why nerf EotM which is still faaaaaaar worst then PvE? They should buff rewards in WvW.

The spite is getting stupid. Lets force people into WvW by just making EotM worst. No, wrong! Make WvW better!

Must be the same kind of player that wants to remove stealth from thieves, remove healing signet from warriors, remove CC from engineers…
They don’t want to make their main class better. -.-’

ZudetGambeous.9573:

I don’t need mounts, but an OOC 100% run speed bonus would be nice. I ran 10 minutes to catch up with my zerg, got gunned down by a gank squad and had to go all the way back to the beginning. I just quit at that point, that is in no way fun.

OG have Altar to be immune and fast.

1. Mesmer
2. Engineer
3. Elementalist

A lot of players complain about BP > HS combo, so why don’t make it Smoke shield instead of stealth? Fire shield works this way, and should be stackable too.

Every hit you take blind your opponent and give you swiftness(3s). Stackable. They still can follow you, but can’t do enough damage.

Only for Smoke field + Leap, Blast would still be area stealth.

This would work mainly for shatter or condition builds, as power damage builds don’t really need clones or shatter skills (except for F3-4).

Clones
All clones have the same mesmer’s stats, like Nourishments, charged Mantras, Bloodlust/Corruption/Perception, Applied Strength and Guild Banners. They wouldn’t share boons, conditions or special effects like Quickness or Daze.

They move according with their “role”. If they are scpeter/staff clones, they will move away from the target, if they are sword clones will chase the target…
Could keep the same auto-attack cast time.

Shatter
When you use F1-3 all illusion will instantly blink to the target with the same Blink visual effects and then explode in 1/2 (maybe 3/4) second animation.

This would fix the issue with illusions wandering around because of the terrain.

Enemy targeting (not sure if would be OP)
Everytime that a mesmer create a clone, with weapon skills, traits or utilities, the enemy target (wvw and pvp only) will switch to them.

This would be a good option for non-stealth builds, but i think it would be too OP for the already hard-countered stealth builds.

What do you guys think about the proposed changes?

Out of 6 classes, i play in WvW with 4 of them: Warrior, Thief, Elementalist, Mesmer.
They all have traits to support condi removal: Dogged March/Cleansing Ire/Mobile Strikes, Shadows’s Embrace/Pain Response, Cleansing Wave/Cleansing Water, Cleansing Conflagration.

If you go to WvW or PvP without traits to remove conditions, believing that your utilities are enough you deserve to die.

Berserker will still be the best DPS gear. They CAN’T make a set with vit or tough have better DPS. Maybe if we had Condition Damage/Precision/Condition Duration stat, but still wouldn’t be good because of the 25 max stacks.

Or make skill finishers (except projectiles) be able to combo twice at maximum in a single field.
I believe that the only skills able to do 3+ finishers are HS, Cluster Bomb and Ele’s Lightning Swing.

Protection on CnD? Yeah, that would be awesome for P/D condi thieves

But no, seriously, this will break D/D builds.

ulcimql.2516:

It’s just another warrior only goodie that could be considered a bug. Every other profession’s F-skills go on full cooldown and the involved resources get spent even if they don’t hit anyone.
Logic dictates that warrior spends all adrenaline even if his burst skill misses to hit. That would be the obvious and most reasonable way to do it.

I believe most people will agree that it’s to be expected that anet is going with the exact opposite of common sense once again by letting warriors keep their adrenaline on miss.

It would be good too. Cleansing Ire would work even if we don’t hit anyone.

Me Games Ma.8426:

Doesn’t work always. Sometimes he’ll just rush through my clone and try to hit me. the clone doesn’t bodyblock him and it doesnt take the target away.

But here’s a little example of what i’m complaining about:

Warrior hits F1 out of range: No adrenalin spend no normal cooldown
Mesmer hits F1 out of range: all illusions die, F1 gets full cooldown

A missed attack should be on cooldown even if it’s a warriors attack.

I never used Axe in PvP, but the hammer burst goes on cd if i dont hit anyone, 8-9 seconds. Same for sword and rifle.

The only burst weapon skill that doesn’t require a hit is longbow.

Zardul.3952:

i chose Zerker as top DPS. but with the 10% reduction in dps to zerker gear.
i find that Dire, carrion or Rabid gear will provide better DPS.

we all play the game how we want. and with these changes, and all the effort i put into getting acended zerker gear.
i feel cheated.

i would like to be able convert my gear to a tanky condition. ( dire , Rabid, carrion )

Seriously? Do you think that somone who gave up toughness and vitality deserves to have the same (or lower DPS) than someone with tough/vit, tough, vit armor (dire, rabid, carrion)?

Fortus.6175:

Agreed; on evade, on miss and on block. If the person is actively trying to counter the attack then it should be rewarded specially since it takes a WHOLE lot of experience and skills in order to pop the evade/blind/block at the right time considering there is absolutely no counter to stealth, and the stealthed person currently loses absolutely nothing in the current way of things

You are not taking damage. Tell me why didn’t you counter them on evade/miss (blind)?

Reveal should be applied only on block (aegis).

Exactly what they said, for PvE go full zerker 25/30/xx/xx/xx.

But in WvW (not sure about sPvP) conditions are really strong. And for a condi thief you dont need precision or crit dmg, that means you can go full dire for 2,8k armor and 20k health, so you’ll be very tanky.

P/D 0/0/30/20/20 is the only way i can survive an 1v3, 2v5 fights.

I have this problem with Heartseeker. I press 2 for a split sec but he jumps 1-3 times.

Thats it, always in combat when i respawn. Fix this pls.

Nikkinella.8254:

Xunleashed.5271:

that’s just stupid, but it’s obvious that they don’t play their own game…

Oh they do play it actually. They just all play warriors. and thanks to mobile strikes as well as the ridiculous amount of condition removal they have with cleansing ire and the passive immunity to cc they can trait for, immobilize doesn’t exist for them. I’ve seen lots of people with Anet tags in game, and have yet to see one that isn’t an asuran warrior.

Dont be stupid, without mobile strikes you cant remove conditions with cleansing ire when using axe, gs, sword, mace and hammer burst if the enemy is not close to you.

And i’ve seen plenty anet devs running with thief, ranger and ele, but only one warrior.

Stance is absurd, my thief’s elite skill have 36s cooldown. They should reduce Mending to 15s and cure 1 condition per second during 5s after activation and improve heal.
Defiant Stance and Healing Surge to 20s.

When Anet change Prowess to Ferocity, will it be part of the +10 to all stats? And if so, can you make the extra +2% Critical Damage be +2% Boon Duration?

That would be great.

Tiger Ashante.1792:

Regardless of what others think, I would like to add my voice of approval. I love the new armor, it’s sleek, lots of work and detail has gone into this and I really appreciate you guys doing this and IMO it looks nothing like the feathered or any armor in the game that I’m aware of.

Big Kudos to the designers, really, really awesome job!

Are you sure? Look the difference between them. It has very low quality flames.

The new skin is still better than medium/heavy armor, but it’s not even close to the T3 reskin.

Pip.2094:

Auesis.7301:

Fotm offers:

1) Pathetic guaranteed rewards (I can make 5x the gold of a 49 run, Dredge included, just by running a casual AC)
2) Pathetic RNG on new reward systems (haven’t seen a single Fractal weapon since the Fractured patch. At least I got 12 Warhorns and 4 Torches before.)
3) Terrible scaling and dungeon design, biggest culprit being Dredge. Instead of fixing the actual dungeon and making it any measure of fun, they fix workarounds and extend the length even more, completely blind to the actual problems.

Thanks, I’ll stick to normal dungeons. I’ll have Frostfang and Bolt by the time I get a Fractal Axe and Sword. Just for the record, I’ve been trying for either of those, every single day on 30s and 40s, FOR OVER AN ENTIRE YEAR.

^ This is just so absolutely true and right. You could not have said it better!
I won’t bother to even waste anything else to get even 1 more AR to go over level 30. Only reason I’m running FotM is for the backpacks. (Since, so far, I’ve not seen a different way to get yourself an exotic zerker backpack and no, I won’t be crafting 3 Ascended backpacks for the 3 chars I like to play in dungeons.)

Well, you need to do FotM a lot to get your 1350 relics, maybe 30 runs (1-9). In 50 dungeon runs (they are shorter) you can get ~70g. Enough to buy ~200 T6 mats. You’ll probably find rares which you give you 50 globs easily, same for skill points and Bloodstone Dust drop from all champs.

I was in EotM, seeing ppl run into the walls, then game crashed and now i can even log in LA.

Hey, what if anet make the traits different for wvw and pve? Just like spvp.
I wouldn’t mind have 3s discounted everytime i switch between wvw/pve.

Well, as a warrior we can use (and carry :/ ) almost all weapons, so you can balance the sigils for each one of them.
GS Force, Axe Bloodlust, Mace Battle, Warhorn Battle, Hammer Force/Paralyzation/Impact, LB Accuracy, Rifle Force/Perception, Sword Energy, Shield Hydromancy (WvW).
If you only play PvE, you could replace Force for Night, or an specific dungeon mob.

We have Warrior’s Sprint (Discipline Adept III). And GS have good mobility skills, #3 and 5.
About the 3rd set in inventory, you need to pay attention when salvaging. Have weapons with uncommon icons helps a lot.

Carpboy.7145:

It is annoying a lot of times. I generally cancel it once it gets me fairly close to my target. but ive hit an up leveled for 9k with it before. I two shot him with blade trail and rush.

You can crit some bosses for 14k with potion, might and vulnerability on them.

The defend cannon sub-event and the Lyssa fight is really laggy. Skills don’t work and the FPS is lower than 1 sometimes. I notice this lag a few days ago, but after the last patch we can’t complete it.

Locuz.2651:

The problem isnt healing signets healing output. The problem is that you dont need to use the active. The only way to fix this is to make the active a crucial part of healing signets healing output.

I would do something like this:

Passive: 200 hps
Active + a bonus heal overtime that add up to 600 HPS within a 10 second timeframe.

This is not a problem, only because warrior doesn’t need to use his healing skill.

Warr swap weapons all the time. Our APM is higher than necro, guardian, thief and ranger. I won’t count mesmer because they may use their shatter skills often.

What if i have GS with Force/Battle and Axe/Mace with Bloodlust/Battle, because of the Fast Hands can i still stack 6 might? And if i have Force/Night(or Undead) on GS?

Flintbrow.7985:

Where’s an Asura, all up in the air n’ stuff?

Here!!

This will only make parties be filled with Battle Standard warriors. zerker obviously

Coldkiller.3781:

That’s not what I meant :\

I meant that most of the UI is almost invisible,

The party with the bag setting and the X that you click to close it are not there.

Are you sure?
The X to close the window is over the Black Lion TP icon, and the party is hidden because of the inventory, but you still can see their boons. And he is using the compact party UI.

I have the Phalanx armor with Scholar rune. Can i transmute it to ascended gear and keep appearance and rune, and the stats and infusion slot from the ascended?

Portal Master.9146:

Let’s face it – playing anything other than a zerker warrior in a dungeon is a bad idea. Defensive warriors are for WvW not PvE. Even people who say ‘play how you want’ are fooling themselves. It will be a bad experience and you will waste a lot of your time and others time by the group quitting mid-dungeon.

ProxyDamage.9826:

Full berserker is the only right answer in PvE. If you’re not full berserker you’re doing it wrong.

If you join a party with a clear set of standards and goals you don’t match you’re either trolling or a kittening idiot.

mahariel.4981:

But a partial is fine as long as you can stay alive and do dps. Better to do decent dps the whole time than good dps 1/4 the time and have the rest of the group have to stop dpsing to rez your sorry kitten .

Well actually it’s not, because otherwise you end up with situations where a berserker user can sit in defeated state in a fight for X amount of time and still be averaging out to have higher DPS than someone using a low DPS setup.

Follow this and you’ll be fine.

After 4 hours i still can’t join any group. Fix this!

I wish we could do that. The closest to it is craft cooking buying most of the ingredients with karma.
http://www.gw2crafts.net/cooking_karma_fast.html

When i click to join a group and it fills right before the click, it says that i can’t join anymore because i did it too many times and need to wait. -.-

Hey, i want to get back to wvw, since i almost stop playing for the last month, and i want to respec my mesmer, so i’d like to know which build work better for roaming right now. And it’s more fun.

Keep in mind that i want one effective against thieves, because thats what i most find in my way.

Condi PU/daze build: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fgEQNAW7flwzKqnRTmGb9IipHBHyBckUUavWJFz2FC-jEDBINERzUgAUFKaEBwZSFRjtsuIas6FYaTpWlKR6YAOEp2HQRTIAHzBA-w

If you are down leveled you may not see the change. Go to a main city or higher lvl maps and you will see the difference.

It’s funny because they don’t know that anyone can buy more character slots and roll a warrior. lol
I did that, he is my 6th toon and it’s been great until now. But not as fun to play as engineer or elementalist.

You should be asking to buff Rangers IMO. Your class sucks, and you should be ashamed for come here saying that you waste so many time playing a kitten class.

McWolfy.5924:

hammer aa 3 is an aoe. tadaam

I wish you read my original post… every weapon has a cleave which is a form of aoe, you can hit multiple targets in-front, i am talking about actual condition…

Cleave hits 3 targets, aoe hits 5.

Swagg.9236:

You guys can go ahead. I’m having a literal blast on my staff ele in pvp.

Yeah right!? OP is blind, staff ele is better than before. Elementalist isn’t only d/d. Actually, if you like d/d so much go play thief.
