Guild Wars 2

Well talking about ele :
1) DS suck , 2 hits and no more condi immune ,expect you play full condi for the ultimate faceroll.
2) The last time i see a signet ele is nearly 1 year ago ,and he got no ideals what he’s doing . Btw ,expect signet of res ,these other signets is rarely use in combat .
3) Immune crit when you turn to earth only ,yeah ,cool ,i can survive again backstab thief.And if i want to beat him ,i cant only use earth skill set ,then i need to swap to these other ,no more crit immune ,thief will be happy ,thief steath and thief backstab again .Yay !
4) Look at healing signet of warrior.

A-net , if im not wrong in my guess you guys want ppl to play condition more in pve ,right ? then why dont you just increase condi dmg in dungeon or making some boss immune to crit like those tree boss in TA ? You make Pvp off balance with that ,to many way to counter DPS (Imune to dmg ,retaliation ,tougness,crit dmg nerf .. )but not enough couter on DOT (condi remove not enough and to much condi to spam). And MOSTLY ,condi spam are from range weapon , i can understand why range weapon cuz the ideal u guys thinking is about a kiting and killing slowly playstyle ,let your opponent die in pain. I like that ideal but since the condi buff i can say spamming conditions killing fast as the same a DPS build ,and more safe ,low risk ,no ,it’s faceroll and though yourself “god mode” .So, i got few choices for you guys about balancing condition ,but do or not is your decision ,it’s just my opinion:
(1) reduce the condition dmg and condition duration ( or just 1 instead of 2)
(2) make retaliation and tougness work as a condi couter as well ,reduce condi dmg with tougness ,reflect condi with retaliation .
And there always a 3rd choice :
(3) Both (1) and (2).
Thank you for reading .

Can only say well done for ya)

Weapon swap ,not attunement ,and to attunement count as a skill ,not weapon
How sad

P Fun Daddy.1208:

“This video is private”
I can’t watch it

same here
shocked with this than what inside your videos

Why you learn Pvp in tournament ? All you need is go to hot join ,learn how to cap ,how to def ,how to deal with faceroll /easy mode build and copy them if you want,then you can go to tournament later .but you skip it ,why pve farmer ? Why ? You ruin the game ,make a 5v5 become a 4v5 or 3v5 by chasing a guy out points ,ignore to cap when no one there,running out of the point when enemy comming before try to fight back. It’s you ,you make the toxic by yourself ,not us ,long time pvpers.
I can suffer 1 or 2 or at least 3 matches with player like you .But it’s doesn’t simple is just few matches ,it’s day by day suffer with you,pve farmer .
Once again ,please go to hot join first ,No one take the backpack from you ,no one take champ bags from you ,it’s still there ,just time .
Always scared each time clicking solo q button ,hopping you guys in the other ,not my team , but then ….

Every classes have they low risk/easy mode/faceroll builds .
Ele’s not ,give us one A-net .

Currently i play S/d fresh air in pvp (mostly) and some others build .I can say alot of players roll ele cuz of d/d . D/d looking cool and fun more than stand in place drop aoe by staff like a true spellcaster . Btw ,just play what you enjoy most .

Nhalx.9735:

Just remember to focus the legendary weapon users first. They die the easiest.

Not a thief with a poc poc pistol and firery dagger . And some others too . I got my mid-tiger before patch by my ele and “meteor right hand ,incine left hand” .

100 gold first i saw on TP ,then 75 ,70,69,45 and now it’s around 5x gold. Let’s pve farmer buy it ,dont let them ruin Pvp just because of that backpack.

But now it suffers the same problem as a legendary item. People don’t think much of legendary items because it really doesn’t represent a persons skill. Either represents how much they can grind or how much gold they have.

Now the supposed skin for Pvpers to show off that we PvP is purchasable for only 58g, whats the point. Hundreds, if not thousands of players could easily buy this right now. That means if I decide to wear it, many people may think I just bought it instead of actually doing PvP to earn it.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for offering gold as a way around specific types of content. However, if you’re going to do that to PvPers, you gotta be fair. Make ascended armor and weapons sellable/purchasable on the TP. It’s unfair that it requires you to level up a crafting profession to make. Also do it for the WvW season 2 weapon skins. If their reasoning that they dont want stuff locked to a specific content type, those are. Fractal weapons too. Those are locked to only fractals, gotta make them purchasable.

Now Imagine if they did what I said above. The forums would explode. Rage would be overflowing. I just dont understand why they would do it for PvP. I really hope they add in ladders with ladder specific items that you can’t buy on the TP.

Sorry i dont follow (clearly dont understand)what are you saying .Why you bring WvW season 2 ,ascended stuff sellable on TP ??

Rezz.8019:

My tip of the day is: do not use mass invisibility skill on the point you are trying to defend (already have it captured).

Do not steath when you def.

that’s e-sport .

Swim.6830:

Are you sure a thief didn’t steal your boons though?

I’ll pay more attention and test this as well.

Yeah ,but warrior hammer on me ,and no mesmer or thief that time.
Gonna check it again to make this clearly.

Seem legit more than stand in place ,randomly swing ur sword and * evade *.

Problem is pushback spam .Problem is bomb and garnade condi in the hold arena ,and not enough condi clear for those beep.
Watever ,condispam4lyfe ,facerolltraits4lyfe.

Still can be stunned and dazed after pop it up .Fix it quick plz or tell me clearly that’s new kind of stun and daze.

Ele is so OP.

I got my hambow imba crit build to soloq and hammer an ele. He attuned to earth and I can’t crit! While I’m astounded by that imba-ness, the ele disappeared leaving me in shock. 5 seconds later he came back, so I was like Pin Down, and w t diamond skin. Then the Ele one shot me in 20 seconds with burning and Fire Grab. So imba! Much power! Many crits! Please nerf!!!

P.S: please nerf rtl and LF. Ele’s HP is too high, it can’t have more mobility, or else my hambow warrior can’t chase it around

Ah.. uh … sir ,Stone Heart and Diamond Skin CAN’T work together …. they both GM traits …

You totally missed the point of this thread. I recommend you read from the start again.

I don’t need to read again. just showing sh and ds can’t work together i ,jk jk if u don’t get it .Sry if you are cool ppl who don’t want to jk

Just like this ,get all 3 points ,stand and waiting .You can rotate with your friends when farming.
After April 15 we gonna busy to kill alot of fake dragons lol.

Lol that’s not skyhammer farm, it was when 10 people would join each team, meet at mid, and fall into the hole and all make 300 points within 2 minutes. Yes, it was already fixed.

Do you even lift … i mean read the comments ?

1 year ago i reroll my ele as a thief counter …
And now im thief breakfast .
.

If you’re an ele you are everyone’s breakfest

and sometimes snack.

Not in WvW.

Yes ,that’s right bro ,ele still have change to win in wvw ,but dont try in pvp.

1 year ago i reroll my ele as a thief counter …
And now im thief breakfast .
Actually i still have some chance to kill a thief as a solo roam situation .Strike frist .burst hard ,they gonna steath/tele and strike back ,try to pop A.shield right on time ,burst hard again.
Dueling clearly no chance.

that’s what i use currently. Will change something after patch .

Simon.3794:

clearly you don’t know whats a skyhammer farm and its been patched according to anet.

Oh yeah ,i was sry about the “skyhammer farm”title ,it’s just like 1 guy get all 3 points for everymaps ,but i roll 3 skyham farm in a row and then that title

It’s up to you .go gw2skill.com ,make a build ,try to balance the stats you want .try knight mix zerk armor with caliver + zerg trinket,that what i run currently .Gearing an ele is hard ,bro.

Yes ,Strengh is good with sigil of battle ,too.After 4/15 Rune of Strengh will be one of the best choice for burst ele since crit dmg got nerf .

Well sry guys ,i just feel like upset and duck up when i make this thread . I just click the play now button and it’s send me to skyhammer farm rooms like 3 in a row.Sry again guys ,I just feel sick with that rank farm,it’s ruin this game .

Why don’t you go to solo-queue or even teamq?

My last team queue was taking away 17m of wating ,and i try to avoid skyhammer on solo queue since i have no change to win again decap engi inside hammer room.

Mine is 0/30/25/0/15 ,Scholar or Divinity ( that all i have ) ,sigil of Force ,battle or bloodlust, dont go full glass ,mixing with caliver or solider with berzerk and valk.
VI X XII
VI IX
reduce arcana or vigor ,up to u

Well sry guys ,i just feel like upset and duck up when i make this thread . I just click the play now button and it’s send me to skyhammer farm rooms like 3 in a row.Sry again guys ,I just feel sick with that rank farm,it’s ruin this game .

yummcha.9456:

Dumb.

A lot slower than team queues (winning 50%), and probably even slower than actually playing and carrying hotjoin scrubs.

You can bring back the term “skyhammer farm” when people are jumping into glass panels and getting 10k rank an hour, kthnx.

I never farming rank point ,so i dont know about how much rank point those farmer can get in 1 hour like u know .Im sry if “skyhammer farm” title bother you ,but i believe getting all 3 points without someone interrupting will be faster than playing a HJ match or Tournament. And the meaning of " farming" is you doing 1 job again and again to get as much as possible the thing u want ,here’s the same with that.
Again ,Im sry about the “skyhammer farm” title ,i think this is a new type of rank point farm.

Just like this ,get all 3 points ,stand and waiting .You can rotate with your friends when farming.
After April 15 we gonna busy to kill alot of fake dragons lol.

No longer stick with ele in Pvp ,but still in Pve and WvW.
PS : I swear to god i never try decap on my engi i play rifle burst

Sighhhh …..
Because DPS build is too mainstream and condi spammer can no longer use it ….

Spaming evade ? Spaming blind ? Spaming steath ? Not enough ?

HJ heroes will .

Kuper.2641:

lol, Get on my level son.

Mother of queue …

Wispy.8679:

Team arena at perhaps the time of day with the lowest population, not sure what you expected but 10-20mins in queue is normal.

At this time before a-net remove those reward chests ,i just need to queue about 1~5m ,bro .

Take a pic every 30s .finally got a match at 17:47 with a bunch of hambow and decap in other team :v

Tengu race and a new wepon look like halberd ,that’s all i know.

You dont need to worry about Ostrich, he will be fine … or maybe …or not …
Whatever ,let’s Phoenix become an icon , and Dragon will be a legend .
Rush to mid bear to dragon ,what are you thinking A-net? Pokemons with the Evolutionary Stone ?

Staff bunker 0/0/30/20/20 Stone heart focus build.
Sigil of enegry , Cleric/soldier amulet .
Faceroll mode again thief (Hope it).

You can’t just walk in and expect them to change something because you don’t like it. I think most scepter skills are fine anyways.

Try to use dragons tooth when you’re foe is knocked down. Gale-> dragons tooth or updraft->dragons tooth. Use water 2 on top of yourself when a thief is in stealth. Use air 3 to instantly blind heavy hitting skills (evisc, killshot, signet of spite, etc..).

Fire 1 does suck though…

Sorry but if Fire 1 good enough ,we dont need Fresh Air
Dragon tooth on knockdown foe ,yeah ,sure, why not ,but our knock down is high cd ,and when u miss it , u must way about 40~50s for another “maybe” success hit .
Water 2 is slow and small Dps ,does thief need to avoid it ?

“Fire 1 does suck though” – me. Wait hang on. Where did i say it was good enough?

Dragons tooth has more than just that use. You can force melee classes off of you with it. You can cast it over downed people. You can force people off point with it. You can generally control a fight with it. I don’t see how it is a bad skill. Fighting isnt all about DEEPS DEEPS DEEPS. You have have to think and be able to control your opponents movements… Just because a skill doesn’t hit, it doesn’t mean it was useless.

As for water two… yeah its pretty awful. It needs a buff. But you might as well make use of what little use it has.

Somehow you are right about DT ,we can force a melee class breaking combo for a bit to avoid ,but not like they will run far away .1 dodge and problem solved. that’s what i meant

Any Dev ? No one ?

Okay, quick saying guys :
Fire AA is slow and terrible ,long casttime with little burning ,Dragon Tooth is hard to land and easy to dodge ,it like in the air 2cd before drop.
Water 2 totally useless ,no need to explain for it .
Air 3 is good ,but how about rework it like staff air 2 and signet of air ? aoe blind will be good more than a single blind with 10s cd. I will love if it have a little DPS in there.
Please check this Anet balance team ,cuz Evan Lesh tell me may make a topic about this.

Evan Lesh.3295:

May Air 3 got some Dps and aoe blind like signet of air and staff air 2 ? Plz say yes , im dont want to stick with Fresh Air anymore ,when it is the best way to play scepter.

#offtopic #ImJustaProgrammer
