Guild Wars 2

What do you mean bad balance? Are you saying Frenzy is too powerful in PvE?

Hell yeah I use the rifle! I’m set up as axe+war horn/rifle. I think I’m running 10/30/0/30/0.
I really love using Opportunist trait against wvwers trying to get into a structure we’re sieging! After playing very defensive for a long time I put points into the precision tree and I’m really having fun with it.

Good question Dov. I’ve only experienced lag from opponent zergs, never allied ones. What’s up with that?

Jorna took us for a walk and he happened to fine this big empty castle… In unrelated news, we have a new castle.

Also, whoever the mesmer was up top after the capture, total win sending us flying off to the ground! XD

Adam.4103:

I don’t get why people actively choose to be bad in this game for the sake of being different.

If you’d like to provide mathematics supporting your claim that non-offensive support warriors are objectively bad I’d be happy to discuss it. Otherwise I’ll continue to give regen and cleanse conditions for my groups.

Dovgan.8605:

I’m not sure if people are just lazy or don’t understand that in order to keep a match close they need to attack whoever is in the lead. I have watched the point gap spread from 3k to 6k and now 9k between first and second, while 2nd and 3rd remain close in points.

It varies from commander to commander. Some people like to hit the winning team, some people like to hit the guy that’s easier to knock down.

Also, it was fun fighting ET at North camp in AR BL this afternoon! It really took some doing to knock you lads out of there.

I don’t see the point in skipping mobs. I’m not in that much of a rush to complete the dungeon I suppose. I don’t mind getting some blues and greens to harvest for Luck.

Recently a new in-game Looking For Group system was rolled out. This is a great way for players to find groups or advertise their own. I noticed that there is a section for Open World/WvW. I often advertise my group there, but since it has been implemented I have never once seen anyone else advertise their groups there. Perhaps people aren’t aware of the new LFG system, or perhaps they miss the WvW option since it’s not its own category.

Do people in your Server use the LFG system in WvW?

While communication is a huge hurdle for WvW, I don’t think that this would fix the issues I’ve encountered. If the average WvWer couldn’t use Map/Team chat I don’t think they’d be encouraged to group up, I think they’d be encouraged to keep doing their solo thing and never dare group up.

So, we cap our camp back from SF and this is the Dolyak we get from it. Doesn’t seem to have much sense of self-preservation.
I can only assume this is the genetic result of attempting to breed a golden Dolyak…

What build are you referring to?

sorrow.2364:

We are not asking to completely destroy warrior.
- Nerf to the insane passive regen at the cost of better active healing on signet or make the signet scale with healing power more, with way less base healing at low healing power

This is an interesting idea. I was really surprised when Anet chose to have Adrenal Health be more Healing Power inclined than Healing Signet. I would’ve thought the sustained heal would be the logical choice. If Healing Signet had a lower base, but scaled higher it would increase Warrior build diversity (at least in regards to healing skills) and eliminate any WarriongOMGWTFuberHealing complaints.
Of course changes would also have to be made to Healing Surge, but 9k+ HP & full adrenaline is plenty of room to work with.

Great action in ARBL tonight! First there were the fights with that female Necro in SE ruins, then barely managing to defend Hills from dem GoMs!
My highlight is definitely from the SE ruins. I ran up all those kitten stairs, just to get ambushed! Me and my AR pal fought the group of 4 briefly, and soon it became apparent we were not going to survive.
I see my ally go down and know hope is lost. With little HP to spare, I throw on shield stance and back towards the ledge, “You’ll never take Chops Mcgee alive, GoMmers!” I shout, turn, and dive off of the cliff! To my surprise, I wasn’t the only one:
Great sense of humor ASH!

Chopps.5047:

Make wvw unbalanced. That is all, have a nice weekend!

Could you elaborate? I assume the Warrior thing is related to stunlocking, but what about the others?

Well, we’ll see how leagues go.

Juan Ignacio.8903:

people stack becouse of the AOE cap, 30 people attack 5 people they will hit all of em… 5 people attack the 30 people the only hit 5.
by raising the cap or just eliminating it, the stupid warrior hammer drone/mindless train will become something that require to use at least a braincell.

Unfortunately the AoE cap has been stated to be a technical limitation that will most likely never be changed.
In regards to the ruins, I’ve had a couple of good small group fights there, but mostly saw no action.

Great fights all around tonight guys! In particular that blasted GoM elementalist who kept killing my Yaks RIGHT BEFORE I WOULD DOWN HIM! Or after I downed him for that matter.

Also, AR has classic cartoon characters on our side:

insanemaniac.2456:

seems like standard WAR fare to me.

Zing!
They do not know pain, they do not know fear, they will taste Invader flesh!

I’d suggest you stop using Bear Form.

kitten, why do I always misread your posts? Tactical Surge would be cool and encourage people to spend their Adrenaline instead of sit on it.
As for suggesting something better, I dunno man. Maybe something Boon related?

Tactical Surge: No
-Can’t use Adrenaline in Rampage, SoR gives passive Adrenaline already, so it would be pretty useless.

Healing Rage: No
Warrior has plenty of passive healing as it is.

Juggernaut’s Defiance is alright, but compared to Fast Healer it’s lackluster. Bump those numbers up and you might be on to something.

The Tactics Minor Traits could use a revamp, but not this one. The first two are alright, but Reviver’s Might is just dumb.

The Anvil Rock ship has hit rock bottom, cracked that kitten in half, and we’re bouncing back up, like a frenzied Quaggan looking to get his rites!
Enough belly aching, I say. Less raging, more raiding!

It’s very frustrating to be hit by a coordinated set of stun-lock warriors. If I ran with my own coordinated group maybe it would be less aggravating.

I had only tears to offer in our poor little BL.
Flaming tears

I just wanted to pipe in and also address my concerns for these HP warriors possibly hacking (they appeared to be stuttering as they moved?). Also, I see where Warrior stunlock hate comes from now.

The scores are pretty close.
I’d love to see GoM start putting more pressure on FC instead of us though. If 2nd place tries to dominate 3rd place, they tend to always miss 1st.

It appears to be a Norn racial weapon skin.

I’ve played around with Rending Strikes and it’s pretty bad sitting at 33% chance On Crit.

I feel like Vulnerability is what’s lackluster.

Weathering sieges in our corner of EB!
Score update:

insanemaniac.2456:

i see this as pushing the population problem completely into our hands, and weve already proven we cant handle solving it on our own between the rise and fall of random server communities (read: kaineng, et, sos, etc) and the existing and perpetual population imbalances.

I agree completely. There isn’t any way for a player on a server to promote WvW short of PMing everyone they see or spamming Map chat. I doubt the League system will bring the low tier servers any more WvW presence.
The League system is kind of interesting (Dolyak finisher!), but with the information we have so far it’s not going to make any big waves.

Interesting, I hadn’t considered environmental weapons.

I commonly will use Berserker’s Stance as I first engage in combat so I have those first seconds of the fight without being hit by condition damage.
As with most skills, I’d suggest ignoring the tooltip and checking the wiki for what it really does :/

“Grants immunity to unmodified conditions and gain 5 strikes of adrenaline per second.”

Good push by DR, you had a strong PPT all day from what I saw.
We were too slow to respond to the dual catas VS Veloka in EB tonight, but we’ll have our revenge.
FC, get outta our BL and shore up your EB presence! We gotta wipe that blue out of our zones.
AR, stay strong and fight the good fight! More siege!

Warrior 4 lyfe!

peter.9024:

I tried building valk + cav for a mace/GS build. However I found the vitality kinda wasted. I’m building berserker + cav now.

As in you had so much HP it was unnecessary? Because if so, I might run that XD

Great match so far! Had a lot of fun running in FC BL this afternoon.
Good fights from both sides.
We’re both coming for that #1 spot , Fergusaurus!

(Luda drops some intense WvW wisdom here, “Some would rather run down and get one cow (nah), I think I’d rather walk down and get ’em all.”)

What is your trait set up and what sort of gear are you using?

According to the wiki it’s per unique boon. Also, some people seem to think it’s bugged at the moment and not providing the amount of damage it’s supposed to.

WvW:
I find the Warhorn is great is group situations for timely Blasts and condition removal. My main use of it is for escorting Dolyaks. Between the Warhorn and a Banner it’s stupid easy to keep the Yak’s swiftness up 100% of the time.
I feel like I should caution you about Cleric’s gear. While Banner Regen is good, it scales the worst from healing power. I’d only get some if you’ll have other ways to heal your allies via Sigils or something too.

Good video! Love to see some Warriors getting work done out there.

My favorite part of OP’s screenshot is the “I am not ready.” on the left side XD

I think an ideal solution would be for stomped players to instantly rez at their primary waypoint. This will eliminate stomped players getting zerg rez’d and scouting.

The only negative I could see would be players who die from falling damage. It would suck to fall off a cliff and die only to be teleported when there’s someone right there who could rez you.

cheshirefox.7026:

and a ram             

Sorry, this is how I was taught to siege by my Norn father. Is it wrong? I mean, he was drunk at the time… but he’s always drunk.

Also I just saw that there’s a guild on GoM named For Grape Justice. I SALUTE YOU!

I run Rifle in WvW when I want to stack a bunch of Vulnerability between Rifle #4, On My Mark, Axe #2, and Rending Strikes.

Practicality aside, this would be fun.

I haven’t used either but I think you answered your own question.

Hoelbrak rules.

Because not everyone wants to be a Thief and there is, theoretically, no single ‘best’ anything in this game.

Sanguinius.4809:

why go to eb? it is a silly place…

I usually use kick for its interrupt on enemy heals.

biggkurt.6493:

Cygnus.6903:

Weak to fire…

Shake it off.

Perfect XD
