Guild Wars 2

20.000 points over the night? Good job, really impressive!(coming from an Elona player). However I still dont think you deserve the 3rd place in the gold league.

I´am just curious where you got this manpower from for the night? I heard some rumors about it…

Yrvald.8971:

without Sfr you would be third since monday and far from us

Yeah, probably.

Yrvald.8971:

stop taunting, even if you finish second you can’t handle us alone

Ahaha

You know that the only reason you placed 2nd is due to your nightcapping, right? Over the day we(Elona) wipe you JS guys like 8/10 times(if we catch you, because you usually use a waypoint if we want to fight you). Now you cant get tons of points over the night, because SFR isn´t playing with you and all of you guys are mad…saying “Elona sold their souls”

Romek.4201:

not elona decide this matchup – you pvD heros at night do it when we on elona sleep

so stop your whing and move on and make your pseudowar with sfr – maby grow some balls and play when sun is shining – would bring you more pointz??

pfft – like lil girlz

and most on elona dont care who is 1 2 or 3 at end of the league – everyone know who will win it before league even started so noone care bout

Exactly!

cazza.6078:

Who in Germany seriously cares about a multi timezone night cap league that they never can win?

Problem is, that Elona and other german severs like Riverside are better than servers like JS(over the weekend, where we had enough players, we(Elona) had +6K Points on JS) or Baruch(same story). We lose the match ups due to nightcapping and to be honest with you, it pi..ses me off a little bit

However, in the end it´s all about the fun

Had the same problem. Solution: spawn fgs. Spam 1,3,4(for dps AND mobility) and kill this easymode(stealth + heatseeker spam requires so much skill :O ) class

90% of the thieves wont even touch you, because 90% of thieves are bad players.

See what you did, Anet?

http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1rind1/flamekissed_armor_seriously/

Adding PvE events to WvW(Anet: “Nothing will change during WvW seasons”) and now this. Well done, Anet. Well done!

war.3790:

Good morning Elona <3

Your Langor was too far to run to, so we made a WP

Did you know this is ONLY better coverage?
Don’t be arrogant.. this don’t show we are better than them..

At least someone from SFR with nice(and true) words – thank you for that

My prediction:

1. SFR
2. JS
3. ER

Elona will lose the 2nd place due to night capping from JS. I cant believe JS is 3rd place right now…they run away from so many fights(EB) and just behave stupid in some situations, it´s unbelievable. We(Elona) had way much better enemies during this season, which are placed < 3 right now.

However, wish all of you some nice fights

Everyone I know hates the Living Story content in WvW. Some commanders on my server wanted to know what the ANet guy smoked, when coming up with the stupid idea of putting PvE content in WvW…annoying.

Please Anet, NEVER EVER put PvE content in WvW. Thank you(and remove this toxcity crap as fast as possible please). Also, please stop lying towards us, saying “We wont change anything in WvW during leagues”…you did. And it failed.

Hey,

I wanna go for this build(it´s the build “intigogw2” uses): http://de.gw2skills.net/editor/?fEAQJAoYhMmkbwx5gjDAkHm4CLiCPUeMTO2A-jEEBYgAYjgkIgUBAJfCiZPKrlhRs6KZlXBVbDT5CV7CWFTIyIGzaeI1G0QyAoPGA-w

After the 10th Dec patch, will something change on this build? I dont want to lose my fractal relicts on gear, which I won´t use anymore after the patch.

Thank you

I have two warriors and one ele on 80, which I play both. Yes, I agree that warriors are overpowered – no doubt about it. But thiefs are too(inbound for flame in 3,2,1…). I dont have a thief on 80, but I know how the basic mechanics work. Thiefs are easy to play and they hit hard, very hard. They can go stealth and escape a fight if they want, just to come back with a teleport and hit like crazy(I need to come up with a 5 skill combo on my ele to get out the same damage you do on your thiefs spamming one button).

And please stop complaining about the guy in the video. It´s a guild raid: you can even go with a twink there and you´ll kill every zerg because you ll get perfect timed stability, health, might, movement etc.

…not much changed about it…

Hey,

can someone link me an up-2-date build for WvW roaming(solo)? Especially what gear to use with a fresh air build(d/d).

If I run with the zerg I usually go full berzerk + staff and it turnous out great(spam fire 2 and 5, cast combofields). However, a few minutes ago a thief hit me with heatseeker for 8k(I ll never get how people can complain about thiefs) and now I´m pis..d off

Thanks and have a good day.

Hey,

am I the only one who thinks that the endgame is boring in this game?

I have several characters on 80 and my legendary. FOTM? No, gets boring after > lvl. 20 because it´s the same over and over again and every boss kills my ele with one single attack. Living world content is lame, after two days you have seen everything and completed most of the achievements.

My daily routine since a few weeks looks like this: AC all paths, COF p1, p2 and maybe fractals. That´s it. WvW? I love it and it´s probably the best feature in the entire game but since the queue is way to long(up to 5 hours) and it´s more of Lag vs. Lag vs. Lag, instead of World vs. World vs. World, I´am not interested in this anymore. Not mentioning all the GW2.exe crashes all the players on my server have when in WvW.

I think I´ll break up with this game. What keeps you motivated?

Phoebe Ascension.8437:

Ride the lightning was nerfed on underpowered (auto attacks do crap damage) profession.

Time to nerf Rush, on the profession that does everything but aoe’s better then Ele.

But warriors dont have great mobility…oh, wait. Okay, at least they dont deal a lot of damage…uf, sorry, my mistake. Warriors have a low health pool…hmmm, nope, sorry. Okay, at least they have light armor…ahhh wrong again. NOW I GOT YOU! Warriors cant go stealth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back to topic: Yeah, warriors mobility is op(I have 2 warriors on 80 myself). Take Sword/Shield + Greatsword and you have the best mobility in the game. Warriors are loved by ANet at this moment. They are OP in every aspect of the game(that´s why the whole forum is QQ about them and in Lions Arch every second character is a warrior). However I stopped playing my warriors, because they got boring and don´t require much skill(probbaly the lowest skill cap in the game).

Afaik ANet said in the last stream that they know that healing on warriors is op and they will look into it, but they dont wanna rush it. I hope they will nerf the warriors soon or/and buff some other classes(especially elementalists).

Hey,

I need a build for higher fractals(> 30). Right now I´m on full berserk and I´m squishy as f..k. Every single attacket from a boss kills(downstate) me instantly and I feel useless, because other classes survive at least one attack(thank you ANet, for giving a light armor class the lowest HP pool in the game(and high armor classes like warriors the highest HP pool – makes sense !), really appreciate it ).

Any builds out there?

Welcome ^^

I have 2 warriors myself, every time I am frustrated about my elemenatlist I switch to my zerker warrior – EASY MODE ACTIVATED

Here you can see them in action(this guys has a lot of elementalist videos): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NPoLqc29b4

In my opinion it looks awesome. I just reached level 20 on fotm with my ele and hope for a fractal dagger(until i get my second incenerator :P )

Guanglai Kangyi.4318:

Ivonbeton.6814:

I agree. I’ve been thinking about leveling a warrior myself. Most serious PvE’ers seem to have one on stand by atleast. Most of what other classes can do, a warrior can do aswell and usually better.

They are also extremely easy to level. They do massive AoE damage and are the fastest class to run around with. I can barely keep up with a warrior with my mobility specced thief.

The bring way more utility and sustainability to a group than most classes aswell.

I don’t even use my warrior. She’s been sitting at the end of the JP in Caledon for the last month or so. I use my necro more than my warrior even.

Same for me. I have 2 warriors on 80(one on full zerk) and I don´t use them that often.

What I´ve learned in the last weeks – DON´T COMPARE ANYTHING to a warrior in this game. Warriors are massively overpowered in this game. Awesome DPS, 20.000 HP on full zerk + heavy armor, probably the best mobility in this game(btw. mobility got buffed with the last patch) + low skill cap(PvE = spam h. Blades, WvW = 30.000HP + more dmg with auto attacks(hammer) than other classes on full zerk – spam F1 and your auto attack), Healing…well I´ll stop here. Looks like ANet is only playing warrior.

However I´ll stop crying about my elementalist. I love the flashy skills and I like to use combos instead of bashing my autoattacks 24/7. Let´s see how this will end…I already saw things like this on the lfg tool “LF3M, only 80, no ranger/ele”…it makes me sad

ErazorZ.5209:

and i wouldnt be surprised if eles will slowly start to get kicked out of groups due to there ineptness at all fields except healing, wich, in a reall party you wont need.

This is already happening. Saw several lfg requests like this in the past days(LFG tool): “LF3M, only 80. No ele/ranger”. I am leveleing my guardian right now(47 at this moment), I don´t see why I should keep up playing elementalist.

I need a build about the gear ^^

Hey,

I play the fresh air build and I need a build for that. Usually I go full berzerk, because DPS > everything in PvE. But on my ele I wanna have more HP. 13K HP with low armor is pain in the a*s. I as thinking about 16/17K HP but still good DPS output. Is this somehow possible?

Builds?

Thanks

I would love greatsword for ele. Why? Because ANet prefers greatswords. Just look at all the awesome greatsword skins and compare them to weapons like scepter, focus, dagger etc.

We need another 2H weapon for sure. We only have access to 4 weapons and the only 2H weapon is staff. A greatsword would be great. But please no f****ng greatsword that shoots lasers(this is GW2, not Star Wars). Instead give us some melee attacks, because the only real melee attacks we have is dagger MH.

I played ele since BWE1, full ascended accessories+r54+champion titles blah blah…all on ele, now I’ve switched to warrior for testing and these are my results :

1) Berseker’s stance > Cleansing wave trait+ EA water dodge+ER+Cleansing wave skill..all used at the same time

2) Warrior =Stability 8s every 40s( stance)+8s every 60s ( dolyak)
Ele= Stability 6s every 90s..that’s it, you can try for 2s stability every 15s if you take useless earth trait

3) Overall dmg = Warrior > Ele both using soldier amulet and same traits disposition
Ele needs to go full glass cannon to surpass a warrior in soldier amulet, but then the already low survivability drop to 0

4) Number of builds and useful traits = Warrior > Ele…by a lot

In the end I put 1/3 of the effort and take 4x the reward while playing warrior compared to my ele…OP or not I don’t care anymore as I wish the situation to remain as it is ( Ty Anet for loving warriors so much..pls nerf eles some more..or you can even delete it as I won’t use it anymore)

but ele doesn’t have same kind cooldowns like warrior has. It just switches element and gets fresh skill bar, right?

Where did you hear about that?
Ele got both CD ( huge CD on skills ) and CD on attunement swap..also ICD on each attunement every time you swap, once you use your skills in one attunement, they’ll go on CD..and remain on CD even if you swap back to the same attunement.

Furthemore ele needs to use 3-4 skills to cover the same dmg done by the warrior with 1-2 skillss, basically those 20 skills are there just for show.

There is no reason to play ele outside your will to play a harder profession to feel…dunno what maybe some kind of PRO.

Unfortunately this is a game so nobody kittening care if you’re considered a PRO because you play a harder profession, people want efficiency and fun, while the fun may be there for ele ( loads of sparkling lights )..there is close to zero efficiency

You missunderstood me. You got a full skill bar on each element, right? You use a skill on fire element and swap to water, now you will find 5 skills without cd on those, right?

Nope, you don´t.

Lol you compared immunity to heals? Dodge roll > 100 blades or any attack in the game. Thats pretty much what you just did.

Was comparing condition removal ..to condition removal, don’t need to compare heals between warrior and ele…as I don’t need to use any active heal on the warrior, healing signet and I can stroll inside a zerg..the ele melt in like 5s unless I watch my steps and time my heals

This!

I have both on lvl 80 and love both of them.

Warrior:

- low skill cap(perfect for beginners)
- probably the most played class at this moment, because:
- high DPS
- high HP(on Full zerk you have 20K…ele only has 12K)
- high armor
- great mobility
- big pool of weapons to choose from
- perfect for speedruns
- rules in WvW

In the end it´s all about spamming hundred blades(2nd GS skill) and fgj(gives you and your allies might etc.).

Elemenatlist:

- high skill cap(read below)
- usually average/good DPS…
- …with some builds it´s able to put out the highest DPS in the game( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jv3_7SzSgo , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKmo4FsMxPM#t=0m46s )
- lowest HP in the game
- low armor
- average mobility
- small pool of weapons to choose from(staff, dagger, scepter, focus)
- good support class in WvW
- able to conjure weapons

Ele has probably the highest skill cap in the game. You have 4 attunements(fire, water, air, earth) which means you have 20 skills. You only see 5 skills at any given moment which means you dont see the cd on the other 15. If you want to play the ele succesfull you NEED to switch constantly between the attunements. Ele is all about using combo fields and stacking might.

I wouldn´t recommend you an elementalist at this moment, because they are nerfed to death(in the last PvP tournament EVERY class was represented besides elementalist…maybe this will cause some attention of ANet – because all the QQ @ the ele subforum didn´t). The incoming buffs(which we know so far) aren´t too great and only affect conjured weapons and the staff(this is EXACTLY why no f***ing single ele was played at the tournament, ANet… -.-). However the ele is by far the most fun class in this game once you get the mechanics behind it(that´s why you still see some elemenatlists running around in this game…).

I would go with a warrior. In my honest opinion warriors are slightly op in this game(inbound 4flame in 3,2,1…) and they will get buffed with the october patch. Everyone loves warriors(I already mentioned at the top why)

What I´ve learned in the past: stop comparing any class with the warrior. Warriors are the kings in this game. I dont think I have to talk about PvE(20.000 HP on full zerk, great mobility, press 2 to win etc.). I have a warrior myself and when i need to get s..t done, my warrior gets s..t done. Just watch the lfg tool: “LF4M Warriors”, “LF1M Full Zerk Warrior” etc…and btw. yesterday I saw this “LF3M”… :/

WvW is the same story. 30.000(!) HP – spam the hammer attacks,(especiallyF1) and Endure Pain = win.

I cant talk about PvP(dont interested in), but afaik the warrior also rules there.

And yeah, I dont get why ele has only 13K HP. Mesmers and Necros are both light classes and have 20K.

I have a female human ele and I love her. Pretty much every outfit looks cool/sexy and you have a big pool to choose from. Light armor on female humans looks awesome in this game.

However I dont think that leveling elementalists is hard. I have 100% map on my ele and I have to say it wasn´t hard at all. Try out a mesmer and you ´ll know what “hard” means(until lvl 40)…good luck

Yeah, but since this thread was just about DMG, I wanted to show the video

0:48-0:56 is around 160K DMG…and the description says: “dmg can be Alot higher (depends on team comp , bloodlust stacks and a few minor changes).”

0:48 – 0:56 = ~ 150-170K DMG…and the description says: dmg can be Alot higher (depends on team comp , bloodlust stacks and a few minor changes).

Thanks, works perfectly

Wow. Just saw this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=FGALdnDgUE0

I only played with staff in WvW or for farming, but after this video m going to check the build out for PvE/Dunegons
Easily more dmg than my full zerk warrior…and the guy in the video is as far as I can see only on 3 stacks of might. I´m really impressed…just imagine this build in WvW. However it´s squishy as f…

quite nice, still like ~3s worse than a warrior and if the gaiant would have 5x more HP the time difference will be bigger.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYMAB_wZS08
also on smaller targets meterors are not so effective while for 100b target size does not matter + as you already noticed build will be v. squishy and its practical usage in harder content like fractals 50+will be limited. I still choose a warrior.

In your video the warrior is on 25 stacks of might when the big numbers show up(@hundred blades). The ele is only on 3(max. 6) stacks. That´s a HUGE difference.

Afaik it is also possible to bug FGS rush in combination with teleport. I don´t know how, but it´s possible(would be awesome if someone explained it to me). This should prove, that ele has the highest dps ingame – without burning a wall down

Thanks guys.

Is it true, that in higher fractals you should only play with staff(distance weapons), because the dmg you take is to high?

Hey,

which build do you usually run in fractals? Are there any websites/videos/guides for fractals(especially for elemenatlists)?

…why are my healing skills worser than warrior healing skills? Come on, lower DPS – fine, but lower healing(+ significantly lower HP)? Really? I´ am a guardian…

I am on lvl 37 right now and have troubles to beat more than 3 mobs(lvl 35) at the same time. I have a warrior and a elementalist on lvl 80 and I didn´t have any problems to get map completion with both of them, but somehow I really struggle with my guardian.

Any advices for me? Any usefull builds/skills/traits?

I really hope this class will show me some love on lvl 80, otherwise I ll just get back to my easy mode zerk warrior

I dont use focus ^^

Still can´t decide which one I should go for. Maybe I ´ll just get Sunrise for my guardian(already have foefires essence on my warrior). Hate the fact, that we only can choose between 4 weapons(and only ONE is two-handed -.- )

Hey,

I wanted sunrise, but no matter which class I try, I always end up back on my elementalist. So I was thinking about a legendary for my elementalist.

Meteorlogicus: after sunrise probably the sexiest legendary in this game. I like the scepter playstyle, but I prefer D/D instead of S/D.

Incinerator: looks good, but not as good as meteorlogicus. Boring footsteps.

Bifröst: looks ok, but I dont like the rainbow animations on my elemenatlist(I wanna see my fireballs etc. instead of some rainbows). I alos rarely play staff, only for WvW and farming.

Any advices? Which one would you take and why? Some elementalists here with legendaries?

Thanks

P.S. I only need about 200.000 Karma and Gift Of Exploration(of course in WvW, my server(Elona Reach) is only blue/green since 5 weeks – screw you ANet -.- ). Already have g and all the T6.

Hey

title says it all. Which one is the easiest/most runned arah path? 3g/day sounds good to me and I need the tokens for my legendary.

Iscariot.4876:

Out of 8 teams-
9 Rangers
8 Guardians
6 Warriors
5Thieves
5 Necros
5 Engineers
2 Mesmers

I want to point out, that EVERY class is used besides the elementalist. Just wanted to post it here, maybe a dev or one of the “Balance-guys” will come across it. Dont tell me I should post this on the elementalists forum, you ll NEVER see a ANet guy there – they just like to ignore all the QQ on the eleforum.

But hey, we are fine ANet.

Grok Krog.9581:

In dungeons, I love having an Ele. Pulling bosses or groups of foes to a wall then using FGS right melts through stuff.

And Lightning Hammer gives comparable damage to Warrior

FGS is able to do more DPS than a warrior can do at the moment.

Hey,

what is the most common PvE/Dungeon Build for a guardian? Could someone maybe link me his build?

Thanks

Up

I really hope Elona Reach will finally become red today…

Just try it out? Warrior is the most loved class at this moment, just play it and you will know why

Problem about elementalist: if you wanna do at least some damage, you have to go with conjured weapons. ANEt is forcing us to use them.

I already rerolled my warrior and guardian again, so much fun not getting killed by a one hit kill. I play on Elona Reach and elementalists are dying…

Turtle.4130:

My friends guardian can hit for up to 5k/autoattack, meaning in 4-5 autoattacks he can outdps a warriors whole 100B combo.

Okay, now just correct “4-5 autoattacks” in “9-10 autoattacks” and your post is fine

Brutaly.6257:

Fasyx.9347:

(only support a warrior can do is stacking might).

Say what! Are you sure you actually have ONE warrior since you missed out on the support capabilities you have.

How about never ending regeneration, great offensive and defeinsive buffs buffs while having that regen, team wide condiremoval just to mention a few of the options you have.

170 toughness, 170 vitality, 170 power, 170 condition damage, 170 precision, 15% crit damage 250 hps from regen is what i have on my banner warrior. And when i place all in a clash i frigging heal an entire zerg.

Sorry, I was talking only PvE. Forgot to mention that.

I have 2 warriors on lvl 80 and another on lvl 11 right now. Yes, I love warriors From my experience warriors are the most loved class at the moment.

Simply because they are kings in PvE and rule in WvW/PvP. 20.000 HP with full zerk armor is incredible. If you can dodge, you dont even need support classes like the guardian. Warrior in this game is like a one man army…and it´s easy to play – yes(like EVERY SINGLE CLASS IN THIS GAME besides the elementalist).

Right now I´m leveling a guardian and guardians are fun to play, very similar to my warrior. I choosed a guardian, because I missed some support skills on my warrior(only support a warrior can do is stacking might).

My advice is to level up both to 80. Nobody says you can only have one main character, right?

Hey,

my server(Elona Reach) is always green or blue since weeks. Is there any rotationsystem behind this?

I need only one tower(red) for “Gift Of Exploration”, but I can´t get it, because we are never red(and my sever dont even try to get this tower) – thank you ANet -.-

LG

What if I transmute a legendary? What about the stats? Will the white item still count as “legendary”?

Hey,

I was just curious about maximum DPS output from a guardian. I have a guardian on lvl 20 so I cant test it by myself.

For comparison: my warrior is able to deal 40K DMG with hundred blades( in 3½ sec) with full stacked might, vulnerability on the enemy etc.(he´s @ 90% zerk right now). How about the guardian in the same time (no weapon restrictions etc., simply highest DPS possible in this time)? Any videos?

Have a nice day

P.S. I´m talking only PvE right now
