Guild Wars 2

Yes, we all know the nike warrior can out run most things especially traited with forceful greatsword how ever leaps from some obstacles where you can not reach by jump is also kitten good.
edit
And fall damage, its meant to of been short temper. How ever death from above can be funny at times

I agree. 2k thoughness is a bit over kill for roaming – may be for zerging suure.

This is what I am currently using. Obviously I will change food and endura pain to zerka stance vs condi trash.

Are there’s upgrades really worth the hassle in saving up for and why the hell are they so kitten expansive? Even with the the standard + x stat is something stupid like 20 coins 20 skill point token things and at least 100 t6 mats. Or the wve version’s are badges (easy) and 5 laurels!.

Can ant at least lower the price down on the infusion upgrades?

Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this topic

On guild wars 1 there was a key that you can bind to cancel most actions wether its a spell sigent or even auto attack. Some attack skills could also be caceled by also changing weapon while hitting said key (was tricky) yet this game is hopelessly at canceling action (mainly attacking) . So many times have hit esc repeatedly even when the menu screen pops up and yet I still auto attack, even clicking of the target my char still wants to attack which is very bad when you have x amount of confusion stacks on you. How do you guys deal with this?

Why can we not have a dedicated cancel action key/button?

something like this? http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fJAQNAseSjMd0FaZIGewJagegC9u/DxgxCIAU2G9OA-T1SBwAXOEAPeAAROBAXVm1VpxN1fmoEk4+D41HgwEEgjAQAAEA25O35O3ZSBonyI-w think its much better then my other build and all i lose is 150 toughness.

Hey there. I run sw/sh and hammer when I roam with guildys and although I do not have the highest power or crit dmg but the crit chance is pretty good. 0/4/6/0/4 furious speed blade master in arms dogged march malicious hammer and ci in defence and warriors sprint and dote in discipline trait. With 2500 power 46% crit chance and 205 crit dmg I still land 7-8k final thrust and 4-5k back breaker and #2 (forgot name) with knights mixed witb cav armor using hoelbrak runes and zerka trinks. Sw/sh have fire and air sigila for good as dmg and the hammer atm has battle/energy (energy is for raid/zerging mainly lol) 2950 armor too.

I run furious speed and warriors spirit mainly for mobility (I know they do not stack)

SO is this the right place to put this here and also I don’t know how long this has been bugged for but it says that you gain an extra 10% crit chance while wielding a sword. yet I have the same crit chance when i swap to hammer. unless the tool lip has changed it use to say you have have +10% in your hero panel when you changed to sword. (hammer 45% crit chance – sword/x 55% crit chance)

This is what i run with, raiding with guild and roaming with guildys. Works for me anyway lol

very nice. i have not yet unlocked that trait yet >.< and i also can not aford celestial armour :z but them stats look amazing :o

I removed that trait and changed as advised, also modded my stats too. how is this ?

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fFAQFAWhMM6cW4wyBf0AdAB5xqvRBl7bjB-TFTDABdqaAMqoQlSqnUGkgSwXUjoKlKVcBBARHxAPIAAMBRz+DBAOA43f/93fTKAmEGB-w

Hey guys, I just started playing ele again (topping 119 hours now, wooo!) and I would like to play staff ele when roaming in WVW with guildys.

I understand staff is more of a supportive weapon and I know d/d is better but i like the staff play better – yeah i am a stubbon git lol)

I have made a build up my self but I am not sure what trait lines i should be going for and i also feel it lacks fury as i only get it from attunement swapping.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fFAQFAWhMMKcW5wzBdEBPACxfvGVSUgyZT+E-TFTDABdqKAMq8QlSqnUGUlSlXUDoiHAAc6AWQJ4AXAAAMBRz+DkCgJlRA-w

can anyone give me a good staff build please ?

Guys I do not understand why d/p trickery is nerfed, i mean people say that its ruind the the “stealth spam” but how? you still have the smoke field.

Spathis.7540:

This is my Thief

kitten , i forgot how good that combo was! so i re done it again – here is mine

got to love the pistol pose

Only using 1 peice of pvt atm http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fZUQRAsa6Yl0Mp0plPx3JsPNRSBx9CCQC88G1ozOMVA-TVDBAB1s/QOqEAxBBoSVIwSZCOqBAwDAILlW5pfgRlgMcEA0RVlAOBABAQAYiTciTciTsUAMpMC-w

I really do not understand why so many people QQ or complain over this kinda of stuff! I main a warrior and a thief (yeah so i picked the 2 “Easy mode” class’s :-/) with 700 hours on warrior and less then 400 hours on thief – that is not a lot of experience right?

If I wanted to QQ and complain about this game then I would say that every class is and so is condi “spam” OP for me to fight simply and honestly because I do not know how the other class’s work or how they are played because I very rarely play them, and this is my issue and its a L2P issue and nothing else. If you guys have 3 times the hours I have in experience and still need to sulk on the forums because you get your kitten kicked by some ganking thief then i dunno what to say.

I lose a lot of 1v1’s and dauls (stealth enemy’s too) mostly not because they are OP, it is simply because they are better then me and more experienced then me. when I first started roaming in wvw (not really done pvp) i too use to sulk when some 1 hits me 3 times in less then a second from no where and I am down but then that is where experiance comes into play, always looking at your surroundings and if do see a thief then I am at least ready to return fire. My roaming is getting better and my eyes are and reactions are becoming a lot sharper but i still die a lot but when that happens – oh well, QQing on the forums will not help. anyway enough about me.

I dunno guys I just do no see an issue with stealth at all in fact every time they go into stealth they are not dealing dmg (may be they set them self’s up for a BS but that is sometimes more hassle for the thief then it’s worth) so that gives you a few seconds to breath – and ready to dodge/block or what ever you do.

This is what i think anyway.

This is my current built that I learn to dual with and wvw with http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fZAQNAoaVl0Mp0pdPxwJ0PNBNB5dY+SZ0LA9Gl+C-TVDBAB8oSRN7PIxRAALlRA8AA8SJBOqBklSlU0HwoSQGOEA6oqSAnAASBwkwI-w

in game stats in Lions arch

just over 500 hours on thief

Hey guys I would like to try out d/p but all I have seen is thief’s do in wvw spam #5 #2 – zzz, is that all that is used in wvw ? i mainly roam with guildys flipping camps, defending towers if we can and well just fighting people who me meet on our travels.

I have been playing d/p in pve just to see how useful the skills are and they seem to be a lot more useful then say skills #3 and #4 on d/d set up. is there any good videos of thief’s in wvw using d/p that doesn’t permanently rely on #5 #2 spam please so I can watch and observe please?

this is my current build, please tell me if this isn’t suited for d/p

idk if this is the right place to post this but i always liked the ascended armor skin(minus helm and shoulder piece) in white black or black white but i never had a chance to build my own armor (to expensive wil go for it evetuly if its realy worth it)
but yea im realy nead some picturs of it with an nice dye combo

if you got any post them here or mail them to ndgoossen@gmail.com =)

cheers from Master Thief Nika

edit:female if can =)

I hope this is what you are looking for the head piece is the starter hood and the shoulders and shoes/sandals? are human t3 – rest is ascended. The dyes are celestial – midnight ice – illumination and coco.

up to date pic of my thief

something like this – i could go dolyak since i have signet mastery too
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fJAQJAsejMdUFaZIGewJagpgCbCUAXD5AQ5RE5A-TFSBABlquyDnAgrU+hmSwbUpAP9A8s/AAPAASBwkyI-w

ah right, well I cont really care about pve – we just run what ever and normally play our non 80’s in dungeons anyway lol

So a friend just said he was dualing some 1 in wvw and a guarding jumped in and claimed that he hit my friend for almost 20k with 2.8k armour (mesmer). the only thing my friend really noticed was the whriling wrath emote skill (sceptor skill 2?) anyway is there some kind of bug or a really high dps guardian build that do 20k nearly instantly out there ?

So yeah, I am thinking of rebuilding my warrior (for wvw roaming / not pve) with full zerka armor and melandru runes or a mix of cav/knights armor with halbrak runes (odd combination of runes but i like at least 2.8k armour). i currently have the strength runes but looking at the prices they sell for 16g a piece atm? am i missing something here or are people actually spending an extra 12g per rune just for that +7% dmg ? surely +7% isn’t all that is it? anyway back on topic I am thinking of selling my strength runes and buy a set of condi reduction runes due to the amount of condi crap going around in wvw. what do you think about it guys, is it worth trading in the +7% dmg or not ?

Hello again chap’s – like I said in my last thread i am not use to Pvp that being being wvw romaing or anything to do with pvp.

I want to be the best of my ability when it comes to pvp, i am pretty competitive but I just can not seem to kill any 1 solo ;( I don’t think it is my build because I seen videos of people using the same build as me and they seem fine – it’s a L2P issue and I admit it, I am bad.

I found a semi friendly engi in EB the other day and he kinda owned me 5 wins to 1 ( he was condi may i add) but i just can not seem to learn fighting people in wvw – i rely on reaction rather then instinct when it comes to fight’s because i just do not know how other class’s play, i am starting to beat more thief’s a lot easier now how ever.

anyway is going into spvp viable to learn to pvp better, i tryed OS but people just roll me before i even get a chance do really do anything as they are all speced for 1v1.

in wvw at bay with my new hammer

currently trying this out atm. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fJAQNAseTjMdUGaVIGewJagkAB9nMdOGoiyqZB-TlSBABlquyOqUQz+DPcCAuS5HaKB74QAgn+gFOCAA8AAIFATKjA-w

@killahmayne Your tips seem very intresting, i shall try 2/0/6/0/6 with sword/sheuild – longbow. i see wheer you are coming from.

keep this up guys = so much infomation, infact i am starting to get lost with build ideas! i 0/x/6/x/6 look good, but i dunno, i like the precision from x/5/x/x/x

great feed back guys’ very good ideas too.

@xbutcherx I play sheild for the interupt mainly, may be it’s only 1 but sometimes, that’s all that is needed to win a fight – i actualy was very close to dieing vs a d/d might stacker ele – i ruped his heal and managed to spike with final thrust then change to arcing arrow – (ele was not below 50% but i still hit him for 5k crit and arc arow hit for another 6k) i dis like melee wepaons on off hand, they seem, too – how can i say it? it’s juts not my style

Thanks for the feed back guys, I think i need to tweak things around like you have said. i have not really tryed hammer with sword/sheild yet so thats the next thing to try out.

i changed the traits but keeping SoS for now due to thee condi bombs ;( http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fJEQNAseTjMdUFahHmhwJagpgC7jXAXD5AQ5RE5A-TlSBABU8AAKVdF0UCelyvOOCA7oSBN7Pgn+gFOEAAcCAIFATKjA-w

Flissy.4093:

It’s absolutely viable, but you’re definitely “!gimping” yourself for it.

what do you mean by Gimping?

also another question, is it worth going sigil of generosity on then sheild instead of force?

that video was made to look so easy! i can never do that lol. i had the signet of stamina mainly for them kitten condi spammers that are going around lately (booo!) but yeah i will move traits around to see how things change my build next time i am out and about

Hey guys I don’t have many hours under my belt in WvW but i always liked to play sword/shield but is it viable in power spec instead of condi? I know i can go condi but that’s well, meh! but i may try it just to see what its like (i am in experimental mode atm)

I won;t be roaming solo any time soon so atm I just go with guildys in a grp of 2-5 taking camps and beating up people on our rounds.

I have a build here for you guys to have a look and I would like you tell me what you think

I chose sigil of strengh on the sword because it also effects the bleeding to as well as power and the bow is normally used for even more might stacking and utility (snaring/blinding ect)

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fJEQNAseTjMdUFahHmhQHagpgC7jXAX36AQZQE5A-TlSBABU8AAKVdF0UCelyvOOCA7oSBN7Pgn+gFOEAAcCAIFATKjA-w

Carpboy.7145:

For d/d deep SA because you wanna stealth as often as possible to use your bread and butter, backstab. You might as well get even more benefit from what youll already be doing

Here’s mine

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/external?l=http%3A%2F%2Fgw2skills.net%2Feditor%2F%3FvYAQNAoYVlsMp8plOx7JsPNhs9onqQii7BTlUNVXhoC-zUCB4fAYLLakgIaEFIUBg5oFRjtNoIas6aYaXER1kCYrFAA-w

that looks nice! much more toughness then me and a fraction more power/attack if i was to also go ruby orbs which i am not sure if i want to replace my traveler runes – i heard they are getting a nerf too ? so would you recomend staying at 0/30/15/25/0 over that other build ?

So I am mucking about on build editor and i want to get the best stats i can get (vitialy/armor/crit/%) and I have come up with there’s 2 trait lines – both have different armours and trinks.

deep SA http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vYAQJAoYlsMp8pdPx0J8PNhs9oC3Jii7hTlUNVXhoC-zUCBYLBkoAgKAMVNRpPDjtMsIasKkYKXDRW7CVAQC-w

or Deep acro http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vYAQJAoYlsMp8pdPx0J8PNhs9oC3Jii/gT1zgrkPA-zkCBYLBkoAgKAMVVRN9RYsMsIasKkYKXCRaXoqYwiCCjA-w

the deep acro has a bit more vitality and extra vigor return from that trait line how ever the sa has a bit more stealth bonus advantages. which 1 would you guys choose ?

Galsia.4102:

I may have deviated from the original build too much as I was basing most of the decisions off of what I run on my S/P build, so the two ended up being very similar. However, I think it would still be worth trying out.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vYAQNAsaVl0Mp8plOx7J8PNhs9oC1Jey7BZNWmVXBuC-zUCBYLERjEERjoIIUBgJPFRjtKqIasKkYKXJV7SQOAACA38mHdnH9mlCwqlRA-w

That build looks like it hurts a lot but it looks kinda squishy for my liking :p

Interceptor.2653:

“Attack” is sort of a meaningless statistic. It’s not used in any damage calculations. You want to be concerned with Power, and eventually get yourself some ascended weapons.

Some thoughts on your build:

• You have perma-swiftness from your trait setup. The 25% speed boost from Traveler’s is redundant, since you get 33% from Thrill and dodges. Much better runes are available for you.
• Toughness is a little excessive. You have 2558 Armor, which is a lot for a build that relies on evades and blinds.
• Health level is good.
• You need more Power in your damage tripod. Some of that Knight/Cav gear should be traded for something with primary Power, like Zerker. I recommend the combo Zerk/Valk trinkets, since they give a little health without sacrificing crit damage or Power (you just lose Precision, which is the weakest damage stat).
• Opportunist is not really that great anymore. You might want to see if you can drop some points out of CS.
• You have a Steal build with your deep Trickery and Sleight of Hand, but are not taking advantage of the synergy with 10-15 points in DA for Serpent’s Touch, Mug, and Lotus Poison. Consider taking advantage of that if you can. The added utility is worth the damage loss, usually.

Thanks for the reply, I totaly ignored the fact that i have traverlers with perma swiftness! lol what a numpty
I changed the build around a bit and here it is (i still like a bit of armour though) http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vYAQNAsaVl0Mp8plOx7J8PNR49gsj1s6HoZPDueVA-zkCBYLERjEERjoIIUBgZPFRjtNoIasKkYKXBS7CRFL1ECQwWA-w

Hello chaps! I am currently playing a thief in wvw and i roam around with my guildys using sword/pistol and also a with short bow, I don’t solo roam yet as, well, i Just get rofl stomped in 1v1’s :p but time will make a better player, anyway – I have a build I made which i think is pretty balanced but apart from that i feel that the over all damage is a bit low, even with food and stone i get just over 3100 attack. Can any 1 tweek this build for me (armour/trinks) please to give me the best possible stats i can get. (no ascended armour :p ) this is what i currently run atm

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vYAQNAsaVl0Mp8plOx7J8PNhsfoC9eQWjlZ1zgruKA-z0CBYLERjEERjoIIUBgpqJK7ZYslhFRjVhET5KQaYIqYpmQAC2CA-w

Sorry buy my gramma sucks :-/

Haha, nice 1! you make this look so darn easy

here is another screeny

So i was doing the WT last night on reset and i wanted to be brave and shadow step (steal) to the champion giant thing and as a did i feel through the floor and ended up at least 1000 range under ground. has any 1 else had this happen ?

So I have as little as 300 hours on my thief and loving it! I use my thief for all aspects of the game although i have not yet tried spvp but anyway, I am just starting to get the ang of it now and also starting to win more fights day after day. But reading the forums lately I keep seeing “SA is a troll trait line” “SA is a no briner” “You shouldn’t use SA” what is the problem with that trait line? i personally run 0/30/20/0/20 the 20 in SA is for the condi removal in stealth and the extra 200 armour. so can any one please explain why SA is considered troll/cheesy because i don’t understand what the issue is with it.
