Guild Wars 2

noobgood.8762:

Good assumption, but I think I know the true reason behind the berserker nerf.

Because the casual players – i.e. gem buyers – are those who complain about zerker, amirite?

If not, hit me up.

+1 if the change goes as expected.

They let MF users when they changed they, they sure as kitten it better let Zerkers else there will be a right kittenstorm – especially since we have just sunk 300g into Ascended.

All is vain.

By earning some capital the “layman” way (champion farming or dungeon running) then investing it into something, usually T6, Lodestones or event items.

Yeah you can’t force yourself to like a class. Some people don’t enjoy OP, some people prefer magic users. For me, I prefer the physicality of the class.

Gw2 Warrior Hundred Blade + support 106 K Miss signoritas

Little lame counting it on a berserker. It’s like trying to say Brie is your record.

LittleLepton.8915:

Most legit sellers do not skip Lupi. Case closed.

Surely all legit sellers do not skip, else they aren’t legit?

spoj.9672:

I wouldnt be surprised if half of them didnt know how to choose traits. So yeah 0/0/0/0/0 is deffo op.

The trait manuals cost too much.

It’s probably been said, but you don’t need to buy it if you think it’s overpriced.

spoj.9672:

I can only assume that they dont even know how to use their own builds. All it requires is spamming stuff to survive. Not sure how people cant manage that.

0/0/0/0/0 is OP Spoj.

Don’t be mad because you’re not skilled enough to solo a dungeon.

The reason you see more sellers than runners is because normal groups fill up a lot faster – try posting a group and see how quick it fills up.

They don’t need to ban selling, they need to ban exploiters ruining the market for skilled PvErs.

I’m in same boat as OP, no point selling Arah ‘cause people just kick thinking you exploit, and there’s that many doing it it’s pitiful profit I may aswell just give the spots to friends.

Skilled PvErs?DDDDDD
Please, you’ve learned 2-3 mechanics, does that make you skilled?
Everyone can run full berserker don’t be ridiculous.
I especially love you “skilled” people go out of combat leaving fire elemental at the first boss at arah p2 xD

Nice joke bro, you made my day.

Learning mechanics definitely does give some form of skill curve to content. How is a player who can solo Lupicus without a single hit of damage the same skill level as someone who gets hit by every grub attack and causes their group to wipe by triggering bubbles in phase 3?

I don’t even use the Fire Ele. Hell, I don’t even have powders as Im expecting them to be unusable any day, just like most consumables.

The same thread that appears every time an RNG dye kit is released. If people buy them, they’ll keep pumping them out, if people stop, they’ll change the way they work.

Lesson learned – just buy the dyes from the TP.

Woohoo, more dyes. Thanks AN!

Amenity is clearly the favourite, it’s double the price or more of the rest.

JVJD.4912:

Let he play the way he wants to play, this is a game of aesthetics ………

As long as he stays the hell away from groups asking for Zerk DPS.

Kittens me off when sub-optimal players join thinking they’re DPS.

Check this out.

But, of course, unless you want to look like a Dolyak carrying around 10 different weapon sets, get a Axe & GS with Night on for nighttime dungeons, and another Axe & GS with Force on for the rest. Your Mace should have Battle on it.

Only in PvP not PvE or WvW.

Substituting the Shield for a second Sword is largely better though.

If you eat a 100B ‘cause you didn’t bring a stunbreak, it’s your own fault. The Hammer isn’t a high damage option anymore – which is the control weapon. Sure, GS and Axe still hit like a truck, but have no control.

V is a useful key <3

Saulius.8430:

Flissy.4093:

Hmm? I have a ~97% crit chance in 80 Dungeons & Fractals with full buffs (no Spotter from Ranger), but in AC/CM I’m overcapped (I hit 104%) even without food.

Tell me again how Precision gets scaled down.

warrior signet buildzor, with precision for each? afaik something there don’t get downscaled, therefor OP in low level zones

No, no deepstrike. And I believe it was changed so the precision from the trait scales with your level.

I’ve seen proof of 86k hits, and I’m aware higher has been achieved but haven’t seen myself. Here is an 83k pre-ascended armor from Nike.

Of course, this is when the group sacrifices all of their real utility, aswell as the Warrior, to achieve a big number for funsies. It’s not a recommended strat at all.

I’ve hit 53.2k on the Golem without Inquest potion (Undead is better in the dungeon, and I’m too lazy/cheap to repot) and used bad food, which is close to my max of 54.6k on the Magecrusher. I guess a 60k hit may be possible on this guy with optimal food on this guy without the whole group trying to buff one persons DPS.

Shield is a bad weapon, doesn’t give the 5% damage from dual wielding, and the block is worse than on a Sword (double recharge time).

But if you must 30/25/0/0/15.

Just the same as the meta swapping Mace out for Shield, and I just substituted Short Temper in as Dual Wielding would be useless.

The only choice for Rune is Scholar, ignore any advice to say get Ruby Orbs if you’re tight on money, because they are just so much worse and not even worth considering since Scholar runes are super cheap now.

Use a Bloodlust stacking set, not Perception.

Trying to hybrid a build for WvW too will only slash your effectiveness in both. I’m no WvWer so can’t give you a build, but I can say retreating/regearing is necessary – so get a second armor set and retreat everytime, it’s super cheap.

Lenor.8197:

Bad people wearing PVT will still die.

No they won’t

It’s because half the idiots think “Ranger” means you have to camp at range with a bow.

Spoilers: they’re called Rangers because they roam the plains, not because they are supposed to be an archer archetype.

I had to skip my dinner just to watch it, and you even cut out the trash skips!

This kind of thrilling standstill action is surely the gameplay designed!

Don’t worry, I didn’t want to get to Lupi anyway.

It’s a good job I don’t need to eat.

Mad Queen Malafide.7512:

Its getting a bit silly.

Yes it is, but that’s only because of the exploits. When will they kitten fix them. It’ll be an absolute gold mine when they fix anything that allows lupi to be skipped.

ipan.4356:

The answer is simple. You speed run because you want the reward, but not the content.

Nonesense, I speedrun because I enjoy the challenge of doing it quickly. I skip a lot of the “daily” PUG farm dungeons because they’re dull, such as TA up and COF P2.

ipan.4356:

you don’t have enough content to satisfy them.

This is true though. Im done as soon as Im burned out from doing the same dungeons daily. I think 10k of all tokens is enough for anything I may need.

JETWING.2759:

You do not need warrior sprint. You already have horn to grant swiftness.
I think the build are good

I agree, because we use shouts we should use inspiring shouts. That way we can use flurry more to immobilise more!

Too much content?

You’re strange, since everything is just removed ~fortnightly anyway.

Sirendor.1394:

It’s still a hell of a lot easier than anything else. Support and utility roles require you to know what you’re doing. Zerker requires you to know 2 things: dodging and mashing all your damage buttons.

Support and utility roles are zerkers too. It’s called reflections & fury/might/vuln. Anything else such as “heals” is a waste of time.

All a non-zerker does is the same as a berserker, but slower and more forgiving (i.e. for bads).

All the NAs without a clue.

Welcome back RG.

Everybody knows implementation of a legendary was entirely wrong. The evergrowing list of things that GW2 does badly.

They should force players into all aspects of the game … but why bother doing that when you all them to be purchased off the TP.

It was just probably quicker to get the code sorted this way. Making the instance not change hands is certainly possible, and just lazy that it wasn’t coded that way.

I’ve been saying we’re playing a Beta for a year.

Lilius.9850:

NØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØ

All my characters are zerkers…D:

Which says pretty much everything you need to know about the problem.

They’re not going to nerf zerker much, and its not going to be done on the player side where you can see it, but they will also make a point of adding content that doesn’t favor it above all other options. Less dodging as the solution to all of your defensive problems, more risk that you might want to mitigate by gearing defensively in at least some slots.

The ability to have the option of taking damage into your own hands is what makes this game what it is. This game wouldn’t stand a chance on the MMO market if it just made you sit there and let your dodge/block chance decide your fate while you pray to RNGesus.

Dog.1472:

omg every single pug takes my lightning hammer and uses 4.

WHY DO YOU DO THAT STOP IT

Then they use #5 over purging flames.

No bugs regarding the Warrior, not that I’ve noticed anyway.

I’m pretty sure the Rangers have the shark-on-crit animation bugged on at least the auto attack chain, much like Mesmers/Guardians do. I can’t speak for Necro.

As for triggering the aura on land, unsheathe your weapon, remove the spear and re-equip to get the aura.

Scyte.2801:

The reason why the sellers are the only ones that show in your LFG screen is because those take longest to fill up

This is true. Advertise a regular run and be sure as kitten it it’ll fill up almost immediately. Albeit with 2 Rangers, a Necro and a Cleric Staff Guardian.

Also, thread #27471 regarding the matter.

bobomb.5209:

Also Vinter if you never have used a rifle why are you commenting on a rifle build?

Because everybody knows, and the rest need to know, the rifle is bad.

You don’t need to use it to know it sucks.

you cant use the warhorn its no good, you need to use the offhand axe incase your group needs you to dps. axe 5 has big numbers.

3 piece Assassin’s – Helmet, Chest and Legs, rest Berserker.

Any more pieces than that with Fury Signet (so op), Fury/Banner and Omnomberry Ghosts will mean you’re over the 99% cap so wasting stats.

Warriors aren’t stuck for precision, so as a rule Assassin’s isn’t very good.

The final stepping stone to making 100% of the playerbase casual gem-buyers who play 4 hours a week.

I always thought that Berserker was the reward for a good player. Can dodge? You don’t need defensive stats.

I’ll give you 2 weeks before you go back on most of what you said.

I play since release day and still play several hours each day and love it.

Then you should be in the class of people who suffer the most from the games problems.

Quite a few people have been playing since launch. Just because you don’t like something, doesn’t mean it’s bad. You just don’t like it, and you know…that’s okay.

It’s when people start trying to make their opinion into fact that the problem starts.

I like this game so the game is good for me. You don’t like this game so the game is bad for you.

Neither of us is right. But you shouldn’t assume the OP won’t like it in two weeks, because there are people playing since beta 1 who still like it.

I like the game. I still play many hours a day. That doesn’t make the direction the game is going good, it’s just the stuff from launch/shortly after is still interesting to me.

MMOs should never have been designed to cater to people who work 9-5 and play 1 hour a day around a family life.

Jeez, that’s a bit harsh. Do you not have to work for a living or something?

I’m not criticising the group I mentioned, simply stating that MMOs have never been catered to such players, and as a genre known for such deep character progression and development, methods should never be easily attainable by those with extremely limited time.

Yargesh.4965:

I have personally gotten a lvl 80 exotic armour from lvl 5 mob. Others have gotten precursors.

Precursors only drop the 60+ mobs unless in some container, i.e. champion bags or chests.. Wiki codes are a common thing.

Ren.5842:

Maybe some of the problems – like my own issues with lack of mounts or consumable UI slot, are a matter of taste or opinion? Maybe some people just don’t see your problems as being as much of an issue themselve, or maybe some people are just more optimistic

It’s practically an objective remark to state that the living story content is no fun. No sane soul should enjoy running around hitting “F” on things, auto attacking in a group of 40 people with literally 0 risk while you think of what you want for dinner to avoid your brain being filled with these mind numbing processes, which is what most of the “living” story is composed of.
