Geez FA and CD, I swear you guys are like a zombie horde XD. I cant believe the numbers you guys come up with!

(IOJ)

The irony…

Whats going on at redlake IOJ?

Please add more stat combinations for ascended gear similar to exotic/rare gear since many of the builds created were optimized for those specific combinations such as carrion gear.

thank you.

Never got close to the Halloween one but this one I was able to finish after about a dozen or so tried. I really liked this one.

Victory.2879:

Seems most of the ’it’s easy to counter a thief’ answers are coming from people who mainly play THIEF. Tells you everything you need to know really.

For a lot of players being basilisked, then hit for 8k steal/mug, 6k, 6k cnd and being dead or almost dead within one second, can’t even see them while they finish you isn’t their idea of fun (with 1800 toughness and 22k hp).

Defend it all you like, but in wvw thiefs hit way too hard, have way too much space to kite away if you do manage somehow to guess EXACTLY when they are about to hit you whilst being invisible, and by the time you managed to avoid something your HP is so low you’re as good as dead anyway- as they can kite around 5/6 people all throwing aoe and swinging like mad, pop up and finish you off.

They don’t have much affect in the overall scheme of wvw (except when they hunt in groups of 5 or more), but they do annoy a lot of people into quitting wvw or at least contributing to them not enjoying the game and hence going to play another game which might be more fun.

Thief class I guess is where the usual ’i’m leet’ (for which read ’I’m a chicken ganker’) players go- every MMO has a class which attracts this type of player, and they will usually defend it’s OPness by saying ‘l2p’ or ’it’s easy to counter (play a thief)’.

8k mug? now that’s just a bit of an over exaggeration…seriously I have been playing my thief a lot lately instead of my guardian and the most I have been hit for is 5k, and plenty of other classes hit me for 5k..

only the heal removes conditions which are bleed, burning or poison. Unless you specced enough to get the trait which removes 1 condition every 3 seconds of stealth, which is a whole stealth cycle for a thief.

Make some now A-Net, k thanks…

the stealth cooldown is 3 seconds, most abilities stealth you for 3 seconds unless you spec for the extra 1 second. Which gives you 2 utilities that can stealth for 3 seconds and a skill “cloak and dagger” which also stealth you for 3 seconds, then of course you have shadows refuge which can stealth you for i believe10 seconds total “IF” you stand within the refuge house for 4 seconds.

I have been playing as my thief lately and as a thief my main targets are other thieves and let me tell you they go down quite a bit. But yes they are a pain to kill on my guardian but its not impossible if you know what each stealth ability does.

But the fact remains they are not the driving force behind wvw victories.

Is cluster bomb bugged? The tool-tip shows it should put out 3 stacks of bleed yet I only see one, is this a bug or am I doing something wrong here?

Gehenna.3625:

My guess is that they will release it later. So first you do the treadmill for gear that is not what you want and then they will add the gear you want so you can do it all over again.

It’s called adding content in some games.

lul /cry

yeah but I’m referring to ascended gear specifically.

There needs to be more stat combinations for ascended gear. Why is there no carrion rings/backslots when it is a common stat combo on exotics?

Zosk.5609:

Just gonna put this out there, this game should have learned all this from other games. Now, it needs to learn them for next patch….!

1. You don’t need NPC mobs everywhere getting in the way of PvP fights.
2. Siege is a tool that fights revolve around…not a weapon that makes actual characters obsolete.
3. Reward staying and fighting over running away at first sign of trouble.
4. Don’t penalize people for taking chances. (Armor repair costs, for an example…)
5. Maps can be really pretty simple and getting back into fights in a reasonable time makes things more fun.

I’m sure there are more. In some cases, like #4, I’m willing to make some excuses because you’re free to play and need more money sinks. But these are kind of obvious “knowns” now, aren’t they?

You haven’t played many PVP games have you?

Holy moly, Little CD asura pistol thief give me your build now, that was awesome.

selan.8354:

awesome time tonight! Thank you [RISE] from CD for the awesome christmas parade

Lol nice, that parade got bigger. I had to log because it was getting late for me and figured after a death would be a good time.

I died from my HP pool depleting as I was jumping into the present at the end so I never made it to the chest and missed out on the items within but I did get the achievement.

Swapping in combat to a sword of energy and shield of hydromancy doesn’t give me any stamina back from the energy sigil anymore, I only get the hydromancy proc, this was working just the other day, is this intentional?

Uhhh, TC is winning WvW the same reason every other server wins in this game, more people throughout a 24 hour period than their competition, it doesn’t matter how much headway YB or FA make during their peak hours if the next day when you login everything you took and more is gone. This is the true strategy to WvW unfortunately but hey, it’s still fun.

Primal.9513:

The best way for them to implement it is to:

1) Make it so that if you didn’t buy the expansion, you still are stuck at lvl 80
2) No upscaling after lvl 80 in WvW
3) Better gear, multiply all stats by 3 at least.

Or not.

That would be the stupidest move ever for Anet to do.

COF says it’s open but yet it is not, please fix this.

Not that I care but for the same reason they’re entitled to less in other games, the servers are labeled as “American” for time zones.

No one does events, everyone just sits and farms at particularly one waypoint (penitent) which constantly spawns undead that attack.
