After running dungeons so many times you do realize that Warriors/guardians/mesmers are the preferred class to bring into PVE due to their wanted damage and utilities; although yes skill does play a large part of that so a skillful ranger/necro etc. will be just fine in a PVE environment but that same player would do much better playing a Warrior/guardian/Mesmer. Trust me I play Guard/Warrior/Mesmer/Thief and sadly the thief doesn’t get much pve action just because playing the other classes will make for a smoother quicker dungeon run environment.
Also as a response to the above poster when it comes to people using bad builds, from my experience people use them because they focus on more than just PVE and don’t want to retrait/respec every time they go from WvW to PVE as that change could be within a matter of minutes several times a day (which becomes even moreso if you have several 80 alts). And lets face it, pretty much every PVE build is absolutely horrid in WvW.
If I remember correctly A-Net plans to turn achievements (directly related to achievement points) into laurels so maybe we could buy precursors with laurels in the future?
In most other MMO’s being stunlocked was much more of a major issue than it has been in this game.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaand once again A-Net ignores the one area that ascended gear is required…Fractals..
GG A-Net.
Pure WvW players don’t even need ascended items.
I see you’re adding ascended amulets to WvW; will you be adding Amulets to the FOTM vendor considering ascended items are needed much more in FOTM than in WvW?
We interrupt your forum drama and chest thumping to bring you a score update!
huh, cool looking toon.
If you’re not legendary enough to take the keeps you need in wvw for map completion you’re not legendary enough to own a legendary.
next thread.
go kill the fire shaman in fotm lvl 48 with 0 ar.
you’re welcome
Strangely not since Halloween have i actually enjoyed Guildwars 2 content…
Me either.
And it doesn’t really matter how bad ME3’s ending was. F&F was lame, regardless.
Just one more reason why I went from raving fan to raging detractor. The people that I talked into buying GW2 back at launch are long gone, and have had a good laugh that I told them how great it would be…and they got…things like this.
I suppose I still post here because I enjoy forums, and was such a huge fan during GW, and there’s some part of me that hopes ArenaNet will unscrew themselves and get this game back on track. Still not seeing it happen…
MMO’s never unscrew themselves they only slide down a spiral in the same direction.
You only get so many success orders per month using the saved card to prevent fraud. If you want additional purchases you need to enter the information yourself.
I believe achievements (points) will become laurels in the future.
I guess the real question is: does ANYONE find the fractal skin drop rate acceptable?
you know i can deal with the droprate, its the rng of what drops that kills me.
4 tridents – lolwtflol
4 swords
1 greatsword
2 Focus
1 longbow
2 daggers
1 hammer
1 shield
2 axes
1 warhorn
3 torches
—————————-
what id really like 2 more greatswords, a shortbow, a rifle, a staff, a scepter and another shield.
so yeah eff you rng, eff you.
no offense but at level 33 you know two things about your class: jack and squat. There’s more; a lot more.
So are all these +1’s bots or real players? hah!
pick the items with stats that are most important to you. Also don’t waste laurels on rings. Do FOTM to get rings.
it is so funny how you people keep saying it takes up wvw space first off it doesnt because they go to a map that usually has no players in it and u zergs think ur going to stomp a fight club? thats funny cuz 1v1 players are better then you pvd zergers and if theres alot of ppl participating in the duels ur zerg will get stomped into the ground cuz ur used to fighting a tower gate or wall. and also if ur dueling ppl U DO NOT FINISH so wtf are u tradeing plz explain that to me
Incorrect generally good dueling builds are different than WVW builds.
also back on topic having duelers in a specific map could cause one side to lose their outmanned buff; which would then deter that side from trying to do WVW for their server.
Those who duel in WvW probably don’t take up nearly as much space as the PVe’ers who neither want not care about WvW who are there just to get world completion. I promise you, more people who don’t care about WvW are out there trying to get world completion every day on every server than are trying to duel in WvW.
PvPers have an interesting mentality sometimes. Here we have some saying, no dueling. It takes up a slot in WvW that others want to use. But when a PvEer points out that to get maps 100% they are forced into a PvP area, that they don’t help in any way and take up a slot in WvW that others want to use, then it’s different. Then it’s you MUST explore WvW to get the title.
Well, if it’s not a big deal for PvEers to take up a wanted slot then it’s ok for duelers to do so.
Not really; generally in every PVP based game I’ve played PVP’rs have always viewed dueling as a form of carebear PVE.

Can’t believe people complain about the damage to players; use your head and stop throwing your squishy players on siege.
They don t have time to reset arm seals at cliffside on wipe…
Its quite hard to believe….
But why WOULD the arms reset? The spawns are because the npcs now notice that you’re there so they come to defend the seal. Resetting this would be like if you wiped then all the npcs that defend the campfire in the ice fractal or all the dredge in front of either door would reset. It doesn’t REALLY make sense.
Well why would the health of a completely broken seal reset? You just broke it and there aren’t even any respawns for that seal?
I logged onto my thief and just did the JP myself ;p
So now we’re comparing Slavery to skimpy armor which shows no nudity in a video game which doesn’t even force you to use said skimpy armor and also adding in that because this is a forum we should argue for the sake of arguing.
classic; this argument is ridiculous I’m out.
this is one of those stupid argument you all think you have when you think you are right…
since there is no actual boobs you can pretend you don’t know what i really wanted to say and btw people are still whining because the arah armor that showed one boob was changed, so yes, people want to see boobs and they say it’s because is artisticWell at least we can agree that this is a stupid argument. Also “pretend you don’t know what i really wanted to say” seriously? how about you just say what you want to say?
I still see no boobs in this game, what? A couple of light armor tops that look like bikini tops getting you all haughty? Give me a break..
i repeat i said people want to see boobs more than want to be just or simply rational, i didn’t said that you can see boobs everywhere in the game, so your counter point is lame, like your logic
You said that mad queen crusader up top is preventing people from seeing boobs, yet there are no boobs to see; tell me again about lame logic, thanks.
this is one of those stupid argument you all think you have when you think you are right…

it’s a lost cause, no one will ever accept the good point some people make here, and i fell sorry for mad queen and all the other girls here that thinks same as her.
i’m sorry you’ll never get them, they are stubborn and will never be prone to say, maybe you are right because they want to see boobs and you are trying to prevent them for doing so in a field that in their mind is only theirs (videogames).
they will never ever understand not in this forum and not in front of everyone here, they pretend to counter your argument, maybe some of them know you are right but they will never admit it and they still want to see boobs more than realizing what is wrong with them!
Tell me where I can see boobs in this game.
insert standard reply of “RNG”.
I think it is sad that people are stepping up to say there is so much more to it, what a joke. Stacking and blasting combo fields is not tactical brilliance, stacking and running out of sight and then hitting them in the flank, not tactical brilliance, stacking and then stealthing or using portals, not tactical brilliance. Telling everyone to wear PVT, not tactical brilliance.
I cannot think of a single faction based PvP game that has as low a skill cap to succeed as this game and as a result the zerg game is not forced to be better, to do better. The solution to all is better coverage, to recruit more, bigger zergs, more and more people.
In fairness the game does not actually provide the tools. Squads having no raid frames, no ability to organize and balance your groups, to create inner squad coordination. Every buff, cleanse, heal being just random splash on the closest targets with no group preference. Downed system.
I am fine with people running around in 70+ people zergs, if that is fun for you that is fine by me, just stop pretending it is more than it is.
can name 3 DAoC, SB, WHO they are all about harnessing large numbers of people to destroy the enemy force and only way to stop it is with similar numbers.
Incorrect, zergs got steamrolled by coordinated groups. in SB “Shadowbane”. I’ve seen guilds with four times an enemies number lose sieges to specialized groups.
19 skins later and still not one great sword.
I think the problem with warrior is his damage is too high on some attacks but are useless in anything but pve due to the warrior being rooted; such as killshot and 100b.
I only wish they would change the arah female armor back to the way it was before.
1. daily Heart completer
2. daily Vista completer
bump for grape justice!
so…did he heal?
Possibly lowering the overall damage but making it an attack that doesn’t root you?
It sure would allow the warrior to maintain its role as the damage class and make 100b a viable attack for moving targets.
Guild halls would be a waste of time, all it will do is segregate the community. Lions Arch would be empty and all those funny entertaining things people do in the city would go away.
I pray they never ever implement such a worthless idea.
Or you can just do what I did when I was new and just follow along.
It’s “possible” for one mistake to snowball into other mistakes even to the best. AR “helps mitigate” that; to argue otherwise is foolish.
protip: pay attention to the quoted parts before arguing for arguments sake.
Swamp: if whoever the mossman is aggroed on continues to run without stopping or making quick turns mossman will stay in stealth.
Asuran fractal: Sometimes when you fall you are teleported to the beginning.
AR helps alot; even the best players make mistakes. Anyone who says otherwise is full of themselves. That being said skill is more valuable than ar.. to a point. I do not condone some type of ar check; if someone sucks then just kick them.
learn 2 play.
You start getting hit with retal you stop attacking; this isnt rocket science.
with 4 different 80’s and countless WvW I never killed myself with retal.
You know I usually read these boards and people’s suggestions and just shake my head and wonder how people come up with such silly ideas; but this idea is absolutely brilliant; I hope A-net looks at it.
I’ve seen dying MMO’s; I’ve played way to many. The latest one being swtor; and GW2 is hardly dying.
dumb thread is dumb; in before lock.
Hit f1 to shadowstep to your target; once you do an f2 key becomes active so you can use whatever skill you stole and as an added option f1 can be a return step. This way you do get a quick heal in/out attack and it does add mobility to the thief.
just a thought since a-nets plans is too add mobility plus fight durability to the thief class.
support is whats keeping you alive to dps.
dumb thread is dumb
/thread.
Quite honestly a solid counter to a boon should be boon removal. They should have worked on making those skills better/adding more of them.
