Guild Wars 2

Either you go 4x mesmers + guardian combo. OR go zerker single hit dps based. As a thief burn all your skills combo hopefully high single hitting attacks then do not attack for 10-20 seconds so the damage resets.

So for those 10-20 seconds just kite.

Its funny how people love hating on SoR.

It’s funny when people complain about their server being trashed and then trash other servers in the same post.

You play WvW for what? Are you in the group of players I’m referring to? The people who see evenly numbered opposition and then just turn your back and run and/or waypoint away?

If so then yes, I feel like I waste my time going into a giant player vs player game mode (WvW) to see people just run away. It’s incredibly boring.

PS. I remembered the guild tag from TC, its EXS. You guys fken have balls, I think our commander said he feels bad zerging you guys when we had a big following of rallians with us during one of the days we were raiding as you guys were the only ppl with any back bone.

Its funny how people love hating on SoR. SoR got the worst match ups for the season 1. We got pitted against BG stacked server basically 24/7 4 map blobbing everything at every time zone for 3 weeks straight. JQ gets their butt handed to them 1 week only and they sure as hell didn’t enjoy while we got it 3x .

For me I didn’t really care, I played for fights during our time zones only hated that other servers ran from us even though they had more people than us at every corner. No one wanted to fight but hide behind their towers except for that one 15 man guild on TC. I forget their tag but mad props to you guys.

I’m pretty kitten ed. I don’t want to see every light class Norn+Sylvari running around with T3 CULTURAL ARMOR. Seriously who the heck thought it was a good idea? I don’t need to even point out why this is bad bad bad.

A-Net can you either please remove that toxic content out of merc camps OR reduce the number of captures OR make neutralizing mercenary camps count towards the achievement?

The problem is that right now all the toxin mobs are killing off most of the mobs needed to neutralize them making them long. Secondly you effectively removed all the merc camps off borderlands yet forces someone as myself who does WvW everyday for hours still just barely got 1/3 of the captures needed.

I’m not going to bother explain how putting the toxic spores stuff in WvW already kitten es off 80% of the WvW community.

If you think thief is bad in the tower then you really need to look at ALL the options available to a thief. The BEST PVE COMBO for a thief is sword/pistol where you blind tank 5 elite mobs solo and solo them, something a warrior/guardian can only dream. You can also use smoke screen which has a stupid low cooldown for even more blind and afk farm mobs more efficiently than a warrior ever can.

^^another person who doesn’t read

this thread is about CONTENT not class

No your initial post is about having issues with NEW CONTENT because mobs deal alot of confusion/CC making your thief class unviable in your eyes. In my eyes I see you as having absolutely no idea what my post was referring to which is the solution to your confusion/cc spam. Blind negates all of this completely as all enemy attacks are rendered useless making new CONTENT EZmode for thieves not warriors/guardians.

Seriously are you even reading what you’re writing?

^— Your efforts aren’t wasted though. You have rewards that nobody else has because you got to higher fractal levels.

Rewards were no better than lv40 if you were running lv78 fotm. I ran lv60,50,40 on a daily basis before they introduced the Jade Maw block where it killed you everytime you got revived.

This wasn’t an exploit, its just a-net didn’t realizing that players were GOOD ENOUGH to go beyond lv50. FoTM was ment to be an endless climb with increasing difficulty. Believe me when I tell you that dredge + fire elementals did 15k per autoattack at lv79 as opposed to 5k on lv48, comparing level 64 mobs vs 62. The time it took to complete higher lvs were incredibly time consuming because of this as well.

Sorry elitist comment here but I liked it back where lv40+ was exclusive for players who learned to dodge agony rather than facetank it by stacking agony.

^ This a million times. I want 10 different swimwear for my toons. I don’t care for anything else besides this. I would buy at least 10 sets of swimsuits, no joke.

You must be talking about my guild. It’s ok you can ask me why. I ran because I only had 5 to 6 guild members on my tag the rest militia. I consider Choo really good and with what I had on my tag I couldn’t fight you. I couldn’t get a lot of my guys on the map last night because we had multiple guilds on the map. KnT & ZN had more than me on the map so I relied on them to fight you. I could tell by the way you guys were lurking you were looking for a fight and I tried to give you one a bunch of times.

Thx for the heads up but, who cares if one side wipes. We wipe all the time but go out fighting, with the way scores are we know who’s taking first this week anyways. Who cares about taking objectives, you should of just fought it out all day with KnT + ZN like crazy IMO.

I just feel sad BG donated so much hard earned gold on a daily/week w/e basis to give it away to people lol. How much gold per person did they spend so they can buy more guilds to sit in queues jumping in excitement that they’re winning while doing nothing.

I’m enjoying no 1 minute queues to no queues for WvW. Just sad that BG likes to run/wp out instead of fighting so often even when outnumbering us. Chasing people is no fun.

PS. All those screenshots people take saying SoR blobs harder than BG is a joke. Sanctum of Rall is longer than Blackgate so name tags get stretched out making it seem like there’s more people when there isn’t.

Warriors are pretty strong right now, but will be seeing changes in an upcoming patch.

We like how they can be tanky, and we like how they can do DPS if they want. We also like the CC they can bring. We just don’t like them doing it all with 1 build.

And Necros? They’re the reason for the Warriors’ absurd condition resistance right now, aren’t they? They’re as much an imbalance in this meta as Warriors are.

Just as a single Warrior build should not have access to chain stun, high damage, and great tanking ability, no single Necro build should have access to chain fear, high condition damage, and great tanking ability. They’re in the same boat.

^This
Best part about necro is that you use stability to prevent him from chain CCing you you can’t because he just corrupt your stability and you’re feared again. Or that engineer just outheals your dps and dumping every condition on you. Or that ranger with 3 spirit running around not op at all whats soever.
People are just absolutely whiny right now because everyone is going condition builds left and right and warriors carrying berserker stance have a “chance” at beating them as right now I’m seeing players unload all their condition damage on me when I use it.

Anyways good job guys, A-Net should just return warrior back to post quickness nerf where Ranger pets are highly more desirable than warriors themselves in every game mode except CoF P1 speedruns.

Master cannons needs to be changed and at the moment I haven’t really found a use for it.

If you build a cannon and the enemy neutralizes the ruin the cannon will get destroyed instantly. This defeats the purpose of the cannons which is to be used when you are outnumbered. So please make it so you keep control until its destroyed, or otherwise just remove cannons all together. It’s incredibly rare to see anyone use em because they’re not really useful at all.

Looks like we all forgot the days where warrior was a free kill for you know the first 10 months of the game. You know the days where it was so universally accepted that the warrior was an utter dead weight and only good in CoF p1 gold runs and utter trash in PvP. The days where 1 trap ranger will utterly destroy 3 warriors on this own and ranger pet can 1v1 a warrior and come out on top.
LONG LONG FORGOTTEN.

Wilco.1458:

omg can you get any more lucky

This tower -will- fall eventually!

I was the dude (guardian) scouting it all night. GET OUT OF MY TOWER! SHOO

Thx A-Net that’s 3.5 hours of my life I won’t get back. Once again, not telling players anything and events requiring people to get in 1 hour ahead of time is real fun to complete.

I like the bloodlust buff as it gives incentives to small team roamers but at the same time, that bonus shouldn’t be a straight 150 stat buff, should be something like an anti-seige buff. -20% damage from seige per orb because the main issue with adding bloodlust has always been the players turtling behind walls with 5 superior arrow carts.

First its not entirely just pugs jumping in the event too late, but its the fact that if you just joined in solo you were thrown into an overflow with fewer people.

The way it works is that all maps including overflows have cut offs to how many players can be put in. The way to bypass this is to get partied with someone and join their overflow. What this means is that the maps that actually has a chance to defeat him are completely maxed out with not the 70 players randomly put in an overflow but at least 130+ players cramped in through manually joining it. So anyone joining in a few minutes early will thrown into overflows with significantly less players than those with players spamming the “Join overflow/map from partied members”.

All meta bosses are scaled by the number of players but there is a limit seems to be close to the that cut off that A-Net implemented which is why when servers completely full maps can easily kill lets say Karka Queen in under 3 minutes.

TL;DR Overflows actually has fewer players than main servers make killing Teq impossible.

cyborG.3026:

My turret bugged out, shooting nothing but going on cooldown as if I shot it. It only happens after I cleanse my turret from poison, and I have to leave at least 3 times before it works again.

Seconded this. It happens if I spam the skills, heck trying to keep everyone alive and last thing you want is your turret jammed for the next 30 seconds.
Also agree with the above as you frequently lose your mark for no reason whatsoever.

Is A-Net going to ever make these badges I get worth something? I don’t think anyone even buys seige with them anymore since you get so much through WxP ranks and through random drops.
Can’t you make them be used as a currency to buy ascended parts or resources (wood/metal) from a vender because seriously the difference between PvE and WvW in terms of gold/hr is just horrendous. I can tell you that one thing I get a lot of in WvW is badges, and nothing to spend it on. On tier1 zerg maps in the time you make 1g in WvW you can make 15g in PvE, I hate to think what a tier3 or tier4 match up yields.
Seriously A-Net you want to liven up WvW make badges of honor worth something.

Stooperdale.3560:

Level 80 players shouldn’t be running around low level zones harvesting newbie logs. End of story.

It’s a simple fix, do what they do for Shards of Essence gotten from Fractals where you can break up higher tier materials into many more lower tier.

First it’ll introduce a money sink since for essence shards you needed to buy salvage kits. Secondly t5 material will stay valuable and lower tier materials won’t spiral out of control.

1 hour? Boy try fractal 70+, if you get dredge map, that dredge carrier clearing part alone is 40+ minutes. Why they gave invulnerability to them as they spawn is beyond me as they get to 1-2 shot you from full health before you can even hit them. The dredge map alone takes 2+ hours. When we rolled dredge as a 2nd map, we simply redo fractals because it takes THAT LONG.

I do wish they short of left the way fractals were at the beginning where players can only join as high as a fractal as they achieve because for us early adopters, playing with someone at lv30 meant they too ran it lv30 and will be at the same skill level as you. For me I loved doing fractal lv60 on a daily basis because everyone there is the skill level where you know they won’t screw up repetitively.
I hate how the new players just stack more and more agony resist to make running fractals a joke as opposed to the early days where agony resist were just training wheels to get you learn to dodge agony and once you hit lv40+ its 1 hit KO since AR was capped back then.

Sorry but your definition of difficult for tribulation is flawed. Invisible traps are not hard, you just need to know where they are and simply remember where they are. For example it’s like taking a multiple choice test which you have zero knowledge of but taking the exact test then told immediately if the answer right or wrong as many times as it takes for you to remember them all.

Your quote of how it’s supposed to be more difficult then clocktower for the halloween JP is just wrong. The JP for the clocktower was difficult because it used elements of reflex, dexterity, including some terrain knowledge for doing it over and over.

Tribulation mode is just a kitten trial and error, very poorly thought out. A timed trial would of been more difficult, but this is just silly.

For the love of god, I just spent the past 3 hours getting all the baubles in world 2 zone 2 only to get stuck in the log at the bell right at the boss save for the very last one right after the checkpoint. How’d I get stuck? If you hit the log to hit the bell and try to jump on the log to get across you’ll get stuck inside of it. Can’t dig a bunny to kill yourself because they don’t seem to spawn and if they do they won’t attack you.

Seriously put a mother kittenen suicide button in SAB and both in PvE/WvW because when people are stuck, you’re “/stuck” doesn’t do jack.

Don’t like 95% of all these “mini-legendary” have the worst stat possible on them already and almost forces you to transmute them with the stats you actually want on them? Also what’s stopping people from transmuting them to ascended when they make them?

Exile.8160:

Not fun to play vs this

A warrior laughs at all that condition with berserker’s stance. Also your necros can just as easily return every condition right back at em 3x back to back.

This is one of those rare rare cases where this affects players negatively. You discovered all the recipes for no exp whatsoever but solely so it shows up in your crafting list tab. Doing so probably made you poorer, therefore this affects 0.000001% of their player base negatively while the rest benefit significantly from this.

130811-000585. Still waiting on recovering my gem skin for 3 weeks now.

Submitted a ticket almost 2 weeks ago, and they already responded to we’re trying to fix this.
Eitherway, here’s the original ticket number. 130811-000585

So I must ask, I’m still waiting on my armor piece. I know you’re still working on it but I won’t lie, it’s been awhile…

Went to the norn arena and completed the 8 orbs again. This time I got it, only took 2 tries.

Still waiting on a reply from A-Net to see if its bugged or not as I’m not going to get my friends to waste their time ressing me because this achievement is bugged. If it helps I tried this in the sylvari arena area.

If you want an ez class the best is guardian. Here’s the traits you need, for utilities just take shelter, save yourself, retreat, stand your ground, renewed focus. Use a staff as well, the main focus is retaliation, every utility and virtue will give you retaliation on demand and remove the weakness/cripples on you. Don’t underestimate weakness this cuts your endurance regen which really hurts you.

I just did this achievement 4 times. I had my 2 friends check as well, they did a manual count for 2 of them. WTF is this.

Also a note is that I target mark liadri for all rounds so you can see how many stacks she has, note I have no abilities that inflict vulnerability either.

I bought the pheonix armor set when it came out left it in the mailbox for future use, and on the day when the patch for Queen Jubliee it was gone. I submitted a ticket but the only response was to wait it out, and unfortunately I haven’t heard of anyone else having this issue save for one other and I’m starting to think this isn’t something as wide spread.

I emptied out my mailbox searching for it and checked my bank, character inventory etc so it’s definitely not that I misplaced it.

Anyone else have the same issue?

Robot Chocken.7012:

Asura with wings are the superior race!

WTF no, Female Humans with T3 armor is the master race, because boobs.

Tbh this is nothing, I had the pyro the dude that drops a fire circle that instant gibs if you try to cross and Lidria in the same round. It didn’t last long.

when 2 deadeyes shows up.

I wonder what kind of coding bug makes this happen?

It started to happen real frequently once people got wind of what builds to use. In the early days of the patch when few knew how to farm I’ve never had this occur. I’ve seen too many times where deadeye would just disappear or I’ll kill it and somehow not get credit and teleport to the other side of the map.

I went from farming on mesmer to now on thief. Still doing 5 gambits at a time. A bit harder but still doable with +90% success rate. Used to be 100% success rate on mesmer except when 2 deadeyes shows up.

Really? Last kitten warrior running this died cuz everytime he dumped 15 stacks of bleeds for 20 seconds it was gone 1 second after application then he was smacking me dealing 100 damage with his autoattack.

Much like how people complained about bullcharge->Frenzy->HB because they refused to bring a stunbreaker, this is the same case of bring some condition cleanse. One of the first conditions removed is bleed, and so happens the most damaging condition a warrior inflicts is BLEED.

Also you forget that one guardian, ele, or necro nearby will just randomly cleanse all conditions from 4 other guys making the warrior pretty worthless. I LOVE cond warriors when I’m a necro nothing like tossing the 20 stacks of bleed right back in their face + w/e other junk they threw at me.

The exact thing happened to me as well, but I bought the pheonix armor instead. Last night I went to mail box to check and it wasn’t there, had a big WTF and sent an email to A-Net’s customer support, but I think I probably won’t be hearing from them in weeks…

PS. Glad I’m not the only one that likes to keep things i ntheir mail box, I’ve left my Krytan Armor in there for 8 months and Pact Victory Tokens for 10. Also lol @ Adil complaining in guild chat.

RedSpectrum.1975:

Hold on, you want to make it so that you have to throw more light at her, making the fight harder?

Spelling mistake, meant vulnerability not invulnerability.

I keep count on how many times I hit her with the orb by the invul stacks she has, but the fact that it runs out sometimes or magically disappears makes it hard to keep count.

Already difficult by the fact that the light rifts spawns by the very outer circles just to purposely screw with your camera which is quite idiotic IMO. This achievement Light in the darkness is more luck than anything it seems since you gotta hope the shadows magically walk themselves into the light rifts while your trying to kite Liadri.

I got her down to 4% hp after tossing 8 light at her… and then I ran out of time….

BlackBeard.2873:

Fighting in wvw is the central theme, and it is how havoc crews get things done (cap camps/control points, kill yaks, and maybe take a tower while fighting small enemy groups that come try to stop you).

I disagree with lack of chasing ability. With rush and whirlwind attack, as well as the complete ignorance of control effects, this kind of build has no trouble staying on top of a target.

Also, the food is -40% condi duration, which is still crazy when paired with Melandru (-25%) and the -33% control effects trait for a -98% total.

Believe me, he won’t stay on top of you unless you let him, turn ur back and just run away he won’t deal enough damage to down you. 100% melee character with bad gap closers like warrior can’t kill someone who doesn’t want to fight. Just save your stun breaker when you see him pull out the GS not before since its usually shield bash → skull crack → GS HB.
As for killing it really depends on what class you are using but this build is a very much 1v1 build like phantasm mesmers and is in fact very inferior to mesmer.

The thing about WvW is that there are foods with -40% stun durations you can use… With melandru its -65% stun duration… Tbh you s houldn’t care about a warrior in WvW in the first place because WvW is server vs server not the dude doing nothing for his server running 1v1 builds that do nothing for others around him in teamfights.

Like most mentioned, this is a 1v1 build and mesmers absolutely destroy this build that skull crack builds have very very poor chasing ability, you can literally just walk away and there’s nothing he can do about it.

It’s possible as a warrior but I won’t lie to how many failures that occurred. I’ll give you some tips, first:

1.Roll cleansing ire and a bow because at the second phase you need to stay mobile and keep weakness conditions off you so you can keep moving. Everytime you get 2 stages of adrenaline, you most likely have cripple/weakness on you so use the burst skill to remove it.

2. When running in circles if you are run near the center, as it will first let you cover move from one safe spot of the aoe to another quicker (radius is smaller the closer you are to the center).

3. Use signet of stamina + healing.

4. I’ve noticed u mentioned that you were using a rifle, don’t use it as Longbow has superior dps and arcing shot can be fire with your back turned.

PS. About the achievement of nailing her with 8 light orb… Its in the works and that one is a kittene, for warriors at least.

Defektive.7283:

Bear on the job.6273:

Confusion does very low damage, unless you are specced completely for condition damage. With 0 condition damage, each stack only does 65 damage, so those 4 stacks only add up to 260 damage when they attack…less than retaliation at 916 (base) power. None of your other attacks will be doing any condition damage, so it would be worthless to spec for it.

Distracting strikes is one of the most worthless traits for warriors. It is a condition damage trait in a power-based trait line. It’s a Master level trait too, so you’re wasting 20 pts just to get it. Also, the condition damage based weapons for warrior (sword and longbow) have no way of interrupting an enemy. You would have to rely entirely on utilities.

The trait should be completely reworked, or discarded entirely. I like the idea of giving warriors a way to apply confusion, but it needs to be in the Arms line, and needs to work off a mechanic other than stun. Maybe immobilize would trigger it instead of interrupt.

I’m championing Distracting Strikes changed to ‘Corroding Strikes’:
Applies 4 stacks of Vulnerability for 8 seconds on interrupt.

Please, no my troll condition warrior needs confusion. My warrior currently inflicts every single damage condition to players and this needs to stay and also it kicks kitten .

Nuka Cola.8520:

Got 17 fractal weps and still no staff. Months of spamming stupid fractals and it never drops for me but got bunch of weapons i can’t use on my characters

Wish I can trade you a few of mine. Not shown, but I got 2 daggers, 2 warhorns, 1 shortbow, 2 fractal axes, and 1 scepter being used on another toon. I believe the drop rate was much better at FoTM 60 than 48 before they disabled it. Every daily we ran for 60 daily, at least 2 members of the 5 had one drop for them.

Runes such as superior Golemancer, Forge, Baelfire, etc. All dungeon chest received runes are no longer soulbound on aquire but accountbound…

It’s not that hard of a change is it? Sigils aren’t soulbound why should runes be?
