Guild Wars 2

wow so rich. love your gear. those skins are expensive. wow. so great. what dungeon?

I wanna pewp on the OP and guy above me for being elitist turrrdz
<3 <3 <3

Why y’all get intimidated with premades? If y’all confident with your skills, premades mean nothing. They could be just a bunch of scrubs that finished a dungeon. Y’all have no idea the number of people that queue ranked with minimal knowledge of map rotations and build profession. I flatulate on premades.

I’d rather be in a team of singles than one with a 2-3 man pre.

Coulter.2315:

Its possibly the same number of Premades just with fewer Singles.

Fewer singles?

Oh noes. I better photoshop my profile pic on match.com to look 80lbs thinner.
Competition seem very high with fewer singles around.

If people in my team give me a hard time for being a thief, I annoy them even more by putting on stealth while they cap. I laugh coz they rage like they’re on ’roids.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I won with another thief on my team. All I can say is that my teammates carried me hard.

is that what it is? my main acct’s in the top 250.

one more thing i’d like to ad is, they weren’t good at all

each round i was in had at least 3 rangers. i played 4 rounds. seems excessive to me. and im sure there are reasons why

pls do something abt this.

OE is not a snob and he answered my random engie questions on mapchat like 2 yrs ago. He admits he’s not a good sportsman but the guy is very approachable in-game

people with no business being in ranked match queuing for it. however it’s been that way since they obliterated solo queue. but i agree it has gotten worse lately.

Hmm so he didn’t change attunements?

Perhaps it’s still possible with the scepter dagger. He could have started with RTL, LS, LF, AB, AW all of which are instant while having traited air training, stone splinters and vital striking – each giving an extra 10% dmg.

this is an incredibly glassy build however I remember doing almost 9k damage with fire grab but it has a 3/4 sec cast.

Phantaram.1265:

Huge congrats to oRNG. First 3 games were some really fun games despite them being so frustrating when losing by so few points. We had lost moral as a team by the 4th unfortunately.

Tage 100% deserved the MVP too. He’s not the greatest english speaker but he was super awesome the little he did speak to me. And of course likely the best guardian GW2 has seen.

Anyways, congrats again oRNG!

What a good sport, this Phantaram. That’s how most Americans are, tbh.

glad oRNG won coz orange is my fave color and double ele teams are annoying to watch and play against.

Why waste your resources on something that will bring very little value or return instead of using them where they matter most.

The Deer

Unprovoked, I receive the most snide and offensive comments and PMs when I use it…thus further increasing the entertainment value I extract from the game. Its great against the newest batch of Legendary Champs and PVEers who spent all but 2 weeks in hotm and think they know it all and better than you bcoz their finisher is higher up the chain.

Rabbit finisher is over used and doesn’t deliver the subtle message of being outplayed by a noob as good as the deer.

Also, there is a ginormous skill and overall knowledge disparity between the very first r80s or at least those who got there before any buffs were introduced and the recent ones. HUGE.

Kisses! I’m always sweet, never salty <3

Dredrum.2563:

The Necro changes are pretty weak this patch.

Not just this patch but every patch except one but that was back in Spring 2013 and was nerfed to the ground almost immediately after.

Conaywea.5062:

The should nerf engi turrets only in pvp dominion maps , give a restriction of 1 turret or something .

And people who say that arent op , explain the large amount of people who play them , including me

Turret engies are not op. I’ve been playing the engie for a while and never ever had any problems encountering turreteers.

This boss was ez and I beat it with one try alone wo going online for instructions. I did the ring thing wo killing the dude coz I didnt kno one could do that. I used my trusted engie w almost 100% uptime on speed buffs along with jumping boots utility

The character I play most is a female sylvari so I found this disturbing at first. Then I realized it was a Charr who started all the trash talking. I shrugged coz no one takes those war crazed puzzykats seriously.

Josh Davis,

Your employers seem to dislike and/or neglect necromancers. After dhuumfire nerf, we’ve been getting nothing but marginal buffs and we still paid a price for the marginal buffs w Lich form nerf. To sum it all up, our class have received negative returns from balance updates.

I recently downed 2 ppl at a point while maintaining almost full hp and most skills off CD as ele. Its not my main either and I know plenty of eles can pull that off so it’s not really skill based.

Engies are NOWHERE near as OP as eles. I play both and I freakin have a hard time dying as ele while I burn and blast ppl to death

You can’t jump in gw.

Isn’t OP a PUG as well? Nothing wrong with that but it seems to me that you are putting both PUGs and engies in a bad light.

Celestial eles are way bigger ahsswholez to fight against

There was this mean and nasty ranger I encountered not long ago. We were in a 2v2 by a point fight when I downed and stomped him. I guess my awesome deer finisher isn’t as cool to him as his tiger finisher

Instead of helping his team capture points, he went on to hunt me. On the second encounter, I downed and stomped him again. But this time, I sat and danced on his body bec he was saying racist remarks.

But I’m not mad coz I have so much love to share

Ping me in-game so we can get you back on top 100. Thanks for the gift.

PSILO.4068:

I’m glad it did!!!

Especially since you’ve never beaten me. And you used to be (emphasis on ‘used to be’) on my “friends list” with the nickname ‘trash.’

But. I’m happy you remember me and keep me in your thoughts. Keep it up and you’ll earn yourself a reach-around!!! Happy holidays, buddy!!!

Dang son, why be bitter. More than anything, I admire your accomplishments. If people with inferior skills can rank, anyone can! And that’s why it made my day. One last thing, I dont know who YOU IS

:)

messiah.1908:

+1 to op

i give you example from yesterday tpvp i had
group of 4 guildeis looked 1 more so i wispered them and told them i am mesmer with condi mtd build (not power shatter) they took me anyway (which is nice)
they had 1 power mesmer
no ts (so i had to chat before the fight and observe the map more often to see movemet)
i went middle with 2 home 3 middle split. we cap it and i run to far for 1v1
i won and cap it. then 2 enemeis came for 1v2 and i hold it for 1 min while killing 1. then another 2 came and i manage to contest in 1 more minute until the 4th came and i run away.
what happend in those 2 -3 min? that because i manage to do 1v3 for 2 min my team hold easily 2 points for 3 min and we won
what happend after the match – kicked out… i wispered ty and wonder why

answer – you play mesmer and we have one already and you dont use meta build….
i lol- common guys 1v3/4 and instead of asking me how i did it they kicked me… not using meta build

i know meta is for the average ppl who dont open their mind to new skills/ build etc..
sure are great builds which optimom for pvp arena but maybe just maybe another build will arise after new patch to test out…

so i guess only after some OP mesmer player would test it and confirm it so other followers confirms it either . no hope for the meta…

Ugh your guildies seem narrow minded and shallow for kicking you out due to your non meta build. But I think they did it because you werent on TS. Some people are super anaal about TS

WP costs money coz the Asura had to invest in R&D and outsourced bookah labor to have them constructed all over Tyria. Gotta pay licensing fees and royalties to Asura, technology aint cheap. Other option is for you to walk instead…

Enough said,
OP = noob warrior

I may have a sliver of sympathy if the yet-another-whine post came from an engie or guard.

BUT from a warrior!!!!

OMFG out of all classes. Suggesting the nerf of DS and comparing it to adrenaline!!!! Dude L2P warrior. It’s already easy as hell to play

Because I dont think it’s random seeing how precursors, ascended and exotic drops are distributed. Some accounts just get so lucky with boss drops and MF. I’ve never gotten a precursor, exotic worth over 3g and ascended gear. And that’s after spending 1200g on MF. Not a single ascended gear.

Then on a guildie’s only one account he scored 2 precursors from MF, a precursor killing a lord in wvw and no exagg…. 9 ascended boxes.

Properly neglected, the necromancer.

Devs refrained from investing their manpower/resources on our beloved class.

I felt that Siphoned Power was a randomly generated trait. Because if any thought, no matter how little, was put into that slot, they would have realized how ridiculous it currently is.

Lutete.5379:

According to the pie chart, the class I play most is engineer

That explains everything. Engineers despise necros for our condi goth emo abilities.

…it all seems like a blur to me but I think the last time necros got a buff was from the June 2013 update. Then everything went downhill from there. It’s still a fun class to play but the margin for errors aren’t as forgiving

Except I’m rich and you’re not. Interpersonal skills (understanding people, in case you didn’t know) will take you to great heights in life. I don’t expect socially inept people to understand where I’m coming from.

This game is not deep or advanced enough to have mandatory comms. If the team is fully aware of the roles and know how to read and respond to the map, the yelling, screaming and sometimes impulsive instructions may be a handicap. It’s so much better to play peacefully provided everyone knows what they’re doing. It also allows you to concentrate and think strategically.

In the case of the OP being deaf, I would probably give him the chance to try out because of the simple reason that when a person has a disability or weakened sense, expect one or two of the other senses to be abnormally superior i.e. better hand-eye coordination and so forth….

Except it is and you’re wrong, also nice tinfoil hat reasoning in the 2nd paragraph lol.

Yes I was referring to the EU candidates since my main account is based there. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/allstarsvote

I think you mentioned Zombify a few months ago when I asked who the top/favorite NA necros were. Mad props to him for representing the best class ever despite its imperfections

Bhawb.7408:

Furious.2867:

Have you been following the candidates for gamescom? Not a single necro.

Zombify is a Necro, one who has been around for ages (#Zombify4Gamescon) and is on the list for NA, EU has never really had many Necros in the high tier scene consistently so its not a big surprise they didn’t have a Necro rep.

Have you been following the candidates for gamescom? Not a single necro. Guardians probably have the best defense against Lich form. Most necros prefer golem over Lich due to the weaknesses outlined here. Learn to play and stop resorting to why a certain class needs a nerf due to your incompetency.

necro as my main, i agree w op about warriors being powerful to the point where it felt cheap and “bargain bin-ish” …at least for me.

but as a newbie guard, i have yet to find out how they compare to warriors

My main is a necro, I have 3 of which 2 are 80s. I love playing the power necro, zerker gear in pvp because you have to survive doing so-so damage against your opponents first before you could do legitimate damage. It’s the least popular of all necro builds but I love it and am pretty effective with it.

Tried playing a warrior. It was meh. I thought the condi warrior was more enjoyable than hambow.

I started a guardian yesterday. I will use it mostly for spvp and tpvp but I had enough tomes to get it to 80 so that I could wvw too.

I seem to find the guardian gameplay to be the most honorable and respectable in the game. No annoying, cheap, cheesy builds. It could be I’m biased because almost all of the wvw commanders are guardians.

Please share your favorite spvp/tpvp guardian builds. I don’t copy and paste other players’ builds but I don’t mind being inspired by them. I’d appreciate something that would set me in the right direction.

To be optimistic, I’m uber happy that Training of the Master is FINALLY fixed

Bhawb.7408:

If I got more than 10fps on a good day I might stream and teach people how to get rank 80 and top 100 on the leaderboards by afking with minion.

I do know that a good slice of the top 100 made it there thru their other “minions” (carrying teammates)

kishter.9578:

You should leave MM in PVE, bring a decent build for pvp. No wonder why people laughing as us whit build like this.

SMH

The ds build offers some flexibility on utilities unlike mm which requires absolute commitment in traits and utilities. Mm is the best build for pvp but game designers chose to constrict its growth/other possibilities

With a guardian escort, it’s almost possible to run a power ds build in pvp. I recently went against a team with 2 d/d eles with no thief on our team to control them. I quickly changed from mm to ds and it worked to our advantage.

In wvw, necros will always have a special place in the hearts and minds of field battle commanders. We have overcome extreme clutch situations thru the necro’s plague.

In pvp it’s a different story. In the highest tier, the necro becomes the weakest link for the team. Only if you have a guardian friend you can roam to points with can a necro become somewhat of an asset but you still remain the #1 VIP on the opponents KOS list.

XApocalypse.8739:

Are you not playing the game? Are you kidding me? Necro takes zero to no skill using staff spam and using all minions which you don’t have to control and you say they are useless? They are op!

Do you actually play a necro? Staff spam…with minions??? I guess you’re right that it takes zero skill to run that build because maybe zero necros think it’s optimal.
