Guild Wars 2

This question has been asked numerous times.

Celestial in WvW is designed to create an all rounder.

Now theres where u want to draw the line.

The DnD is flexible enough to be in any position except kill guards on a keep from ground level

So if you want to be DPS based 02066 with 1/3 zerk 1/3 celestial 1/3 Knights with the usual cantrips,sigils and strength runes etc

If you want to survive more and do decent damage with 00266 you go 2/3 celestial and the othe 1/3 mixed into cleric and soldier with the usual cantrips,sigils and hoelbrak runes etc

Hybrid ? best to go 02066 with 2/3 celestial and 1/3 into knight and ,zerk with hoelbrak or strength runes and usual rest. Power stacks are better but precision is fine. 00266 is fine but with hybrid you dont have fury long enough to overlap all spells since boon duration nerf.

This varies. Have fun

So you want to nerf a trait that isnt very reliable. Hmm. Let me consider. Errr, no. If anything Diamond skin should be somewhere in the range of 80%. Meaning a 20k hp ele would require atleast 4k of direct damage which isnt really hard to do in wvw.

Because the ele will never heal, especially if with an ele

Sure /15 chars

Yes PU needs major rework.

Nothing to worry. FGS will not get a nerf.

try battleping. It should help.

I guess they want us all to roll warriors , troll build theives and PU mesmer builds

Condition , condition, condition.

Hi, just thought about playing again, but I’d first like to know whether Ele finally got (out of combat) weapon switch by now.
If not then I think I just won’t bother with gw anymore.

If anything its harder.

No weapon switch unless you switch to FGS elite skill,etc which doesnt have any restrictions

I can only speak for the WvW dnd ele

02066 or 00266 are both good traits with the former being much more suitable if u are aiming for more DPS and want to be an aura ele

Celestial mixed with other gears are good

It does work with cantrip regen

Doesn’t work with Mist Form though.

You only really need stability from AoE and damage/mobility/combo from LF

Running settings on low, in a 30v30v30 fight I get about 30-40 fps. In a 30v30 fight about 40-50fps, relatively okay.

CPU: Intel i7-2600k OC’d to 4.3Ghz.
GPU: GeForce GTX 750 OC 1GB.

CPU is bottlenecking, I believe this is why my fps drops a ton sometimes also I cannot run this game in medium graphics in WvW because the lag gets worse. I want to be able to run this game on medium/high so that I can render more people in WvW and see them instead of only seeing their red names above their heads and their invisible bodies. Hard to land important CC that way.

CPU MAX Usage: 35% on task manager.
GPU MAX Usage: 100%.

Anyone has similar problems as mine? Is it just my GPU that needs an upgrade or is it the CPU too? Will a GPU from the 770 series give me an incredible boost to my graphics+fps or is it just a waste of money? I’ve been hearing a lot of broscience lately on GW2 graphics+fps on WvW, please someone set me straight with facts and evidence of any truth.

Regards, Krisi.

I’m running a:

i7 4770k (should give similar performace, depends on your over clocking)
2x Radeon 7870s (not sure how much dual cards matters in GW2)

High Settings
Normal 30v30+: 80-110 FPS
Large scale 30v30v30+: 50-60 FPS

I only run Medium if I am doing something in the background on my PC other than GW2. Like having a second game open, or a bunch of programs.

Usually I would agree that it is the CPU being a bottleneck, and clearly in GW2 it is a huge bottleneck.

But our two CPUs being so similar. I can only see that it is likely your GPU bottle necking you, yes.

Dual graphics card work at around a 70% efficiency range (SLI -Nvidia). When i used to run sli 460gtx back in 2013 , disabling 1 graphics dropped my FPS by 15.

So yes we can now confirm that if you run a 4 core i5 or i7 at or around the range of 3 to 4ghz but have a graphics card below 680 , the upgrade is well worth it. Moreover with large zerg battles with max seetings

For those waiting on the 8XX series of nvidia cards , the 870nvidia card is equivalent to the 780(non TI) Nvidia card.

If you have a 580 or above Nvidia equivalent card i would wait for the 880gtx seeing as dx12 games are still some time away. If you want something now 780TI will smack most cards onto the floor and can be OCed like it was born to do so.

So funny to see the majority pointing warrior as the easiest class to play WvW with group/zerg while it’s the hardest of all, unless your only job is hitting #4 and #5 off-hand warhorn..

Hardest of all? You’ve got to be kidding. I would certainly agree there is a huge different between a bad zerg warrior that doesn’t do much besides 1 spam and maybe cycle horn skills, and a good player that gets the most DPS and stuns out of the build, but there’s no way it’s harder than a necro or staff ele. The latter two have to ground target far more skills to maximize their damage, and have far more active use skills that require decision making on when, where, and how to use. Plus they have to make more decisions on individual positioning. and surviving gank focus when that’s a factor.

As for guardian vs. warrior in zerg difficulty, that’s hard to say. Guardians have a few more skills to actively use and longer cool downs on the x-factor skills like bind / ward, but they also can have 1 or 2 two panic buttons to block / invuln out of sticky situations, and have a laughable amount of personal sustain when traited to AH.

Ele would be the hardest. DnD needs to master (5skills x 4 attunements) + (4 various attunement swap spells+4dodge roll spells) + (4 skills in cantrips/healings/etc) + 5 more in FGS + Combo + CCs + live to tell the tale = over 40 mad requirements

Do that and please showcase the results it would be awesome

I ran it yesterday on our dual 10 core processor system and it ran about as fast as it does on my Haswell laptop. Both those systems have integrated graphics but GW2 performance seems to apex quickly on modern hardware. The crappy FPS and lag in WvW seems to be a limit of the game not the hardware.

Yes. It does seem that playing GW2 at max res on a single screen at 1080p do not fluctuate as much when CPUs run on 4 cores with frequency ranges ofrom 3ghz to 4ghz.

More gain can be seen when playing with a Nvidia 780ti vs 680

old pic. But just a rough idea where they are in the BLs

Hammer warrior. You will fit in well in solo, or small grps, zerging, blobing, gvg, and anything else. Hardest class to master would prob. be an ele

Benchmarks have already been conducted for this game

Heres one

PS. Googling images will show u half a dozen of them

So I have leveled my warrior to level 80 and I want to do more solo roaming. I was wondering if there were any tips for someone who has no experience on solo roaming in WvW.

Thanks all!

For solo roaming remember the rules on duels

/bow to initiate a duel and wait for a bow

Also know where most of the solo fights happen

Ask your mates where the local fight club is

Never laugh or mock your opponents

Choosing a warrior is a good class to start of with as the skill level required to be good is not that high.

Remember to buy food, oils,stones, get rank to 260 so that you can get the 2 most important rank bound traits in the game.

And most importantly , practice on everyone and do not listen to anyone who says the words “cant/shouldnt/no”. You sir are a warrior, the games most powerful class. Go forth and destroy your enemies. GL

Dang, let me delete all the replies.

Works when i use battleping

You have 10 lvl 80’s.

So i take it you PvE.

And now want to get into WvWvW

An ele could fit any type of playstyle. Carry your different gear and now that you can re-trait on the fly there are no problems.

With that said, a warr and guard would be a very good choice.

Acutally infact, its not the game that decides how the player plays the class but
rather how the player decides to play the game. So anything is fine.

Join TC if that is your timezone. JQ and BG sit around the same fence during that period.

T1 is the only server with consistent 24/7 action. It just depends on which side you sit in, bg,jq or tc. All 3 are great with unique aspects

Yeah, another matchup thread.

I think SoS is t1.5 and stuck in between t1 and t2. They have never lost a match post tourney.

This thread will be best discussed in www.gw2wvw.net

There are addressing this situation.

GPU discussion

The 750 is a low end card.

770 is mid end

780 High end

780ti and the titan are very high end

titan z is an ultra gaming card

In my opinion I am of the of the view that sli580,590,680,690,770 are suitable cards

Overkill cards are 780 and above.

Basically anything around 2 gflops is sufficient for this game in high end mode.

RAM

4GB is more than enough on dual channel
32GB is overkill

CPU

Here is the part that GW2 fails

All these are on an i7 intel

3.0ghz – Low end

3.3 to 3.6 ghz – Low Mid end

3.7 to 4.3 – Mid – High End

4.4 to 4.7 High end

4.8 to 5 Ultra

This music would be great for any video and i verily believe such is not copyrighted

If you are playing SEA , please join BG or TC for roaming/solo fights against JQ. If you are NA, JQ would love to have you.

lol @ professional player…

GW is serious business y’all gotta be professional….

I put on a suit and tie before I start playing GW2. Gotta go pro bro.

For sure. I am now selling these hats to all pro gamers

If you are a professional player you do not laugh at an enemy even if you win a 2 v 10 fight.

Kill your foes and move on.

1000gold ! Thats alot of money. Will you accept 1v20?

GL on your event mateys.

I dont understand. Almost rank 700 and i have gotten 4 ascended rings, maybe a dozen exotics, a lot of rares, 2 ascended weapon chest, wp kegs.

All you need is Mark Jacobs

…to sell the game to E.A.

• Zerg is = 20 to 40 players
• A blob = 40 players to 80 players
• A havoc group = up to 10 players whose primary purpose is to take camps and annoy the enemy with the secondary object of killing players
• A roaming grp = a bunch of people 2 to 7ish whose sole aim is to kill with taking camps and towers as a secondary object
• A duo = two players
• GvG = around 15 or 20 players battling it out in an organised open field fight
• Skirmishes = Ad hoc large scale fights
• Fight club = 2 or players , 1v1 each other. Usually done away from the main travel routes.

After I won a 1v3, somebody whispered me and said they reported me for aim-bot.

Why would u need an aimbot for gw2?

Just click the target and see his class,buffs,etc.

Xillllix.3485:

Apparently it takes them more than a year to make a single map (according to them). Their WvW team is evidently super small.

Considering that it’s been 2 years and that we have 1 new map (EOTM), making 3 bl maps would probably take them 5 years at the current pace…

LOL. Also remember how it took 1 year to create a kick button for groups and 6 months to change the color of borderlands from blue to bright blue.

:)

Updated scores. what a week.

Thanks snowreap!

I think gw2 wants to follow the way of tf2.

They will keep ever-greening gw2, so meaning, they will keep continuing with updates and updates and more updates until wvw becomes a polished marble.

DAoC was meant to have a DAoC 2 , eventually but the game was sold to E.A.

So there is hope that GW2 will remain a promising RvRvR clone for a long time. C.U. game will or may be a game changer. We must wait and see.

GvG. Easy. Take Necros,eles,Guards and warriors. Kaboom. Finished.

Will Rangers become mainstream in GvG, too early to tell

You have to be cautious if you are taking an upgraded camp.

Otherwise I see no major issue

• Anet should increase the max group size in WvWvW to 8 , just like DAoC RvRvR. But have it for wvwvw only. Not for pve or anything else.

Irony being that 8 is already the player group count for sPvP in GW2 :/

I forgot about that fact.

Some posters have indicated that GW2 has an aoe cap of 5. Player boon buffs of 5. It would be nice to have those increased to 8. But i fear GW2 may not be ready

I have played DAoC for nearly 10 years.

GW2 will need a radical departure from its current state of WvWvW to be similar to RvRvR. It will be like trying to convert wood into metal.

For those that are wondering, RvRvR was DAoC golden child. It was very important. Whereas in GW2 , PvE and t/sPvP are more of a priority over WvWvW.

• Anet could first add ingame GMs like DAoC had.
• Anet could add community chosen class representatives to provide extra feedback to the class balance team.
• Anet should increase the max group size in WvWvW to 8 , just like DAoC RvRvR. But have it for wvwvw only. Not for pve or anything else.
• Fix commander pins, add password to a commander chat channel so that spies can be removed
• Bring back Orbs like how DAoC had relics. But Orbs have to be as hard to take as DAoC relics. Make it so that it would require absolute cohesion on a server wide basis.
• DAoc could handle 500 players at a go, Anet should refine their code to increase the cap
• Add subtle variations to each BL, just like DAoC. Make it interesting and not routine.
• Modify EB to make it more roaming friendly.
• Increase the difficulty of the standard guard.

Fay.2357:

So, I just watched the video. Honestly, you seem to be doing an awful lot of not much at all. [See my reply 1]

Your damage is very low. [See my reply 2]

You offer close to nothing in meaningful support. Your support begins and ends with mass invisibility. You don’t use glamours, you don’t strip boons, you don’t heal, you don’t boonshare, you don’t really offer any of the support that mesmer can. [See my reply 3]

Honestly, the only thing you do is follow along and tag enemies, while I guess being another red name on the other guys’ screens. Viable? Hardly. I’d take a warrior/guardian/ele/necro/thief over you. [ see my reply 4]

I group with nev as a DnD ele alot of the times so this is my opinion : -

Reply 1

• Nev plays a very important role in our grp and is he is a highly respected within the community.

Reply2

• He does not do low damage. If anything his a beast in WvW.

Reply 3

• In our 2v5 or 5v10 groups his role is just as important as his team mates. A good group has good cohesion. I say he does that well. Very well.

Reply 4

• He helps tag because a good group must not just be cohesive but also assist to down the important targets as well.

I will say Nev is an excellent Mesmer, driver and friend.
