Guild Wars 2

This week, we need the new kids on the block the defeat the arch nemesis. Also we have mad respect for TC. For them to work their way into T1 after almost 6 months in limbo state, they are remarkable.

If its a staff ele, a smart one, they are usually behind or at the side as they attack. If you see em, stick to em like a magnet and dont let them cast anything.

If its a SnD ele , look for their constant strafing from the left to right with a constant stream of lightning targeted on you. And their attempts of trying to land a dragon tooth on you.

If its a DnD ele, look for in your face fights. They dont call DnD eles battle mage for nothing. Use chill on DnD to slow down attunement swaps and keep a distance if possible.

By making all ascended gear, and not just some, purchasable with Luarels and badges.

And allow crafters to sell their ascended wares so has to create a crafters markets like DAoC did.

lol didnt notice that.

Now i can make frech toast in the morning.

So from the replies, rings arent special, but Armour piece drops are. Dear Anet lord of RNG, a nice knight ascended Armour piece would be awesome. /Prays.

48k is nothing. I kill rabbits with fireblast for over 400k in damage. Infact all that remains is dust.

nirvana.8245:

I have around 1500 ranks about now. Ive had about 6 rings. All trash though because farmed fractals for my rings. Even with 8 classes, rings aren’t hard to come by as long as you enjoy fractals. The best thing I got from a rank up chest was ascended Angchu armor (Toughness, Power, critical damage) which was very useful. Best drops I have had is chaos gun (Quip precursor, dropped from a player) and an ascended armor chest (dropped from a tower keep lord) that wasn’t the stats I want for anything. I had an ascended weapon drop as well but my account was hacked the next day and they had to reset my account which lost me around 50 WvW levels, the ascended weapon and 2x 10 Agony resist. I also had purchased collectables expansion to 1000 slots and after the reset I couldn’t repurchase them so now Im locked permanantly at 250 per stack and TP won’t let me buy more because I have already theoretically purchased the maximum.

On a side note, I thought you were one of those hardcore players, Fuzzionx, with thousands of WvW levels? Or is that just one of your classes?

I play about 8 to 14 hours per week. Got RL stuff to do.Only 1 toon

So its confirmed, ascended Armour drops as well?

Welcome to GW2.

All of us had to start somewhere.

If you have yopur armour,build,traits,keybinds all set up , you can start straight away at WvW.

The best way is to roam with a buddy or in a small group. You do not need sPvP to be a star player.

When many of us started in GW2 during beta, we had no clue what traits and builds were good ,etc. Now you have that (Just ask for help from the warrior board if you do not have one.)

It took many folk 3 months to start to know what to do. GW2 doesnt have a steep learning curve and not every player is as good as another player even with the same exposure.

The important thing is to roam, make friends, go in small groups and improve from there forth.

Compared to other MMOs with 3 sided warfare, gw2 isnt hard. But no sweat. Go have fun and dont give up.

Worse case scenario, maybe melee tank isnt your thing, some love magic, and that might be your hidden talent.

Good luck and have fun

- Sanitary Mastery

Gain 30 seconds of Swiftness after scrubbing a toilet?

And at level 3 , Gain 2 days of invulnerability from having to use the toilet.

WOOOTT . I feel like a hero.

9sec is the lowest CD on attunement swap.

Go with the celestial acc. and backpack. Hold off on Armour.Go for soldiers mix with some cleric for now. Get your legendary since you can change stat any time(i have 2) so u will never be affected by anything thrown at you.

Ferocity changes have been calculated to mean an average drop of a toal of 10% crit damage overall. Expect that in the upcoming 18th of March Patch.

WIth the 2 new masteries being released on 18th march, you better get prepared for 540 ranks.

The basic law is What are u building

Tuffness and Vit are important as a ratio of 0.7 to 1

Then again we all dont know what is going to happen with the 18th of march patch with celestial changes.

I was told that they have left this thread open for discussion.

It makes sense, they HAVE to know about it as they replied to my other topic. So it could very well be true and that Ele is the only one they havent got “nailed down” yet so seeing how we react, what our views are and such could be a good way to go.

With that in mine. My Vote goes to a Arcane Condition based Elite. Something in the Vein (but better) of Reaper of Grenth. A kind of Mix between that and Plague Form.

But rather than it being a transformation it is like Reaper in that it is active and doing its work. We get to still use our weapons and such but the twist is…

While it will have a set number of conditions that go off automatically – My vote would: Poison, Chill and Torment to proc from the skill itself and then us being in different attunements would proc others:

Fire: Burning and something
Air: Blindness and Weakness
Water: Vul and something
Earth: Bleeding and Cripple

Duration: 20seconds
Cool down: 180seconds
The conditions would proc every 2 seconds. Conditions would last at base 5seconds per a proc

This sounds more like a nerf than an actual elite skill

I was told that they have left this thread open for discussion.

If for WvW, i wouldnt suggest glass. at the very least knights mixed with some celestial.

back to wvw

A respected member of the guild Tempest Wolves [TW]. He will surely be missed by all of us here.

Wish you the best in RL!

Then why not the SoR forums or TW forums, 99% of the people here don’t really care tbh.

Well we do have 3.2 million GW2 players.

no read the forums, someone mentioned insider info regarding cisco on the matter. Somewhere the BG v Jq v SOR matchup thread

http://www.gw2wvw.net/forums/na-matchups

from www.gw2wvw.net where this has been discussed, anet was affected as well.

An engineer has a better chance than an ele at 1vX. With that said, play what u like.

This is classic DnD build stolen from some dude in another forum and modified. Tanky built.

This one is stolen from somedude here with minor mod. High skill level required but can 1vX well

If theres no ICD, i guarantee you every class will shout nerf. There will be an ICD. The question is if anything more then 9 seconds or 10 seconds max, things like 20seconds, will make this elite as good as tornado.

If this ELITe is indeed true, and the passive not above and ICD of 9 sec and lasting 1 3/4 seconds, this would make SnD trait now more viable because you actually land a dragons tooth even before the person can dodge it .

I can see very good uses in other spells as well esp for combos, just imagine DnD, F3 then F5. Near 7 to12k damage in that short second

No problems in BGBL killing BG

Many of the EMP core members merged into SF. Some TKG members are with NS. Waha hasnt been seen in a while since his laptop exploded but we manage.

Not really sure. I know its winner goes up, and loser leaves the torny. The loser then battles the lower tier winner and only if the lower tier winner wins the loser of the upper tier then that world goes up to fight the original winner until 7 rounds are over and a winner is called.

• You see, according to quantum mechanics that the asurans discovered, there are 24 parallel universes in total and after having discovered the stargate mechanics from aliens delivered 20000 years ago, the enemy is constantly trying to eradicate each universe so that in the end there can only be one. Also i am very sure I quoted 3 movies in that paragraph.

They have raisins in them. Someone at lions arch is to be blamed. !

Used to be able to post a picture on the match up thread and the enemy servers would deal with it internally but since the match up threads were wiped there has been a huge increase of exploiters and hackers because they know they can get away with it now…!

That’s an interesting point that the community is now in a much more difficult situation to self regulate.

Not true. You can now name and shame at the anet suggested website at www.gw2.net

We cant. The NSA is watching us.

I would give Eles a new main hand weapon like a 1h sword or something.

I dont have time to watch em. Can i get a summary?

Well atleast this beats 90% of the eles elites.

We at the Onion Division of Anet would like to inform you,

That we take your enjoyment of pounding and being pounded very seriously. Since you are being pounded by a female who was hacking her way into pounding we shall look into this matter as soon as possible. Since you are unable to pound, as you suggested, please go have fun with whatever you were having fun before pounding.

I would like to know.

Rangers are awesome in small mans

Stealth is a game mechanic that follows DAoC. If gw2 is DAOC2 then stealth as to stay

The max for me in WvW in DnD is 7+k firegrabs and around 10+k churnning earth.
on high ranked players. But thats rare. Very rare.

For every 100 points you put in Tuffness, you reduce your damage, i.e. from a 1000 hit
by 380. For every 100 points you put in vitality you get 1000 hitpoints. This is without factors counted in.

The amount for WvW DnD ranges from

16000 to 20000 hitpoint
1300 to 1800 tuffness
400 to 800 healing power

These are the ranges.

So if you given 10 points of stat

I would put 5 in vitality , 3 in tuffness and 2 in healling power

Thats for DnD builds

Updated with special chart included.

the two approved templates for WvW

This is a basic classic template with average skills neeeded

This is a template requiring more skill but can result in serious damage

Arkana.7583:

Fuzzion.2504:

SnD just isnt as effective in WvW VS a skilled DnD ele. Anet as improved the SnD since Day1 but a simple skill like dragon tooth needs a buff especially if F3 on DnD is now being made an evade skill. F3 can hit hard while being an immediate attack and a combo with e4 and soon to be A3 on DnD. But play what you like.

Oh I don’t care of WvW, i’m only playing PvP, It’s my fault i didn’t say that before. (may be they should add 3 versions for one skill, 1 for PvE , 1 for WvW and one for PvP, but I guess it’s hard for them) And i don’t play S/D or D/D I don’t like it very much now i’m playing S/F on a bursty fresh air build, some players don’t know how to handle focus yet.

And I guess in WvW eles are playing bunker D/D builds with toughness, or glassy staff eles no?

It changes.

At the start of WvW in 2012, most eles were staff. We had turtle builds due to not having limits on heal targets.

There were some SnF from GW1 players

Then DnD become very popular due to its ability to 1v3 with ease.

SnD became popular with the fresh air builds.

Then with condi meta hitting hard, eles went back to DnD bunker builds.

But with the changes that have occured and will occur, we will see much more knight based DnD eles.

And offcourse , most DnD eles do carry a staff incase it is needed.

The future is not set yet, but i forsee DnD in WvW to be a majority of the eles when not needed to be staff eles.

The reason why folks complain about the RTL nerf is that it was hit with 3 nerfs , 1 was the distance, 2 was the cooldown and 3 was the effect of gravity on the skill that made it feel like ride the rock.

Leave the distance, but hit it with 2 and 3, but all the nerfs combined was uncalled for.
