Guild Wars 2

I’m looking for a good hour long Youtube guide or multi part guide that explains from the ground up how to play Mesmer in WvW or sPvP or even video that explains WvW and sPvP in general. Not looking for a “If you don’t build this and do exactly what I tell you then will loose”, but a guide that will explain everything from the basics to advanced so I can enjoy WvW and sPvP combat and begin to understand on such a level that i am able to think of PvP builds and play styles for myself. By no means am I looking to be a pro but I do want to have fun even if I loose a fight.

If any of you are familiar with Day9 from Starcraft 2 then someone like him but for Guild Wars 2 would be perfect.

Thanks in advance.

In case anyone hasn’t realized yet, they nerfed dungeon tokens for multiple characters. Before today, you were able to run a dungeon path on different characters and get the 60 token reward on each one once a day.
So for instance, I have 6 level 80s, so I could run CoF p1 6 times, once on each, and get 360 tokens, which is about enough needed for a bodypiece or weapon. Now, I only get the 60 token reward once regardless of what character I use. Getting that same 360 tokens for a weapon or piece of armor will now take me 16 run of path 1, or 14 runs if I also do a path 2. This is ridiculous, they’ve more than doubled the number of runs someone has to do to get a piece of gear in a day.
Besides that, it discourages using other classes in dungeons. I used to be rewarded for having multiple alts, but now there is no point. Why should I run CoF on anything other than my Warrior or Mesmer now? I’m better off only using the class that is most optimal and never using my others. When I level a Necro, will I ever use it in dungeons? Probably not now.
There needs to be more public outcry about this change so the devs can see that we don’t like this. There is nothing wrong with rewarding people for taking the time to level and gear multiple characters. I don’t want to be forced into only playing one character, I want to play all of them, but by nerfing these tokens I am being discouraged from doing so. I don’t even care if we don’t get the gold reward each time, you can leave that account bound, but give us a reason to run the same path again on a different class. We had a fine reason for doing it before, there was no need to make this change.

yeah it must be a real chore to have to grin……. oh wait this an mmo. but yeah anyway those of us with only one level 80 have had to do it like this for ages, suck it up and go do another dungeon, you can usually get a mix of dungeon armour with same stats just as fast as you did out of one before the nerf., you’ll just have to spend a few silver waypointing and add a bit of variety to your day. you haven’t been screwed by anet, they are trying to get you to new things or a greater variety of things in your daily grind. maybe now I can stand outside honour of the wave and not wait for over 45 minutes just to get a run………..

Hi I am relatively new to sPvP and WvW, I main Warrior and I seem to have a considerable amount of trouble with CC heavy classes and condition heavy classes which seems to be most if not all.

I would like some tips on how to handle each class in combat including my own, not looking for builds as such, I need to figure that out myself or I’ll just be using other people’s builds that people counter. i need to know how to approach each class, what method of thinking I can use and the abilities best suited for that class along with a step by step or blow by blow guide of how a fight with X class should play out and why.

I have tried a heavy CC removal/Stance based build in sPvP and I still getting pretty much stomped, I feel the warrior is just so ill equipped in a battle once it’s laid it’s initial burst down, don’t get me wrong the burst is amazing and more often than not results in their death be it by my hand or a team mates. I feel i constantly have my feet nailed to the floor and that balanced stance is useless if it gets removed from me, which happens nearly every time. Dolyak signet is good and the trait that removes immobilize on move skill usage but the problem is that any CC is almost immediately reapplied and I’m screwed.

I have also tried the opposite end of the spectrum and tried a CC/Condition heavy build myself with Hammer, Mace, Shield and sword combo’s but find that most classes just remove it all so fast that I’m left standing there with a crazed un hittable ferret whirling around me making fun of me.

Home Server = Aurora Glade.

This is the first MMO I have truly stuck with and enjoyed, having bot stomped for a few months I am starting to get into WvW and sPvP, albeit with extremely limited success as I have no idea what I’m doing.

I am looking for a large guild that are active in WvW and sPvP that are willing to teach someone completely new to MMO PvP. I have played allot of League of Legends and understand the importance of team composition and roles but my character control and ability use need allot of work, The guild I am looking for must be one filled with people who have a sense of humour but know when it’s time to put on their serious pants. I am from the UK so a UK based guild is what I am looking for.

Convo me in game.

This drives me absolutely nuts, I think anet leave it there knowing it does, Hope they fix it soon.

Same stuck on “Ranger Pet Swap” tried it on low hp, full hp etc etc and i’m still stuck, been at it for 45 minutes of constant swapping.

Unable to complete the Hint achievement “Ranger Pet Swap”. Tried swapping them on low hp, full hp etc etc and i’m still stick on this last hint. sitting at 98% and I need the points.

So I looked at my shiny Zenith skin on my CoF Greatsword and now everyone has one. It occurred to me that the original skin fits better with the armour combo I’m going for and I don’t want to grind out the great sword again unless I plan to use the Zenith for a Mesmer so I came up with the following idea (probably already thought of but no harm in putting it up anyway).

My suggestion is to make a dye for the gem store that costs say 175-225 gems and will reset a piece of armour or a weapon back to it’s default skin and destroy the skin. But if you wanted to keep the skin as well as the original weapon you could put a variant of the skin remover at 325-375 gems. This would make sure people really think about whether or not they want to keep the skin or destroy it . for example the Jade Greatsword skin on your Warrior might look out of place but would look awesome on a Guardian.

Thanks for the advice, would like to see a few more responses and words of advice although the mesmer is becoming more and more appealing the more I look at it. The necro looks fun as well but niether of them seem to be able to level as fast as a warrior and I’m worried leveling the two may drive me up the wall.

Would like to hear from a few engineers as well.

Thanks, hopefully we can get a skin remover item in he gem store or something.

I would like to remove weapon/armour skins to reset weapons/armour skins to their default style. is it possible to wipe the skin, not bothered about loosing it as it’s a zenith skin.

So this is my first MMORPG that I have successfully managed to get a character up to level 80 without walking off and yawning at about level 50 or so (See RIFT and other such MMO’s). I currently have a level 80 Charr Warrior, level 10 Charr Thief and a level 13 Human Elementalist, while I’ve had a blast in the dungeons which I’ve never got into in the other MMO’s i’ve played mainly because of the people unwilling to let me go in with them, being generally inaccessible to noobs such as myself due to inexperience, lack of brains and having a Leroy Jenkins mentality that comes from my FPS day which you guys seem to embrace when I come bounding over as a Charr Warrior for CoF P1.

I’m at that point where I am now dipping my toe in WvW and sPvP with laughably limited success, WvW seems very daunting without one of you blue icon chaps giving orders and sPvP seems only fun when you have at least 3-4 mates in there with you having a laugh at how your Warrior seems to have his feet nailed to the floor (i hate ranger’s, more specifically my mates ranger).

So now finally the what I am getting at, I want to go more into PvP with 2 more characters and would love some on advice on where I should go next, I would like something that is a challenge and aggressive and a supportive class, I don’t know why but guardian never appealed to me although I should at least try it and engineer seems to be very niche, while Mesmer seems to be the most challenging and rewarding, not forgetting the other classes of course. That being said i would like to extend my PvE interactions as well.

You’ve probably realised by now that i am pretty clueless when it comes to MMO’s, you can blame Call of Duty and Battlefield for my lack of errrr mind brainz.

Appreciate any help and advice.

Bump, i have the same issue of loosing my mouse cursor all time and with camera lock on it would be nice to have aswell.

Balthazar Temple event is stuck at Rally Point on the Aurora Glade server in Europe.

Tried reseting by starting the whole event chain from Trinity Fort but once we hit Lone Post we defend the post and then it get stuck there. Rally Point will not continue as a result.

So this is the first MMO I have ever put any decent amount of time into, I love it but good lord I die alot (If you’re an elitist and you’re gonna reply with “Don’t die” then don’t bother commenting).

Now my armor repair cost at level 48 is about 5-5.5 silver right now. my question is how is armor repair cost calculated. is it a set amount of coin per level, calculated on % of damage to armor or does it increase the more you die ?. What is the max cost of armor repair at level 80 and does armor type e.g rare/exotic/legendary affect cost.

Some clarification would great and much appreciated.

11) move skills with skill bar.

Sorry, don’t get your point..

Sorry keyboard derp, i meant move skill within the skill bar, for example switch skill 3 and 5.

Customizable skill slots. move skills around depending on what you have equiped.

Customizable skill bar, move skill around so you can have lung skill on 1, debuffs on 2, 3 for all weapons.

11) move skills with skill bar.

15) move skills within skill bar

Also add the ability to move skills within the skill bar.

Topic was already made 2000x use search forum before opening another Topic which was suggested 10x already!

Or we can all just ignore you.

If it’s all in one post it’ll get buried and lost, the more posts then the more they’ll notice it.

+1 for justice, essential feature but for those who don’t want it then dont use it. don;t just stand there and say it’s not needed.

+1 for justoce, a basic function like this would be awesome, to those who say it’s not needed then don’t use it if it’s available, don’t restrict us who want/need it.

I would like to see the function of dragging and dropping skills within the skill bar so i can shuffle them around depending on what skills i have available.

For instance i would like to move skill 1 to skill slot 4, this basic function exists in most games why not guild wars. it’s simple enough to do.

I would like to see an option to turn my character while not having to hold the right mouse button down and a wider range of allowed keybinds. freeing up the RMB would open up more options for combat and make it a whole lot more fluid during combat.

The best way to show you what i mean would be to give Neverwinter a quick try, the control scheme for that is pretty fluid and intuitive.

I believe it would also greatly improve the accessability of PvP for beginers such as myself. Poor control schemes or limited control schemes have always detered me from most mmo’s, arpg’s and any PvP they have i just flat out can’t play.

I have heard of a mod that allows for this kind of action in the form of a macro but there is some who say it’s bannable, obviously using it would be dumb so i would like to avoid the temptation all together and ask the guys at GW2 to add this feature.
