Guild Wars 2

thought people noticed this already :p i guess having burning on 1200 range is not ok with Balance (Ahem)

except that burning applies faster than you autoattack, and ticks over time? burn stacks are definitely over the top at the moment, a single cele ele can easily get 1.5/1.7k burn on your face, which is silly. And i’m not talking about the dedicated burn builds :p

dunno if you watched the esl go4 yesterday, there’s a reason there were overbuffed smashing hulks running the land everywhere.

Still using consume condition with reduced cooldown, i don’t mind the blind on heal, it just requires me to think a bit just after healing and not spam stuff in the air.

i’m liking the idea, but not with the current way rankings are calculated. A MMR profession ranking could be interesting.

for blood bond you just need your staff 2 mark to hit them, along with the dodgeroll mark. or just staff 2 and dark path, works aswell.

Nah Sweet Agony still exists but there’s barely more than one person representing at a time, people switch in and out for funzies, and so do i. I’d love to see the dream come back alive.

30 sec, they buffed the signet :p

No idea if it got removed, didn’t have time to check it all, but otherwise soul marks is coin a rrrrreally good job at replenishing my life force pool. My condo necro actually feels really sustainable now.

edit: my bad i can’t read. well there is this blood magic trait that gives ten percent life force when you draw a condo from allies.

erhhh, blind is a transferred condition, it’s been so for more than a year.
(and it’s the prioritized condi, so a condi transfer cannot miss. ever.)

I’d give both arms and my most recent toothpick for this.

i’ve pretty much been using a variant of that condi build for ages now so definitely positive on it, except that torment sigil, i can’t see it being too reliable with less than 50 per cent crit chance. i’d go for frailty if you really wanted to add a cover condition (alright it does no damage but one stack of torment won’t do much either, plus it’s a reliable 1 stack of vuln every two seconds).

personally i’ve been favoring weakening shroud over hemophilia for ages. even if it’s a shadow of its former self with good timing it’ll still kitten up a quick setup burst.
Also, didn’t know master of terror was not a necessary slot anymore now, definitely will play around with soul marks then as it has been one of my favorite traits for ages

oh, and holl is a scrub, quit debating his MMR already O.O

From my experience it should match up with the higher end of your party’s MMR, at least that’s what happened to me, came back to the game after an eight month break, so, not so great MMR, played with a friend that regularly pvps and instantly got matched with ESL guys.

i’ve tried it and it’s definitely an improvement, i was playing 0 6 2 0 6 before, but with soul marks instead of fitg, so i just had to switch soul marks for this. But i still feel that trait is a bit circumstantial, as we pretty much needdeath shroud’s offensive power it ends up with me being chain stunned just like before, but that’s just me not adapting well i guess :p
i’ll need to play around a bit more, that’s for sure.
I’m personally dreaming of flesh warm not being interruptible (while still taking the same time to appear)

Oh, and another problem is, if you have, say two people going against you, you pretty much have to eat the stun, therefore take damage, to be able to somewhat move around. I feel like two stacks of stability wouldn’t be too much on the trait.

There’s also the fact that it takes the MMR of people into account. i was in the winning team in his last match and i can say we had decent MMRs, for example, so his loss makes him lose less points. there’s that.

Rhaz is in the matchup, so everything will be fine :P

awww that’s so niice <3 i was just thinking these matchup threads lacked a bit of romance!

Vuh.1328:

Talk about nerfing lyssa, perhaps buff some of the UTILITY SKILLS for thief/mesmer when it comes to condi clear instead. Lyssa is just broken, especially on warrior/thief with their stupidly short elites.

Change healing signet for warriors(i honestly thought Hambow was perfectly fine before healing signet…), give warriors a reason to use it or atleast remove the active completly if you want to keep the passive as it is…….. so people can’t press it by mistake!

Spell effect reduction?

Enforce human characters in tournaments, tho i guess that is something the community have to do,(no not team/solo queue) or atleast somehow enforce human models when spectating. For the sake of your viewers

agreed on the lyssa part ^^

This is the 3th week of the same matchup FoW/Vabbi/WSR I believe. Dont know if that has impact on the number of posts but could possibly be I guess. I miss some gnomes also

this, and the fact that it was an important week for a lot of people :p final tests and stuff. it was for me anyway. and now, holidays, kittenword!

For condition necro, all the changes you made seem to be inclining to make us use dhuumfire, by nerfing our damage without allowing a way better survivability for non dhuumfire builds (that i’d like to run like i always did but feel more and more forced to ditch to play the dhuumfire build), and giving other classes better condition removal. i’d like to know what your plan to make non dhuumfire builds more viable in pvp are now, if there are any. are you planning to make condition necro dhuumfire only? are you waiting until you’ve reworked this trait to give us better survivability? right now there are so many condition immunities/ over the top cleanses that i’d like to know what you plan to make us fit your supposed vision of the class “run into a necro, kill him or die, since you won’t be able to run away and he neither”. it really seems like you’re just hating on conditions and planning to make them the worst kind of damage source in the game, i’d like to hear the opposite from you and that you have precise plans.

Forumers are a dying breed.

With the match-up subforum being removed at the start of 2014, yes

/me wave

yeah this sucks. hopefully people will keep making matchup thread in the classic wvw forums ^^ it’ll just be messier than ever. i like my forum shenanigans and i don’t intend to let them go :p

Dat meta :p it looks kind of cool though. i say bring even MOAR banners next time :p

hahaha nice one loved the comments ^^

Tribio.8531:

Namecalling, aaahhh… The drama continues..

i love it!

you mean by that us refusing to sit in all that ac fire? well… i’d say it’s common sense :p
also, xcefior, nicely tried ^^ liked the vid

Bah. Well played Jd. Next time try 2v1 instead of 4v1?

seeing as there are only three jd online in wvw and that we are not in the same borderlands, since everybody is soloroaming i’ll assume it was one [jd] with three pugs, in which case i don’t get your complaint, since this happens all the time in wvw.

You’re assuming it was 3/4 pugs, but not that it happend long before it was posted __

of course ^^ but then if we’re gonna make assumption i’ll assume he attacked a group of 4 poor defenceless jds and they had no choice but to defend themselves :p
also, i can’t really imagine someone holding a grudge for hours and then deciding to post it about a gank to be fair

Please don’t fear me again Rhazmandoo. :P Next time Banish will find it’s way to you. ^^

i’ll try again at a time you’re a bit closer to the edge :p
AND DON’T SCRATCH MY NAME
also, wsr, really? no need to build an ac for two people, you can just get out of that tower like big boys, i mean, once you’re 5 you should consider the fight like “even” no?
edit: don’t mind the above, i’ve seen way worse this afternoon :p

Why are you like this?

what’s wrong? ^^ i’m just expressing that i find it quite ridiculous that five people retreating in a tower are building an ac for two pugs when they could go out and fight, like, for the fun of it you know? especially since they’re all 80
ps: if it sounds like i’m generalizing to a whole server again, i apologize, i ALWAYS write stuff the wrong way ^^

Nubu.6148:

Rly? I thought you had fun ……
Im so sry.

hahaha definetly more interesting than simple PvD also that part when wsr attacked the two of us was fun hehe

Nubu.6148:

Rhaz i like ur golems rush.

that bay was shiny you ruined our fun!

hahaha, well it was nice to see some numbers for once…. autoattack build go go!
(but kitten i’m a distracted person, then i put my dire gear on and kept zerker trinkets ^^ well it worked, so so :p noticed this morning)

Iavra.8510:

Mr Jd necro got his fair deal of sparring today so i expect some facerolling at the event!

hope you were satisfied by my performance :p still not what it used to be but good enough IMO ^^

anyway, t’was a really fun night been a while since i didn’t have the chance to participate to one of these events, and i have to say it is refreshing also, love the arena

would be so nice though.

ah that would be the perfect excuse they’ll have for not allowing healing in DS: “but you could basically go in ds and heal full health”. bam!

I wouldn’t see that being any different then the warrior’s new heal with the signet stance builds..

It would seem logic for the necro to continue its healing in any transfomation (read moa/DS) makes me think they nerfed spectral skills in DS leading up the this signet being introduced.

yeah, now say that to anet and their everending fear of bunker necro please ^^

ah that would be the perfect excuse they’ll have for not allowing healing in DS: “but you could basically go in ds and heal full health”. bam!

well as we have almost no info here is what i think: not a fixed amount but a percentage of damage healed. makes more sense to me

hey i like this idea, at least they went for something more original than just another thief signet. and if the active “allies can heal hitting the target” works like the other skills of the same kind in the game, that could mean that YOU can heal hitting the target. pretty interesting. now if that had decent numbers this could be really interesting sustain-wise.

nuuuuuuuh

I think I will in the name of TasH accept that 10v10 duel invitiation.

5v5* and i advise you think about making it too official :p there will probably be vids somewhere, you might wanna see it just as a fun time thing. aaah nevermind they make vids with that too ^^

Videos are to show fun not to brag, pfft. That’s another shame you have brought!

stop! i was kidding KI DDING! :p

yaaay my first occasion to really test this arena

Tzuuu.2781:

You have brought shame to Jd you silly Rhaz ):

shhhh nobody noticed yet :p

bows

Warbanner rezz on AA. I’m your Daddy!

What can man do against such evil?

HA! corrupt stability on fear! who’s your daddy!

alright, that’s it, give me fear on scepter autoattack and i’ll feel balanced!

alright, i might have badly used the word drama, i meant it ironically, but that may not have been the right term here, i find it hard to find my words sometimes. guess you got the idea anyway ^^
now back to our subjects, what makes PU so strong actually, it’s only a trait that gives some boons during stealth no? doesn’t sound so overpowering to me

ah, well, same for me, i actually kinda sucks against necros (well ventari was a challenge haha), i’ll fight you with pleasure, as it’ll be a really good practice
and yeah, gotta love these sneaky PU mesmers stealthing all the time :p
