If it’s a thief and 4 DH you should rofl
Kite them off point then smash them and dance on their kittens. If you didn’t even see them coming pay more attention. At some point they were in your scopewhy are you talking about pvp.
Umm ok?
Wvw is a pvp setting.
‘Points’ are also a focus of wvw.
Forts? Camps? Controls? Sm? See the shiny circle?
I really think this needed to go unsaid.
Inc “u wot m8” inb4
Saying “by far the best” followed by “viable” is not sense of making bass ackwards.
Grammatical errors subject to whim.
I never had problems with toxic players running pug dungeons. But I also never chose the listing saying 1337 2 cool run zerklyfe. Those listings usually took longer anyways as the people running in them are uttekittens.
Trick isn’t to nerf everything. Diablo 3 after 3 years is moving into the top mmo slots. Why? They only nerf exploits, the rest is move the classes up to par. Their current endgame content is similar to fractals but the difficulty scales infinitely. Their classes are all within 4 levels of difficulty that they are able to complete after their last balance patch.
So let’s stop throwing around nerfs and throw solutions.

Tbh I target the DH in my pvp matches. You can stomp his blocks and stay off his traps making him an easy kill.
Stomp his blocks stay off his traps……. u wot m8? Gotta stay of tha tpoint in conquest broooooo, no need to cap :^)
Clearly stated. Shutdown his blocks with an unblockable. The trap will not generally cover the entire capture point. Nor can he maintain a trap on point indefinitely if he wants to burst you down (as is your complaint in the title). What are you doing while all this is going on? If you’re doing it right he should be dead by the time he realizes his traps failed.
Aaaaand he will just place new ones once again due to CDs start couunting down after placing a trap. Also unblockable attaks? Do you even meta…
You don’t seem to have been playing the game if you’re not up to date on unblockable. Really it seems this is your first day in pvp and you got roflstomped and are raging.
You haven’t told us what you’re playing, only complained. Sorry to say it but learn to play and quit whining buddy. GLHF
It better not be expac gated. They’ve proven with the hot release fiasco that they aren’t prepared to be working on such large content updates.
The above is why some countries rise to a high quality of life and others remain in the gutter. It’s when people stop expecting quality that mediocrity is accepted.

I saw the build. It’s fun but impractical unless you’re bunkering.
Gs is becoming easy to counter, not many will let themselves eat a ww anymore.
Updating hammer could solve a lot of problems as it would allow for does control even though we can’t block effectively.

This is a good question. As Anet like to fanfare any release for months on end before release and overhype anything coming out it is very odd how little we are hearing. Absolutely nothing is known about the ginormous wvw update that is already late.
I lold while reading this post. My 2 month old kitten knows enough to not walk into a trap. Sorry I can’t take this guy seriously with such an aggressive attitude.
I’d get behind this, you can eventually filter into a group you like rather than rolling randoms each time and always having a 50/50 win excepting always premade players.

The list is inaccurate. From your first paragraph I couldn’t tell quite what you want to qq about others Qing?
Siege towers. Can only build in keep and require a golem to pull them. Would be hard to balance, only usable when no outmanned is on, and are marked instantly for all teams on map when built.
As it stands guard can hold up. In the future it won’t as more damage is worked into the game it will be easy for any class to shoot down a guard in 2-3 hits.
I wouldn’t call out Karl for this one though, it’s the balance team in general adding proliferous amounts of unblockable. I’ve started playing my guard closer to a DD evade since I know popping shelter or aegis will get me killed.
Any scrapper that can’t roflstomp a DH is worth scrap.
F1 virtue is a single pull.
GS 5 one time pull on hit.
Dragons maw is not a pull but will lock you down unless you know how to get out.
You are thinking of Mesmer gravity well that pulls each tick.
All classes took this hit. DH Jesus beams is now Jesus piddle.
The gold system will earn you a bit but the system itself is trash. Rule of the lottery is you always lose. In this case the tickets are provided but you pay for the penny to scratch it.
This is a pointless post comparing two different mediums under unequal circumstances.
Really any small roaming group should have good enough players to avoid being hit by this. The rings go down at the end, if you can’t see the gaurd casting it by then you need to rethink your life as a small teams roamer mores than my cat that wants to be an astronaut.
I read the post by obtena and proceeded to not buy the troll bait, I instead proceeded to the kitten shop.
Really all GS needs is a decent after cast reduction to allow for smoother gameplay.
Oh sorry that was meant to say massive Pve update rather than wvw. Please forgive our mistake. All Pve players will be adequately compensated for the stress this may have caused thinking their kitten glider would be delayed for a wvw update.
Why would any company in their right mind destroy their own content? If the new content isn’t good enough to draw us in on its own then someone seriously needs to look in the toilet bowl after their morning doo.
It is wasted and pointless. They should at least remove the do numbers while in wvw so it isn’t such a blatantly glaring oversight.
There’s a whirlwind of nerfs and buffs flying around. They need to determine a baseline and stick to while bringing all classes to that line. I’m tired of what I run being viable one day and out the window the next. Lose the trumpets and fanfare blasting how awesome each update will be and actually do something about the game before it dies faster than a lost kitten in Russia.
Yeah wvw is in the worst state of all the game modes but this thread is too unclear and should be locked.
Someone get this thread closed before it takes off into a competition of who has killed the most dolyaks
They’ve moved away from what gw2 was that challenged what an mom was, trinity etc. The gear grind has returned but is well hidden. And we are grinding it stagnant my as there is no possible progression.
Staff 4 needs to be a block or become mobile. Case point.
The DH is easy fodder to Bv, scrapper are harder but if you can get the right window they die all the same.
Ele is still an extremely powerful class when managed correctly. Just don’t expect to be able to kitten-run whenever you hp gets low with the new meta.
I’d move this thread off the PvP forum to ele or bug reporting as it affects more than one aspect of the game.
I would back this idea, just create a room that neutralizes some effects to see your dps.
However I think the community wanting a full on dps meter is just silly to a kittened level and needs to be dropped faster than kanyes next mixtape.
I’ve crossed some pro dueling warriors that could decimate anyone who crossed them. But other than that warriors are easy to take down from any class I play, mainly core guardian. However unlike the core guardian warriors can probably be saved with a bit of trait revision, guards core trait lines are just way out of whack.
Just walk into the edge of the trap and it will be kitten. Spam jumping seems to also help avoid a lot of game mechanics as well. Traps will be the least of your worries once you get some experience built back up. You’ll see where the trap goes down and be like gee I wonder where in the heck of all places am I not going to step if I value the life of my kitten mr scuffles and want to win this match?
Rev heals are hard to use well, they can work as well as any class but you need to time them right.
On my rev I have no problem with energy. Once I a blue moon when fighting a 5 man roaming team and I want to chain jade winds I might notice it. Swap legends. Run herald. Don’t mash buttons. Win. Problem solved.
There’s a post on the page with some pretty legit PvP gs.
Yeah I ran a burn guard through season 1. While it is fun to play the post season patch has destroyed it, especially since you can guarantee a necro in every match to swap you the burn now.
I doubt guards triggered the unblockable addition, I think maybe bunker eles and chronomancers were the trigger. The guard was just hit blindside by a nerf targeted elsewhere. I don’t PvP more than once or twice a week, mainly wvw. In wvw it isn’t as obvious since you have a lot of room to play but every once in a while you will see your hp start dropping like a rock.
The problem here is that the block mechanic is the -counter- to high damage skills. Unblockable is a -counter- to a mechanism already created to be a -counter-. And that doesn’t make much sense to me.

Still is somewhat viable but there’s a lot of heavy nukes flying around making the heals less effective
So with all of the unblockable added recently, ex dd and necro, I find the guard to be easily killable. Most of the time in PvP shelter will be shut down by any competent player leaving you with no block and no heal. Guards sit on a low hp tier, meaning that the unblockable addition hits their active defenses harder than classes such as a warrior which rely on their their high hp pool.
There are also many traits that trigger on block, which are nullified when hit by an unblockable and do not trigger from RF as it procs invulnerability.
Just throwing this out there as I’ve noticed the PvP as a guardian is a lot harder now. I dislike DH so I remain playing core guardian be that what it may. I do occasionally take the line for the virtues but not much more. So for core guardian is there any hope in this current meta?

Yep got it reserved so gg
No new changes for two possible reasons:
They have seen the negative feedback and are hiding till launch to avoid anything but bug fixes.
Or
They are working on a trap and trait rework that takes some time because we haven’t seen any trap changes really since announced. They cover skipped doing anything in bwe2 by not implementing the changes and saying we hope for future feedback.
Which it is remains to be seen.
I stand by my suggestion of a 500 range shadowstep flip skill on trap placement. Would allow for trap kiting with the lb. and it wouldn’t be broken seeing as the rev can shirk 3600 distance easily.
