Anet are too busy building their legendary flame shield for when people realize it will be another year late.
For most pvp no for pve hammer is fine.
In soldiers you won’t kill anyone in today’s game. But they will still kill you. Guards overall sustain is surprisingly low for their blocks and etc. you can’t just heal away like an engi or ele, you die if the fight goes on. So take marauders with a soldiers amulet and runes of durability or defender.
If I recall its old rating + 1200 * .5 to decide initial rating then some variance for you performance over 10 games. So yes prior rating still plays into it quite a bit.
I soloqd to play around 70% win rate from t1 silver over 90 ish games. So yes you can beat the 50% rate. However if you keep hitting 50/50 it should indicate your current skill level.
I’m playing most my games 450-500 in t3 gold-t1 plat. Excepting one game that was obviously stacked 66-500 which I only lost -1 or -2 for losing.
I ran this personally this season all the way to platinum just to say I could. It’s burning based but drops radiance for honor, taking radiance really doesn’t provide much damage increase. Lay down your scepter 2 on the point to support your team and wreak havoc on people when their cleanse runs out. You’re best in a team fight as your 1v1 damage is low. The more targets you hit at once your damage increases exponentially. Great for when someone goes down lay everything you have on them and before t2 gold their team will wipe easy.
And condi engi is also good. I’ve fought some that were definitely top tier worthy but I hear it’s hard to play.
When you necro a thread that never existed you become a ethereal summoner.
Lol it’s like queuing with or against PZ players as a core guard. They throw a fit and can’t focus on the match the moment they see the core icon. Oddly though esl players from other teams applaud the effort.
It’s like internet explored being renamed to Microsoft edge. So much hated associated with it that a new name was required.
I still wonder if people who haven’t placed by mid season will get some severe decay preventing them from jumping into the top slots late.
It ques to your next most completed track. So just start the next track you have interest in and voila.
I really want to start bronze next season and break out the pubstomper spawn camping.
With the half baked balance patch we just got, and the current meta being locked for the season my expectations for any serious balance are somewhere between nonexistent and legendary armour.
Open bg so wvw can finally die. No one will be left to decap on other servers so bg will get a perfect score each week and Anet and say see wvw isn’t dieing look at bgs score.
Sorry meant gs skill maul. And yeah I had to ask the ranger afterwards how he hit so hard at around 10 might stacks.
Necro shouldn’t be engaging anyone 1v1.
You better wait till those burns are 18+ and I’m over 1/2 dead. Otherwise I’ll clear it and continue killing you.
Went from a skin thread to a QQ thread. Clickbait over 9000.
It’s like when eles were nerfed that one season, suddenly they had to learn the class. Rev is no different.
If you get camped out on your best yolo hero build and get a kill each time you run out. It’s not like ppk will ever change the outcome of a match.
Ranked is settling, the top slot players now only need play if they are passed or a game once in a while to prevent decay. The 100-250 some are decaying but more are settled. Very few left actually still moving up to start competing for a slot.
I’ve been asking eles to support our necros etc and it works well. Only time it doesn’t is when you have 2 thieves screaming over who swaps.
That meta battle build is terrible. Strength in numbers is far better. A core guardian with zeal waltzing into pvp is trollbait. Honor is far better and will increase your pressure to a point far more than zeal.
Then we realize Anet doesn’t have the resources to overhaul since we saw a half done balance patch this season.
Transmutations are a non issue for the community. They’re handed out like candy I’m over 1k and I reskin entire sets at will.
Try talking to them before the match?
Most people have 560 vit in pvp or 0 if they’re above the lowest hp pool. This is 17250 hp. Maul from pet can top 17k. Need more be said.
T3 gold and up you can count on your team using you. Point stands that they’re both equally easy to play.
When you reroll rather than explaining to your team how 2 thieves are a somehow viable contribution to the team.
Oops you forgot head butt is a melee skill only given a short range since we’re playing a game with game physics.
Would it having 1500 range unblockable while shooting missiles out your behind that kb other players whilst summoning two great swords to defend your sides make you happy?
But the same goes for aura tempests pulling whole teams to where they don’t belong. I demod one a few games this season and with minimal rotational knowledge it didn’t matter how bad my team were I just brought them back. It doesn’t suffer from the cool down drawback DH does, you always have a go to skill open.
Anything that happens, no matter what is nerfed, somescrub, somewhere will walk into 5 traps stacked and die. His ghost will show up here to QQ.
His posts have definitely strayed into unprofessional territory lately.
I’m playing it in low platinum right now. It takes a while to set up a good player but all I need is a 3s window to get them over 20, anything else is icing. That’s a dead thief, DH, ele, or Mesmer. A warrior or necro can survive it but I can still finish them off given more time.
Scrapper wins. Pressure for 30s then suddenly you win.
I’m playing high tier. I don’t see DH stacked more than any other class. People drawing statistics from nowhere spreading misinformation.
Stop making outfits when you have legendary armour pushing a year and a half late.
I don’t like seeing auras on cash items. It should be reserved for infusions or legendary gear. ????
Showing your rank badge on the forums it would be much easier to weed out these threads. Come back when you’re in gold or higher and find out where the true power lies.
211 is terrible. It should never have come in unannounced. Get rid of it.
Burn DH aren’t running traps.^ it’s still ji pf. You push it into higher tiers by going further than the 11 stacks you mentioned. Get good at it and push for 25 instant kill.
In any division it’s hard to fall below 50/50 win rate unless you’re terrible. So a misplaced player can still hold their spot if they don’t play too many games.
Average? Still esl level when played well.
Core burn guard can be pushed into low platinum if played extremely well. Hell even then people will accuse you of playing an op gimmick build. Core burns with honor line gains strength from how it’s played, not because it’s combat power is stronger than hot builds.
Beyond plat it’s power with honor or virtues interchangeable. More group heals vs some condi clear and short stab. You do have to play a bit better if you choose honor.
When you aren’t capping far out of the gate.
You ever que with PZ they always call someone on the team trash. It’s annoying when they think they’re great but still get hit by pubstomps. Some PZ guy went after our warrior during a match and the enemy team intervened in chat saying the warrior was doing fine, it was PZ who needed to play with the team.
New races won’t happen. They’re struggling to create legendary armour skins a year and a half after they were due. They’re obviously understaffed and redoing all known skins would either not happen and you’d have hundreds of crashes bugs or it would be very shoddily done.
If you’re worried about skill to play go play a core spec. Otherwise you’re just as guilty of the stuff you’re accusing other classes of being. You won’t though since you like being carried by your build.
