How are they going to handle people placing later in the season. Win 10 games and get a top slot automatically. Anyone coming in later than halfway through the season should be hard placed at 1200 starting or at least outside of platinum rank.

Season 5 Class Balance Thread

in PvP

Posted by: Gwaihir.1745

Gwaihir.1745

Core guardian (burns, some healing support), moving up fast from 1550 currently. 2 d/c players and my skipping last season put me in t1 silver on placement. Since then I’m around 75% win rate. Trying hard to put a core build into plat or higher just to do it.

DH are a non problem for me I can 1v1 them easily due to my knowledge of the class and in teamfights they have to ress their downed at which point I bomb them to pieces.

Mesmers have too easy condi pressure, power Mesmer is good but takes a good player.

Elementalists are over the top unless youre team has someone specifically to kill them. Which most teams wont.

Necros could use some defensive skills while taking away from their groupfight pressure.

Warriors – condi stun locking is over rewarding. Tone it down. Power wise they are unbalanced still but no real way to tone them down.

Thieves are just terrible to see on your team when theres more than one. They’ll squabble over who will swap, and usually the more inexperienced one will stay which spells disaster for your team. Balance wise theyre too hard to hit during a team fight to bother, they should be forced to time their dodges not spam them.

Rangers are one of the heavier hitting power classes this season suprisingly. Took a 17k maul, which is insane damage using exotic stats. Balance damage back to the player not the pet.

Engineers have too much sustain. However you can force them to lose the point over time which makes them less offenders than eles.

And revs I would now call balanced. Middle of the pack. Mallyx revs have a ton of potential but its only unlocked by an insanely good player.

Analyzing that image:

1. You are under the standard 50% win ratio in all your games played.
2. Of the 172 games you are spread across most all professions so you probably lack mastery of them.
3. Your losses are all on revenant. The only win shown is from ranger.
4. You have a lot of top stats for your record. I have a 70% win rate overall from around 700 games but not stacking nearly as many top stats. This means you need to focus more on the objective of pvp.

[PvP] Season5, Burn Burst > Power DH?

You should be taking master of consecrations and pf. That’s your biggest nuke.

Core burns cant 1v1 very well, but they do live long enough for a teammate to back up the point. You excel the moment someone downs on either your team or the enemy and they all pile up. Load up the symbols on them with pf and its a team wipe every time the moment they go for their downed.

There’s a 9/1 guy sitting happily in the top 5 since day 1. Supposedly he will decay but from what I get he only has to win 1 game a day really. Unplaced players need to have their core rating decay even if unplaced.

The placement games matter too much

in PvP

Posted by: Gwaihir.1745

Gwaihir.1745

Somehow today I had 2 thieves on my team and both died within 5 seconds. Somehow they managed to rush far that fast and get themselves ganked impossibly fast. Before the match they fought about who would swap yet neither did. Then they called the team junk for dieing 2v4 at mid. Still won the match due to a DC on the other team.

Point is a good thief is invaluable. Not these yolo heros, a bad thief drags the team down so far it becomes hard to carry the match.

Season 5 SoloQ build

Gwaihir.1745

Most people in pvp have only base toughness. I fail to see why you’re hitting so low. I’ve rolled a warrior a few games this season when my main was a bad match. Gs f1 zerker hits hard af hitting 6k or higher once I properly stack might during the fight I’ve pulled 9k out of it. Not insanely high but that’s gonna hurt. Highest hit I’ve taken this season was a 17k Maul from a Druid pet.

People coming in late in the season need to be unable to rank into the top slots solely by placement. Start their decay even if they have placed.

Lol I luckily finished 5s before the crash. Everyone else got dishonor and a loss.

Hey anet if theres no one left in a match whats there to dishonor? Everyone online at the moment in pvp should have 1 loss removed from their record.

You’re playing a class with nearly limitless options to clear condis.

Try doing something other than skill spamming? Maybe clear with one of the fields you lay down. Don’t be a kitten.

This has been posted by another user in the guardian forum but as it has not been noticed I am reposting it here at request of a user in that thread.

The issue: [Virtue of justice] for core guardian was doubled in its duration of burning applied. This works fine until the trait [Permeating Wrath] is taken which forces it back to a pre-patch state with half the duration.

Note this only applies when permeating wrath is taken otherwise it is functioning correctly.

Guardians in PVP and WTF with buffing them?

Posted by: Gwaihir.1745

Gwaihir.1745

So a engi main can’t distinguish between a core class and an elite spec change.

Oh as a guard/engi main engi has much more auto play and is easy to play scrapper. Passive invuln saving you from bursts? Can’t get much easier.

Thread is incorrect, someone lock it.

Like the fourth quarter thread about DH getting buffed I’ve seen.

Apparently people can’t understand that DH was nerfed, the Buff is minor and only applies to core guardian.

So get your facts straight before qqing.
