Guild Wars 2

If you look at the scores

http://mos.millenium.org/matchups

It seems Arborstone is dominating and Viz is falling apart.
It’ll be nice to see tier 1 and get back at the french for all the long weeks we had against them! But the french hive mind is strong! and will be a lot of fun!

I doubt they will be able to stand against the ever ongoing onslaught of Desolation! :o

We will see Desolations true strength in the coming weeks. I hope we can hold our own and put some hurt on the french.

Been on Desolation since day 1, and i have a pickle with the frenchies!

Ruin have not yet met the power of the Hive mind french and it will be a real challenge!

I’ll be the middle man! Send both your weapons to me!

Chill out with the farming! I don’t think you should get your hopes up for a fix any day soon.

You are like the second person in the world who have had such an extremely well coordinated/no breaks farm! So you are probably the only guy with this problem in the world.

Which means it will be pretty much at the bottom of the “To Do” list of Anet. But nice that you actually farmed 2 legendarys! 2.x million karma 800 skill points & a ton of gems! Must’ve cost you a pretty penny.

Silly to transmute the stats though!

Playing a Norn really never gave my problems. Norns are awesome.. Playing Asuran is lame !

Try to google your questions before you need people to do it for you.

Gift of Twilight is:

Hey – Kudos for being a nice guy, I’ve been trying a lot and have thrown a lot of money after Dawn in the mystic forge. Praying to the spirits I get picked. I like how thiefs and other who can’t use greatswords are competing, you guys just wanna sell it on ah for 400g aswell? I don’t think that is the spirit of this contest?

Here is my screenie.

If you aren’t going to play your warrior or not going to talk about warrior, you should not be posting here.

You can’t even be arsed to backup your claims with more than “bored out of my mind” at lvl 78. Tsk tsk. Probably running some boring leveling build like 5 signets, which is close to not viable AT ALL at lvl 80 due to lack of utility and the dmg from stacking signets is next to nothing at max lvl.

The warrior class is one of the most versatile classes in the game, overall really well balanced. Bow, has one of the greatest AoE builds. Rifle has one of the best single target dps. Sword/axe is a mean condition build. Greatsword for that bursty one-shot build or the “all arounder”. Hammer for a control build/cc king. Back everything up with a shield.

I can’t even begin to describe all the posibilites you have with your warrior, you are just too narrow minded.

Please go post somewhere else as your post has nothing constructive to put into the warrior forum!

Klaus you wont need “max dps” for dungeons and map completion. If you want it done fast you want movement. And all weapons are pretty much on par with each other dmg wise. Greatsword has a bit better burst than axe/axe, whereas axe/axe has a bit higher sustainable DPS. Hammer is subpar on dmg but vastly superior in the terms of CC and control.

I use signet of Fury with my hammer build. I don’t see a use for it on any other builds.

With hammer it is great though. Being able to start every fight with a ranged aoe stun/smash is just too good not to have! (Instead of the trait that requires you to be hit, so you can’t start off with a tier 3 adrenal smash)

Melandru runes – Toughness, and % Condition and Stun duration on you. Which means every CC, Bleed, Burn, Cripple or whatever only lasts 75% of the time.

Best there is if you aren’t going for something build specific like soldiers for shout healing build or boon duration ones for perma sprint from sigil of rage!

The armor “of the Mists” (which is infact classified as legendary armor) is said to be rewarded for sPvP/tPvP rank 100.

Good luck with that!

The karma farm train in Orr with boosters is the fastest way.

You can go to lower level zones and do events there as you still get a lot of karma from them because the rewards scale!

Also, WvW is a (though slower) viable way to farm karma!

In regards to mystic coins, be aware that these can be sold and bought on the trading post for pretty cheap coin!

Hope my reply was helpful in your legendary quest!

AS far as i know it is lvl 75+ rares and exotics!

Update from Omx on Desolation

Hope you like it!

I am in full exotics and ive never seen a repair bill close to 60 silver tbh

If you have any sort of decensy you will let Desolation take that Orb back without a fight!

Let’s give a /clap to the Kodash player/players who just hacked the orb in Seafarers borderlands!

behind so you result to this? Pathetic!

“Just to let you know Anet is monitoring the prices for all the precursors. They may implement a 100% mystic forge recipe for a limited time. Also they may include other ways to get it, thus dropping the price. I would wait a little bit and sell at a high price when you still can.”

Source or it isn’t true.

You can’t drop a bomb like that without anything to back it up.

Dusk prices are 400+ now!

Not to talk about hammer Adrenal (F1) ability. The slightest elevation difference between you and the target makes it hit nothing but air, even though you land on their head! If in turn makes hammer useless as a weapon choice (Mass CC spamable by adrenal signet)

Further more, i think they really need to fix this, however giving the said skills teleport like the guardians skills might make them slightly overpowered!

Z-Axis sounds theory. Sounds like you are spot on!

All the charging skills, be it Rush, Bulls, 1hander leap are all very buggy.

Rush is the highest damaging single hit from Greatsword, really anoying.
And bulls is very much a core skill for both my WvW/sPvP build

Greatsword for WvW and Axe/Mace for sPvP

Like the titel says, is Bull’s charge bugged?

In the past 2 days i find myself charging through my target and 80% of the time landing far behind them out of melee range, this is at least not how the skill worked in the beginning.

Wether or not they used spies or did work together. What Arborstone pulled off was impressive!

We had a few bugs with orbs duplicating and proceeding to lose the real one once the fake one was recaptured.

Let’s keep this on subject. This is really not a flame post. Just a pad on the back for Arborstone and that i’m glad they are gone soon!

Daggerstorm only reflects projectiles, not melee. Another opportunity to strike back with powerful melee attacks. Daggerstorm also does not do anywhere near 7-8k unless you somehow manage to get hit by every single dagger that fires, which would require you to run around the thief at around mach 6. Against a single target, daggerstorm barely even does as much damage as an auto-attack unless there’s a combo field, in which case that’s teamwork, not just the thief.

Heartseeker Spam: Easily dodged under normal circumstances. Any thief who spams it is NOT someone you need to be overly concerned about. Use a stun-breaker if needed to get out of immob.

Being kited: Warriors have plenty of anti-kite tools. If you can’t figure out how to avoid being kited by any class, then you should probably go back to PVE.

Multiple thieves being stronger than multiple of any other class: Give me a break. Really? Every class has some extremely powerful combos if you take the time to look for them. Hell, even just two axe-warriors spamming are dangerous as hell.

Thief nullifying damage: Ok, stop. You know that stealth is not immunity, right? Just because he disappears from your screen doesn’t mean you can’t still hit him. AOE is your friend. Learn to anticipate how long stealth lasts and what a thief is likely to be doing while in stealth. Were his HPs low or did he spam a bunch of attacks when he disappeared? Then he’s probably running for cover to regain some health or reset the fight. Were his HP high? He’s probably setting up an attack. Keep your cool and be ready. Practice and understanding how stealth works is key.

Orb effects scaling too well on theives: Lolwut? You’re going have to elaborate on that one. The orb buff is the same for everyone. It doesn’t magically give thieves more stats than everyone else.

Mostly what I see are people getting mad because they got killed by a thief. Guess what? That’s not the class beating you, it’s the player. If you take the time to learn what a class can and can’t do, and change your own play and build accordingly, you’re going to do a LOT better. Instead of blaming the class that beat you, take yourself to their forums and start asking intelligent questions. What did the thief do to kill me? What was my build when I got beat? What can I change to try and counter it?

Or you could just throw your hands up in the air and call thief OP and keep losing.

I have tried most builds out there in exception of Yojacks horn build, which seems good.

Let me start whirlwind stolen from warriors does a lot of dmg, but is an overall balanced skill.

Daggerstorm however is not. It’s not that they get in on you and gib you straight off. They are just a whirling balanced stance ball of dmg, and you as a warrior will either have to GTFO or block/dodge as much of this as possible and still take some dmg, without you being able to knockback, stun or do anything else to stop him from what he is doing.

All warrior abilites (no exception) can be stunned, knocked back w/e unless you use a second slot for a short balanced duration (which i highly suggest you don’t)
When it ends they can proceed to open the fight as they see fit dagger/dagger, sword/pistol and still have all their endurance ready.

Which means you will have a crippled warrior with no endurance, shield block on CD who might have lost 10ish % of his health, before he can retaliate.
Which leaves you at a serious disadvantage.

Going on.

(Never had any trouble with pistol whip thiefs tbh)

Dagger/Dagger however. Start flipping around invising for ages at a time popping out and hitting you for rediculous dmg or bleeding the hell out of you.

Then against the odds you pull through and execute everything flawlessly and get the beat on him, he pulls out his short bow (you having used rush/bladetrail/whirling spin – or whatever you have at your disposable to knock him out or avoid dmg) and teleports multipletimes and /waves at you.

In regards to orb scaling too well with thiefs. They can effectively run glasscannon bc they have ways to avoid or mitigate dmg – which most other classes do not have!

150% assasins signet + backstab + 15% dmg + 150 free stats – Are you kidding me?
Noone else scales like this!

Am i completely in the wrong here?

Hands down guardian. If you refuse to play the FotM class then elementalist maybe!

I am from Desolation.
I salute you on this weeks performance. Completely outmanned and outgunned the entire week. Well played and what a stunning defeat it has been.

When the initial weekend was over you had already managed to completely demoralize the whole server. Especially with rumors that the guys on Arbor was in fact the strong guilds from Viznuah Square (the server we had just lost to the previous week)

I don’t really care if it’s some out of this world alliance playing 24/7 or the redicule theory of your canadian brigade holding up the nightcapping.
Fact is we got beat at every turn (You have too many lowbies and you get beat if you are even numbered. Outskilled/outplayed by the remaining hardcore players of Desolation).

Now leave us alone for a while to recover and I promise to bring the fight to you sooner or later! Enjoy the the french only top tier in EU (With you helping Augury to get second place).

Good luck in the future, i don’t suspect any of the other servers will be able to match up against the onslaught of Arborstone! So you might get lonely at the top at some point!

I won’t be eating any croissants for a year thanks to you guys!

Orb effects scale too crazy on thiefs aswell!

I agree. Defence from armor needs a serious redesign or thiefs need to get the hammer.
The other day i was in my hammer build and apart from him being invul for 10-12 secs (and my hammer skills being so slow i could not hit him) he then started to go in and out of invis like it was nothing probably rounding up around 25 secs of in combat stealth.
He proceeded to kill the two guys i was with and almost killed me as well before i tailed it and ran for the hills!

I get the whole one target assassin type thing, but it seems thiefs can roll in and kitten groups of ppl. (Orbs and thiefs = gg)

I normally see myself as a potent WvW player but this just seems redicule!

If you think you are slow try water,speed and the 3rd rune i cant remember and then signets at 25% faster recharge. You’ll have permanent swiftness from Sigil of Rage and backed up with sword and shield this is one of the most mobile specs out there!

OP post a picture of your warrior with gear and spec.

Your point is not valid if you play glass cannon or are sub 80.

I have 2000 kills in WvW and i dont use ranged weapons at all (The rare rifle in puzzles occurs) its the most fun i’ve ever had! I play Kngiths greatsword with axe/sword-shield to back that up! I have also done the CC full knights with hammer and sword shield and perma sprint. Most builds work!

In regards to the diamond theory above. You could look as Anet as the diamond supplier.

Diamond suppliers world wide are grossly holding back supply for profits which is against the free market values!

If all diamonds in stock were put on the market a diamond (even a perfect one) could be bought for pocket change!

(Just fun facts)

Supply wont stabilize the price. the price for achieving/crafting one will.

So I am no math genius but currently lvl 75 rare greatswords are 20-22s with a need of 4 pr craft and a speculated drop chance of 0,2% (No official word that magic find helps – But mmo superstition forces me to blow this out of proportion aswell and get everything)

2000 rare greatswords (0,2% chance*500 tries =100% chance – this is incorrect but the closest i could get over my napkin maths) equals to a price of around 400g as the top market value for this item!

400g…

400g…

10g for 50 euros… Only 2000 euros for a pixel sword… Bargain I say!

This needs to be fixed and set into proportion with other hard to get exotics!

2nd patch with loads of fixes for all classes except the warrior. What is going on??

It is the Norn Cultural tier 3

And one more!

/Omx – Desolation

Here is my warrior! I like him – so much that i can’t get myself to start an alt!

Honestly. I LOVE my warrior, i can’t get myself to play any other chars I’ve made.

The only ones i really really have trouble with in wvw or spvp are tanky guardians, who needs a nerf anyway.

That’s about it, i am not holding back on any other class. The warrior is really well balanced and once they iron out some of the minor bugs and small fixes they need everything will be swell!

The warrior is really well balanced, anyone who try and tell you otherwise will either have a learn to play issue (read: 5 signet warriors in pvp) or the class is simply not for them!

You rely heavily on your medium length cooldowns in PvP, once you realize this and plan accordingly you will have so much fun!

To give an example i play Greatsword/Axe-Shield for PvE and WvW with knights armor, melandru runes, 30 in defence in all specs for the endure pain and zerk jewelry.

For sPvP im currently running an axe/mace-mace/shield combo. You have a 1200 range aoe stun and can dish out heavy burst and steady sustainable dps while situationally locking down some1 for 90% of a fight!

Hope you can use my post, feel free to PM me if there is anything you would like tips on!

/Omx – Desolation (EU)

Trinket?
You mean jewelry Amulet, rings and such?

If you are going WvW get Melandru runes in your armor.

And i meant go for knights ARMOR and zerk jewelry!

If you really want tankyness, to watch the diminishing returns go for valk jewelry instead of zerk!

eLre – Yeah don’t go for healing.

Honestly going 30 in defence with enduring pain and endure pain on the bar should hold you up through most situations.

I’d say go knights armor like i did! Possibly get Melandru runes, if you want more tankyness add some knights or valk jewelery or just get zerk jewelery fore the umph in your dps!

Honestly guys. the “end game” is not the final boss in the story (leveling mode). It’s the end of the starting phase.
How can you even make that assumption? Have you tried Arah Explorable? Have you done any of the dungeons after the patch?

I know it’s not wow raiding, but it was never intended to be, and frankly im glad i can play when i want to and not be forced by a guild to be there every night at 7 to raid for 4 hours 5 days a week.

They will need to add more of a challenge PvE or larger scale group dungeons or something in that caliber in a future patch or expansion.

First world problems eh Zin?

Now to the point, I’d like to agree with the OP, the buff is applied when its dropped, that’s correct but as far as i know it keep refreshing the buff untill you are either out of range of the banner or it runs out. It is silly that everyone can pick it up and run of with your banner!

Over & out!

If you can’t counter the GS glass cannon, you would’ve been killed by anything else running your way!

I’ll refrain from calling you out as a troll, but i really do think that in this case we have a “learn 2 play” issue.
Just calling classes OP because you got blasted with charge/100b and do nothing to try and improve your own skill and counter it is just not going to float.
You don’t even bring specific situations or examples on what you think is overpowered or “lame”.

I looove my warrior, I can’t get myself to play anything else, the depth the class has is immense, so many viable cool builds out there. Try getting your nose away from glass cannon GS, which is going to be watered out soon enough, as people go for more survivability.

And if you are not lvl 80 and meet a GS full exotic glass cannon warrior you have no grounds for complaint. As you are outleveled, out geared and pretty much outplayed by default from the get go!

My 2 cents, over & out!

I consider myself a pretty knowledgable warrior.

I’ve tried a combi of soldier(vit/tough)/Cleric(Vit/healing) and have done full soldier and full cleric.

My opinion is that healing power is by far the worst scaling stat out of them all. I currently run full knights with knights jewelery (power/precision/toughness) without vit and land around 19-20k hp, with 30 obligatory points in defence, i’m really tanky.
And that’s just from stacking toughness. You get 300+ healing power from Defence, so if i wanted tankyness i would go full Soldier (power/tough/vit) and just get defence tree for plus healing.

As for “i went full tank, and still got one shotted by a boss”, that’s working as intended as you are not intended to stand there and take the big hits in the face!

I’ve been frontman for many groups and playing it smart, getting traits in defence and getting some toughness and playing smart is all you really need!

Any other questions I might help with?

Desolation Server EU

Hidden Lake Skill point & Hylek one in Matricia Province

Skill points are bugged, again, only 4hrs after they were supposedly fixed (had a friend complete them earlier while i was at work, and i submitted a proper report)

Now i hear the next patch is the 10th? Do i need to wait to the 10th for my 100% world completion? Any word on these skill points?

It’s stuff like this that really puts me down and gets me to put the game down for a while.

Water speced elementalists are very good for support and healing btw!
And in a 5 man scenario try looking up combos and finishers if you can effectively play together as a team and one unit, you guys will be like the guys from 300!

Before the patch I always found going with something that looked like the trinity (Tank, Healer and DPS) was the easiest but way slower because it was doable with 5 all out DPS.

The holy trinity might not be back, but try completing these instances with something other than 3-5 glass cannons. Try to not have a single glass cannon. Try with a supportive speced shield wearing, mace wielding control warrior. Try to actually apply tactics instead of just zerg dps mobs all over the place.

I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m sure they didn’t make it impossible!

Puzzle griefing IS the puzzle. It’s not hard to get to the top but extremely challenging and fun pvp to battle others to the top!

If you don’t like pvp, stay out, there are no vistas you need there for your PvE and you get PvP rewards so.. Bai Bai!

I don’t agree that the legendary hunt should have so many RNG steps. Getting the pre-weapon already is a pretty large commitment wether you want to buy it or try and craft it.

However, people keep talking about getting “their” legendaries or otherwise mentioning legendaries in contexts where they think they are entitled to one.

The legendary hunt is not for everyone, only the extremely dedicated player.
These items are meant to be legendary and not easily obtained. I play a lot, and i mean a lot, and it still seems like a very very large challenge. And that’s the way it should be.

If i spend 500hrs on a legendary weapon i would get mad if it just got easy to obtain them due to economy inflation (Read: Ectos and other materials getting cheap as supply increases).

Little too RNG but, at least for the pre-weapon it’s fair enough!

I am guessing you saw data mined versions of this on the GW2DB. As you can see, the legendary armor is called Armor of The Mists.

I will then go ahead a presume that its awarded to players who reach rank 100 in sPvP or from yearly tournaments or some other special feat related to sPvP. Because the sPvP zone is called “The Mists”
