Guild Wars 2

Love the new Map, simple, easy to navigate, enjoyable quests and fights will be coming back to it every reset.

Don’t like Salty Braham. He sounds like a he’s been playing GW2 pvp/raids too much. Maybe he’s kittened because his traps had been nerfed too much.

Braham has been pvping and raiding a lot lately. Just give him a vial of salt lol.

He’s seems extremely salty in this patch.

Theres a simple fix to those problems.

1.) Use Mallyx, Concentration amulet and leadership runes and spam resistance and hope theres nobody spamming stuns on the other side.

2.) Go find a ele and stand near them for free condi clears.

3.) Go play another class that isn’t nerfed so much I.E. anything but Rev.

4.) Go Full zerker, bring a hammer, Don’t bother with condi clears, invocation’s condi clear is enough. You will kill them so fast they don’t even have a chance to apply
significant condis to you.

5.) Avoid Pistol Engis, Mesmers spamming confusion, Necros with scepter, Warriors with mace.

Made it to legendary league solo queue using hammer zerker rev with only 1 condi clear. You don’t need anymore than that lol. You just need to kill them before they can apply a ton to you. You just need to avoid 1 vs 1 this specific classes

1.) Mesmer (Confusion Mesmer, Strong vs Power Rev)
2.) Engineer (Applies a ton of Condis if using pistol Very Strong vs Power Rev)
3.) Necro (Applies condition and is able to take a ton of damage but not as strong as condi engi or condi Mesmer)

Other condi builds are manageable with Invocation and …. Staff 4. You can also put purity/generosity as weapon sigils but they tend to lower ur dps which gives the condi classes more time to put more condis on you.

Shield is not horrible but very good, heals+ block+ protection. also sword off hand is good but less than shield.

Shield is currently the worst off hand weapon the Herald has, at least in PvP/WvW roaming. Crystal Hiberbation roots you in the ground making you ultra vulnerable to conditions, plus kitten s your energy (cost 25 units, the most expensive weapon skill for the Herald, not even staff #5 comes close) and Envoy of Exuberance can’t compete with the mix of defense/ofense/cc that off hand sword and axe offers.

I guess that most of the players who run power Herald doesn’t worry about how terribad shield is against builds with conditions (Necros, Mesmers, Rangers… ) due they already known that those are lost battles anyway, but that doesn’t makes the shield a better choice.

So if shield is the worst weapon in pvp explain me why every esl player run it…

Bec Axe and Sword offhand are much more horrible. That doesn’t mean Shield is great, its just everything else sucks. Kinda like the presidential election, they both suck, but you have to pick one to fill that slot.

Look, we all want more content, and yes GW2 is Free to Play, and yes the items for sale in the BLTC is kinda meh. So here are somethings I think will get the money back into game development. And yes I know ppl will buy these despite the gem prices I put next to it.

25.) BLC Trinket/Backpiece Item (8000 gems, users select if they want a ring, trinket, accessory, backpiece then select the stats, after that its permanent.)
26.) BLC Crafter’s Enlightenment Ticket (12000 gems, will automatically raise 1 crafting profession of players choice from 0 to its maximum level)

You can still play ranked arena’s but it has the same rewards with unranked at this time. I’m pretty sure you cant advance You Year of Ascension Achieves at this time.
Right now ppl are playing Ranked for the following reason.

1.) Champion Title Achievement (150 Ranked matches win on 1 class = achievement points and a title.)
2.) It doesn’t have Colliseum and the Pirate Map so if you want to practice on the ranked maps or just tired of Colliseum or the Pirate Map this is for you.
3.) Lesser Premades queue in Ranked. Because Ranked has a longer queue time, premades farming for glory/rewards tracks use unranked instead.
4.) Lesser D/C trolls. Trolls who like to afk or d/c when their team starts to lose tend to not queue on the longer line lol.

You literally have to try harder as a Revenant than other classes. You can get a kill 200% easier as a Dragonhunter/Berserker/Chrono/Reaper/Daredevil/Druid/Scrapper while watching Netflix. Mallyx/Resistance can only get you so far. Retribution/Jalis is useless. Hammer is too slow, Sword is too buggy, Staff is just horrible. All offhand weapons are bad with the shield the least horrible. Rev attacks are so predictable your enemy has to be completely new to get hit by it. Shiro/Glint Heals both nerfed, the current meta build offers no Stability and 1-3 Condi Clear.

If you love winning easy in PVP, don’t Rev or Ele.

You probably joined the Daily Rewards room where Blue Always wins. If you want you can still join the server 001 or server 000 where all the Hotjoin Heroes hang out but I wouldn’t call that PVP either since its Stack Wars.

In my experience after the last patch’s nerf…

Any non- revenant class with a player of comparable skill to yours > Revenant (you) > any class with with a lesser skilled player.

If you like winning, your better off on other classes. You can still win with Rev, I made it to Legend League using zerker hammer rev solo queue with 1 condi clear (invocation). It will just take you longer than say using a more PVP balanced class like Dragonhunter/Mesmer/Necromancer/Warrior/Druid/Engineer/Daredevil.

I didn’t put elementalist in there since I find Tempest as more of a support, by themselves they’re easy kill. Think of it as a healy non dps Rev that has tons of condi clear. Thieves will literally autoattack Tempest to death easy.

I know some power mesmers use macros. They usually use this setup.
1.) Full zerker, scholar runes, uses mantra. Setup that lets him deal the most burst dmg enough to 1 shot any class under 18000 HP.
2.) Instantly kills anything maybe not a warrior (because of defy pain auto cast)
3.) he uses teleport/invisibility so he can get away and recast his mantras and chooses next target.
4.) Repeats step 2 instantly kills anything maybe not a warrior.
5.) if countered, easily dies bec he/she doesn’t know how to play Mesmer but relies on a macro combo to kill.
6.) Bec his combo literally takes less than a second you would be dead before you can press ur stun break.

Nobody can perfectly execute all those moves in sequence in less than a second every -single – time without using macros.

1.) Reward tracks, Mystic Clover, Obsidian Shards, Karma, Dragonite Ore, Empyreal Fragments, Bloodstone Dust, Exotic Gear from Dungeons/PVE events you don’t want to do, Gold.
2.) Try out Classes and builds, gearsets before you buy them.
3.) Get practice for the upcoming next Tournament: Because everyone wants that Black Diamond next to their name and that PVP Backpack.
4.) Dailies.
5.) Entertainment/Stress Relief (for this go to Hotjoin and join the stacked team)

PVP used to be a place to test builds but also to test gear sets. Can we have access to all this runes, sigils and amulet stats in pvp please so we can test out their performance before getting the actual gear. I.E. Celestial amulet, Superior Sigil of Draining.

Week old Auramancer here, tried both Trooper and Radiance, but cant decide which one is better.. Any opinion would be helpful.

Phoenix the One.4071:

How does a ventari rev do compared to a shout elementalist?
I have played alot of succesfull games as a shout elementalist, which can heal allies pretty well and keep up, even when focused.
Then I thought, could Ventari not do the same, with less effort (not having to juggle through 4 stance, auras etc., even though it is the fun part aswell) with both more armour and health (tier 3 / 2 vs tier 1).
Plus alot of condi cleanse without burning shouts.

So before jumping in and fiddling with it, I want to hear your experience.
I’ve seen a vid, and actually considering taking Hammer instead of sword/shield.
Still using staff, but trying to be a backline healer (as ele you are in the fray:/).

Stick with Elementalist, a Ventari Rev can never beat an Auramancer in healing/support.

Ele’s dmg is horrible compared to other classes, but they excel in support like healing and granting aura’s. Super glass thief takes care of eles easily.

The balance patch motivated Revenants to play other classes and move on from the overnerfed class.

How is revenant still unbalanced for you, IMO, its already overnerfed and broken class in this game.

Theres a poll in reddit right now that shows which class you like the most, guess what class is at the bottom with 5% of the votes.. Revenant.

In the last 3 nights in WvW SBI, the entire pug squad of over 30+ ppl, I have not seen any revs. Theres a WvW Guild here [sV] that’s been recruiting for revs for days now and its still looking.

I fought 2 Revs in PVP in the past 6 days, both were easily killed by my ele which I just made using a default ingame premade auramancer build lol.

Revenant is dead. It has 2 useful sets of weapons (sword/shield+staff), it has 2 useful legends (Glint+Shiro) it has 1 useful metabuild (Dev/Invo/Herald), Sword 2 and 3 are buggy, Staff 5 requires precision to aim even then most experienced pvp’ers will avoid/counter all this easily.

If anything they need some serious unnerfings or buffs. In the meantime, ill be on my ele using my rev as storage.

- most of reddit population is pve’ers and roleplayers. Ofc they wouldn’t like rev since it is not viable for elitist raiding according to qT (which is total bs imo) and you know how blindly people follow some elitist crap even though they can’t even play as well.
- how is WvW related to pvp?
- extremely tiny player pool doesn’t proof anything. I also would bet those revs were bad or tried out new stuff.
- pretty much every class is pigeonholed in the same build (at least at high pvp levels). Every class suffers from game breaking bugs.
- no, if anything they need to nerf rev and other elite specs more so core become viable and we actually see some build variety

I get revs in my team a lot in higher MMR matches – in my experience thief/rev combo wombo allowed us to carry hard. We even won 2v3 fights vs classes that rev supposedly is weak against (condi mes, necro). Really, the problem with rev is between monitor and chair.

Bandwagon moved somewhere else, eh?

So your saying Rev’s should get more nerfs bec you can make a premade team with revs and wreck pugs in unranked? Do you even Rev? You sound like a thief who got 1 shotted by a zerker hammer rev and demands more nerfs.

https://strawpoll.de/7ed9g51

Come vote for the biggest Revenant player issues as of today!.

Temporary Solution to all this nerfs? Play another class till they unnerf Revenant.

4:00 AM Snowden Drifts 29 Oct 2016, while doing map completion for my new Tempest, found tons of lowbies popping out of mining/logging nodes and disappearing. A few of them using the crappy bot (they are shaking like crazy while they mine/log). Entire map chat was about ppl reporting bots.

I think I remember somewhere when gw2 was fresh that the reason why they didn’t allow players to examine each others gear was to prevent elitism or something. But since they added High level Fractals, ascended gear, legendary armor and now Raids (which promotes elitism); Why not let players check other players gear. Also allow players to examine other players builds as well.

I think it will help a lot.
- Newbies can examine similar classes and can get a guide on what build works or what gear set they should be working on.
- Raid groups can critique their member’s gear/builds better.
- Being able to check ppls gear helps ppl who PUG Raids, Fracs greatly.
- In WvW, if your dueling someone and he’s just super awesome, you can check his gear and build and maybe learn from it/copy it.

After all the revenant nerfs, barely any rev uses hammer anymore, tired of hearing other pvp players complain when I bring out my hammer into a pvp match and being told to equip the pink bifrost (Staff weapon) instead. Can’t we just undo the Revenant Hammer nerfs.

Below is a link to Coalescence of Ruin (hammer 2) wiki page showing all the recent nerfs to it.

January 26, 2016 – The recharge of this skill has been increased from 2 seconds to 4 seconds. Enemies are now able to be struck by this ability only once every 0.5 seconds.

December 15, 2015 – Updated visual effects to accurately match the combat range.
This ability will no longer hit more than the maximum number of targets (5).
The cascade will additionally cease its progression if it hits the maximum number of targets.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Coalescence_of_Ruin

Reasons why you won.

1.) Right off the bat the other team expected an ez win so they most likely weren’t taking the first half of the game seriously while you guys were motivated to win because your comp is definitely the underdogs.

2.) Their Druid Trolled and Netflixed(went idle) on them.

3.) The DH’s were not meta, not just their build but their playstyle. It looks like 4 Revenants who just bought HOT decided to make a DH toon due to recent revenant nerfs and put together a ANET default DH build and tested it out on that match. None were fighting on point, using blocks, they chased you off point using a scepter, laying traps off point…. etc

4.) It’s Unranked. PPL test builds here. Hotjoin is bad for testing builds since its always 4vs5 and ppl stacking so you either stuck with the dominating team making you feel your build is good or stuck with the losing team making you feel bad about an actual meta build.

Go Find Aspire Eternal in Hotjoin Server 001 or kitten, these are Meta DH you can challenge. Just don’t tell them your making a video about how OP DH’s are and they should be nerfed lol.

Full zerker trinkets/full burst builds works best against thieves.

Mainly use Hammer that’s pretty much all your going to need. Shiro’s Elite stuns them for 3 seconds letting you autoattack them easily or letting you switch to sword and press 3 to finish them off.

An equally skilled meta DH > equally skilled meta (insert any other non-dh class) > lesser skilled DH > lesser skilled (insert any other non-dh class).

Why even bother playing any other class. Sword+Focus/Bow meditation meta DH for days.

DH’s blocks are so OP they even blocked the nerf bat.

blocks arent OP, blocks block one, two, thre… attaks, during a short time gate, invuln blocks all incoming attacks in the same timegate

guardians are the heavy class whith less HP pool , their true hp pool is hidden in blocks amd heals and guards are designed for being a front line tank, without blocks and heals guardians are a glass cannon whith weet powder

Go play a non-dh toon and go find a meta dh (sword/focus + Longbow meditation DH) who knows how to play and try to take his point or defend a point from him. Preferably someone in the Legendary League. IF you cant find one there is one hanging out in server 001 hotjoin at some time with initials A.E. Norn DH. No he’s not the best but he’s the easiest to find and can show you how OP DH is.

As a revenant main, I apologize for your heal trap being 0.25s slower to activate. It must be hard to be a dragonhunter now. You should reroll to Revenant.

An equally skilled meta DH > equally skilled meta (insert any other non-dh class) > lesser skilled DH > lesser skilled (insert any other non-dh class).

Why even bother playing any other class. Sword+Focus/Bow meditation meta DH for days.

DH’s blocks are so OP they even blocked the nerf bat.

Here’s a youtube vid that pretty much explains how easy it is to play DH, and that how a PRO player can make it OP. Vid shows a warrior main, creates a DH using meta build and instantly plays at veteran level bec the DH class pretty much carries itself.

BlaqueFyre.5678:

PrinceKhaled.5104:

I am laughing at people saying that “Unwavering Avoidance” is not a big deal of nerf. Let me ask this, why are some people okay with nerfing a good skill?

Unwavering Avoidance has an amazing usage in WvW (as well as pvp of course). When getting rushed in by an anticipated bomb or CCs, you dodge away giving you these couple stab stacks (or single). Usually zergs kitten their CCs before the bombs, not the other way around (mostly). Now you will need to get CC’ed, breakstun, then dodge and most probably you will get this stab.

P.S. Why does Ventari exist as a legend in revenants anyways? Just delete it.

Anet, can you for once buff something in revenants. 100% of every major updates, we get some kind of annoying nerfs.

You’re mad that now you actually have to time your evade to avoid the attack instead of just dodging aimlessly?

You sound like a Dragonhunter.

They could had undone the CoR nerfs to compensate..

Did someone say Revenant was getting a dmg buff? how o.o.

Spear of Justice – Unblockable, 20 second cooldown, cripple, pull, almost unavoidable, burns, renews when you kill a foe (if using Radiance Traitline) or with Renewed Focus (meditation).

• Please change so we can block this and make it slower and more noticable like revenant’s taunt. Maybe increase the recast to kitten and the pull at 120s. Make the tether last for 10s to compensate.

Shield of Courage – Blocks “all attacks” from front to side not only from projectiles but from melee attacks as well for 5 seconds (untraited) and can be renewed with reviving an ally (traited) and with Renewed Focus (meditation)

• Change Shield of Courage so it gives the DH a chance to block the next 5 attacks for the next 5 seconds. ( 7 attacks for the next 7 seconds if traited with Bulwark). Reduce cooldown from 75s to 60s to compensate.

Hunter’s Fortification – Removes conditions when blocking. Receives less dmg when the dragonhunter has no conditions.

• Please increase the recast of this trait from @1s to at least @2s preferably @ every 4 seconds. Move the “receives less dmg when DH has no conditions” and add it to “Big Game Hunter” trait’s passive effect.

Can Rev Hammer get a buff? All the recent nerfs to Rev Hammer kinda made the weapon meh. All the cooldowns are too long, hammer animation is too slow and predictable, CoR is slow, half the time doesn’t work if the floor is not flat.

A 20-25% cooldown reduction would be nice. Maybe make hammer #4 (shield) wider like DH’s courage shield (untraited) and attack animation speed maybe a bit faster would be great.

Can we have an alternate set of Legendary armor or an alternate route to acquiring this set that involves wvw/pvp? I love PVP and WvW, not so much for PVE and that includes raids.

Maybe try doing the acquisition process in the same way “The Ascension” is. Kill X amount of invaders using a 3 different professions, Complete a specific WvW track x amount of times, trade in 10000 siege weapons, capture every single tower/keep/camp x amount of times.

Timegate it with maybe 100 Legendary stones that you can only get once a day from SM keep lord.

Would be nice to have.

So many ppl are purposely dcing, afking on purpose and even stating why they were doing it bec “To stop the trolls from picking anything else but Colliseum”.

out of the last 5 non-coliseum matches I had, 4 out 5 had an afk, dc’er. Can we please increase Dishonor to 30min to 1 hour so ppl won’t do this on purpose.

or just make unranked auto pick Colliseum..thx.

I would say, Auric Basin and Tangled depth maps are just too big, confusing, full of mobs that can actually kill you but drops bleh item/exp for ppl to hang out, compared to say Ember Bay which is a great map, easy to kill mobs, t6 drops every now and then plus its populated.

It takes days to complete a WvW reward track with this 195 points every few minutes. Anyway we can buff that to 300 if your server is in last place of the last skirmish, 600 if 2nd place and 900 if first place? PVP reward tracks only takes a few hours. if you win a ranked/unranked match its 1500 points. 500 points If you lose.

Being able to select 4 instead of 3 specializations will surely give the game a fresh new perspective, New builds, New possibilities.

Welcome to California DMV.

Have you tried it with Pistol Whip? Here’s my build for Agent Ice. Very easy wins especially against condi builds.

do what the other legends did, they found a carry lol.

Don’t forget to nerf Druid, their staff 1 goes thru blocks, the 10 second cooldown on that daze >> vine immobilize is too short, they lose all condi and gains stealth every 6 seconds while in combat. You guys think DH is op, Druid makes DH look like it needs a buff.

Grab a hammer, equip full zerker, strength runes, shiro/glint, don’t bother with condi cleanse, press 1 and 2 at max range, gg.

If its pvp eventually theyre gonna go for u so be prepared to run with staff and shiros super speed, try to use ur allies as tanks. Let them soak all the condis.

Hammer full zerker power rev. You press 2, ppl die.

I think they should, or at least give them the same stats as the most durable ranger pet. They’re so weak last night when I used them on a diamond ranked queue a power rev took less than 5 seconds to destroy the hammer, shield and sword using staff. Not to mention that long recast time. Once he destroyed those its pretty much gg lol.

Spirit weapons kills a dh easy lol.

Can we turn them back to invulnerable, and have their duration increase to 45 seconds when traited with “Expeditious Spirit”. Maybe buff their damage by 10% too or have an aura that gives might, stability, fury just like the traps.

Diamond league, found a silvari warrior that can instantly revive after being stomped and possibly revive on an empty point instead on his home base.

He was able to decap home 5 times because nobody was there and I killed him easy with just auto attacks in less than 10 seconds, he used 2 skills only. later on I noticed he just keeps decapping mid so I went there and killed him, stomped him myself, then I noticed home is decapped, so I went back there and guess who is standing there again, IT’s the Silvari Warrior!

I also heard someone complain a few games earlier about this warrior and mentioned his name and that’s when I realized I just met a hacker in PVP.

I’ve written down his name if you guys want to observe him. He was playing around 12am – 2am PST.

Try this, if your on windows 10, on ur bottom right screen, right click over the volume icon and select playback devices. Then select the default device and right click on it and select configure speaker, there should be 3 things available (Stereo, Quadrophonic and 5.1 surround) select Stereo and hit the test button if you can hear the ringing test sounds it should work now.

Also on GW2, on the sound options, make sure the checkbox “Disable Player Chatter” is not checked.
