Guild Wars 2

I don’t know how long it currently, but last BWE that skill would even follow a mesmer through portals, which seems kinda extreme to me. They should probably limit the shadowstep range to 450/600 each, so it’s possible to port away from it.

If you interrupt a duel (without knowing it’s one), you’ll see the player from your server disengaging and most of the time writing in say or whisper to you. If you don’t disengage then, the other one and everyone watching will attack you.

Personally, i would let you live after downing you for the first time. But if you interrupt again, that’s a stomp.

This topic is about dueling and if you do so with a zerg build, that’s entirely your fault.

That might be because i’m mesmer and can both counter it via stealthing and provide additional targets to lower the damage, but overall i found it to be ok. Maybe needs some adjustment to the damage and/or 1 hit cut to reduce the evade duration, but otherwise i think it’s ok.

I’d expect nothing less from someone in a guild called EoTM.

Press Esc to stop autoattacking. To make sure, spam it until the option menu comes up.

You can try killing them if you want, but usually these people are much better than you and there are spectators from both enemy servers around that will kill you while your guys stand there watching.

That said, there are specific dueling spots (south camp mill, Obsidian Sanctum), that should be used for dueling.

I still don’t understand that despite saying I’m talking about PvE and not PvP people still find a way to talk about it. Anyways..

I know, but unless they split skills between PvE and PvP, skills must be balanced for the latter one due to #eSports.

I know there are people actually caring about PvE, but it shouldn’t matter (that much) when balancing skills.

Eles should get Moa, too. Maybe put it on Blinding Ashes (only a short Moa, maybe 8s with 3s ICD) and remove the blinding for it. Seems much more balanced.

That’s the thing, it shouldn’t do 100B damage, since that skill selfroots while Unrelenting Assault tracks and evades for the whole cast time.

I know it’s WvW, but i’ve been hit for 7*1.8k by this skill, which would have been enough to “oneshot” a glassy thief while evading and chasing the whole time.

for comparison:
- Blurred Frenzy: 2.4 multiplier over 8 hits
- Pistol Whip: 3.33 multiplier over 9 hits
- Unrelenting Assault: 5.005 multiplier over 7 hits

Keep in mind that Unrelenting Assault tracks and stacks might, while the other 2 skills selfroot.

Obviously, this skill gets weaker the more targets it has, but for single target it’s amazing.

Different class, beta class, no stealth, etc etc.

The thief skill is an Elite and backbreaker only a weapon skill, though.

Just dodge right after useing blink to evade incomming projectiles. So they dont hit you.

Not 100% sure right now, but i don’t think this works. When traiting Evasive Mirror, you will reflect projectiles mid-dodge or during Blurred Frenzy, after all.

No, i’m not missing the point. If you are outmanned to an extend that every exit is swarmed with enemies and you can’t get enough people to push through any of it, why should the game help you?

If you are outnumbered, why expect NPCs to do your job for you?

Otherwise, you know there are 3 other maps with 3 spawn exists each for you to play on?

Lightning Whip should daze on hit. I mean, it’s lightning, after all.

Id be happy if they just had an AOE, i want to see all those dumb enough to run to close to get mowed all at once.

They do, they just don’t use it that often.

It seems like you are shooting at the golem in the back, your arrow pierces the first golem, procs Sigil of Air on it, then hits the 2nd golem and stealth you. The Air proc only then actually does damage and reveals you. If Air procs on the golem you are actually targeting, everything works fine.

Blinding Ashes should give a short duration Moa Morph on burning. It’s a GM trait, after all.

Current phantasm health is fine. For dedicated phantasm builds they should probably buff Persisting Images and place it higher in its traitline.

Increasing the range of legendary defenders would also mean increasing the area where you aren’t allowed to place siege since placing them in an area where all enemies are instantly killed is kinda op.

Also, it seems like PvE is more suited for you than WvW.

I’m fine, thanks

Or you could, you know, enjoy the game like all the other people instead of being a giant kitten.

Also, nice job comparing a game for kids to true war…

If you are so outmanned, that the enemy is able to keep you in spawn even with constant respawns, there is no point in adding even more PvE to WvW.

Besides, you can already activate Siegerazer to push out of the spawn, if needed.

Easy solution: Increase D/D ele condition output, so things still die in mistform.

Even better, if someone reflects your Ether Clone, there is no limit to the number of clones (unless that person is a mesmer, too). I once planted an entire forest at the entrance of Obsidian Sanctum.

Your spawn has 3 exits, use a different one.

I don’t roam, roamers to me are walking gankers. Most of their kills are people trying to get somewhere who aren’t traited for roaming but traited for WvW zerging.

That’s exactly what a roamer does. Capping camps/sentries that are not worth the whole zerg and denying enemy backups. Most of us aren’t even playing for points, but we end up benefiting the server more than yet another zergling because of all the small things we do. And if we get chased by an enemy group, even better, because we are effectively trading 1vX.

Well, you can stealth the victim and even that stomp will fail.

Most of these are really bad and die quickly when focused, though.

Warriors and Engis can actually still interrupt a stealthed target if they are lucky enough to hit / know where it is.

If you are downed 1v1, you are dead anyway. If there are other people around, let them bomb the area around you to deny the stomp. Stealth != invulnerability.

Not only that, it basically made MoRecovery the best heal available, which could be spammed constantly.

It’s not like anybody will use more than maybe one well, anyway.

Mind Stab is too slow for your burst, especially if you want to Mirror Blade and Dodge beforehand to get your 3 clone shatter.

Shocking Aura/Tempest Defense completely negates that burst.

If you are playing power, a good thief will still counter you, it just isn’t as easy as it was before.

Power shatter only rarely goes into Illusions, so i would doubt he had The Pledge traited. Especially if he had PU, going for that trait means either giving up on Domination (100% stun, vuln-spam, shatter damage or power block) or Dueling (DE, blinds, perma-fury, vigor).

I can imagine power shatter going Inspiration for the cleanse and heals, but Illusions is kinda unlikely.

Heartseekers can be queued up by spamming 2 and will still aim at and hit a stealthed target this way.

Skills queued up before you go into stealth will still hit you. This is especially noticable against rangers.

Also, going into stealth doesn’t make you invulnerable, so the thief can still hit you if he knows/guesses where you are.

I doubt it, since you can stomp people inside their safe zone in WvW (might need to be stealthed/invul so the guards don’t kill you).

Clones aren’t waiting in stealth, they continue attacking.

I’m all for nerfing PU, but let’s fix The Pledge first and see how this turns out.

Dont fix the pledge. It is actually a good trait. No good mesmer currently takes the pledge or the illusions line. For gods sake dont nerf it.

Illusions is the #1 line for condition builds. And you can look at it in any way you want, the trait is bugged and needs to be fixed.

Staff is mainly a utility and defensive weapon. The Fury on AA used to be better before Dueling provided perma-Fury, but it’s still good. Also Chaos Storm actually deals pretty good power damage if it crits.

Prepatch IE was bugged to not affect staff clones, so you need to take this into consideration.

And just because burning is op on a few classes, it should be the same for all other as well? Sounds like powercreep at its best, when in reality it should be toned down for those classes that have too much.

Clones aren’t waiting in stealth, they continue attacking.

I’m all for nerfing PU, but let’s fix The Pledge first and see how this turns out.

Actually Decoy did cause reveal when broken, but it could be used while being revealed.

Rending shatter simply isn’t used because the Domination minors already provide ample amounts of vulnerability.
