Guild Wars 2

Maybe its a punishment for groups who like to sit at 1200 range and press 1.

Melee has its advantages, just because you play a caster doesnt mean tactics are bad

With the obvious push towards condition damage boosting, nerfing of condi removals (via warhorn/pure of voice), additions of Lemongrass counters (toxic oils,giver’s weapons), etc: Especially now that melee damage will be reduced/hammer train turns into a CC train

Its clear anet wants condi damage to be very viable and strong again – Which is fine.

However condis that dont deal damage, but cause damage mitigation are taking over and are OP.

Figure this: Hammer stun – Makes several people not cast damage due to stun.
Blind – Makes several people not hit due to blind.

Which one is less risk/easier to land etc??? BLINDS. Now with the condi duration people run with 30 in strength trait, koi cakes, etc… these condis are impossible to shake off even with -98%(warrior) or mel/lemon because everyone run’s condi duration now.

I think blinds need to be harder to land, higher risk to cause and longer cd’s and less duration because we all know its going to be boosted.

If you dodge well, you have some other class direct target blinding you.

TLDR: Mitigating damage with other classes/condis is way harder/spammy.

Please consider lowering blind duration as its almost 100 percent likely to be boosted. Right now + Condi duration items vastly outnumber the condi removals/ -duration.

Make it like gw1 where even while blind you have a 10 percent chance to hit still. or better yet:

Make Blind Affect 1 Target!!********This is a must. If I earthshaker 4 people with blind, it should Miss once, and hit 3 others. Dont turn blind into the new Stun

Best is Warrior: Warhorn #4 Charge, Sword Leap, Bulls Charge, Switch to GS – Dash and Finally Whirlwind Attack. Swap to shield from warhorn and use shield bash if and/or needed. The reason I use this order is to reduce the chance of getting in combat. Obviously WW will lock you but thats last and by that time you should be WANTING to tag stuff.

defintly full signet ranger

So far I remember when GS in PvE was the best, traits for crit and power in the correct trait lines (10 points). Now in the power trait, we are left with things that give us vitality instead of increasing power!! Makes no sense

Then after that nerf, we get about a month of good balance before the 10th, where we are nerfed again.

So far, GS was nerfed, Hammer was nerf, Longbow is nerf, umm What do I run because this is a slippyery slope.

Problem is other classes get buffs, buffs, dps increases, while warrior gets dps decreases..

So why is there so much less activity seemingly on the official LFG tool than there was on the gw2lfg website? Is it BETA still meaning not everyone uses this or do we not see everyones as the lfg servers are split etc? Seemingly some groups take longer to form. The website was way more accurate for me

Terrahero.9358:

Sucks for you, but yah just respawn after you die and all loot bags or chests will spawn with you where you can pick them up.

It fills me with a strange form of spiteful joy when the defense of a keep fails by a hair because there’s 20 people who died and refused to run back. And then the chat fills up with “ah man i had like X bags there!”.
Yes, and if you had just run back instead of being lazy those bags wouldve been yours while you were running back.

beautiful post. responses from complinaing posters now?

Banzie.5248:

-40% condi or Heal on Kill.

(Lemongrass Soup, or Omnomberry compote)

Lemongrass is perfer

Since the patch in which people claim warriors got buffed, I noticed a stealth change to the warhorn, not sure if unintended.

In the past, if I was running long distance I would use Vigor Skill (#5) on warhorn for extra dodges. Now I notice if you use that skill anywhere around a friendly creature (like a deer) or an enemy creature it puts you into combat????

WHAT!>??!?!?

This makes no sense. it does no dps. it does do a condition but conditions wont put you in combat if they do no dps and it never ever used too before patch.

so basically the warrior “buff” nerfs warhorn condi removal and now puts you in combat almost always for the other skill. No im not trying to apply weakness to a roaming “blue moa” so stop putting me in combat . revert warhorn to old state.

Hello. Id like to direct you to the thread about WvW being more alt friendly which an official response was recorded on. Its on the frontpage. This might help you in your search for information about helping level up your alts/account

Thiefs, eles, engis with + condi duration, etc….always catch my warrior. Hammer/S-WH build standard. Its really isnt that mobile besides sword leap and the other classes have way more than that. The mobile warriors you see are 1v1, and in 1v1 its fair.

Plenty of necros/engis and other classes have Strength traits for +30 condi duration, Runes for condi duration, Giver’s weapons for condi duration, and food for 40 condi duration, which cancels out any -condi the warrior has.

If hes running, it means your winning, just snare and chase. I die all the time to this

Thats fine, take away a ELITE that makes the warrior good, leave us with Rampage. Ill be fine with this as long as they nerf every other class’es elite skill also. Why single out warrior when most classes have a insta res but just dont use it because theyd rather just let the warrior do the work?

Guardian: Signet of Mercy
Necro: Has a signet that revives allies (lord)
Ele: Has a signet that revives allies (lord)

I dont wish to go on but just because Warriors are in charge of ressing, doesnt mean we should single them out because then you would just see 50 ele’s ressing. It would shift to the next easiest class. How about finding a solution rather than “nerf war pls”

At least this matchup we dont have to hear anything about 2V1 NO FAIR on forums all week.

Going into a water area to avoid being stomped seems like a perfectly legit tactic to me. Nothing in the rules says – you must be able to be stomped – . So i go into water where you cant stomp me. Tell me what im doing wrong…

we cant complain about coverage yet because its still the weekend :c

yes would be good

yes i want to go straight to jp without having to go to EB first. and let their be JP overflows, if the map is full, dont make us pvp-lless.

On current match up, JQ have the best free ride setup for them so IF* BG and SOR wants to win this season, they need to make sure JQ gets the 3rd place when it becomes
BGvsJQvsSOR.

Sold, we only need the approval of the holy church of jed…. w/e it was called, JQ ppl should know :P
in order to sign the treaty of peace for this first week and week 7 between BG and SoR for the sake of taking down a common enemy.

So your in TKT, The Karma Train, A Guild solely designed to troll Blackgate and your asking for their help. Time to rep your real guild because antaganizing a server through a troll guild and then trying to get them to 2v1 US seems like a flawed thought

They fixed the bug where warhorn converted 2 conditiions into 1 boon and now its just 1 condition.. wow thanks alot i feel like a false pretense of warrior buff turns into massive nerf.

I am outraged this thread name was not changed or redacted.

1 Mesmer with clones up = Roaming Group

1 Ranger with all spirits + elite spirit + pet = Zerg

1 necro with 6+ pets = Blob

I can outrun a centaur – Human Females

serves me the best for t1 zerging. shout heals are comparable to 1 heal off a omnomberry compote or 1 -2 heals off a restoration sigil and arent neccessary for SELF survival in the slighest. This is built for taking sieged up keeps/survival in mega zergs

http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=-s;4RK-Q0e4gL-60;9;44-TJE;417A18-5;06V19_;16TsW6TsWn-kc0-5fv1;1jVo0t1yY3_95130Cs0V;5FYDok2Eo;9;9;9;9;84k3X

this blends alot of his suggestions into a good build imo. Zerker stance is optional and I run bulls charge sometimes too/fear me/for great justice are all good.

blow warhorn when you have condis that last too long and can get permanent swiftness from warhorn alone.

Protip: Never switch to LB/Rifle, even if defending a keep. Warriors job isnt ever to be ranged, its to be melee. You cant risk being stuck on LB for a big fight cuz you cant out of combat etc… Just stay melee 24/7 and be ready to push

4 signets! Doesnt his bar make you wonder what his 1 non-signet utility is? Cant be his heal or elite

scootshoot and sostronk are like a match made in heaven the way they compliment each others comments

whats funny is the speculation done by them, hoping their spies have told them the right rumors. “JQ Q’s sooo many maps bro” – How about SoR’s 4 Map Q during NA?

scootshoot.6583:

Just a fyi, Stealth.8150 is a duo account troll, his main is on BG, and his troll is on SOR. He has a huge infatuation with SOR guild FEAR, lol. Read his posting history, all that needs to be said.

Without going into detail, since you can ask him yourself, his main isnt on BG (or is it)! Also second accounts arent troll accounts unless they are wasting supply, siege griefing etc which no one has ever even accused him of, so I highly doubt that he is “trolling on sor”

Change build master trait, exand tier two more.

More points: Spend 15 suppy

More points: Spend 20 Supply (For those with max supply capacticity)

as it as, having this trait only allows you to build 10 siege at once. is this intended or unintended, without thinking off the possibilities to get over 10 supply at once

Allow siege useage only in Keeps/While Outmanned. Make gates PvD only because it will promote fights.

it should be reverse #1 t1 have reduced costs as if you want small man servers, there is tons, as about 75% of servers must be ghost towns.

if you want full on 24/7 combat though- there is no server so t1 does need more transfers seeing as its the most competitive wvw in game

. regardless of size or zergs now, many t1 servers suffer from coverage gap and actually are still in desperate need of guilds at times, like JQ.

It should be a reportable offense

The way the math is done, if you stack enough -condi (lemon,mel,dog) itll counter the + condi gear/food because the math. its rounded up for negative condi, down for positive condi making negative still OP and better than any shouts can do

http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=-s;4RK-Q0e4gL-60;9;44-TJE;417A08-5;06V19_;16TsW6TsWn-kc0-5fv1;1jVo0t1yY3_95130Cs0V;5F2Eok2Eo;9;9;9;9;84k3K

i have 1 and 2 and its still low

Wild.3847:

muddy terrain, spike trap, frost trap, frost spirit.

Lemongrass, Melandru Runes, Dogged March. None of those conditions will last even half a second on a warrior, which is the class with banner. Also having Berserker Stance makes immunity to all conditions so nothing can even be applied, endure pain, and stability. You need boon strips and guardian hammer skills/hammr stuns, not conditions.

Certain servers, like SoR could possibly have guilds that would require you to do an all call for WvW or gkick, but its your decision where to go.

lets all play warhammer online.

This post isnt even about gw2

The difference between a regular Arrow Cart (1 silver) vs Superior Arrow Cart (15s) is 15x the price, so why only somewhat better? The fact that paper rams can do so much damage or have a 1 silver item be so useful should be nerfed.

TLDR: The non-superior siege damage should be cut in half, superior siege damage stay same.

use sword-warhorn/hammer not longbow/hammer. rarely is there a situation any warrior cannot be melee in. sometimes you just cant do everything like hit the top of a wall but its OK, thats not your job.

I read it and yea… they deserve credit for being organized. Think of these ways of assaulting a tower

1. Run a pug zerg that instantly hits the door before you drop siege, starting the 30 second white sword timer instantly before the group can even properly dps the gate.

2. Run a well organized zerg that will first build siege, then wont even start ramming until all rams are built and then even have the will to hold back pvdooring, so oranges wont pop. – If they build enough rams/omegas they can literally have a reinforced gate down before the white swords pop. Your lucky you scouted it at 50 percent, usually the gate is down before swords pop. This is why you run with guildies.

Not intended with any disrespect, trying to give you a t1 servers perspective to help you all.

TLDR: Have permanent scouts at your keeps/north towers if you want to make sure there is enough response time. Roaming scouting doesn’t work.

Just buy the ranks with lulrels and badges. Any casual can at least logon for the ~30 mins to do daily every day and usually does PvE with monthly etc.

TLDR: Buy them with laurels.

So constantly people claim ranger spirit “Muddy Terrain” is OP, Binding Roots is OP. I dont see it as a warrior who runs – condi gear/food. Even without it, if a melee class stays with the train (SOSO Hard ikr??) the train instagibs the roots, destroying them within a split second.

As for the spirit, again on warrior I dont get any uptime on your immobilize, but another class, doesnt the spirit die wayyyyyy before the main battle, much like pets because they just run in???

If not, I could see these being useful but again with the aoe cap at 5, binding roots wont take down a zerg, and can a ranger tell me aoe cap on spirit?

So….is this OP or not…and is it OP for non warriors only? Also any tips on getting out of binding roots if lets say your a lone necro caught by it?

havnt done one of those in a while.
sor ts update

You left out the other part of the message where it said most have transferred on their own, only a few are left.

Exactly no one actually asked for help someone kindly just made the offer, were all mostly in off our own backs in the case of AFTL the only people we don’t have are those who haven’t been online the last week or so to make the move and a few we left behind to deal with admin on the other end those people are covered already by us.

Paid or not, you transffered to the most stacked server in NA (Not timezone, bracket)

fishball.7204:

Everyone was dc-ing on SoSBL not just you rooster. Even JQ was dc-ing apparently.

Thanks for the fights on FA BL, JQ.

yup i DC’d 3 times and had 4 second lag in between that…then I downloaded at 5 MB/Sec so im leaning towards server side issues

Actually I bought both boomboxs for WvW and wanted to use it there. Thanks for caring. I dont PvE and I have every musical item to date that was in the gem store.

lemongrass fghdfgh

Score Update. EU Timezone. Be afraid other servers.

yea didnt see that part but im sure its been pretty close…someone just post the history stat links

Someone post the MoS stats thingy so instead of arguing, we can just click a link and see the real PPT scores

Errrr maybe this is a newb question, but this thing has been on the ground for several minutes now with no one in sight. What is causing this?

Wait…..Wut?? I actually did try to walk through the gate and it wouldnt let me , leading me to assume the gate was actually up. And no it wasnt a visual bug on my part, because my guildie saw the same thing. So……..Lol?
