Guild Wars 2

Also : It looks legitimate, ill check with the team to make sure no funny stuff is going on but Congrats!

All siege besides flame ram’s should only be allowed to be used if your map has the “Outmanned” buff. Keep oil/cannons/mortar as thats not blueprint-able siege.

This is a topic up for discussion that may or may not have elements of PvE.

Should there be additional enviornmental effects in WvW similar to Quaggan lightning storm?
One I thought was : Mosquito Season : When Bleeding is applied, mosquito’s will swarm to the player and inflict poison after 4 stacks of bleeds.
-This would buff condition builds indirectly.
*This effect could come from PvE but doesnt have too, It could come to whichever home BL you are in (I.E. All invaders get this de-buff, but the defender’s dont)

Another one : Spiritual Ancestry : If your home BL is being owned (Enemy PPT on it outnumbers your PPT in your own BL) your “ancestors aka dead people who died since your losing” come to haunt the enemy. All control effect’s length is now doubled. (Cripple,Fear etc)

What is everyones ideas on this? Is this unncessarry?

I think this is too extreme to be implemented but was curious if others think the map’s need shakeups such as this, or just simply new areas/terrain to explore.

it is almost impossible to kill even 1v2 or 1v3….. Particularly in 1v3s, 1v4s, 1v5s, 1v2s in enemy supply camps, etc….

This is such a small part of WvW i dont see why anyone would care. No changes needed.

I call banners “Banana’s”

Because its not your game, this is how it is. Now re roll your build. Gogogo

Agreed. Question: Is this reportable if another player calls me a Salad head or Bookah in chat? I take great offense. What if people RP and they pretend to be their character? This is very out of line and should be stopped and bannable.

this is why i never understood why people do fotm 18 for the loot vs fotm 10. its the same table

not sure if srs or what? is there a TLDR

ExpiredLifetime.1083:

Personally, I’d rather have enemy NPCs lead an assault on towers periodically, much like the dredge and frogs in EB. It would add a bit of diversion if there wasn’t a player there watching said tower.

Your the only one who wants more PVE in wvw. Sorry, no.

I played for 30 something hours straight on reset day, counting the morning before, through reset night, through the next morning and afternoon. Finally slept later, exhausted. Wasnt really an issue, even people who work have days off. Ive also known people with certain mental disabilities who can play 48 hours straight without needing sleep or coffee. They have checks coming in and dont need work

I have noticed alot that during times where the keep will be under attack, or similar panic times, lots of people just sit around. They arent afk because they run around (Sometimes, not always) but literally just sit in the home base. Sometimes its chaotic and they may be confused. Either way they arent helping and when the map is queued full of people willing to die for a shot at helping, these are just bodies. Change the afk timer to 5 minutes non activity = kick. Better yet, make the afk timer 2 minutes if the structure is under attack, and someone is akittenside of it

i play at all hours, im NA, Eastern Time, and I have had some of the most action at 3 AM. Not to say thers a lack of fights at other times in the slighest, but if you go knocking on the right doors, not just t1 towers, you will find someone guaranteed. You also never know when people will happen to be on, or offline.

Ok sounds like veil, but What is the limit per portal anyways? or is 20 the limit per portal?

20 is the limit per portal,
Also, the actual portal itself is very, very visible even if the zerg is not.

So Veil is by far the most likely.

Add it to the long list of mesmer abilities that aren’t hindered by the 5-target limit imposed on other professions skills, utilities, and attacks.

Including Mass invisibility and Feedback; even Time Warp which IS limited to 5 now prioritizes players over illusions, pets, minions, etc.

And I still give swiftness to my turrets instead of players.

But whatevs.

Re-Roll?

Because the team isnt focus’ed on dungeons now

Pretty sure its because Anet knows they carried you. Recommended level is 30, not 28. So you werent even qualified to be in there, the game detected that you were just being ran, you didnt even contribute, you shouldnt be able to just get free loot. Be happy you got EXP at the end.

I think people are confusing Alpha’s mixed in with a sprinkle of Omega’s, for all Omega’s.

Not in any group that wants a quick run but of course you can play Citadel of Flame dungeon with other non – DPS classes looking for casual runs.

There is none because classes vary on HP pools and damage mitigation techniques. Some people dont need any vitality and run successful builds on their character.

The heaviest non direct damage has no application because if your not dodging, youll die in PvE anyway. Dont look to tank through things, dodge through them

Line of sight. It balls them up, its faster to cleave than it is to fight everything spread out. Since this part is easy, theres no need to spend time dodging around, spreading out your DPS and wasting time when they can be balled up, and burned down.

Learn this, as its used in any type of organized or even pug run.

In Aetherblade Retreat, if your group isnt stacking and “Hiding” for at least 4 pulls in that dungeon, your taking too long to kill.

Must be a PvE’r***

No one uses combo fields in PvE anyway, so this doesnt matter. Only a rare few guilds have talked about it on forums and its mainly before a fight, to blast fire, which your out of combat for. If you cant control your teammates or coordinate 1 field while not fighting, you dont deserve the buff. In WvW it would be too strong. Thats why.

uh not really. every PuG I have joined used combo fields constantly.

Used on purpose to gain tactical advantages and randomly spam skills and use them by nature of using a random skill is not the same

Congrats. Things like this help me understand why weapons like “The Moot” still sell. People having no idea of mechanics getting rich off luck. Makes lots of sense now.

Dawn clearly has dropped because of the GS nerf. Much like Dreamer is rendered way less useful because of the shortbow range nerf. Much like the moot is terrible because guardian mace is one of the worst DPS weapons in the game, worse then necro/engi/ranger :c

Yea, no one cares about Traehorne. How does one make the protaganist of a story a character that most readers/players dont care about or want to “root” for. This defy’s all literary techniques and definitions of a protagonist

Seriously … what is the point of an interrupt of you have to publicy announce it 1s before you pull it off?
Do other classes have to wait until they can interrupt ?

Yes they do. Other pulls like magnet pull and magnet bomb have a pretty long cast time.

There a huge difference in “long casttime” and “additional time after casting to do something”. Then they just had to increase Curtains casttime.
The point is that skills like magnet pull and magnet bomb don’t glow a full second before they pull you.

Engi OP nerf pls

They should let us pick which 3 fractals we want. What about play how you want.Having fractals become RNG of the mists now isnt fun

Engi utility OP, nerf pls

Honestly if you believe the class is broken due to a 300 range nerf, you had no idea how to play it in the first place.

Ranger isnt a DPS Class. Thief/Warrior are. Sounds like you know other classes better than Ranger. Thats comparing apples to oranges.

If your talking about WvW, the only time I ever find Blind being a problem is Necro – Plague and its your own fault for being blind irl and walking into that necro in visible plague form. Its like walking into their spectral wall field and going “omg fear”. You set yourself up for it. You cant just blindly run in and spam things and expect perfect results. Other than necro’s, blind isnt a big issue.

Its not really that bad. The only OP class out there with blinds is Necro – Plague. That entire skill needs a nerf. Thiefs have a spot in WvW but they arent insane prevelant that a thief is constantly blinding you in zergs. Its the necros. Keep blind, nerf plague.

Hammer guardian

Wait…Rangers consistently claimed how great they were before this patch, how much “damage” they did, how great pets were, the list goes on, how tanky they could be etc…

Now patch hits “Oh spare my ranger, he was so lowly and humble and now look”

Sounds more like they decided to acknowledge the truth because if they were that good why would a small SB nerf cause such uproar?

As bad as they did nerf Warriors, they are still needed for high end runs in PvE and got buffed in wvw style pvp lightly. A far cry (Although more significant) from what Ranger’s are used for.

Id examine your teams DPS/Builds if these bosses feel too long.

If you trait tanky, play support roles, use subpar weapons/sigils/gear why would you expect them to drop fast? Just because its play how you want, doesnt meant results wont vary if you dont have a correct team formation with organization.

Fractals was not meant to be a money making dungeon. Its for ascended gear and skins. This is why farming jade maw makes no sense when you could cof for way better money in shorter times.

Sarrs.4831:

I’d probably say Warriors got the biggest boosts overall. Cleansing Ire with Burst Mastery seems like it’d be insanely nasty. Don’t know who’s on top of the pile, now, though.

Got to be kidding me. I run zerk GS and that build was nerfed partially. I also run my war in wvw as tanky hammer and until Cleansing Ire removes conditions before you land its not a big buff. Necros clearly got the love this patch.

Yea, that was tried without the bombs, took ages. Melee or ranged just takes more than its worth to even consider.

The HP updates for power after I trait it right, but then if

“Empower Allies” Triggers while im in combat, my HP doesnt increase at all , yet the power clearly goes up as I tracked it.

Also I popped a sharpening stone nourishment and my HP didnt go up at all. I went into combat and out of combat.

So does this trait only affect your base power? I didnt try food yet, but either way, empower allies and the sharpening stone should still increase my HP with the trait, and it doesnt.

Edit: Tested w/food and my HP goes up. So only empower ally/sharp stone doesnt affect. Probaly a bug

I think the current system is fine, but maybe add a 3rd tier to boxes.

Dragon Coffer, Rich Dragon Coffer, Legendary Dragon Coffer.

Legendary sits at maybe 40x the cost of the Rich because realistically some people would have to open at least 40 Rich coffers to get it while striking a fair balance

Since classes/traits/builds were changed, some made more viable for others, should people get an option to “De-Transmute” our legendary back from the exotic/soulbound to Legendary and make it account bound again. (Non sellable on TP ofc)

The precedent set by the wvw trait reset favors this action but this would be a way bigger step. Gem store, Gold, Or Free would be ok with me in methods to go about it, it could be a great gold sink. Pay 50g and transfer your legendary for fun!

It could fix a number of things such as people who transmuted theirs and want the original version back. Or who played an axe ranger, and would like their Rangers Frostfang, on a warrior now. etc.

Would this be fair? I cant see why not, it would be a “hassle” sure, but it would be a great gold sink, while not creating any problems with economy. The moa racing was a gold sink, but sure lucky people MADE money. This would be a pure gold sink.

Ahh ok I am new to necro ! Tyvm, i only use 1 well so probaly not work it :\

Its not reducing the cooldown of wells in the tooltips. Does anyone know if it does but just displays wrong?

(Btw I also have staff mastery, which does reduce the tooltips)

Id perfer to keep staff mastery if they dont stack, but if they do stack I will keep this trait too.

Blood Magic: VIII “Ritual Mastery” Wells recharge 20% Faster

patch is up for me

Ill get this but it doesnt complete my trio because i didnt get the Mining Axe and now its too late. Please bring back the all 3 for people who missed out.

For real. Saying computer gaming is worse than people who spend all day watching TV or partying in clubs like paris hilton or doing sports or relaxing on beaches or whatever honestly makes no sense. to each their own

venoms used to be really good with venomsharing and the stone one since team would get it too but ofc it was nerfed. he was still critical damage though, its just utilities. since the nerf he stopped running it

give mes a new condition, Panic. Target 5 Foes in the area gain panic, whenever they are balled up together (130 – melee range), they will rupt each others skills when activated. Also give enemy mes this abiilty to cast on players.

Why are divinity runes 10G?

I guess i’ll stick to what is fun and worry about serious stuff another time :p the only other problem i have is that i hate how scepters look trying to find an axe or dagger for the main hand but ive not really played up close n personal with a necro.

You could always use a Staff.

i have the staff as my secondary but it didnt feel like i could do much after i cast all the abilities. only seemed like 1 and 2 were usable most of the time. i do need to respec my traits to make the marks bigger on the floor though XD they so small

New patch today….. rumor has it staff gets reduced cooldowns, plus theres a trait to reduce coolsdowns on nec staff by 20 percent. ATM, with trait my #2 well has a 4 second cool. Thats not really “waiting to cast” compared to most classes. Also you can trait for bigger sizes, which seems to about double the size, so that should keep you busy. Swap weps for 10 secs, then go back to staff.
