Guild Wars 2

As the title says i’m looking for a build condition based where I can deal some condition dmg fast too my enemies basically as well just debuffing them like blinds slows etc. I prefer it not to be a full all in dmg build but something in the line of a bit tanky like condition-precision-toughness gear based build.

If any one can give me a build link with traits,abilities slots and gear + runes what is the best in the recent last patch I would really appreciate it knowing that someone who used that build in great effectnis

it might not occur to you that not everyone has the power to record gameplay. Just saying….

Screenshots maybe ?

But anyway like said without proof don’t make false statements when your not 100% sure who it was or how it happened. I’m pretty sure when you suddenly got a mesmer portal from some random guy your not like discussing for 5 minutes if it’s leggit. Sadly it happens that people take an advantage of a glitch without them knowing it, like perhaps this issue it just happens on every server.

So yeah kitten happens.

We are so wanna watch a video with a french man going nuts, at least put the voice chat off if your going to post it here with mainly English speaking people who post here. But imo you people need to stop boosting your ego with the same crap video’s which is nothing more then “stack and attack” really there is nothing interesting about that.

Maybe I sound grumpy but I think some might agree you people should start too play and start taking this less serious.

Is it just me or does it look like the lags get worse and worse after every patch? And before going on about the problem is on my side, which is no it is NOT! I can understand the game lagging out on 100vs100 fights or 50vs50 but 20vs20 or sometimes even less, i mean really?

More armor skins and I think we should have some more weapon skins without buying rng boxes.

That would make me happy :p

I really can’t get the fuss around people complaining about this since if it’s so important to you then why don’t you invest more time in earning gold to get your armor skin set?

Or maybe like I do since I don’t play hardcore but I just play when I feel like too play GW2 too just buy gems? Or is a lousy 10 sometimes 20 euro’s (or whatever your currency is) each month too much for you ? Which btw with buying gems your helping Anet/ncsoft as well so hey you get a shiny new armor + you help them with funding investment too the game !

I never get why Anet does not put Europe times as well for those who do not understand the PDT etc time zones. Anyway if i’m correct for most European time zones, well at least for the Netherlands it’s at 18:00 the fireworks show will start.

Not saying it requires pro skillness but a clueless person is still easy too beat and most people forget to stay as a team instead they go rambo’ing around. I still had times i shaked 3 enemies of me with timed dodges and a bit of luck the healing notes just respawned :P Nevertheless I find it entertaining.

Not sure I guess it might be added this weekend with the fire works event opening up.

So you’ve been enjoying Food Ball too?

I enjoyed it alot until they figured you could cheat.

And the fact that it lags like a mofo on crack…

This ^

It’s really fun though if it does not lag and people are not exploiting with that food buff. Luckily I only have seen 1 exploiter but the lag spikes in a 5v5 map i’m like really Anet you can do better And don’t blame the lag on us since outside that game its just fine, well except WvW ofc even on small scale fights it always lag there :P.

It’s an odd bug at least this is how it works for me, if you see someone going for the pinata don’t go near him/her else it bugs out and you can’t break it anymore. But when i stand away for about 10 steps i still see the pinata after the other person has break it and i can break it just fine.

Apparently we have to delete it…. :p

biglilstampie.2410:

i’m glad you used “some RoF” normally when people say stuff like that they accuse the whole server of being idiots :P

Those who do that aren’t bright either :P I never get that some people get so serious about WvW and forget to have some fun. It’s not like you get 1 mil euro’s for winning an WvW match.

Anyway continue the fun all!

Lol @ that RoF gaurdian at 02:49 CESTdo you know what a honorable duel is ? that’s not spamming emotes with /laugh and /dance.

Well I guess some RoF aren’t not that bright Like I just had on RoF bl garrison when we were attacking it. I was just running around the walls alone but this ele asura with an AC insisted in just shooting me instead of grouped up people on the other side. Oh and to that thief coming to me too kill me I only have 1 thing to say /chicken :P

Thaia.5146:

Actually – I’m disappointed in you. 1vs1 is not a challange in this match-up. People from RoF are much better than people from BT but still – you have the worst Thieves I’ve ever seen. The difference in “skill” of individual players is very evident.

Maybe it’s me but almost every thief i see on any server is just a “baddy” who uses the permastealth skills and runs away when they are not even near 75% of their health pool :P But yeah I don’t see a point saying server X is bad because of a few bad thieves.

Lets not forget too have fun and say no too AC’s the thing i hate the most after the chicken class called thief :P

I’m only playing my warrior at max lvl for about almost a month and I mainly play my warrior in WvW. But is it me or is the 3rd ability (if you even can enable that last stand before getting stomped…) the worse of all of them ? not only is it a guaranteed death after it wears off but most of the time you never have the time to activate it?

The only one i don’t have experience is the engineer so i’m not sure if they have anything useful.

Wow… FR is winning the coward award this hour… every FR is running back to the zerg when you kite a few of them into a fair small group fight. Apparently the french prefer zerg lag fest fights i guess

Although it is a fantasy game I think Anet should think realistic that AC’s should not shoot through massive gates… If catapults, trebs etc can’t shoot through friendly walls why can AC’s hmmm ?!

Pffft both sides us those boring AC’s shooting through gates even when out numbered :P I can say a lot about how FR plays the last week but I wont, except I had to laugh a bit when FR got sandwiched on there BL by us and RoS at mid day > : ) That’s how UW felt the last days before the reset when we got sandwiched.

For the rest nice games and plz folks less AC’s more PvP

Don’t know just now in underworld realm I can’t buy anything for about 30-45 minutes just when I wanted too power lvl some profs to lvl my mesmer >_<

Azraeel.1238:

Thieves arent unbeatable, you just need to know how to bait them to stay longer in a fight.

That’s the problem most people who play thief’s aren’t skilled and run away when there health barely reaches 75% hp. Imo buff them in SPvP and in PvE but perma stealth issues should be stopped in WvW.

It’s always funny when some people defend this perma stealth with nonsense. Why does this class needs so much special attention that they even need to make traps to basically counter mostly just 1 class. Is there any other class which needs so much attention except for a stray mesmer after taking a keep so he/she can’t make a portal? Which btw is still less attention needed then a perma stealth thief keeping keeps contested.

I’m not sure what Anet is doing these days with messing around with this thief issue and the arrow carts letting them shoot through gates since that makes also a lot of sense…

You honestly thought the trap was directed at thieves. There’s this little thing called a Veil Bomb. And they’re quite a popular tactic in organized zergs (yes, those are a thing), and as the name suggest, it uses the mesmer skill “Veil” to mass stealth the zerg better then any Blind Powder, Shadow Refuge, or Mass Invis ever can.

1: read “mostly 1 class”
2: yes they put a trap mainly too counter 1 ABILITY…. like do you really belief that?

Give thief’s more survival in SPvP give them more dmg/utility in PvE but please stop defending this perma stealth bs in WvW where they can keep places contested.

I don’t really get what you mean tyr I am helping out what I can and do what the commanders say in the big group. But sometimes when there is no point after we keep trying and trying I just try too roam a bit and team up with smaller groups I just come across. I don’t ask for a win button I ask that Anet should look into too make WvW more fair for those realms which don’t have enough players in WvW. I had times when I played where we capped everything without too much hazzle, did i enjoy it? no i didn’t. Sadly too say is DL is not looking for a challenge and I think UW should just keep down so we hopefully can play vs a realm with more of equal numbers and other play style then just 1 gigantic zerg bashing 1 entrance.

Kuddos too FR thought I enjoyed quite a lot of fights vs them and even had a nice duel on my warrior vs an ele from the guild RISE i think? If you so happen too read this ty for the fun times

I played WvW quite a lot this week and I can say there is quite a difference between how DL and FR behaves. FR is more tactic wise and we had a good fight last night on a keep which was really a close call for us, ofc they have there odd stuff like insisting to cap 1 tower at ours instead of defending their own borderlands. DL on the other hand needs an overwhelming force before charging in and is just the usual full frontal zerg attack or using portals even when they outnumber us.

Now I am not saying we are so mannered in UW we only fight the fair fight, but at least I try to find fights which are challenging. But this is not only about DL it’s more about how useless the buff for being out manned is as well.

A lot said the ranger should have an option too see stealth with a skill since they do need some love. But overall a thief should not be able to chain stealth, just now fighting a thief who is 75% in stealth in a 3-5 min fight. This is not being out played because a frigging 8 year old can chain stealth abilities.

Most thief players come with there poor excuse of “stealth is our only survival” well guess what that’s block and immunity for other classes but hey we can’t spam them where we can use them 75% in a fight. I hope one day Anet would just listen better and don’t come with silly solutions like a trap mostly specific used just for one class, that’s just poor game design and I know Anet can do better.

Indeed they should nerf the perma stealth abuse instead then trying to put a trap for a 2 classes. Getting tired of most thief’s thinking they so tough but run away when only 20% of their health is dropped, frigging cowards.

Whining on the forum about it won’t help….

It does for me sometimes you need to get things of your chest and speaking up your mind helps a lot.

Edit: sorry for double post

Well that might be true but if drakkar wouldn’t be some bunch of chickens they could take the whole map, or maybe i should not say that out loud :P. But I had a few times there zerg was twice if not more as big and it took them about an hour before they finally dared too charge in our keep which they then just capped easily.

PLEEEASEEEE fight with your guild against us chickens in a GvG. 15v15-20v20, as you wish.

Yeah me and my friend who are the only ones mostly online will “kick” your butt… please don’t do this silly ego flexing for an realm who needs too outnumber 2-3 to 1 before you dare too attack anything. Like someone said 20 + people for taking supply camps I mean really…

SNEEKI.4693:

I am pretty sure its a holiday in Germany just now ,maybe this explains the high numbers?

Funnily enough people have said that every single week we have met a German server, and I am quite sure that Germany do NOT have several months holidays ^^

Maybe they have it worse with finding a job then some other country’s, shrug :/.

lordkrall.7241:

JeroenXP.5364:

…a realm who actually can win without outnumbering the other realms at prime work time! * cough drakkar (DE) cough*. Seriously why is it when I don’t have to work it seems whole Germany has a day off as well! And even when its 3 to 1 they feel its needed to use a mesmer portal too bypass gate’s…

If the numbers are balanced its so much fun but most of the time all we can do is watch a zerg 2-3 times if not more larger then us taking everything. Really Anet do something with the outnumber buff since exp and magic find and some money saving for armor is not going too help those being outnumbered.

The main issue here is not the fact that the Germans are more, it is the fact that our server give up as soon as we start losing, and therefore leave WvW, which means that turning the tables are more or less impossible.

Well that might be true but if drakkar wouldn’t be some bunch of chickens they could take the whole map, or maybe i should not say that out loud :P. But I had a few times there zerg was twice if not more as big and it took them about an hour before they finally dared too charge in our keep which they then just capped easily.

Its odd that its only in Germany who has a holiday time and not on an international realm like UW. Although I have too say WvW wise UW seems quite dead.

Smooth Penguin.5294:

All I’m hearing is “Nerf Thieves because I only know how to hack and slash.”

Word of advice – Some skills can still target a Thief in stealth. Learn to use these certain skills, and you’ll be able to track the movement until they pop out after 4 seconds. Thieves also have a cooldown when attacking from stealth, so they can’t perma-stealth anymore.

For your information most people know that and unless you have hyper senses where the thief might be its just a guessing game for the ones trying to hit the thief.

If you think its alright for a class who can vanish with almost every skill and do major burst dmg like a backstab taking off 50% health on most players then you need your brain checked. The dmg I can understand as long the class itself with that build is squishy, but not combined with stealth skills which can be spammed after each other.

This really kills WvW even more, if being outnumbered was not enough vs a realm like drakkar (DE) who apparently all have a day off just when i randomly have a day off work.

Deniara Devious.3948:

This game is already over 8 months old and it truly amazes me that the developers haven’t addressed this problem, which has generated more complaints than anything else!

wise words. Still, many people -mostly those who main a thief- are in denial, and refuse to admit how broken the stealth+infinite teleport mechanic is.
As if a small radius AoE can fix the issue /facepalm

Most people never do since it’s fun to beat opponents without too much hazzle.

I really don’t get why these things can’t get hotfixed while other mmo’s can hotfix issues like these… But imo I think Anet is just stubborn on too much stuff else it could be one of the best mmo companies out there. Like I still don’t understand why they have not yet changed the buff for being outnumbered too something more useful then exp and magic find.

Several days I’m semi “leveling” my warrior in WvW which i can say its mostly horrible since the scaling is so bad for lower levels since you still need the gear to be able too survive or doing any dmg but that’s for another topic.

My problem is that It happened to me i get knock backed like 5-8 times in a row and I don’t know if its from a player or an siege engine. Is this an issue where 1 player or siege engine knocks me back but because of the lag it happens all over the time ? Or is this just the case of bad game design that there is no dmr on knock backs and stuns ? It’s really frustrating i have the abilities and dodge too escape but I can’t since there is no dmr where i have too face the ground for 2-3 seconds just to get knock backed over and over again.

I get demolished on my support ele as well even with all the buffs on me. Stealth is the biggest issue since a thief can make an mistake and survive yet another day. And imo stealth classes should never do insane burst dmg, that’s just broken beyond belief for something you can’t most of the time not even see comming.

Just take a look at the map and see its always first ours they attack. For 2 days i see underworld borderlands being taken by ourselfs or by miller completely. Maybe i missed it but i have never seen drakk borderlands going nearly fully green.

Anet really needs to put only 1 DE,FR etc in a matchup, sinch i have the feeling whenever its 2 DE the “english” realm is always getting focused first. Lets also not talk about how we are outnumbered in underworld most of the time vs these 2 and then most of the time they still run like chickens instead of attacking us when its 2 to 1 in their favor.

You almost look like a twin sister Lilith ajit 8.5/10

This is mine Asura ele can’t really decide on the colors though so i switch around these 2 quite a bit :P

Cute and “evil” mode

Same here at the underworld server, happened yesterday or maybe longer since i decided to complete my monthly there by doing chain events.

Hope this gets fixed soon.

Is it normal i lose 75%/85% of my health in less then 3 seconds from this class ? I thought GW was known about having balanced PvP but this seems less in GW2. I’m an support elementalist and even if i use my blinds, heals, roots and slows you can’t shake this class of you. Not too even speak about how much survivability stealth gives. I’m not an hardcore PvP’er since I do it once in awhile but sure this class gives me a feeling not to even bother with PvP.

The champion krait witch event at zopatl grounds in caledon forest is impossible to solo or even 2-5 man it with players of the same lvl. She pulls you in which you only have 0.5 secons to react on it which mostly fails and then she takes 75%-85% of your health off then your stunned for a fraction of a second and then she attacks you again resulting in being down and dying eventually.

I knew this was going too happen when you make group events too hard on the leveling course when your several months into the game. Most people stay with their mains and there are barely no new players or people willing too lvl an alt to solve it. I really think you need too look up on this scaling issue and reduce some champion events their dmg output by a lot or make it more visible or even to be able too dodge a major attack from the mob. Since some are just way too unforgiving and it seems those events are harder too complete with 5 people then in TA/AC etc expl which imo does not make sense.

That’s why arena net needs to implant something like gw2lfg since a lot of people don’t know about this. So issues like these barely happen since they know before hand what kind of group they in or what kind of group person X is looking for. Myself I’m more for bring the player not the class, I had a lot of times when people say “oh we don’t have a guardian this will go bad” and then we finished the dungeon without a wipe and reasonable speed, even with 2 rangers in the group.

Luckily so far it does not happen as much as WoW and I hope the community in GW2 will be more mature then that game for a long time.

Like people have said It’s not worth the time since the rewards for killing trash is just bad. I remember the days when I was raiding in another MMO WoW and the trash was always what almost every person hated the most, and it took some time before they finally reduced the trash amount in there.

I just hope arenanet will realize that most people don’t do dungeons to be busy with trash for an hour or 2 with no rewards and let us just do the challenging boss fights with easy trash and here and there a silver enemy but not all of them.

Thanks for the reply but I have to notify it has been fixed.

I searched around and found someone else who had a similar problem and it was the Gw2.dat file being corrupted which only could be fixed with an reinstall. Thanks too the fast download which just finished now, and I could login my main without any issues

Ok so as usual for me every Tuesday I play a few hours GW2 with my friends and we wanted to do the shatterer dragon event so i click the waypoint close too the event. And then my game crashes and I can’t seem to log back to my main character lvl 80 Elementalist. So I searched the forums and saw something about using the guild wars 2 repair “tool” so I try that and that even crashes my whole pc… I can login with my other toons just fine btw, only not my main. Also every other games just works fine just not on GW2 when i try to login my main which results into a game crash on the loading screen and the repair tool results into a system crash (black screen/screen disoriented).

So I guess the only option is too re install the whole game ? or is this a known issue with an easy fix ?

Nabbis.5784:

Im sure they will be adding more rewards/ranks/achievements to this. It seems that alot of people dont understand that the game was just released and it cant contain everything from the start.

That I can accept but the thing is that obvious stuff like a buff for those realms being outnumbered being actually useful should be in game at launch. Like I don’t know more health and dmg?

Fun? yes I play for fun as well but all I see in WvW is 1 sided battles. Don’t really see the fun part where 1 server dominates almost the whole map, and where ever you attack you get countered back too the spawn point. They seriously need too give a buff for those realms doing poorly which increases health and dmg. And also remove the orbs of power or change how they work, since atm it just makes the dominant server even more powerfull.

Yup it’s just not ready and I really think they should rotate each day instead of each week. It’s just simple have if 2 servers have barely any people playing and 1 does have a lot and take everything there is no way to keep up with them.
