Guild Wars 2

It should shoot purple lasers and have a hard hitting whirl aoe.

ohwait

Engineer’s aren’t as weak to stun warriors as necros are, due to protection on stun and -20% damage while stunned. Prot on stun lasts for 3 seconds base, 5 second icd. -20% damage has no icd.

Necros, on the other hand, just have to eat the damage, though they do have a higher hp pool.

I’d probably swap elixir S at 25% hp for Protection Injection, and take stabilized armor.

edit:

someone above me said that, mah bad.

CD roaming groups seem to be at least three people, and one of them, at the very least, has to be running perplexity runes.

I’ve never understood why offpeak players tend to be so much trashier than NA players. It’s been the case in every MMO I’ve played. Not sure if it’s a cultural thing or what.

The good off peak players are playing LoL, if you know what I mean.

Guess I will just continue not using them.

ThiBash.5634:

How about a torch mainhand instead of an offhand?

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Everyone should just reroll a warrior and call it a day.

The hammer knockdowns are highly telegraphed and you should have perma vigor. Dodge.

Mag got BURN and GOAT like 3-4ish months ago from Borlis.

I haven’t seen GOAT around and isn’t BURN on FA or SBI, seems like we fought them this week.

There’s a [BURN] on both FA and Mag. Two separate guilds.

So…badges?
/15

Sylvari is also very strong, due to it having racial immobilizes.

If you have less than 1400 vit I wouldn’t bother with scavenging runes

Tolmos.8395:

And what’s hilarious is that engineer with 25 stacks of might still does less damage than a thief with no stacks of might.

It’s obvious to any engineer that this player didn’t achieve the 25 on his own. It’s possible with certain HGH builds, but this player isn’t running one of those. Those stacks came from external sources.

Fire field + Engi’s access to blast finishers + Sigil of Battle + 6/6 runes of the noble.

The Boss.3825:

Also, I’ve watched several roaming condi engineer videos and there seems to be some hate towards them. Any idea why?

Just don’t use perplexity when roaming and you’ll be fine.

On clone death builds. They CnD on a clone/phant, they die.

I’ve been reading your thread in hopes there would be something interesting than the ET thread matchup.

At least you guys are on page 2!

I think the matches are dead everywhere xD Maybe we should make a marriage between ET and FC and SF should go with DH or AR or DR, We should form mega servers so we can all make this more interesting, I go for the name Ferguson’s Terrace, or Eredon’s Crossing, and Haven of Sorrows, or Dark Furnace. Then we can storm NSP together and claim throne

Yer late, Narsil. The Super-Servers are as follows:

1. Sorrow’s Terrace of Denravi’s Crossing
2. Dark Isle of Janthaven
3. Devona’s Anvil of Madness

But but but but but but but but but but

Sf and Hod ET and FC are already the biggest servers, joining them would be like going to a playground and chosing the top 4 school athletes to compete agaisnt the other kids wo clearly aren’t at their prime yet to do much…

Ok look DHIOJ is clearly a weaker molecule compared to SFFCHODET which by far outweighs the others according to the Millenium Table of elements, and the ARDR molecule by far isn’t even being near a noble gas as compared to SFFCHODET, seriously , this would create and imbalance, making SFFCHODET oversaturated, unless if of course the NSP buffer was present…

Made me laugh. +1

Example of apothecary roaming in wvw. Don’t know his exact trait allocation, and idr if he shows it.

Guardian from Bags and ranger from RISE are the only players I’ve had make me sweat since transferring to mag.

LB & GS human ranger? If so that was me. Are you the same Basic from ET? I did a double take when I saw your tag south of ruins.

Yep, same Basic ^^

I’m the only member on Mag though, kind of on vacation from ET because the roaming scene down there had been dead for a while.

Guardian from Bags and ranger from RISE are the only players I’ve had make me sweat since transferring to mag.

A group of five people chosen because they know how to play the classes the play extremely well?

Soloing hills in SBI BL, lord at 40%.

8 SBI came. Q_Q

^^ This here … I scratch my head at. How do you even? Well there’s your measuring stick. If he had a buddy with him, 2 mags versus SBI at whatever time frame that was at.

I was Akitten hills lord room when SBI capped it, and SBI didnt care to kill me. So I figured I might as well grab the keep while I’m there.

I fought you BUNS necros while on ET, and you guys are definitely good. Even if just one of you take the on DS Stability, its enough that you can keep the stuns off your partner with chill/cripple/fear. Since you don’t have mobility, you have to kitten the mobility of those you fight.

Spectral Walk is one of the more annoying stunbreaks a necro can bring (From my experience fighting them, not from playing it), as it’s a stunbreak and a juke when used correctly.

I normally try to fear/crip/chill people that go after the Mister while he does the bulk of the murdering, but no matter what, there is always someone who sneaks up and stuns me to bloody heck. I mean, to the point of where my skills just do not come off of a rolling cool down.

I try my best, but it’s not cutting it this time.

I main engi, and we have kitten for stability (I use Lyssa runes to try and counter stuns used in a burst/condis used in a burst, works pretty well if you can time it right), so I get where you’re coming from.

Stuns are pretty crazy atm. Classes shouldn’t have as much access to hard CC as they do now when there are classes with downright terrible access to stability/stunbreaks in the game.

I use both in pvp. Just depends on how I’m feeling.

We should probably nerf exotic weapons too, have you noticed how much cheaper they are to make than Ascended ones?

It’s really easy to use grenades badly.

Pretty sure ANet thinks that if something along those lines is happening, the bigger server is “Better” than you.

Coldin.2840:

Imagi.4561:

Ooohhh. That makes significantly more sense, but I’m not altogether confident that ArenaNet has the programming capacity to do something like that.

They already do. Look at Ranger Longbow.

Look at engineer’s Scope trait.

1. Enter WvW.
2. Food buffs
3. Roam. I get corruption/bloodlust/perception stacks as I get them, cbf to stack them most of the time.

Elegie.3620:

Hi,

ArtemisEntreri.4138:

Depends on build and gear. If you are running a condi warrior you might check out Runes of Perplexity. Couple that with shield, bull’s charge, stomp, mace, or hammer and you might have some decent interrupts available to stack quick confusion.

It’s a gimmicky rune and needs an internal cd but you can try it out. Undead is pretty solid though if you run high toughness.

Why an internal cooldown? Adding one would mean that you’d limit the number of stacks of confusion you can place on the opponent, since the stacks already set would wear out before you can add more.

Also, AIUI, there already is an indirect cooldown. Since they place stacks on interrupt (and not on critical chance), the runes end up having the mixed cooldown of the skills which can be used to interrupt. Suppose you use 3 skills to interrupt. The opponent only needs one cleanse to move on (meaning you did get your interrupt, which is not a given), and you remain 3 skills down on your side for a while, during which the rune cannot be triggered. That, in effect, is a cooldown.

Regards.

Currently, it’s stronger than ANY other confusion applying skill in the game.

Fear, when converted, becomes stability. You typically can’t convert it yourself unless you’re a guardian or engineer.

It doesn’t always render.

I’m assuming valk/cavalier, something like 0/10/10/20/30

High fury uptime, as well as stone splinters for higher damage.

I prefer ranger shouts to warrior and guardian shouts.

Agreed. There is a great video out there of a thief with only an off-hand pistol killing people with these runes.

You must have missed his video of killing people with perplexity and fireworks.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1z-d9vGO52E

i think there was video of confusion warrior and engi abusing it as well
25 stacks of confusion is absolutely fine …yeah?

There’s a reason glamours were nerfed

P/V/T gear’s main stat is Power.

Cleric’s main stat is healing power. Shouts don’t scale amazingly well with healing, so it’s typically not worth it.

You got downed in that video.

Better buff thieves.

knbBlackTemplar.3059:

Darnis.4056:

Sounds like it’s …. Random

No in all seriousness I think they intentionally up the chances for the purposes of testing. Then later say something like “Temple of the silent storm is bugged”

I like all other maps, skyhammer is only problem.

After 14/15 same map in a row in rotation of 6 maps i should try lottery.

With your luck, you’d probably lose every time.

Noss.4105:

Against condi mesmers you really need to pay attention to what conditions are on you, and try to cleanse torment, confusion from scepter #3 and big bleed stacks. If you see the mesmer is blocking, do not attack. You gonna get 5 stacks of torment if you do.

If you do attack, you can dodge the torment stacks.

Why does KAOS seem to be taking PPT seriously

There’s a difference between taking PPT seriously and getting kitten ed at people who shoot themselves in the foot and ruin the fun for others because they want the easy way out of things. AR is getting locked out by both HoD and ET zergs, which would be fine if ET didn’t spend all their time zerging against AR while they get their stuff taken by HoD. There is absolutely no reason for ET to be zerging AR, no strategic value, no fun, and you’re LOSING points. Enjoy your PvD.

Oh sorry. I’ve only ran into KAOS in a roaming capacity, thought they were that type of guild.

mah bad

Svarty.8019:

Where do you get 38k HPs?

Protip: Using your healing skill gives you more HP.

I suppose I shouldn’t tell you that you can get crazy sustain too

You should be able to solo a camp on most roaming builds.

Sreoom.3690:

Cynz.9437:

my GM annoys the hell out of me to reroll guardian or necro…

but i love my thief except they suck in zergs :x

I hates thieves on 1v1 encounters…too op.

You must REALLY hate warriors then

Why does KAOS seem to be taking PPT seriously

Advent.6193:

Heh. Funny thing about Dire EQ(C/V/T). It’s nowhere near as OP as folk seem to think on most classes. Mesmer’s main controllable conditions are Bleed/Confusion. Heavy Dire drops the amount of Bleed you toss around. And, Confusion’s only regained some of its potential due to Perplexity Runes. Necro has a similar issue, but fortunately can toss more Conditions, overall.
Basically, any class who uses Precision to apply Condition “X” on crit gives up a lot of that ability to use Dire gear. I’d have to say, the main class I can see wrecking face with it while tanking would -surprisingly enough- be Ranger. A good deal of their condi-options don’t tie in with Precision.

Rangers give up a lot of sustain by not taking healing power, though.

VIVorcha.7853:

I dislike needing to waste 10 points and use a kit in every build just to achieve the same mobility available to half the other classes.

Other classes have to use a utility, traits, or weapon sets to achieve mobility.

Why should our class be any different?
