Guild Wars 2

Join this guy,lets have some funn again

I like the new ones,maybe cause they new,anyway,anything is better than same ones for 3 years.Seen just desert,looks epic.Had some funn fights already,think am gonna love it more than EB.

Just curious,but how on earth u can balance game based on 5v5?And what if ppl dont really pvp?Which classes and what builds “gear/weps/traits” should they have.I dont understand this balance is not about 1v1.Where from you peeps got this?So many questions…

Exciton.8942:

Make it +100% wxp, + 200% magic find.

If you have less number, you shouldn’t be able to beat the side that outnumbers you .That is basically balance and can’t be changed.

However, I am all for giving more incentive for players to play when outnumbered. Every achievement you made with less numbers should give more reward.

Such buff can also encourage skilled roamers to come to map with outnumbered buff. And the number I gave I think is very fair. It can even be boosted more.

That would be nice

Try prime time 19:00-23:00 gmt +1 and try to avoid BLs,go EB.Also if you are looking for some WvW group action join the zerg or find a guild with which u can play in wvw.

As for EOTM i cant talk about morning-midday time but in the evening its quite full.Just find some comander tag and follow it.

Am using it aswell.Definately much better for me,as u dont have to stop DPS but opposite,keep it going.Its faster,lower CD and heals for more most of time.

I ve stoped using shelter since patch came,even on shout guard i rather use shout heal.

For group support shield is better,at least i think.But yeah,trait is terrible and on same spot as other much better supportish trait… .

As some already said,i think burn stacking on dagger main hand is ridiculous.I ve seen 1.5k burn dmg on my knight ele,which has 0condie dmg…. and i wasnt even trying to stack it…. .

I personally believe,that if one wants dmg he should go zerk which means he will be squishie,dunno why there is this cele is ok fetish ppl got.Dishing out 5-6k fire grabs by a guy healing like semi god with soothing mist/regen and heal on cast “and more heals on water skill/dodge”,having loads of boons,dealing crap load of condie dmg while still being tankie is just OP.

I ve seen the hate talks few times in pvp aimed to burn guards,keep the good work thou.Its quite entertaining when ppl start to rant

Yeah,am using mace mainly for symbol in pve too,thou that cast time is killing the fun factor,still better than hammer

I dont think HP scales that well, to even consider it bringing to pve.I personally run mix of knight+zerk with mace+torch and GS.Traited symbols and GS with medi and medi heal,so far never had trouble surviving,even tough encounters while soloing.

HP scales with just some heals,like dodge heal or regen or f2 virtue,else u barely notice it.While high armor u will notice,especially in pve.

Boysenberry.1869:

Why would anyone waste time hacking tier 9 WvW? That’s like breaking into a bank vault, stealing a penny, then snickering and running away.

Heh,t9 aint that empty as ppl make on these forums.I ve been against fow or uw,and seen both servers with really big zergs.Also i guess on smaller servers like ours the impact is bigger and it seems its safer for the hacker,according how long this thing is already going on without any action “apart from last account ban”.I dont believe we would seen 10th thread in 2-3 months if it was in t1…. .

Jayden Ennok.3687:

Have you tried to pull off ether renewal anywhere near someone with the smallest idea what interrupt is? You can’t even heal unless you save utility for that.

Earth traitline offers u support in here,namely stabil on earth packed with no-crit u can be extremely hard to tkae down in earth while using ether.If you got that certain problem like geting interupted everytime u use “and need” ether.. .

Medi guard with virtues traited,mesmer with inspiration line and torch “you can take some more cleanses via utils”,d/d ele with ether renewal and water traited and cleansing fire.All 3 solid roamers and good condie cleansing.

Thou if u meet some condie heavy class you need to be carefull no matter how much condie cleanses u got,unless you are necro and your enemy got just few condie cleanses :-).But hey,when was it last time u saw roaming necro?

Its summer ham,means ppl dont play that much overall,will get more crowdie once the ugly weather comes back

I dont even remmember when i last time saw lag in WvW.Funny,isnt it? :-)

Seems we dont have to fight another week our sweeties with lil hacking habbits.Saw that new video of invisible thief killing your peeps,gosh,hope we dont meet bt soon.Still got in fresh memory that duo which got deleted,but it seems some ppl are immortal.

GL to you uw and fow for now,WSR got another nice week of normal zerg wars.

Definately nice changes,and am happy they implemented it quite fast.

Now,any1 noticed that HS aint working if u moving?Like i have to drop it,than go back or stand still to triger the trap.Is it a bug,or working as intended?

I would love to see mace f1 being more reliable,like eviscerate “lil leap”.Havent seen mace warr in ages,might be one of the reasons… .

And if traited bolas,it would be nice if it would have some side effect appart of CD reduction.

Am using it since trait rework,and love it.In pve its obvious choice,its fast and you heal yourself while DPSing :-).Its very interesting and refreshing kind of heal.

Started to use it in WvW aswell,and so far,its going well.If nothing else,its much more interesting play with it.

True story.Ranger dps is very low,and you dont even have to compare it to staff ele which is the highest dps “ridiculous OP in pve”.My full zerk ranger is slower in killing than my knight/zerk survival medi guard,that just aint right.Not even saying that its 100% more boring to play with sword ranger and more dangerous.

Its more group support weapon,as such more usable for support guard,in my eyes.Thou the trait is really bad on it,and as pointed out many times in few threads in same spot as 150 toughness trait for whole group,so in 99% times its pointless to run it.Even if u got 2 guards in party with same trait,which is kinda sad.

I would like only mace 2,symbol cast time reduced,its very longish cast time.And i understand it has low CD,but mace aint that great overall,so at least for symbol spaming it might be good.

+1

Most of the ideas are nice,especially slow on shield 4 “i mean if traited”.Some more love for shield would be reasonable.

+1

also bleed on crit in same spot with traper,so traper cant take it,fix pls

Interesting mechanic,i quite liked it,thou had trouble surviving 1v1 with hammer in power build.Guess one has to keep trying to find the sweet spot in dps/survival in that one,and adjust the play bit more to it.Am looking forwards to that class.Dunno if ppl tryed mace/axe power build,but that one clearly sucked a lot,dps wise.But abilites were cool,just the numbers werent satisfying.

Also loved that demon aoe util,which ports enemies around “ignored stabil”,that one i loved most i would say.Dwarf chain looked promising too,but couldnt make it work to be honest.

Thanks miku,i havent tryed berzerker power,was using axe trait,as i used to use those,for nice dmg.And i hope i get at least closer to ele dps,or at least to the funn feeling from it.

Hello folks.So i tryed my warr after patch in silverwastes,and my first day impresion is,very very very very weak.I thought am doing something wrong,dmg cant be that low,while my survival even lower,but watching around myself,i dont see many warrs around.Is there some secret build for solo-pve-open world stuff?I first tryed ele,dmg was even more insane than before and survival is much higher than on my GS/axe+axe"WH" warr.I want dmg,loads of it,and in melee action,but warr seems far behind ele.

So,anyone got ideas on how to get it work,or just relog on something else?Again am talking about silverwastes and without party.What is your experience?Am i missing something?

Yes,as said above,cele aint working for our condie.I tryed it for like 20 fast maps in pvp,and bleeds were nonexistent even with 2 duelist up.I didnt tryed phantasm with fury thou.Also if u aiming for healing on shatter,it doesnt make much of healing difference with healing power “cele amulet”.Maim is nerfed so shattering aint a way aswell.I tryed both maim and might on shatter,none was working well,as i said,bleeds were rare and mind wracks still didnt hit hard enough and heals werent that better than with no healing power “like 1.2k heal with all clones”.

So overall my experience was,its not viable.You can kill only some builds,while u have almost no chance against eles,shoutbow warrs,and everything is so slow and unfunn.

Miam is definately weaker than before,and even before it was strugling against many builds classes.We lost 50% torment dmg on shatter and might on shatters,which is quite significant nerf.I ve been trying yesterday,but it just doesnt play well anymore on its own,maybe with some might stacks it might hurt,but atm its ridiculous dmg compared to our own build options or other classes condie dmg.

+1 to revert,definately

I had random reveals,so i guess they gave some1 some reveal stuffies.And it wasnt ranger or engie using sickem/googles.Had it in stealth.

On another note i smell some nasty cele mesmer,coming to horizon,huh,have to test in PvP

I think,that using regular block “not aegis” or evade/dodge should cause reveal if the thief is just spaming 1,while in stealth.Only aegis or blind shouldnt cause it.Thou i wouldnt call it priority or a big isue,just a thing which struck me as first thing,and i used to thing its a bug.Like missed f1 on warr,before the change.

2nd isue i see with not only thieves but also guard,is porting skills not needing LoS “Line of sight,not pathing,like a thief behind pillar porting through it without even seeing his target”.Again not a big deal,but its quite annoying,especially on sword thief,if he starts to abuse the 2nd abil.Port,hit,port back and repeat and u just stand there on point and wonder where on earth is the thief porting from.
“remmember mostly that map with npcs and mid point with stairs,where thief was porting from below to point and back,almost imune to anything”

snow.8097:

dishonor were removed after there was a problem with connectivity in pvp
lot of players got DCs and got treated as leavers
to prevent that they removed dishonor
but after solving they did not add it again

I ve DCed few times,and never got that debuff,ever.It always returned me to the game,when i fastly loged back.I think if a person chooses to ruin game for other 9 guys,he should be at least banned from doing it repeatadly…

Its in all sections,check profesion/WvW forums :-).Nerf/op/fix/am gonna quit/wall of text full of nothing,and many other bla blah.You gonna get used to it,and filter 95% of it.Gosh,wouldnt like to have reading this forum as job.

Many ppl dont like the sword aa.I personally find it nice most of time.In a group fight it can be death sentence,when the aa carries u somewhere from party,or you see that eviscerate going to land on your face,but cant do anything :-).Or trying to dps on stealthed downed guy,or … .Many situations when i dont like it,but generaly its nice unique ninja animation,and it suits rangers.Especially asurans.

Abil 2 delay is bit more annoying to me,to be honest,and 3 doesnt land many times if enemy is moving.

To sum it up,i would like to keep it as it is,but somehow make it breakable/dodgeable during the animation.Just let us have normal control as other weps have.Dunno if its possible,but would be nice for both sides,lovers/haters alike.

Dawdler.8521:

Its easy to blaim the new camera for skills and siege going through walls and hitting stuff in out of view areas.

But really, its the game mechanics that are broken. We have always been able to see behind objects and around walls(people “hiding” when half their tag shows, lol).

So tell Anet to fix the frikkin broken skills already instead. Dragons tooth and arrowcarts should be LoS limited. Arrowcart should never even have the insta-response 360 no-scope triple-skills-at-once rain of hell firing mechanics, it should work like a catapult – charge to arc fire arrows, turn slowly by pressing keys. The same apply to ballista. All siege should function by the same rules. Just like all skills (ie nerf dragontooth)

Cause the camera change made it possible,i guess…

sadking.9625:

Yes another ranger QQ post.

Why Anet? Why can I not find a decent fight before some no-skill longbow ranger bursts me down from 1500 range on a wall. IT MAKES NO SENSE. There is no movement in their strategy, no thought in their skill usage and no variation in their builds.

It’s a kittening disgrace to a game that used to have fun combat.

This needs to change.

So you were killed by a guy with a bow,shooting from a wall.That is truly unacceptable,why cant they all run hammers and shake the earth,right? :-)

So AC placed behind walls,shooting through walls/gates is intented?I thought its just some exploit.Just today happened few times,even got shot by AC at lord,from zerg outside the keep,through wall.Sad story than,if this is ok

Well was a duel,so i had no trouble to be within 400 range from target,thou it might be problem in normal fight.Still it sounds pretty strong,every 4.5sec?!?That amazing.

But,the bounce is random?Or if am close enough to target,i will have priority for bounce?

As for being destroyed,am using signet of ilusion almost everywhere,so i dont have really troubles with that.Also its on 20sec CD and its range,it shouldnt get close to eat cleaves or random aoe.

thanks for info guys

Hello guys,i got few questions

1st: is he mainly targeting enemy or me,and what is the range of bounce
2nd:what is the attack speed/interval
3rd:if i got 2 phantasms up and disenchanter,what is the rule for being destroyed if i spawn a clone “dodge/abil”.which one has priority to stay alive if i got too many phantasms up?

I wasnt using any cleanse for 2 years,so am very noobish in this matter.It seemed to have solid cleansing in dueling condie classes and some boon riping,thou i dont understand how it really works

thanks for answers

Bit too dramatic Tim,aint we?.Fail and deaths are part of WvW,you cant win all the time.Vobbits have strong night team and day team,while most WSR is either sleeping or in work/school “wherever”.During the prime time when big guilds were around,i think WSR was able to take almost whole EB and BLs.But as normal ppl do,they log out and sleep than work/study while vobits still carry on.As for guilds leaving,we seen it before,nothing new to WSR.We just drop tier and again have funn against more coresponding servers for us.

FR seems to have abandon EB aswell during holidays,only vobbit nolife canon watch stayed sharp.Wait few days if you dont like this situation and it will get better i believe.

Noticed that longer cast time too,was very very unnecesary.Also they really love to not work at all,sometimes even 2 traps in row,dont give even super speed.And tooltip says 1s,but if that is 1s,am willing to eat my keyboard.Engie just finished full block duration till i landed spike trap,ofc behind him thanks to mega silly-super ridiculous cast time…….

And as cherry on top,it feels like axe/torch is taking longer to cast.quite funny,when ranger from 1.5k range can knock u almost instantly,while i barely start even the silly cast on axe3,which will get obstructed by unseen obstacle anyway….

Made me sad,was really funn playing traper,but now

Oh,forgot,many newbies love to spam abils with confu on em,dont do that lol.Watch your condie bar.

P/D condie thief is one of hardest to kill things u might meet in WvW.Thou loosing with 4 guys to it,is mostly l2p.Defeat as some suggested,CC hurts thieves.But condie thief will be tankie,and they still may just run away,and come back “repeat till you dead”.GL anyway.Also being bursty on warr helps a lot against thieves.But you will suffer in outmanned fights…,ah,cant have everything right?

Was runing zerker in WvW for maybe half year,and i was dieing a lot.Any outmanned against not complete noobs,was complete fail.Dieing to one CnD-steal-BS combo aint that much funn in my eyes.But hey,if you say you can pull it off,and dont die that often,nice for you.I personally wouldnt recomend anyone,especially not for solo roaming.And in party you would be 1st target to go down,and pull whole team into defense mode.

Sadly i rarely see enemy eles run zerker,its funn to burst em down in 1-2sec.Ofc not if u count zerg meat in.

You seem strugling in 1v1,not that much dps,but still squishie,no movement abils.I mean as solo roamer,i always equip myself to be ready to fight outmanned “not always win” and to counter anything i can meet and ready to run,when red tide comes for me.

Doesnt seem viable for solo roaming…

Ascended is like 5% stat difference compared to exo?Sounds quite unimportant,even expensive food could make bigger difference.

Giants.9362:

Since thieves hard counter Mesmers and there is a whole lot of them out there, would it be a bad idea to play a Mesmer if you want to roam solo? Thanks.

Good thief is pain for every1,never really understood this hard counter thing,and why ppl say it.Just equip sword,which helps a lot and train a bit,if you got such a serious trouble with thieves.

Mesmer is one of best,maybe even best roamer for WvW,if you are looking at killing others and surviving.As for funn,that is individual

Telly.4962:

Calliope.8675:

However, going PU also means I won’t be able to flip a camp on my own fast enough before someone responds and by then my HP is already at half and I will be fighting both the NPCs and the responders unless it’s a zerg falling on me and then I will either be able to evade them or just die.

Good point… move to T6-T8 if you want to roam solo, then you can solo Towers

Nonsence,power PU is same dmg as any other power spec,mean u gonna sit on around 2.3-2.5k power and above 200% crit dmg.U might been missinformed about PU,which is one trait,not build.

As for t6-8,u dont solo towers in here,ppl zerg just the same,and u get overrun by big groups all the time,groups which will chase you for several minutes.
