Man I fought SPLT lately, and like I said before they have the best Ranger I ever fought.

But I’m not sure they are still considered a small group, the last time I fought them they were a lot. That night we had a 4 players roaming group, but fighting them was way too much ahaha.

Props to them, I don’t know if they are a new group, but it’s cool to fight some new face!

Jscull I didn’t see your group for a loooong time. Do you ever join NSP bl anymore?

Was that you in the tunnel last night we bumped into in NSP bl? You dropped so fast I didn’t have time to do a body check

Yep man, I’m really glassy, so If I don’t pop my defensive cooldown, I die really fast.

Don’t know what happened, did you have a zerg right next? The culling was horrible in that tunnel lol!

Anyway I gave up fighting any mesmer from ENVY, ans its seems I only see mesmer from your guild? How many are you ahahah.

Mesmer are my personal ban, most mesmer I fight I find myself in trouble. I might try another build when I will have the gear just to counter you guys.

Zerg ? No , just andro and I, we happen to be running from the ar/bp zergs at the time. Don’t remeber which. Once we spread out we can look kind of zergy thou :p

As for our guild, we are a small group that for as long as I can remember have been fighting much larger groups. Mesmer seems to fit the bill. Hell I have 2 now that are both 80 and geared up. Just trying to match armor with andro is a chore , but the results and madness it might cause for larger groups makes it worth it.

No sorry I didn’t mean you were in a zerg. I mean the zerg that was taking the tower with the tunnel. I was going to backstab them when I I crossed you guys and got demlished lol.

I do the same as you guys. I used to roam solo, hit and run. Now I got 3-4 friends who will roam with me from time to time. Still got a lot to learn. And Engineer aren’t the perfect roamer ether.

I nearly made a mesmr just to roam. My friend who used to roam with me used one, and he was always telling me to create one. I have too much love for the engi.

[Splt] has been running as long as we have. They run 3-4 people a night. That’s it. So once again your math is kinda up in the air. [PAXA] has at least a 5 man every night on some BL.

Once again? When did I wrote about any kind of number? It’s the first time I talk about number, and If you whisper the norm ranger from split, I’m sure he wll be able to confirm they were a lot when we fought them. He bowed to me afterward, so I’m pretty sure he will remember about it.

I will give you one thing : Maybe they were not all SPLT, it’s hard to check with the culling involved.

No to argue again, but Glue Shot is awesome.

Good escape mecanism, good CC during a team fight. This is an AoE immobilization, it’s really good. Good synergy with knee shot.

Man each time I watch a video like this, and I see a player spam the same skills over and over, I remember why I’m playing an Engineer. kitten it must be boring to only auto attack!

You should watch two sword thieves fight. nonstop teleporting over a node is hilarious :P

Should I really watch that? :P

Man each time I watch a video like this, and I see a player spam the same skills over and over, I remember why I’m playing an Engineer. kitten it must be boring to only auto attack!

Well Night crew don’t have much population in this tier.

So If you remove a commander, you remove a lot.

Just having one commander join during the off peak time make a huge difference.

Omnio.3652:

How come my engi has cool damage, awesome skills and builds play very different?

Rose Tinted Goggles

Man people keep saying Engineer don’t have any damage. Where does that come from?

We do have damage, we have direct damage and condition damage.

This is just a myth, we are very DPS efficient.

Dadi.1870:

my experience as playing as a mesmer in paid/free tpvp and spvp in general…

nothing is that OP, depends largely on the player and his build/skill and the teamwork of the team.

never once did i think: “man that class should be nerfed” or “my class is so bad against X”

these tier lists are completely unnecessary, will do more damage than good… my 2 cents

cheers

Well for sure, since you are a mesmer, no other class will feel OP compared to you! :P

@Anthsss

Do you have a random theory generator Anthsss? :`)

Everybody know that early on this week, some commanders in both BP and NSP allied to focus on Anvil Rock. One of the commander even said it on the forum.

With ALS taking time off, We can only do so much to come back.

I don’t think right now we can play for the first place, the score difference is too big. We will have to settle for second and try the first next week.

Well, being a part of the server alliance, we never once discussed working with either server. If you want to think we worked with BP, that’s cool, but I’m pretty sure it was BP’s borderland that we took on reset, not AR, and it was also BP’s keep in EB that we took twice in two days. I mean, maybe I have the definition of an alliance wrong, but thus far I have yet to see how I’m wrong in any of my statements I’ve made.

ALS wasn’t taking a break this week, it’s their excuse for not being in 2nd the whole time, I know this because on reset, I repelled them at hills on BP borderlands with the pugs I was leading. We don’t make excuses when we are losing, we just keep fighting

Vespin, NSP commander.

“Guys, the person in this post is me. I’ve made no effort to hide the fact that Ive been working with a couple commanders from BP for the last few days. If you ask anyone (Minavera, for example) I made no attempt to hide it. I personally prefer BP over AR and that’s why I was working with them. That and I found a couple truly nice, skilled, and honest commanders to work with. I’m not a spy, though. I’m still NSP. Our primary exchange of information was always on the movements of Anvil Rock as well as coordinated strikes also on Anvil Rock. Many times I did ask our people not to engage BP but that was also because it was in the best interest of NSP. I figured my job as a commander was to score as many points for my team as possible in the best way I knew how. That’s what I did.”

Seems like a commander of your did it.

I don’t mind it, but don’t go around acting like it didn’t happen.

“We don’t make excuses when we are losing, we just keep fighting”

Yet every 2-3 post, someone from NSP make excuse about being outnumbered is the only reason why you are losing. Yet, we don’t have any proof or stats about it being true. I could state that I always have the outmanned buff, but is it a proof?

Anvil Rock played for the first place ever since this match up started, we were always at war with BP. NSP were a bit behind. This week is different because of the ALS vacation / early BP-NSP focusing on us.

Like I said, I don’t mind, I don’t play for the score. I don’t care if we finish third.

@Aristio

Man if they ever get those change down, Pistol would be so OP ahahah.

Man burn is like the strongest condition around, if we can apply it each auto attack it would hurt a looot.

Nirvana.8659:

@Kardiamond :

First of all…ahah no one have the patience to read my crappy english..if u have done it u deserve a special achievement in GW2 .

On topic : May be my answer sound a bit rude.Let me edit some word to explain better my my self:

My words with some add : "That doesn’t mean be skilled…that means KNOW HOW TO PLAY easy builds " (where easy builds is meanted to be a zerker/tank heavy condition) " , because…they are not that hard to play to involve a “skillcap” factor " .

100 nades build :
I can give you that : yes,your effort is all in survive waiting the false step of your enemy,it’s not an easy task with 2200 armor.

Follow me : by the way it’s a glassy build you don’t put in more effort compared to any other glassy build of every other class (thieves apart.).
Play a glass cannon ranger,necro,or even a glassy elementalist (may be a warrior too?i don’t know) full berserker and full offensive traits.
After u tested all this 4 class with a glass cannon build,tell me if for real engi requires MORE effort of the other 4 class in zerker.
That’s it….the zerker risk,it’s a challange for every one.( i see by your signature you have both ranger and necro…do you want to tell me they are not hard to play in zerker as an engi?IMO a necro would dream our burst in zerker…and they both with ranger actually are in a worst situation than engineer in terms of balance , they are the 2 class that actually require a real effort).

About P/P cond dmg elixier : i used to play this build since september it’s different in some trait/gear from the one you see in the videos around this forum,but it works in the same way.It’s not in our discussion so useless to speak about it.

About the 4 kit or other combinations :
May be i’m a fool , i’m running around every single day testing things…i get frustrated after a while so i just farm gold without take part to any competitive aspect of the game till i find the forces to test things again.
But,i’m bored of the same 3 build of the engi.
There must be a solution,another hide build that allow me to do something .

I doubt we will ever have a stun breakers on kits…i generally doubt about any near future decent game balance/build update , despite their online teaser interviews….i mean if they think a trap cond dmg ranger is OP…what kind of improvement do you expect???

Sorry for my english.
Regards

I will disagree with you right there.

Yep I played both necromancer and ranger. But I also played every other class in the game in spvp.

No one, except Elementaliste, come close to Engineer skill cap.

How is playing a ranger hard? Tanky BM build? Dodge dodge auto attack dodge dodge auto attack.

Traps? Use traps and auto attack with your short bow. Seriously, you auto attack so much with this class I get bored really fast.

On my engineer, I rarely ever auto attack. I always have a skill that is up to use.

Same thing with necromancer. When I return on my necro, I feel limited because I use 1-5 skills, and I,m stuck with everything on cooldown. Too much auto attack and spamming.

I’M not saying they are really as simple as I say, but they don’t have the micro management of skills like Engineer.

And by the way, a berserker necro isn’t the same as an engineer necro. Sure they don’t have the burst. But they can kit and support damage like no one else. They also can soak a lot more damage then us, with Death shroud and Base HP.

Oh and right now, BM tank ranger and Traps Ranger are amoung to best 1vs1 class. The meta changed a lot since Ranger were the worse class. Especially since they made Pet AI better, that helped them a lot!

I respect your opinion, but as I play with others class a lot, I find my 100nade build to need a lot more effort to play then my others. Except if I fight a clueless player and he permit me to just magnetic pull combo him.

Is GEMA a germany thing? I googled it up fast and it seems.

Man that sucks if they block youtube!

I think the pistol #1 damage, is really average, but overal if you buff it, it can be dangerous with the HGH build. This build is already really strong in tPvP, so It’s going to be hard to buff it without making it too much!

@Anthsss

Do you have a random theory generator Anthsss? :`)

I don’t think right now we can play for the first place, the score difference is too big. We will have to settle for second and try the first next week.

Yep I do.

But mostly again follow 100nade engineer.

For me, killing another 100nade engineer mean that with the same build, I just played better then him. If he kills me, same thing, he outplayed me. I learn a lot from it.

I also feel that a lot of new engineer came because of the now popular new build (still 100nade and HGH PP). I feel it’s my right to bring the pain on them, and show them that playing 100nade is no simple task.

In WvW, I know the danger of 100nade, so I call them out and focus them down.

About the kitten talking, this part I’m not doing it. I love to help fellow engineer. But I feel that with the new wave of engineer in tPvP, you might have fallen on a new engi that used to play a thief and talk kitten to everyone.

@Nirvanna

I don’t understand the part about easy build? HGH and 100nade are easy build?

What?

I won’t talk about HGH since I’m no expert, but 100nade skillcap is very very high, I played a lot of class in tPvP and the amount of skills/low hp and armor of the build make it very hard to play.

Sure, any newb can train the combo for 10 min and land it in sPvP. I concure. Someone posted a video of him magnetic pulling people and comboing them without any effort.

But that doesn’t work vs good player.

In a good fight, every dodge, every skills is important. If I miss an overcharged shot, I’M in trouble. You can’t miss, you have to time everything, know when your skills are gonna be up.

I can use up to 20 and more different skills during a fights. Each one I have to remember when they could finish their cooldown, because If I switch to a specific kit, I need the skills to be up.

You can’t directly use the 100 nade combo during a fight, you have to bait the ennemy. A fight again a 100blade warrior is like a chess match. The first to make a mistake will die.

I love the deep of the 100nade, and it doesn’t feel right to read from someone else that 100nade is skill capped.

You say Engi using 4 kit + rifle, but 100nade is the still 3 kit + rifle. And sorry but I don’t see a GC engin play without a stun breaker.

I will use 4 kit when I will have a stun breaker on one of my kit!

Have a good day!

I concure for that!

I have an Engineer build that revolve around using Elixir X as much as possible, and when I get tornado and receive some confusion, I know I will be death soon.

That’s kitten how much confusion hit you get each second, doesn’t make sense.

And what about class that have only acces to AoE?

We won’t ever be able to 1vs1 someone because we have lower damage?

@MikeRiv

Wow lol! Didn’t know we could play this game on a Xbox controller!

That’s a feat I think.

But I have question for you!

- How do you aim grenade ? or Any AoE targetted?
- How do you switch target vs a mesmer? With so many clone you must tab a lot!

My engineer is my first char since release, and I still play it. Took some break, but still It’s my favorite class. Just because we are so much more complex (when suing class) then other classes (except Elem, they are in the same boat then us).

I feel like the skill cap is higher on Engineer, so I can still get better and better and find new rotation.

on the topic, in s/tPvP we see a lot more engineer then before. Prolly caused by the HGH and 100nade build becoming popular.

In WvW tho it still a rare sight.

If I see one, I go for him directly. Competition! :P

I’m from AR, but I see SoS a lot.

@Phaneo

I personaly mostly focus on WvW, and I’m using his built with all berserker stuff. I think I have 2 soldier part, feet and gauntlet.

Had no issue with my survivality. Maybe sometime with the random DD thief that can one shot you, but in WvW I trade vigor traits for elixir S at 25%hp to counter this. And once you survived their burst, they are dead thief.

You have a lot of defensive cooldown in this build, so you’ll appear to be tankier then you really are.

Nice Video man!

I always like when you post them!

The only thing I’m wondering : Is there a reason why you don’t use fast ground targetting?

Don’t stop, need more videos!

Kardiamond.6952:

It was a general statement for people thinking bandage aren’t viable.

They aren’t viable if you stand in front of a warrior and use them.

They are viable when you kit/LoS people.

It wasn’t aimed at you. :P

I.e. they are good if the other guy doesn’t know how to play.

You’re unlikely to be using line of sight against a great sword warrior he should be trying to stay on top of you. The issue comes down to time and actions you need 3 seconds and 4 actions to get 3 k healing which is OK if you’re not doing something or running away but you can’t be dropping a glue puddle or anything else during that time.

I wouldn’t say the kit is bad it’s good, but glossing over the downside doesn’t make sense.

Well with the amount of CC/chill/slow I can put out, good luck to your great sword warrior to stay on me. If they stay on me, I failed this fight.

I use it a lot, engineer have a lot of way to create space and use it.

We might not be using the same build or the same play style, but for my style it’s really useful, and I wouldn’t trade it for healing turret.

AKLbow.2463:

Dear [TTA],

Please go to AR or BP. We don’t need you.

If I’m not mistaken, I ran with Darkblade in tPvP. And I would sure welcome him on Anvil Rock without hesitation.

From an Engineer 100nade point of view :

1- Mesmer -> Too many defensive cooldown, simili stun breaker on weapon, shatter hurt and blurry fenzy is annoying.
2- Elem -> They have a bit too much of everything. Perma boon and best healing is also an issue for me.
3- Guardian -> Really good defensive cooldown, good healing, good armor. Not much damage.
4- Ranger -> Good ranger have good AoE, can build tanky and still have damage from pet. Lot of dodge.
5 – Thief -> Insta gib can be annoying if taken by surprise. Crazy mobility.
6- Engineer -> Depend of the build, but they have many weakness to be exploited. Still viable.
7- Necromancer -> No defensive cooldown, rely on chill and DS to sock up damage, but it’s not as effective has block/immune/dodge. They are good for support, not much else.
8- Warrior -> One trick pony sadly, they are still effective. For me it’s a good fight, but for everyone else I think they are the weakest class.

I confirm that Shrubfelty is a hell of a fighter.It’s an Honor to fight at your side!

It was a general statement for people thinking bandage aren’t viable.

They aren’t viable if you stand in front of a warrior and use them.

They are viable when you kit/LoS people.

It wasn’t aimed at you. :P

Well I didn’t check it much, but when doing my grenade combo and fire sigil proc, it’s pretty amazing yes.

You have to use medkit and learn to use it to see the potential.

You don’t use bandage when under fire.

You ether CC the enemy, kite them or use map object to LoS and heal with bandage.

With perma switchness, just cast any AoE slow, run behind a wall and drop bandage + self heal for a big amount of hp. You are now good to go.

They might be fine to level, but they aren’t in any other arewa of the game.

Dungeon : They aggro a lot! I don’t know why, but Each time I place one, the boss goes straight to hit and one kitten hit. I’m stuck with 2 enormous CD as utility.

tPvP : They don’t have any mobility, they take too much place in the utility bar (you need a CC breaker and I prefer to have a kit, so that’s leaving me with 1 turret).They do weak damage, and AoE class like warrior, elem, guardian, others engis, mesmer ( nearly everyone) will one shot your turrets.

WvW : Only fought some utility with static discharge build, but even then it was lacking. Again, you have no room for CC breaker, cond removal and kits. They do weak damage, the missile turret miss a lot, are destroyed by AoE and don’t move. You are always on the move in WvW.

I hope they buff the turret next patch, because I don’t see anyone running it in WvW/tPvP. They should at least attack the same target then you if they are in range. Using them versus a mesmer/mm necro/ ranger is useless because it will attack their pet/phantams.

I agree with Faeral,

Versus good player I have to set up my burst and only use it when I made him burst all his defensive cooldown.

While being full GC, I still have really long fight of dodging/blocking and baiting with other class.

Fighting a 100b warrior feel exactly like you said : a chest math. You are on your toe, you never know when he will try to combo you, same thing for him.

@Kodesh

I use more then 20+ different skills during a good fight with my 100nade, I doubt many class can say the same thing.

Short answer : Yep

@moutzaheadin

Yeah that was it.

I didn’t fight much in the camp, I was mostly there on the bridge, and that was awful for me.

I got my kitten kick on that bridge. I have a very hard time vs mesmer.

And I was surprised by that SPLT ranger that was with you, after I left, I had some really really cool duel with him.

I had to adapt my build just for you guys

That female bunker mesmer is Andro? I had a really great and long fight with her in a semi group fight. It was inbetween the 2 south tower. Ask her about it. That was a lot of fun.

We started outnumbered, then we outnumbered her, couldn’t kill her. Ended with us having to run because her ally came back. But it was an amazing fight.

Hoping to cross your path again!

@Osif

Will be looking for you then!

I remember your asura warrior, he was a pain in the uterus.

You were tanky a lot if I remember huh? :P

I love fighting warrior 100b, it’s usually a coin toss, who can bait there oponent, making them dodge or pop defensive cooldown before going for the combo.

Not sure you are 100b tho?

@Skarllok

Wow Oh my god.

I just got forum stomped

I really like to gives excuses, as I can feel better after I lose a fight!

I also thought using encounter with randoms as an example was OK, since you did it with your previous post. Just wanted to send you back the ball.

I fail to find my others posts filled with excuses. I’m bad at this too!

Overall, I’m happy to see you guys talk about me in your guild. Man I didn’t know I had such an impact on ENVY. I gotta admit it hurts my feeling a bit.

And you are right, I’m pretty average, and I’m pretty much a dBag(Anvil Plant can attest the last part). Sadly, your mesmer not being able to kill me in a 3vs2 must mean ahe is also pretty average, especially since she had to run a couple of time to survive. Tell her to add me as a friend, we shall talk about it between average people!

I’m not wishing to be taken seriously! I just want to continu my roaming, and give props to people that deserve it. Just for you, I will take the time in each one of my post, to write that I died a lot more then I killed people.

By the way, your two mesmer are among the best mesmer I fought. And I love how the female one have a different build from the usual shatter mesmer. Tho the PAXA char mesmer is still the best I ever fought, from any class.

Pleasure to have a discusion with you.

Edit : Was it a bit too much passive-aggresive? I don’t want to cause any hateful discusion in your guild chat!

Depend what kind of player you are, but I just can’t play without Medkit.

1- With point in tools you can get to 16 sec cooldown, while elixir H is 20 sec with trait.

2- 3 badage that heal for around 1k and have a .5 factor healing if I remember correctly.

3- You have a condition removal integrate, not the best, but still good and on a low cooldown.

4- You have a fury/swiftness dispensor.

5- Good sinergy with speedy kit, you can use the #5 stimulant for perma switchness.

6- Weak explosion with Kit Refinement, but hey free 500-700 damage is still damage.

7- You can use the kit while in Elixir S.

8 – One of the best thing : At 25% hp, if you are traited in tool, your F1 heal will recharge!

9- The best thing in my opinion, switching to this kit act as an “On Healing” effect. Meaning that rune with On Heal effect while proc when you switch to this kit. I used to run rune of the grove, each time I switched to med kit to bandage, I receive an AoE 700-800 heal each 10 seconde. That’s great. I know use the regeneration one, getting reg each 10-15 sec.

I just can’t run without medkit anymore!

Warjin.8942:

Eng. is lacking compared to other classes in terms of damage to survivability ratio.

Again I feel Anet overlooked this class and thought because of the tools & turrets that they should have the lowest base weapon damage and lowest base survivability, I know you can spec to become a pretty beefy Eng. and pretty good damage but it’s one or other unlike any other class that can find a happy D to S ratio.

Lets take the ranger’s short bow for example, this weapon has a lower base damage but is more then made up for with it’s instant speed cast and the mobile pet (pretty much a passive condition), the Eng. on the other hand has a very low damage pistol with a slow cast time and is not made up by other abilities like other classes.

I would like you to do some testing on making the pistol standard attack instant like the rangers short bow (this should even the damage to survivability ratio), also would like you to fix duel pistol number 4 (Blowtorch) this is a mess in PvP, the cone effect does not work half the time in both pvp & pve, how about make it something like a 360 spin that increases its condition damage the closer you are to the Eng.

Also just for looks make number 2 (Poison Dart Volley) shoot from both pistols.

Engineer take more time before getting good at it. Contrary to believe, some Engineer buuld are even more challenging then Elem. You don’t have as many Oh kitten skills, so you can’t tolerate mistake. You can’t miss your overcharge shot. You have to land your grenade, your blow torch.

You have to perma swtich between kit. Know all your skill, approximativ cooldown.

Give it some time, Engineer get really strong after a while.

Engineer being under estimate is a good thing.

How many time I see people (especially in WvW since people lack any kind of respect for engineer) invite me to party after I killed them to ask how did I do that with an engineer.

100 nade engi,
HGH cond engi,

Two extremely powerful build, in pvp, wvw and pve.

I run my 100 nade build in PvE in FotM, and I usually never die. With perma vigor, switching Elixir S for Elixir Gun, you should rarerly get hit, and have a lot of heal to back you up if it happens.

You can also stack 25 vuln on the enemy, helping the team, and doing really nice damage with your grenade.

Skarloc.2569:

For guys you claimed were “nothing special”, those fights sure didn’t seem to go well for you. But since we’re on the subject of “nothing special”, it is enjoyable to see you out there. You take care now.

Those I fought before were nothing special, and I still stand case. They were also hiding in groups of people to fight.

Now for our fight, are you the asura or the female human?

I agree It didn’t go really well, tho for my sake, I was running my zerg hunting buid (no stun breaker, limited defensive mecanism) and was with a bunch of random vs two very talented mesmer and the best ranger I fought (SPLT). I also had an issu with the way that you guys keep focus firing me, why the hate!

Anyway, I love fighting mesmers in WvW. Well I hate it too. They are my worse counter, for the simple reason that they have too many defensive cooldown, I just can’t pin them down. Man you guys even have a simili stun breaker on your staff! :P And confusion in WvW is a pain. So the reason I love to fight you guys, it’s a crazy challenge each time. The most skilled mesmer I encountered so far being the PAXA char mesmer.

But, I think I avenged my case later that day. If you are the female human mesmer, you know it. This time I was roaming with my Elem friend, and we took the female mesmer + 2 of their ally in a fight. 2 on 3. And even if we had to finaly run away, after like a 5-10 min fight that was crazy, we downed and kill your allies many many time.

I don’t think we downed the female mesmer tho, but hey, she is tank build and a mesmer, I don’t worry about that. And we were outnumbered, pretty hard to focus on a tanky mesmer. As long as you don’t down me. This time I had my Elixir S equiped. Helped a lot. :P

I welcome futur encounter with you guys, still wishing we had no culling/confusion boost in WvW.

@osif

Man, I had a fight to finish with that thief! And no, I won’t put my honor in line in a duel versus a mesmer! Like I just said, they are my hard counter.

Been a long time since I saw you guys? Are you still hanging in the bottom of the borderlands?

How is this utility a reason why we have a bad downed state? It’s an utility, not a downed ability. Its a defensive cooldown like mist form or endure pain.

90% of engi population who dont use elixir R dosnt deserve the worse downed statebecause of that poor excuse.

Borlis Pass cracks me up.. Trying a new build on one of my characters, and every fight is either 2v1, 3v1, or 10+v1. They laugh, or goad as if they’ve done something. That’s one thing I respect from NSP is that they always challenge people to 1v1s, and we always show each other respect. Borlis Pass never runs solo, and they never show respect.

Seriously guys, it is a game. Enjoy it without trying to ruin everyone elses fun.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

i play in a 4-5 man guild on BP. Most nites we have 2-3 on and alot of time i go out solo. If you are solo expect to have 1vs2 1 vs 3 fights. AR and Shiver have never ever let me duel when it was 1 vs more than 1. So get of your high horse and either l2play or get friends. People play the same way no matter what server you come from.

And thanks

What is your Guild name? I rarely see other soloer around.

I fought some good duo-5 man from PAXA, TBAG, CORE and some others.

Heard about ENVY, but I only fought some random Envy and they were not anything special, but I’m sure they have some solid player. Heard about Skez or what ever too, but Only fought them when they were big numbers.

laughing and dancing over corpse are not server thing. Jkctmc say BP are worse then NSP, yet Bird Song just posted a screenshot of him spamming laugh over a corpse. and he is a commander, lacking any kind of sportmanship.

Respect come from skill, not server. I found out that the best fight I had where I lost, people didnt laught. And those that I won, many them they came back and /bow.

But when you get outnumbered, zerged, that when I find myself the victim of laught and dancing over corpse. They usually lack any kind of skill, and take their chance to dance over your corpse because they know they won’t be able to do it without their zerg.

But I personnaly don’t mind it. It motivate me to hunt the zerg, and kill them by surprise when they don’t watch their back. This kind of player usually die fast (usual GC thief).

Engineer are surprisinly good solo roamer!

I have been solo roaming with mine for 1-2 weeks, hunting the zerg.

I’m using a modified 100nade build using slick shoes. Slick shoes is really good to escape the zerg. Hit and run.

Also if you get swarmed by 3-4 player in melee range, pop slick shoe, stun them all and 100nade combo them. You can insta kill 2-3 of them.

You die pretty fast tho if you miss your dodge/escape/defensive cd.

You can also use the five gauge build, Elixir S is better then slick shoe over all, but is lacking the escape abilities again a zerg.

I think we just had more commanders, and good ones, out in the field Thursday, tbh. At least this Thursday. I was running around AR BL with 12-15 people tops for most of the night.

The problem for AR is that they only existed in 2 zones – their BL and in EB. It’s pretty easy for us to focus solely on them. This also gives NSP a big opening to hit AR since now they have to fight against two servers instead of one. AR also consistently take the early leads and holds onto them for most of the week. Personally, I will always attack the server in the lead in any way I can. (If BP is in the lead, I don’t play much!). Being in the lead paints a huge target on your back.Thus AR is very vulnerable.

With persistence we were able to hold onto objectives in AR BL and keep stuff downgraded and the Hills keep’s supply bare. We threw all our forces at EB while a much smaller force distracted sizable amounts of AR in their BL – we had probably 20-30 AR attacking our sole tower possession in their zone at Lake Tower; meanwhile, we we’re hitting their Keep in EB with our main forces. We traded a tower for their entire corner in EB. After flipping everything in EB, and them trying to take their Keep back, our forces all came to their BL and we were able to take the Hills and hold it for the remainder of the night. Since their EB keep was wood, we were able to take that back too.

I can’t speak to how many numbers we had on – we may have very well had more people on due to the success we were having and the thrill of that last ditch push – but I think it could be fair to say that we did have some superior strategic positioning: We kept you on the defensive and forced you to split your forces. Through persistence, not numbers, we held many AR defenders in their own BL allowing us to have an advantage in EB.

All-in-all though, it was a lot of fun fighting it out last night. Tiring. But fun. This is how the game should be, and I greatly enjoy nights like these.

Not to counter argument you, but each weeks since we have this match up, BP always did a come back 1-2 days before reset.

It’s always like that, even if we didn’t get the lead all week like right now. I doubt it has anything to do with a surprise tactical operation from NSP.

Seems like many commanders from BP are devoted and are doing night long shift to come back in score.

Chaith.8256:

@Durzilla, The fall dmg trait & kit refine are confirmed in the live build to share a cooldown. Only 2 barrages are possible.

Ah, did not realize that. That is good to know.

So when Chaith say it, it’s ok, but I say it I’m wrong?!

Be kitten you NevirSayDie!

(Don’t worry I would have done the same :P)

Mesmer might have a bit of a lower burst, but they make up for it by having so many “Oh kitten abilities”.

They are the hardest class for me to pin down, so even if they are full GC, I have a harder time one shotting them then a bunker BM Ranger.

So you are saying Chaitch “Five Gaugw” is carried?

By the way Durzlaa,

The fall grenade traits share the cooldown of refinement kit. So no, you can’t have 3 grenade barrage.

And OGDeadHead you just said you removed the duplicates, which are really easy to spot in your screen shot, but you still think he hit you with more then 16 grenades?

The fall trait had nothing to do with it.

To the CORE duo of Guardian/Warrior yesterday, man you guys are thought to kill.

I had a random necromancer with me, which was kinda weak, but I usually can fight 1 vs 2 and win.

But you guys had really good reflect and abilities, and a lot of CC to pin me down and 100b me .

I died more then I usually do, and I would be happy to fight you guys again. I had my zerg hunting utility, so I had no CC breaker to counter your stun.

I won once, but that was a lucky 100nade combo.

Would be happy to try my luck again!

I’m not saying he did it on purpose, but if you make that kind of post and use a screenshot, at least double check it.

Don’t make 100nade build even stronger lol. 5 more grenade is a lot.

I thought too, but since Chaith said it was 16 :P

But I heard they changed it in a previous patch? So grenadier would affect grenade barrage? Not sure tho.

I didn’t take chance so I said 16.
