@Anvil Pants
Least accurate? It happened yesterday. BEARDED.6485 and you were the commander in EB. (I think it was you, might be “inaccurate”.)

We asked for help on Anz, and BEARDED.6485 answered : just let it go, we will cap it later. Same thing with Ogrewatch, but we defended it by ourselves.

I don’t understand why you dont fortify our position, before pushing in the ennmy territory like you did. You have the man power, the communication, the ressources.

The alliance is doing a good job at attacking, but I travelled with you guys for 2 weeks, and we only defended the bay and sometime the garrison. Never the towers, and never building defensive siege.

I remember once, ennemy were attacking our tower near spawn in ennemy BL, we only had this tower. They were like 15-20. We had an alliance zerg going on trying to get the Hills.

The hills siege was failing, so I ported to waypoint and tried to protect our tower. Alliance zerg also ported, and when I asked to come protect the tower they all ignored. They followed the commander and took a camp right next.

They finaly came back at the tower, like 1 min after the ennemy capped it.

We could have defended it, but taking a camp and listening to a non commander was too hard.

I used to defend the alliance, but after witnessing screenshot of you guys hacking during the last match up, I lost the respect. I remember hearing on the TS people talking about exploiting a tower, I thought they were joking.

Am I still :

Least accurate? That was the exact sentence that Bearded used just yesterday.
Disrespectful? I lost it since you guys used exploit to cap keeps.
Zero Real information ? I have been on the TS for 2 weeks, so I got real information.
Nonsense opinion? That’s your opinion

I will repeat it, I still think the Alliance is doing a good job. I’m not saying you guys are bad at sieging, or that you have a bad leadership.

I think you guys forget tend to forget to defend tower, and that you got our server a really bad reputation because your members used exploit to attack a garrison.

I think all three server are doing very well in this server.

GoM, even if they lack the numbers, are still staying close in score and will attack from nowhere, keeping you on your toe.

NSP got really good number, might be around the same number as AR, maybe more maybe less. It changed a lot since release when you stomped us twice in a row. :P
But NSP seems to have a bit more strategy and a better around the clock coverage.

We really need a day crew, when I get back from work at around 5pm, we are always outmanned. We get back in the score during our primetime. Sadly it’s not enought to comeback from the day.

We also need to learn to defend. Anvil Rock T. A .R . D (can’t even write the alliance name) are all offense, and no defence. They nearly never build any siege or upgrade towers. When one of our tower is under attack, they just say : let it go, we gonna cap it back after.

A well defended tower can keep an ennemy occupy for a long time, and be defended even if you are outmanned.

We still have a long way to go before going up in tier! Especially with DR coming up, they seems to have gotten a big influx in players.

Drarnor : I’m ain’t sure at all about the build you are suggesting ahaha.

Scepter and warhorn? I tried every weapon combo for fun, and this one didn’t work really well. In PvP, I don’t want to go melee with Scepter. Why I would want that? If I get to melee, they will outdps me with Melee weapon. I was rarely ever using WH abilities because I was trying to keep my distance.

And like you say, WH #5 is really good in practice, but not so much in pvp. Too many leap, blink, knockback ect..

I agree with you on Spectral Graps. While it can be good, so many times it’s doesn’t work. Each time I cast it, I feel like I have a 50% of failure. Same thing with Dagger #3.

Corrupt Boon. A really fun skill, tho it’s not always useful. I have it failing a lot because the range is 900, and I tend to stay at 1200 range. In the heat of battle, I tend to outrange it a lot, wasting it. I would have loved might boon to be converted to bleed.

Plaguesignet is just another life transfer, the passive is bugged so I’m not a fan.

Flesh Golem won’t attack 70% of the time, I only rely on the stun. And since it won’t attack, it won’t always be in range to stun. Lot of moving during a fight, if your ennemy outrange the golem it’s a waste.

Also, this build miss the attriction criteria. You won’t become stronger as the fight goes, since you don’t have any regen. The longer the fight goes, the weaker you get.

necro or engineer?

in Necromancer

Posted by: Kardiamond.6952

Kardiamond.6952

Both are good option.

Engineer got hit by the nerf bat last update with the 30% (35% if you trust people on the forum) damage reduction on grenade damage.

You will have a lot of option but you’ll have to do a lot of button smashing. If you go grenade you’ll develop carpal tunel issue. If you don’t, you’ll swap a lot between the kit.

Engineer are a lot of fun, and are efficient in pve. There super Elixir (healing from elixir gun) got nerfed last week too. With my multi-kit build I can throw around a lot of CC/Heals/Conditions to help the team in dungeon run.

Most Engineer attack are AoE, so you’ll have no issue with that.

Necromancer is more straight forward. Our class unique ability ( Death Shroud) is kinda boring but is very handy during dungeon run when you are getting low on HP.

Depending the build you’ll play, you can be very effective in dungeon. Condimancer are only gimped if you have too many conditions-damage class in your group. Since conditions ether stop staking at 25, or just don’t stack at all.

Well-o-Mancer (use wells to do damage) is really strong, and can be used with vampiric skills to regen some life.

Necro isn’t much of a support tho. You have very few boon to help your ally. You absorb your ally conditions (bugged won’t work really well) and throw them back at your ennemies. You can also convert condition into boon with well of power, but it has a 60 sec cooldown.

Necro staff, Wells and epidemic are really good for AoE. This is one of the strong point of necro, ranged AoE Damage (if specced for ranged Wells).

Both class are really cool, Engineer is a lot of management and can be harder to play then Necro, only because if you are build around using a lots of kit, you will have to swap kit a lot and remember your skills.

Necro isn’t easy ether, you have to always keep an eyes on your life force, so know when to use it.

@Dark Aidget

Those aren’t our cheater ether, we didn’t have any issue with hacking before last week. They just transfer from server to server.

Sadly since it happened, BP is acting like Anvil Rock is a server full of hacker. You judged us over a few players actions.

In this week match up, no hacking at all on our side. You are stuck with them now

A few players? The screens we showed had a good 50+ some you could not see. In addition most major guilds and the alliance were represented in those screens. This was not newbs following with lack of knowledge, this was a wide section of established guilds players CHEATING! Plok knocks you from that high horse, hey just like in game.

How was I on my high horse, did I say anything about it? I just said we didn’t have the cheaters anymore, well they don’t seems to be. And one of your guys said they were with you know.

I’m the one that said to everyone Anvil Rock was hurt by this wave of hacking, and I worked hard to find and clean the server.

But I come to this thread to see how BP is going on, and the only thing I see is BP saying bad thing about Anvil Rock, saying we are full of hacker and cry baby.

We had ONE wave of hacker since release… Not like we can do anything to control it.

The rivalry is over between BP and AR, we won’t fight each other for quit some time. There are no reasons to continu to drag us in the mud over something we can’t control. (In a match up that you controled and stomped us, by the way)

In those 50 players, I’m sure only a minority knew the portal was from an exploit. It happened to me, and I know it’s happening. You can’t always know how the mesmer got inside.

Now feel free to let it go, no need to beat a dead horse. We aren’t making BP a bad reputation in our thread, I would expect the same sportmanship from you BP.

Borliss Pass did a good job and are becoming a really strong server, so I wish you good luck.

P.S : Just read the next post.

“Now clearly, this isn’t a mass guild exploit of +40 people like what Anvil Rock does on a daily basis”

No need for this kind of bashing when it happened once.

Petition to disable Reanimator

+1

I don’t want it disable, it shouldn’t be a forced trait at all. 50% of people going the Death Traits line are putting points to get greaters marks and staff reduced cooldown. Those necro don’t want a minion!

Make it optional, just give us something else like dark armor. Or make it a 25 pointstraits like others said. If you are going 25 in death, 95% it’s because you are going MM build. You would have to buff the traits tho.

Also, even if a Dev said otherwise, in sPvP the damn reanimator minion still revive people. Someoene posted a video of illusion of life rezzing somoene and staying alive because they killed a reanimator minion.

Fear is a condition, not a real CC.

It’s not cheaper then any other abilities in the game.

Our fear is now both affected by defiance/stability AND condition resist/removal/immunity.

Other CC can’t be removed, They last until done.

Fear is condition, and should be threated as such.

Mesmer hand down.

If you sPvP a bit, you know a good mesmer always win vs a good Ranger. Mesmer has too many efficient tools.

While they hit you with 100% of their DPS, you’ll lose 30% of your dps because your melee pet is running in circle behind the mesmer. Or because your devourer is getting LoS and out of ranged.

@Bichpwner
@Savan

Way to think you guys are so much better then the rest.

Savan : I don’t know how you got to lvl 30 fractal and you are still clueless about fear.

But I see what you mean, a Necro staying behind only auto attacking doesn’t need fear. Seems like that’s the gameplay you want for us.

“Thank god there are still non-feral necros on this forum”

So your best ally here, is the only guy that decided to insult everyone on the forum, whose name is “Bichpwner”. This is your example of non-feral necro? You can stay with him. I will stay with the rest of the communty.

We might whine a bit, but we have some good reason. If we don’t whine, they don’t know. Just check Minion AI and reanimator for example, They didn’t know about it even if we posted it many time. We had to make numerous post to finaly get it checked upon.

I don’t think I will make you change your mind, but people that think like you are the reason why we have so many unfair actions in game.

Those are exploit. Everybody know it. We know it. You know it. When you play the game, you agree with the code of conduct of Anet. If you exploit, you are going again the code of conduct, and shall then be punished.

If we follow your logic, I could use a speed hack as long as Anet doesn’t block it. Yeah man great logic.

Don’t try to defend exploiting, there is no way you’ll get out with it.

Are you admiting you are using exploit? Since you think it’s ok, I don’t see why you wouldn’t use them.

I also think they should balance thief around the culling issue.

Last update, they changed the code so the game load ennemies before loading allies. You know why they did that? Because this is prolly a very difficult bug to solve, and it won’t be solve for a long time.

Might as well balance classes around it.

By balance, I don’t mean NERF THIEF STEALTH. I mean change the stealth a bid, and boost there survivability.

You know D/D Ele can still switch to staff out of combat right? Most Ele do that when they get in siege mod.

If I follow your logic, a class can 1 vs 10 a group, but it’s ok since they are not one of the 3 useful class during a siege.

This is not a duel by the way, this is a 1 vs 10.

99% player cannot do that? You should do a quick search on you tube. 1 vs X DD elem video are quit frequent.

We can all agree those 10 players were bad. I completly agree with you. But One player killing 10 bads is still a lot more then others can do.

I do it often on my necro.

The result? They swap to water, get all their boon back like 1-2 sec after losing them, and removing every condition.

I see a lot of people saying Corrupt boon is the counter, but it’s not. It sure help, but since Elem get constant stream of condition removal and boon, it’s not that great.

I would have reported every freaking cheater that was there. Man I hate people that use exploit, even more when they are part of the alliance.

So to every other player from other server that I replied saying Anvil Rock didn’t have more cheater then other server, I might have been wrong.

I don’t mind when it’s a random guild/player, we can’t control that. But when it’s a major guild?

I used many build to counter thief.

  • MM build → Awful
  • Condimancer → average
  • Master of terror (2x fear duration, Reaper protection, damage on fear, was working on nightmare rune) → average
  • Glass Cannon Well-o-mancer → That was the best of the 4, in my experience, to counter thief.

It’s hard to say, since you don’t always fight good thief. But spamming some marks and wells usually insta kill bad thief.

But good thief and P/D thief will just laught and walk away fro my 42 sec cooldown wells.

and these stats are sooooo accurate right? you even admit your stats for GW2 is biased. go in another forum and spout your false facts

And where are yours? You are the one that said stealth were the least played. I just said it wasn’t how I see it.

Peoples in this thread seems to fight really bad thief.

Those thief are not a problem, since they mostly die in 3 hit.

I full mark rotation on a good thief, won’t kill them.

A condimancer vs a P/D Thief also won’t kill them, as when they are invis we can only rely on mark to hit them (auto attack with staff yeah sure? or scepter #2 and #5, if you are really lucky.

They can remove condition as fast as necromancer (they remove condition each 3 sec in stealth, remove bleed and poison on heal).

I fought a good P/D thief not long ago when I was condimancer specced. I’m not bad at all in pvp, as I rarely go down to anyone in a 1vs1. But I just couldn’t burst down this thief. He was kinda outhealing my conditions. Sure he didn’t hit hard ether, but he was having the best out of me.

I’m a condimancer with 3 conditions removal, I shouldn’t be afraid of cond thief, but he still got me.

Why Stealth?

and this is why there is so much QQ about stealthers in MMOs. everyone things their class is balanced(or even under powered) and all other classes are over powered.

Dear devs.

Nerf rock. Paper is good like it is.

Your’s truly,
Scissors

Happens in every game.

If it was the case, we would see a nerf post for each class.

Weird that it’s always the thief? Also weird that is also the only class you can play with 4 keybind.

You had quit a good assault team in our borderland, not sure ether if we could have hold you.

But from my perspective, it would have been a lot easier.

When defending you, we also had to defend from SF. Our forces were divide in 2. That’s why you had such an easy way in the Bay hehe.

Anway it’s done, lets continu those good fight!

Did you guys recap our keep in EB? Each time we get it in the evening, the morning after we lost it again We have some good fights for this keep aha.

@Dkz Lux

I joined a screenshot below.

It was taken like 30-60 min after the reset.

SF didn’t help us. Sure fighting over garrison was a good thing for us, but having to defend from two front, from two ennemies, that didn’t help us at all.

The only reason why they didn’t take Hills was because we defended it. They went for Garrison and probly didn’t know you were inside. But they still lost it right after.

If you check other borderland, BP was attack free, EB had BP attacking us And SF had BP attacking them.

So BP attacked everyone, SF attacked AR, and AR defended vs 2 ennemies. And we also had to defend from BP in EB.

The reset day is big, this is the moment that will decide if fairweather stay or go pve. I’m sure we lost a lot of them after this attack, especially since we thought SF would give us a break.

Borliss Pass would still have won this match up, but I still think SF went the easy way and attacked the smallest ennemy. While Anvil Rock went for BP right after, just to kittenw ith ya1 :P

I have no bad feeling about it, Just wanted to explain the situation. I wasn’t proud of my SF friend.

Stealthers are the least played class?

What?

Stealthers in every MMO I played were the most played class.

Vanilla Wow, SWTOR Assassins, AoC ect..

Hell, even GW2 30% of the player I see in WvW are thief.

Yeah,

I’m still wondering why SF focused so much on us right at the reset.

It’s a good tactic to play for the 2nd place, but since the reset happened, I thought we would go for the bigger dog, aka BP.

Since BP and Ar have some kind of bad blood, if SF focus on us we are really in trouble. As BP tend to focus more on us.

@Wasabee

Are you really Wow invis was better then GW2 invis?

  • Wow :
    – Perma stealth out of combat.
    – Slower movement speed while stealthed.
    – Can be detected by skills or being too close/in front of people.
    – Can be used in combat only once with a 2 min cooldown.
    – No Culling
    – Average mobility
  • GW2 Stealth
    – Temporary stealth, except if using combo.
    – No movement speed penalty, can trait for +33% movement speed
    – Can’t be detected
    – Can be used in combat every 5 sec.
    – Culling issue (I don’t think they will resolve it anytime soon, so it’s a real issue)
    – 2nd best mobility in the game.

I agree with you, give all thief in GW2, the same stealth that rogue had in WoW. I’m all for this idea.

since most class will gain a 25% signet

@OldGrimm

Do you really have to make 2 thread about the same subject?

Thief will still have the second best mobility in the game. It wasn’t about the signet, it’s about all your in combat mobility skill. Just use them and you won’t have any issue chassing someone.

Oh and if you want to escape… just stealth right?

Kardiamond.6952

Are you really whining about this change? The end of thief?

Wow way to make it look worse then it is.

Most necro already have perma swiftness during fight, because 50% of them have spectral walk. You don’t see them outrun thief do you? Nop because thief can just spam shortbow and get back to them.

25% speed in combat doesn’t change much, and they will have to sacrifice an utility for a speed signet. Be happy about it.

Don’t forget they can freely C&D your pet without any risk of missing.

Here is a video posted on the thief forum :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ZpERlZWy5Lc

Watch, and no offence to the maker, but he doesn’t show off any kind of skill. He is an average player at best.

He isn’t Wild Bill, he is only auto attacking, C&D and using heal/utility when in trouble.

Can it get easier then that?

And he still win 1v3 fights.

The new FotM P/D build is even easier then D/D thief, and are more effective.

you know, i don’t come to the forums all that often, but when I do, I am constantly reading about zergs and thieves. while I do agree that rendering gives thieves a distinct advantage, all classes can be made to have strengths. Even engineers, which in some ways is (imo) the hardest class to play, can be pretty strong.

zerging, unfortunately, is part of Wv3. For anyone that really wants to smurf about it, well, talk to ArenaNet and NC Soft. They are the ones that made the game the way that it is. I’ve run into all these things and gotten my smurf kicked quite often. Not gonna get on here and flame about it.

Now, if anyone had anything to flame about, it would be the lack of real competition from the servers BP has been up against in the last 3-4 weeks. We have planted servers in the ground, hoping they would grow, and alas, it just isn’t meant to be. Hopefully, we will have a more competitive time in the next tier up.

I understand that BP has probably gotten transfers while other servers haven’t. If people WANT to come to BP, great. Come be a part of the PACT and we’ll show you a good time. Zerg or no, we have worked damn hard to get to where we are. We have come up with many different strategies to confuse and demoralize. Don’t discount that fact. Plok, Diasho, and do different things every week.

In the end, we are borg, you will be assimilated, and resistance is futile.

That what’s happen when a server get a urge of transfer. And that’s Why I’m again free transfer.

I’m not saying you guys didn’t group up and didn’t use tactics. You did! And are really effective at it!

But going from last tier, to a futur tier 6, In 1 month?

Going from really close games between you AR and GoM, to complete domination? Hell each night you guys control the entire map, 100% green.

You guys are really really good, and have some good commanders! But you just can’t deny the fact.

Something happened to your population, especially since you guys keep talking about queue, and people can’t transfer anymore to BP since the server is Full.

Mass transfer to low tier server aren’t fun. I hope it won’t happen to AR, I hate having an easy match up like we had last week.

I hope BP will finaly find a better challenge in the upper match up.

Tho We had some pretty good fights this week!

I agree this is the worse stealth class system I ever seen in MMO.

Why say you don’t want perma invis class, only to give it to them after?

I prefered the WoW invisible classe, at least you could detect them, see them when in front of you, and they were not able to invis in combat except with a long cooldown ability. And I didn’t even like WoW.

It’s funny how everyone who defend thief seems to have a lvl 80 thief. main/alt, Saying that people have to learn them to counter them. I sure did, and it didn’t help much, you only learn how powerful they are.

Just check Wildbill video. He can take so many players at once. When you have a group, everty players need to dodge at the same time, otherwise one of them will be C&D and here we go again.

“But thief lack survivability!”

What? How are they worse then Elem? Ranger?

  • Elem -> Same HP, Clothe armor. They make up for it by having the best mobility in the game and using a lot of boon.
  • Ranger -> 4k more hp, Leather armor. They don’t have any special mitigation. They can have a pet blocking for them for 6 sec, other then that they rely on poor mobility and dodge.

Thief have the second best mobility in the game, have stealth, have better damage then both class, have leather armor and really good regen. They also have better condition removal then ranger.

I don’t see how they deserve the stealth more then lets say Ranger? They don’t have less survability. I will trade the 4k hp over stealth any time.

P.S : To those saying just dodge the C&D, say that to a Ranger. Oh You want to dodge my C&D, no worries I’M just going to C&D your pet. Nothing a Ranger can do.

@Plok

Man next time /whisper me at Kardiamond.6952, if we ever get a 80+ zerg, I wanna see it.

Seriously I doubt we even have 80+ counting the 4 maps togheter most of the time.

And every server Zerg, BP first has they have the population. Didn’t you learn it already?

No use to cry about it each Match up thread.

Zerg will zerg, on every server, everytime. Especially when they are in their own borderland.

I also get rolled by zerg, I don’t like it ether. I don’t like the zerging aspect of WvW. But what can we do huh?

Everything is in favor of zerging, so no surprise people do it.

Yes the alliance doesn’t focus on defending. This is their major flaw.

But this week, it’s not much an issue. You know why? Because we don’t have a night crew like BP.

With the loot change/bug, I have a hard time getting gold. I’m not a farmer, I only farm because I have to, if I want to WvW. I don’t have much gold to upgrade keep/tower. So When I know we will lose everything for sure at night, I prefer keeping my gold for something else.

We should have the option fo paying with Honor badge for upgrade. It would be so much better.

I don’t care about legendary, I don’t care about WvW Exotic, so I don’t have much to buy with badge except siege.
