GW2 should stop making higher tier armor, exotics were fine and required a lot of farming anyway. I’m never going to bother with ascended gear (other than some back pieces because I want a quiver on my warrior/ranger) because 1: it takes exponentially more materials than exotics (which required exponentially more than the regular) and 2: it all looks terrible to me.

Sad thing is GW2 has turned into a the worst grindfest of any MMO I’ve played and it didn’t take long at all for that to happen.

Just release new skins for the old armor qualities that don’t cost gems (usually real money) to get and don’t require a full time job on the game. I remember GW1 used to remind you to take a break every three hours and told you every hour you’d been playing for (partly to get people away from their computers). GW2 decided it’d ignore that good idea.

Is the GW2 the only MMO you ever played then?

Better recheck your math, UHD

1scrap currently goes for 1.8silver x 10,0000 = 180gold.

Yeah, but 180/3 is 60 and 60×10 is 600. Also I hate Anet. Also WvWers are poor. Also gear treadmill. Also Anet doesn’t care about us.

Why warriors are nerfed to dirt in MMORPGs

It’s not 1 warrior that’s the problem, it’s multiple warriors.

The best synergy for a hammer warrior is another hammer warrior. When you get 4-5 together they can easily take out groups 3x their size.

What if its 5 Hammer Warrior vs 15 Hammer Warriors?

/age is 2800+
Been playing since early release and took about 5 month break (due to work).
Right now I’m sitting at 647g with 5 precursors in the bank. My caracters have various T3s and on my mains I have Incinerator, Dreamer, Eternity and Bolt.

I mostly play long term TP (sometimes short sell) and gamble often in the mystic forge, sometimes it’s just 4 a day sometimes its 300g a day. My last big dump I had about 1600g and managed to get Dusk, Dawn, The Legend(sold) and Howl. Will sell Dawn and Howl, saving dusk for a guildie.

If WvW had big 2 week content updates

Keiel.7489

Have you done any of the 2 week living story contents? it’s 1-3 days of people rushing to do it, and 13-10 days of the events being a barren wasteland. If you add in extra achievements into WvW then you’ll get more population all around since there is a cap and WvWers would complain even more about PvEers taking up WvW slots.

The LS content isn’t even big, it’s small, usually recycled material with some random prizes thrown in to appease the mass. I’m not sure if that’s the content you want in WvW.

I rather have long times between updates as long as the updates are well thought out. For WvW I want quality over quantity.

WvW and PvE build

PvE:
http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/83915-axemace-dps-build-for-dungeons-and-fractals-101513/

The guide is there. Theres other builds, but that one is basically tops.

WvW. It depends on if you solo, small man, or zerg.
Solo/Small Man ~
Hammer/GS:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIAQJARSjkOtwJPyOMxBE0DNkL2ijCqgJUKsj6A-j0xAYrARWCUCsIasVwioxqWwUlER1ejioVLFwoKjA-w

Both builds you can swap out the food for Bowl of Lemongrass Poultry if you are running into condition damage issues. Hammer/GS is for stun/CC lock and spiking with GS. Rifle/Gs is for rifle main damage, GS for kite/panic. Kill shot works more often than you think, if you start the animation before they stealth it will track them through. Swap out the sigil of Fury for Sigil of might if you are running into alot of people who pop mist form/shield block whatever else they think they can just stop your kill shot will. Pop the sigil last second and your kill shot will break them.

ZvZ Hammer/Sw+WH (my personal build~ Ascended included):

Buff Final Thrust

in Warrior

Posted by: Keiel.7489

Keiel.7489

Let’s make Backstab do more damage if it’s from the front too, cause the damage is useless from the front.

Final Thrust is meant to be use while target is under 50% as a “finishing blow” it’s not something you run in to take them down to 50% with. If you deem it useless aove 50% then maybe thats why the damage is half of what it is above 50%, maybe the devs want you to actually think about how you use the skill.

It’s kind of common for almost every MMO. Top Tier gear stats is marginally better than the 2nd best but is usually god aweful expensive or hard to get. Not really a big deal, it gives absolute min/maxers something to do while making minimal impact on balance.

Don’t use the MF if you are bad at gambling. I don’t mean “bad” as in you have no control over the roll of the dice, “bad” as in you can’t handle taking losses. Mystic Forge is for those who enjoys to play the risk, sure some make huge profits, some get a margin of it, and most probably just lose everything they have. It’s all for the risk of getting that “win”. For me I like gambling, I’ve had pretty good luck in the past and I would say I am on the high end of the streak. Last night I decided to dump some gold into the toilet and see what I could get. First I spent 300g on GS, got dawn. Then another 300g on Staves, Got the Legend. Got everything on the TP and for both I think I got the precursor somewhere at the mid way point, could have sold the rest of the exotics and made some gold back but I kept trying, just for fun. I then also bought Warhorns 300g. Same deal half way through I got Howl, kept dumping the rest into the Mystic Toilet.

Probably will just sell The Legend and Dawn, since I have no need for either, it’s about a 400g profit, which I’ll probably lose to the MF later on.

What kind of idiots do you take new players for? It’s like a general assumption that all new players are brand new to the internet and gaming all together? I don’t argue that there are some who is completely brand new, but farming of one thing or another is available everywhere, jerks of the trade is in every MMO. If they aren’t bashing these newbs in the starting area they’ll bash them somewhere else. If you want to be helpful, great, be helpful guide them when they ask a question and don’t let those jerks be the only voice they hear. But let’s not pre-emptively decide for the larger population what they should and shouldn’t do with their time.

Why force individuals to craft?

in Crafting

Posted by: Keiel.7489

Keiel.7489

While I agree that there should be more ways to acquire Ascended gear. But I do remember the “olden” days of MMO, where crafting is useless and often times people ask the purpose of it. I haven’t played every MMO out there but have played quite a few, BiS had nearly nothing to do with crafting.

GW2 has it’s own system for both, you fight a diverse amount of enemies to get the materials you need for crafting the ascended gear. This requires both aspects of the game. While you can argue that there is nothing hard or challenging and it’s just a material farm, I’d like ot remind you it’s because GW2 has nothing epic or challenging PvE wise you can do to get that epic drop you need to craft with.

So sadly it’s just a grind and craft.

How do you win GW2?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Keiel.7489

Keiel.7489

Before online gaming, you beat the game when you beat the final boss. To extend it, you could say you need to have everything, unlocked every secret, beat every optional boss and such. Nothing left that appeals you to play the game again. This is also how I think it is for me for MMOs, including Guild Wars 2. I’ll beat it once there is nothing appeling left for me to do. I might not be able to make a “perfect save” as the old days since the game continues to grow, but if I outgrow what the Devs can come up with then the game becomes un appealing, it no longer have a play value. I have beaten the Devs, they have nothing new to offer me.

Shall I refer you to 90% of the player base?

Have you talked and discussed with them the merits of Berserker vs Everything else and have pretty much been ignored and or told off? Chances are the 90% is still going to stay 90% regardless of what anyone says and the 10% who are always looking to improve themselves will stay the same. If his wife is a lazy player she will ether jump go super tank and stay like that or just straight up give up playing. If she’s part of the 10% then it doesn’t matter what armor she starts in cause she’ll keep trying to improve. One option the man gets to play with his wife, the other she quits.

State of medium armor in WvW

in WvW

Posted by: Keiel.7489

Keiel.7489

Honestly it would be great if every class was viable for every situation with different speccs. But I don’t think that’s possible unless you make a very bland game. The Mediums have their own niche and I rather not see them get “buffed” to be viable or on par with the other classes, cause one of two things usually happens. 1. Another class will fall out of favor or 2. they become a carbon copy of another class, just a different title.

I see and hear a lot of complaints about this on the forums and in my Voip. But in the end someones always “but this class can also bring and has better…”. The Mediums, will always counter with how they can provide blank blank, and love their class can do blah blah and the other class can’t.

There’s a reason for that, and if they give your class everything that is good about the other class, they will ultimately have to take everything you love about your class away to “balance” things.

Is HS really all that's keeping War afloat?

in Warrior

Posted by: Keiel.7489

Keiel.7489

Sorry there are ignorant people on both side of the fence about HS. If we are basing it on 0 Healing Power and the fight last at 25sec or more HealSig will out heal HealSurge passively, but the healing isn’t that much better about 2k~ HP healed over 30 sec, which is HealSurg’s CD.

If you get bursted or focused, HealSurge would be better for survival, so long as you don’t get interrupted while casting it. Another weakness of Heal Surge is poison stackers (D/D thief auto chain for example), where heal surge you can be picky with when you use your heal, healsig can’t.

As for other conditions, you can’t compare them, they are not directly hindering your heal sig’s job. if you tak 2k damage from bleeds over 5 sec then heal sig have healed you about 2k damage over that same time. Instead of taking 4k damage.

Most of the issue is that most Heal Sig players also use other for of HP regen or shout heals, or simply just really tanky. If a skilled warrior swapped out his heal sig for heal surge, using the same spec. Chances are the fight won’t change too much unless you were fighting a Heal sig warrior and it came down to the last 1-2k HP.

dungeon selling isnt entirely wrong but you know theres a problem when all the posts are selling paths for arah

I see multiple Dusk up on the TP at 800g or more all the time. Doesn’t mean that’s the only way to get it nor is it the value of the weapon. Some will sell at that price but the reason you see so many of it listed is because it’s not being sold. This is the same as why you “only” see paths being sold vice more regular runs (at certain times). Plenty of people are willing to run it normally and the people who are selling paths sometimes have to wait a while to get a sale.

So yes, I see what you just did there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_equivalence

The dungeon pve community of so-called elitists don’t going around reporting people for champ train farming. We don’t go out of our way to troll the champ trains, or whatever other casual content farm there is.

So in all these forums, all of the complaints come from casuals?? I’m confused.

The anti-selling crowd maliciously plans and inflicts harm on the dungeon sellers in game. There is no opposite equivalent in the other direction, dungeon crowd maliciously griefing the casual scene, which is what my example showed. Your post where you switched the words around created a false equivalence as if the two positions were equally malignant. That is not correct.

Your being a tad dramatic, how does anyone maliciously affect your time in GW2, I was simply pointing out the argument could go the other way. (Ie isn’t the casual vs. hardcore argument getting old?) Are we not just gamming enthusiasts with different opinions?

I know exactly what you mean. One of my firsst few times running Arah, we wiped a few times on Lupi, 3 people decided that it was enough and left the group. So me and the other guy posted on LFG asking for an experienced player’s help. 3 People joined up after a few seconds. Then one of them typed something in /p “L2P noobs this dungeon isn’t for you” and another guy “Go watch a video and stop wasting everyone’s time *”. Beofre I could respond to tell them off, my screen changed to the cursed shores loading screen, found myself party-less. Needless to say I was very angry and oh yeah this story is totally made up.

Being primary WvW. When I swapped and did (still do) PvE for dungeon skins. I can tell you I was in your boat. However, 9 billion dungeons later all the dancing around and doing “neat” stuff gets boring. I just want to rush through it and get my tokens and get back with my life. For many other the dungeon is just a grind for whatever else they need, they do it so they can do other things or just pve more.

Also stop using Clerics, PvT, or cond gear in PvE. They all work, but “tank” gear promotes less active playing. I could do PvT banner regen warrior and eat almost ever bosses attack, but it’s going to take me like 9 years to kill a boss.

Ascended armor making dungeon armor obsolete

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Keiel.7489

Keiel.7489

I’m not a fan of making things significantly harder to earn. But if Ascended gear can be gotten through dungeons, dungeons would need a serious revamp. Most dungeons can be done trivially with exotic gear now, and there are less than a handfull of “hard” dungeons.

Ascended Armor is not significantly better than exotic gear. It is made for top min/maxers to sink their gold in, and for the casuals to slowly grind it out.

I’m all for getting Ascended in Dungeons, but it would have to be well planed with new armor models as incentive and some sort of gold sink(less than current craft sink but enough to not de-stablise the market).

Hammer no condition on auto?

in Warrior

Posted by: Keiel.7489

Keiel.7489

hammer aa 3 is an aoe. tadaam

I wish you read my original post… every weapon has a cleave which is a form of aoe, you can hit multiple targets in-front, i am talking about actual condition…

That’s not the point wether or not a weapon can hit multiple targets, it’s how many. Saying that it’s “all the same since every weapon can cleave” is like saying hitting 2 more target is neglible. If that is the logic than hitting 1 target is just as good as hitting 3 target (cleave) which is just as good as hitting 5 targets (AoE).

Fine, give it a condition like other weapons — and then also tame down its damage and CC abilities to be like other weapons.

Oh wait, nobody here wants that.

Why would they tone down the auto dmg lol, greatsword auto dmg is higher,axe auto dmg is higher, why am even trying….

Greatsword auto damage is not greater.
Greatsword chain: 0.7+0.7+0.9/2.4 = 0.9583~
Hammer chain: 0.9+0.9+1.2/2.75 = 1.090909~
Even with the vurln stacks, GS offers it still lower in output. The higher the coeficient the weapon has also makes it scale better with power, the damage potential for the hammer is greater in both damage per hit and damage per second.

Axe chain: 0.7+0.7+0.7+0.7+0.7+1.5/3.6=1.38~
The Axe is higher in damage per second and higher on damage per hit on that last hit of triple chop.

It’s potential for damage if it hit max amount of targets for all hits is 4.14DPS. Hammer’s max potential DPS if hitting 3 every hit and then 5 on the last hit would be 4.1454~.

You do know that the greatsword applies vulnerability which means increased dmg the more you auto attack, plus the 5 aoe hit the hammer 3 has is not worth since in team pvp you never fight more than 3 people at same spot and if you do its not that often

You can maintain about 6 stacks of vurln on the GS if you ONLY auto attacked. That’s 7.2 sec of you chasing and using 1, and then it’s still not as strong as the hammer as I have siad in my post. Do the math if you don’t believe me.

As for SPvP Axe will rarely out DPS hammer, simply cause people just dodge that obvious triple chop or any of the chops in the chain to break final hit. Where GS and Hammer damage is spread more evenly through the chain the Axe relies on that final hit for it’s large DPS increase. And without that last hit on triple chop, Axe is quite useless. The less numbers in SPvP is more of a disadvantage to axe than to hammer.

**note this is just taking damage coeficient base into account. In reality, Axe is a 1-handed weapon and therefore have a lower weapon strenght. In practice Axe and Hammer damage gap would be a bit closer if all attacks hits the same amount of target, and hammer would pull even frther ahead if it hit 5 targets.

Seems like the weak way out and no way to improve yourself skill wise if everytime there is a new challenge you just move to the lobby and change your traits to make a build specifically to counter a certain one.

Half of these people who talk sound like that one guy on voip who knows everything and if they lose it’s cause they lag, your build is better, their keyboard/mouse died, the wind was in your favor… ect.

I’m personally not a fan of pure zerker gear only because in a fight once people see how squishy you are you get autofocused immeditatetly. I am more a fan of pvt armor + zerker trinkets or zerker/knights to maximize your damage output, but still being fairly hardy. As others have mentioned there’s a lot of viable builds these days for the warrior, my personal favorite being shout builds w/ soldier runes since condition builds are still insanely popular.

PVT kind of sucks! If you are looking for more survivability you can go Full Valkyrie Armor with cavalier/zerk trinkets, get the same Vit/Toughness of PVT but you also get way better crit damage.

If you want more survivability, go full Valkyrie? What!? PVT sucks? What? Apparently, you do not operate with your warrior within the confines of a serious WvW guild, do ya? lmao…

Thank the heavens I don’t anymore, I couldn’t stand playing the lame Ham/SwWh x-x-30-30-x Soldier runes Shout build. Sure it is tough but it is some of the most boring game play I have ever seen. With my Valkerye Cavalier/Zerk I get good survivability with 21k health 1600 toughness (1800 with Doly Signet) but can also take advantage unsuspecting foe to the fullest by getting 60% crit damage just from the armor 90%. with weapons and traits. Even after patch me ES hits for 4-5K on squishy targets. It’s quite effective.

I don’t know. 1800 toughness with 21k health seems really squishy to me. I mean, yes you do great damage, but you’re a liability to everyone around you if/when you rally x amount of enemies on death.

Can I suggest something? How ‘bout Knights armor and soldier trinkets/weapons. Power runes as well. Even though I have no crit dmg bonus and 15% crit chance base, my power is stacked so friggin high it doesn’t even matter. When I do crit I still hit like a truck mind you. Self buffed power before might is around 2600 and I’m flaunting 3.3k armor and 31k hp.

PvT has it’s purpose, but as your guild gets more coordinated and skill level rises, you should move away from PvT and push more DPS. When you are on the ball with your movements and active defenses (including heals) then your priority should be hit harder. The Dynamic of PvP can’t be compared 1 to 1, but spiking harder and staying alive has it’s advantages over staying alive for a long time but your group suffers from not being able to kill the enemy fast enough. Such as giving them enough time to regroup and reinforce. There could be “other” classes doing the damage but if you all push the spike damage, why not? if all of you can survive in serkers, why would you chose PVT? The idea that PVT can “build” power is nonsense, any gear set can build power, but you are using a DPS model, pushing out stead damage, vice spike damage, which is king in PvP.

Just so you know, AoE and Melee Cleave hits a different number of target. So there is a difference.

Yes I will try Keiel lol, and thank you all for your input on this, I really appreciate it. I am now very excited to come home and start rocking people. I really want to make a GS/ eviscerate focused build, maybe even bursty hammer like Julie Yann mentioned. One more question though, is zerker gear viable in wv3 now? I mean it kinda was at release (not really) , but is it a real option now?

Serker is viable depending on what you do. One of my buddy roam with sekers, another run with our 15-25m group. Roamer used Mace+Shield/GS, S+WH/Hammer for 15-25m runs. The playstyle is pretty similar. Poke and run. In the S+WH/Hammer run most of hte guildies are running a bit squisher but it’s learning when to pull out and keeping healthy sometimes it means staying out of the melee group to get yourself together.

Boon Removal Trap (A way to punish zergs)

in WvW

I just don’t understand. WvW fighting is meant to promote zerg fights because that’s the type of PvP it is. If you want small scale, they have sPvP and an area to set up GvG. The options are there for people who don’t want to fight in a conquest/army style setting.

some of us prefer fighting in smaller scales, where you can actually use classes other than guardians, warriors, eles and necros and where skill is more than yealling stack and regrouping for water blasts . we also enjoy the challenge of fighting bigger numbers but in this game, bigger numbers have all the advantages and no downsides.

So basically you want to fight big numbers with small numbers and win, but not wit ha challenge, because you continually ask to make changes to give yourself an advantage over the bigger numbers or to “punish” them. I always thought the -challenge- part of the -zerg breaker- group is using what you have to beat the larger numbers. Not that I will complain if there are more options for me, but you aren’t really challenging yourself when you keep asking devs to even out the fight for you to make it fair. It’s actually making it less challenging because your guild is incappable of doing what you claim you love to do.
