The only difference is that in the case of warriors there are no false accusations. warriors are really OP

L2P noob. Make a warrior, play around with it. Find out what a warrior does by playing one yourself.

ok you called me noob. I have over 100+ tPvP wins with my warrior, of course it’s not the only class I can play but I am sure I have a better knowledge than you on how to play this class. How many tPvP did you have? How many tPvP did you played on your Warrior?
I am honest when I’m saying that this class is so overpowered compared to anyone else. I have my personal experience supporting me, I don’t play many hotjoins if not for a quick testing, so my knowledge comes from tPvP only and I can compare Warriors to at least Thieves, Necros, Rangers and Guardians since I usually switch between those classes when I play with my team, and I can assure you that the warrior is the most easiest faceroll class I have ever played. And in conclusion I am not just talking of that perma stun\regen build that everyone and his mother already knows, there are even more OP builds around than that one. I would say that the warrior is the most completed class reguarding viable tournament builds that can be made.
Now go back to play your PvE mate and thank you for remember me I am still noob compared to better and more experienced players, of course I am not talking of you.

If he has 200+ wins on his warrior in tPvP does it make his argument much stronger than yours?

Leamas.5803:

It’s not rocket science here, it’s about money. If they increased the max, less people would pay (real money) for bank expansions…it’s that simple.

People will full bank and character bag expansions (me) would also pay for this feature. I even made a Bank guild to store some of my mats that is overflowing, it’s not about having more storage, as I will always ind a way to store my excess needs, I just rather have a neat way to store all my stuff. If this were wnother game and add-ons were available that auto organised based on a set parameters and auto “stacked” my stuff, I would care less how messy my bank and backpack tabs are, but since there isn’t one, it would be awesome to have this feature offered by Anet.

Brando.1374:

for all out 1-2 hit burst D/D thief wins (will die if you look at him funny)
http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/thief/?7.0|8.5g.h2.8.5g.h14.d13.0.d13|5.5c.h4.d13.0.0|1g.7e.1g.7e.1g.7e.1g.7e.1g.7e.1g.7e|2s.d13.2s.d13.3s.d19.2s.d13.3s.d19.2s.d13|p49.u26c.0.0.f4|6f.1|58.5f.5h.5b.0|e

I would say close to this, but if you are just setting up for pure burst, I would say pick up Assassins Signet and the Prcision one. Take the 20% more damage while target is under 50% to really push damage after the backstab or to set up for a really nasty Backstab. Ether way D/D 25/30/0/0/15 is the best burst as far as class and set up will go. It requires little to no time to set up and the full bust is less than 2 seconds.

Feydra.6318:

lol BG, what happened on TCbl garri a few moments ago, its like 8 golems, we are barely that many defeding these hours, isent that abit of ower kill ?, ewen if we scrape all the bl and eternal, we cant match your zerg in numbers, so is the points so important lol, either way it was a good fast coordianted rush from your side, sad really you dident give us the chanse for a fight ;P

Everyone loves golems is why.

I haven’t played my thief in a while, but it’s because I want to play other classes. No matter how you dress up a thief is still a thief, the dynamic is still the same.

I’ll play the thief again when I get tired of my other classes.

I find it pathetic you have to BUY a vendor item to deal with thieves. They need like 2 classes with stealth detection skills.

If you are talking about the stealth trap, then I think that is the most ignorant thing I have ever seen. Stealth trap is intended more for large fights, where mesmer viel and Mass invis can change the tide of the battle. Using a stealth trap to fight a thief is nothing more than selfish and a waste, but if that is what you think is -required- to beat them, then go ahead.

No the issues is with thieves and how easy the move through WvW. And calling people ignorant is an easy way to start a fight. I would suggest you tone down you hostility.

What vendor item stops them or anyone from moving through WvW? your post makes no sense at all.

While I agree with the majority of your message your opening statement is untrue.

That isn’t the trend even if you poiint out a few instances of Anet complying to the loud minority because equally so they have done some things that contradict what the loud minorities have been whining about forever because they have their own system of seeing numbers.

I would react indifferently and wait for 3 or so % of the game’s population who cannot adapat or find it doesn’tsuit their playtype so will blow up the forums with rage threads. Another 1% will come out saying “I told you so” or “about time”. The minority of people will continue to ocmplain and possible enlist some of their buddies who probably didn’t care for the forums before to come and complain. We’ll see plenty of “ANET REVERT THE CHANGES OR YOUR GAME IS DOOMED” threads/post.

I get extremely angry and break my work computer’s monitor.

ZilentNight.5089:

Here is a summary of the facts from the last 2 weeks:

Week 1: BG and Sor ensured that they dont give JQ a fair fight and 2v1ed us but cudnt keep us too far behind. Then when BG realised that Sor is staying too close to comfort, they decided to back stab Sor and get them out. BG then decided that oh we cannot let JQ get 2nd place since Sor is easily manipulated lets help them once again and 2v1ed JQ in the last 2 days.

Week2: Sor started off strong but BG got serious and came back hard. Now Sor will take 2nd spot 2 weeks in a row. This put BG quite far ahead in the match ups as they have established that they can beat Sor 1v1. All they need to do is now to continue to beat Sor and then 2v1 JQ in the last week to get another win.

Sor grats on getting manipulated and then a nice hammer to the face during a 1v1 battle. You have dug your own grave.

TL;DR
JQ lost first week, and to feel better about myself I got to blame it on unfiar fights. been crying myself to sleep since, but today is a different day, I will not let this keep me down!

Probably something close to this build.

He can be near full PVT and/or PVC. Grandmaster trait in his Crit line gives him 100% critchance attacking from stealth.

Personally I don’t care who outnumbers who at what timezone as long as we get in good fights. I enjoyed the fights against BG last night in SoR BL. To me it’s always mroe fun to fight and win with less, but I understand population of a zerg is uncontrollable regardless of what anyone says. Not enough people will just “sit out” so it would be balanced, that’s like you saying “I love sitting in que because I definitely know everyone is having fun in WvW and the population in there is balanced. Man I love jumping aorund in LA!”

Since I’ve been back oceanic in SoR has never had that many. But usually BG didn’t outnumber us by this much. I’m not keen on guild movements between servers but oceanic numbers are pretty abysmal in comparison. Recently NA players have to stay up extra late to help or hold out till SEA/early NA time.

phaeris.7604:

I’ve come to the conclusion that all the people who used to play thieves, now play warriors. The blind defense I hear about Hammer and health regen being balanced and other people needing to L2P is exactly the same as when steal traited with ‘mug’ could hit for 6-8k damage, followed by backstabs for 12-16k.

Even a warrior admitted he thinks the warrior is opd at the moment, and other warriors claim it’s because he’s fighting baddies in his videos.

Hilarious.

Yeah, cause warrior were so unpopular before… One warrior claim it to be OP, it must be true and any hammer warrior who loses must be baddies. Your logic is flawless like a hammer warrior.

Looking at the map makes me sad :’(

Loosmaster.8263:

Yes, I guess they just gave it to me to click on it and see it on my buff bar for looks?

If that’s how you want to use it. Not me though, it seems like a wate using it like that.

Reimburse you on an item they gave you? Ok cool.

MagiKarp.8201:

I find this statement Ironic, “I don’t play much” “SoR has a small SEA force” right…

You’ve misquoted me to make a statement of some sort? I’m just stating my observations when I do get on to play.

Blade.3456:

You guys have just been picking the wrong maps perhaps? Haven’t seen XPK at all for… the last 2 weeks? (since that long-kitten bay engagement all that time ago) Maybe the odd 1-2 roamers?
You guys know we like to fight you, I’ll keep looking for you out there.

Good portion of XPK is taking a break, they might still get on now and then to play but probably nothing solid for a week or 4 before we get rolling again. Generally I jump around on the maps, it’s usually the same everywhere.

Cuddlepie.8109:

If you want to see what happened in OCX/SEA open field on reset with BG – obviously only on one map – then settle back and have a gander at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YkQGQPThIc

I also commanded SoRBL last night for a shortish period during OCX last night. I had about 5-8 KnT and 10-15 militia at various times, and we were deliberately trying to hold the 35-45 SoR force on the map so BG could cap elsewhere. This was part of the cross-map effort to make up for the PPT monstering we received on the weekend.

This did involve teasing the SoR zerg (at North SC, NW tower,. around NW ruins and outside Bay) and then WPing or withdrawing – while BG capped upgraded stuff on other BLs.

So it wasn’t so much a tactic to ’bore" SoR players into leaving the map, it was a strategy to hold SoR players unproductively on a map with the tantalising promise of easy wipes.

Weekends we do field quite a bit, but those are mostly Augments from our NA players. You can take what I said wit hmuch scrutiny if you like but that’s a fact. As for SoR last night, I was there. Maybe not during the time you held off 35-45 SoR with your numbers, but BG always had more if not even numbers. By the time I was able to log in BG had already taken all 3 keeps in their BLs and we pretty much just maintained what we can in SoR BL and even augmenting EB and TC BLs whenever the situation arises.

UnrepentantProcrastinator.7420

Lol… How can you play in that time zone and be that oblivious?

I have very limited play time on weekdays to play so some of these things takes me a while before I notice, normally I just assume BG is being hit elsewhere and that’s why they are moving.

I’ve only notice this pattern on the weekdays when SoR has to make decisions on where to put their small force. I mean if this is what they have to do to win the season then good on them I guess, but at this point I think I rather fight JQ.

PPT aside, and I can only speak for Oceanic/SEA time but WTF is up with BG just running away from fights?

Aside from us forcing the fight on you guys (in the keeps) every open field fight is pretty much you taking off in a different direction. The few that we do get it’s pretty much due to you having a wall or something to stand behind. I would’ve said you were waiting on superior numbers to attack, but even that’s not the case.

If your new tactic is to bore the few SoR players that we can muster up in Oceanic time to leave the map so you can PvD, it’s working pretty well.

PvE I’ve been using D/D+S/P. You can swap ether one for SB depending on situation.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fYAQRAoY8alUmKO3eS+E95Ex2jd2TeqzAnts/wVB-jUyAYrBRTUAJLwUhAl+KiGbboIasqFMVJRUt3oIa1SBExYA-w

Is my normal PvE build. I suggest having a Bloodlust stacking weapon in the back somewhere to stack bloodlust, but if you think you’ll get downed a lot it’s probably pointless. Sword-multi target trash and Dagger for single/boss fights is generally what I do.

Thieves utilities can be swapped out whenever really, none of it is really -required- in PvE but Smoke Screen is extremely useful in a lot of encounters if you lack a guardian that uses wall of reflection.

I’ve heard talks of it. But I don’t think it’s true, I’ve been in que with my buddy and sometimes it takes him 30min to get in and takes me 4 hours while we were in the same party. Sometimes where thereis low wue me and my girl would que in party and have the que popped at the same time, I think this is during low-medium pop time and the que just happened to increasse pop cap and we didn’t actually jump anyone in line.

I would say do a bit of research first on what you want to try. I know when I first started I want to MAX DPS, while that is very viable I suggest you do a more defensive build (whatever class you might be). I good place to look is in the GW2 Class Forums, generally people there are pretty helpful aside from a few who browse other people’s class to complain and gripe about them. Then I would take a few minutes to read through http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Equipment_acquisition_by_stats and figure the best course to get your armor/gear you need, like if I needed PVT (Power, Toughness, Vitality) gear I might run Sorrwos Embrace, Ascolonian Catacombs, and Honor of the Waves (whichever is easiet to you first then move up) and maybe buy a few pieces of Karma PVT gear so you can have some dungeon tokens for the weapons. This way instead of taking 10 days to get all the gear from one dungeon you can get it in maybe 3-4 days (obviously it all depends on how much time you have to play).

Also I used PVT as an example, I don’t recomend to ever go THAT tanky in a dungeon. Before you do run though, be curteous enough to buy level 80 yellows of the same type of gear you are looking to build upon. They are extremely cheap compared to their exotic counter part and is about 10% less in stats, you will die less and contribute more than being in Greens/Blues. While most dungeon people will tolerate lower skilled/geared players (elitist are a small minorty but they do exist) it would be nice if they didn’t have to literally carry you through the whole dungeon.

This is pretty funny. I’m sure Anet will fix it soon. You should thank all the exploiters for funding Anet.

I think it depends on if you run in a guild composition or just pug your groups. If your guild has a Guardian (better shoutter than warriors) then go with whatever. If Warriors in your guild is the primary condition remover than go with soldiers, Melandru is more of a “selfish” rune.

In our current guild composition our warriors don’t use Mel or Soldiers, Guardians do most of the cleansing and Warriors actually have a tons of condition removal/reduction without the need for Melandru or Soldiers.

I would go with Hoelbrak for more offensive or even travellers if you are bigg ballin’.

JasonP.4028:

The more Options I can have in a game the better, that said Anet has shown a disturbing lack of balance or intrest in balancing the weapon sets and character builds,

balance the weapon+stat builds that no one uses first then id care more about wanting to add new weapons other wise it will just add more useless weapon builds to a stack of already fail builds that should be amazing

This has nothing to do with new sets. There is always a least disreable weapon set and when it’s “boosted” there will be another bottom of the barrel weapon. I’d like to see more weapons in general for all classes.

I don’t support this post at all. step in WvW, get ready to get punched in the face.

DeWolfe.2174:

Those hour plus Garri/SM lord’s room fight’s are some of favorite times in WvW. Yes, let’s make it easier to flip things so it’s like PvDoor.

Honestly I do enjoy it, but I think if Anet fixes the lag issue, the fights would also end much quicker as one side or the other will wipe the other faster than they can reinforce, since the lag affects skill more than movement.

Hofulu.7325:

If for some reason, Arena Net can’t actually implement account bound ranks for a good reason, why don’t they say that?

Why don’t they say that they are aware people want it.
Why don’t they say that they are aware people do not like soulbound ranks and WxP?
Why don’t they say that they are aware?
Why don’t they even say that it is a difficult thing to implement, and like Guild Halls, they don’t want to do it until they find a way to do it that they really like.
Why don’t they say anything?
Why are they completely silent on the issue?

As others have posted you are incorrect. Also Anet has made statements on most if not all the things you’ve asked. Just not in ever thread, just beacause players feel the need to start a thread up every few hours about the same thing doesn’t mean Anet needs to repeat themselves.

LOL, guild to guild? we are like 10 active players at any given time, you have 40+ on any given map every day. I guess that proves how you like to win, big bully when you have numbers, otherwise when you lose, your excuse was, “i wasn’t there.” Okay, I guess you would have made the difference, pfff, the ego is strong in this one. LOL

What an odd thing for you to say- aren’t you from that guild that runs away whenever
a) you don’t outnumber someone at least 4:1
b) someone actually turns around and fights back

Hilarious >:D

No, what’s hilarious is whatever scrub guild your in getting wrecked by our small man over and over. I’m sure you know first hand.

LMAO,

All aboard!!!

Imagination land is you IRON scrubs thinking you’re any good in pvp. Every time we face you with even numbers you get wrecked. You clowns need to stick to zerging.

First person that I can actually feel the anger seething through their words on the internets. Amazing.

kitten is.3581:

Why so much crying for this? could you people try to have some fun in www for once in a while?

nothing is more fun than intence 3 way fight in garri (especially if ur the 1 in lords circle)

but as few ppl have already said, if it takes over hour just becose warriors keep bannering it all the time then ur doing it wrong…
and if its 3 way fight (then theres alot of skill lag) how its possible u can only cast 1 spell every 10sec while warrior can use 6 of hes in 5 sec? makes one wonder…

There is a minor trait in the Defense line of the Warrior, Lag Resistance, that makes Warriors immune to lag. Anet clearly favors Warriors.

Jet.4795:

Miss this matchup already.

BG misses yoou guys too.

Visiroth.5914:

What is the point of complaining about this now? After the initial outcry against ascended gear, they put it into the game and are rolling it out in even more slots. Every argument that could possibly have been made has already been made, at this point there’s zero chance that they’re gonna remove it from WvW.

Someone probably just decided to make an alt or change specs. Looked in their wallet and realize they don’t have all the proper currencies to get the ascended pieces they need. This obviously made the game imbalanced for them because everyone else has ascended in every slot on the only character they will ever play.

I hope you realize you are in the wrong tier if you want to chest thump about being a roamer~ It’s about as funny as a tier 8 guild bragging about full capping an empty EB during the off hours lol

He’s in the right tier for it, he knows more people here runs group oriented spec and has more targets he can use to grow his kitten with.

Dark Catalyst.1028:

hahaha, just wait until the devs increase the ascended mat drops from WvW as they’ve promised to do.

That’ll really bring the mindless little mat/chieve zerglings into your game mode, eh?

Probably not in T1 servers, we don’t just give up towers/keeps/SMC for the sake of reclaiming it. Aside from the Karma train once the match is decided of course, but that’s a friday thing.

Even when I was playing in T7 people claim spies on every server every match. They also claim intentional double teaming on every server, every match.

It’s getting so old, cause if we believed in every claim then everyone is equally getting double teamed and spied on every week, it evens itself out.

its a “remove the aoe cap” thread… dressed up like a ghost for halloween, using a bedsheet with holes for eyes.

ooooo spooky

It actually hsa nothing to do with removing the AoE cap. What he suggested is that the AoE, still 5 limit, would also target friendlies, allowing for friendly fire.

oh my bad, “friendly fire” threads are new and interesting.

…cuz friendly fire is such a good idea in a game that encourages grouping with friends…

its a “increase group size” post… dressed up like a ghost for halloween, using a bedsheet with holes for eyes.

I cannot stand the way MMO’s introduce carrots in the form of so called content these days. WvW in and of itself has not changed, but the introduction of these achievements has turned me off big time. I really wish ANet would introduce true content changes instead of tossing carrots around for us to chase.

Seems this is the only formula MMO’s know these days, carrots, carrots, and more carrots. But the real problem is there are too many MMO players out there who are willing to chase them.

Then don’t follow the carrot. Weather the carrot was introduce or not if you played the way you’ve always has it shouldn’t matter. Sounds like you’re just another carrot chaser who got overwhelmed.

Omne.4603:

I’m quite serious, about what i’ve posted. If others have suggestions they feel that are better i’d like to hear their ideas also.

In that case I would say keep them up is better than bringing them up from the downed state. I say we should add in “Together We Stand” Mastery. It only activates when you are within proximity of others who have the Mastery and tears.

Tear 1: Grants stability as long as there are 4 with the Mastery. 300yd radius.
Tear 2: Grants protection when you have 80% or less health and 4 others are around you wit the mastery and tier. 300yd Radius.
Tear 3: Boons are shared. If one person gets the boon it replicates itself with everyone who has this tear unlocked. Radius 300. No max targets.
Tear 4: Power and condition damage is increased by 10 for each other person with this tier unlocked. Radius 600.
Tear 5: Damage is now even distributed amongs everyone with this tear unlocked by percentage of damage recieved (everyone will take damage based the damage dealt and their max HP, that way if one person dies, everyone dies together). Radius 600.

To help out as these are newbies we will only require a total of 40 WvW rank points to unlock T5. Players who already have WvW Rank of 40 or more before the season started cannot spec into this Mastery.

Bhima.9518:

Keiel.7489:

Except if you look at that site again and see that whenever a Ascended Weapon is placed in the main hand it adds an aditional 5% damage (on top of the Sigil of Force). I took a quick look around the site to see if there was a reasoning on it, but didn’t find it.

Assuming that the 5% is calculated erroneously I swapped the sigil of force for the healing stack sigil. And I got a EP of 6933.5 (6.4% power increase) which is slightly higher than my projected .76% per piece, but as I have stated that CritD conversion is odd when it comes to stat calculations because not ever piece of gear trades crit D for the same amount of stats. In the case of Ascended trinkets the stat trade off is slightly better for every piece.

True statement on the crit D with trinkets, but at the end of the day, this was your conclusion and its, unfortunately wrong:
“When Ascended armor comes into play the most anyone will have an advantage over another is 10% if you are looking at Ascended vs Exotics.”
If we are to believe gw2buildcraft, then its already 11% and will most likely go higher once we add in armor

It might but I still stand to say that there is that extra 5% damage increase is a bug and not intended as it only shows up when you have it as the primary weapon set. Looking at the front page of that site it looks like the owner is on a break of some sort but until its determined I wouldn’t say the 11% in concrete. I’m no math major but there should be no reason those stats should add up too 11%EP even with full zerker and the wonky CritD conversions.

Omne.4603:

many players who are not prepared for the state of gameplay…

… should either not join WvW until they are prepared, or stop complaining and admit that it is their responsibility to get their kitten together, not Anet’s to guide them by hand.

Yeah, cause when I joined WvW I was totally prepared and knew everything there was to know about WvW even though I had no prior experience. Reading post and watching video’s can only do so much. But you need to chill out ether way, I’m pretty sure this is a joke post.

My alternative is Eve.
