Here we go again. Every two weeks or so someone will post something along the lines of what you did in this particular subforum. I suggest you go read up guides, watch some on youtube, get better, and come back. Chances are, in a month or two you’ll be laughing at how easy AC.
I am interested in this. Do you need the exotic gear to be beserker’s? Also, are there any class requirements?
sorry but trash talk comes with competition. if you cant stand the heat get out of the kitchen
Look at the arrogance and ego embodied in this post. Why should I respect the “top” players who hold such a conceited and impolite view of things?
Also, if “attacking an opponent’s theory” is a form of trash talking, Socrates must have been the biggest “trash talker” that ever lived.
You mean that you can run Path 4 in 30 minutes? Hats off to you sir.
More like it has been discussed to death in the past and everyone is bored of seeing the same arguments over and over again.
One question: If I don’t invite the guy after I get the gold, I get away with it right? Theoretically, this is a gray market here, and there would be no support from Anet if someone cries to the devs that I was “selling dungeon slots”.
I can’t wait for this scenario to happen and the whole spot selling operation falls apart.
Well, I have a flame legion set in PvE, should I be able to transfer it into PvP then? I don’t think so, considering how difficult it is to obtain flame legion weapons and armor in PvP and how easy it is to run CoF 1,2 repeatedly. I would be alright with obtaining skins through transfer only if they completely revamp the system of how PvP skins are obtained,
Since we’re on the subject of infusions, can somebody explain to me the use of offensive infusions? The cost of making such an infusion seems too high for its’ benefits. For example the Malign Infusion grants +5 condition damage, and +5 agony resistance, but requires a huge amount of materials to make. While a versatile simple infusion gives you the same agony resist without the negligible condition damage for 75 fractal pieces. Why would I choose an offensive or defensive infusion if I can easily buy one from Deesa?
/wiki “Mystic Forge” in your chat.
Goblin, I’ve been trying to play your playstyle, but it never works out for me. Can I ask for some advice on when and how to use beserker’s stance correctly? At what times is it safe to use it for the “hundred bleeds” off flurry?
Also, how do you deal with using the shield dash against people? I find it wildly inaccurate and difficult to control when there are multiple opponents on the field. The same goes with bull rush.
Also, I have difficulty using endure pain correctly. Whenever I use it, conditions go right through it, and not having any natural condition removers besides my runes of lyssa, how do you deal with conditions being stacked on you aside from raising a shield?
I’ve been trying a similar one in spvp but I went 0/30/0/10/0, with a larger emphasis on longbow damage, taking Fear Me, Signet of Fury, Balanced Stance as utilities instead. Also, I use mace offhand.
The reason for this is that I tried using shield first, and trying to combo the shield dash with the sword burst skill is incredibly difficult as the stun time is only one second. Furthermore, it is liable to miss and is single target only. The stun from mace is much more reliable, stuns for longer, making it a better setup for your sword burst.
The idea of the build is to keep as much adrenaline as possible by popping Healing Surge, Signet of Fury at the right times. Also, by taking 30 in discipline, you get access to Adrenal Reserves which ensure you have at least one bar of adrenaline to use.
I took Signet of Rage’s 20% reduced cooldown because it is very easily abusable with Runes of Lyssa. You get a full reset every 48 seconds and near permanent fury/might. Also, increased precision also helps when I have Furious, making my critical hits gain adrenaline.
Overall, I think the build works very well together, but needs very careful management of adrenaline and not throw it on the longbow burst as and when one likes. Also dies to necros/condition damage very easily.
Oh they can win and go up, if that happens, it means they were supposed to be in that tier in the first place. They would have to keep winning to maintain their position, or else drop down again, and possibly rise again, proving that particular server tier might just be
right for them.
- possessive personality disorder
- No one can transfer a character to this server type, and if you create a toon on this server type you can not create toons on the other server types (unless you delete all toons on the FFA server)
- hand holding PVE server
- Post WoW MMO players that are pretty much ex-console players that made the jump to PC/Mac gaming and needed instant glorification or they would just quit and cry like they did when they played console games with there friends.
- Oh and you sir are a complete pu…sorry I called you sir,Ma’am

- babying the players

This is a selection of comments from the pro-ffa people in this thread. Having played for years on FFA and PvP servers all the while lamenting the popultion dearth, I can tell you that these comments are indicative of the majority of players that want such playtypes and are the reason that so many are against it.
To put it bluntly, the PvP servers always ends up being dominated by kittens, braggards and pseudo-bullies whose actions and demeanor actively discourage an influx of new players while simultaneously wearing away the resolve of any pvper not in the above categories.
I was about to do the same thing and quote all that too, bravo to you.
I actually read through the whole thing and it was full of rubbish.
The author’s focus is spread all over the place making the entire thing messy and difficult to read. Furthermore, the attempt to link preparation, execution and pacing is weak. The difference between strategy and tactics not explained well, and pacing is thrown in as an afterthought.
The meta is stale because bunkers are too strong making the game boring to watch, so everyone uses the same strategy.
In one sentence I have managed to summarize the unnecessarily tedious “essay”. Hardly an original idea to lay claim to either.
Worst of all, the suggestions lack important specifics. I hardly have any idea what would not count as “gimmicky secondary mechanics” if people decide that not fighting for 2/3 of the time is a good idea, nor do I have any information what “sense of escalation” means. Poorly articulated and overly wordy.
Thank you for your hard work on the videos, I found them very useful.
Nope, I have zero issues with the separation right now. I don’t want Spvp stuff coming into PvE, nor WvW. Getting to 80 and full exotics is significantly easier than getting to a high level in Spvp already.
It seems that the moral of this thread is that the facts end where my feelings begin.
“I have no proof of them using macros, "
I think you would need some evidence first.
What exactly are you talking about?
Not really, I remember reading a thread about someone with 10k+ points.
So basically, trying to diversify and find ways to work around what is commonly accepted is not a good thing? No wonder people say that the “meta” or whatever fancy alternative name for “gameplay” nowadays is stale.
Well certainly, the only people whom this will hurt will be the people who trade said item regularly. I am betting that the people who are going to want to sell immediately have a low supply and just want to get a few pieces of silver quick. They will not amount for much of the competition against me.
I am also betting that the serious traders who are trading at as great a loss as me and have great supply are in the minority, and will hold their supply before cutting my 20s by one copper. They will also be unlikely to do it again as in the long run, they will likely adhere to Lumures’ logic.
No really, someone else will simply undercut me by 1c. If I undercut by 20s, they have to think twice before doing so. Do they want to take the loss, or do they want to undercut me? Or they could buy me out, which I want, faster sells, higher return on my investment.
I’m a mesmer who’s always looking out for new builds, so I thought I might give some of my opinions on this one.
The first build looks promising, I haven’t seen how celestial + divinity works since I have only worked with divinity runes only, but seems rather gimped by the very wide spread of stats and extremely strange weapon choices.
With that setup, you’re going into battle knowingly that you will be inferior to traditional 2handed mesmers with greatsword and staff. Why would I choose this build over a traditional mesmer build? Swapping decoy for blink isn’t really that special, focus is inferior to greatsword as a hard knockdown, and your spikes are weakened by slow clone generation. How do you handle this kind of situation?
The second build I have tried a variation of briefly before I saw you post on the forums, but it still seems strange to me. Why use Sigil of Fire? With 30% critchance, you barely have 9% to crit, so you would have to go through three cycles of your sword on average before it connects. Would it be better if it was swapped for something else? Also, if you are going for sustain, why not Runes of Lyssa if you’re going for Mass Invisibility as your ultimate? As the ulti with the shortest cooldown, you can gain more precision and reset your health/conditions when you go mass invis, giving you more survivability.
I like the idea of constant chaos armor/protection, but this build lacks the condition damage to give it strength. Also, illusionary membrane only gives protection on a 15 second cooldown now, so it has been severely weakened.
I’m glad you’re not in charge, your suggestions do not sit well with me.
I was hoping to see some quantitative analysis with real and actual data on how MF negatively affects dungeons runs, but as usual, I have to be disappointed. The anti-mf crowd pulls anecdotes, stories instead of numbers.
Someone attempted to jack up the prices of moldy bags but realized that his asking price was too high.
I don’t understand, the Skritt areas in WvW are filled with bags of these things and nobody farms them.
Meta? What meta?
Alright, I give up. I honestly had no idea the people in this game were so terrified of being identified. Are you people really so fragile that the thought of receiving a single rude whisper before you can block someone frightens you so? Knowing that would be an absolute rarity and the person is now stranded for 7 days?
How.. Sad. Forget the suggestion, people are content to hide.
Typical rude and abrasive response when such suggestions are not going in OP’s favor. If you bothered to search, you would have seen many suggestions like this, with the OP making similar comments to you when a number of posters are against them.
No. I actually like having 8v8 on top.
So somehow when Joe the Plumber wants to buy doubloons for his legendary, and finds the cost jacked up to ridiculous heights, that’s beneficial to him?
Could you please elaborate on 3 and 4? Why is it bad to undercut someone more than 1c?
I would laugh if the solution was to give everyone a karka bag of loot without the good drop rate of the chest. People hoping to get a precursor out of this are aiming a little too high.
I would absolutely love to go around the mists and tell people not to play spvp if they didn’t like the unbalance in the game. It really helps my cause.
Life is about making choices. You have to choose to cheat and I have dropped a pug on more than one occasion because they wanted to take ridiculous shortcuts.
I guess that’s why so many people DC in fractals then.
Pardon my ignorance, but where are you getting this information from?
I think this is a good cosmetic change.
I’m quite sure that Jinks is very right that it takes more personal skill in wvw than in spvp and it is not just another opinion.
That’s funny, because what you are asking for is exactly what the a duel system would look like.
He does not drop the silver.
If I were very rich, all I would need to do is to show off the highest amount of gold I had at one time in a screenie. Unfortunately, I am not. Most of this thread seems to center around methods which can only be achieved with the use of a large amount of gold. What I would like to ask is whether there are any methods which do not require a large amount of capital to begin with and yet can be worth the user’s time.
I think it’s terrible to have some anti-social thief sneak up on me and kill me so he can /dance over my body.
Legendary weapons have always been slightly better weapon damage wise than their exotic counter parts. So no, legendaries are not the same as exotics. Rings and back are par for the course, slightly better, no real advantage.
That’s incorrect as I remember it. Legendaries shared the same stats as exotics before they chucked the manifesto into the bin.
He still isn’t worth the trouble and risk of wasting time/repairs/wipe for me.
You need to make a decision in stat tradeoff. You can’t have your pie and eat it.
I do not understand why you are so easily influenced by other people’s opinions. If the game is good enough for you, go ahead and play it.
I am also of the belief that people have the right to their opinions, and the right to express them freely, even if they run contrary to yours.
LoL isn’t balanced, and it isn’t dead like GW2 pvp is. Weird, huh?
Somehow, I feel that OP is alternating between a badly written post with very little reasoning, or a deliberate troll. I would edge towards the former considering that as people have pointed out, LoL, Dota, violate the points that he has made and are wildly successful. Yet, the only point he has against that is that such games “would be better” if they did without. I question the soundness of this logic. OP has give no evidence to support his cause either.
I would imagine that it has something to do with the pool of people doing story mode eventually drying up.
