Guild Wars 2

like best support class is guardian, what is best dueling class that pwns every 1vs1? (except dueling same class as him/her)

MOBA type gamemode plz

Hi.
I have only 1 break stun utility but have no stability (I run shout warrior)
Engis who got into stealth mode and try to pull me into hole of the hell have 100% success of doing this troll in skyhammer.

Due to their stealth, whenever bunkering or capping home/far points I cannot even figure out when they would come to far/home point to do that pulling … and as you know becuz of wall and pillar of home/far point of skyhammer, we cannot see who is coming to home/far if we are there. And I found breakstunning it while being pulled always fails, it worked after getting pulled already (=same means as I am falling to hell already in air)

How to deal with them?

Is there any visual aspect that I can see while their pulling preparation even though they are in stealth so probably i could uses “fear me” to counterattack as soon as I see that?

I hate too. this map engis abuses too much

yes! plz bring Capricon into soloQ instead of skyhammer. underwater combat > trollhammer

honestly weapon skills themselves have no cond dmg, it just rely on virtue of justice for only way of applying cond dmg however virtue of justice’s burning dmg is too weak as compared to warrior (both active and passive and long long cooltime)

and seriously we have no fury except only 3 sec like for meditation build. in pvp save yourself’s boon duration is nerfed and it’s cooltime is like 48sec so it wouldn’t be considered as having a properly working fury though.

Hi.
Just wonder if there is a top100 guy playing DPS guardian mainly?
but there is condition described below cuz I don’t admit people with full of luck as top100.
I do not care soloQ or teamQ. if there is, just tell me plz~

Condition:
1. He/she must play at least 5 rounds per a week, or more.
2. He/she must have had more than 100 rounds.
3. He/she must keep him/herself within top100 more than few weeks.

I just afk. I don’t main decap engi / mesmer / fear necro etc.

I have better things to do. Like check my email. Clip my nails. Stair at the one painting on my wall. Flip on my television and see if there is anything good on the one channel I get. Browse imgur. Go pee. Browse forums. Get a snack.

honestly fear necro is rather fine than engis cuz we have like 1 sec to break stun it immediately before falling down. however engi’s stealth+pulling does not even give me like 0.5 sec to evade or breakstun it, and it was unblockable, therefore i just got pulled directly into hole, which takes only 0.5 sec like.. I can’t even figure out when it starts cuz they get closer to us in stealth mode and, for skyhammer map we can’t see who is coming to home/far point if we are there cuz there is wall/pillar. In conclusion, it is just freaking abuse.

no i changed my mind. just provide me THE ENGI BUILD THAT IS TOTALLY DESIGNED FOR SKYHAMMER plz

it seem now every1 changes to engi for that map only. we got matched against team with 3 engis, while we have none, they all simply got into stealth mode then pulling us into hole and guess what? score was like 500:50 as a result jesus

ok. i will afk this map but anyway, who changed the topic title from “The best build & class for stupid skyhammer?” to “The best build & class for skyhammer?”? probly Anet did it lol..

I got tired of talking anet about removing skyhammer from soloQ , so decided to just play the best working build and class ONLY FOR skyhammer.

I guess engi works the best, but build? any1 know skyhammer ONLY build? link plz..
it should have stealth, pulling, stability i guess though

why?
there isn’t guardian who are within top1~10 of pvp leaderboard.
There are thief, ele, warrior, engi and etc with many different builds even for same class…. but no guardian.

Yeah I am top10 guy in soloQ but i archived it with my warrior, not guardian.

Yes, some of them might run multiclass who use guardian as well, however, that is only bunker build. why? other builds are very bad.

quick improvement is really in need.

to activate more builds for guardian, anet should do..
1. retaliation, which is guardian’s main boost, should be calculated as “powert + cond dmg”
2. should put cond dmg into weapon skills just like warrior.
3. making zealot amulet will bring out new build like dps supportive guardian.
4. very much lack in mobility. absolutely need basic speed boost just like warrior’s battle signet. if you mention shout’s retreat, comeon, who would use that in pvp? mobility should be gained as fundamental like warrior.
5. more of guardian’s shout skills should grant fury as well. why warrior’s elite skill battle signet gives 39sec of fury all the time while we have like none except meditation’s fury?
6. virtue of justice should grant fury.
7. nuff for Selfless Daring should be returned. (pvp mode) why? warrior dodge roll with berserker amulet can dmg upto maximum 1600. while we have cleric amulet, we only heal 700? we are healing less than only half of this 1600. at least it should be 1000. but remember, i calculated this based on cleric amulet. and we all guardian dont use only cleric amulet absolutely. so nuff should be deleted.

anyway, again, there isn’t top10 guy who is mainly playing guardian. so it simply means guardian is bad so people just dont play. people are smart so they just know. improvement is in really need.

Seras.5702:

You’re forgetting Virtue of Justice. Also, there are plenty of traits like Radiant Fire and Defender’s Flame that increase the amount of burning you can maintain. Rock a mace/focus and you’ll be proccing DF quite a bit.

ok. here is my opinion.
Virtue of justice is fine, but,

who use that radiant fire and defender’s flame?
should we all use torch only for radiant fire?
is there perma block skill for guardian? it’s only 1sec block or 3sec block per 90sec like. you really can;t say you dmg them well with its interval. no kidding me lol

they should put more cond dmg into weapon skills just like warrior, that’s my opinion.

Like I told anet always. Guardian except bunker is useless(in pvp situation) really. dps guardian can’t dps as much as that kinda ele or warrior does, nor healing as ele. gg

From my point of view, it lacks in range. so not good build i mean. if it is wvw, range attack is more in need.

Seras.5702:

I’ve often thought this too. Every other profession has better access to a wider variety of conditions than Guardian. Burning is obviously very strong on Guardian, and can be maintained 100% with proper traiting. And Retaliation can be procced often, though its effectiveness is hampered in a condition build, considering it scales from power (unless you invest 6 in Radiance for Radiant Retaliation).

At the least Guardian needs some ways to proc bleeds, if only to add some pressure and cover conditions. Without sigils though, it doesn’t happen. If you want a condition spec, it’s almost mandatory to heave sigils of Doom and Torment or Earth.

Yeah. most people use meditation or shout build. meditation’s teleport skill only offers burn for every 45 seconds cooltime, and shout gives no burn. so even though guardian has the most burning skills but they are available as skills set that almost no one uses, spirit weapons or Consecration.

Ghotistyx.6942:

The balance team is way ahead of you. This past April 15th -ish they added a trait called radiant retaliation. This trait let’s you use condition damage instead of power at a better scaling rate. You’ll only need 924 condition damage to out pace power, so go out there and build a retal condi guard! I believe in you.

if anet balance team is way ahead of me, then why no one use guardian except bunker build in pvp tourney? and man, radiant retaliation is trash skill. just set settler amulet and compare its dmg to power set gear. akmost no difference. i wonder why it is even created as we should put all 3 points into radiance, which is a lot just to activate it.

not just power, i think power + cond dmg should be added into its formula………………
currently celestial amulet for guardian has no effect and no improvement cuz of not many cond skills for guardian.
do something balance team, do something plz!

Ok. Guardian has only fire dmg triggered by virtue of justice. so what I mean? celestial amulet for guardian seem like wasteful cuz of having only virtue of justice.
I guess anet should put condtion dmg into weapon skills as well, just like warrior.

or replace retaliation;s intensity by its power with its Cond Dmg.

I really really need MOBA type game mode that takes at least 30min up to 1hour+ for one match.

Current 10~15min match is just too short, I don’t even feel like I am well satisfied even though I won the match…. anyway I gonna be junglerrrr kkkk

MOBA Type map that takes at least 20min upto 1hour+ for one match unless either one of team resigns. more reward absolutely becuz it takes more time than current capture the points type game.

I think it was lich form, not death shroud. do they get stun or knockdown while in lich form? also how to deal with lich form nec with cond war build?

Jekkt.6045:

hammer, necros dont have any stability.

do they get stun or knockdown from my hammer while his transformation?

Hi.
I run cond war with pretty high toughness but I take too much direct dmg from power nec when power nec throw someting to me while his transformation (idk what it is but his body color look green when he transformed) it is just too much direct dmg even though i got toughness like 3400.

and his transformation time take too long before he gets back to his original look.

Which weapon would be good to deal with them for warrior if cond war cant get them?
Thxx

Thx Finite and Celtus.8456 for tips! I will always notice your words ^^

Any1 knows which class they are, or if you know, what builds they run?

Hi.

Any1 know how to show ally’s hp right on his character’s head just like enemy’s hp? i have to heal that guy but can’t find where he is exactly around me -_-
simple ally info UI is bad so..

NevirSayDie.6235:

Sounds like you’re running essentially a pure bunker setup. Since you have very little direct damage, and only bleeding and burning as condition damage, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to take him down through his sustain. You can easily stalemate him by dodging key grenades and not spending too much time in melee range.

Even as a pure bunker, you won’t be able to facetank/cleanse/heal through all damage. You’ll need to dodge key skills such as freeze grenade and poison grenade, and kite to avoid turret knockbacks and make grenades harder to land.

Remember, you don’t need to stand in the capture point all the time. If the engineer comes in to decap it, drop combustion shot on the point to try to pressure him off. As long as the engineer isn’t on the point, you don’t need to be, either. Standing in one place makes grenades too easy to land.

Hi do you know the best weapon type of warrior that can pwn those kinda engis easily?

Hi. I run supportive cond war (cuz I use warhorn as secondray, not sword that applies torment)

Well, I just can’t win only even one time against cond or decap engi.
Is there a way? They throw too much grenades and bombs so I just cant get closer. If I get closer to apply sword elite skill, I get too much conds and physical dmg as well. with cleasing ire and warhorn’s cond removal skills it wasnt enough to endure their incoming dmg and cond.

tell me advice plzz
Should I change weapon?

I guess just killing everybody in open world area isnt that fun. just implementing moab type gamemode would be lot more fun!!

man we all equally get this kind of situation, so no prob actually. if they update like you say every1 will be leaving if round seem losing GG

I must consider his tip cuz here whom we see is NA best thief!
Thx for tips ^^

Real good PvPers usually don’t even blame others like him. so just ignore

Rezz.8019:

Kitt.2567:

I would say situation depends all on it. sometimes it is good to just sit on home.

Yes, if you are confident that your team will win the teamfight in mid/far then you should definitely just stay home. Most people lose matches because they keep getting home decapped.

Yeah. So sitting on homepoint all the time definitely means a dumb one. lol

I would say situation depends all on it. sometimes it is good to just sit on home.

sPvP Solo leaderboards – NA

Rank Username Character Wins Loses Wins % Server
3 lollztrollz.6241 Ele Is Kill 5 8 38.46 Jade Quarry

I always believed in that SoloQ is much more fair and equal to determine how much you, only a person, are skilled individually than teamQ simply becuz we all equally get random people at every rounds, which is not like teamQ allowing you to play with your familiar people. Anyways I do not have many good friends to play with and soloQ allows me to go higher leaderboard rank without good friends but with random people, therefore I always more focus on soloQ than teamQ.

But.. the ranking system seem like super fail. how this happens??

Can any1 explain this? lol

1. make “Esport” category on hompage’s main menu, list leaderboard there, and etc.
2. Separate PvP content from Guildwars 2 mmo, then Release Guildwars 2 PvP edition, which is Free to play with in-game shop.
3. Make a capability gap between pvp rank. higher pvp rank will be little bit stronger than people who are less than his rank.
4. Make many game modes, including current popular MOBA type game mode.
5. Reward people based on their pvp leaderboard ranks.
6. Remove hot-join, so every1 will be on leaderboard and play ranking games.
7. No Dueling arena. it’s useless. Dueling is only successful content for RTS or 1vs1 fight genre games.
8. Remove Hotm, but just make it easy to play pvp games from windows background.
9. Allows us select 1 base class, to play more classes then payment is in need. just like you pay characters in LoL.
10. Bring back glory as currency and the system “more rank to get more armor skins”.

Hi. I just wonder which year would Guildwars 3 be released in?
Just expectation is fine though.

2020?

esports games, except very well known games like Startcraft or Warcraft, are mostly free to play. But we already paid this game. GG

Yeah. for Esport, frankly, go play Starcraft 2 or LoL man. simply becuz this game has been KNOWN as MMORPG. If they wanted this game put into esport they had to make another pvp game package like “GuildWars PvP edition” with all build premade characters like LoL and free to play.

Cool, would you wanna try Dark Souls 2? lol

Oh yeah, but sword itself is strong enough without trait set like warhorn. so no balance. And also, even with that it takes time to convert so being damaged until doing that anyway. (also cannot remove stupid torment correctly cuz they keep applying conds) Torment and bleeing converted into boon are NOT even regeneration boon. BTW, it is OP? are you serious? Please tell me any top100 guy who use Warhorn if it is OP. If OP some1 should have been using this though.

google.3709:

Kitt, go 20 into Tactics and take Quick Breathing! it makes warhorn OP

sounds very Fair!
But what if every cap only 1 point and stay there as it gives points for defending in soloQ?

Wolfey.3407:

They really should redo the leader boards x__x
Team Arena should be based on win % since you’re suppose to be pre-made.

Solo Arena should be based on average personal points earned per game (permitting that anet adds the ability to earn points for defending/holding points). You really can’t control the people you play with in solo arena, so you shouldn’t be punished for other peoples inexperience.

1. 200 game is low, i agree, then maybe 400 game then. It is definitely upto ANET’s decision though. But we must allow some genius people, who has relatively very low experience but does almost same quality as real top100, to be top100. (but not people like 8 win 4 loss so top1. it is fully luck in total) so maybe bracket between 200~400 games in total will fairly work correctly to distinguish good players between people who won by full of luck and people who are really skilled.

2. If that happens, dont worry, If 1 came into top100, another 1 will be removed from top100, so no problem GG.

3. I said the amount, quantity, quality of reward to soloQ pvper isn’t problem, but rewarding to soloQ pvper is important.

google.3709:

so, dumb luck should be rewarded the same as the as combined effort of 5 players ? prob not

also…

• 200 games is too low
• win or lose, 1 game per week is all it takes to stay top 100 thanks to the way decay works
• no one got eternity :/

NOPE. it should be removed. I can definitely say it cuz I have **** too many times by engi.

kylwilson.9137:

All of those tPvPers who got Eternity via tPvP.

Very nice troll post A++

Oh man, I can’t deny Apex Prime was top group in Tpvp zone even before the start of ToL? or you deny it?

I have no personal connections to play with for tpvp and ToL.
So just hit SoloQ whenever I have free time. (I am not like fully lucky person who has only 8win 4loss and became top1 in soloQ.)

Why do ANET only reward people who have connection to go those league with? you know we DON’T even have FRINEDS and TIME go there.

I don’t care amount of reward, but just reward us plz.

You see? Tpvp group with high ranker also defeated this ToL. ALSO, their groups consisted of their people who are used to play with themselves normally, NO DIFFERENCE AS USUAL.

So, ANET have to reward high rankers in soloQ as well, just like the way ANET rewards team pvp high rankers as the name of “ToL”.

Exclude people who has less than 100 win/loss, but reward others who are within top100 and have more than 200wins/losses, becuz they are real top100 who play OFTEN.

Give soloq high rankers Eternityyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy or at least Sunrise plz.

OR just remove soloQ from the game if ANET cannot TREAT us EQUALLY as TPVP people (and those tpvp people also went ToL as same group members so, tpvp top==ToL top, There is no difference so GG). Guess what? it is just DISCRIMINATION..

SoloQ is fine and very equal ONLY IF it exclude people who doesn’t not even fill 200 win/losses in total. If you exclude those people and just see top100 people who has more than 100win/losses, you will find from them that soloQ is very equal and fine.

Swim.6830 – Sorry, i am talking about this game not that game. I can understand but this game’s ploblem is that Torment war can also speed at 33%. that’s what i am talking about, as well as warhorn war is worse in fighting than torment war, therefore no advantage as compared to torment war. warhorn war and torment war has no difference in spvp small map cuz swiftness duration doesnt matter in small spvp map. so swiftness;s intensity is necessary, just like torment’s intensity. In guildwars 1, it was possible for thief classs to run at 50% but idk why they disabled it. If i can’t win, they had to AT LEAST make a way to run away from it. or just die at corner like mouse? cant’t win, cant’t cap, cant’t run away? I can do nothing but die? That’s my thought,.

If you know any good warhorn war in top100, plz tell me. I would contact him/her then to ask things. I guess NONE though,
