Guild Wars 2

If you want to be ultimately useless and just press 1 1 1, then yeah, staff guardian is your best bet.

Seerstrange.4723:

Yea but this guys using a power build with a sword which is just not good enough damage…

I hope you are being sarcastic.

Final thrust can crit up to 8k with ~90% crit damage.

I’ve been using sword/shield and hammer for quite a long time now and it works, really.

Can’t wait to killshot people with my predator in pvp.

kitten yes

Nubu.6148:

I think Arbstone , Blacktide , Dazgonur and Miller will fight 4 the 1. place.

Yeah I think that seems about right.

I believe Blacktide will win, we will see.

Thanks a lot arenanet!

This proves it yet again that they really do listen to the community and do read the forums.

Last 2 days of FREE transfer, come and join us! :-)

I agree with most of your points Kismet.

But! As far as class balance goes, this game is not ready yet for real E-Sports. Doesn’t matter how much of a fanboy you are, you can’t deny this.

free bump

/15 char

10/0/30/30/0 condi bunker and survival utilities will be a very strong roaming build.

Julie Yann.5379:

Anet said that this is just the first step to make other types of build viable and purge the “GO FULL ZERK OR GTFO” movement that has been plaguing the game since launch. I hope it works, getting sick of these PvE meta builds.

Yep, me too. I haven’t entered a dungeon/fractal for months because of this.

killahmayne.9518:

Defense: Rousing Resilience – Gain toughness when you break out of a stun. The amount of toughness gained is up to 1000, based on your level and lasts for 4 seconds.

What in the actual kitten.

Soilder.3607:

My god, we need trait COMPRESSIONS. I’m not ok with four longbow traits.

This.

We already have a few traits for the longbow in the markmanship line.

IMHO the trait eagle eye and piercing arrows should be merged together and both moved to master trait. After the patch, the new GM trait will conflict with eagle eye or piercing arrows. Many of us know that if you play longbow you have to take both traits in order to make the weapon actually useful.

And lets be honest, merging those 2 traits would really not be op. Remove the 5% damage modifier if you want and there we go.

LOL!!!

What did you smoke Kris?

What a BIG loss for gunnar’s hold!

facepalm

Silentshoes.1805:

Experienced WvW people:

When I jump on solo to roam a bit, what is the most helpful thing I can do?

What voice service is most used? TeamSpeak? Mumble? Something else?

I figure if I listen in to the current strategy, I can find out where I can most contribute.

Zerging is not my thing; I don’t enjoy mass battles of hitting doors with 100 other people in a mass.

Hey,

1. What I usually do when I go soloroam is flipping camps of every tier and killing dolyaks in order to interrupt the supply delivery. A very good timing for flipping a camp is after or during a keep assault. Also, since I am moving around the map a lot, I can report suspicious activities such as the enemy building golems and stuff like that. Gank all the zerglings :P, and cap the ruins in your border

What many people underestimate is the amount of score you get by holding all three bloodlusts while your zergs stomp every enemy they see. It is about 30%? of the overall score and its really important. So if you constantly cap/recap the ruins, you’re able to generate 3 points per stomp. In a big stonemist battle you could (I say could because everyone is cleaving anyway) potentially stomp over 70 people, so thats free 210 score just like that.

2. Depends on the server/guild, most servers use teamspeak though.

3. And of course its important to have fun

Jesus Christ, people!!! (I am referring to the comments on YT as well) I agree that the build is obsolete nowadays but he’s right!

I see so many scumbags in fractals running around in full zerker gear even though they can’t take the heat. Why?! Because they are basically forced to wear it.

(In before “but the doesn’t have to play like this.” EVERY person absolutely HATES to be excluded and thats exactly what the current meta is doing… and that’s why everyone is rolling zerker gear. Elitist kitten in a 99% casual game, I can’t believe it!)

Play how you want and let the others play the way they want to play. Life is too kittening short for this elitist bullkitten.

Impossible! I mean… I mean…, I finished her with a cow on her face. She can’t be alive!

Right…. Right???

Meh, the fake leaked notes had actually some good ideas in order to buff the focus without making it OP.

Too bad.

Uhm yeah, world first after hotfix? COOL BRAH

Hello guys today i am uploading my main build, condition damage build(video) with a gameplay of course. The build will allow you to have 2k condition damage average!!

Video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyzPh8yo7ok

(note: i am 14 years old and i am not from america so my accent is a little bit unclear. so please forgive me i did my best. also i put some summary in the end of the description!)

14 years old? Go for the girls young man, the MMO’s can wait… Believe me.

Besides, Koi cakes or Super veggie pizza food is far superior compared to the food you’re using. They increase the damage a lot.

Vasopressin.4536:

My character is such a poser.

Tomb Raider Style

Change your title please before every1 starts to believe something that might not even be true. Thanks..

PhaNTaSiZe.4215:

You ppls’ connections and/or pcs must suck, b/c I barely ever have lag or skilllag issues, aside from a 3way clusterfudge inside Stonemist here and there when theres an INSANE amount of ppl in one place. Other than that, no issues. Maybe it’s not the game that is the problem, but for you that’s just the easiest thing to blame it on…

Yeah, all OUR computers and connections absolutely SUCK. facepalm

Dude, if hundreds of people experience the same lag in the same situations then it surely is not our system’s fault.

Biohazard.7523:

Yea it would be great that arenanet give us 900 gems because they insulted us by giving us buged content like we are pre alpha testers for their releases

Oh yeah they insulted you…. The kid is sad, give him a cookie.

Seriously mate, there are different problems, calm your kittens.

Purple Miku.7032:

Dear god that first song… my ears… they’re in pain.

Indeed…. what the kitten are people listening to nowadays lol.

“lemme take a selfie” facepalm

Anyways, I like the build. Might stacking potential is very high.

Again, guys, this is your opinion. I’ve seen meditation guardians easily kill “any warrior builds” and vice versa.

@ AEFA, really mate? Have you even fought against top engineers? I assume not because you are talking kitten.

This topic leads to nowhere, since every player has different opinions.

Edit: by top I don’t mean perplexity confusion spammers

Agree. I hope they will implement elites with shorter cooldowns. Even 90 seconds (e.g. Renewed focus, Mass invisibility) is quite long, considering that the basilisk venom can be traited to 36 seconds.

I believe this has been discussed before, the only thing we can do is wait and hope for new elites.

My character looks exactly the same like the character on the 2nd picture here: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/get-ready-for-wvw-spring-tournament-2014/

Coincidence? I would say copycats!! :P

DanSH.6143:

I wanted to post this a long time ago. It seems that people are clueless about what’s strong/weak in the 1v1/roaming scene.

The Best Spec’s In 1v1

1. PU condi Mesmer
2. s/d Thief
3. s/p Thief
4. condi Mesmer
5. condi bunker Ranger
6. condi mace/sword Warrior + terror Necro
7. d/p trickery Thief + d/p shadow arts Thief
8. s/f “fresh air” Ele
9. MM Necro
10. medit Guard

Some people have weird assumptions about certain classes. Like “warriors are OP in everything” and “ele is the worst class”. I’ve seen people posting things like “why do people think PU is OP?” etc…

While I do agree warriors are brokenly OP in most parts of the game, most of their specs are mediocre in 1v1.
Yes, ele are weak in tpvp. But most people assume that ele will drop dead in any fight including 1v1. s/f ele is an incredibly strong 1v1 spec, that can completely counter other strong specs like PU and condi mesmer.

I don’t want to get too much into detail with the rest.
Feel free to comment/rage/rant I’ll be happy to hear everything

Ok let’s see…

First of all, I partly agree with your #1 but not with the rest.

To a certain extent!, it depends on the personal playstyle.
Of course, there are some noob friendly and quite op builds such as the PU condi mesmer. But If you know how to deal with them, it makes things easier.

I myself run a meditation guard, a condi warrior and condi bunker ranger and I absolutely am able to kill every S/p thief. Does that mean I am on spot 3 now with these builds? No!

You cannot tell build X is rank X because every player is different.

Of course, there are exceptions such as the #1, the boon per second rate needs to be adjusted IMO.

Again, this is just my opinion.

EDIT: Also, where is the condi engineer in your list? Well played engineers can absolutely wreck “Ranks” 5-10.

Yeah, a dragon using twitter…………………………………

Really guys?

Mate, the wall IS down. :P

Now that you mention it, LOL!

The build itself is okay. The only thing I really noticed is that you sometimes press random skills even though it’s not needed or just press them in wrong moments.

Don’t waste your cooldowns like that.

My dearest brother is disabled as well, I feel with you Christina.

Life goes on.

CrimsonNeonite.1048:

Just had it on EB as Augury and Gunnars clashed inside AR Keep, there’s not much we can do.

It was a mess. Many of us had to bail. Even the autoattack didn’t work.

Very easy dungeon, it has been nerfed a couple times.

Shouldn’t take you too long to do it.

Creamble.1652:

yep… you are runnin 0/15/30/15/10, Cavalier/Valkyre/Berserker… Main stats for your things, just can’t say if its only this or only that or a mix, or which parts are with which stats. Nice video bro.

This.

I know what traits he’s using, but I am not gonna spoil it in case he decides to make a build video or whatever.

The only thing that I’ll say is that he’s using diamond skin. @ 2min10

Are you high?!

Really kind :-)

Nike.2631:

Am I the only one more annoyed that Evon and Braham are voiced by the same person than anything Evon has to say? I keep expecting Evon to say “kah-bam!” .

Yep, I noticed this as well…

Only people that research thoroughly know why.

Besides, I am a semi-casual player and I accumulated more than 2 million karma the past few months by playing every part of the game. It is less than before for sure, but it’s still a good amount and it’s really not hard to get it.

Use the hound and wolf for knockbacks, immobilize, fear + 2x cripple.

With your setup you should have permanent cripple so it makes it easier to catch him.

Also, if he runs away multiple times, just leave. Running warriors are not real warriors and should instantly reroll to another class. I am serious.

Fror.2163:

Challenge: do this quest while actually drinking IRL as it’s shown on screen.

CHALLENGE…. ACCEPTED!

1. Ranger
2. Elementalist
3. Necromancer

The only medium armor’s I really like are magitech, krytan and t3 armor on human female.

Two of them are gem shop armor’s, so there is something wrong here.

Nice video!

I’d suggest you to swap torch and dagger, so you have at least one evade in each weapon set. There are also a couple of useful combos you can dish out like this

- Sword #3 + Torch #5, followed by an immobilize from a pet is a really nice burst.

- Dagger #4 (you close the gap) + Axe #2, so you land all 5 bleeding stacks.

- Torch #5 + Sword #2 gives you a firefield and 1-3 potential might stacks.

I used to run the same weapon set like you do but this works much better for me.

:)

Rangers FTW!

I also play with sword/torch and axe/dagger, it’s awesome!

Ninja-ish playstyle rocks…

The thing is that every class will have access to 2 sigil’s and therefore the answer is no.

We need better condition cleanse mechanics, as simple as that.

@ Interpretor, really mate?

Warriors with Rabid/dire gear and certain builds can absolutely faceroll every profession in wvw solo roaming (In a fair 1v1, that is). That’s why I personally refrain from using it, because it is op and thankfully it gets a slight nerf with the pin down telegraph.

In PVP not so much, because there is no condi duration food and no dire gear, so it’s a bit!! more even there.

Well played condition warriors beat almost every build in this game, period.

If you like facerolling people, go ahead, otherwise i’d go for a power build which is way more fun.
