0-0-20-20-30 WvW build (too lazy to change since I do wvw everyday)
Celestial Staff and the rest are all berserk.
Ether Renewal – Ice Bow – Arcane Wave – Glyph of Storm (for blind) – Glyph of Elementals.

Play style: stack corner > pull mobs > Unsteady Ground > Glyph of Storm (Sandstorm) > nuke

When fight melee boss I’ll change Arcane Wave – Glyph of Storm to Signet of Earth – Signet of Water to make the boss snared all the time.

25 Minion master necros. Enemies will run when they see the blob.

use tornado to increase you stats after cast meteor shower.

berkserk staff ele here with 8-9k meteor shower.
positioning and know when and where to drop big spell.
check for retaliation before you want to drop AoE on the zerg ball or you better choose to nuke the tail of the zerg instead.

try windows mode …..

As a daily OCX SEA player I can say in week 2-3-4-5 BG has no queue in Red and Blue BL in my time. The queue on EB was not too long too. I finished mercenary achievements around week 3 by doing EB for a few hours everyday. (play some at Red or Blue BL while queue for EB)

From my point of view as a pug I think BG has a bit more than SoR in OCX and has less force than JQ in OCX. (I always have to defend the JQ’s push when I play in my time)

So I don’t think BG is overstacked in my timezone.

To OP

Try power necro with 2 wells and corrupt boon, Engi will drop down real fast :P

Well BG from what I have seen, doesnt have 1 giant blob running around, but they refuse to fight, even with superior numbers unless their entire force is present.

This is what I saw today, BG had 15, JQ had 15, BG waited for their 30 man zerg buddies to come help fight us, and built sup ac’s to boot. I know our 15 man zerg is so scary, you need 40-50 and superior arrow carts to beat us. Sure we built 2 sup ac’s of our own, but thats because we knew your 30 man zerg was in the area.

I know, I know, superior tactics, yada yada yada. But it shows you the faith you have in your 15 members all under one guild tag, to not be able to tackle the almost entirely milita JQ zerg, of equal size, who had trouble following the pin, by yourselves.

Yes I always run first when I see zerg since I play roaming with 2-3 man in my own TS. Then I follow the enemies zerg and kill the slow players behind.

And then you know what. Many enemies start to chase after me sometimes 5-10 or sometimes more!! So I don’t know what you are talking about the outnumber. Coz my play style always put me on that situation and it is so much fun. XD

gebrechen.5643:

I still think it’s funny when BG talks about Iron. You have your own numbers equal to Iron on EU. Not sure why you always try to call it uneven.
Iron was a problem for JQ, because we depend on our NA to help out, but with RK and HB and all those BG going overtime you could easily beat Iron.

And the problem you still don’t get is that Iron is GMT+0/1 while ZDs is GMT4/+5 so, if Iron doesn’t log in 4 hours before there prime they won’t even meet ZDs.
When ZDs logs it’s late night for most Sea and that’s it.

I play OCX SEA time and when IRON came to SoR, they beat us badly and that time we Asian guild have to talk about builds, gears and improve our play to fight IRON.
(I aslo had talk to IRON when their CMDs guest to visit Lion’s Arch on BG. I told them that they made my guild improve our builds and gears and one of IRON also whisper the thanks me for what I talk.)

But you try to say IRON start play very late from my time? eh? So which IRON that farmed me back then? Which IRON that I respect them as a better team and I have to improve everything to fight them?

I still can’t understand why BG has more blob than JQ or SOR because what I see in my daily play in map chat is “everyone rally at cmd” “why we have only 15 man at cmd?”

About coverage I play OCX SEA time and I see Queue only EB (long q time)and BG BL (5-10 mins q time) the other 2 BL always have no queue.

Buy buy buy buy buy buy buy buy

The stats you pick is up to the play style you want.
If you want to follow CMD tight and can drop water field when he wants = All Soldier (your healing power is not matter much since all heals are from blast finisher which scale on the healing power of the one who blast)

If you want to stay outside the zerg ball and do damage you can use combination of Soldier Armor+Berserker Trinkets.

If you want all around good survivability ok damge you can use combination of Knight Armor+Celestial Trinkets.

PS. I always use PVT Staff and try to max my power because power is good vs siege (no cri dmg to siege) and when you are on arrow cart power scale to you arrow cart damage too. So I use full soldier when I’m in organized guild group and Soldier+berserker when I play as a pug.

To anyone who think BG=Buy to win you forget some kind of players BG has.

Me and my friends do play in league over 10 hours/day (we normally play 2-3 hours/day)
What I do in my 10 hours play.
1. Scouting.
2. Walking Yaks (I main Ele and change to Ranger for “Sick em” to fight Thief yak hunter, yes there is no queue in my time zone.)
3. Get Bloodlust.
4. Run supply to build ACs to defend towers and Keeps.

I’m doing these things and get 2 WvW Level/day in 10 hours play, but I’m happy coz there is not only me do this kind of job. I always see BG fellas walk beside me, do these housewife job for server.

Sincere question: Why do you feel the need to do this? What do you owe to this server where you give up almost half of your day doing mundane tasks in a video game that’s supposed to be fun?

I do this because I want to win.
I did join zerg in normal week. But when league start, Week 2 first 2 day, SoR was dominating BG and what I saw is towers and Keeps with no defensive siege at all and we keep losing everything.

I talked to my friends, What can we do? and the answer we got was “Make a solid defend.” So I start to run supply to build ACs. (I spent almost a stack of ACs)

The next thing we faced was “No Yak alive”, so I start to walk yaks.

The situations make me do this and I’m happy coz everything goes right now.

I always confuse when someone says BG blob is the biggest.
What I always see in map chat everyday is CMD keep calling everyone in map join the zerg coz there are only 15-20 man with him. :P

(And I always ignore that call and run with 3-5 man roaming around even run follow emeny’s zerg to tell in map chat where they are going, I will join map zerg only when our keep is under attack.)

I was running around in Gendarran Field and noticed that the moon was rising from west.

So The sun and the moon in Tyria just rise from west to east or just in Gendarran field?

Thanks [AoN] necro and thief who keep fighting out number 3 times in SoR BL.
I am just a PvE player(the staff ele) who want to finish my daily invader kill before wvw reset. If I didn’t run in to you guys I won’t be able to finish the daily in 10 mins.

/salute

I run staff with 0 0 20 20 30 (WvW build with Bifrost PVT, Knight armor with 6 rune of travelers and celestial trinkets)

I am too lazy to re-trait so when I go PvE I just change to Bifrost berserk, berserk gears+trinkets with same trait and switch defensive utilities to Frost Bow, Arcane Wave, Glyph of Storm

Here is my idea posted from last month.

The conjure weapon that drop on the ground should have effect like ward in GW1 and the effect will gone after a period of time or if that weapon is picked up.
for example
Axe: 5 secs Fury to nearby ally (180 range)
Bow: Cure a condition every 5 secs (180 range)
Hammer: AoE damage every 5 secs (180 range)
Shield: 50% chance to block melee attack (same as ward against melee in GW1)
Greatsword: Burning to all nearby foes.
This should make conjure weapons work like war’s banners but the effect will gone if someone pick it up. The passive area effect may seem too strong but the current conjure weapons still not worth playing in tPvP.

Full zerker staff ele with ether renewal, frost bow, arcane wave, glyph of storms, Fiery Great Sword can solo without problem too.

I use conner to clump up range and melee mob and cast Glyph of Storms(Earth) = 10 sec AoE blind then kill them.

Fiery Great Sword can run pass everything easy.

I soloed with my staff ele, run pass everything alone in level 3 (Ether Renewal is the life saver), solo Veteran Wurm and solo the last boss with no problem.

Who run PVT? PVT is for starter. We run Sentinel coz we can afford it.

I got all demolition achievement during karma train, no party, just auto attack and switch to read some web pages while waiting for the gate crash sound.

SoR see BG >> BG = big blob, mega zerg

BG player see BG >> CMD call in map chat: Rally on me!! Where is everyone? Why only 15 man on me???

(Me and friends in our own TS not BG TS: Hmm.. zerg go that way we should go get camp in the opposite way gogo.)

For me BG is like most of us do as we want. We join zerg only if someone call in map chat that our tower/keep is under attack.

Why this topic comes to the QQ about buy or stack server which is not relate to the topic?

From the OCX time player point of view, I appreciate all NA CMDs and Guilds who stay so late to help our missing coverage. I can feel how tried and sleepy you guys are from your voice in TS.

Let’s start the karma train.

If Zds move to SoR = not much opponents to fight.
If Zds move to JQ = not much opponents to fight.
If Zds move to lower tier = not much opponents to fight.

IRON should be so proud not QQ.

ZDs move to fight around EU timezone and they pick BG that show so much respect to IRON. (If they move to SoR that means they think Coin+HB are better than IRON)

1. They rate IRON as a worthy opponent.
2. BG has to fight SoR for 3 straight weeks = ZDs can fight IRON for 3 weeks.

If a good guild pick your guild as an opponent that means you guild is good.

Be proud and fight!!

Don’t ask for balance, once everything is balance the meta will stop changing and the game will die.

ANET just like to make OP class first Ele then Ranger then Necro now Warrior may be Mesmer is the next king. I see ANET balance pvp this way since GW1 to make PvP players change their builds and forget to blame about how low the skill pool they have.

The change we should have is adding more skills to make more builds. The left side skill bar should be choices which we can pick. I’d say keep the Auto attack number 1 locked and give us 8-10 skills to pick in number 2-3-4-5. That will make variety builds.

BG has more EU population but they tend to run solo or do PvE things on their own.
Many time when map queue and 40+ SoR attacking BG tower or keep, our CMD try to fight but unfortunately he has only 10-15 players following him.

But when ZDs arrived the hipster pugs around the map just want to see how top tier EU guild play and they follow ZDs, that why you see big BG blob.

no season 2 plz

It call “LAG”

Have you ever try to rez your ally but you can’t?

Same story.

All I see is a newb that doesn’t know how to play warrior try to prove that warrior is not OP.

Condition build in Ele doesn’t work well because we don’t have poison. (decrease healing)
Compare to ranger engi and necro they have poison and abilities to stack many conditions all the time.

Ele have to rotate attunements which means when you are in Air and Water you don’t have condition to pressure your enemy.

How about evis for 22k?

Wait till week 2-3-4 end and see how JQ win in 1v2 matches by 100k+ points.
You will know JQ is still champion.

What about the stats and runes on the armors?

If you can pick any stats/runes you want, it will ruin the economy.

A little more about conjure weapon aura, If it seem too strong just make in active only with Master trait(20 point on that line).

For example
Trait Water X Soothing Wave: Un-picked Conjure Frost Bow grant cleansing aura (range 180) remove 1 condition every 5 secs, duration 30 secs

This topic remind me when Ele was OP and Ele players were defending that thier Ele was not OP. XD

The conjure weapon that drop on the ground should have effect like ward in GW1 and the effect will gone after a period of time or if that weapon is picked up.
for example
Axe: 5 secs Fury to nearby ally (180 range)
Bow: Cure a condition every 5 secs (180 range)
Hammer: AoE damage every 5 secs (180 range)
Shield: 50% chance to block melee attack (same as ward against melee in GW1)
Greatsword: Burning to all nearby foes.
This should make conjure weapons work like war’s banners but the effect will gone if someone pick it up. The passive area effect may seem too strong but the current conjure weapons still not worth playing in tPvP.

Ele used to be like this, good damage, good healing power, good mobility all in one and got nerfed to dirt.

Why war can still have all in one and no sign in nerfing ….

Now ANET can add “Express Queue Card” in TP, 5 times for 400 gems that guarantee less than 1 min queue.

Room No.001-099 = 8v8 If it show 16/20 you may enter as a spectator.
Room No.100+ = 5v5 If it show 10/20 you may enter as a spectator.

ANET should sell “Express Queue Card” in Gem Store, something work like year-ticket for sport fan.

I didn’t said Ele is unplayable or super bad, check my previous comment above I said

“Any roll in team, there always be other class that is better than Ele.”

FYI karma train Friday will award you 3 WvW level per hour without using any WvW exp boost.
