Someone tell me what is the point of a clerics thief please

if you go with cleric thief

the thief can spend all his trait to build for venom aura

venom aura with cleric thief will heal your teammate around 20% hp if he succe to score all the 4 charges ( if he dosnt get blinded / blocked / dodge / evade and all things )

This will be very ’’insane’’ and ‘’shake things around’’ according to Anet

Wtf i opened chest but didnt get any rank points?

Seems like Anet will completly ignore this

Cleric thief is not impressed

Viking Jorun.5413:

So, something to note from the livestream is that it has a 4k individual heal PLUS 4 stacks of skelk venom which have a 650 base heal, giving you well over HiS’s heal with support opportunity.

Still 45sec cd, still need to waste alot of traits for venom share + reduce cd + need your whole team to actully hit something to heal ( if they miss charges goes away gz you wasted 45sec cd heal if your being targeted your done )

Now i know i heard jon peter said IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IFFI IFIF IFIF IFFIFIFI 1k times

If your team gets in the area of venom share IF your team gets the heal If the enemies are not dodging / blocking / blinding and things

it can get nice but your choice to depend on if

Hello.. Since with the new reward system you will be able to get cultural armor all dungeon and things with glory + gold / the custom arena starter kit for 200k glory and all

What is happening to people who exploited glory? they got over 6+ Million glory? is this completly forgotten

Brave Mallyki.1563:

So, since it is a venom it can be shared with others by using the venom sharing trait, right? Are we going to be see a switch to venom thieves now?

Pls no. I want no part of a venom meta.

lol venom meta

All games since reset has been nothing but a pain

there is no balanced fights

either you lose with 100points max against 500

or you win 500 and they lose 50 – 100 WHAT THE HELL EVERY SINGLE GAME NOT EVEN ONCE NOT EVEN ONCE

Not even a SINGLE GAME they all are screwed!

it didnt matter if i had 3 – 4 ppl at cannon

it didnt matter when guard + warr then necro came and all died they still had 2 points and we 1 and losing it

it dosnt matter if you bring a warr which i though would carry the team but nope dosnt matter if 5 of them would come my team / or next time the other team would run into the wall

50% chance to end up with the team who will just do nothing but run into a wall? this never happened before reset from my experience at best once a month but not every single game for the last days

since its only 1 week left cant we have any numbers how much it will cost?

when it was about gold whoop every single soul got perm bann within 10min

glory ? rank ? just farm bruh np 8 lvl 80s for you oh here is a title

what is gonna annoy me insanly much is if the tome lvl item is gonna expensive

so ppl who played without the exploit a whole year maybe got 500k only will be 40lvls maybe

while an explloiter got 3000000000 glory gets 2 80s and played way less

make it cheap so the exploiters wont even have the chance to be rewarded 100000x more

Skyhammer farmers and Glory exploiters getting rewarded

yaaaay

Gold and Experience in PvP
- In the December 10th update, you’ll be able to earn gold in PvP as a match reward. As an extension of that, you’ll also be able to spend glory and gold to purchase account-bound Tomes of Knowledge, which grant a level each and will allow you to level up any of your characters. The Tome of Knowledge will be found on a new glory vendor that has several items available for purchase with both glory and gold.

any number on how much it will cost, some ppl exploited up to 30000000000000glory

i cant even play with normal people, whatever i do it end up with 3ppl who is r1 r4 r6?

its the same over and over how the hell do i get back where i was if the whole team wont do anything right

is 1 man gonna carry the rest?

It dosnt have to be RNG in chests? i hate RNG and its broken system

But if chests gave like the mats needed for it ( example you need 300 legendary dust ) you get 5dusts each chests or they should figure out something it shouldnt just be RNG cause it would end up being same problem with leaderboard

a dude plays 1 game, wins gets that one item needed for it?

while another opens 800chests he saved since launch get nothing

Nope! not fair

That one thread got closed saying shards would drop from any chests… My guess is it will thus have a drop chance(= rng). Next issue is glory farmers….

You could not make it rng by, like you say, getting a fixed ammount of mats/chest, but then it would still be grinding… The ammounr of chests needed for 1 legendary would be fixed unless you make it rng… That’s why getting legendary mats from chests would be the worst idea every… It’s either grind or rng !!

No one player wants to grind or have a random chance to gain legendary through chests… Especially not when some ppl have stacked chests, other people havn’t and some others have switched from eu to na or vice versa and didn’t get any chests for their next X wins !

That’s why the only solution would be win-tied achievments that are basic for winning the game/knowing the map. It would PROMOTE teamplay. For people that are nervous about what this would give for SoloQ, the solution is simple:

Make a video: How To Achieve Legendary Through SoloQ and announce the video with the release notes.

Last solution could be 1 legendary for X ammount of wins in tournaments. But that would make the process of getting a legendary incredibly boring. You don’t get any title/reward(achiev points) for trying to get a legendary this way. It will feel grindy as kitten !(just like in pve).

Now let’s immagine an achievment-based system to get legendaries is implemented. What will happen with all those dedicated pvp players that have stacked their tournament chests or have over 1.5K wins ? The solution is simple:

• 1 legendary “token” for every 500 wins
• LET THERE BE GOLD
• introduce new pvp currency that allows to buy new ,unique ,rare weapon/armor skins(also drops from match win/rank chests to give hotjoin players acces to good looking armor/weapons)

What about the particle effects you may ask…

Since you get a title(s) for achieving/trying to achieve a legendary you don’t have the need for others to see your legendary. So a function could be implemented in SoloQ/TeamQ for those that are bothered by particle effects to turn legendaries into normal skins on other players.

Let it be grindy as long as old players who stuck their kitten since launch in spvp have something to show for it and not those PVE grinding kittens in skyhammer who rolled over other ppl by mindless farming

Ulalume.9584:

Smiley.5376:

Not every pvp “amateur”(someone that prefers pvp over pve) has time to play TeamQ so people that play soloQ should also be rewarded. If that’s what you ment with tournament wins.

2 of the achievments are only accounted for if you actually WIN the match(annihilation & tactics). The other two are team support and “enemy sabotage”(interruption & help). And the precursor achievment is actually defined by wins…

A tournament win refers to a win in either solo or team queue…

How can you not realize that your achievements would promote horrible play? I can already see how the r5 bunker guardian in solo queue attempts to steal Svanir or the condition necro spends 10 minutes destroying a treb that no one has fired just to get credit for your achievement.

You claim you want legendaries to be rewarded to players who are good. It would make more sense to tie it to leaderboard ranks then instead of rewarding players for 500 rezzes. I may just afk in the corner, watch you getting downed, and then rez you to get credit for one of your more reasonable achievements.

Weapon skins can not be tied to leaderboard ranks… Only top player would get them and cosmetics is something that everyone, that wants to dedicate effort and time to a game, should be allowed to earn.

If you are so concerned about the lower ranks rushing into it. Explain them: you will not progress if we do not win the match… It’s not THAT hard. Hell, even Anet could release some kind of guide for it so that we don’t get QQ from Top SoloQ Players… Your making such an issue of it while it isn’t.

Rewards from leaderboard rank is a completely different thing in my opinion. Leaderboard rank should be tied to exclusive titles. Another great thing to introduce would be, just like in gw1, trimmed capes(a back piece). Also gaining a little bit of gold for being in the TOP 100 would be nice aswell.

Leaderboard rewards should also NOT be permanent. How can you give a permanent reward to something that is temporary ? Maybe give people that have been in the top for a prolonged period of time the ability to wear a customized cape instead of the standard gold/silver/bronze capes. With the new decay system i don’t think many people will be able to abuse it.

Example:

• if rank 1-20 for 30 consecutive days you get acces to a gold trimmed cape for 1 month.
• if rank 21-50 for 30 consecutive days you get acces to a silver trimmed cape for 1 month.
• if rank 50-100 for 30 consecutive days you get acces to a bronze trimmed cap for 1 month.
• each cape would be unique per profession

it should only be soloq and teamq chest rewards to give mats to legendary

why not achiv? ppl who played tpvp since launch should have it easier getting it
why not rank chests / glory ? because exploiters got 2millions of glory
why not rank ? FARMERS disgusting FARMERS
why not leaderboards? wierd a dude with 20games top 10 got legendary?
why am i so smart? i just am

I completely agree with your last 3 insights. However your first “why” can be fixed very easily. Give players a legendary token for every 300-500 games won in SoloQ + TeamQ. This will also resolve the incoming QQ from those that have already opened their chests.

Why Not SoloQ/TeamQ chest ? Because it will be grindy. It will be random. What about those that simply are very unlucky ? Getting a legendary should not be a random process… Please do not suggest Anet to inroduce any more random/grindy mechanics in this game… Especially not in pvp.

If you really want to introduce another RNG method via reward chests then please not make it mats for legendaries… Your best bet would be rare skins/armor but certainly not legendaries.

It dosnt have to be RNG in chests? i hate RNG and its broken system

But if chests gave like the mats needed for it ( example you need 300 legendary dust ) you get 5dusts each chests or they should figure out something it shouldnt just be RNG cause it would end up being same problem with leaderboard

Nina.4317:

I say “No” because, I’ve been playing for a year now 99% pvp, and I don’t want to do these Achievments you suggested.
I think the old and active PVPers should be rewarded without spendind again 1k hours to do it.
Like i said i spend 1k5 hours in pvp now i want my rewards!

My idea: to earn leagendaries:

at least 750k glory point
1000 / 2000 tn played/won
Rank X

i disagree strongy on glory point

unless everyone who exploited glory gets a permanent bann, yes there is ppl who managed to get 2million plus glory easily with birthday booster 10k each game very fast matches

This is not fair at all, i say tournament chests ONLY drops the mats needed for legendary and plus you wll need to be like r40 plus or r50 atleast

But glory yeah right ppl got millions of those becuse of exploit

Loll

Dat misquote

HAHAha

NevirSayDie.6235:

Because people kept entering tournaments right up until the moment the patch hit and then losing the match due to being unable to log back on in time. And then complaining about the lost rank.

There is still no reason to disable pvp 5 – 6hours before the patch hits

30 – 1hour is perfectly fine but 5 – 6? comeone it aint even spvp which is getting updated

DiogoSilva.7089:

It’s the second skill that goes for 4k at critical. The first hits for 2k. I’m using barbarian gear with berserker jewel, btw, so I can get near 20k.

on what are you hitting 4k? can you give more info is it on people who are glasscannons?

4k+ ? where do you get those numbers

i am online right now i am stacked up 25 might berserker amulet, glass cannon specced

using axe it does max 1,6k on heavy golem?

Divinity.8041:

Seeing as no elementalists were harmed in the making of the last competitive tournament in GW2…I think devs are going to rethink the class.

This is just my opinion, but that was probably the boldest statement the class could make. Not that there was just one…there was just none.

/rhyme

Yes at 15th october conjures are getting buffed everyone will be using them

and the healing spell geyser get incr radius and we get some kind of line of warding like guardian has

i mean they fixed ele this was our problem the whole time

More radius of geyser and line of warding and conjures bom we are fixed

Jon sharp posted this

We’re working on the staff in an effort to make it a stronger support weapon, and we also improved the conjure weapons so that they’re stronger for support. You’ll see improvements to all 4 of the conjure weapons to make them stronger and better for support.

We also increased the healing on Water Blast, the radius on Geyser and we reworked
Unsteady Ground to make it function more like line of warding.

in other words is this what ele will be getting for balance patch seems pretty accurate on what jon sharp is saying ? is this those the fixes we need? i mean i cant see anyone still going with conjure weapons ( if they mean they are buffing them for ppl to use them more in tpvp? ) or that people will start using staff for the geyser buff?

you dont think we will be to OP? i mean incr healing on waterblast and radius on geyser wil be gamebreaking unsteady ground on staff woah

please dont buff us so much

My dmg feels very low i play S/D i mean the survability i got is very low but managable i can survive but my dmg feels still very low

i use berserker amulet and traits is 0/30/0/10/30

is there other setups which is better?

Seriously rewards is insanly horrible its exactly like any other

well only reason is actully right now for me achivment title

just killed him in desolation finally after several times trying

the loot was insanly crap got nothing but a rare item 1ecto

75% heallth shouldnt have a chance of ascended that is to high

More necros complaining that they can’t beat something that was built to counter them?

It’s not about necros, it’s about condition builds. I prefer to use condition build on my every alt.(warrior, thief etc.) since I hate direct damage skills. I’ve given necro example bcos necros are mostly condition oriented and don’t have enough direct damage or mobility to avoid condi-invulnerability. I can kite a warrior with a thief/mesmer till the buff disappears, but you can’t do this with a condi necro.(necro doesn’t have leap or 1200 range movement skills) I don’t want any build to be op, I just want the balance. ppl opened so much threads in necro forum about op conditions, it’s ok necro is nerfed. But it’s time for warrior invulnerability now. Maybe they can make fear cc to pass through this buff to avoid an undead warrior.

Kite a warrior for 8 seconds, yes they can. A low skilled Necro can not, while a high-skilled one can, speaking form experience. If facing a Mace+GS build(or most direct builds) then it will be much harder to live compared to condi warrior.

I was talking about gs + mace/shield builds. a skilled warrior can easily rush to a slow class like necro. The main problem is, it prevents condition based ccs, so it makes a rush warrior unstoppable against a condition build. This stance is a defensive countermeasure, but in spvp it’s used as offensive invulnerability. This is why I say condition based ccs should pass through this buff. Taking no damage from conditions is more than enough.

sounds fine if it removes all conditions applied on us, or you could just stop playing and messing up for your whole team

Will there be better loot?

You will be still able to use it in pve and pvp just pull out new ones from achivment tab

when you click convert to pvp the skin itself gets to a pvp item then pull out a new skin from achivment if you want for pve

Probably not but who really knows

maybe next year

You miss the point of this thread. I didn’t make this thread so you could tell me/us how much better Radiant is than Hellfire. I made this thread so you could write how much better they could have been made.

Looks really kittening wierd with silver colour on gauntlets when my armour is gold/black. Can’t even dye them.

Take them off then
is someone here forcing you to wear those?

Hello, i got none of these achivments and i just completed one puzzle in borderlands got both of the keys entered the vault and got the loot but no achivment at all how come?

DeathMatch simply wouldn’t work on GW2 thanks to class balance

Currently Mesmer is the only class with reliable Ress, strong burst, boon hate, insane amounts of invulnerability and are 1 of the 2 classes that it’s impossible to stomp on the first try.

Death matches would be based around 1 guard and 4 Mesmer and maybe theif, unless Anet finds a way to give other classes without invils/stealth a way to defend against focus fire and complete boom clear. And also a reliable ress

it would be based around 5 necros who never played before smashing their heads to the keyboard somehow they applied 48949848949848948948948948948945689418589419818948949848941521968894189489498894198598conditions and 104 fears

The thief

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuUBmPLR0HQ

However, warrior got the most damaging skill in the game, we can do way higher dps over time, as we can backstab more often than hundred blades, means thief got higher dps of course this guy used utlities, but even without these he would still do tons of damage, with cloak + backstab rotaton. and do more NB Single target damage than the warrior, no class will ever beat warrior in clearing groups unfortuanatly. but i hope this stops the quell between which has highest dps. .

What the hell has this video to do with DPS?

Bro do you even dps?

anyone know if this is intended or a bug!?

Fortus.6175:

only one question; how the heck did they make it to the enemy entry point?!

engineers rocket boots with super speed

no it will probly be you need 2000achivments points ( but it dosnt take it like a currency ) and 900ectos + 100 laurels

I agree on the reward part so hard

there is those kittens who steps into the game plays it 50 hours throw a rare into forge BOOM 500 gold

Then there is those poor loser kittens like me who plays 1000+ hours in 10 months THROWS 4000 rares into that Godkitten forge and gets nothing

Wait a minute – you apparently didn’t pay attention when the mystic toilet was explained. It’s like the lottery. Are you going to get mad when you play the lottery for 10 years and get nothing? Are you going to get mad when someone buys their first ticket and wins? I never throw anything in the MF expecting anything but trash. If you had saved all of the money that you used buying rares or salvaged all of the rares that dropped for you into ectos and sold them you would have your 500 gold.

Yes, yes i would be mad if i played it for 10 years and get nothing

Not that it would do anything good but i guess most people would be mad but there is ofcourse nothing to do we all know what mystic toilet is and the lottery no need to take my post serious

those stupid minor traits revives 10% faster should be deleted i rather have nothing there

They are aware of that, and you can get laurens from Spvp by doing the pvp daily / monthly

But what i cant get thru to my mind is why you cannot make money OR gems in Spvp

Ye i know the dyes, gems item shops and custom arena is completly optional i aint forced to buy it yes i know that already

I agree on the reward part so hard

Whats more funny is those rangers who claim they are in a worse place than warrior

Now thats a good laugh, but necro aint OP +1
