Guild Wars 2

I have all 3 classes.

In WvW the one i prefer the most, depends on what i am doing. I love the Mesmer to roam. I love the Necromancer to Zerg fights and i have my Elementalist on Support now. It’s all about how the class feels to you.

For sPvP:

1) Game Modes!
2) Rewards and Incentive to sPvP!
3) Balance gameplay and roles!

PvE List:

- Condition system.
- Berserker > Everything else!
- Charr needs more love, from cliping to diversity!!!

WvW

1) Server population balance to allow healthy match ups.;
2) Anti-Zergs mechanics;
3) Purpose to WvW!

PvE and WvW:
1) Templates to use different builds and different gear.

I don’t know why they don’t make two versions of the tequatl:

- Enraged
- Normal

Normal could scale to enraged, accordingly to amount of player, spawn time, certain conditions to spawn, etc etc…
Enraged would give the loot table it currently have.
Normal would be a easier version of tequatl, almost a harder version from the old tequatl, and without the newer drop list.

Cmon folks,

It’s not completely unreadable. Make a small effort to try to understand the question, like he/she is doing to write it in English, certain the non-native language.

This topic is precisely what they meant by “cleverly disguised” personal attacks.

I am by no means “cleverly attacking” anyone. Policy is policy and it has been made clear that it can not be discussed, which I have no interest in doing any longer.

I’ve accepted the policy and with that, I have accepted the consequences. I am looking for the best advice for keeping valuable items from being lost.

I’m still looking for an answer about creating a guild, will it be lost if my account is terminated? Would it be better for someone else to create the guild that I can place all my items into?

Dude,

- Guilds aren’t account bound! They are server bound. So if you create a guild, it stays there even if you are banned! All items in the guild bank stays there for the guild members who have permission to access the bank!

- You will not be banned unless you are cheating or somehow involved with RMT.

- The released update with the forum rules will not get you a BAN ingame.

/cheers

errr… or this is too cleverly disguised or i’m too dumb to figure it out…

Maybe the best way would simply be to not abuse people or post personal attacks?
That would protect you from “account-termination” (which, btw, is only for the forum as far as I am aware, not ingame).

This is correct:

So from this point forward, everybody who personally attacks a member of the studio will get an immediate 2 week forum suspension on the first violation. Any further attack on studio members will result in a permanent termination of your posting rights.

I have no interest in discussing forum policy that can not be discussed. Sorry.

What?
I was just quoting the actual rule, to back up lordkrall’s statement.

You won’t be banned from the game unless you cheat in the game! If you have doubts if you are doing is legit, stop doing it! According to the forum rule, you wont get a game ban, even you make a personal insult to the team!

No discussion of the rules made!

Just get a 6-pack of perplexity…

Will we start to see in the World chat:

LF2M Guardians for WvW?

Nretep.2564:

So using two sigils of fire at once (if they work) would act like a single one with 51%/ 44% chance instead of 30%. That’s why it shouldn’t be done.

Effectivity Rules

• Use one sigil with cooldown and one without.
• Do not use “on crit” sigil on one set and one “on weaponswap” in the other

K, that’s what i was thinking, but i can’t understand the reasoning to they shouldn’t be used together…

kingcragus.6810:

Does anything beat a competent D/P Thief?

Yes.

A competent player.

I guess I am totally incompetent….over 15k kills in WvW and I constantly get owned by thieves.

Maybe your build isn’t suited for beating them. There is no such thing as a perfect build!

Curo.2483:

Even with this bug, I still couldn’t kill people as fast as thieves can. At least my victims (the 10 or so I managed to land on) could see me coming.

You were doing it wrong. If you did like Thieves (MI, Veil or decoy and then JUMP to foe/foes) you would get it perfect!

GenNuttY.3891:

the purple chain never followed me after blink before this patch.

Then it was broken and now it is fixed. blink is a stun breaker, not a condi cleanse.

^ Quote for truth!

Stun breaker will remove:
- Daze, Fear, Float(UW), Knockdown, Launch (Blowout), Pull, Push (Knockback), Sink(UW), Stun, Petrified caused by Basilisk Venom, Ice block caused by Deep Freeze from Conjure Frost Bow.

It will not remove:
- Bleeding, Blind, Burning, Chilled, Confusion, Crippled, Immobilized, Poison, Torment, Vulnerability, Weakness.

hmmm because they can be very powerful in the right hands?

No…. they can’t. I made amazing builds for a bunch of classes in WoW, and one of my builds was ranked number one on a build site. Thousands of people used my builds. I come to GW2, and every single Elementalist build I have ever come up with has been nerfed almost instantaneously. I came up with the best glass cannon build I could find, and I still only do 30% of the damage a warrior (with twice my health and armor ) does. I agree. More than just the health needs to be evaluated though. Damage, armor, and health all need to be redone.

You are doing something wrong then. And btw, just because you made a good build in another game, don’t make you the Guru on Gw2 Elementalists.

I stumbled upon a question regarding the use of 2 on crit sigils:

Let’s use 2 Sigils of fire for this example:

• Superior Sigil of Fire - 30% Chance on Critical: Trigger a Flame Blast for AoE Damage
  (Cooldown: 5 Seconds)
• Major Sigil of Fire - 20% Chance on Critical: Trigger a Flame Blast for AoE Damage
  (Cooldown: 5 Seconds)

Questions:

.1 – Can i use two of the same sigil (ig: Superior) at the same time?
.1.1 – If i can use them at the same time what would it be the critical chance? Additive or combined probability? Would it be 60% (0,30+0,30) or 51% (1-0,70*0,70)

.2 . If i can’t use them both, if i use Superior on Main hand and Major on Off hand,
.2.1 – Additive or Combined -> 50% (0,30+0,20) or 44% (1-0,70*0,80)

/cheers

What did you expect from an armor made of leaves? xD

While i agree with ANet when pertaining to personal attacks, i also agree that negative criticism should be allowed. We all are evaluated for our work in our jobs, and the ones who can evaluate devs are the audience in which their work is directed to.

Many players have completely lost their faith in the game and in the company, and voice their anger when facing the same issues over and over again. Some voice their anger in a complete bad way (insults and such), while other state more harsh words to the team and their work. As paying costumers and specially as players and fans to the game and it’s prequel, they have the right to issue negative criticism as well.

A funny fact is that most of these less-righteous players did indeed provide positive criticism in the same feedback over and over, to the point they were called a vocal minority. If the team till now, were doing a extremely bad job at the collaboration process with the players as already recognized, why is it the playerbase’s fault they started voicing in a negative way?

Is it rude to point fingers at the team for their mistakes? Well, maybe it is, but no more than treating the players like kids with comments like “You have been warned”. ANet is behaving like the inquisition calling and burning witches simply because they disagree on ANet’s way of thinking. And we are the rude ones?

Ohh, the hypocrisy!!!

I actually believe you can
There aren’t any IP restrictions that i’m aware of

Cynz.9437:

look at the wall, current state of sieg + wall meta
do you really think that any sieg outside of treb would be viable if mesmer bombs were a game feature?

The difference (+10-20% increase) would be so small, that i honestly don’t believe that causes an impact to the process in how structures are breached. In a good day a skill like CS does 2,5k damage, so 3k damage would be OP? Would it be that good that players will jump without a second thought (to their probable death)?

Btw, i was nor referring to the Mesmer CS skill. There is one falling damage reducing skill for every class.

Cynz.9437:

suddenly any kind of sieg is not used anymore..except for trebs :o

Would a 10-20% increase be so much powerful that would make AC and RAMS obsolete?

Spanny.9256:

just wondering, never played gw1; what’s a necro bomb?

I Don’t make a clue! Never played it either.

clint.5681:

Are you guys misreading? They said the people in your party are prioritized over others, they didn’t say other people couldn’t get the buff. Unless shouts have a 4 person limit all of a sudden.

Many of the AoE support skills have a limit of 5 targets.

Dunno about every shout thou, but this 1 at least have a 5 target limit :
“Retreat!” – Grant aegis and swiftness to up to five nearby allies.

Mesmers were holding off zergs from taking towers. It’s already been fixed. Let’s move on.

This thread is not to argue the bug that happened in the Oct. 15th patch regarding Mesmer Chaos Storm falling damage, but to discuss if a mechanic based on falling, would be a good addition to the overall WvW Meta!

And he answered it. One person was holding off an entire zerg from taking towers. In simple terms: No.

His answer was actually a reference to a bug that made possible a huge increase in the DPS of the skill in which added a funny yet unfair advantage to the game. Are you telling me that a increase in 10-20% in the effectiveness of falling skills to all classes would be that OP that would create such advantages?

Yes…

Sigils works on all of your skills while holding that weapon!

That means if you hold bloodlust on the main weapon, you can get the stack even if you kill it with a utility skill! (same applies to critical sigils)

Sticky thread on the Mesmer suf-forum …

Devon.9061:

I would live at hills to suicide bomb any upscale that I see.
**Note only upscales the rest may pass

Obviously with proper damage, not abused damage the actual bug made possible!

…but actually a class feature?

Every class have a skill that halves damage upon falling and also creates a field effect. What if they gave more damage/heal/support based on the amount of health it “absorbed” on the fall?

- Would we see ledge jumpers in WvW?
- Would it be any good?

What do you think about it?

The price on Europe includes taxes, while the one in the states does not.

However, since don’t matter where the gems comes from, a lot of players prefers to buy them from a cheaper Authorized Reseller.

Heibi.4251:

Looks like it created lots of chaos, as intended. But it looks like it may have been fixed:
Mesmer: Descent into Madness: Fixed a bug with the Chaos Storm skill triggered by this trait to properly deal the correct damage.

ohhh …. Warriors have 100 blades, and we had 100 meters as ton-damaging skills… /jk

When you as a Mesmer use Time Warp and you don’t get any quickness because someone else did, shows how important this is.

It should always be prioritizing :
Yourself > Your Group > Allied PC > Allied NPC…

Dhunis.9072:

Now we just have to pray Anet decides to hire lordhelmos for part-time job as ranger balancer.

I lol’d…

No need. Ranger is fine!
They will hire 4 more devs to help balance the warrior thou

Easy FIX:
(1): +28 Condition Damage
(2): 15% Confusion Duration
(3): +55 Condition Damage
(4): 20% chance to cause Confusion on hit (15 second cooldown).
(5): +100 Condition Damage

Substitute this:
(6): +15% Confusion duration. Causes 10 seconds of Confusion on interrupt.
by
(6): +15% Confusion duration. Chance to spawn a perplexed duck with absolutely no purpose!

or simply add a 10 sec cd!

/cheers

Chopps.5047:

Build made of …whatever…

with:

…Perplexity runes that offer us the ability to stack 25 confusion easily.

Nuff said!

/End Scrub build analysis

Veron.8645:

I like pretty much everything, other than the collars. I don’t want to have to invest in even more gear, which I expect will be expensive. I especially don’t want to feel like I need to get a legendary collar.

Depends how the “collar” would be made. But i honestly don’t see a problem if it would cost the same as a regular accessory for the character. Laurels, Guild Commendations, Gold, WvW badges, Dungeon tokens… Not a real deal actually.

+1 for the ideas! Pet system needs a rework definitively!

I believe this build is in experimental status. But i agree with Tongku. With this build design, the build is not suited for WvW game mode!

. Lacks Mobility;
. Lacks Survival Skills;
. Lacks Usefulness;

Although some of Mesmer’s Mantras were tweaked, one builds strictly focused on Mantras like the Mantra Focus is in fact a little bad!

But keep tweaking it, cause it seems promising

This means if a Guardian grants Aegis to a group, the AoE is ineffective! With Aegis boons being long, i can see the new meta in WvW… Aegis boon’d blobs!!!

Dand.8231:

I’m sort of surprised. I thought our shout-healing-builds were already in a good place. I wasn’t expecting them to get buffed. In truth, I don’t think it was really needed even.

ANet’s Reasoning is beyond comprehension. Take a quick look at every other class sub-forums and no1 understands why the Warrior was buffed for uncalled skills!

Because they want to allow players to use several different builds and stay competitive at the same time!

According to ANet, to achieve this, a nerf to extraordinary good builds and boost to crappy ones is needed, process named as Balance!

Well, i was hoping for a bigger rework…

Yep, but if you have 300 Healing Power, you will heal:

2620 + .4*(300) if i’m not mistaken

There is no Trinity!
There are no mounts!

/suffice 4 now!

Have you checked Blackdevil’s Hybrid Build?

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/mesmer/Maximised-Hybrid-Phantasm-Build-Roaming/first#post3024627

What do you intend to do?

If you want to do fractals → just +5 Agony resist will sufice
If you do not want to do fractals and by chance you prefer WvW then, the Wv3 infusions are better. Either case, +10 to any stat is meaningless!!!

If one of the main Characteristics of Mesmers are Clones, Phantasms and Shattering, i don’t understand how the elite skills don’t have one that is good for them!

For example, some doable elite skills:
.1 – Double the maximum clone/phantasm capacity and summon 1 (or 2) clones each 2 secs / 10 secs
.2 – Summon 2 phantasms (Phantasmal Snipers (with more life), with 1500 range)!
…
etc!!!

I left the Mimic out of the equation, because i literally trow myself into melee range, facing melee weapons preferable.

DiM is a quick WvW getaway off cliffs. Can be replaced thou.

Prismatic Understanding is really one of key aspects of this builds! It’s combo with M.I. and Decoy are outstanding to the survival in melee range! Also M.I due to it’s small cooldown works very well with rune6 effect!
