Guild Wars 2

Wait for Anet to improve wvw. Seriously, no one will blame you if we lose our Tier 1 rank. It’s Anet’s fault for making wvw sucky.

D/D bunker elems are the shatter mesmer’s worst nightmare.

Ritualist definitely.. with Focus as mainhand (fan foci ftw)

I feel like im being forced to like trahearne instead of actually having any reason to do so. I agree he is flat and the character feels rushed and generic.

What is this white on rice thing that SoS commanders seem to be using during wvw? :/ i really dont get it.

When will they return, you reckon? I think the gods will probably show themselves again once Elona is re-introduced to GW. However, I’d like to ask how you think they will affect the other races? Will humans try to recruit them into their ‘religion’?

Man, norns are ugly.. I just realized it through the screenshot.

South i think sounds better.. Direction reminds me of One Direction :/

Im finding it hard to use the shatter build underwater.. are phantasm builds better in fighting underwater?

zortek.9607:

Shhhh… don’t tell anyone. But, since I’ve learned that we can add anyone (IDs) to our contact list, I’ve been adding respectable commanders to my contact list in-game.

So here’s a question for the thread: Who are the leaders you respect or appreciate?

Since the best leaders make the best followers, I encourage leaders to respond to the question too and point out their favorites. We might not know them by their toon names, so it may be helpful to reference them by their IDs.

Take a moment out of you day and say something encouraging about one of your leaders… what is a quality that they possess that inspires you?

I got interested in wvw because of 1 commander only. The Illusion from SoS. I joined TS after even though I am mostly PvE prior.

Man we’re having a hard time in JQ bl tonight.

It becomes even more illogical if you look at legendaries.. Not only do 2 handed legendaries cost less than 2 1h legendaries, they also look a lot better. Why make 1h legendaries at all?! O_O

I want mesmers to be fixed. :X and a mini fire elemental

We’ll miss them..
So far, SOS is doing relatively good although I’ve noticed the outmanned buff more frequently on me now than in the past weeks.

I have never used pistol as an offhand because everyone else uses it. :/

Wow so is it official? PRX left SOS?

yea humans have worse hair styles than norns. :/ i wish they’d add more hairstyles that don’t look so… weird.

lol those weapons are so tiny! :/ asuras really have it bad when it comes to weapons (and back gears).. Human all the way!

They should rename him the howling king instead. Seriously.

Mine is never on.. :/ Still, why would the game say it’s our firewall if it isn’t? Shouldn’t it just say it’s on maintenance instead? It confuses people like me…

Illusionary Weaponry… It’s the reason I made a mesmer in GW1.

Going to get CoE Chest next (last pic). Still looking for gloves and shoulders. Looking for classy yet understated. Simple but elegant. Any suggestions? I didn’t care for any of the Dungeon gloves (haven’t checked out shoulders yet).

Also not the best at dyeing my armor. Black looks good, but it isn’t very original. Some of the Color Scheme’s I have seen in this thread are very nice looking.

Hey how did you manage to take the necro eyes?!

Hmm im still not convinced as to what headgear I should use for Mockingbird…

Mockingbird’s Final Look achieved!

The Mexican Cookie.3690:

Why the hate on backstab

Thieves need some major kitten nerfing. We mesmers need some company.

Wow this thread has been terribly derailed.

I don’t understand why we have to use a rune set in order to be just as effective as other classes in chasing..

ANy changes on the minstrel? It’s the legendary that cries fro updates the most.

JQ is really bringing it this week. I feel like they might be able to take the top spot this time..

If GW2 was to implement race locked professions, what would you want Humans to have? I think Dervish would be perfect for humans-only profession because of the avatar elites…

Centaurs are evil. I can’t imagine them being thieves O_o

Has melandru been buffed? I sorta feel ‘tankier’ than I last used it.. It’s become the elite i use most in wvw recently.. If only they would make us big again. /sigh

Have there been any info as to whether Legendaries will have their effects/looks improved any time soon? Seriously, as much as I love the minstrel, it doesn’t evoke ‘legendary’ as much as say Bolt for example.

Are we gonna see any shuffling of servers in tiers next week if things continue to go as they are? Or are the matchups pretty much fixed for at least a couple of more weeks?

Has anyone tried if Phantasmal Haste maybe improves on this problem we have now?

frans.8092:

If there’s enough of them. Their intelligence increases with the number of Scritt together in a city, or hive or whatever it’s called.

Wow really? I don’t pay much attention to their story since I find them revolting.. Hmm that’s really interesting to know.

Whatever happened to all is fair in love and war?

It’s tactics. Plain and simple. It’s war guys cmon. Maybe if you are able to provide a better incentive in double teaming WITH you then it will happen?

Strategy, actually.

Tactics are localized plans. Mesmer portals would be an example of tactics in play.
flanking, positioning, coordinated ability use.

Larger, broad term battle plans are strategy.

What incentives would you be able to provide to get someone to 2v1 with you? We’ll leave strippers in the keep next time you cap it from us?

That’s a good start.

I say make ascended items easier to acquire. As of now I find grinding FotM boring, I’d much rather go to personal story or something to get ascended.

I think your guild will do well in either IoJ or SoR.. of course, SoS would love to have you as well!

Yea I remember that when we first got to tier 1 everyone was so friendly and stuff. I like it like that.

That’s only because they think they can crush you. Once you’ve proven yourself a threat the masquerade is dropped and the QQ begins. XD

Yea that was what i was trying to imply :p it’s easy to feign nicety when you know you are ahead. Pride is such a kitten.

Yea I remember that when we first got to tier 1 everyone was so friendly and stuff. I like it like that.

I just wish we would have the acknowledgment by Tier 1 as a peer/equal. We have so much respect for SBI and JQ.

5/10 because although I am not familiar with the name at all (probably holds meaning for the owner, but it doesn’t conjure enough visuals for me to place a backstory from my perspective)

My female mesmer is Mockingbird.

(Mockingbirds = They are best known for the habit of some species mimicking the songs of other birds and the sounds of insects and amphibians, often loudly and in rapid succession. )

Why is everyone so keen on skritts? Ugh I can’t stand looking on a rat’s tail all day when playing GW2 as a skritt *barfs

Naga and Largos is where it’s at! I also wouldn’t mind if they implemented a ‘race’ that gets wings when it casts skills (ala Paragon of GW1)

The biggest issue for me in wvw in terms of commanders is that i don’t want them to sound like they have a sense of self-entitlement over other people just because they were able to buy the icon. I have to admit, I sometimes deliberately ignore commanders who are such, and I try to make people around me follow me instead sometimes, just to spite him/her/it. :X

The problem Im having with leap is that even if your clone has moved a bit to chase a target, using swap after causes you to appear around the area your clone initially ‘lands’ when summoned.

I miss daish. He was really funny. I bet you guys in SBI are motivated whenever he goes online..

I wanna ask, will 2 superior runes of energy (1 per set to get energy per swap) benefit a shatter build or is it better to just have 1? particularly with glass cannons.

if your concern is removing conditions on yourself, then i think mantra of concentration is the best skill to carry.
