Guild Wars 2

it is a bit wierd and awkward to land, but the damage is pretty great for those few of us who play hammerzerker XD

agreed! its so much better now that Skyhammer has had everything removed that made it skyhammer, i no longer cringe when it gets picked 1 v 9 XD

unranked FTW now

let them hate!
i play p/p zerker too and absolutely love ambushing people with 10k unloads :P

its a problem with all similar skills like Vault
hopefully they can fix it

i play fun mess around builds (in unranked)
my favourite at the moment is Hammer zerker,
spamming 5k crits with a cc spamming weapon

also fun is shout bunker with every regen you can muster,
and ofcourse GS zerker

i still use turrets sometimes in unranked for the lulz,
its sometimes surprisingly good XD (in unranked)

hells yeah! nothing like landing those gigantic crits and watching the enemies drop
highest damage i’ve ever done in Spvp was a 32k 100b

i think necro is actually in a far better state for diversity than any other class,

you can play MM, you can play condi, you can play power, you can play terrormancer.

i even do surprisingly well as a vanilla d/w wellomancer using blood/spite/soulreaping!
melts things really fast.

Offhand Axe:
you already know what we’ve been suggesting for YEARS…
add the reflect that thieves get when they steal Whirling Axe!

buff Shout heals, they’re outdated due to powercreep, everyone deals far more damage than they used to.
this could be done by increasing the scaling with healing power.

merge warrior sprint with another trait (many recommend fast hands)

i have NEVER seen anyone with the aetherized weapons , and they’re never on the TP.
also until Anet decided to give them out for rares in the mystic toilet the 2012 halloween skins were really rare to see.

RoseofGilead.8907:

I have a hard time seeing RNG gem store purchases as “prestige” items.

they were unobtainable, very few in circulation, making them some of the rarest items in the game, and they were valued far higher than the dime-a-dozen “legendaries”.
how is that not prestigious?

now they’re the outcome of mixing a bunch of cheap common items…
its like taking a steaming dump on the mona lisa.

2012 halloween skin prestige ruined. bravo anet, another unique item sullied.
and to those saying “it was never guaranteed not to return” actually anet said long ago that they weren’t brining them back because they didnt fit the theme of the game,
no i don’t have a source because it was so long ago, but i guess we shouldn’t be surprised with Anet changing their direction like the wind.

Rirgul.5302:

You’re best off going for:

Dagger/Warhorn

A heal
Well of Suffering
Well of Corruption
Something flavoursome

Blood Magic for reduced wells and increased surviveablity from life siphons. It DOES add up when using warhorn.

You can use Death Magic to get rid of your condi’s
Soul Reaping to just spam 1 in Death Shroud with 100% crit chance.
Spite to get more damage. (especially in Death Shroud)
Curses to get a much higher crit chance (You can pop in and out of shroud to get Fury to crit more)

As for gear, Use beserkers,

woah, that is my spec too, exactly! XD
i rune mine spite/blood/soul reaping

people already whine about long queue times, imagine the queue times for players of popular classes if this rule was bought in?!

BeepBoopBop.5403:

good

this^

it just didn’t mesh well, it was getting farmed by premades,
it just became a big flustercluck of AoE spam,
and inevitably ended with one team spawn camping the other team for 5 minutes.

also stronghold is an extra option that can be ticked, it isn’t forced into the rotation (which is good), noone is forced to do stronghold,
i wouldn’t mind courtyard getting an option like this.

as someone who plays exclusively unranked i look forward to the faster queue pops!

Mesmer without a doubt imho.
i hope you like resummoning your illusions for every freaking mob you fight!
plus hardly any aoe outside of swinging away with sword in melee XD

i wish they’d change how illusions work, make them persistent and follow you.

i dunno, i think its pretty fine

throw in 3 shouts and you have another 5k(ish) every 15 secs
i’m even using dolyak runes in my build, for teh lulz XD

Praise Akatosh! we have our fireballs back!

as someone who was already playing p/p glass cannon i’m laughing my butt off now hurling out 15k Unloads in Spvp XD
thanks Anet for adding might to my spam skill!

the Adrenal Health change is amazing, 6-7k health every 15 seconds, and you’re not punished for spending adrenaline now!

sucks that shout heals weren’t buffed, but atleast adrenal health got this whopper buff

i hope Anet learn from this if we ever get more maps.
we don’t want gimmick instadeath mechanics,
if new maps are added, keep them simple.

theres a reason that forest and foefire are the favourites, no cannons, no instadeath.
simple maps with simple secondary mechanics.

the best change for skyhammer would be to remove it from unranked and pretend it never existed.
just like the farmfest that was courtyard,
let people make custom servers for it if they want.

tl;dr
the more gimmicks on a map, the less we like it.
keep it simple.

Fat Disgrace.4275:

Flare was single target, fire ball is adjacent.

most returning skills from GW1 are multi-target now.
Final Thrust GW1
Final Thrust GW2

because i spent my fortune buying all of the old unobtainable skins which are now miraculously dirt cheap on the auction house >_<

before this meta i had an alt who i used to play perma earth attunement for stoneheart
and i used bleeds and burns, signets gave a pretty decent spike (back then)
it wasn’t the best build back then but it could beat most things 1v1

power creep has left it behind however, i doubt it would work.

CLEGANEBOWL!
wait wrong forum?

yeah makes me a little sick to have grinded my butt off to buy it for 1,200g in 2012,
seeing it for freaking 300g recently?! WTF…
there were something like 7 of them in the market for years, and now theres loads…

i smell something fishy…

HoT made thief more awesome in every way for me.
i play p/p, i now get stealth on demand from blackpowder and dodge

i also LOVE dodge and vault spam XD

i run GS + sw/sh, its the ultimate “get out of dodge” spec, it lets me play full zerker and then slip away if i’m taking too much damage.

between GS 5+3 and sword 2 you have a ton of manoeuvrability

the down side is that you’re limited pretty much to GS for offence,
sword #3 is a tasty on lower health targets though

its the only way i can ditch warrior’s sprint and still feel mobile.

dream patch? Ricochet comes back as baseline

this is pretty much how i imagine the whole of Anet lol.

dogged march needs its ICD removed/dramatically lowered.
shout heals need increasing to deal with power creep, 1k healing is hilariously low.
perhaps, just perhaps give warriors access to protection!

this comes to mind
ridiculously high dmg burnzerker

plus armours! GW1 had some awesome (and sexy) armours

also bring back Fort Aspenwood!

Kraljevo.2801:

Revert shout heal nerfs while you are at it.

yes, buff the heal!
i used to play shout bunker in pvp, you’re healing 4-5k max from shouts every 20 secs,
that used to be decent,
but now with power creep thats like 2-3 attacks from most classes now.
so aslong as you only get hit twice in 20 seconds its great! otherwise hahahahahaha…no

eduardo.1436:

Travel items:
The magic carpet
The riding broom
The Sonic tunneling tool

I would want more buuuuut yeah no one really uses these……..or am I wrong?

What IF Anet releases a new one just as an experiment to see how much it sells?

but the real travel toy is Executioner’s Axe! , it used to turn my 20 min keyruns into little over 10 min keyruns :P

no idea what is going on there, they must have been stacking major direct damage reduction.
my warrior deals ridiculously high damage, i don’t think it is warrior that is the issue, but other class’s sustain.

the damage of lightning hammer and FGS are great,
frost bow is usually only used for #5 stun and #4 aoe,
flame axe is used mostly for blast finishers
i haven’t used earth shield enough to comment.

they aren’t really suitable for roaming since you’ll run out of charges and have to run back to pick up the extra weapon.

Potato Slayer.3107:

- Berserker
Dead or Alive: Upon taking fatal damage, cannot be reduced below 1 health while berserking (90 second recharge). Enter berserk mode and activate dead or alive when activating revenge.

i got that far down ;-3
that is crazy OP, 15 second god mode lol

they expect you to buy 3 tools for each of your 8+ chars obviously,
inconvenient convenience items.

personally i think they should make it like the hellfire gloves etc, when you unlock them you can go to a tab and get them on any char.

i want Drago’s Flatbow back, that thing was huge

also, i miss my Bonecage Scythe could make a groovy hammer skin with a little change

Liewec.2896:

NEVA!!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s not real damage is it?

yus :-3
i play full zerker GS (for teh lulz) XD

Almost 100k damage?!
What’s the build?

oh its a channel skill, the whole skill dealt 32k dmg in total
each hit of channel skills gets added on to the number
it would be quite hilarious hitting for 18k per swing XD

NEVA!!!!!!!!!!!!

its sad that everyones argument against more armours is “money”
the players can’t be happy because the company wouldn’t be making as much money…
they’d still be making lots of money, but not grabbing as much as with easy cashgrabs.

you’re thinking way too much about whats profitable for Anet
and way to less about what’s good for the players.
are you gamers, or are you employees?

i play zerker p/p all the time in pvp and it leads to some hilarious moments instagibbing people :-3
with daredevil you actual get some survivability too since you can Bound through Blackpowder to get stealth

the only possible way to make skyhammer less frustrating is to remove all of the “quirky” things you made the map for.

the edges need to go, the glass panels need to go, THE SKYHAMMER needs to be changed into a mere ornament.

gimmicks in pvp are frustrating, plain and simple, as long as skyhammer contains the gimmicks it will remain frustrating when that 1v7 map vote decides to troll the 7.

Necro: Vanilla Ice – Ice Ice Baby
Warrior: Weezer – Why Bother?

no racial skills (outside of a handful) are useful.

for humans hounds are “meh” ok.
but i’d probably only use them on a class like ele with lame elites.
