Guild Wars 2

What is the most useless build I can make with any armor runes weapons sigils for wvw , just because

I want to run into a Zerg and just bunker just because, not gonna contribute to anything, don’t even have to attack if I don’t need to, just wanna juggernaut it into the Zerg and have people chase me for no reason and run back out

It doesn’t need a boon removal if it hits, it needs that SAB explosion finisher thingy if it hits cause it’ll be a miracle if it does hit and deserves a firework like celebration

Iiterally hopped into eb, killed a sentry and yak on the way to sm and killed some people during a Zerg clash inside and got it , went wtf , looked into the achievement panel and just shook my head…

So does anyone which condition gets removed from these, the last that got applied, first, random?

even though the new arcing slice is a bit.. suck kitten in the damage department, I feel like its a very reliable condition cleanse with CI just cause of how easily it is that I can use WWA to get rid of a blind and to set up AS, im going to try to get the new Sigil of Cleansing for my hammer and see how good it works with brawlers recovery

So I’ve been getting a lot of whispers in game because of this, just wanted to say again that it was just a vague opinion, I understand a lot from both sides as a thief and warrior, I’m not asking for a straight up nerf or anything I’m not suggesting any compensation of any sort, I just wanted to see other peoples opinion

Yea I just deleted around 15 karma items with expensive runes and sigils on it… I logged off and cried for a minute but don’t tell anyone

Well you can kitten it up the kitten cause imma still play warrior cause it’s fun, too many crying “warriors”

Just wanted to get that of my chest

Thank you, Please move on

I personally feel like there’s something similar to that with drop rates, it seems like I’ll go for a while without getting anything then I get like 5 exotics at once and then back to nothing for a while.

The one thing you can do is change your hot keys. The skills will still appear on the same order on your bar. But the key strokes for them can be changed to suit your play style.

Yes, I did that, but it’s awkward to see them represented in the “wrong” way.

U can always tape a piece of paper with the pictures of the icon on ur monitor so that it is in the right order? …

First off I play both so I’m not really biased towards either thief or warrior, but since those are the only 2 I play I’ll compare these 2 only. But I feel like with the changes to adren, then thief needs to be revealed if their attack from stealth gets blocked also it’s pretty much the evuivelant IMO.

I’m sure this has been brought up before somewhere but I’m on my phone at work and it’s hard enough to read through the forums, just wanted to see everyone’s opinion on this and feel free to bring up other stuff from other professions

@Loading
If the set Sw/Wh is mainly used to get out of a situation, wouldn’t a 2sec chill be better than a small heal (and then Sw #2 to jump out the area)?
I see for the Hammer you prefer a less dmg-based approach, so that is your personal choice. I still believe though that paralisation and stamina serve the same purpose of keeping you alive “longer”.
Just food for thought.

yea I see what u mean with the chill, but I just feel like sometimes IMO theres so much condi cleansing, imo a small heal on urself and ally in range, even though a random aoe will just bring it back down outweighs a condition on your target and get cleansed.

and for the hammer, I ran with paralization for a while, but I noticed in the initial clash between the zerg, theres so much aoe that extra stun wouldn’t make a difference because their either burned down before the stun is gone or they’ll break the stun and have stability, and for chasing down people after that, its more of a good timed cc than a longer cc, even though a extra helps.

that’s why I opted into something that would benefit my zerg more, even if its that little bit, cause if u have a cced target and nobody to help you take em down then whats the point

just wanted to point out also, I usually run with the pug mindless zerg and not any organized guild, that’s why I have those opinions on it

this is y setup for sigils for my zerg build, but its just how I play it

hammer – leeching, water
sw/wh – energy, renewal

I sit in hammer more and I tend to jump at people to cc my teamates are fighting with already so I feel like the water helps that much more, and leeching is nice, it gives u a nice boost in heal and damage while im ccing my targets to kinda jump start my HS and adrenal health if my hp is down. its like a small heal, and then the passive heal takes over while my target cant do anything. for the sw/wh I use it when I need to get out so renewal gives u and anyone around u a small heal, and with wh clearing conditions, and energy helps with more dodging since im trying to get out.

Just make a giant norn in all celestial dye showing as much skin as you can, half the Zerg would follow you just to adjust their camera angles… >.>

Back when there use to be a million people doing jormag, I once got a level and a half on one of my chars just rezzing people, that’s pretty rewarding I would say…

How bout something like CI but grants u boons instead? ( sounds OP)

The new meta is going to be a bunch of mesmers stacking so it looks like one Mesmer, and when the Zerg runs thinking it’s going to be a fair 1 vs 40 the mesmers uses their scepter auto attack and makes a million clones and torments the Zerg to death that’s running towards them. It’s gonna just be like the scene from 300 with the rhino that’s charging towards the one guy and the rhino dies right in front of him.

Effective enough to keep people busy and annoy the crap out of them

Should we get more traits that reward us for spending adren? Cause most of our traits reward us for keeping adren, but what if something like berserkers power is the complete opposite , u get rewarded for spending your adren, would that encourage us to use our burst skills more?

I know there’s still stuff like , the. There would be mindless burst spamming, some burst would still be crap etc..

But like I said, just something I thought of, bored, and wanted to start a topic at work

how about a leap where u spin your staff above your head like a helicopter and fly off into the sunset?

I always thought that this game needed an 8 man team for anymode, but the thing is it has to be 1 of each class, that should be interesting to see IMO

Advent.6193:

• Mesmer used to be hella effective in zergs

Warrior

You can use hammer like how some people said or if u wanna go range use a longbow and spam 3 and burst, that gets you a lot of tagging also for loot

Oh yea that’s right I forgot that it also gives u adren, been using sig for so long, I just remembered that it was stronger the more adren u had

Am I missing something here or….

Don’t u automatically regen hp when ooc anyways so what’s the point if using a heal?

Don’t use karma or wvw tokens because you can’t salvage those, just do dungeons for tokens and with the gold earned u can buy more pieces

Warrior is eSiest IMO for pve

And surprisingly I would say a thief spamming death blossom

Sometimes I want even less of a wooden sword, like a tree branch or something …

Eotm till around maybe level 50 or 60 then finally start doing all your story quests and you’ll be 80 before … Shivers* the claw island one that takes 50 years to finish

Lornars pass , enough said…

Illusionary leap swap-eviscerate to make my blurred frenzy and shatters that much more painful

Edit : I guess final thrust instead since it’s a sword?

Irrelevant but…
On my warrior I just stand there with my healing sig and adren health and autoattack… If the bleeding gets overwhelming I just clear it with my warhorn

Just from my personal experience , playing a warrior and thief from the start, with a very in your face aggressive play style , i just recently started a mes with a pu build to just get familiar with the class, but I just went full zerk shatter and that was when I felt how the class should be played, a defensively aggressive play style , if that makes sense…

so if I have e.g. 55% condition duration, and say runes of krait that gives bleeding an extra 45%, that makes bleeding 100% duration but every other condition just 55%?

Now we have chickens playing mesmer. Where will this class go next?

(I’m sorry. I’m not a native english speaker and I find the use of that word to describe a person quite distasteful)

…what?

I second that what

How about

Use all 3 of your utilities at once, does not share cooldown with the actual utility insert cooldown timer here

This is just my opinion on how anet think this works,

119% x (mf%*19% crit chance + some other math and numbers) = missed because of a block or dodge because they couldn’t figure out how to make that 19% work underwater

Edit : just took a sip of coffee so I can think clearer and still think what I said is pretty accurate

From a wvw pov, the warrior just has so many weapons and ways to build it, I find it fun to always experiment. I’ve used every weapon in anyway i can think of, even a gs for a condition build, sure the gs itself isn’t a condition weapon, but with traits and so many other weapons and armor combos, I’ve used it to compliment another weapon for a condition build. It may not be the most effective but with so many different things to experiment with, if u can afford and don’t mind, there’s a lot of fun in that department.

I guess that makes sense since when I usually fight a mes I can tell except for when they’re invis or blinking to the other side of my screen, worst than a thief sometimes..

I suppose it’s that mentality of mines from playing a new class on how it’s “suppose” to be based on the description..

So my chick just started playing and used a bunch of gems and gold and xmute stones and makeover kits on a Mesmer since that’s what she wanted to play… I would say around 200g of stuff already… And the Mesmer is only level … 13 -_- lol… But not gona get mad over a game…

I have never really got into playing. Mesmer but I guess since it’s already this far deep into investment I might as well play it also,

Aside from actually playing the class which I’ll get down, how can I act like a clone to trick people even more?

Tips like walking stopping turning how to act more like a clone NPC to confuse people even more?

Zerker Longbow sword/warhorn

Longbow burst and 3 then swap to blast might and leap for fire aura for more might while autoing with sword for more tag and adrenaline to use ur longbow burst and 3 again

For a sec, I thought that this was a new warrior skill….

Remember the good ol’ days when we use to abuse culling and CnD inside the enemy Zerg picking off people?

It was harder IMO to choose because of ascended gear and legendaries, but now that they’re account bound , it’s really just who do you want to gear and costume out first, which isn’t that hard, but I would get a zerk warrior first because it’ll make farming easier to gear out all your other chars

All they have to do is make any kind of pet just like the risens in Orr , cause apparently those risens will just follow anything that even looks like it will move and never go away

I main hammer myself also, but even for pve I prefer to switch to a gs, pretty much because I’m not worried about the dps, but the hammers utility isn’t really needed so I might as well boost my dps. The only time I bring out my hammer is for those moments in pug groups when we’re running to skip trash mobs and someone can’t make it like ac and ta… It makes me feel like captain America leading helpless civilians to safety lol?

I know the general opinion on this trait is that it sucks, but ive been playing with this trait just trying to make something fun, and I was wondering if anyone has a build that use this so I can keep trying new stuff.

ive been wanting to put this to use in wvw, but im only playing with it in spvp. im not worried about anything that’s super optimized and this is what im playing with atm.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fRAQNAndWjc0UbbvNm3webinhS6IIAa2p3gPIDo6HA-TJxHABIXGQgnAwZ7PAwpAAA

it turned out tankier than I thought, the only thing is theres not much condition removal so immobilize sucks, but as for the other conditions, it seems like I just outheal it or let my DS take the dmg.

yea like I said, just wanted to try out things other people have been trying with this

Wolfield.9812:

Or the skill actually works…

Let’s be realistic here… I think chances of skills working, or adding particle effects to the wire … Which is more likely to happen?

2 sets of eyes >.>

Was awesome to watch reminds me of when I use to play with my friend and our monitors was next to each other, was kindof like having 2 eyes
