You dont need to defend yourself Idarko, you added value to the
forums. Period.Coming from someone who has vast WvW experience, Ive seen
disruption disorganize the enemy more than just damage countless
of times. In addition, most zergs turn and run the second things
start getting disrupted.
Why defend.. He likes his spec and that is fine.. If others have different thoughts, good for them..
In the end play the way YOU have fun.. No need to max/min..
LOL guys.. Trojan Horse.. Wake up
Found it very hard to run real Wpvp without the warhorn. Not only for movement, but the long range aoe on the weakness is a major debuff that is often overlooked.
So maybe a swap to axe/wh with this build so you max your power and zerker gear for the bigger hits.
I know you want the jump for the might combo, but the base axe is going to beat hammer with might.
Never said GS is only way to go. I don’t use actually.
I run sword/warhorn and rifle. Shouts also.
Sorry but your dps is kitten poor and what control via the hammer? The snare? Run mace off hand and get longer, better CC with the knockdown and interrupt. Can run sword or axe main hand and bring more also.
The knockback is ok to stop stomps, but again mace off hand be solid there also.
You can’t talk shouts because ALL weapon selections can run that.
Plus have no range is a liability to your group. Being fair you might have lb or rifle and not shown it in the video.
I dont see that being very impressive.
DPS is really low and you spent 99% of the time just aoe tagging players and running back out. You added very little to the fight to be honest.
Stop bumping your post.. against the rules man.

If you click back button you can never back up to the main forum listing. you are always stuck on the most current sub forum
No they have an unfair ability to take a key supply camp. It is clearly a bug/exploit they are using.
No other supply camp, can an enemy scamper back 50 feet to a spot with the invulnerability buff.
Plus it is always the two guilds PK and RP doing it. We have sent in tons of SS, fraps etc..
I do understand your point that they are not out there, but they are also able to take the key camp easy or we have to babysit them and tie up our people.
Not like another supply camp you can siege them out of.
I would say why bother to farm badges since the gear is lousy, BUT we know Anet and next month they will be used for craft or buy something you have to have .
Course you will need 5000 of them or something /wink
Of the EB guilds PK and RP exploiting the bug at the SW camp and running back to the invulnerability bug on the hill..
Yak’s Bend would like to thank those two guilds for the class(less) way they play..
mesmer clones wont roll/dodge
mesmer clones don’t have off hand weapons
When mesmer clones rush you, dodge TOWARDs them
If you see mesmer and then two clones, he is NOT one of them.. Wait the 3 secs for real one to appear.
Ctrl T the mesmer also which lasts till he runs decoy or mass invisibility. If you are not grouped, just pick random solo guy in your guild that is in another zone. You can still Ctrl-T that way.
Of course keep f1 the pet on the real one.
Personally I don’t have issues with them as LB/GS (30 in BM). But then I mained one from beta till about 2 weeks ago. So knowing a class inside out, is a huge advantage to have.
The issue is that rune 6 does not work in any reliable way.
Go to mists and test it and see.
It has been posted and tested here a bunch.
I moved to runes of the thief instead. It is really easy to get the +10% damage while flanking/behind.
Cooking.. Farm the popular mats/food items to craft. Even simple things you can make via karma like peach filling (you can simple with peaches, sugar and like dough) sells pretty well.

The mats are not hard really.
I’ve created a S/D build, using 2x cats as pets and swapping them on cd. Stack toughness, healing power, condition damage, and vitality. The evasive nature of the build causes a ton of initiative wasting for thieves. Just gotta play this build balls-to-the-wall aggressive.
So far have not lost to a thief 1v1 in sPvP.
Why have condition damage with that spec? Just wondering, as I don’t see how it helps you with that weapon combo. (I have not seen Cond damage help pet bleeds either).
Bragging rights.
Bragging about a lucky roll of the dice. Stay classy.
Bingo..
I mean grats, but to post just to brag is silly.
Short bow + condition dmg + BM (jaguar+lynx)
stack bleeds and kite+laugh heartilly
sorry man but you honestly can’t be playing a ranger and post this.
1. They stealth and cure conditions
2. Pets have a hard time keeping up. When they do, thief CnD off pet and cures conditions.
3. Kite a thief? Ok again, no way you have faced one if you post that.
Well the new joy is seeing the guild RP from EB doing nothing but exploiting the “bug” behind redvale supply.
Got 10 of them that run back to the little spot on the hit for the invulnerability bug the second anyone comes. They don’t even try to roam, if they take it, they will run in and attack YB players retaking. The second they get pressure they run back and sit at that spot..
rinse and repeat.
Always that RP guild doing it.. Way to cheese
Also a nice game card for $50 from GAmestop would be good
Sorry but you forgot about drakes in Wpvp.
They have a very nice aoe attack along with strong f2. With guard you can throw on up on the wall or down on a ram and get massive aoe damage.
They are also pretty sturdy. I am not a fan of running around with one from point to point, but in keep take/defense, they are pretty solid.
Take one minute in Wpvp and see the TONS of players out there.. It is queued a ton..
read and ask on their forums.. better venue
I have had fun this week (Yaks player btw)..
My only “issue” is the few EB’ers that like to stay at the glitched spot south of Redlake supply. There is a little jut on a hill that gives you invulnerability buff.
So they run, tag and hit the camp and run back there if anyone comes. Of course they can fight but you can’t.
Now this bug might be on all maps, but no clue as I would never try it. Only see EB folks doing it.
Anet needs to fix that bug/exploit.
Outside of that,been a fun week. I don’t buy into the cry of hackers all the time. People complain the second they lose a fight/keep
Its not a bug or exploit. Also, I’ve seen yaks do it too, amongst many other servers.
It has to be a bug (no matter the server).. If you have one small spot that has the buff where you can’t be hit, that is a bug.
I know a ton and I mean ton of us reported it.. see what happens.
They need to NERF it more.. 5 man at most

40/60 vs them which is not that bad I guess
I am LB and GS with 20.20.0.0.30 build. Mostly valk stuff.
Rapid fire when you think they will stealth. Use your stun break of course. GS block really suprises them and hits like a truck.
Run double dogs for the two knockdowns.
I can get kills like I said 40% of the time. It could be higher, but there are times they get away and I am not going to chase them into a zerg.
honestly my biggest issue now is the 3-4 pack of guild rogues you see running around. No way you can beat that.

All there.. Read up
NOT again man..
6 pages of this.. Go there man..
I run shortbow with Zerker (GS as alt for movement).
That said, I am full BM.
So I run 0/30/0/10/30
Rune of ranger, last one with 5% is broken.
If you need a cheaper option, rune of the thief is really solid and the last one is 10% bonus to damage from back/side which is not horrible.
thanks all………
There are times, I click play now and get matches with say 4 total people
I cap something go to fight they say it is a duel, don’t fight etc.
Heck with that.. Red is dead and I will fight even if they gang up on me while the other guy(s) on my team stand around.
You can argue if someone should or should not “honor” duels all you want. To me, red is dead.
That said, I am asking Anet if that is ok, not bannable and/or harressment
I run rune of the thief. Price is solid and the effects work well
What do you point the last point into? The pet regen?
Trying out my ranger and 71, but just put points into BM and wondering..
I have felines bleed on crits (run two cats) and umm not 100% of the first one, but was something small.
Hitbox is and always should stay the same size no matter the size.
you want to scout, send out the right classes like thieves and mesmers.
There is NO advantage to racial size for hitboxes and that makes 100% sense
ack NEVER use a debit card..
It can be drained faster then you know if they bungle account security.
Just ask folks that played Warhammer Online and EQ1 or EQ2.
I learned back then to NEVER use a debit card for mmo’s. If you don’t have a credit card you can pay off without interest at the end of the month, get a pre-paid one to be 100%.
Centaur Runes + Healing Mantra ftw
Bingo.. I have 99% uptime on swiftness.. More when swiftness procs (have up to 45 seconds)..
Bingo.. I have 99% uptime on swiftness.. More when swiftness procs (have up to 45 seconds)..Zero issues and not gimped doing it either..
Bingo.. I have 99% uptime on swiftness.. More when swiftness procs (have up to 45 seconds)..Zero issues and not gimped doing it either..We don’t need more speed..
Sorry Lordyux, you want it all and not give up anything for it.. You want passive run speed, swiftness, our invis, our clones, our blink etc etc etc..
Basically you want to be op’ed , FOTM and EZmode… We are not..
Sorry man, but we are 100% fine in our mobility choices..
You want to have a run buff for no reason. You ignore all the other things we have..
Lol, you want Necro minions for their run buff?? You want rangers pet for their run buffs?
Lordryux, you are at the point of complaining to just complain… You want the old cake and eat it too.
Consider that the guardian staff has a lot of other good uses compared to the mesmer focus, and I’d say the Guardian is better than us for swiftness.
So a final comparison
Untraited: Guardian 53%, Mesmer 48%
Weapon Trait: Guardian 66%, Mesmer 60%
5pts in +boon: Guardian 75%, Mesmer 65%Guardian ftw.
Well you can’t go by that, because for perma swiftness, bunch of other classes are in same boat or worse then us.
Again, what do people want? highest uptime of swiftness OR 25% passive run buff?
Ok so what you want then is just a passive 25% run buff?
Running that trait, will gimp you worse then running MH/focus or rune sets.
There would be a TON better traits to use then that.
Remember that buff is only when out of combat. To catch anyone you still need a swiftness buff and/or blink to reach them.
If you argument is to have it to get from point A to point B, slot your focus for that and you are fine.
We have options that are 100% viable.
SO you want all our abilities AND 25% base run speed and/or perma swiftness.
Come on guys be real.
Plus I rather have my runes of centaur that help me in other ways then give up a VERY valuable slot for a passive run speed trait.
Without focus I have 99.9% uptime on swiftness with my runes of centaur. Again, without focus!
What more do you all want??
umm centaur and mirror heal is .5 sec downtime on swiftness. Gee think I can take that..
Plus centaur is not horrible rune set.
Some folks complain just to complain at this point
Well the advantage of using all 6 (or even 4) of a superior rune set is the last rune bonus.
If you want
+duration to boons, there are foods like the veggie pizzas that give same effect.
That gives you flexibility to slot the full or almost full rune set.
Spec dependent of course, but if you’re not running offensive shatter, then you’re playing the class wrong.
Trying not to derail the thread, but honestly, you can’t say “x class HAS to run x spec” or you are playing wrong..
I have a Charr..
Charr Broiled is his name.
Mind stab is only one that needs tweaking..
1. Leave it as in, but double the aoe range
2. Leave range same, but have it strip boons
3. Leave range same but have it strip boon, copy to you and allies in 400 unit range
I run GS/Staff hybrid (leaning towards power build, but some cond damage).
Works fine. Zero issues in all aspects of pvp (spvp and wx3)..
I run runes of centaur and sig of inspiration.
I am not slow and have perma swiftness.
No issues. And runes of centaur are not horrible as it helps you bleeds
Or am I just missing where to find it?
Love to have spell effects for me only (like a ton of other mmo’s)
I HATE the new dungeon. Hate it (repeat that 10x).
I will never be able to do a monthly if there are part of it like the last 3 months..
Guess what? That is a me problem. So if you don’t like the jumping puzzles, don’t do monthly. Clearly I am not gimped by passing on the last few months..
