I only want that no one want to make me change my class when i enter a dungeon or go in spvp why I’m a necromancer.
Start by blocking those people. Improves the overall experience.
The only issues I have had with the necro is from other people meta-raging. Otherwise, I am having a blast with the class.
that minion builds don’t dominate GW2 like GW1 and lifesteal is ummm terribad
Well that is because you do not use one or the other. Life-steal minions Woo!
I think it is interesting to complain about losing idenity when every complaint about the necro boils down into wanting it to be like every other class.
I think warriors are fine, but I will acknowledge some weaknesses.
PvE has a damage > everything else meta, and wars have the highest armor and base health. The meta doesn’t decide dev balance so wars do less damage than the glass classes. More advance PvE meta understands Boons/Blinds > Base Damage > Everything else. Wars have like one Blind and can only give Fury, Might, and Regeneration. They can apply stability to themself. Wars do have unique support via shouts and banners. Unfortunately shouts require trooper runes to get the most out of them and healing power to really make use of the healing. Banners are just raw stats. So although good in PvE they are boring.
PvP is a different beast. I’ve seen M/S and GS builds, but for the most part it seems like X/bow is the meta, and in PvP the meta is far more important. In PvE the meta is for how fast you clear to “win”. You don’t have to follow meta to do the hard content (actually the hardest content you won’t want zerk because you won’t know the dodge patterns). In PvP the meta is about whether or not you win.
I liked the idea of burst damage for condi’s over cap.
A branching story that is good almost goes hand in hand with procedural generated. For example, in shadow of mordor, I remember particular Orcs by name. Orcs that no one but me ever faced.
In GW2 all the content is crafted. Branching paths leads to wasted dev time, or Walking Dead smoke and mirror choices where your choices only feel like they mattered when they actually don’t, or the Mass Effect 3 route where decision were given a fixed number to affect the outcome in a binary way.
That fact you use a bloodlust sigil confort me in my opinion though.
If you are celi, you should never lose stacks.
My build self maintains 77% crit, so i could replace bloodlust for accuracy but the greater power seems more important on a celi build.
OP is right, whether you agree or disagree with the way he plays. This is an obvious flaw with the LFG system and should be fixed.
Agreed.
Maybe you shouldn’t be joining a zerker experienced speedrun with your apoc geared shadow arts thief.
I’ll join exp speedrun groups with non zerker gear. I won’t join zerker exp speedruns without zerker gear because that isn’t what they ask for.
When I see a lone guy asking for “5k+ AP zerk exp speedrun ping gear!” I join that party, block the dude and then leave. I don’t want to play with such people. I am disappointed at finding out that that action doesn’t remove them from joining my party via LFG.
Really wish we could see people’s gear and specs
Sure. Lets open up another window for discrimination. As if AP and gear pings weren’t enough.
Nah, being able to see peoples specs/gear would actually be a real indicator of someone’s competence or ability to read LFG descriptions.
No it just opens up the possibility of people who think they know everything about the game to rant at people who DARE do something different.

Ever notice how people tend to ask for AP thresholds they themselves only barely pass?
As someone who does run celestial armor + trinkets + weapons + divinity runes + birthday cake, I can say it works just fine.
You are a monster of stats. I run sigils of strength and bloodlust to boost the lacking power stat which makes my attacks hurt.
It’s not zerker damage, but it’s close enough that I do not mind. (I don’t join zerker-only LFGs with it, but I will join speed-run lfgs)
I think anyone who asks for gear pings deserves this.
I join such lfgs to block the group leader then i leave.
Post what you want (if you want specific things), then trust people.
You realize that you’re an example of why people can’t trust other players all the time, right? On one hand you’re saying people should just blindly trust other players, but on the other hand you’re advocating the act of trolling people who post requirements that you don’t like.
I said they deserve it. Not that I would personally do it or think people should do it.
Asking for gear pinging is toxic, it’s why I block people who ask for it.
It sounds like ANET is overhauling the game with HoT.
There is a lot of depth to this game, but It seems to me most of depth can only be appreciated in PvP
i was wondering what people think of a a full acsended gear (armor/weapons/rings/back/accessory) + the divinity rune? (for pve)
what do u guyz think? bad? good?
Zerker is meta.
I prefer Celi builds for newer-to-me-content where I cannot predict the enemies every move minutes in advance. I’ve been practicing it recently for HoT.
The key to celi is to make use of all your stats. It’s even better on 2+ year old chars because of Birthday cake basically acting like another trinket.
Indeed, babe, indeed.
P.S. Since the only way to get AR is through ascended gear (you can’t see the infusion on the pieces, but oh well) and pinging gear is such a terribly toxic thing to do/ask for, I wonder what’s the PHIW’s modus operandi in pugs? Just pray everyone has enough AR? Ask, hoping they can read/don’t lie?
OHHHH, aye, I forgot. The answer is “I’m such a good and selfless person that I don’t mind carrying 3 people with 0 AR through a fracs 30, I can support them with my healing build or solo encounters anyway!”
Not necessarily untrue, I’ll give ya that.
Post what you want (if you want specific things), then trust people.
If in fractals and someone is auto-dying from agony then you kick them and replace them with someone who doesn’t lie (and is rewarded for that by having to do less of a fractal).
If zerking through dungeon, asking for a ping makes zero sense. The whole point of zerk is to run fast and pinging gear waste time.
Uhhh you can just play sPvP for tomes of knowledge after buying basic weapons in the starting zone.
I’d be happier than you if we never had to meet in game.
Oh I doubt that.
I for one also support not showing blocked people in LFGs. I block people to avoid them. I’d rather not just end up in groups with them.
Made a post in LFG for Fractals
“Scale 30 swamp | Zerker | Ping gear on join”
Guy comes in, stands there doing nothing while orbs are being run. Doesn’t say or so anything, so we kick him.
Relist the run. Same guy comes in. Starts running toward Bloomhunger without saying anything, and doesn’t ping gear when asked.
Kicked again. This continues 4-5 more times, even when we try to delay relisting it (including killing Bloomhunger 4man) We’d list the run and he’d join it again right away.
Why is this clear and utter failure of the block system allowed to persist for so long?
I think anyone who asks for gear pings deserves this.

So it’s time for a new alt and I chose warrior over the guardian because of their adrenaline concept and utilization of weapons.
But I see all this hate for the Warriors and apparent nerfs they received. I wanna play a zerker build in PvE (dungeons and fractals) and play whatever’s viable in PvP.
Should I roll or stick to my pew pew ranger??
You are asking the worse place for such an opinion. Try asking people in-game or in your guild or friends who play the game.
Online forums are where people tend to go to complain. It’s like going through just the one-star reviews on amazon.
Aetherpath isn’t that hard. It just takes lots of coordination.
Oh and since it is not done much, zerk-ing through it can be difficult.
It’s a lot like arah path 4. My best runs through it were when the new people were not in zerk and only the people who have done it tons of times were in zerk. New people in full zerk on these paths tend to just be dead weight.
Well running past all the mobs in dungeons just got harder.
I approve of this change and look forward to it.
yeah!
next time i’ll be doing a content/dungeon/etc I’ll ask for tips to put a fire field , and blast it , to give you might&fury so you can do the content/dungeon/etc faster .
I think this expresses why tipping is silly.
If you want money for something, then charge.
People who are AFK shouldn’t get reward by being near events.
Require participation to get rewards.
If there is no incentive to perma AFK, then far less people will do it.
Thought:
Have the trait be as you pass adrenaline thresholds, you gain might stacks.
This encourages rapid use of burst skills and adrenaline gain. It also might make something other than greatsword combo well with phalanx strength.
Point remains that you’re demonizing and generalizing an entire group because of some kittenes. These kittenes aren’t only in the dungeons though, the amount of negativity in map chats anywhere there is a good loot farm is just insane. “kittening idiots, you’re supposed to let this event fail, god learn how to play!” Should I read that and assume the entire open world PVE community is nothing but a bunch of kittens?
I love blocking those people too.
Like anyone who is salty from the lack WP-ing of the dead in the silverwastes.
I sort’of like the Toxic LFGs. It allows me to join groups and block the leader, thus saving me from ever having to deal with such a person again.
(I then leave the group)
Let’s not mistake arrogance with skill.
Toxic players tend to be bad at the game.
The really good players could just solo the dungeon anyways so things like a pugs AP/gear/skill/experience is completely irrelevant.
Thats my piece- it saddens me that i have wasted a week with a class which i thought had a completely different play-style than what i was expecting. This will be my last post here as i will no longer be attempting to play this class any longer.
A week? So you played pvp only? Maybe uplevel’d in WvW?
Confused by thread.
You can buy gems.
Salvaging saves space
You can deposit mats to your bank at anytime.
18 slot bags are fairly affordable.
You can make bank alts
You can sell to the TP from anywhere
You can effectively store items on the TP
I humbly suggest that people just play the game rather than watching streams or going to meta-build websites.
I am only here because my real computer is several blocks away and I have some time to kill mid-day.
The first vinewrath I fought dropped the chest piece.
I thought it was automatic and stopped after the first time.
Until I got another one, and another one, and so on.
I get the feeling that the x-pack is coming out in april. I can wait.
Ew this whole thread.
I only look at the wikki when I don’t want to spend time on trial and error.
1) Blaming others for an event fail is silly. You could have played better, brought/made a good guild, or spammed advice before the fight.
2) Don’t expect explanations
3) Don’t expect people to dropped everything they are doing to res you. It is always a gift.
4) Don’t expect people to wp.
GW2 has attracted a certain bunch of idiots. I don’t remember ever doing daily dungeons in GW and seeing GWAMM’s ONLY or getting ridiculed for not having R10 Luxon/Kurzick when doing associated activities.
You’re not a bad player, you’re just playing with bad people (aka whiney kids with lots of time on their hands).
RX requirements were very common. Especially lightbringer.
But those tended to have actual mechanical effects.
I saw a player with Twilight and less than 3K AP.
Asking for an AP threshold is just being ignorant.
AP has nothing to do with swiping your credit card or grinding out legendaries. Granted AP is a dumb way to get experienced people but its the only way we really have of weeding out people who are going to drag parties to the ground. Also odds are someone with 15k AP is going to be more experienced in more content then someone with 500.
Now granted Ive seen people with 5k AP that just make people with 20k look like brand new but still. Also some of the best runs of dungeons Ive ever done were with people who had around 10k AP and e of the worst have been people with 20k. APs arent a great way to measure skill. AP never have been and never will be a good way to measure skill. Only play time really.
Have you calculated how expensive a legendary is to buy? If he really just dumped gems to gold for one, I will personally carry his sorry kitten as a thank you for his significant support of ANET.
I get it. You bought enough slots that you could have just bought a different account. With time gating you could have made more progress with more accounts.
Ascended gear is account bond though. So in theory you only need 3 sets to out-fit all of your characters.

i don’t recall people whining about 100b specifically very much.
EoTM and tomes of knowledge have really help me diversify my chars. I have an 80 war, ele, and engineer. My necro is sitting at 59 right now.
I can’t stop playing my war.
A channel skill that requires you to stand still and applies no CC is weak in PvP? Surely you jest!
You should res people. People should get res’d.
It’s quicker to res someone than it is for them to run back. You then have that person back in the fight.
Now if you are getting downed a lot, considered taking off some of the zerker gear. I’d rather you did like 33% less damage and not die, than to do that extra damage and be dead half of the time. Corpses do less damage than Nomads. (On flip side, if you find yourself never dipping under 80% HP, you could put on some more damage)
Lastly, I’d rather people take risks for tactical advantage, then to play it safe because they don’t want to risk the WP walk.
We may want to live up to that “nicest community” title.
It’s not faster if the person doing the rez gets killed. It’s not helpful to everyone doing the event if it lowers the DPS enough that the event fails due to not being able to get the boss to 0 HP before the timer ends.
Rezing fully dead people when you are in combat (which you would be during a boss attack) takes forever and a day. During which time you are immobile. Meaning you can’t dodge or move out of a red circle. That leaves the person rezing in a dangerous spot for forever and a day.
I don’t know about your character, but mine can’t take being hit for forever and a day and remain alive.
Why is one person rezing?
When I press F, I should see the “target has too many resseructers” message.
And if you can’t res without dying, then don’t.

As far as I can tell the class only has problems on the forums, and not even on all of the forums. Just this one, where a few posters actively QQ on every thread.
In game and according to all the real people I talk with, Warriors are great.
<endless QQing>
Here is what I have seen. The same few people posting the same complaints, each citing each other about “dem maths”.
The same few people? I’ve posted on the warrior forums collectively about 3 times or 4 times but ok. And yes it is about “dem maths” I’m sorry I like to play the game effectively, that’s whats fun to me and when a class that I once enjoyed gets ruined of course it’s going to upset me, and what upsets me the most is the ignorant celestial warriors trying to justify that they know what they are talking about. I’m sorry I don’t feel like playing recycled content over and over again only to see it getting slower and not faster because “omg zerk meta is stupid nerf pls, it’s toxic to the game.”
So really your just mad that zerker war got a damage nerfed? Well sorry that people are not calling the game “Warrior Wars” or set up LFGs asking for “zerker wars only pls” anymore. I’ve tried to steer clear of the zerker war meta because I knew that it was going to get nerfed very hard for how dominant it was.
*Oh and I totally have and run a zerker set. I prefer my celestial build though.

You sacrificed any potential for your posts to have merit when you claimed celestial warrior to be effective in dungeons in that other thread.
Us “QQers” understand the class much more thoroughly and how it compares with the other 7, regardless of whether or not you agree with us.
1) Behold one of the few active posters I was talking about.
2) It is still going great for me. I switched up to dual swords, shouts, and a sigil of strength instead of force for quite the boost in damage. The direct damage is bit lower than my phalanx strength zerker kit. Arah paths are still a breeze. I still can’t solo defend a fort in the Silverwastes for all the waves >_<

what meta, i don’t see any meta….just some particle effects in a small place with ppl thinking they are pro players just because they still press 11111111 all the time……
hahaha this is exactly how I feel.
God people think they are so good at the game because they can glitch the AI, run past mobs, and stack in the right places.
