Guild Wars 2

I think they should be hard to get (like 1-2 years atleast with mediocre play).
50.000-75.000 dolyaks would be more realistic but still very challaging and rewarding to get.

big map would kitten WvW up imo.

I think the map design is utterly brilliant and I complimented the devs on it too when I saw the little details that added tons of action.

Some things need improvement, things get contested way to fast for example, would be better if 3+ people were needed to get something contested.

I’ll put it this way, a full tank warrior kills a full glass warrior.

Clerics is used by some in WvW to be worth more to their team (you have to multiplie the heal scaling by 5 for the aoe) than it can be worth while.

Going solo, don’t take clerics, you’ll lose way to much stats just to get a little bit better heal.

You shouldn’t go this tanky in Pve, mostly 2.8k armor is enough especially if you go food buffs and some crit rate. The shout/heal build is mainly used in WvW. Because if you go solo, you’ll take ages to kill things.

If you want to be support for dungeon raids, drop the second shield and take something that deals a lot of dmg. When you get focused, switch to shield for defence, when you ain’t taking dmg, switch to dmg dealing set (axe-mace or greatsword). Also, the shout/heal build would work in groups if you have some damage dealers.
You’ll be healing them for around 2.2k/ shout.

Why you pick soldier runes, I don’t know. Because you wont get a lot of conditions on you in PvE. Double shake it off (one traited) would suffice imo.

You could go axe-warhorn as second set up too, to give more speed to your party and the ‘5’ gives you 2 extra dodge rolls.

These are all suggestions ofcourse, I don’t know what your party really needs, you have to pick what seems fit to you.

Depends if you go PvE, PvP, WvW

But if you go shield in both setups you’ll lose 2 skill slots. If you swap clever, you don’t ALWAYS need that extra thougness. So I wouldn’t go double shield.

Red Guard is laughing their kitten off at this thread and I am laughing too and my guild mates laughed too. So we all had a good laugh.

Anyway, combine handful of warriors and guardians as backbone, give em a mesmer and 2-3 eles and you’ll be rolling everything in WvW. All of you go full glasscanon builds thinking you’ll kitten everything and get bursted down in a microsecond, no kitten…

Notice how they have tons of warriors? Not so bad after all?

Nothing o.O

The skillset of a warrior synergizes so good with it’s build.
Why take away bleed from the sword, it is forcing people to go all out power.
Why lenghten the leap of evicserate? Because you sometime miss it while brainlessly face rolling your keyboard?
Why up the dmg of the first tick of greatsword 100blades? Because you time it badly and people run away after the 2-3th hit?

The weapons are great and balanced and gives warriors many options for their builds.

No stability is the thing I wonder…
I find stability the most important thing in WvW.

You can earn easily 6-7g an hour with CoF if done right. There are better methods to make money, bit this must be in the top 5.

@danlarusso: Relax, ratings will be kittened up for everyone next week. Ruins of Surmia seem to get #1 if they’ll use the old rating system. And give us a break too, I raided sometimes for 36hours+ just because we need every man badly at night versus Vizuna’s night team. Many of us deserved a break and needed a break. The server transfer made our server high populated now too. So we need some time to get everything back up and organized again and this was the ultimate oppurtunity.

You guys may be outmanned I don’t know, but don’t let it hold you back. Every wvw guild wants to get better and improve. We have stayed in T1 for quite some time now, fights us and learn. We already learned some new tricks from you guys too :p.

And to Koa, thanks for the nice fights. You guys are improving and it still needs some work but you’ll get there. We need to learn a lot too and you guys were ideal sparring partners.

I have had kittenloads of fun past week and this week, you guys are way more fun to fight against than Vizuna who only camp in their T3 towers/keeps with full supply capped at night with little resistance. Although Vizu does give ton of cash in field battles because their great numbers :p.

hmm, u think once deso or sfr goes down, they wont come back up atall?

deso atleast has done it before :P

You still don’t get it ^^. We know you guys can come back to T1 with ease, we know we can do it too. We want to avoid 1 boring month of absolutely dominate our opponents.

Warriors in WvW are AWESOME. Buff em and they’ll be op. No I think warriors are balanced and thiefs need a slight dmg nerf.

underwhelming? o.O I one shotted more than ones players and they weren’t even all upscaled. I does the best burst in game (burst meaning the use of 1 skill).

SS 50 power!!!!

Haven’t noticed this, you probably have bad luck spree.
I once salvaged 7 rares too before the patch without ecto’s.

I don’t blame Viz for nightcapping, I would do it too. You have to use your strengths and abuse your opponents weaknesses.

They herefor have the best server in EU. But this doesn’t mean they have the best players or guilds.

And this doesn’t even matter, WvW is about strategy and teamwork. Not individual skill. If you are the best 1vs1 player, you can be as skilled as you like, if you don’t stick to your commander in zerg fights, you will die.

Give Vizu a brake, recruit some NA guilds and counter their nightcapping and we will see where they end up.

Disagree on larger maps, don’t get why people hate zergs and I love the concept that you can treb garrison from the towers.

Disagree on personal buffs or wvw stuff to get added for the ‘good’ players. WvW ain’t about individual skill, it is about teamwork and you already get buffs.

Disagree on more health for gates/walls (thought you wanted to discourage zerging, this encourages it), this will make nightcapping way to strong. It would take an entire day to get your stuff back. This means just a free win for Vizu.

Disagree on 1 type of swords, <3 ninja capping it is a great aspect of the game

Disagree on warrior carrying banner on back, that is plain OP. Learn to place em right in the ground and trait right for wider effect radius.

I make 1G on average in WvW and that can go up to 3G/hour when I raid with my guild.
I play +-12 hours WvW a day (in the vacation) and often find 15g extra in my backpack at the end.

So I am not complaining.

I love it, culling is almost non existent for me and thiefs got a lot easier.

It is atleast 100 people per map, we in T1 have had 100+ on a map already. So I think what they say, 133, is correct.

+50vs50vs50 zergs don’t give me lag.

Worst idea ever, if you don’t like zergs go play pvp.

Nice to see this amount of server dedication.

Those aren’t weels….

Those are dodecagons!

We at [VcY] love Vizunah, they are the best money farm there is. We killed 600 people in 1 hour. My loot bags were constant full. Made 10g that raid.

So don’t think we hate you Vizu and we’ll miss farming you at spawn next week. Will be a lot less money.

And Elona, having a great time with you guys on SFR border this night and last night.
Fireworks all the way, taking your tower without capping it :p, attacking Vizu when they cap your tower and break the gate so you guys could claim. Was awesome, best fun I had in WvW.

ps.: Vizu you guys on a brake? We can’t find your big zergs anymore.

Sure…Chuck Norris has to learn from you…

I can back this all up with a nice video, we are editing it now. And yea, we found chuck noriis dead in the tunnel at Bluelake ^^.

Oh and we are raiding again tomorrow, come and meet us if you dare.

Yep, culling got a lot better and love it.

It needs a little bit of tweaking like that every party leader or player with a commander badge (doesn’t need to be on) get’s priority when rendered. You don’t have to see all your own troops, your commander and the enemies are enough.
