Guild Wars 2

JQ accepts the bags.

I’m a fan of the canines for the most part also the owl isn’t bad at all.

I went to a Chinese buffet last week and wanted to grab some lo mein. I accidentally dropped the tongs on the ground and dodged back so they wouldn’t hit my bare foot (wearing sandals). I feel someone’s hand on my shoulder and it’s this really cheery looking old man. Think of the happiest old guy you’ve ever seen, and this guy looked happier. All he said was “take it easy” in a really deep, soothing voice.

I read the title of this thread and that’s all I can hear. I try to read through the responses, but all I’m getting is this really cheery old guy telling me to “take it easy” over and over again. Some of the people in this game need a life changing moment like dropping lo mein tongs.

i like this

Wait until we are nerfed to start raging. Even with a nerf we can still do fine.

I think it would depend on the rate, but if it was raised by .5% it still wouldn’t really matter since the rate is so low anyways. The legendaries are pretty much already a target in my eyes.

0.5%?

So 1 precursor for 200 kills?

Guess what, you just invented the best farming method in the game. Even if we’re talking a flat 0.5% chance to score some precursor, across all 20 Precursors, that’ll still put you at an average yield of 1.35 gold per kill.

I dont know the rates but im saying .5 of whatever it already is not .5 overall.

Q: (statement)

where is the question?

Instead of getting angry you guys might want to re-read what I said. Although it may be insane, but this is the forum to put those ideas on. So rage on brothers.

I think it would depend on the rate, but if it was raised by .5% it still wouldn’t really matter since the rate is so low anyways. The legendaries are pretty much already a target in my eyes.

I think it would be pretty cool if people wearing legendaries (in wvw) had a higher drop rate to drop precursors.

Hmm, I think I would go Axe/Horn Shortbow and put points into Beast Mastery and Wilderness Survival. Mostly staying at range pulling multiple mobs while your pet tanks them. I would personally go for a drake since they can do more aoe dps while tanking great. As you get higher level you will get stronger and probably find what you are looking for in terms of a build. But if I were releveling a ranger that is what I would do.

Serraphin Storm.2369:

You guys are getting your panties in a bunch. You dont know how this nerf will happen. You guy are like little kids crying before you get your whoppen. Why don’t you enjoy the time you have and cry after you get your spanking. Start documenting you dps now for comparison later. It may come with buffs to other area’s so just wait and see.

i second this

I thought i had a thief steal all 3 boons from RaO but i might be wrong, not like it mattered really anyways its mostly nice for me cus it will give my pet might stacks which do decent dmg anyways. I haven’t really had the problem mentioned in the first post, but i mostly wvw.

if you cant win without rtl then you dont deserve the win in the first place.

Great statement without ant sort of logic behind it and without any explnation.

Oh but it sounds well so it should be true.

Removing best gap closer from the ONLY class locked in short range is how you actually destroy a weaponset.

Its really easy to avoid rtl thus it has to be considered 40 sec CD.

This is if you actually want to kill stuff.
If your purpose is dancing in a little square (see PvP) or duel its a different thing….

Its easy to avoid a lot of things, doesn’t mean you can’t win. But you can use the excuse all you want and over exaggerate.

Running away = winning now?

old RtL didn’t help me winning any straightforward duel at all. Perhaps you mean escaping?

Miiro.3124:

if you cant escape without rtl then you dont deserve the escape in the first place.

okay… that still doesn’t make sense.

Over analyzation is probably stopping you from understanding my point. But you can read too much into it if you want

when i see a staff ele i think free badges

If I don’t have team members babysitting me then this is a fair assessment. If I get engaged in WvW my first goal is to run to the nearest clump of people or nearest keep.

I don’t generally make it unless I’m running a very tanky build.

Rangers like myself thank you for your effort

When i see a ranger as ele i would RTL away.

Are you guys kidding me here? It’s a freaking ranger! No matter what gimmick bunker build they’re running, it’s still a freaking ranger and therefore a free kill.

Rofl, ahh I use to love Elementalist before PI nerf, Was so funny watching them die in seconds.

Now it takes a little longer, but it still ends the same

Sadly, I could beat you before anet kitten d my glass d/d, but I don’t think I’d have any chance now.

Still cant win without your RTL? You must be a skilled player, I’m sure xsorus is full of fear as I am.

if you cant win without rtl then you dont deserve the win in the first place.

secret builds are secret

can you shoot a glass of orange juice before it falls?!

Ranger was my first toon, and what I tried in beta. I found it user friendly in almost all situations. The only thing I don’t do on my ranger is dungeons everything else though is fine.

I do agree with what some people said earlier about trying all the classes until 80 and finding out what you find more of your play-style or for fun. Good luck man.

havent some rifle gc warrior crit for 20k?

interesting video

Haha good fights man, when I heard I was in a video I assumed it was our fights. Yeah I kept pulling off to fight the adds since we had such good fights (id rather kill the adds). The engi on top of the bridge in the first fight, and the necro at the final fight, but still good fights man. Hope I see you around again. I think you still had me on the second fight 1v1 though.

trap rangers can do it

ranger wins vs ranger, the other ranger loses.

He just out heals the condition damage, its not that mind blowing.

Hey guys, been running dagger/focus at lvl 7 and wondering what you guys think is the best build for leveling, as i level.

I prefer hydromancy on my GS but its really up to you and how you use it

Its not like the JQ you guys speak of is still around, most of the guilds left here so I guess enjoy the bandwagon waves SoR/BG but know that SoS fell, JQ is falling, and other servers will too when the bandwagons move again. Not that I really mind, just my point of view.

try a knight zerker mix with that, might be weak in some areas though.

I like the hound dog too with the wolf

If I was going for Condi dmg I’d just go rabid armor, I’ve done the vitality armor same spec as Chopps said and it definetly can work. I just liked the rabid gear better myself. If you want power/crit you could try running knight/zerker mixture suit and spec accordingly. Can still be good dmg with a shortbow and when you use a 1h sword its good dmg aswell. You might not survive as long as a knight/cleric mix but its still decent.

I think sword #2 skill is perfectly fine if you know how to use it at the right time, I guess they could make it easier to use though.

LB can be done 1v1 im sure, might take some practice and good timing. If I ran LB in wvw for 1v1 or 1v2 fights I would run GS/LB myself and shoot from afar and then melee, swoop out then swap to LB again to use its cool downs, then GS again and repeat.

If you are leveling with BM its pretty funny. Just let the pet tank as you pew pew and move on to the next mob.

BM traitline is good man, just try it out.

Faux Sheaux.6179:

I like the healing one, but there are three big “oops” in the healing build you posted.

First, you absolutely need Dwayna runes. Second, you need 10 points in spirits for the +33% regen duration. Third, you need WS skill VIII: Oakheart Salve.

Otherwise you’re missing out on the biggest part of a healing build – the regen.

Well the only reason I have so much Healing Power is for the huge buff it gives to Signet of the Wild. It keeps my pets alive.

Not the best reason to have that much Healing Power, huh? >.>

Totally need the dwayna runes and stuff for it to be effective

I would go a healing hybrid, i shoot for 800 healing power, its not too much or too little for me. Both could be good but i would run the second one before the first one. Healing is pretty awesome for roaming and staying in fights. Both could work though but i would mix them probably.

Im certain the thieves would cry enough for that to never happen, sounds cool tho. thieves would be cake.

yeah im running cleric jewelry and whatever armor set i want. I have my favorite but you should look it up for your personal playstyle. PTV armor is good, knights is also good, knight/zerker mix is good too. i run 0/10/30/0/30. There are other variations of course, but thats why its hybrid healing. Some people like to run 0/0/30/10/30 or other variations i prefer the 30 into wilderness survival myself but some drop that to 20. just run signet of the wild and you are set man, its a really easy build to run surprisingly and pretty fun.

Hey man, yeah i like to do most of those things that you do. Roaming/small man/scouting/soloing. I’ve done the trap build in WvW for about 2 months and it was great, I run a hybrid BM build now with 873 healing power and I love it. It’s strong in any situation. I also run SB/GS and love it, you can swoop out heal and then #4 to block then swap to bow again and rock and roll. trap build normally is 0/30/30/5/5 is what i ran (last 10 points where you see fit) with rabid gear. Its really strong if you place your traps good. Good luck man, hope i see you out there

Agreed with puandro here, i like short bow/GS myself. Some regen rangers run LB/SB some LB/GS other GS with s/d. Its really up to what you want to do and how you play. IMO all can be decent just depends on the player and stuff.

Xillllix.3485:

Talking about WvW here:
There is no right time to heal when just standing there, we already have about 66% the health you have and die in 2-3 hits and we always die first when we are not behind.

The problem with this nerf is that it doesn’t affect stats, it affects the core of the playing mechanics. Now all we can do is hide behind, or do more bunker builds instead of balancing stats. They are breaking their game.

just because you havent figured out a right time or playstyle yet doesnt mean it doesn’t exist. be a good player and figure it out and destroy the people that cant adapt to change. MMO’s always change but maybe this is your first MMO. Most good players can adapt and still win, while the bad fotm kids normally just die and switch to the next fotm forum op class. the choice is yours.

you guys act like you are decent enough players, but cant do anything without RTL? maybe you guys should use RTL usefully now instead of off cool down, sorry anet wants you to try and play…

Lorelei.3918:

As a Roamer I feel you alls pain. I also crave small fights in wvw and go out of my way to find them.

Good places to find a small fight: At a sentry. After (or during o-o) soloing a camp. At world events like dredges and ogres. Alongside SMC. Near Yaks (don’t kill the Yak, be patient). And behind a zerg, there are always slow stragglers ripe for picking off.

But many will run. Since you are a ranger there is no excuse for letting them get away. Swoop and shoot them with a cripple shot when in range. Daze them after that. Let your pet cripple them and knock them down(you’re using a wolf right? ~_^) . I’m a kittenecromancer and I still catch people and eat them. You can definitely do it.

I completely agree with all of this, and yeah I do most of those things. Just boring killing people that wont even turn around and swing. Which is sad that I don’t even have to try and convince you guys about how many people run away.

The reason I didn’t name this forum Solo 1v1 duels is because that isn’t how I feel. 1vX is the reason I go to WvW, the community is just more worried about events than good fights, which is the reason I leveled up to 80 and geared myself out. 1v1s or 1v2 or 1v3. Also small man group action is pretty fun actually but Anet doesnt give much reason to do it, sadly.

What about having some fights in a zone dedicated to player vs player.

WvW IS PvP, lol. This confused concept that WvW is PvE-oriented is nonsense. Yes, your using your PvE gear, but it’s still a PvP enviornment, and all you cowards that run away need to stay in PvE if your not going to fight someone(or at the very least stay in the zerg so your helpless self doesn’t get ganked xP) I have this problem where the only people that will fight me, want to do it as 3-5vs1…..which is pathetic if you ask me. Also, have a little class, if you see 2 people having a 1v1 in the middle of nowhere….then let them have at it!!!!!! I’m so tired of actually finding someone that will fight and then immediately getting runover midfight by the zerg that happened to be walking past -_- Why do I have to set this sort of thing up? why can’t people just have a general sense of letting us roamers fight each other? I don’t need your help, I will fight them 1vsX, and hopefully my opponent will actually feel the same way(though I doubt it -_-)

I guess you are agreeing with me. haha

What about having some fights in a zone dedicated to player vs player.

Oh I totally understand the system that exsists and why people do what they do, I just find it shocking that in my experiences 70% of duos/solos run from me while I’m solo on my ranger. To me its a community problem, people apparently just don’t enjoy fighting people in WvW zones as much as I’ve seen in other games.
