I can’t believe there are people defending condis.
Conditions are not only strong themselves, with sigils they’re even stronger. HoT traits ESPECIALLY make them stronger. Added on top of that, with some builds you can spike them instantly as if you were playing a power build. Warrior mace primal burst is a good example. Conditions can be mitigated through resistance and regen, but resistance can be stripped and regen is just worthless. Cleansing only works once and in the blink of an eye, they’re reapplied. There’s barely, if any, a reliable counter or a method of immunity against them. Before anyone responds, yes, I know about condi conversions and skills like defiant stance, but that’s it. Conditions don’t have a reliable counter to them.
Power builds on the other hand, can be….blocked, blinded, inflicted with weakness, mitigated with protection, invuln AND negation . I mean come on! It’s out of control! There’s a LOT of condi BS right now. Nobody can deny it.
Stupid posts like this really kitten me off.
You are saying condi attacks cant be blinded or blocked???
Lets see the differences….
Vs power you got weakness and protection
Vs condi you got reaistance and cleanse
Looks fair to me….
If youfail to avoid an attack and get hit. vs power you get full damage, if its condi you get time after to deal with the damage.
Condi builds are easier to play?
Hardly. They are almost the same.
Condi has only 2 stats to affects its damage?
Condi damage, duration? Yea true. But not really crit helps a lot too but whatever. And the damage in the end is still in favor or power or its really close.
I think the reason that only 3 condi meta builds exist is not because of the condi but other things. Warrior is not really a threat because of the condi mostly because they live forever and are very forgiving to play. Necro is due to all the boons there are to corrupt and transfer plus they extremly tanky nature. And mesmers are just kittened up no matter their spec.
All great ideas guys lol.
The worst part about the games where your team gets murdered and you get no caps or kills you get no points at all no progress. Just wasted time completly. Its a terrible design. Its like a half hour completly wasted. That makes me log off the most.
its so hard to play pvp in this game…
I got recently married so my days are mostly slavery and minimal time to play games. so i get rare times to play gw2. before i used to play 6+ hours a day no problem. now i am lucky to get 2 hours a week.
so when i do get on finally and get to do some pvp and first game i get vs a 5 man premade that kitten s us. then after a 4 man premade that kitten s us even harder. makes it really hard to find a reason to spend my 2 hours on gw2.
need solo q plz plz plz
sorry just venting….
i agree, where the hell is it?
i been playing dark souls 3 like crazy but i still checking in on gw2 and there is like nothing….
That is a reasonable request.
they can just put 6 people on it and should be ready next year.
Says stop looking at pvp in terms of 1v1. Talks about thief vs guard lol. Why would a thief fight a guard? Its 4v5 for the rest of the map. Go decap kitten.
I dont know if you are trolling or just mental.
Getting ‘stuck’ in ruby is a very important topic regarding how best league should operate. We changed matchmaking to make the ladder more prestigious and so far it has done that. Divisions are aligning with skill level much better than season 1. The product of this change is that the bulk of players who hover around the middle of the mmr curve should stay in sapphire and ruby. Win rate will level out at 50% because there are plentiful players of similar mmr in the same division.
Should average players be able to climb out of the middle divisions by grinding? This removes prestige and can make matchmaking worse within a division, but always allows a sense of progression.
Should average players stay in the middle divisions because that’s where they belong at their skill level? This retains prestige and only improving skill will allow climbing, but rewards and progression stop at some point through the season.
Is there an incentive that could be added to league games for players who have reached their appropriate division and can no longer climb?
my english is not very good, but did you just say kitten you to the very small player base thats left?
Yea i really live the roaming videos. Keep em coming. I know lots of people dont comment on these videos but i do watch them a lot.
If its a really close game where you gave it your best and the teams were amazingly balanced is it really necessary that the losing team loses a pip?
just had a really amazing game. lost and lost a pip. really gets you down.
maybe next one i should just afk if its not a blowout. why the put in the effort.
also just something i have noticed since start of season 2, i have never played with people that i faced against. never. not once. same team ok sure but never an enemy players and i play a lot.
something is not right. fix it. also why are you guys not posting in pvp forums.
Decent players should have no problem in this system ist just the average and bads that QQ because they can’t grind anymore.
how do you know who is decent?
good attitude hope someone stabs you in the eye
i got 3942 games played
t3 emerald right now. yesterday and today got about 8 hours so far of playing with 1 win and all other loses.
also i have never had someone on my team that i also have faced. i did fight the same people multiple times but never have had enemy players on my team later.
And now I lose again. after my many hours of play I think I have discovered something….
Has anyone doing solo q ever faced someone who has been teamed with you before?
I really think I never faced anyonewho was on my team.
YAAAAAAA!!!! first win in 8 hours!!!
Something has to be clearly broken. But its the weekend probably no one around to do anything about it.
Its too bad cause the weekend is when I play the most. So now while I am getting kitten d on one monitor and I am looking for other games on the other.
This is getting really really bad. I been playing all morning and still not one win. I think with the time for yesterday and today i got about 6-8 hours of losses.
My mmr must be rock bottom LOL
I would agree with that Umbra but it feels quite opposite for me, like I am losing and going down and getting worse and worse games.
I am just trying to understand why I am playing with people who are new to the game or that are clearly not experienced in pvp.
I dont know. Why are you?
I thought the point of sPvP ranked matches was to gather 5 man groups and play good to win against other 5 man groups, whereas unranked was for the disorganized mob that solo/duo etc. If your group is new to the game or not experienced to PvP… that may just be the reason for failing.
Or does ranked support solo queue only now? Dont get me wrong because that would be awesome (I have no friends) but last time I checked it didnt.
No its not solo only and I am like you I dont really have friends in game.
Really solo and team is not a problem, at all for me, i played a lot of games now this season and maybe less than 10 games had any people on a team. So my games have been mostly solo vs solo.
I just want to get something strait. It feels unreal to me.
I got a losing streak early this season. I did get into emerald now mostly just grinding. never felt like I beat or lost to a team fairly.
So I am in t3 emerald and I got low mmr cause i lost a lot. A LOT. So when it puts me in a team it gives me people with my low mmr but I face teams with higher mmr but we all in emerald. Is this right?
I am just trying to understand why I am playing with people who are new to the game or that are clearly not experienced in pvp.
the game starts and the team triple splits, makes my heart break a little and i just let out a deep breath but i still give it maximum effort!
I know I am not this bad that my winrate is like 10%. I been playing this game over 2 years now and 90% of my time is doing spvp. I play pvp games all my life, grew up on street fighter and age of empires. I love competition!
The good news I hear is that once all the “good” people leave emerald I will have more fair matches. Sounds nice and hard to believe……..I wonder what the population will be like at that point….
Season 2 has been out for only a few days and I feel so exhausted from it already.
i cant begin to tell you how stressed i am about DS.
hard to get a good map. and when you do i always get some random crashes.
only place i crash in this game….
yesterday i was doing the map trying to get to the end so i can buy the scrapper insignia and i got dc and tried for like an hour to get back into the map. full. wasted my free night.
now today again no crashes, killed the boss looted the box. and walked to the npc and crash.
get back and i cant join, not full but says network error. i should check my internet. i dont understand why they just didn’t write kitten you in that dialogue box instead of check your internet.
its funny balance in pvp has driven me out of it into pve then this kitten drives me out of pve and into wvw which is dead so i just back to pvp when i suffer in agony as fight people in endless limbo.
man am i kittened lol
leave it as is.
give warrior iron skin, immune to power damage if health above 90%.
That’s not really the same…. warrior already has highest base toughness and health. Regular damage is way higher than condi and innate. If you don’t have might or condi dmg a zerker would literally never get through that. There are hard counters but that would be pretty insane.
If you don’t have might or condi dmg a zerker would literally never get through that. wow really. you said it, not me.
so thats ok for someone pure condi but if someone is pure power then its not ok….
and yes warrior has more hp making that 10% more but condi does such high damage and is not mitigated by toughness or protection. one burn tick and its gone so yea lets add this to warriors asap plz
leave it as is.

Engineer has the only reliable pull in game. The rest of us how have used pull’s for some time have just come to accept they don’t work with 100% assured.
generally any movement or pull skill benefits greatly from;
1) Don’t use it at max range.
2) If the target side sides, regardless if it is unblockable, move on..it wont work.
3) The animation of the pull and the actual pull are not the same thing. The animation will make you believe it can pull from further away than it actually can.
4) Only engineers pull operates via flight of the crow, all other pulls will account for every bump and gnarl in the terrain.
5) Dont use them on inclines.
6) Don’t use them on declines.You’ll notice the same with teleports. Some can be used through walls and up great heights, others can’t. Some will teleport over traps, others won’t. End story,..they’re unreliable.
I beg your pardon! Been engi main for a very long time, the magnet is by far the most buggy move in the game, had been patched a million times and still to this day has a low success rate. So all pulls in the game are all the same. Saying this or that move is bugged as far as pulls go is not true. Its the pull mechanic that needs fixing.
I agree that DS is designed badly and allows no counterplay unless you play viper. However, I believe that before DS gets reworked, there need to be changes to the amount of condition pressure some classes can do. Mallyx revenant is going to get nerfed tomorrow and we should see how that’s gonna turn out first. DS is the only thing that keeps ele in the meta somehow, once you break it, the ele just melts.
I would like to point out ele does not counter Mallyx rev as it’s literally no issue for them to break it on viper. The only thing that DS is good against considering 1v1’s is carrion/rabid reaper.
And to the post above me: Ele has been getting nerfs unlike other classes that were getting buffs mostly. With the trait revamp they completely killed two barely viable specs, which was fresh air zerker ele and condition ele. Cele ele had its damage reduced significantly and is definitely not the strongest spec in current meta, it’s basically a heal/buff bot, nothing else. It has issues taking any 1v1 and can at best just stalemate it and won’t kill you unless given A LOT of time to do it.
you must be talking about rev again only cause viper on anyone else is much worse than rabid or carrion. there is currently only 1.5 condi classes in meta. rev and half a necro.
if you agree that diamond skin should stay as is to keep those OP condi builds from playing then i suggest we nerf rev and give them power diamond skin. that way all those power builds are forced to take some condi… fair is fair right?
is it like right off the bat afk or is it like 350-50 then he afk.
because if its the second then he should be reporting you. wasting peoples time. its a big no no.
i play engi all my gw2 life but scrapper feels not that strong, feels tanky and stuff but not fun. i have more success on my necro. tempest is also pretty good but i would say necro.
I’m having fun, at least now there is a progression system. Not everyone can win all the time.
thats again not the problem. people should be able to win all the time and lose all the time. but the system is made to not do that. its trying to force you into a 50% win/loss
Well that’s inevitable considering that for everyone who wins someone else must lose.
If the system was pushing you toward a 66% win 33% loss then it would need to push someone else into a 33% win 66% loss…
again its not actually like that. say for example i win lots then it wont have me face people with now my new high mmr with a team of also equal mmr, it will put me in a low mmr team to bring my streak down. its quite noticeable when some people. you know those guys who just have a meta build and you can clearly see they dont know class mechanics.
system is flawed thats for sure. how to fix it i dont know…. its not my job. its a game if i dont enjoy it i will play something else.

As veteran player who spends most of my time in pvp, PVPing lately becomes very unfun and frustrated. Does anyone else feel the same way?
Nope! I have a 5 man team so I don’t have to suffer intensely like a majority of the PvP community. Leagues work really hard to appease the 0.001% of the PvPers.
i agree 100% and as one of those solo only people its become pointless for me to play.
a night of pvp ends with 50% the magic number of nothing.
so yea i guess the only people who will be playing is those 0.001% vs each other with 30 min q
Anyone else find it funny the class they show with the wings is a thief? Like they are saying since you will never see this in game lets show you the screen shot. Also I bet the other guy with his back turned is a warrior.
that’s an engi
so buff engi??
also i dont see anywhere saying solo q is gone. only see guild league.
(edited by Milan.9035)
such a bad idea, i have to play a class i have very little experience with others who will in turn hate me.
why dont you make it like get 2-3 wins or somthing??
anet said engi would use fuel to power the gyros. i am sure its from an interview or something
why not make other utilities all kits too?
put gyros as one kit.
i do agree that the problem with the scrapper is there is nothing really there for a mechanic.
i think a the mechanic should be something with kits for sure but i have no idea what.
gyros were a terrible idea and i cant believe that got past the first brainstorm.
i agree with you OP.
even before the expansion the file in the game for that helm was the flat mask but tilted open up. looked really bad kitten and i was so looking forward to it.
now we got this. disappointed.
we its not horrible, i will probably use it. but if they can give us the other one too would be great.
The mace you get when you first necome the scrapper. Then there is the nace from the stream and a new bigger version but i dont know hot to get it. You can see it all in the wardrobe. The help is from fully unlocking the scrapper.
Stuck at work doing 12 hour shift. kitten it i want to play haha
Just forgot to say about the skins. The new wrench hammers look cool especially the last one i dont know how to get it but i look forward to it.
As for the mask i am terribly disappointed. The leaked one was a normal one on charr but was raised up. Looked really nice. Now its down and covers the face and makes us look like robot dogs. Still not bad but i preferred the other
So i had about 4 hours of pvp so far at least with scrapper. And i would say i dont have any problems so far vs any class.
I am running alchemy tools and scrapper. SD scrapper.
Marauder with strength rune and air plus battle.
Healing turret. tool kit. Elixer gun. Rifle turret. Sneak gyro.
It feels amazing. Lots of cc with lots of burts and lots of defence.
Use elixer gun to bait some dodges then thunderclap em and leap at em while using sd moves. Most classes cant survive that. You also have amazing stomp and rezz.
Sneak gyro is still beta level but the random stealths really screw up the enemy.
Hammer auto feels fast and crits high. Wirlwind can crit quite high too. The leap is amazing now. The only problem is i wish we van cancel the leap by swithcing kits. Sometimes i do it and i need to stop cause of something like too much confusion but cant and just watch myself die. Other than that scrapper is awesome.
Oh yes ai gyros. ………. wtf were they thinking. Anyways even with no extra utility moves scrapper is still amazing.
Just wanted to let you guys know hehe.
Also i love fighting reapers as scrapper. Such an easy fight for us hehe
is there anything worse than that.
wait 10 min in q to attempt to get one kill vs a premade, almost 20 min for absolutely nothing at all, no silver, no rank points, no reward track, nothing.
i really need to stop doing unranked….. my fault. just so upsetting.
i think the bigger question was why did we have this buff this last weekend when everyone was playing beta stuff so kind of useless. was torn between trying stuff and playing my main.
My thoughts….
The hammer is fun. Feels tanky but i do wish damage was a little better and smoother.
The gyros are just garbage. Their f skills are amazing. I wish you just made gyros a kit with only the f skills insted of the gyros.
I know its too late to change them completely but i really wish you guys would have revealed the scrapper long time ago so we could tell you how bad it is before. I think everyone wishes they were just basic boring signets insted of spirit weapons. And the times you guys mentioned fuel makes me think you guys had other ideas for them but ended up scrapping it…. omg thats how you guys got the name…i bed you had lots of different ideas that you scrapped.
But its not that bad. I mean if you delete the gyros and say that engi already has enough moves and we get nothing i would still be happy with just hammer.
Oh and the function gyro… when you describe it to me its amazing. When i see it in gameplay…..its like just a surprise move. You have no idea what it will do, stomp, rezz, or something completely random or nothing. Make it do what you said it will do and it will be cool.
that is true we dont get much.
but what do the jumping puzzle only people get? a few jumping puzzles? does not seem like its worth 50.
to make my point you get the whole game, you play what you like.
clearly not gonna be a win for em, but i do agree afk is kittened. i always go get killed so game ends faster, have to think of the other players too, people got kitten to do.
ah then its ok then……
game is so kittened now.
Dreamkillers.
kitten haha guess i am sticking with my exotics forever.
So arena net said come Tuesday you can change the stats on ascended gear.
They said you have to use 10 spirit shards + piece of gear you want to change + 5 ectos + exotic insignia or Inscription.
I really hope we can use Giver with this, since there is not way to get ascended now.
:):):):):):) i am excited.
Hello fellow engineers.
I just wanted to know what the rest of you condition engineers run in wvw. My armor is all dire with everything else rabid.
Now for the weapons i have both ascended shield and pistol rabid as well i have a exotic giver shield and pistol. I have tryed both and cant make up my mind. I have read wolfs guide on it and seese to agree with it mostly. But when ever i see videos of roamers no one ever uses giver.
So yea please just let me know what you guys think.
