@Anvil Rock zerg in EB, don’t take a squishy thief as your commander, else our 4 man will drop him infront of your whole zerg :P

Why would anyone feel the need to post this?

Uh .. congrats on killing someone!

Commanders, regardless of class, are a target to any organized group for obvious reasons, and any decent 4 man should be able to drop one with a target assist regardless of what class he/she plays. It’s an expected hazard of choosing to tag up.

if it’s an expected hazard then why handicap yourself by playing one of the squishiest classes? Commanders should either be warrior or guardian…

An interesting take on what a commander should be. You do realize built/played correctly that most classes can be just as solid/tanky as a guardian or warrior, right? I have also seen both the before mentioned classes melt under focus fire just as fast as a thief. Although an interesting perspective as to what class a commander “should” be. Heck, a heavily bunkered necro is a far tankier choice than either guardian or warrior due to a huge base health pool and DS. You also need to take into account commanding style into whichever class you choose for commanding. Any player, regardless of the class they play, can be effective as a commander. Coming to the forums declaring that only 2 classes should command is absurd and uneducated.

Necrosis don’t have access to high armor or protection or stability.

Actually wrong on all 3 counts…
Spectral Wall = Protection
Spectral Armor = Protection
Lich Form = Stability
Plague = Stability

Reasonably high armor and one of the best condition removal sets in the game.
Traited Stability on DS as well, and two massive health bars.

But like I said, uneducated about different classes.

I don’t think stability on a 3 minute cooldown can be counted as reliable and no good necro build uses that stability in DS trait…I also don’t think a class with 0 mobility should be commanding.

also plz tell me how necro’s can heal better then guards with AH or warriors with healing signet?

the problem is that tankiness isn’t the only trait a commander needs it also needs:

mobility (this is not 25% movement bonus this refers to leaps and shadowsteps…)
self sustain (lots of heals)
and group support for those pushes in choke holds
and some light CC is good too

^ find a class that can do that better then a guardian or warrior and then you’ll have an argument.

certain classes can do things better then others and that’s just something you have to accept if you wanna get better at the game…you gotta learn to play your role according to your class.

[PPK] is looking for 5v5s, 10v10s, or 15v15s.

mail me in game or on forums to set em up

Jeknar.6184:

This thread name is boring and I did another BEFORE this one…

aww my bad…I skimmed through the first and second page and I couldn’t find one.

good luck to all servers this week! and may the bags be with you

[PPK] is looking for 5v5s 10v10s and 15v15s

whisper me in game or on forums to set them up

I can’t be the only one who reads this thread just for the [BUNS] gifs >_>

don’t go thief. They used to be one of the top roaming classes but after bad players kept QQ’ing about them Anet kept on nerfing them.

I’d go with either warrior, engineer, or necromancer (best 1v1 class but dies easier in 2v2-5v5)

But a good first class if you don’t have a main yet is definitely warrior, they can do EVERYTHING and are the best at it.

Best damage? Check.
Highest Health Pool? Check.
Highest Armor type? Check.
Most viable build types? Check.

the list continues… but you get my point, warriors can spec for roaming and zerging and be the best at both.

what’s with all the rudeness people T_T

I liked the video

so this is what goes through the mind of your kind in WvW ._.

would this group include the BUNS?!

When I get back online I shall send you a mail telling you of my magical adventures on this place I discovered called Ferguson’s Crossing

this thread needs more fluff…

NACHOOOOOOOO

seriously man come FC ._.

Zerguson’s Crossing

Isle of Jantards (love u guys haha)

Gates of Sadness

Baghaven

Northern kittypeaks….

all I got lol

thief’s aren’t terrible, spammable cluster bombs that hit for 3-5k ,and spammable poison fields on the downed so they can’t get ressed the normal method.

They’ve also got venom-share for utility.

definitely ranger

yup it sucks dude :/ I wouldn’t quit though, that amount of badges can be built back up within a week or two.

I highly recommend you put that tag on a heavy. As the one leading the group you NEED to stay alive, classes like Warriors and Guardians are perfect with their high sustain and stability.

Also getting your zerg to use teamspeak is a huge part of it.

[PPK] is looking for 5v5s or 10v10s

whisper me in game or mail me on forums to set it up

still looking for more warriors!

[PPK] is looking for 5v5s or 10v10s

whisper [Saint Aza] in game or send me a forum mail to set it up.

hello there! I’m Fluffy, leader of the mighty pew pew kittens [PPK]. I ask of you level 80 warriors with your OP hammer specs to lend my guild a hand in our future battles. What we ask of you warriors:

During guild WvW raids you must:
- use teamspeak, no mic necessary just need to hear us
- be willing to change your build
- be friendly!

[PPK] is primarily a zerg-busting guild, PPT is NOT our main objective although we do like helping take camps, towers, keeps, etc. We currently are running in groups of 6-7 people and are looking to increase that number to 10-15.

Our play-style:
It’s fairly easy to learn, we have a driver (greatsword/staff guardian) who leads the hammer train (hammer warriors and healway guardians) the current strategy is

pull -> bomb (this is alot of stuff that involves all your high damage stuff, high group support stuff like timewarp, hammer f1, meteor storm, etc.) -> bait -> push in with AoE-> heal on other side.

that’s our GvG strategy and it works quite well in open field too, the only difference when we’re zerg-busting is that we try to bait the enemy alot more while having them run into our AoE killing them slowly but surely

The people in our guild are pretty laid back and are on average around 15-25 years old, we’re all fairly mature and it’s pretty easy to get in our circle just by being cool and mean to Trooper (you’ll see why).

If you want to know anything else about the guild or are interested in joining either send me an in-game mail to Saint Aza or a forum message.

The guild is currently located on the server Feguson’s Crossing which means if you’re from another server and wish to transfer you’ll need to pay the transfer fees, don’t worry about those however because we can help with that

nyckolag.2394:

Holy crap, what’s with the forum hate? I know it’s super ironic that I’m the one questioning the forum warring, but seriously? Who cares if SIC transferred, hahaha.

Having said that, I probably wouldn’t mind this warring if it weren’t over such a tame issue.

can’t agree with you more.

the forum warriors need to up their game, start insulting on a broader scale plz!

Aeros.2046:

Believe it or not, today, BP only had one zerg that bounced around all the maps in the game, leaving sentries scattered about to relay time sensitive intelligence to the main body. This gave Borlis insane force multiplication, allowing us to engage across all spectrums of WvW’s combat zones. We don’t have tier 1/2 coverage. We have tier 4 coverage IMO. We are just very good with how we utilize it.

Also, that was me waving at those golems as they began their rush towards Garrison and Dragonbrand Bay. Thank you for making my boring guard duty in the NE tower worth it

so in other words you are very good at outmanning your opponent. k.

the reason why last matchup was even was because all of our coverage/population was fairly equal. When you gained transfers you clearly gained an advantage over us because at that point your coverage outweighs ours. BP is a good server I acknowledge that but please stop with the whole “we’re winning from our blah blah blah” because we all know it’s just numbers :/

psibrid.1920:

i thought engi’s where medium range? What makes them effective at long?

grenade kit build. 1500 range auto attack lol

Loken.9724:

We are looking for a new server (IOJ was not a good fit)

So you will most likely see us on CD/BP/EBay in the near future.

I.E IoJ is not going to steam roll anymore.

I assure you SIC didn’t leave because IoJ started facing competition. They left because the community wasn’t very accepting of them. It’s sad really :/ personally I enjoyed your stay at IoJ and I’m sure I’m not alone in that, I hope you guys find a good place to stay

roll warrior

Literally does it all and is the best at it too. Oh..and Anet keeps buffing them

mind if I add these videos to my guild website?

Buffy.9246:

Has ioj given up? Takes forever for then take a keep back.

resets in less then 6 hours

huge shout out to the [BB] guys, much thanks for popping PPK’s GvG cherry! glad you were our first

Isle of Janthir is the place for you! We have:

- active server TS3
-awesome community
-great oceanic presence (friends to play with )
- weekly commander meetings so we all stay on the same page

I’ll send you a mail when I get home~

Straegen.2938:

Best match up I have ever had after months of play. Lots of great mostly balanced zerg on zerg, fantastic skirmish and great roaming. It has been back and forth all weekend. If every tier had fights like this every week WvW would be a monster success.

Best fight we have ever had in all of our WvW experience was with PPK at Astral camp this weekend. The fight was a small skirmish between 5 of us and a small group of them. It raged a solid 10 minutes and they finally downed one of us (me). I decided to run back across the entire map and THE FIGHT WAS STILL GOING! We finally got the upper hand but it really could have gone either way multiple times. I did manage to chase two of them back across the map and that ended in an honorable duel. Absolutely fantastic and huge props to a very skilled group of players in PPK.

thanks for the compliments, we enjoyed that fight quite a bit ourselves it was funny though because we had to switch group leaders in the middle of it as I happened to DC midway through xD although of course the fight lasted so long I managed to get back in time for the last bit of the action lol

here’s another bump for mother janthir~

oh and here’s a tip FA and Maguuma, DDLG will NEVER charge head first into a zerg. If they can’t get the jump on you or make you over-commit into their CC fields then they’ll run 99% of the time. Not taking a shot at you guys just giving some friendly advice to your opponents~

also <3 Tots

if there’s a matchup to watch this week it’s definitely this one o_o come on FA my money’s riding on you!

come to IoJ! Great community, active server TS3, great oceanic presence too! If you need help with the transfers my guild and a few others might be able to help you with that. Also during oceanic and EU time IoJ is a “High population” server so when transfer costs go on discount it’ll be super cheap to transfer.

to the guy mentioning logic here’s what I have to say for you..

in a 3 way matchup of IoJ/CD/BP IoJ and BP both have a siege griefer who is wasting supply and sabotaging the matchup. Yet somehow CD doesn’t have one. Free trials are going on so I’m pretty sure no one had to spend any money to transfer servers…

basically the most likely server this troll came from is CD and considering how both servers are getting trolled at the same time adds to our suspicion, nobody is calling out the whole server we’re just saying that this troll comes from CD.

seriously can’t decide between the 2 o.o

on one hand I have my warrior, 35k HP, 3.6k toughness, OP hammer build and nice support via shouts

then I have my guard…SO MUCH HEALS..and the CC is no joke either. Condition removal and boon support is also a nice bonus as well as the invulnerability from elite skill.

Can someone help me choose plz!

LOVING this reset, so much action tonight! After I saw that 3-way at garrison I thought for sure we would lose it, great defense IoJ!

We just recently gained an influx of players so we will now do occasional guild zerging

Sounds like IoJ fits the criteria, should definitely check us out!

We’ve got:

- active server TS3
- great oceanic presence (everything you upgrade during the day STAYS upgraded over night)
- lot’s of roaming guilds
- great community, can’t stress it enough how awesome these people are!

Really just about any server except maybe the lower tier ones would fit the criteria. You may want to stay away from T1 (Sanctum of Rall, Jade Quarry, and Blackgate) because WvW is generally queued and the wait times (30 minutes to an hour on weeknights) tend to be a little annoying.

A T2 or T3 server should fit what you’re looking for. I’ve heard Sea of Sorrows had a fairly good PvE as well as WvW community so you might want to try there

Buffy.9246:

Quoted: CD and BP you have faced more higher tier servers recently. How do you think IOJ will do in silver league? We know we have some things to work on, our turnout was still a lot weaker than I’d expect.

I really never seen a server so obsessed in having sm before. Not even Sbi are that obsessive over it. Sm is going to be your downfall when you fight SoS, Mag Etc.
Also your ground forces are terrible. Even in even #s i always see Ioj running into a tower/sm and resort to ac spamming the heck out of us. Need to learn how to fight Zerg vs Zerg or you will never get better as a server.

thanks for the input!

Fighting zerg vs zerg has always been a tough thing for us because we used to be a mostly pug server without very many WvW guilds. But now that we’re on the rise with all the new transfers we’re starting to get accustomed to each others tactics and are adapting to fit the situation accordingly. We realize when leagues comes out we’ll be fighting opponents with much higher populations so some of our guilds (mine included) are practicing zerg busting so we can end up doing more with less and be effective with our numbers.

over all I think the current IoJ should be able to get atleast 3rd place in our league but I’m sure if we do all the right things (group coordination, always keeping a presence on enemy BL’s, etc.) when those matchups come out we may very well end up in 2nd or even 1st

http://mos.millenium.org/na

if you check off hours PPT you’ll get a fairly good understanding of which servers have oceanic coverage and which do not.

we’ve been practicing doing 1v1s all the way to 5v5s behind for the last few days to strengthen our group fighting abilities, getting better with each fight. Fun stuff!

Pentzski.4620:

It did suddenly slow down in this thread, didn’kitten As a change of pace, forgot to give notable mention to PPK who wanted to practice with us some small man stuff including 2v2 up to 4v4. You guys were persistent and kept wanting more, and I hope you guys learned some stuff

yes we did

thanks for sticking around for as long as you did and helping us practice!

what time is fightclub?

:D

why not have them count towards the PPT? 1 point per node at the end of the tick.

Sup dog, I’m saint leader of this guild

[PPK] Pew Pew Kittens is a pure WvW-guild, if you spend 90% of your time in PvE this is not the place for you.

we’re a decent sized guild (100+ roster) with players who’s timezones range from early EU to late night AU (our primetime however is during North American hours wher we usually have 15-25 people online). This means you can always find people to play with no matter what time of the day.

As you can assume from the title we are a guild that LOVES small-scale fights, fighting with the odds against us is what we truly enjoy in WvW however as our server has been moving up in ranks the fights have been getting harder and harder to find without being horrendously outmanned. That’s why we’re recruiting! We usually run with 5-7~ people max but I’m looking to extend that number to 10-15~

We’re currently accepting ALL classes but the ones we have in high demand are:

elementalist
guardian
warrior
mesmer
necromancer

Requirements to join the guild are few and fairly easy, all we ask is that you use teamspeak and be friendly

Also if you happen to be from another server and would like help with the transfer fee hit me up and we can work something out.
