Best party of 5 to roam WvW?

in WvW

You’ll want a guardian for protective buffs and tankage, ranger or warrior for offensive buffs (I love shouty heal warriors with cc weapons and find that a guardian and a warrior with specs built around each other is an extremely underrated roaming duo. Guard shouts converting condi’s to boons, warrior shouts for great sustain, on top of guardian ji+hammer5 to quickly stack aoe’s on targets). A mesmer is nice for the tactical options it brings an organised group with its utilities mainly invis, but a d/p+sb thief could also help here. I wouldn’t take both. D/D thieves excel in group play where they can backstab spam but I wouldn’t bother personally.

You have all your bases covered with these 3; great sustain and condi removal and a solid front line with enough tricks to act as a collective ‘oh kitten’ button. All of these classes can do substantial dps already. for me my next 2 choices would be flexible but based around aoe dps. fotm necro is hugely popular right now for skirmishing in a 5man or zerging/zergbusting so I’d strongly suggest you fit one of these in, but most classes built for it can do the job.

But really, the game is very flexible with regards to the OP if you are playing at it’s limit and class selection isn’t as much of a priority unless you are trying to hardcore zergbust. As has been mentioned, situational awareness of positions and enemy inc’s are much more important than getting the ‘best’ classses and rushing into a bad engage spamming 1 and utilities…

Why ever use S/P, P/P?

I run PP when zerging so I can shout ‘DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA’ when we roll over people farming cabbages.

Aw yeah…

FPS drop?

‘WvW’ type games have been on the rise in popularity in recent years. However, it is not exactly easy given current technology to give it tolerable fps for all players. It’s just an inherent problem in the way these games play.

Power creep? Good players should be rewarded.. Supply mastery rewards casual idiots who want to build siege more. ZERO progress made towards a player vs player atmosphere.

I logged in specially to reply to your post. Aren’t you special…

Good players should NOT be rewarded. What is the logic behind that? Define ‘good’ in WvW. ‘Casual idiots’ make up a lot of the playerbase of WvW and as such are the army giving YOU content. If you start giving bonuses to people and excluding others, well, you can see where that will go.

What is this I don’t even

edit: The major upcoming change to RvR in GW2 and how it will play out in the long term will be implementing Orbs once again; how it is done and it’s effect on the meta.

Lol cmf ^^ Looks like -condi duration food and dolyak runes here too.

Bearing in mind this builds looks tailored to be roaming with the Warrior. Stack on the healing for constant stream from virtue, food and/or runes + dodge heal warrior can help with burst heals and provide the might and fury to be able to deal lethal damage while in the heal-centric build.

Nice build that I’m gonna give a go, anyway.

Gandara Vs Piken Vs Augury Rock: Round 2

I understand your point of view xXx (and its my preferred view) but hopefully you understand that that was my point, everyone has their own Asking for people to do/not do stuff is cool, but getting kitten y when they don’t isn’t.

Gandara Vs Piken Vs Augury Rock: Round 2

in WvW

Posted by: Neomir.7493

Neomir.7493

This is embarassing for Gandara.

xXx it’s clear to everyone you don’t care about the server or the players in Gandara and are only in this tier for the fights you can get. No problem with that, we can all choose how we want to play. If people want to follow you in rvr, they will. If you want to sit in spawn for 15mins because you can’t handle 2-3 pugs following you, that’s also you’re choice. You’re an asset to the server, nothing more, nothing less. Hell, you start throwing your rattlles out of the pram when ONE SINGLE PERSON starts following you around.

About the follower thing, read above, the rest are just lies. We’re not siegers, but that doesn’t mean we don’t help our server. We always come to help if called, always help commanders and guilds in trouble if we can. Many commanders usually love to have us around, just in case they need help, so what you’re saying is totally invalid. We usually care about Gandara’s community and we actually came back before paid transfers just because we love many people we got to know here. I don’t see why “caring” about people and servers should mean playing the game wrong, or in a way we wouldn’t enjoy. It’s you guys, preventing us from playing the way we would like to, really harming Gandara’s results. Why we should “care” about you while you don’t “care” about us? Don’t need an answer, rhetorical question. [/quote]

I see. So you say it’s all lies and I must believe you. Well I’ll leave that part of your post at that, seeing as your rhetorical question MUST be true.

Don’t put words into my mouth. It’s not inavlid and we both know it. I’m not saying it’s right or wrong, bad or good, and you don’t even have to man up and admit it (as a guild, no need to get personal, sir). Everyone can play the way they want. It REALLY is as simple as that. For example, if xXx are throwing your rattles out because of ’random’s following you, go ahead, but if they want to sit at the wp and play the waiting game to join you, don’t act as if you’re right to play is higher than theirs. Get kitten y, do everything you can to preserve how you play, but realise everyone has equal right to play how they please. I stated that I (and the server) acknowledges you are a clear asset to us, but be honest, you guys just want good fights (nothing wrong with that, so do I). But you seem to think you are ENTITLED to it, without interference. As a long standing rvr guild I know you know this isn’t how it goes down…

Now it’s MY fault? Oh this is good Ok, I’ll indulge in a bit of personal storytime seeing as I was invited.I follow you if I get the chance since you won’t respond to my requests to trial. I didn’t go down at all and I run centaur runes buffing 4 of your guildies with 12-14s of swiftness every 15sec. You can’t know that, but your attitude seems to suggest you lump ‘us’ all together, which is naieve. And playing the “you’re harming Gandara not letting us do what we want how we want” card… Really, given the context of this thread? I know you’re better than that, but it seems like you do seem to think you are entitled to play how you want, and others not how they want. Please correct me if this wasn’t what you meant. But if YOU choose to sit in spawn until the randoms leave YOU are ‘harming Gandara’ through the choice you are making, not them, and their choice to want to wvw and in their eyes help Gandara, even if it is ultimately detrimental.

I clearly do care about ‘you’ (being everyone in wvw thats not xXx? or are we still being personal? wow can’t believe this is going here, we can hug it out after man), since when I run with you I rarely wipe, and my builds are always for the group. I GIVE YOU more swiftness than many of your guildies will. But we are both now making huge generalisations. I realise this, do you? My point is there are others that aren’t bad, and there are many that are. Nothing will change it and certainly people cannot be made to play how we want, but as you do, they can be asked. Just don’t get you’re knickers in a twist when when they decide to say ‘no’, because then players like Yak are gonna have a field day trolling you… I mean, come on, it’s not ‘harassment’ in a legal sense, they’re just annoying you lol.

Getting a taste for this forum stuff.

This is embarassing for Gandara.

Yaks give xXx a break they do a good job and xXx it’s clear to everyone you don’t care about the server or the players in Gandara and are only in this tier for the fights you can get. No problem with that, we can all choose how we want to play. If people want to follow you in rvr, they will. If you want to sit in spawn for 15mins because you can’t handle 2-3 pugs following you, that’s also you’re choice. You’re an asset to the server, nothing more, nothing less. Hell, you start throwing your rattlles out of the pram when ONE SINGLE PERSON starts following you around.

Whose REALLY childish here? Because it seems to me everyone is. Whereas on the other hands, all yaks ever do is follow people. They have gotten better since merging with Dius, and I believe they can now exit a spawn area not only together, but not get wiped within 5minutes too, and have seen them also getting some good fights and winning more regularly.

MMO and trolling goes hand in hand, but Gandara is gonna have to get used to the way each guilds ‘personality’ is because this game is amazing, and unless you’re a bandwagoner, we’re all here for the long run. So let’s be adults and not give the other servers more ammo to troll us while we troll each other? (Some better than others, looking at you yaks)

Just wanted to tell everyone to stop being childish and we’re on the same team, not sure how it turned into a rant… oh well. Donning flamesuit.

See you on the battlefield.

Should GS3 be...

in Mesmer

Posted by: Neomir.7493

Neomir.7493

… a blast finisher? The ability is often considered lacklustre, but compliments the GS skillset very well. The weapon easily manages to fill a role of long range burst aoe, making it a ‘go to’ choice for many WvW mesmers. Would making Mind Stab a combo finisher: blast be so OP? It would add more synergy to the class and others around it, and ofcourse help out in those water fields.

A major gripe of the communities is that you are immobile while casting a slightly delayed ability. The devs would see the trade off of targetted aoe damage with a boonstrip as potentially balanced. I often have no problem landing this ability and that is not what I’m calling into question in this thread. The added blast finisher would be invaluable to WvW while also making an otherwise repetitive weapon have more tactical choices; to use it for damage, or buffs (preferably both).

I could see it being problematic in smallscale combat and spvp as it would effectively give a gs/staff build an extra chaos armour making for a potential of 3 or even 4, and this is already one of the best in-combat buffs in the game.

Thoughts?

Great fun in the ps bl tonight. Big shoutout to the EVO guild, especially the warrior that refused to let me kill him! And thanks to AR for not ganking me in your supply camp while you built 3-4 golems and went away leaving me in peace to (try) and kill your comrades.

Gandara lacking numbers t3

Posted by: Neomir.7493

Neomir.7493

You should be thankful. We are a med population server. But we get up to t3 and then knocked down, and up and down… as has been mentioned.

This is a good thing because it lets our bigger guilds learn how to play in higher tiers, and gives our small guilds a chance to have some fun in lower tiers, all the while gunning for the war effort in all tiers. We have a mix of intense large scale wvw fights, and smaller scale less organized fighting (which is NOT a bad thing) too.

Higher tiers do not necessarily mean better organized guilds. It means there will be a higher number of guilds and wvw popularity, not necessarily highly organized.

I’d like to suggest an inventory bag that nothing goes into unless I specifically click and move it there.

If you keep your stuff at the top rather than bottom of your inventory, and are WvWing for instance with multiple weapons sets, using consumables up completely (food,blueprints) you can end up with a very unorganized inventory because those moldy bags and claws work their way in.

Its annoying to reshuffle, so a bag like this would be useful. In suppose it would also negate the purpose of the different inventory bags, but thats why this is a suggestion on a forum

Is there any reason to use LB over SB?

in Ranger

Posted by: Neomir.7493

Neomir.7493

For wvw, whenever your groups fights, you want to be using quickness lb5+2 to quickly turn the fight in your groups favor by big dmg and aoe cripple, then switching to sb to help pressure the assist target.

LB2 with pet swap quickness is key to bursting down targets too. LB is an amazing weapon I don’t know why people cry all the time.

Admittedly lb1 is only situationally useful and if you’re just sititng there spamming it, it’s your choice…You need to combo skills and utilities like every class and Longbow is a very good weapon for all round wvw, expecially with a shortbow.

A /wave to the Ranger I just dueled for about 5mins in augury bl outide briar. Great fight.

And a /bow to the TUP thief who was a great dueler…. and also an unlikely ally as we capped Augury’s arah’s hope together! I think we both wanted some defenders to show up so could have seen the reaction when they saw us waiting

You guys know who you are.

Just thought I’d share my opinion.

Piken, AR, you guys should be ashamed of yourselves… grovelling at the feet of your enemy is never an option, and I see both of you as lesser opponents because of it; your actions this week have pretty much settled that disrespect for you in my mind and many others – plotting and planning with an enemy the demise of another is where I draw the line… you crossed it. The actions of your Commanders have done this, to whoever says that it wasn’t them, and your Commanders represent you, every Pikey is the same to me, I kill them either way, every Frenchie is mutually shot at, and you may all sense a feeling of communism and equality as I hate (and in the same way, like) you both equally.

Another thing , Pikeys, Tortun Buz, is one of the most upright, gentlemenly, amicable and friendly people I have ever met, he is greatly understanding, and respects everyone, and in my opinion is a great asset to our server… If you have done anything to make him in the least, hostile or aggressive towards you, you should know you have done something deeply wrong… Even I, after all of my time trying, have not been able to garner an inkling of aggression from him; you guys must have messed up big time.

Also, in all honesty, if this is what the Higher Tiers are like, I’m pretty sure I don’t want to be here, there’s a general atmosphere of arrogance, derogation and intimidation, that just isn’t right. I’d rather be back where Gandara started than deal with insults and petty jibes, alliances formed to pull each other down… it reminds me of the Sith (sorry i’m a SW fan) and what you guys have done is broken the Rule of Two, and are scrabbling over each other for the combined strength to pull down another.

If this is High Tier, I pity those stuck in High Tier…

Oh and Torty, don’t let them lose SM, will you? It took ages to Upgrade that place….

Asura out.

Hate is such a strong word.

Running a 0/0/30/30/10 build, GS+Staff with Judges Intervention on a reduced cd, I find I almost always have a gapcloser ready. GS 3 + JI is a HUGE INSTANT gap closer into any group. GS5 groups them up (bearing mind they literally can’t see you coming) and then the rest of my group does their dirty dps work. If you want to do raw dps, you can go glasscannon Guard with a scepter/gs. Guardian is an amazign wvw class.

There are only disincentives to doing wvwvw before you hit 80

in WvW

Posted by: Neomir.7493

Neomir.7493

At least it’s available and not worked into endgame. If it was available at r80, everyone would complain they want it like WAR’s and for it to be tiered so they can all join in. But that just means content being outlevelled and becoming almost unused.

It’s an option, it doesn’t have to be totally viable, just enjoyable, which it is

This showed us Gandarans we have too many small guilds that can’t do much. We need to organise alliances to take on GH etc. And yes, xaoc (and thun) are indeed well organised guilds, good learning though, we will be in the middle upper bracket soon enough

I read the NA whine on these forums a lot and have l;earned Kaineng is one of the lowest rank servers. This at least shows you have spirit, and a sense of humour, something it seems a lot of the top NA servers are lacking. And for that reason alone you deserve a few more people to enjoy your games more.
