Guild Wars 2

No, Nooo I’ve been mindlessly rolling people with my bunki condi build for the last year, especially ele’s, now one trait that ele’s rarely run makes my entire build unplayable and is ruining my pvp experience. Q.Q

Arrow.4619:

What a totally unnecessary and unwelcome idea. Put that feature in PvP or WvW land where it belongs. Most of the people arguing for it are exactly the reason why most of the rest of the community thinks the idea sucks. The “come at me bro” crowd doesn’t need a special system to be more strutting, obnoxious and annoying. And please don’t say it “has” to be in open world – if two players want to duel they can do it in PvP or WvW “arenas” and leave the rest of us out of their “little” measuring contest(s).

You’ve probably never been in spvp, if you have you’d know how terrible our stats choices are, and can’t duel allies in wvw. “Most of the rest of the community” how do you know who’s the majority/minority? The “come at me bro” crowd barely exists in this game unless you’re on maguuma, and that’s also what the block option is for.

Would be pretty awesome if you let us salvage karma/wvw armor and accessories so we can get our runes/jewels/sigils out without having to use transmutation stones. Make it so materials will not drop from these items. Please <3

Wish I was as good as this guy.

I have 19000 hp without my stacks of Guard defense, 21500 with full stack (with food).
That’s twice my class base health pool, and it’s more than my friends bunker eles. My toughness is around 1650, you can’t have much more than that on an ele without going full bunker..

Actually, you can have more toughness than 1650 without going full bunker. You don’t need that much hp, you can shave off three or even four thousand since you have guard defense. Also there’s these amazing stat combinations called Cavalier and Knights. Full pvt is trash, stop wasting stats.

Edit: you’re squishy.

Get over it. No, really. They’re reducing the most overpowered 5 point trait of any class

Pretty sure there’s more overpowered 5p trait on different classes.
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Critical_Infusion
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Vigorous_Precision

Do you understand how those traits work?

If you are out of range: no hits, no vigor. If you are stunned: no hits, no vigor. If you are blinded: no hits, no vigor. If you are blocked: no crit, no vigor. If you are fighting any of the hundreds of objects or bosses that act like objects: no crits, no vigor. If you hit but don’t crit, no vigor. If you are a condition damage build: low Precision, few crits, spotty vigor.

You have to gear for it and it has serious impact on which weapons you can use if you want high vigor uptime.

Pre Dec 10 Ranger~
Spend 5 points. +50% endurance refill rate come hell or high water. No check, no gear requirement, no counter-play.

If you’re out of range: he’s probably out of range as well, if you’re melee only, close the gap. If you are stunned: you should probably bring stability, stunbreaks, or even l2dodge. If you’re blinded: don’t stand in blackpowder. If you’re blocked: he’s probably not hitting you either, if it’s aegis that’s only one attack blocked and you’ll probably attack 2-3 more times before your vigor expires, same goes with blind. Hit with no crit: See “if you’re blocked”. Objects don’t hit back. Non crit-able bosses are predictable and bass endurance regen is enough. If you’re a condition build: Rabid

L2use different stat combinations to get that desired crit chance and it does not have a serious impact on which weapons you have to use.

So just because one build has too much evasion, we’re going to Nerf nearly every single ranger build? Logic?

You just explained the logic yourself – when “nearly every single Ranger build” includes one trait, its pretty %#&@ing obvious that trait is overpowered for its cost.

not to mention that you can take on ALL endgame content there is including WvW and sPvP, in full glass cannon and dodge your way out of harms way. All it takes is some timing. And honestly, we got so much vigor atm, in addition to a 50% passive trait (now 25%) that it is ridiculous.

To list all the vigor we got (100% endurance regen)
Vigor whenever someone lands a crit on YOU (15s CD, skirmishing) 6sec
Vigor on heal (Wilderness Survival) 6sec
Vigor on pet swap. in combat (Beastmastery) 6sec
Vigor when using Lightning Reflexes (Utility skill) 10sec

That is 28 seconds. 40 seconds if someone crits you and you swap pet before it runs out, and by then, you can use LR again, which means oh… 50 seconds. and by now you start the chain again, SO YOU CAN ACHIEVE PERMA VIGOR.

That means you can, technically have permanent 125% endurance regen while in combat. How awful.

The 25% and Vigor don’t stack…

it does. It is two different buffs. If you do not believe me, bring out your stop-watch and test how long it takes to re-gain full endurance without 25% and vigor, with 25%, with 100% and with 125%.

Hmmm, no.

Invest your gold before you bounce yo!

Pets have almost 50% less hp in wvw/spvp, kitten?

Thanks anet.

Guess anet doesn’t read the ranger forums, heh.

*snipped junk

What is the point here?

You sure talk a lot someone who doesn’t even get what the point is.

Let me spell it out for you. You should never be able to 1 shot someone with full HP with any skill. Because there’s zero counter play.

And no, don’t bother to bring up backstab. That’s broken too. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

The only people it one shots are those in full zerk armor, with full zerk traits. That’s going to be a glass cannon ele, and a thief. That is also commonly with stacks of vuln on you.

There are counters to it. Let me help you.
1. The insanely obvious animation
2. The skill tracks you, should be obvious when you’re the one being targeted.
3. Immobilizes warrior, can’t move while channeling killshot.
4. Decent duration channel time.
5. Bullet has flight time

Tools at your disposal:
1. Dodge roll, easiest one. You have 2 dodges at start, and 1 dodge per 10 seconds BASE. You can dodge most killshots just with your BASE dodge rolls.
2. Running vigor, endurance regen traits, sigils of energy and stamina.
3. Evade skills… no point in describing this.
4. Block skills, unless the warrior is running signet of might, you can block killshots.
5. Interrupts, interrupt him……
6. Blinds, can’t shoot someone if you’re blind.
7. Invuln skills. Can’t be killshotted if invuln.
8. Weakness, weakness is amazing now, a weakened killshot warrior does MUCH less damage.
9. Teleport/Leap skills. Not only to get out of range, but if these are used at the right moment, they will cause the killshot to over-compensate it’s trajectory, and it will simply miss because it went flying off in another direction.

Irrelevant when you cannot see it. There’s zero tell when the person is behind you

There’s this sweet thing called Panning Your Camera, you should try it sometime.

But but.. open field fights! I thought open fields fights is where all the strategy and skill was! Using terrain and structures is for noobs! Real men beat each other up in open fields.

If you need more help than that, I can teach you how to read a rifle warriors build, and counter him through his build.

10. LoS’ing the warrior

Xillllix.3485:

I am not the first one to say it, and I am not talking about the thief backstab which is quite tolerable considering it does only 8k dmg for a very squishy build.

But this: 10,706 dmg and 15,247 dmg Killshots within 5-6 seconds from a warrior that has more health than my quite balanced Ele, my Ele which takes 5 seconds to cast a freaking meteor that does 4k dmg to him IF it hits at all.

During the a very short time window that Warrior does about 30k dmg. I fully healed after the first Killshot which brought me to 6k health, but the second shot brought down 80% of my health, and that is only because I have a half-bunker ele with 20k hp, else its an instant one-shot kill against any normal ele.

What are we supposed to think about that sort of balancing?

I occasionally run a full glass rifle build in wvw and the only way i’m getting a 10+ thousand killshot on someone is if they are running glass or an upleveled. You wouldn’t mind screenshotting your stats for us that you had at the time of these killshots? Btw a killshot has a 7 3/4 second cooldown with burstmastery.

Aridia.3042:

If the devs are reading.

For the umpteeth time, it needs to cleanse all snares before rolling back, stun the target, and have the damage removed.

What’s wrong with the damage? I don’t see the reason of removing it.

Wouldn’t be pretty sweet if Lightning Reflexes removed Cripple, Chill, and immobilize on cast? Ya’know like the skills Withdraw and Roll for Initiative. Or am I asking for too much?

Pet ai? Nope. Pets are just a copy of mobs you would find in pve, nothing more nothing less.

Since the recent patches I have been getting a ton of lag(rubberbanding) and disconnects from Frostgorge Sound from ONLY this zone, and this is not fps lag. I have talked to other players/guildies on my server and they are also having this issue and some are not. I was in Frostgorge the day before the patches without any issue also I am on Blackgate, not sure if this helps any.

rmprodigy.4679:

Stay tuned 2 hour +video coming out

I watched your videos, it’s pretty much your 25-30 man guild force wiping 5-10 bg pugs that were not on their commander and out of position. Do you have videos of the night your guild took reset, I think it was week 2? Or do you only post videos of your guild killing out of position pugs and pug zergs?

Now the fun part.

What was the 50% reward?

I’ve got 25%, 50%, and 75% rewards. All had a bit of silver, some karma consumable, a green, and one of them (I’m assuming the 25%) had a Gilded Coffer.

LOL 25 percent. I seriously doubt that. From now on if any server says they pushed 50 percent, they need to provide proof.

Scroll up to my screenshot bro

Hey, just wonderin why the GD force that just golem rushed overlook in ebg a few minutes ago had the iron hide buff, pretty much all of them had it. I’m not jumping to conclusions that you guys are a bunch of kittening cheaters, there could be a logical explanation to this. Like even when you guys were running around the second floor of inner you still had the buff, I personally didn’t see any rams anywhere, though I did hear there’s a bug where you still have the iron hide buff even when you get off a ram, I don’t know how to replicate this.

Super Kruegs.8967:

BG miltia is bad and they should feel bad.

Four random BG, no voip, no comp, versus eight FA (Six APS, two pugs), possible voip, most likely no comp. You may notice I put a numbers over two Knights because one is a mesmer and the other is a necro. I was the only BG that got downed in that fight due to a JQ on a cannon in bay.

Super Kruegs.8967:

Rigal nice come back you’re really getting into the swing of the PvF. Need to create some kind of rivalry here and you’re helping out so thanks. We don’t make excuses we make bags appear from the enemies we hath slayed. My point and i’ll make it one more time for all people with blinders on your average run of the mill BG miltia is bad and they should feel bad. Your map blobs are good (Best in NA i’d argue), and your guilds are above average, but random guy out there is TC level bad, and many other servers have much better overall players per capita so to speak than you. I’m sure it’s fairweathers, and bandwagoners but it’s for reallzy i swearz.

Pm me ingame whenever you’re ready to 1v1. Also this is the only way i’ve seen FA been able to take something(First picture). Second picture is Bgbl hills reset night, took those two groups and 45m to take hills from 25bg. gg bros.

Special ops AC’s from Fear last night. Fully zoomed out camera doesn’t get over the wall or around the door from there. gg bros.

Don’t buy them, they are not worth it. Bought around 30, 5 of them didn’t work, the rest I was ported to areas multiple times, and none of these areas were memorable at all.

Way to go TW, portray that your server is a bunch of trolls to the players of JQ, BG, and to many others guesting to those servers. gg

Just be happy we saved Orr for you.

Hey, i’m not complaining, i’m cheering you guys on, and good thing I did my farming before you guys got there. :P

My first post was infracted, lol.

Handin.4032:

To the IRON who are killing people for the dolyak parade: are you guys that desparate to get kills you have to kill people who are not attacking back? Seriously…its really kinda sad. Yes, we’re in a pvp zone, that doesn’t make it any less sad…

You can’t complain, you’re in a pvp zone, tell your buddies to guest to bg and then have your parade in a pve zone.

1) what would you like to see?
Challenging team/solo boss fights that don’t contain uncreative, lazy, kitten one shot mechanics(Liadri), which are not challenging but just stupid.

2) what would you consider yourself (hardcore or casual)?
I consider myself as hardcore player.

I’m in. +1

TC where are you?

Not all servers are interested in fighting the BG blobs all the time.

JQ got sick of it, TC is sick of it. Honestly, SoR would probably be sick of it if they weren’t used to it from T2 and is mostly full of stubborn diehard people.

But BG finally got what they’ve always wanted, un-competitive wins.

Agreed, and i’m sick of fighting this constantly.
(In the first pic there’s another 20-30 sor in the lords room hallway as well including another omega)

Waypoint fees are like nothing, stop complaining.

I don’t think the skill should be removed but it should change, like require at least 20 orbs and/or have a long cooldown, I’ve had one person spawn three of them on me within thirty seconds. Also I often encounter mute karka where I could not hear them come out of the ground or their skills, I don’t usually get killed by karka but if I do it’s usually by these guys.

So life like.
