Guild Wars 2

Glad to see some people actually discussing this. Keep it up please. All I wanted to do is enlighten people that combo fields/finishers were there and that they can be extremely useful in combat. Too many people, especially down here at the bottom of the barrel, don’t know about these things for some reason.

Inverted.7439:

:( i just started making this exact thing and there you go and 1-up me

:D great minds?

SniffyCube.6107:

these are all on the wiki

That’s why I put the link in there. By the way, best of luck to you guys on your new server, Sea of Sorrows was it? I gotta know, did people give you guys as much trouble as they did Flappy and BC when they left? Anyways, good luck Sniffy.

Floofs.3574:

I always preferred goldfish or bugles honestly, I can blast finish those things all day.

ooohh guuuuurrrlll you know I love me some Bugles hahaha ;D

@Dual
Just want people to know about these things and use them, you can always organize it later. I see too many people that don’t even realize their abilities are finisher/fields….. it really makes a guy go all sad panda ya know? :

Bad Thread, we like fighting SF again, they always bring lots of lootbags for us! Even if you think they are picking on us, it’s not like they can help it, we have maybe 5-10 people on at times, especially since 3 of our larger guilds transferred last week. Quit Hatin Ehmry Bay……

Not sure if it’s a Troll or simply knows nothing of the elementalist profession…..the combo field generators as I like to call them……I hope it’s a troll for the troll’s sake.

So I figured I’d make this sorta guide because 99% of people seem to be clueless to combo fields and finishers, which makes me go what the %#@^!!! So, here’s a list of what combo finisher does what in each combo field. ET please read this!!!!!! >.<

Fire Field:
Leap- Grants you a fire aura(it burns anyone that attacks you)
Blast-Grants 3 stacks of might to 5 players including you in the area
Physical projectile-apply 1 sec of burning on the target you hit
Whirl-launches multiple projectiles that apply burning(1s)

Water Field:
Leap-decent Heal(2k or so)
Blast-Area Healing to 5 including yourself
Projectile-Apply regeneration to yourself for 2s
Whirl-launches healing bolts

Dark Field:
Leap-apply blindness on hit
Blast-area blindness
Projectile-Steal health with next hit(damage is based on you)
Whirl-Leeching bolts

Light Field:
Leap-grant retaliation to yourself for 5s
Blast-aoe retaliation for 3 secs
Projectile-remove a condition on hit
Whirl-cleansing bolts(remove multiple conditions)

Ethereal Field:
Leap-grant yourself Chaos Armor for 5s
Blast-aoe chaos armor for 3s
Projectile-apply confusion(5s) on hit
Whirl-confusing bolts(5s)

Ice Field:
Leap-Grant yourself Frost armor(5s)
Blast-aoe Frost armor 3s
Projectile-apply chill on hit
Whirl-chilling bolts

Poison Field:
Leap-weakness(8s) on hit
Blast-area weakness 5s
Projectile-apply poison (2s)
Whirl-poison bolts

Smoke Field:
Leap-grant stealth(3s)
Blast-aoe stealth 3s
Projectile-apply blind on hit
Whirl-blinding bolts

Lightning Field:
Leap-Dazing strike
Blast-aoe Swiftness
Projectile-apply vulnerability on hit
Whirl-Brutal bolts(honestly I’m not sure what these do, I think they apply vuln but I’m not 100%)

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Combo

Or you can just go here and get much more information than I’m willing to give you, and if you land a finisher in a combo field you will almost always hear your character say something confirming a combo was made. How people can play without using combos is absolutely beyond me, your going to be missing out on ~50% of your efficiency in a fight if you don’t use them people!!!!!

It’s really not that bad for us here on ET, if you guys were to check out the EU matchup this week you would see that vabbi and fissure of woe are getting absolutely decimated…I think vabbi is still under 20k for the week and fissure isn’t much more than that….besides I actually don’t mind this new revolving door of matchups, it gives me new lootbags to kill each week ;D Don’t recruit anymore people to ET it didn’t work last time and it wont work this time either. I’d rather be completely outmanned like vabbi and fissure so the devs might actually have to do something about this unfortunate failure of a balance.

@Drein I would be willing to bet that they way they count a server’s population is relative to how many accounts are on that server, which probably means that our server population numbers are filled with dead numbers(accounts that don’t log on and the like) because ET is a ghost town every time I’m on, even in LA. I’ve guested to other servers and if I don’t end up in the LA queue, I’ll end up in a sea of people :/ I don’t understand how we can be a “very high pop server”…..from the things I see, its got to be false.

Aye yo FC!!! havin fun in your new completely almost as unbalanced as ours….uh matchup? XP MOOOBS!!!!! Oh wait, your not moobs anymore, DOH! Have fun guys.

lol….outnumbered you say, Nee? This is how ET likes to fight, I’m glad all those guilds transferred away.

Gotta love these cowardly baddies who keep getting stomped everytime they come over, so they’re just gonna wait til we log off and hide behind the seige until then XD
From my count there’s at least 20 of them total in the area which is twice what we have on the entire map.

Jayne.9251:

Aw I adore the folks on ET. My second account is there. I often go there to hide out when I’m exhausted from tier 2 and you guys never fail to bring a smile to my face. You consistently wipe zergs twice your size, you all have a fabulous attitude, you never give up … I adore you all.

I think everyone should make a second account on your server and help you guys out. I’m looking at you guys in Tier 2/Tier 1. Mhmmm….

I’m insulted by your post, I work very hard to keep up my bad attitude, dagnabit!!! >.<

P.S. the mhmmmm is comin off creepy…..freak.

Waggs.1702:

Oh god. We’re back. Happy to see us?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I totally called this last week, I knew you folks couldn’t stay away…..lol I seriously can’t stop laughing XD welcome back guys ;P

Servers like NA’s ET/FC or EU’s Vabbi/Fissure of Woe are in tiers 8 and 9 respectively because we are simply outnumbered by every server we come across and so then more players still on the server give up and go play PvE/SPvP instead of getting farmed in WvW. There was one beautiful week for FC and ET where we actually weren’t outnumbered and we finished that week in 1st and 2nd for the matchup, then by the next match we had already lost a bunch of players due to transferring out or going back to PvE, specifically our night time players.

I used to think that joining FC/ET into one server would be a decent fix to this problem, but that might make us too strong because then players might actually come to WvW and we then be the server outnumbering everyone. Now I don’t know what the answer might be, because as of right now there’s very little to no appeal to join any of these servers, especially if you have to pay for it. Then again, the free transfer program a few weeks ago really didn’t help out the few servers who actually needed it anyways.

I personally cant wait to get blown out in our new matchup. Maybe they should just change the way WvW is organized and make it just GreenvRedvBlue instead of labeling it as ServervServer since that situation is clearly failing all of us atm. Make it like SPvP, with matchmaking as soon as you join it after a reset where you will see a list of available options and then be asked to choose one for the week. WvW is broken right now regardless of the ratings before or after today’s “fix”. Just my long-winded 2 cents

HeavenlyCreation.4958:

HoD – 245,071
FC – 134,711
ET – 118,984

FYI Press Ctrl+Shift+ Prt Scr to take a screenshot, where you will find that screenshot in the guild wars 2 file in your documents files(at least that’s where mine is). The text in game will tell you where the file was sent.

5/31 T8 Darkhaven/ Devona’s Rest/ Eredon Terrace, because why the hell not…..Can’t wait to see all the PvEers come back to WvW tonight only to leave in a few days never to return, just like what happens every time there’s a WvW patch………I sometimes dream about what it’s like to be on a server with players that are actually dedicated to WvW, then I wake up to my nightmare. :’(

ET hates HoD, HoD hates FC, and no one has any respect for ET…….there, everyone understand now? Nothing but children in here, I can’t wait for you all to be gone
Then ET can have a new server to completely obliterate us due to a lack of numbers/skill/tactics/numbers…….Knew I shoulda transferred to seafarer’s rest when I had the chance >.<

WvW makes me sad…..They should just mash FC and ET together so we can actually compete with other servers in coverage….Looks like we might get devona’s rest next matchup so here’s to hopefully meeting some new zerglings ;(

yeh.
Its a .com making it better than Borlis already.

lol someone needs to get you a cookie.

Havvik Nightseeker.3485:

One of LK did the math and the highest HoD can reach is borlis pass. So I’m guessing ET/FC would be one rank below that

Odds are, we both end up with one of the T7 servers….Doen’t really matter though, if we keep coming out with these small numbers of uneducated players we’ll never win anything anyways. Can’t wait for memorial weekend to be over so we can see how many people are actually still around.

Well tonight was dissapointing……

Thaia.5146:

1. Anti Stealth Traps are USELESS. Period.
10 supplies and nearly 4 seconds cast? Really? Seriously guys? Thief will kill me before I open my Inventory…
2. Thieves can easily escape from EVERY fight. He starts a fight, loses, stealths, heals and resets (or escapes)… and so on. Two days ago I saw a Thief kiting 2 people AND killing a Dolyak in the same time… that’s insane…
3. There is no possible way to counter stealth. I am asking – WITH WHAT? With that useless traps?
4. The risk of roaming as a Thief is 0. Beautiful, round ZERO. He can run away whenever he wants.
I have leveled an Engineer especially for WvW (because my Ele was nerfed again, and no – I’m not talking about D/D but about my Mist Form) and I use dual Pistols + H S B U Elixirs and Supply Crate of course. Traits: 10/30/0/30/0. Armor: Power/Vit/Condi. I have a question – how am I supposed to fight versus someone who is invisible 75% of the time? Glue Shot immobilize and Supply Crate stuns are useful but still – they only let me to harass him – not kill…

An engi that can’t kill thieves with ease? That’s a first for me, AoEs and confusion help, so does learning to time his Backstabs/Sneak attacks so you can dodge them, its roughly a 3 second interval between when the thief enters stealth and then pops out of it. The reason being that they use stealth to cleanse conditions and recover init/health, so getting that timing down is going to make you a thief stomping machine in no time, condi builds aren’t always as effective against thieves though since you don’t necessarily have the burst to kill him the moment he comes at you. For your engi, nade kit should be all you need to kill him. Just keep spamming the nades where he’s mostly likely going to be in stealth, which is probably just circling around to your back side. Takes practice, that’s all.

P.S. shouldn’t this topic be in the engi forum instead? The anti stealth traps are designed for preventing enemies coming into a tower/keep to not be able to stealth their way in, I thought. Don’t think they’ll be at all effective in a 1v1 scenario to be honest.

^Arrow carts are sooo OP……. I personally rarely run into PAXA, and the few times I’ve fought some of you, 3 of you just bursted me down as fast as you can while i was fighting one of you that was off by their own. Now I’m not a fan of small groups doing that, because if I kill your friend you can just pick them up afterwards because if I’m roaming, I’m not looking to fight 1v4 so I’ll back off but I do think it shows a lack of class when 5 people gang up on 1 roamer. 5v1 isn’t even remotely a fair fight and for “PvPers” as you claim to be, you shouldn’t be interested in those odds anymore than that 1 roamer is. That’s just my thought, but if you guys are just there to rack up the kills by grouping up and being a tight nit group with synergy, fine play the game you payed for the way you want. Thats your right after all.

So I guess when its 30+ on 5 of us, this shows a lack of class on all 30+ players according to your logic.

That depends on whether you choose to engage really. If you attack 30+ with 5 then that’s on you regardless of the outcome, but 5v1 is different than 25vs5 as I’m sure those 25+ didn’t sneak up on you. How could they unless you were afk?. My post is directed at a small group of 5 attacking one roamer as a group, not at small groups trying to take out big groups. If you disagree thakitten shows a lack of class for 5 to gang up on 1, then that’s your right. It’s a free country where I live, how about you? As for your broad generalization of “my logic”, i’ll just chalk that up to you being an angry child, since that’s how you felt was best to respond to me. Just tellin it how I see it, lol.

I love how ppl make rules when it applies to them only. But when its reversed they back pedal, and change there rules again. What If we don’t have a choice and still see them coming. U have a choice as well when u see 5. Or is our choice different I need to know all the rules u play by so I can answer correctly.

Again the original post was because someone called us out and ppl got kitten by the video. None of this would of even started if no one said a thing about us. I love also how start name calling or assuming things with angry child comment. Grow up.

lol no one backpeddled, I just needed to explain to you what my post was referring to, since you clearly weren’t able to infer it on your own. I call it like I see it, and how I see it is that you responded to me like an angry child, lol. It’s not name calling, just how I saw your response, maybe I’m wrong, but your responses leave me to believe that I’m not. I’m certainly not applying any rules upon you either, again I’m just stating my opinion. If you don’t like it than ignore me, or you can keep responding, as I said before like an angry child……Also,
I love also how start name calling or assuming things with angry child comment.
^^^You should pay more attention in class I’m finding it hard to share my thoughts with you, when you can’t even form a sentence properly.

Anyways……Here’s a Score update if anyone cares about that. This nonsense about T1 vs T8 is silly as hell btw, If people were willing to listen, there are plenty of folks here on ET who can teach you how to WvW “like the pros”. Problem is, the few of you who even show up wont bother to listen no matter how many times we explain things. That’s been my experience with this server anyways. Can we talk about something other than PAXA and this higher tiers are better than us garbage this next week?

lol As funny as these types of incidents are, they can become frustrating…..haha first time I got stuck in that position though

Mace+Shield/Greatsword, So far this is my preferred weaponset in WvW. Just keep a staff handy though for some swiftness. GS for dmg and M/S for survivability

nicknamenick.2437:

weird.. forum bug? lol

lol wondering the same. I never said you needed to take it all, just that there’s plenty there for you to have survivability. I survive zerg fights all day long with berserker gear, so from where I’m sitting, warriors are in a decent spot. They certainly aren’t the worst in survivability either.

Only a WvW player would have no idea what Dark Aidget is talking about because WvWers only WvW and have no idea how PvE works and only use the heart of the mists for testing builds.

Also From now on can we not do these stupid Q&A threads, its not helping anyone get constant score updates and its much easier to just sift through the posts without it. Please and thank you.

Bllade.1029:

Dear ET,

You will not leave 3rd place by attacking HoD. If you do not care, continue doing what you’re doing.

Sincerely,

HoD

Dear VLK guild of HoD, its very fun to constantly wipe your guildies, as they tend to make for almost decent warmups. ;P I’m a mean one…..what was that guys name again? lol

Hematuria.4051:

WvW Matchup Changes!
World vs. World matches are about to get an injection of variety! With these changes you can look forward to facing new opponents in new matchups and testing your world’s skill against more foes!

Considering we are one of the least populated servers, what does this mean?

You, like us on ET will probably get screwed over…..like we did with SF I have no hope for this coming change.

GS/Hammer for zergvszerg
S/WH for moving from one area to another
Longbow for tower Defense/Assault
No need for specific rotations just pop the best ability for whatever happens next and the most important thing to learn is……..

you’ve got to, KNOW WHEN TO HOLD EM’, KNOW WHEN TO FOLD EM’……..lol

Daecollo.9578:

Class Description.
As a heavily armored soldier profession, warriors are only second to guardians in terms of enduring punishment.

Classes that are good at Enduring Punishment by List:
- Ranger. (Evade Spam/Mobility/Protection/Vigor/High Regeneration/Takes considerably less damage when almost dead.)
- Guardian. (Constant Protection/Vigor/High Regeneration.)
- Elementalist. (Constant Protection/Vigor/Regeneration.)
- Engineer. (Constant Protection/Vigor/Regeneration.)
- Mesmer. (Evades/Invuln Spam/Blinks.)
- Thief. (Evade Spam/Stealth Spam/Teleports.)
- Necromancer. (Bad Traits, Life-force doesn’t trait well with other skills.)
- Warrior. (No protection/Poor Condition Removal/Bad Traits.)

Something is wrong.

Signet of stamina can remove ALL conditions and with signet mastery its on a 36sec cd. this doesn’t include shake it off, which you can gain through a trait as well as the mending heal which will cure another 2, warrior has plenty of condi cleansing ability one of the best imo. as far as survivability you can have 2 5sec endure pains if you trait it, and with the right traits it can take a long time to finally lock a warrior down for other players. Warriors also have the highest health if I’m not mistaken, being capable of reaching 32k+ health pools. So the warrior can be plenty tanky with a ton of survivability. That is, if you actually know what your doing……which any who disagree with me on this, surely don’t. FYI to reach the 32k hp you need to use sentinel/shaman gear, but its definately possible.

10sec is too short, needs to be 12sec base with 30 arcana making it 9, none of this will change the fact that other traitlines need to be…..lets use the word edited

I’m actually all for removing attunement swapping and making the different types of spells be based on weapon sets rather than having to switch attunements(like other profs), would be nice to use a fire spell without being locked out of using earth/air/water spells at the same time. This would open us up to get new weaponsets such as torch and maybe maces to make up for losing the 20 spells we have atm. Turn f1-f4 into one spell of each element that has its own cd, these would act more like engis toolbelt abilities. I think thats the best way to clean up this hot mess that eles have become where there’s next to no build viability and such low baseline stats across the board compared to all other profs. Staff ele still reigns supreme in my opinion, Combo Generator Extroardinare. Give me dual torches for my ele!!!

Rok.5260:

I’ve been invited by other players after being able to defeat them to their parties to chat with them before and it mostly wasn’t good. First time I accepted an invite after I killed a player he said “kitten you” then left the group. Other times most players act all condescending to me which I just find weird, funny and uncomfortable…

Earlier today I downed a thief, he kept spamming invite and I just declined multiple times, was I being rude?

So just wondering if I should or should not accept invites from enemy players after beating them, or is it rude not to accept invites from other players you’ve defeated in WvW?

If you can’t handle an insult don’t accept, plain and simple. If you dont mind the insults but occasionally wanna say gg or wp to someone you had a good fight with, then by all means accept. Nothing rude about either choice really.

highlandria.7941:

On a side note. % wise how many people do you believe are on gw2 and are drunk or high on sunday at 7pm est.
My guess 32.4%

Hahahaha you must be new to ET High, Home of the most hesitant pugs you will ever find. Trust me your not the first person on this server to lead a push and come to find out you were actually just committing suicide lol. I blame all of my repair bills on ET players not pushing into the zergs with me. Its like no one has ever played Starcraft before, zerglings are one of the weakest units in the game people, and this very much applies to GW2 WvW as well, lol. All you can do is soldier on, try to teach as many as you can or simply get up and leave to join another server like plenty already have. Keep it up High, your a good commander.

FYI my guess is 89.7% ;P and that includes the good players too.

Why is this not a weaponset for any profession? It would be awesome to have incinerator and rodgort as your two weapons don’t you think? Give it to rangers and eles most likely, Eles should have torch skills anyhow imo. Still, isn’t it odd that no prof can produce this weaponset? Rangers could probably do with a mainhand dagger just to avoid the horrid sword animations that lock you out of abilities. If I’m not mistaken this is the only weaponset that cannot be produced in the game currently, change it!!!

Mace #4 Symbol of Worship
Grants Stability (1s) to you and allies inside of the symbol
Damage: 168
symbol radius 180
4 sec duration

Mace #5 Colossus Strike
Knock down your opponent
Damage: 780
Knockdown: 2 seconds
Range: 130

Or something like that ;P I want dual maces dagnabit >.< or dual torches perhaps? o.O

Chaosky.5276:

Conncept.7638:

One with Fire should be changed so that flame barriers chance increases the longer you are in fire as well as persisting for a certain amount of time after swapping attunements.

Flame Barrier would be pretty useless even if it functioned like a Fire Aura, because:

1: We already have access to plenty of Burning.

2: Getting hit is a terrible idea when playing as the class with the lowest defense in the game. (Even bunkers rely on avoiding and healing through damage, so sitting in Fire and facetanking ain’t an option.)

3: Even if you’re running a condition build, you’ll want to remain in Earth as much as possible to stack Bleeding.

4: It’s limited to freakin’ melee range.

If you run a signet build with fires embrace you’ll constantly have a fire shield up which means more might for you and more burning on them so its not useless so much as it is situational, which is the point of build variety. No such thing as one size fits all folks, those pants will only stretch so far

harrjm.5749:

I was working on a build when I stumbled up something that I thought would be quite a nifty build. It involves using all three cantrip skills + Sooting Disruption + Spell Slinger traits. Spell slinger makes it so when you use a cantrip you get 3 stacks of might. Soothing Disruption makes it so when you use any of those cantrips you get regeneration and vigor. So I figured this would be a great build as at any time I could pop a skill and have instant DPS gain, while healing up any dmg, and being able to dodge out of more dmg faster.

The only problem Ive found with this is that the regeneration seems negligible. For example. Regens formula is:
5 + (1.5625 * Level) + (0.125 * Healing Power)

Im currently level 68 with 100 healing power. That makes it 123.75 hp a second for the full 7 seconds would let me regen about 866 hp out of my 12,400 total hp. While that is not afwul it is very slow and hardly noticable, especially if you take another hit it pretty much would have made no difference. But of course that is a very low healing power, what if I were to drop a bunch of equipment or runes into healing power to make the difference. So I substitued mt 100 healing power for 1000, not even sure if thta attainable, to see what changes it would make.
5 + (1.5625 * 68) + (0.125 *1000) = 236.25 * 7 = 1653.75.

So in other words I would have to have 10x the healing power just to double the hp regened. And even then its only 1600 out of 12,000 hp regened over a 7 second period. Plus at that point I would have to be pretty much spec’d for healing power instead of power/vit/etc. So is that really worth even using?

The thing about healing power eles is that the regeneration boon isn’t our only form of regen. Looking at the actual stats on my ele with Cleric/magi gear I get about 320 from the signet, regen will tick for 280 and the regen from water attune gives me 140, add these up and you get 740hp/sec roughly in combat, that doesn’t even include the 2.5k heal just for switching into water or evasive arcana for that matter. The crazy amount of healing going on for healing power eles makes for being incredibly tanky, which I thoroughly enjoy I currently have 1160 healing power so im not even maxed out on it either, got some PVT gear mixed in for the extra toughness and vitality atm.

The only thing that should be improved about staff is the base damage of the #1 abilities specifically fire #1 it should be a bigger hit then it is currently and Earth #1 should stack 1 sec of bleed imo like it does underwater Water #2 could use a small dmg increase as well or even just increase the stacks of vulnerability it applies perhaps Staff works fine with eles, I can hold choke points like a mad man with my ele, so I see very little wrong ith ele atm.

Score Update before I try to level this guardian with cooking. xP I hope this works lol.
Sorry Leogolas lol but we did have some good fun playin keep away at bravost for over an hour ;P

@Ungood I have no interest in PvE or any of this living story stuff so you’ll have to excuse me if I just think all that is unnecessary. Honestly I don’t even know where southsun cove is on the map lol and I don’t plan on finding out either.

Ungood.3054:

Parktou.4263:

@ obastable I only QQ because I wanna actually earn a win, not get 2nd place by default because you guys were on vacation. >.< lol

Do you really think HoD would care if ET took a vacation or boycotted WvW?

Anyway. Waiting for Monday to roll around before I hit WvW again, Weekends are always a mad house.

Thats too bad Ungood, cause we just capped SM, and frankly I never care what anyone else thinks, but I prefer to earn my wins rather than my competitors just give up and roll over. I’d much rather go down swingin than be handed victory. I don’t know whether HoD just doesn’t like playing during the week or if they took a break at southsun. All I know is that I’m lookin for a fight this week, that and I want my guardian to be leveled up already >.< PvE is boring!!!!

#COMEATMEBRO

It will probably be a condition similar to weakness in that it will directly reduce the damage the affected player can do, ie: that player will hit you for 1k instead of the 2k they normally would have hit you for, which will probably prompt them to change weakness so it only effects endurance regen instead of also causing 50% fumble which causes non crits to be glancing blows essentially doing less damage. Or they will come up with something overpower that will lock you out of healing abilities while affected by it. They should just focus on fixing the versatility of using different builds for each profession first. Like making ele builds with 0 points in Arcane actually worth it lol.
I also think they should just add one more weapon to all the professions, like giving torches to eles and letting guardians dual-weild maces, it also doesn’t make sense to me that warriors can use LB and Rifle but not Pistol & SB. Give me exp in SPvP so I can level up and enjoy the game at the same time >.< pwease :’(

Wouldn’t it be nice if getting to Rank 80 didn’t take 20 years?

lol MMO=grind though, unfortunately

Zerker mesmers do wreak havoc with their shatters, even tanky mesmers can wreck you if they spam it right, might wanna seriously think about putting a shared cd on all shatter abilities so they can’t just spam them and instawin. Put something like a 1 or 2 second cd on it so there’s atleast some interval before the next 3 clones shatter on you and then probably 2 more right after that for the 3rd shatter in a row that the mesmer standing on top of you spammin blurred frenzy is gonna send your way. They are counterable, but only really by the more tanky players who have just enough cc and damage to lock those mesmers down after blurred frenzy and burst them down. I’ve done it on my warrior before with hammer but even on my theif I have a lot of trouble with mesmers who spam their shatters for burst. The shared 2 sec cd would alleviate the current burst potetential of mesmers without ruining the class IMO. I’m sure you will all disagree with me though, so please feel free.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you cam start a new toon and use sPvP to level up, I like WvW, even though I’m NA t8 WvW is still the funnest part of the game for me. But I have to wait until I hit level 80 to truly be effective in WvW, but at the same time I absolutely dred PvE, not just in this game but in any other game as well, its just not for me. So I ask you, wouldn’t it be nice if we could hop in on a fresh toon and play spvp AND gain exp while doing so, that way I can level up my characters without having to dread the next hour I’m going to spend walking through a forest not enjoying the game that I actually want to enjoy. Doesn’t seem like such a terrible or outlandish idea to me, I’m willing to bet that I can count on my hands the number of players who only ever log into sPvP. Please let me gain exp while sPvPing let me enjoy your game the way I want to enjoy it!!!

Meh, it wont happen but, IT WOULD BE NICE MR DEVELOPERS, IF IT DID.

HoD is officially back from vacation? fml…..I’m fairly cetain I counted about 50+ of you around LV an hour ago, why you have to outnumber me bro? You guys know I can only tank 30 of you for about 60 seconds before I go poof ;P

Below is my build. It isn’t very good I assume. I like playing mace/shield as I like to heal/support and I think it look kittening kitten. I also like staff as secondary for obvi reasons. I play WvW almost exclusively. Can anyone help me out with a good mace/shield build? Or if mace/shield is worthless for WvW let me know as well. I wear full knights armor (except gloves are soldiers) and all my trinks/jewelry are soliders.

Thanks.

if you want to support id recommend hammer over mace/any, hammer outdamages mace and 33% damage reduction and a spammable blast finisher outperform maces tiny heals and regen
edit: checked your build, good trait setup but even spec’d for symbols the heals are still low especially for a wvw situation where normally youll be moving, i prefer shouts with pure of voice because they work well in all situations (even with shouts sanctuary is a great utility for certain situations), elites are optional as none of them are great
also your armor (assuming its exotic) is perfect for wvw (if you want to go the extra mile for support you could use 6 runes of the soldier for extra condition removal)

2nd edit: ive heard that lower tier wvw servers dont use the same tactics as t1 servers so if you find yourself standing still in longrange zerg fights symbol healing may be a bit more effective but imo still outperformed by pure of voice shouts

3rd edit: forgot to mention if you really want to go mace/shield pure of voice shouts is still probably better than symbols

4th edit: I probably should have said all of this the first time I made this post ;P hahaha

Mace/Shield is pretty nice when you think about it If you run AH then dropping your symbol will heal you everytime someone walks over it and shiled #4 is another heal because that grants boons too, #5 is a heal anyways plus another projectile barrier, we all know how rangers like to run glass bow and backpeddle as far away as they can. Mace #3 is a block and the great thing about all of these abilites is that they all do aoe damage so your going to be constantly tagging enemies which means your much more likely to rally if/when you get downed. The symbol traits are pretty nice in my opinion, healing your allies following you is actually a good thing in a zerg vs zerg plus your allies will get retaliation from all the blast finishers going off in your symbols which means more damage to the enemy zerg. I prefer consecration skills to shouts, but thats just me.

Maybe it’s just me but doesn’t anyone else think that if an enemy stands inside of a fire field, that they should get burned or take any kind of damage? Just seems odd to me that since its blue fire, apparently it doesn’t hurt. >.< Also the animation is really lacking for a so called fire field, should probably look more like warriors Combustive Shot imo, hell keep the blue flames, but it stills seems strange that an enemy walking in this combo field doesn’t suffer for doing so, especially since they are IN THE FIRE. idk my 2 cents I suppose.
