This thread is useless without a score update!

Just because you don’t like forum wars, doesn’t mean some of us don’t have fun fighting here on the 4th Borderland…

Technically wouldn’t the forum be the 5th Borderland? Your math seems off, must have been a late night lol. Bring your level 15 engi Moobs, I’ve got a level 4 guadian ready to destroy you!!!!! >.< hehe

Magnificent Mike’s “Get in and Get out” Zerg-hopping build xD

Basically I made this build for WvW so that I could go into another zerg, do my damage, drop CCs on the crowd to cut stragglers off from the main force, and also get out of the zerg and back to mine BEFORE getting downed. I find myself leading the push most of the time, mostly because I know that I can get to their backline and do big damage while controlling their attempted escape with my CC which also means I"m usually the farthest one into their group, so I also need to be able to get myself back to my group so I can get healed, recharge some of my cds and then get right back in there.

30 points in defense is pretty self explanatory, Dogged march & Last Stand for when they try to lock me down and defy pain for the extra endure pain.

20 points in tactics, I did this primarily for the shrug it off trait(extra cleanse?! Hell yeah!) but I also feel like taking leg specialist makes the hammer just an absolutely deadly weapon against those pesky zerglings and having an easy immobilize with GS to lock them down for 100b is pretty nice from time to time (not great but still worth it imo).

20 points in Disc because the short weapon swaps for extra adrenaline make combat much smoother and signet mastery is nice for a 3 signet warrior like me. I use mobile strikes because its just another set of abilities that makes it near impossible to lock me down when I’m runnin around your zerg blowin things up.

As far as runes and sigils go, I’ve basically switched to sigil of energy on almost all of my characters at this point because its just that good imo, my mindset being I wont have to cleanse/heal it if I can just dodge it. For this build I’m thinking of using either the runes of Mercy for lightning quick pickups, or if I had the gold I would probably get melandru runes for the shorter conditions on me. I use primarily berserkers gear with soldiers chest/legs(these armor slots provide more stats than others) and you can’t see it but right now I’m running with 0 exotics because you just don’t need those extra stats folks, Talent will always beat out the gold in your pocket(of which I have none lol) and I do just fine with the gear I have btw.

I personally prefer to use Greatsword & Hammer with this build but I’m often switching GS out for whichever weaponset will benefit me most at the time, like using S/WH for moving around the map or Longbow for tower defense/assault. Honestly you can use any weaponset you want with this build as none of the traits really apply to one specific weaponset. Even leg specialist would work with almost every weapon you may wanna use. I like using healing surge because its simply the best heal available as it gives you full adrenaline and the highest possible single heal for warriors. I always keep endure pain, Signet of stamina(Even moar dodges) and Signet of Rage on my bar because their just great utilities. I also use Signet of Dolyak for the stability and passive toughness but I tend to switch it out for signet of fury when I whip out my longbow so I can drop my firefield more often when hitting towers/groups of assaulters.

For Food buffs and the like, the only food buff I ever use myself is the omnomberry bars for MF and extra gold, but if you have OCD and actually care about maximizing you might try lemongrass for food and the master maintenance oil will work well if you want even more crit chance.

P.S. Only real men wear Pink armor.

Combo Fields need to be explained to noobs.

in Suggestions

Posted by: Parktou.4263

Parktou.4263

Point Blank, there are far too many players that have no idea how to use combo fields/finishers and you should add in a tutorial when a player first creates a character where the player is then forced to use a combo field several times in differing ways to learn how they work. Combo fields/finishers are so incredibly crucial to any fight I don’t understand how so many players just don’t know how to utilize them.

Oh sorry I didn’t notice. Still ganking just as much as I was before. Still using Elixir S just as I was before, I use it to soak up the noticeable big hits. Stop using it as a get out of jail free heal. We aren’t broken, the sky is not falling. Either learn to play or adapt your build. There are still viable builds. I really hope most of you don’t go through life giving up on everything that gives a little resistance, because you won’t make it very far! Theorycraft , test new builds give everything a shot. It doesn’t hurt you to try, if you ride the flavor of the month train you will continuously be disappointed.

Mace main hand

Posted by: Parktou.4263

Parktou.4263

My reply to your thread title is, WHY?! lol mace 2 CB is nice I suppose but not worth the other 2 abilities, Pommel Bash might be a good ability(since its a daze) but needing to be in melee range makes it rather useless most of the time, maybe if the daze was ranged like axe 3 or sword 2 even( I know its a leap but technically a gap closer counts as a ranged ability imo) I like mace 5 though, even though I never use maces lol.

How would you improve pistols?

in Thief

Posted by: Parktou.4263

Parktou.4263

I’m trying a new build focusing on evasion for survivability as opposed to stealth( in the case of 1v1s and zergy fights mostly) Currently I’m using P/P for the DPS/Pressure and I’m using D/D for the OH set(even though I hate Backstab thieves with a passion) All I have to do is use unload and my evades until I’m feeling too much pressure then pop black powder and switch to D/D for HS into stealth and chain CnD to reset or go in for the kill if I can get it. I’m havin fun with it so far mostly switching to PVT gear for now just to get used to it and then probably mix in some zerker gear for more finishing ability.

Build is 0/30/0/20/20
CS Traits- 1, 5, 11
Acro Traits- 3, 8
Trick- 5, 7

Basically just building up as much vigor as I can for the extra dodges and using CS for the extra pistol damage and the Killing power once they hit 50%. Once I switch in some zerkers it will be a little more effective but right now I’m tryin to get used to fighting without the stealth even though I still have CnD through D/D and the BP+HS combo. I usually run a P/D glass condi build, and it works against pretty much anyone who isn’t a super tanky guardian or ele with max condi-removal Pistols are good for thieves imo, very good.

Pistol OH #4

in Thief

Posted by: Parktou.4263

Parktou.4263

Now that short bow has gon from bad to worse, having a weapon set used for 1 single skill (#5) seems really bad…

What would you say if pistol #4 that is already bad and no one wastes init on it, what if it was change into a similar ability as SB #5 with shorter range?

SB will still be mandatory for wvwvw cuz of blastibe although its auto attack doesn’t even hit critters that move 1 step…

first off Pistol 4 is a wonderful ability with too small an init cost( IMO), and to say that SB 5 is mandatory in WvW means that either you run a Baskstab burst build and have no idea how to fight as a thief, but just wanna 1 shot people, or your just simply bad. SB is situational when it’s used, but you should be using it for the #4 poison field and #2 blast finisher, as well as #3 being great for getting a little breathing room against heavy hitting melees while your waiting for weapon swap/heal/etc to be available. if your a thief fighting in close range your gonna want weakness on your foe/s and SB is great at doing that if you don’t have 15 points in DA. SB still does what it needs to do, and pistol OH skills are still good as well.

EDIT: Body shot is pretty lame, but not entirely useless. 5 stacks of vulnerability on a ranged ability is better than most classes/profs get so even if most of us rarely use it, it’s still a pretty decent ability considering what it does. BS is about 10x better than Ele’s Scepter Water 2 which only applies 4 stacks of vulnerability and it has that terrible dlayed aoe that everyone and their mother can spot and avoid with ease lol.

Be positive guys! Switch to bunkers!

in Elementalist

Posted by: Parktou.4263

Parktou.4263

I mean, your panic doesn’t make ANet stop nerfing ele. So why cares. I mean, if you’re a bunker ele, this doesn’t really effect your at all. If you’re not a bunker ele? Just switch to be a bunker ele. This patch, ANet basically encourages rational ele players to play bunkers.

So, if you’re not a bunker ele, try one now! This patch, it’s not only just slightly better than other spec, it’s the best of the best, far better than the mediocre spec you’re running! Don’t believe me? Read more:

1> The opponent dodged your RtL, and it has 40s cooldown? Don’t worry, just be a bunker and fight them for 40 seconds. My condolences if you’re anything else.
2> The opponent bursts you rapidly. If you’re a bunker ele, you don’t need to care, just continue to fight. Your signet of restoration/regeneration/water regen will still give you around 800 HP/s with Cleric Amulet even with the nerf, not counting other burst heals. My condolences if you’re not a bunker ele, no more healing in mist form for you. Just relax, go get a cup of tea instead of mashing your keyboard trying in vain.
3> The opponent applies some conditions on you. As a bunker ele, nothing really changes for you. I mean, which bunker eles in their right mind use multiple cantrips at the same time right? My condolences for staff ele with water fields. I’m sorry.
….

Disclosure:
I play a 10/20/0/10/30 d/d spec, trying to be as offensive as possible without dying in one or two hits in pvp to all the berserker spec. I refused to play bunkers since to me it’s a trolling build. I have hoped that ANet will nerf bunkers some day. In my build, I relied on healing during mist form to stay alive because I only have 12K HP. I relied on RtL to get away. I relied on Cleansing Fire to clean conditions.

Sadly, this new patch, which “should promotes more build diversity” kills my build completely. Well, I guess I’ll just be positive and play bunker then. So I encourage you guys to switch to bunker and play it with me. The patch barely touches bunker spec, so lets play it!

Peace ~^_^~

One Problem, I’m not rational. I like using silly builds that shouldn’t work. Also they’re nerfing us this patch but probably building us up next patch. Gotta fix the hole in the wall before renovating your bathroom don’t cha? I’m hopin to someday be able to use a build with 30 in Fire

its not like I wasn’t exaggerating with almost the whole server here.

Ahahahaha That was a ton of fun, a bit of revenge for the 60 person zerg that was hitting us in Bay less than an hour ago. Only ET can have that many one hour, then be crying about being outnumbered the next.

Here is from my point of view an hour earlier, which was HILARIOUS!
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/5fdXD1C.jpg[/IMG]

It was KWBH, you shouldn’t expect any better lol. They seriously tried to tell me they were holding you at bay so you wouldn’t go for garrison……even though you guys took 60% of our map while they were “holding you there”, and getting wiped time after time. I’m seriously getting frustrated with all the inadequacy on this server, which is a shame because I like most of the people here. I especially liked the part where they all charged through the gate and went right into your 30 person zerg 1 at a time, that was incredibly hilarious from my PoV. Call me Negative Nancy if you want, but I’m just being honest.

Signet Condition Build

in Elementalist

Posted by: Parktou.4263

Parktou.4263

If your going S/F just use air 5 or water 5 before hopping into fire and immediately dropping DT, same effect without needing to take the earth signet.

Air 5 doesn’t last long enough for Dragons Tooth to hit, and water 5 does nothing to lock a target down.

They both work fine for me and water 5 combined with water 4 slows them enough that they either waste a dodge or get hit by the DT area, not to mention the daze from water 5 makes the bads think they’re stunned, lol. Either way your ability to land DT is not based off of having an immbolize, just got a know where to use it based off of what your opponent is going to do, you obviously can’t just drop wherever you want. I can hit air 5 and switch to fire and drop DT in time for it to land so I don’t see why anyone else shouldn’t be able to.

IMO, Ele is dead - 30th April Patch

in Elementalist

Posted by: Parktou.4263

Parktou.4263

What do u guys think about this?

Ele mist form locks you out of utilities (No more #6 healing in Mist form HUGE change)
RTL Changed to be 40 seconds, but if it hits something it will be 20 seconds (Blocks/invul ect count as a hit).
Signet of Restoration passive nerfed slightly.
30 Point trait that removes a condi upon gaining regen will have a 5 second CD (Trait is dead).
Conjure Duration increased (Still useless).

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/30th-April-Patch-Update/first

I’m gonna choose another class definatly. this sucks after all the time and money and gold invested on my main toon.

I don’t care about pvp, but healing in mistform is the only thing keeping me alive during high lvl fractals (50+) also putting a 5s cd on the only viable build for the ele is just nonsense. Pls don’t force us to use those (useless) conjure weapons outside AC p1 instead of the cantrip build?
At least give us something else, new options to play the ele.

Why you didn’t touched the guardian? 10-0-30-30-0 condition remove with shouts + soldiers rune, hold the line 28s cd, stand your ground 24s cd, retreat48s cd, every shout removes 2 conditions and transform 1 condi in 1 boon.
Our cantrips recharge in double this time and remove only 1 condition.
Pls reconsider these changes.

This is my personal opinion about this, hope this can help you reconsider these changes.

For now Ele is dead.

Peace

lol, what a quitter….I switched from the standard 0/10/0/30/30 D/D build to S/F 20/20/30/0/0 just for lulz and it suprisingly makes for a great mid range condi build if you use signets. I use cleric/invader armor with shaman trinks and I’m havin a ton of fun with it even if I can’t survive all of the 1vX fights like I used to. For the whiners that need an invuln ability to get their heal off(which is so unbelievable to me how many of you there are) use Focus 5 for a 4 sec invuln, and you can still have your mist form/panic button on top of that. I’ve literally been using just signet of water for condition cleansing the last few days and I’ve had no problem on that front.

Wow this forum sucks now lol.

ET’s biggest problem is the lack of a night crew and the fact that most of our commanders have no intent to ever defend anything, so why waste your gold to upgrade things if no one will defend it? also sick and tired of a lone commander calling everyone on the BL to them so they can zerg around with zero organization taking one target at a time. I rarely see anyone guarding dolyaks, upgrading camps(let alone towers/keeps) and there is certainly no multitasking going on at all. Take the camp while your waiting for the rams to knock down the gate, hell take 2 towers at once or even 3, 12 people=3 rams if you remember(15 for superior rams) and if they have ACs knockin out your rams, then back up and use catas on a wall for cryin out loud. Don’t even try to tell me that you need 40 people to take a tower because that’s just idiotic. Wanna know how to beat a server that just zergs around? Divide and Conquer… a ball of 40 imbeciles is hard to beat 1v1 but if you hit multiple towers on opposite sides of the map than they can’t get you both can they? Grade school level tactics but you don’t even use them. That’s why ET is red right now, no other reason. Suck it up and learn or get used to losing. FYI dolyaks at unupgraded camps will die before they reach their destination because the game sends random NPCs to attack them so Doly Defenders are a must until the first guard upgrade. But that’s my frustrated 2 cents, so I’m gonna go back to trollin and roamin now, thank you for reading.

P.S. Before someone tries to flame me for it, FoE when they’re on actually does things like this which is the only reason we don’t get obliterated on reset nights.

I made something similar, but using s/f since signet of earth is pretty much needed for dtooth anyway, and focus gives some needed condition removal and good ccs/defensive skills. not sure if it’d actually be any better though, but I’m trying to find a way to use that focus :p

If your going S/F just use air 5 or water 5 before hopping into fire and immediately dropping DT, same effect without needing to take the earth signet.

Parktou, would you have a video for us, could be interesting to show us your playstyle ![/quote]

Sorry to say I don’t but if you wanna try it, just try to stay at max range against most opponents(i.e. 900) It’s not a jack of all trades/can do anything build but if you find yourself in groups of 5+ it’s really fun because you can play offensively and devastate alot of players health pools while still being defensive and keeping glass rangers from focus firing your people from 1500 range. Best advice I can give is to have fun though, for me this is kind of a troll build, its not really my style, but I can make it work until they give us Dual torches XD the other thing is that once you understand the rotations, the problem your foes will find is that they have no idea what you can do to them, so they’ll either hesitate(making it easy) or charge in foolishly(making it slightly less easy) also the scepters just have better skins then daggers do, if your ele is an asura like mine :P

P.S. people keep getting lost in the condition cleansing because it’s so good, but the truth is that the cantrip-cleanse build is actually just overkill, sure if your in a zerg on zerg in WvW and you walk through 10 aoes your gonna get a lot of conditions and it will come in handy but most of the time that condi-cleanse potential gets completely wasted because it just isn’t NEEDED. just my 2 cents

I don’t think Flappy’s actually bragging about taking the keep. I’d say good job to someone who successfully hid a mesmer inside and was able to portal people in, because mesmer sweeps are very standard and getting one to stay inside is actually pretty difficult when the server you’re playing against does a proper sweep.

IF AND WHEN, lol. I always sweep, so I definately would have called it out, but there are a lot on ET that don’t, I’ll admit. I gave up on defending our BL along time ago, back when I was wasting my money to upgrade camps and towers. I say waste because by the time the upgrades are halfway done a zerg comes by and no one ever comes to defend -_- I probably could have saved up for a commander tag by now lol. Oh well, maybe I’ll go Flappy-hunting sometime this week ;P Pretty sure I already nailed BC back on reset night though, unless he has a twin on HoD :O lol

In a Zerg your just a jumbled mess of PvEers, PvPers(who actually have any semblance of skill), and of course the lowbies/noobs, so it really doesn’t matter unless you run in an organized guild with a specific gameplan that you have practiced many times over. If your a warrior, I’d say its pretty much a good bet you’ll want atleast nearly full zerker for those awesome #1 Crits Support classes would probably want to be tanky however. It all depends on how your ORGANIZED group likes to do things, emphasis on organized because if it isn’t than it just wont matter one way or the other.

LOL @Floppy Don’t get me wrong I got nothin against you and BC unlike others on ET but are you seriously bragging about taking a keep, that wasn’t defended? hahaha I mean, yes its sad they no one defended it but taking undefended keeps is easier than PvE, and PvE is mind-numbingly easy XD. Jokes aside I’m glad to see you guys, would prefer if we were on the same server, but we know how that ended. Now we have literally 10-15 people on at all at night.

P.S. I’m gonna start calling FC players Ferguson’s Cowards from here on out, sorry Moobs but no matter what toon I’m on 99% of your zerglings refuse to fight me without 3-4 people at their backs and none at my own, even the “roamers” if I can even call those cowards that. At least GoM had small ganksquads I could troll around with T.T look forward to thursday though.

0/10/10/20/30 D/D
Air Trait- 1 zephyr’s boon
Earth Trait- 5 Elemental Shielding
Water Trait-5 Cleansing Wave 7 Stop drop and roll
Arcane Trait- 6 Renewing Stamina 10 Arcane energy(switch in Blasting staff when you switch to staff) 11 Evasive Arcana

Get a superior sigil of energy and focus on getting some precision( I have ~25% crit-chance without fury). Focus on getting vigor, thus getting more dodges, thus getting more cleanses.

Use whatever heal your comfortable with but I run with the signet, probably switch out armor of earth for Arcane Shield, keep mist form and use either arcane wave/lightning Flash/cleansing fire or possibly the earth shield conjure for another invuln ability. My ele is asura so I’m gonna start using pain inverter most likely, confusion and retaliation on a 30sec cd? oh yes indeedy

P.S. Maybe consider signet of water for extra cleanses? O.0 might help if you need more cleansing then your getting from this build, I’m just focused on keeping 30 points in arcane since its such an invaluable traitline for anyone who wants to NOT be made of paper ;P

I tried it out actually. It’s not very strong, but it’s kind of fun. It had that old school s/d burst feel from beta XD (without the beta level damage of course)

Perma Stealth Thieves Are No Threat

in Thief

Posted by: Parktou.4263

Parktou.4263

@ Sunflowers First off, great name :P secondly, the high burst damage is the problem not the availability of the stealth mechanic.

IMO A Thief should be played either stealthily or evasively. I’ve never seen a need for any burst in games like this, it just removes the skill from the fight when you can destroy someone with your opening move, high DPS is perfectly fine but this “LOL I just one shot you nonsense needs to go”. No such thing as perma-stealth either fyi, especially when you get 4 seconds to immobilize/cc me and then unload before my next stealth ;P

Help with Condition Engineer

in Elementalist

Posted by: Parktou.4263

Parktou.4263

@vinceftw or you could kite away from the crate? lol. Learn to dodge better, which means roll one and learn their abilities so you know what they look like, what the rotations are and which abilities you actually NEED to dodge as opposed to dodging when you see something coming. Case in point, Engis that use the crowbar will use the pull first which has a semi-translucent line connecting from them to you, but if you can see it, you should dodge it immediately and kite and you will negate a lot of damage. I know it sounds weird for a melee to kite, but you have to do it from time to time in order to survive some of the more gimmicky classes. Also I have found most engis dont guard against conditions, so landing a good CE will go a long way in most cases. Still, easier said then done obviously

Updating Tornado needs to be a priority, the knockback needs to get more ticks to actually be effective, might need to come with protection as well as stability, or at least reflect projectiles maybe, lol.

None of those will help suicide on confusion.

confusion got nerfed, and its not like it would be perfect, but certainly better :/

@BS Mesmer

Was only so long until that 1v1 would get interrupted haha. Good fight none the less, looking forward to running into your small man group this week.

Also ran into a small BS(basic) group, it was good fun they had a Mes, Warrior, and Necro. Changed to a Thief, Warrior, Mes after we got them the first time.

I was the human necro with the char warrior, good fights Mes you are the first Mesmer I have seen worth anything in WvW ever. (but dont terrain exploit you’re better then that).

ET has some solid players, got my best 1 v 1s against ET people. FG people seem to just zerg and are really really really really bad in small scale actually won 1 v 2 and 1 v 3s against them multiple times with a poorly geared necro, makes me want to invest in gear and play WvW instead of just Tpvp, see if I can 1 v4 or 1 v 5 some FG folks.

Cheers

LOL and the really really really really bad players are from FC not FG hahahahaha Moobs is gonna be mad

Thief; Why Ranger class Alwys your 1st kill?

in Thief

Posted by: Parktou.4263

Parktou.4263

To the Thief class, why is The Ranger class always your 1st/Primary kill in WvW?
I also would like to ask other classs the same question as well.

Because rangers are free walking loot bags to any thief with dagger OH, here’s a big hint, your pet isn’t helping you its hurting you and making my life easier, so put a leash on the kittenhing and you might survive, but probably not

Cantrip nerf on non-dagger eles

in Elementalist

Posted by: Parktou.4263

Parktou.4263

What I’m curious about is this: we know that D/D are among the more powerful specs. Hence nerfs are a more logical step than buffs.

But what about the collateral damage to non-dagger eles? It’s obvious that they were less powerful than D/D, to the point that people struggled to hold their own. Now boon hate builds are introduced. Dagger users can adapt because they rely less on boons for their actual defenses. Staff users however, need the boons to stay alive. The need the cantrips because they have no frost or shocking auras. They have no ability, and much fewer snares.

Have you considered the fact that these changes may actually hurt the weaker ele builds more than the stronger ones?

Staff eles don’t “need” auras/boons in order to survive and if you dont realize that staff eles can get frost aura extremely easily then you shouldn’t be trying to give advice or question others. Staff eles also have just as many “snares” as D/D if not more, lol U Trollin Bro? They should leave the bunker builds as they are and just try to rework and buff the other weaponsets/traitlines. I would love to actually be able to use a signet ele with 30 in earth, but right now its nowhere near viable

P.S. GIVE ME DUAL-TORCHES!!!!!!!!!! like a boss :P

Any tier with SF in it will be zergy, period. They just outright have the numbers, as for us in T8 it can get pretty zergy at primetime, but other than that its mostly roamers and 1-2 zergs per server, across all borderlands. That’s been my experience with T8 anyways.
