Oblivion.8307:

one thing i really would advocate is showing people their ratings instead of just the leaderboard #.

nice. Maybe rank should be exclusive to hot join, you still keep your rank when u solo q. But you are matched according to mmr and this is shown in the solo q or team q game.

yeah condis are stupid as hell right now… you can stack too many in a small time space and they last a long time if not cleansed… The only classes that can even cleanse them fast enough are the ones who use condis… i dont even…

honestly thinking about just maining my engi or necro and sheling my other classes.

lulz 1200 range on portal.. after what theyve done to thiefs.. wouldnt be surprised

God kitten acandis i support your threads, good ideas

Hi

I just started this game and I am playing a warrior. Whenever I see people in the mists pvp they spam me when i beat them saying im playing an easy class.

Why do they act this way? Is something wrong with the warrior?

Beginner players

d/d or p/d – condi spec
p/p – unload spams

INtermediate

d/p perma stealth in wvw and( d/d + d/p glass cannon in spvp)

Good thiefs
D/D (wvw) or D/P trickery (pvp) + s/d or s/p

Personally when I play I try to do sneaky caps that the enemy just got or generally roam supporting my team. Dont do to well in outnumbered or 1v1 fights with the ammount of condis spewing around.

What do you guys think a thiefs role in Spvp is?

In what sense is sitting back and spamming ur hot keys to get as many conditions on your opponent balance. A build that can bunker and do decent dps, yes that fair and a well balanced build.

A build that sits back and stacks poison, torment, chill and bleeds up ur anus and then fears you into oblivion or dodge rolls and runs around with permenant swiftness before doing it all over again. bit over the top.

this is the worst map invented lol. As if the shooting people off ledge wasnt bad enough they stuck a big as cannon that causes knock down and 10k damage in the center. lmfao

ability to see which class is most played on all leaderboard players.

nice idea. Sometimes im forced to use a skill when I dont want too so I can mug.

if they stun u then you can do one of three things.

shadow step away. And reset

steal on the warrior and dodge roll as this breaks the stun.

Use infiltrators signet on the warrior and then dodge roll, u have to be fast.

I saw one if the best spvp thiefs playing warrior the other day was surprised.
But thiefs get hit one way or another each latch, I’m out if this game until they actually do fair balances. Enjoy the condi spam meta

Yeah , finally uninstalled gw2 bout 10 min ago. Tired of these no skill builds , run around and gain life, run around as an engi and make condos into boons have perm swiftness vigor and mass aoe.

I could handle ghese minion necrosis but now so many Engis with aoe spams adding to the warrior and necro bullkitten class list. Good riddance to gw 2 , I may play again when there is actual balance

You think this is a bad ranged weapon, why dont u check out thiefs pistol auto attack. roflcopter

engineer needs some mobility weakness atm. ALl engis do right now is run away dodge roll nade spam in an aoe so they barely miss you, they continue kiting and nade spamming until u die as the healing turret burst is so strong they can survive 1v1 like this for a long kitten time.

This change is a good one, more skill to do well with this class.

kitten this is so true man. Once the minion wasnt even infront of me, it was behind me and i backstabbed it instead of the necro rofl

docmed is a warrior that streams for the RIOT clan. he is usually on at night and is one of the most viewed streams when hes on… he duels in wvw

Seveleniumus.5973:

Kill shot is one of the most useless skills ever, I usually do as much if not more damage with triple shot and I don’t need to cast it for 10 hours.

take your lies somewhere else

silentnight warrior.2714:

Peow peow.2189:

They are OP, too much tankiness and dmg in one build. They should be weaker defense wise to deal so much dmg with their hammer.

ANet will address that in the 10dec patch. Dont die till then…

Its hard not to die when stunned for 5 minutes, so i alt tab and post on forums.

Today in PVP two warriors were picking on me being a light class ele, one would line up kill shot and the other I was fighting would use eviscurate. The damage from kill shot was about 6000 – 7000 and the eviscurate was usually 7000 – 9000 and I would instantly be dead.

Is this class even meant to put out as much damage as this? Even thiefs only backstab me for 5 – 6k in pvp…

Why you dont kill one of them with the new ele OP build?

aware me on this OP build ?

silentnight warrior.2714:

Warrior needs ways to stand when focused and healing signet can give some sustain against conditions but its weak against bursts. Its a choice you made. You dont have sustain against burst if you take HS. You dont have sustain against attrition if you take surge.
If you dont see many warriors with surge its because the meta is a condition one. When players decide to change the meta you will see the surge warriors. and then you will see the whine against surge. And the qq will go on…

All other classes sustain gives them health on attack. Make healing signet 360 regen per attack, not regen out of ur anus while u run around picking t1 materials.

He (peow peow) is trolling the warrior forum for days now.. Creating many topics for trolling and after some replies he just delete his first own post. He wants to see many nerf for warriors because he fails against warriors. Every post/topic he made is to misform anet/troll everyone.

Dont worry about Peow Peow. he cannot delete the warrior class by himself so dont worry.

One step at a time to achieve my goal of dominating the warriors

Neoheart.2750:

I feel pretty much useless in spvp these days, more so because other classes can do it better and faster in most cases…even roaming in hotjoin. Shortbow #5 on battle for kythlo would be the only exception imo.

play an engi on the side :P

swinsk.6410:

HtC in its current implementation is a useless trait. Even on a 0s ICD.

support tool tip implementation of this

They are OP, too much tankiness and dmg in one build. They should be weaker defense wise to deal so much dmg with their hammer.

guys im not deleting my posts, its some forum mod. I dont know why he keeps doing it, my post wasn’t even bad and my own opinion lmfao WOW

Haha sorry op but it won’t be good

Bazooka- place both pistols together and shoot your target instantly killing it and blowing it to smithereens.
Initiative cost. : 10

^ still not as op as healing signet .

A tip to a new thief player / expect to die ALOT

Hard to follow- the trait that confuses the thief more then the enemy.

I can’t swim. So I just stay above water.

On a more serious note: harpoon gun, spam 2

Best idea I’ve heard in my life will be bumping this thread daily

Hype.8032:

I have to give credit to caed for showing me it first but I like using shadow refuge while in sbow to get a immobilize on the enemy to chain more cluster bombs. Not about clearing condi’s but a good trick to know regardless.

i use refuge for the immob, then steal weapon swap and hammer them with d/p. Learned that from lux fortuna rank 9 thief :P but yeah caed wya is also cool

YOU SHOULD UNe – QUIP it

loool

geddit?

they are not OP, just very tank with alot of burning damage. If they stack enough of it on you , you will eventually die due to them outlasting you while dealing burn dmg.

its more or less on whether the dev team has the knowledge and capability to balance the game.

I agree that they need to change th spvp game mode to make it more exciting

however this style of MOBA play doesn’t fit and simply copying it would make people move over to HON, DOTA LOL the many options that are solely focused on this.

whenever I play spvp I usually roll with

10/30/0/30/0 or 10/30/0/0/30 or even sometimes 30/20/0/20/0

I sometimes do put in the 10 points to SA for the condi clear, however it kills me to waste those points when I could get more dmg. or movement ability…

whenever im facing engis and necros on the other team which is almost always, it takes about 5 seconds for these suckers to double team a full condi stack on me which i cant do much about.

AND I MEAN – I CANT WALK FAST, I CANT HEAL, I CANT REGEN ENDURANCE IM BLEEDING OUT MY ANUS im talking a full shotdown here folks.

should i sacrifice points for 10 SA or is there another option?

most liekly u died from the aoe to down you , or they had a stealth disruptor trap. Its a wvw trap that cancels stealth and reveals you.

more then likely backstab – mug – heartseeker. If hs crits it can do as much as a backstab.

Caed is one of the best thief players at using the burst spec, however his survivablity is very low and if u had managed to evade him you could of probably turned it around.

I started a thief from lvl 0 and I will admit that I died ALOT until i hit about lvl 20… not because the class is bad but because i didnt know that I could use blind, death blossom shortbow and other mechanics that make PVE a peace of cake.

Honestly i have rolled all classes and just keep going back to my thief because its so much more fun. Go for it if you like the class.

mine was fine, maybne look through the game settings and change the graphics option for that specific thing. Its called a combo field.

players are given the option to reset their rank, as some players dont want to reset their proof of 500+ games or high win to loss ratios

you mean the stat boosts? or. . . O_O

Relentliss.2170:

Funny enough the comparison to HON is very apt. It was very hard to get a good game. Often ended up with someone leaving and teams of people kittening solo queued players.

It would be very easy to make standard hotjoin 6v6 and implement one of the many good ideas for solo queue tournament players

not sure if you have actually played hon, but the system meant that if 5% of ur games were leaves you couldnt join a non leaver game or the matchmaking. The HoN community is alot worse then the gw2 community, but the ingame play is alot more competitive and exciting…

honestly if they made something as simple as a capture the flag and run it back to ur base game mode, first to 5 wins etc it would be more exciting to play and watch then the current spvp system.

I see, like an unranked queue… could be used for practice etc. I like this idea… however I dont think this games spvp community is big enough for that and…

the reason I think that is (being a relatively new player) is that spvp has too much of a learning curve, there needs to be a mode where noobs learn to just kill each other and win – > no fun to lose every game cuz u didnt cap the shiny circle.

SpehssMehreen.5897:

go play some cod dude, the game is not balanced against simple deathmatch

strong response, this attitude will definitely support a long lasting and thriving in-game community. congratulations.

No but seriously, I have played many online PvP games… Gw2 pvp is the most skill based and real time i have encountered and the only outlet is capping points mode or wvw roaming, more options would be great. .

SpehssMehreen.5897:

because if you played just now then you get what you get because its OC time and there are very very few players at this time.

yes i understand this however I queued this morning and this happened twice our of 3 games which i thought was bad luck or timing.

then i queue now basically 12 hours later and the balance is even more messed up.

72 – 501, i had to teach the warrior what the orb is and how to use it in spirit watch.

and rank matter more often then not, low ranks are usually new guys and high ranks have grasped the basics or are very good.
