You wrote a big chunk of text about your stats that I didn’t really read, because your damage is still going to suck if you are in soldier gear. Any DPS you are managing to scrape out from your gear spread is from the zerker gear, not the soldier’s. You could drop the soldier pieces for clerics or any other similarly defense-only prefix and not notice much difference in the speed anything dies.
Again, if you want to tank, go conditions. That is why they exist, they’re the low-investment, moderate reward option for damage, versus direct damage which is high-investment, maximum reward.
Right, so being tanky yet hitting between 4k-9k crits with pvt armor + knights / zerk trinkets without even trying is weak. Got it.
Again, the dps you get is mostly coming from your trinkets. For one trinkets give MORE stats than armor does so you are more zerker than ptv if you run that mix. You are not running soldier’s at that point.
Ahh Pyro I’m glad we finally fought. We haven’t fought a guild group of you as a guild group of us in months, almost back in old T3. Somehow we never end up on the same map, or maybe its cause you’re usually in EB?
Overall very very fun night against a lot of different guild groups.
Any guilds that can field 20 and want a GvG, send us a challenge. Hope to hear from DDLG, Abys, BEAST, TE, VR, Pyro, Ark, and DR. Don’t be shy.
1. game.slayer – uses them on his elementalist (!!) and brags in the forum how he would kill anyone 1v1.
2. kuora – said i was a 2222 thief who needs l2p when i stated the opinion warrior stuns are over the top atm in the warrior forum. (i main warrior with 1.5k hours)
just so you know who those scrubs are if you want to “discuss” with them. it has zero to do with l2p, the runes are broken. people saying otherwise either dont have a clue about the game (game.slayer) or are just plain trolling out of habit (kuora). probably both.
Thats because dire gear is the only thing overpowered here. that cat is ridiculous. i have two rupt skills on a 40s+ cd each. putting an ICD on perp runes, say, 30s, would barely even nerf my build what so ever. when i encounter a stun/condi war with perp runes, you know what i do? its calledcounter-play.
“WUT IS COWNTER PWAY?” you ask?
Blind
Remove condi
invuln skills
kite
block
evade
now if youre so bad that you cant do that, and instead want to come to forums to rage about how you cant counter-play somone, be my guest. youre just making yourself look silly.
Dire gear is the only real problem here. condi + ability to flat out tank is stupid. but these runes are fine.
The only condi removal that counters perplexity runes is passive, otherwise you just proc the confusion stacks and if your removal requires a channel they might even get to interrupt that too.
RET I give props to you guys, you kicked my guilds kitten over and over 8+ times. But i’d love to fight you guys when you run about 20 instead of that blob. I think you guys are good enough to run smallers numbers, why not try?
It’s PTSD from weeks of fighting against T1 opponents. Hard to run 20 or less against those blobs.
Wait… why would bandwagoners to a low tier server have that?… You been queue vs 15’in in t5+ for weeks, shouldn’t you feel perfectly safe running 25?…
The thing is players like progression and players want progression. Leveling is a form of progression. A lot of times what players say they want is not what they actually want.
As has been said many times in this thread, removing levels doesn’t mean removing progression; the progression comes from other places.
But then you just have a different type of level. Instead of gaining exp per action you might unlock stat/skill points per challenge but that would direct playstyle in a certain direction and get too much “QQ I wanna just do open world kill lvl 2 rabbit 3 million times and hit cap”. It all boils down to the same thing under a different name tho anyway.
Please, we all know the appropriate time for corpse jumping is after mercing a troll build thief, after keeping him downed until he gives up on pressing 4.
That, and kalkz, after epi’ing 25 bleeds from him to his rallybaits.

But in WvW soldier’s, shouts and hammers go together like a great meal. If you’re not talking about WvW then ignore me all together, I have misread your comments.
Conditions might maximize the mileage you’re getting out of your offensive stats, but how much of your play as a melee meatwall will benefit from this? Your hammer doesn’t apply conditions, and while your sword does apply them, the only common reason you’d have it out is to leap or toot the warhorn. The current warrior meta build is a workhorse for boons, conditions, healing, mobility and stuns, but the one thing it doesn’t have is consistent condition uptime. PVT gear plays to the strengths of our most valued role, which is not determined by stats but by what we can bring to the table, which is a seriously beefy offensive support toolkit. The damage we deal is direct, often indiscriminate and secondary to our other functions, perfect for a nice big power score.
Lol spoj, they scale with the level of the world boss. Do temples, shaman, golem, hop in at the end of shatterer/jormag, etc. There are servers you can guest to that do daily runs of every temple at reset.
Oy, there’s nothing wrong with 18k killshotting a stealth spamming thief in wvw.
That’s exploiting
It’s called out trolling, the number of times I’ve had some troll build thief use me to shadow step away from everybody else they’re trolling AS killshot goes off in their face…
Altho I’m never in a rifle build when I do it… I just swap one in because I know volley and kill shot don’t give a kitten about stealth and if I swap in zerker gear at the same time I can rifle butt glass for like 7k.
just think, as bad as most pugs are, you would have been one of those few guys who left people thinking “hmmm, that was a smooth run” (i wonder why, probably my cleric heal ranger lol)
sorry man. pugs are getting too bad to tolerate and I just
have you checked out wildstar yet?
probably won’t unless it gets great reviews, I don’t like subscription games. I’ve been getting back into D3 since the big updates are coming early next year.
You tell me when you want something, ol’ swiftpaw will sort out a dungeon for ya.
Shield bashing at point blank doesn’t even shorten the animation, it just makes more of it stationary b4 the server decides it connected. I don’t get how you can’t notice somebody’s character going diagonal, moving a shield in front of their face, sliding towards you, and making that noise.
Zerging:
Warriors are the strongest class, followed by guardians. Mesmers, eles, and necros are really important. The other classes aren’t too important. Should engis get aoe stability as rumored, they will immediately jump to crazy OP.
Roaming:
Thieves, mesmers, warriors, and eles are the best.
kind of disturbing how wars and eles made on both lists…<_<
Sounds more like he’s trying to build a hammer train, not exactly meta. Mesmers also made both lists, and really a guardian is not something anybody enjoys 1v1’ing.
I find it funny how long folk said Mesmer or Thief were the “OP” class for WvW. Meanwhile, Guard’s utility/defense/healing has always been extremely BA. And Warrior … what do Warriors lack, pray tell? AoE/Cleave abilities – check. Interruption/hard CC – check. Speed /Maneuverability – check. Luscious Health – check. Good condi-clear/health regain – check. Still tagging and bagging in a Zerg – check.
I know, I hate those… greatsword/hammer/mace/shield/sword/warhorn/longbow warriors too.
Why you post this in warrior forum? Anyway, going around the corner at A or C, step onto the part of the floor that breaks, pull (magnet/wire/spectral grasp), roll backwards.
You are mistaken by talking with me as I’m a victim of warrior OP stuns. I’m speaking objectively, not subjectively like yourself.
I’ll ask you this, you are saying why should someone be able to face roll by spamming 12345. Apply that to yourself if you play a warrior, why should they be allowed to face roll by spamming stun completely disabling the player. I’d say players like yourself are more interested in player vs target than player vs player.
Please stop. You saying warrior stuns are OP because your stun breakers can’t keep up with them and therefore need a nerf makes about as much sense as me saying conditions are OP and need to be nerfed because my soldier’s rune shouts can’t cure conditions fast enough or that conditions pile up too fast when berserker’s stance is on CD.
You can attack while you have conditions, im confused on the logic used here.
Actually the build you’re complaining about can’t attack when it has specific conditions, mace and hammer attack incredibly slow, for example X/P thief can blind them mid animation just from the shot alone without the warrior being IN the field as it automatically combos off itself. Those builds also rely on Ire to cleanse which is useless when somebody blinds you and they attack so slowly and without pulsing fields that they remove blind very poorly even in ideal cases.
So you LIKE and find it AMAZING to run around in a massive blob of skill lag that can’t do anything but rely on passives and your auto chain going off because the server will do that for you?
No, everyone in t1 also hates this. But honestly, it doesn’t happen that often. And when it does, its our own kitten fault.
The only time it does reliably happen is in three-way fights, almost always inside of Hills, Garry or Bay. If the fight only involves two servers, or if its out in the open without npcs, buildings, and siege, there’s very rarely much lag, even if both servers bring their full map queue.
I call shenanigans. Every time this week on SoS we can tell your Zerg is approaching when everyone starts getting skill lag. That’s just from JQ’s Zerg going against SoS’s relatively modest NA groups. I imagine in your 3 way T1 battles the entire map locks up 75% of the time.
I’ve seen 3ways in T3 that caused skill lag at the SW/SE spawns… from garrison.
The only thing truly wrong with the path (besides being too long time-wise for the reward) is the tetris puzzle thing with the electrified floor. The hologram you have to lure to the door almost always aggros on the wrong person and it takes way longer than it should to finish simply due to bad AI.
Solution for Anet: stop making encounters that rely on the NPC ai to work, or enemy mob ai to work. since your ai sucks, it makes any ai reliant encounter inherently frustrating.
Well there kinda is a solution to that, send 2 people to stand on the spot near the spawn, have the one it aggros go…

Sorry but unless there’s more hardware devoted to T1 fights I’m gonna have to call BS on that. 50v50 is already bad lag.
At the point it finally releases on, it will be completely unreasonable for them to expect Tailors to use twice as much Demask in their recipes as the other 2 disciplines… atleast not without a good head-start like we already have with Deld & Elon
Seems to be quite a lot of love for the US servers. Might have to have a look and see what they are like. Though the distance and latency are a bit of a worry
Pretty sure it’s not that much of a latency difference as the hardware for both sit in the US.
This is what I don’t understand about the T1 servers recent recruitment drives for more people. You’ll spend 4-6 out of the 7 weeks in the league being bored kittenless. People really transfer for some poxy finisher??? Amazing!
Not really true. T1 and T2 can be fun. Its just that fighting a t3 server like SoS is utterly boring.
Also Mag stands to gain from potential recruitment drives if they get into the gold league.
Very true, most people in the lower tiers play for ppt, in the higher tiers we also play for ppt, but we also play mainly for the fights, the fights in T1 are just outstanding and running with an organized guild of 40-50+ in a BL is amazing, you can’t get that anywhere else accept in T1.
Like this week we have FA and SoS, we take it as a week to level alts and farm champs in EBG, like a vacation in WvW, boring for most, fun for some.

This is a stupid game the Market & Crafting devs are playing together here.
When 500 in armor CRAFTING becomes available, Armorsmith and Leatherworker especially will have a huge lead on Tailors and thus have much cheaper Mats, yet will still be competing for the same Gossamar insignias. Wool and Cotton especially will soar to 2-3 silver per scrap if not more while most Leathers continue to flatline and suffer from the same deflation most of them have beekittennce early spring.
The least they could do here is open up Demask crafting a month ahead of their ascended armor to atleast prevent some of the Price-Shock that’s going to hit all Tailors under their current schedule.
It’s not actually that huge a lead, everybody needs cloth for the insignias. For exotics the numbers for a full set are something like
Light – 43 bolts, 6 squares
Medium – 36 bolts, 18 squares
Heavy – 37 bolts, 16 ingots
But there’s no way the actual ascendeds will maintain these ratios. If they kept those ratios then each type of armor would be differently time gated.
Afaik, Empower Allies is a Mastertrait after the next patch. And I dont like FGS for the might. WW does up to 25k in one second. 8 or 10 sec cd make a difference.
8 or 10 sec cd doesn’t make a difference, you’re only able to use it every 10 seconds due to 5 second swap cooldowns.
Here you go again assuming people do proper rotations and don’t just camp greatsword.
I think my favourite part of the game is that you can reflect those electricity things coming down the stairs at you in uncategorized and everybody ahead of you now has them coming up at them.
