So WvW already being imbalanced is a good reason for not needing to get 10% more stats when they are available how?
WvW isn’t imbalanced because of stats, nor will an increase in stats favour a specific server so …
Actually a higher weapon tier does favour raw damage over condition damage. Weapon strength increase also counts.
Not imbalanced because of stats and it won’t favor a server? You seen what bloodlust does to a GvG? Ok… now take that and apply it to an entire server. Stats matter regardless if you solo roam most of the time (like me) or do large zerg clashes. Upleveled players are far worse off even if they have their main utilities/traits… because of stats… It’ll get even more noticeable when ascended armor in as well.
Where in my post was bloodlust or gvg? plz stop talking to yourself.
They were examples of how stats do matter. Sorry if that was too complex for you to follow. Please learn how the addition of stats apply in one situation matters and apply the same logic in another situations.
It’s also not good for your case when you’re just dismissive. It just shows that you feel one way regardless of any other counter points.
Again, read my post. L2Read
Good fights, 6v1.
Condition removal is op. where is the power removal?
It’s called toughness
Why do people keep quoting PvP match manipulation? This isn’t PvP. It’s PvSiege
I try to leave the gvg crowd be, but honestly many come off as elitist. Secondly, tonight there was a huge gvg event in tc bl, where we were fighting to save our keep. We could not get help in the bl, and when we asked for help to save our keep we were told to leave the bl. This is way too early in the match to be throwing the match.
No it isn’t, ur matched to BG and SoR. The match was thrown when it was made, don’t lie to yourself. Your highest tick not including the first couple hours was what? a 240?

So uhhh yeah……
Me and Bunzy we’re right bout you
you sure we’re
we’re you right or…?
your right
There are low population servers? I rarely see them as low as medium, and high seems to be the average.
That is because the capacity for each server is different. You might see medium+ across the board but the number of accounts on each server is vastly different.
For those of you that don’t know, the population shown is based on the number CURRENTLY logged in. This is also what determines whether or not a server is capped to block transfers.

i can give 5stacks of confusion per rupt for 20 sec lol not op at all with this food.
I can use my warrior to flip those stacks of confusion every 6 seconds along with removeing movement debuffs into boons for me and 4 more friends of mine.
And oh look i got a guardian friend doing the same with shouts,for himself and 4 other buddies.
Not op at all.
Look mah! NO hands not even bothering to target!
Except he’s talking about perplexity runes and in the right setup he would just keep interrupting your horn blasts and you get to take thousands of damage per action you try to take.
You always need guilds with 400+ people in them, whether you realize it or not. They are the ones in the background working to keep the castles currently under our control. Make those guilds disappear and you will find that they did more work than you could ever imagine.
No, the blob of pve’ers that spam 1 in a wvw queue zerg don’t hold castles, they create a queue and block off that map from anybody who can actually fight or organize themselves allowing the other server to easily cap everything.
How could I?
-can’t keep the wall from coming up
-can’t defend the batteries
don’t even have to worry about your dps.

Why do people only ever point to banner for a rez skill? Do you people not know classes exist besides warriors?
It didn’t originally scale so it was +40 regardless of your level which meant at lvl 20 you could run around with like 90% + crit chance unbuffed. As for axe/horn vs sword/horn, his sentence clearly started with “For mobility use”. When leveling everything melts and being able to leap around means more to how fast you level up.
wtf is -99% hp? Is that like… downed and at 1% hp left? 99% below zero?
Anyone that dies on a tower/keep wall deserves to be in a league of their own
Meh, I’m playing an uplevel there. So poke all you want, I wasn’t exactly bringing my a-game.
You need your “a-game” to not die on walls? God help your server.
No more than you need a mass zerghoard with two omegas to take a keep with half your respective numbers… Oh wait, you didn’t take that keep. We kept it from you twice as I recall during my tenure online this morning. I logged after that, so no idea what went on after. I suspect you probably went back and figured even more golems, more numbers, or both would be sufficient for the task at hand. Seems a standard strategy amongst the T2 and above.
It’s pretty standard not to die on walls in T2 too. You may not be on our skill level, but you should try that.
Your dagger is most sharp, Guardian, and you twist it well. I like that.
I think what guardian is trying to say is “What are you accomplishing by autoing from the wall at 40 guys and is it worth exposing yourself to 40 people worth of aoes?”
you GvG’s Fail to Demonstrate your Desire to be Recognized?
You`re either a troll then or you have no idea what the gvg scene tried to do in the past and how we got treated.
I understand that maybe you`re a anet fanboy, but dont talk about things you have no idea of.-I have done GvG before with vast guilds and i choose to not continue-.
“Arena.net fanboy”, take a look at my post history and see for yourself.
I don’t Hate GvG but after that harsh Hateful treatment to an outsider who was trolling, make me ask myself, do GvG use Hate to defend its Purpose?
Do GvG use Hate to stand its ground?
Do GvG use Hate to be Recognized and Respected by Arena.net and non-GvG players?
Do they??

Why do you need any guilds with 400 people in them…
To fight Tequatl and hope that at least 80 people will show up that are actually trying.
You can guest for tequatl and if you have 1200 people in just 3 pve guilds then I’m sure you can get 80 pve’ers
1000g to whoever solos tequatl.
I think there are literally only 3 guilds on my server that have above 400 people, and I was in one of them.
Why do you need any guilds with 400 people in them…
Not gonna miss this when leagues get going. Have fun in gold guys. Rofl!
You ain’t seen nothing
Who are you again? I don’t recognize that guild as one I’ve seen much of during my usual hours of play. Take that as you will, it is what it is. You’re probably sleeping during my hours. It’s difficult to feel threatened by someone who I’ve never had much facetime with because they’re drooling on their pillows when I’m around.
Ark? Oh they’re recent transfers from vabbi.
He’s not on the wvw team yes, but he’s a lead in an uberly important part of the game’s development and even more implementation.
Is this information buried somewhere in the previous 20+ pages of this thread? There is only one dev response, and it makes no reference to this person’s actual position at Anet.
Were you not just stating that Anet should release this person’s name? You seem to be claiming that you already know who it was.
Well he has 12.8k cheevo points so he’s PROBABLY not a wvw player.
I’d have no issues with a private tool for individuals who like to theorycraft.
It’s when it becomes viewable by everyone that breeds the ‘you must hit x DPS or kicked’ mentality.
Forward me your screenshots or kicked.
In my experience, those vocal elitists who demand specific builds tend to be the same ones who are completely incompetent in dungeon runs, getting wiped every few seconds whilst other players with “weaker” builds have to carry them through whilst managing not to die in the process.
Elitists views are there to be ignored or laughed at. Don’t give them an additional tool to massage their egos with.
Yup, carry so well 1 boss takes as long as the entire dungeon should. So guuuuuuuuud
and with easy guild missions with the totally absurd exception of backs that forces you to
farm Fractal (!!)toss a few things in the mystic forge.http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Vial_of_Condensed_Mists_Essence
Guess where you get these?
From 2 hours of effort per backpiece. OHNO
as i already stated in another topic…GvGers are a waste of spots and only in the way on the battlefield, so absolutely yes give them an instance / open pvp area far away from real WvW players.
Hi zerglet.
And this is why people dislike the GvG playerbase.
He supports the GvG cause, and yet you still find the need to insult him with petty name calling because he’s not personally into GvG.
No, because he’s complaining about somebody making his queued zerg slightly smaller. MOAR AUTOS!
:O kittens?
If a simple apology is not enough, then what is “enough”. What would satiate you? One person lacks professionalism that the entire company does? How does that even make sense?
There is no apology, his mommy wrote a letter but the person who acted like this has said nothing.
Jesus Christ. Prior to watching this GvG video, I almost thought ( from what it sounded like ) that it might be a good deal to have as a form of competitive PvP officially. Wow, freaking Fort Aspenwood and Jade Quarry in GW1 would have been better candidate than this mess.
There is no way in Hell, that I’d ever want this introduced as such. Frankly, we need more Devs like this with the same opinion.
GW1 GvG: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFWvdyCk1Uo
Notice how it’s…balanced? No kittenty food buffs? No spamfests? People aren’t cluster kittened into a ball?
Yeah, no thanks on this form of GvG for 2.
The guilds in this particular gvg aren’t what I would look at for a good example of a real gvg…
Moving a large force to a new map, only to have 30 of them locked out
LOL you’re right, your karma train is a way more valid form of pvp
Are you actually going argue the validity of a group of people actually doing something wvw-related and helpful to the server, compared to a group of 15-25 doing absolutely nothing of use to anyone? Sure, a wxp train might have other motivation, but it’s certainly a lot more valid to wvw than anything happening behind the windmill. Staging a gvg inside wvw is about as “invalid” as you can possibly be. And that is my point.
What does something being a “valid form of pvp” have to do with this? What is a “valid” form? 30-50 players going out of their way to avoid the gametype they are in, just so they can pointlessly kill each other for an hour is more “valid” somehow?
If you want “valid” pvp, go do spvp. WvW consists of a lot more than killing other players. And open field doesn’t exactly count as “valid” in wvw when it’s a planned mock fight between 2 groups that aren’t even attempting to do anything relevant to wvw.
So… you’re still defending running a group of players large enough that all you can do is auto 1 and run into each other?
Some of those “doing the math” folks have done the math and Scholar runes are the best DPS wise as long as your health is above 90% for at least 25% (I think that’s the percentage, but could be wrong) of the fight. If not, then Ruby Orbs are better.
Exactly.
Anyway I’m sorry to link again over and over, but most optimized build is still the same…

If you are looking for serious debates and maths, you should go for GW2Guru, I discovered it being way more serious than official forums…
Wow things musta changed, I remember Guru being all ‘Sonic boom or nothing!’

Those against GvG wouldn’t like it because the GvG’ers would do considerably less “normal” wvw (bashing head against a door)
why put sigets recharge faster and have 1 siget
why have 2 baners ?Maximize his dps?
exactly this, but what I want to know, is that how much stronger (assuming they are stronger) would Runes of the Scholar be? I’m not exactly the “doing the math” type, currently using Runes of Strength which work well with the build but I find that most the time people are using Runes of the Scholar. Just want to know the math behind that
Well if you find that you spend most of your tine >10% HP then it would be roughly a 10% dmg increase lol
I don’t like it because its not very flexible
>90%, not 10%
Kiting? but that means the bsos is moving…
and with easy guild missions with the totally absurd exception of backs that forces you to

Think this is meant to be in spvp? o.O wvw would never be an esport.
It’s saturday, already all but 2 of the 8 NA matches are decided and we’re under 24 hours in. 15-20 people on a map you aren’t queuing anyway aren’t blocking anybody from doing anything for the 30 minutes they’re doing that before they go back to saving your blind pubby kitten from the AC’s you just walked right into.
My first character to level 80 was a norn ranger. When I first leveled him up, I did weaponsmithing. Now he has 500 weaponsmithing and I main a different character (a norn warrior). Although I don’t want to do it in the immediate future, I think someday I’ll want to re-roll him as a different race. I don’t mind needing to level up to 80 again all that much, but I do not want to have to pay 150 gold to get my weaponsmithing back up, especially since my main is relying on it.
Well the obvious alternative would be to buy another character slot. Significantly less expensive than leveling craft to 500 again.
I haven’t been paying very close attention to things, does having three leagues instead of two mean Maguuma is going to be near the top instead of the bottom?
If we stayed where we are, we would be 2nd of the middle league. A lot of us think we’re too big for that, so we’re pushing to get ranked 6th so we can be bottom of the top league.
Rather be outmanned than to outman.
You have my daggers.
You have my 5 staves, 2 axes, 2 daggers, warhorn, and scepter. XD
You have my 4 greatswords, 2 axes, 2 maces, 2 swords, shield, 3 longbows, 2 rifles, hammer, and warhorn!
and then there’s my 2nd warrior…
Conditions are weak. You just need enough warriors, guardians and eles. l2p issue.
Hammer train meta is old, please l2p.
For example, in many retail stores, if an employee sees someone shop-lifting, they are forbidden to do anything about it, ’cause employees have tried in the past, and the customer has sued the store as a result (and won).
No, because employees in the past have tried to stop people and been stabbed or shot as a result. And then the employees can sue the store and easily win so they made it policy that you are NOT supposed to do that.
If you’re going to get that picky, then you can say that the whole of WvW is kill-trading.
“Our server will fight and kill your server for control of keeps/towers”
OMG kill trading!
No, since that is just happening.
If you on the other hand decided to trade a keep/tower back and forwards, there would indeed be an issue.
No, if gvg’ing is kill trading then fighting over anything is kill trading. We don’t line up and trade kills in gvg. You would be earning them just as you earn them when fighting over ppkitten.
It’s an organized fight. Nothing has been SOLD and therefore it’s not kill SELLING.
That is of course a matter of opinion. It can technically be considered selling.
But I suppose trading would be a better word, which would also be against the ToS.
TIL we may only PvD, no defending, no killing, and no dying to npcs.
Why don’t GvG pay for a custom arena and conduct there GvG there?
Your completely equal there and no one can interfere with you?
The cost is insignificant to multiple guilds, so that can’t be a problem.
Because you can’t?
SAB dev posts and talks to community, gets punished by anet. This guy interferes with players trying to pvp in pvp, bet he got a raise from carver and they plan to name another location after him like carver’s ascent.
Used the name in the picture, based on the account name it’s some1 named Evan.

100 power/condi dmg and 250 vitality is not more than 150 to all stats. 250 vitality is not going to negate the dps of 2 more people. 100 power is only going to be like 3% more to a thief’s backstab. Why are you running a bloodlust sigil with condi food and condi runes? None of this makes sense.
