Guild Wars 2

“The main reason? i use this build is simply because i like it. I personnaly think it’s better due to the 10% dmg when bleeding trait and gs cd. Also I was much faster with this build than with 30/0/0/10/30 but that could be caused by lack of practice with it.”

The 30/0/0/10/30 build assumes a party that can might stack, in such a setup the gsword might stacks are actually a bad thing to have because they’re low duration and they will overwrite higher duration stacks. You don’t have anybody with you to provide reliable blast finished 20s might lol.

If you did swap for dolyak signet you could pop it and might for stability + unblockable btw.

Warriors so OP they solo legendaries

pls stop sending 30 ppl to chase my lone warrior across a map.

roaming is v boring.

So just turn and use 100 blades, that’s like 3 per guy!

Power does always have DR. If you add 100 power to 916 Power (base), thats about 11% damage increase. If you add 100 power to 3000 power, it’s just a 3% increase.

That’s not diminishing returns. 100 power is 100 power regardless of how much you previously have. Diminishing returns would be to reduce all bonus power by, say, 50% beyond the 3000 mark, so that at 2900 power 100 more would bring you to 3000, and 100 more than that would only bring you to 3050. What it is is a decrease in relative value – but diminishing returns it is not.

It’s diminishing marginal returns. When getting an extra X power means 3% more and in toughness it would be 8% more, there’s a diminishing return on your stat investment.

Wrong.

If you get diminishing returns with power, that would mean there would be a greater DPS benefit to adding 100 power to a low power warrior than to a high power warrior. THAT IS NOT THE CASE. As I stated in my example, adding 100 power in either case would add an additional 28 damage per swing. The increase in output is not decreased because you gave the extra 28 damage to one over another. It nets you the same flat party dps increase whether you make the warrior that already hits hard hit harder, or a warrior who hits like a wet noodle hit like a less wet noodle. They both hit harder for the same amount.

Here’s the wiki for DR.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diminishing_returns

Damage is not constrained by physical limitation like the amount of land you have for your crops or the space in your building for your workers.

Despite quoting me twice you clearly just refused to read what i said…

That would be so OP…

Olba.5376:

Oh and using tons of ACs is also considered a lame tactic. Wanna limit the amount of ACs? What about using ACs outside of towers/keeps/SM?

You mean like… the siege cap?…

The only way that would really fit the mechanic of a sigil is if you’re turning people you hit into norns and giving them +10% might duration

Night Shift [NS] crew was a little disappointed that [PYRO] and [DERP] couldn’t GvG us tonight. We were also looking forward to it since it’s the last day of the week where we can set up GvGs! However, the next time we come across Maguuma again, we hope you guys would be ready by then. (:

I saw 8 and got all excited thinking it was going to be 8 est, then someone said it was 8 server time and everyone said kitten it. Maybe a little earlier next time.

DB in Mag bl attacking SE tower gate when the wall was trebbed open /facepalm, wow,,, just wow.

That’s why you can still find Broadicea’s posts from october about running max MF staff guardian!

Wear max MF gear. You will magically find a can of bug spray to counter the locusts.

1. People would report you.
2. Anet doesn’t post on everything they read…

maybe if you came out of bay to fight? and I’m pretty sure the group we’ve been wiping up against the gate over and over again is all Mag unless thats DB’s bay for some reason. Pls try harder next time though!! Also nice job on leaving the map after a wipe or two real commitment right there

Also nice try on saying we outnumber you! We flashed outnumbered so I doubt we had numbers though!! Pls continue to feed us bags @ bay though get off dem walls brah!

We’re still ON the map… you got outnumbered after tsl left and when you went to nwc, you then waypointed away.

Here’s what you were wiping, grats.

Thanks for showing a screen of the 20 of us pushing you guys into your bay! I’d like to see a Screen of how many were on the wall and all that blacked out stuff though? Seriously though if you can’t take 1 clean wipe without instantly bunkering and leaving the map to farm pavillion or some thing don’t talk kitten on the forums!!

btw thats about the same size as TSL was so 20+20+10 or so pugs vs the 30 VR you said you had and the 25 or so NOVA then the pugs. Tell me more about how we outnumbered you plox?

No, I said VR didn’t even have 30 online, that’s including nonrepping and people not in WvW. What’s cut out of that is clearly my chat and skill bar… and again, we’re still on the map, you can ask DB’s golems to verify. You left, we wiped the other server at our other keep. Sorry, it’s not always about you even tho you’re t1.5 and the rest of us are only t2 and t3.

umm NOVA+VR+pugs vs TSL+Yumm? BTW thanks for all the bags @ wurm gate!! keep pushing pls enjoying the many many many many many many many bags!! Even under your bay AC’s! btw 1 AC hitting LR+1 @ breach @ 1 on bridge w/ a ballista don’t BS against me!

You’re gonna QQ about some AC’s right at your walls when you had how many inside that we wiped? Sorry bout your badges and don’t add the DB group you came in behind to your mag kills tally…

Even with nova you had numbers on us, you also had plenty of pugs (why so many upscales?).

o.O VR doesn’t even have 30 online, but close, and there were 0 ac’s. You were rez rushing at briar, I know because I was the one trebbing cows for lulz and got more than a queue of bags while watching your guilds run back into the fight.

Thanks for the bags TC

Wait are you actually complaining about that tiny white square as displayed in Player Character’s picture? I’ve always wondered what you were going on about and assumed your browser just had the ups.

Cestus.8425:

As for traited banners, while decent, is no where near the efficiency of running “Empower Allies” having a 150 power boost (8% according to Nike) for your whole team. However if another Warrior is already running “Empower Allies” then I would take Traited Banners.

With the amount of running in dungeons, i wouldn’t take traited banners if you can figure out when to summon it.

Zenith.7301:

Neko.9021:

It would be inherently unfair for Condition Builds to be as effective as Direct Damage builds.

The reason is that Condition Damage, by its nature, only requires one or two stats to be effective: Condition Damage to raise your damaging condition’s effectiveness, and Precision to proc on-crit Conditions that many classes seem to have.

By contrast, a Direct Damage build is only effective if it dedicates all three stats to damage: Power, Precision, Critical Damage.

Understand that in the PvP world, this is actually a huge problem. Condition Damage is the meta because those with Condition Damage are able to still deal effective damage while retaining one or two survivability stats.

Berserker characters sacrifice everything to deal damage while condition characters can give up only 1 or 2 stats to still deal damage.

The meta for dungeons and stats is completely fair and people need to stop kittening about it. People that want to play Condition builds all just want to get around the no-survivability stats of a Berserker build while doing Berserker level damage. That’s pretty dumb, in my opinion. Condition Damage’s inherent upside is that it lets you build a character that is notably sturdier than a Berserker build. To me, you should have to pay a price for such survivability, and doing much less damage seems like a fair tradeoff.

No, berserker builds don’t give up anything because aegis and prot and blinds and reflection walls exist, nullifying the damage you would take extra for not having defensive stats in case you were too dumb to dodge or unable to.

What people like you don’t seem to understand is that a surplus of survival is never good. You only need to bring enough survival/utility to not die and kill the boss before it kills you. You want to keep survival stat stacking to a minimum, since it has diminishing returns while offensive stats are never too much.

He said PvP…

Too bad guang just makes claims and never presents any form of numbers or tests or consideration for what sticking an engi next to 3 warriors with their arms 5 trait does to the engi’s bleeds (pre-trait change) which, by his own assertions, are important to engi dps.

engis can also stack the crap out of vuln, but that’s lost in pug parties where vuln either shows up by itself or is ignored entirely cuz it’s not “MOAR DEEPS”

Using AdBlock. guildwars2.com is not exempt. Also using flashblock. Embedding works fine, made the post really confusing.

He probably has something in overkill mode blocking EVERYTHING.

All I see on the mag side is solo paralala popping his elite. Some1 else needs to figure out how to upgrade his to not summon up levels :P

I don’t get ads, i do get the videos. Whatupwitdat?

Edit: guildwars2.com doesn’t run banner ads or popups, try putting them on some unblocked list?

Brazil’s just picking on your wording saying ele can replace all warriors because you didn’t run with spotter/frost spirit.

No1’s going to argue for warrior stacking in an actually meta group, but it does work very well for the pugs that can’t manage to wrap their heads around more complicated tactics. Just getting one of the other 4 guys to carry the 2nd banner would be enough of a chore.

Bursting tooltip is bugged, correct should be +6% Critical Damage.

Which means it’s just a really really bad version of force.

stop running off to farm destroyers in your 100% burn uptime build. It’s pve, you chose you run out there in that build.

Warrior bursts are neat in that the range is absolutely incredible. A 14k crit can be a high hit for a glass warrior, but if one really wants to pull out the numbers 20k+ is possible.

Sure, on a pure glass upscale.

10 yumm ran away from 1 vr

2.1k armor is full glass, 2.3k is basically still glass.

Isn’t that supposed to be 1 A and a bunch of w’s?

And BAM! They don’t get updated to ascended stats and you canæt change the stats of the legendary whenever you want to

you can’t make 360degree projectile block? what?

Ah thanks i saw those in some vids and wondered what those were called. But the thing is i am neither of those classes and when i ask guards to bring shields they probably don’t have one because it seems like this ‘reflect’ mechanic is totally useless outside a few situations.

I have NOTHING against hard content and nice challenges that guilds can have some fun trying to solve. But this is a dungeon, and part of the Dungeon Master achievement imo it should be up to par with other dungeons so that people who just want some completion can get it.
I hope that some people can understand my logic on this one. I personally understand this dungeon and think it would be easy if everyone knew what to do. But that’s the problem, no one knows what to do.

But yeah i guess I will have to wait until i can get some uber leet group set up full of speed runners and over-the-top-try hards that when things go wrong they find the nearest person to blame.

Those are both guardian skills, you had a guardian. He used wall of reflect so you still got hit by a few shots because it’s a LINE not a DOME. The issue isn’t the content, it’s that guy in your party having no understanding of how his class can block. I’m betting others in your party could also contribute to a block cycle, they just don’t know their class that well or don’t swap utilities mid dungeon ever.

Seriously guys, transmutation…

This thread isn’t even true, just the 10 bleeds from the grapeshots will overpower those.

Boom goes the dynamite!! /dance 2 grapeshots dead unless you /heal rofl.

Using your heal would remove healing signet’s passive, activating the signet lowers your heal/second making you survive less in the case of being dot’ed…

6s would be obscenely over stat budget.

If you want to be a valuable member of the team, you need to time you abilities rather than simply button mash. If you are not using your stuns to interrupt or prevent casting at key points, the problem isn’t with your CC of choice.

Stuns are not meant to be substantially different than knockback/down, fears or dazes

And fears can last 5 seconds so mace f1 needs to be boosted to 5 seconds. amiright?

Kinda silly if you have to bypass the whole boss by reflecting and dpsing the boss down before it moves.
