Yeah when they boost true shot i would like to see the following “unnerfed” too
1) Pistol Whip back at one-shotting people like at launch
2) Reinstate Ricochet trait
Ty in advance :P
Just drop the class and roll Rev as everyone. Didn’t touch DH since the patch and can’t be more happy. Guardian was already dead in PvP so isn’t like the nerf did change something.
Yes do this, i would have even more revenants to farm. Few nights ago i killed 2 revs alone, fun times. I couldn’t be happier.
It’s funny because the baddies that played DH before the patch sometimes managed to kill me when i wasn’t paying attention (one true shot crit is enough to down a thief). Now that they switched to revenants I couldn’t be happier

Okay, let it be instant, but it should break channeling. If it breaks channeling most mesmers will try to have at least 2 clones before moa. This will put some other abilities under cooldown as well
In any case you’ll find it harder to moa AND burst right after it
I don’t get the complaint about HoT builds being overtuned, on the video you basically implode anyone with a mind wack xD
I’m sure there were tougher nuts to crack but jeebus….
Also regarding your MMR hell rant there’s a popular belief here in the forum that making a new (F2P or otherwise) account, farming rank 20 in hotjoin and starting ranking puts you in better teams so it’s possible this is one of the reason you did 70 matches less. I highly doubt you alone carried every game. Looking at the scores there were blowouts for your team in ruby and in diamond.
10/10 entertaining vid though
“I don’t get the complaint about HoT builds being overtuned, on the video you basically implode anyone with a mind wack” – Comment of the year on this forum.
well i firmly believe that there are core specs that still work in current meta
Work, but are still far less powerful.
I didn’t say they were meta

Account sharing comes with certain risks, which is why we have a rule against it. Normally we don’t action against it (unless one of the parties was doing bad things). Doing it during a tournament is a bad idea.
I’ll make something very clear. When you share your account, we know. You can try to hide it, but we know, and we will be watching.
Maybe you should also take action if people from the achievement leaderboard do this. There are several people in the top 25 getting unfair advantages by account sharing and one of them is even a partner of Anet and gets privileges like unlimited free server transfers without cooldowns.

I’ll make something very clear. When you share your account, we know. You can try to hide it, but we know, and we will be watching.
I know you think you know, but really you need to check to see if people change the account’s keybinds, because there’s people like me who travel and have installed the gw2 client on machines besides my own personal one’s. So you can’t just rely on changes in location informaiton, or mac addresses.
But people don’t have to change the keybinds on the GW2 account you can get a 3rd party keybind mapper to be an invisible bridge to make keybinds what you want them, which unless the GW2 client is able to tap into Mac, Linux, and Windows process mangement can’t be detected.
In this particular case though, I’m sure it was strange that the same IP address was being used for two accounts that normally use different IP addresses. Frostball should have called his ISP and had them give him a new IP lease or just gone to some other internet conneciton. Do your research next time kids.
There is not only ip adresses you can use to identify account sharing. Each part of your computer like HDD, GPU, CPU have unique serial numbers anet can use to identify and even make hardware bans.
I have like …. 3 computers. All with different hardware setups ranging from intel to amd to nvidia. A computer at the office I sometimes login too. If ANet tracked every person that is like me they’d be doing proof reading 99.99% of the time
A far easier approach would be to monitor client settings. I mean .. if you play your account your way and I play my account my way and you log into my account with your keybinds and settings it becomes clear that I’m not on any of my computers right now and instead play from remote location. Which MIGHT still be okay as in … if I’m guesting at your house and just want to show you “something”
So you see…they get the reports but it’s not as easy as you describe it. There are perfectly valid reasons to login from different computers all the time. Your opinion is shortsighted.
My latest “account share” was with my girlfriend, whos outside of the country atm but wanted gems but didn’t want to use her own credit card so I logged into her account, bought the gems and signed off.
I’m not banned for it. And I’d be surprised if I was.
Wouldn’t it be awesome if ANet kept average CPM for every player? (clicks per minute) some of the time this could be seen as digital DNA for some players.

This made my day. Thank you for your amazing photoshop skills
That BMW though. So pretty.
You must be pretty sad playing the division. Isn’t it like the most boring game released this year (yet)?
Fallout 4 DLCs have more content…and they are just bunch of shelves and tables and chairs and kitten
ANet will always bundle expansion content with all previous content in the “core”.
So if you are complaining now, I guess wait until the next expansion and you’ll possibly play HoT for free
Or they will probably bundle all expacks into the 50$ pricetag ontop of the core game. It might be it.
Either way, F2P/core-only players are too few to make statements like “pay 50$ and steamroll every f2p player” because that’s far from the truth. Most people in sPvP already have HoT anyway. Or at least the ones I’m matched up with.

He’s basically kitten about BogOtter’s subscription count while he has measly 60 subs. Thus he’s going to try to farm some.
Best of luck with his endeavours but it has nothing to do with the current game state, he’s just jelly
Probably feels bad to see a PvE pleb having better “strim” than his “uber” “strim”
you’re right though, OW and GW2 are apples and oranges. but only in a sense that one is a dedicated pvp game with a team that has a vision, and the other one is a faceroll spamfest with no build variety, no vision, terrible competitive play, and basically no audience.
And how many builds does the tracer have in Overwatch? Or any other hero
Have some call of duty while waiting for OW.
P.S:
im no blizz fanboy. i thought they were the devil when i pvp’d in WoW. but you cant deny that they make good quality games, support them consistently, and come up with the most popular IP’s on the market.
“I thought they were the devil but I still paid a subscription fee to the devil” – see how dumb this sounds.

I have been duoQing with my girlfriend whole season. Most of the times I was matched with VoIP premades and still prevailed while my teammates were nothing more than a fodder. Got “stuck” in last tier of ruby.
Went in the soloQ and carried myself to diamond and I didn’t lose there. Sadly, the time ran out and I couldn’t farm the legendary division :c (i did take a few week break, should’ve just soloQed)
With that being said, I don’t think it’s right to match duoQ who are on win/loss/win/loss streak for sometimes with a full premade. Or at least not every game.
Either way, those divisions are a joke. There’s no prestige being diamond either, I might miss season 3 allthogether just as I missed season 1.
No, OP the ranked wont make you feel any better or worse. Although competition is a little bit more fierce than unranked. I can’t win 3v1s as I do in unranked. People know their dps rotations in ranked. Although in S2 that was just necros basically spamming chill)))
Infact, with all the elitism in this game, there’s practically no difference between diamond and emerald. So you either legendary or fodder.
Keep in mind there are baddies in legendary that got carried there one way or another.
Also knowing when to “rotate” trumps mechanical skill. Basically what this means is, you should “sense” when to give up a teamfight to go and capture an unprotected capture point with as little risk as possible. Or stalemate a capture point. The first sentence is more suited toward thief/mesmer/revenant as they have better mobility and are more likely to win their 1v1

Rev doesn’t seem very powerful at all to me, I’ve been soloing then with my warrior using nothing but a long bow.
Ha, ha! I think that’s the point.
Evade into the rev or to the side, not backwards. This is not a hard attack to dodge once you see it coming, and revs often make it VERY obvious.
Agreed, it’s not hard to dodge, but it is bugged and rips you out of dodge skills and evasive skills half the time. I’ve had it rip me out of SW-3, SW-2, and D-4. It once rubber banded me out of Sw-2 and put me right in the line of attack to take full damage.
So, fix that, or let them curl up and roast under condition pressure.
Never experienced a bug with evading Staff 5 ever yet.
He probably is playing with over 120 ping. Nothing wrong with revenant though. I’ve never been rubber banded into the line of sight for the staff #5 Actually no skill “rubber bands” me unless I lag.

Press V.
Staff daredevil shreds condi mes in 3-4 vault crits, you just have to toy the mesmer to waste their 3 blocks and bunch of blinks.
As always, D/P and S/D having higher skillcap make things a bit more difficult
Torment cleanse on withdraw is fun too. Wish it could remove confusion too :U
At this moment I am unsure if the current balance isn’t worse than last few years when thief was ultimately killing mesmer without breaking a sweat. The problem with current balance is that thief has no room for mistakes. A random immobilize or a random chain stun could be exactly what the mesmer needs to burst you down and even if you survive you won’t have the HPs to keep on fighting so it’s likely you’ll reset the fight.
It’s a difficult fight.
recall mantra lockdown mes
What about it? Withdraw has always gotten me out of difficult situations. Back then it was doing more “range” too so I was gaining distance on top of higher HP return.
And last year you could barely touch an S/D thief. Sure the damage is meh but the amount of evade frames was insane. If played right it was borderline impossible to kill. It never made it into ESL because it didn’t burst as hard as D/P although I do recall Toker using S/D in couple of matches.
you talking meta or no…because everyone can counterbuild in 1v1 but it’s completely useless in real..
Before June thief nerf last year I didn’t consider mesmer a viable opponent. Not under any circumstance. All they could do is flee with a portal and that’s about it.
Sure they one-shot me every now and then when they caught me by surprise and under cooldowns but mesmer was a joke to the thief for quite some time. Unless you facetanked all the shatters
I had better sustain, I had interrupts, I could go everywhere they go with shadow step and steal. Then they introduced this full 3 trait lines bullkitten and rearranged traits and completely kittened up the thief. And EVEN THEN the thief remained in the meta until the revenant. Because of mobility.

As always, D/P and S/D having higher skillcap make things a bit more difficult You have to make sure you make a successive steal and you should rather backpedal if you fail. Resistance is too strong to be missed in 1on1 versus mesmer. It allows the thief to apply pressure without consequences for few seconds. With all the mobility and interrupts the thief is perfectly capable to give a run for the mesmer’s money.

Yeah it’s a pitty, i no longer kill people when switching to staff when my hydromancy procs on the revenant
/s
Awww tearful reapers. This is priceless after all the annoyance you and your brethren gave me while i was climbing the god kitten ladder. I must say, after seeing you getting corrected, which shows how ultimately bad 99% of the reapers were i sleep better at night
Oh boy, I almost got depressed that I’m bad having such near games in diamond. Now I’m able to keep 3 guys busy for the whole game in unranked pretty much only because they can’t focus properly. Fun times
That and the new skyhammer has so many obstructions i almost feel bad for the guys

because some power specs last more than the 3 seconds that the average power rev lasts vs the condi cancer classes out there.
what….rev has the second most reliable way to remove chills(first of thief but thief is not viable), the strongest condition in the current meta….the only thing it has to be careful is mesmer shatter..but rev also has plenty of evades and blocks to avoid the shatters…also rev has a medium HP..
You did bring your jokes bag with you this morning
True. The game was nice to watch. The interview was a little disencouraging tho.
How do you deal with the supposedly strongest thief? Just ignore him.
Yeah I’ve followed Sindrener a lot; learning tips from vids and having playing few games with him while climbing the ladder has been eye opening. (random matchmake)
Just watching that precision in blowing up meta builds was gr8 m8 Not to forget the combo teamplay they did with Tage. Fantastic!! xD
But yeah, counter thief by ignoring them. Very very sad. I actually figured that out on my own just playing the game.
The teef has become too elusive and its kinda hard to lock them down if they dont want to die and the damage is … meh? I mean .. sure … 3k backstab hurts. Necroes and other metas hurt a lot more though. So if you have to prioritize just attack the more powerful classes/builds and the thief will supposedly backpedal on all the AoE
(edited by Ravenmoon.5318)
You guys have balls to go out with a teef and a DH and actually doing good in the current meta Hats down!
Your comp reminded me of that insane Boston WTS tournament you guys made last year.
10/10 most enjoyable game for the night here in EU.
