Guild Wars 2

if you only use chest valkirye , weapons and amulet you get more
i have 17500 hp on my thief, but i saw some builds with 21k hp

gladiator (Rare 60-80)
you can prew it at trading post

badges and wvwwvw achivements are like farming at this moment. Yes the player contribue more to the team by following the zerg, but how would an that be fair.
take in comparation that an tier 8 player maybe frag 30 kills /day and an tier 1 maybe frag1500 kills.

stof.9341:

Wait, someone found a use for Needle Trap? No way!

How did he place it exactly?

yes ,somebody found an use for it
Pve: on dredge fractals at last boss, on collosus fractal at first boss.
PvP : against glas cannon thieves that steal CND on you , against glas cannon warriors that bull charge on you
you could test it

Arekai.5698:

Is this really how you’re supposed to fight in this game?
Fight to not win against a certain class?

Someone please enlighten me about this mechanic. Maybe i’m missing something because i can’t find the fun factor in that.

so he is not allowed to heal and remove conditions ?
Hey don’t use your skills, and i won;t use mine
you could ask mesmers not to dodge cause they spawn clones, or to elementalists not to change autuments, cause they receive boons

AlBundy.7851:

Care to post some vids of your warriors in action?

I have the strangest feeling though that the gameplay you would post would actually trump your terrible grammar and sentence structure or at least break even. If that last sentence was hard to understand let me try this, “WHOLLY PHUK WAT U GUIZ RITE IZ ARD 2 REED IZ DAT SHIIZZ EVAN ENGRISH??”

i am sorry but i cannot take anybody serious with the nickname AlBundy….
Even more if he is arrogant, hej ma frend, i was in scoul and me is cnov betta englese dat iou do

MiLkZz.4789:

1on1 and WvW and PvE, warriors are fine and don’t need big changes. They just don’t really fit into sPvP.

yes , because warrior is items dependent , and food is an big factor, and in sPvP you are too limited.
If they would allow more stat mix in sPvP warrior would become better. If they would allow also food buff, warriors would be on top 3
that’s the diference betwen my " wvwvw /pve " stats and my sPvP stats
The rune i use is earth , So in wvwvw, at first burst i have 33% protection and 3500 armor, that would count as 4700 ?, while i regekitten0 hp /sec
i also keep 70% critical damage and more then decent critical rate -over -80% with accuracy stacks and furry .
thieves cannot afford to trade blow for blow with me, guardians cannot damage me…
and sadly other warriors play most bersek builds , wich makes them frags on map
On sPvP i got 30% lower armor and lower critical damage, and that makes me inofensive

i actualy eat alive any clas in 1 vs 1 with my warrior, except bunker elementarists , wich i ignore

Warrior is by far the best commander for wvwvw. He is cannon meat , he can jump in the middle of enemy zerg and survive
For wvwvw commander i would suggest : focus full survaivability:
P/T/V armors /jewels
30 points in defence -30 in tactics, lot of stability- an shout build maybe or banner build.
Hammer and sword /axe or mace
Commander’s responsability is to lead the team, and survive for ppls morale not to DPS

I will post you 1 hammer build if you aim for zerg vs zerg:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIAQNBiYDbkzJGu5R5hJOgge8FZhAaK8DpHlBakGA;TcAKvMdJ6yykjJpXnPA

Pro’s :
-SelfBufs :
signet of rage : permanent swiftness /furry /might
warhorn: almost permanent vigor
high duration stability -16 seconds active + pasive one ( the runes bonus are 5% lower on sPvP)
high duration for retailation – 8 seconds every 15 seconds.
-Heals :
shouts will heal you for 1600 each every 20 seconds, and 1 high heal -healing sourge
-2 stun breakers
-high armor / hp, decent damage with all the boons on you
-high survaivability
-good aoe damage , large area damage, good CC
CONS :
-mediocre mobility, you rely on team or you rely on perma swiftness and 1 sword leap
- condition removal is relative poor, you count on high hp and heals to survive conditions, but is the lest problem in zerg vs zerg
- lack of constant damage, weak build for 1 vs 1 situations

azizul.8469:

if you’re in T1 server and whine about WvW queue, then you need to rethink your choice of server, seriously….

yeah..crashing sucks…. i had game crashed twice this week since the update… haven’t had that much before…

i love your sarcasm but i QQ about double queue

Fuzzion.2504:

Can someone clarify, “Is another official forum for EU players?”

If not, can all EU players start with “Hi im from EU and I have this problem….”

o.O , you feel supperior as US player ? i am confused, or why should EU players start like that and not US players.

I’ve played both tier 1 . Seafarer Rest and Sea of sorrows, when they were NR1 EU and US
I can tell you that EU players play more organized and tactic. On the other side US are fearless … they don’t care about deads or repair costs, they play more for fun, while EU play to win.

Well EU WvWvW , at least where i play is more alive then ever. You see non stop orange swords on map during EU times ( 4 pm – 12 PM GTM) and 100/100/100 blobs often at peak.i Managed to tag 1400 kills saturday just by following the blob

If you want more heal use an regeneration build :
15 points in defence (adrenal heal) +30 in tactics (banner regeneration) +healing signet = over 600 hp /sec ~ 20k hp regen /minute
or shout build " 3 shots x 1400 heal every 20 seconds + healing sourge 8700 every 30 seconds ~ 30.000 healed /minute
Protection = earth runes = with 30 points in tactics you get 6 seconds protection every 30 seconds.
*Edit your comparation doesen’t make much sense , thieves got no direct acces to protection and 10700 hp , while warrior get direct acces to stability, retailation and base hp 18000
Also heal on hit skills are more specific to thieves, they got malice signet and assasin reward

Jonwar.9205:

The difference between 2700 and the max armor (which is not 4000 btw) is something like 20% I believe. At least that’s what I remember from punching stuff into buildcraft some time ago.

If you would like to make a long story short unless the wiki’s wrong, damage is:
power * weapon damage * skill coefficient / armor

Lets break this kitten down barney style, just for fun.

Lets just assume for a second we’re using a skill coefficient of one, 2k power and 1k weapon damage as it just makes this easier to follow (and prevents me from having to break out the calculator)

2,000 * 1,000 / 2400 = ~833
2,000 * 1,000 / 2,700 = ~741
2,000 * 1,000 / 3,000 = ~667
2,000 * 1,000 / 3,300 = ~606
2,000 * 1,000 / 4,000 = 500 (Last time I checked 4k armor isn’t even possible)

A warriors base HP is 18,387 (I’m just looking on buildcraft now). So we go HP/Damage to find out how many hits we can take and…

2.1k: 20
2.4k: 23
2.7k: 25
3k: 28
3.3k: 31
4k: 37

Unless I’m mistaken about the damage formula, it seems like the returns aren’t so diminishing. Didn’t intend to do all this, but well, procrastination has a funny way of making me do stuff…

Check the healing and regeneration at those armors
healing signet, mango pie and adrenal heal, resulting an 220 +70+120 hp /second = 410 hp /second regeneration.
Example 1: 3300 armor
Without any dodges, invulnerability skills
you get attacked at 2 attacks /second ratio… 3.300 armor will survive 31 hits -15.5 seconds and will regen 6200 hp , so we add 5.5 more seconds survaivability and 2 more regenerated. 3300 armor survive 23 seconds
compared with 2700 armor
Example 2: 2700 armor
you get attacked at 2 attacks /second ratio… 2700 armor will survive 25 hits – 12.5 seconds and will regen 4920 hp , so we add 3.5 seconds and 1 more regenerated -17 seconds.
With Regenearation /heals/ dodges… etc and high armor you can tank damage from an single player forever

1 hour queue on a Wednesday? Jebbus what server do you play on?

Europe
Consider that servers like SFR got even 5-6 hours queue , starting 5 pm to 12 pm
And all servers t1 -t3 got queue durring prime time

Why ? Is US wvwvw lower populated?

is not an bug, check orange swords on map, when there are masive battles on map (70 vs 100 vs 80 ) , server ussage go up to 100% and only basic attacks will work untill the battle is over .

Here is my QQ topic
i went today with guild on wvwvw. Wait 1 hour in queue to enter borderland before peak time, and 30 minutes latter , my client crash (5-6 guys from my guild had error same time)
Now i am in queue again for 1h… and still cannot enter wvwvw…
I belive the queue system should allow players that were in wvwvw to have spot saved for 3- 5 minutes.

5% on 6 stats is 30% diference overall from an veteran to an newbie
newbie – 3000 power /3000 armor / 50% critical rate / 20000 hp
veteran – 3150 power /3150 armor /53% critical rate /23000 hp
same skill lvl, an fight will be
newbie die, veteran stay on 30 % hp

JJBigs.8456:

Over 120k DPS in one cleave total. 50,655 DPS on single target. I LOVE WARRIOR

thieves can backstab rabits for 1.5 milions Damage :P

Tasty border Riverside!

Tasty border Piken Square.

51 vistas but only 13 skill points, i am impressed

Deniara Devious.3948:

I understand the pain the hardcore gamers are experiencing at SFR right now. Everybody has noticed at Desolation that the average quality of SFR zergs has dropped down. Lots of cute green up arrows on enemy players and loot b ags for us.

Ayna Micro
PuG commander

As an ex-Sfr player , i can tell you this: SFR never had quality zergs, they rely on small organized groups, 20 -30 players, and you will hardly find 2-3 old SFR clans blobing toghether. I belive they are too proud to form an blob and win only by spamming 1.
As an example , before i left SFR (because insane queue’s caused by free transfer ) i saw VOTF GH GoD blobing on SFR respawn in VS border. In SFR , RG and Vcy refused to form an blob to fight back , they rather prefered to split them up and ignore the blob camping our respawn

In wvwvw on my warrior i find psihical damage classes inofensive (thieves /other warriors /guardians ) on 3300 defence and 25000 hp , with retailation (+ boon duration)
So i really belive that some mobility skills +stability + high defence are more then enough vs any psihical damage, and i belive warrior can tank psihical damage way better then guardian.

However staff mesmers or condition necros are an pain , they apply conditions too fast , for my poor condition removal.
Edit on Pve armor matter, but you have to combine it with mobility , for example high lvl fractals, you die in 2 seconds if you play berseker, but if you go on regeneration build with high armor, you barely get downed 1-2 times.

As for defensive traits, i find banner regeneration /spiked armor /furious reaction awsome , even if warriors could have more defensive traits

no, i made scout in 3 days ( rank 20 ) on my thief, now i play with my warrior (rank 7)
So i cannot play warrior in wvwvw, but i can play thief ?
this will also ruin game for players who only play 2 H/day, they will never be able to get in wvwvw

CrassBippy.4619:

I know the “trinity” wanted to be done away with, but as DMG and stats keep going up, its pretty much just glass cannon, and slightly less glass cannon.

Keeps getting worse with ascended armors too.

Why isnt WvW balanced like SPvP?

Please change topic title to : "can i have " and don’t speak in the name of an comunity who disagree with you
damage go up , defence can go up also, depends on what are you up too.
ascended is too easy to get at this moment, from daily /monthly
Why would you play an game with 6 diferent builds, based on 6 amulets, when you can make 1000 diferent builds from armors and accesory’s ?

Kalkz.5297:

phaneo.4597:

If it should contest only if there’s siege placed, you wouldn’t know if people are PvDooring it and if you’re busy elsewhere you would lose your keep before you even noticed anything which is far worse than having to run an extra half-mile. Contesting waypoints is a valid tactic to delay enemy reinforcements or to distract them.

If you want to Pvd a keep you will need at least 40 people, which causes orange swords, And sure we can do this to our enemy, But i consider it as a bug

ram does 8000 damage to nonupgraded gates, HB from warrior does 800-1000 damage , so 20 warriors would do same damage as 2 Rams. No swords,no contest, Flip Flip

Buro.3576:

There is 12% from full adrenaline 10% on bleeding targets 3% if endurance not full 10% GS 5% dual wielding and up to 18% !!! from 9 boons. You group with a guardian and you can realistically have 50% bonus damage just from traits for several seconds.

How is this fair? Can other classes get even 20% more damage on anything?

Oh and have you seen those coefficients on weapon skills?

And they buff banners… So is Anet OK with this? Are they not nerfing warriors because they think this will greatly impact their PvP performance?

would warriors trade all those traits for ?
Clone on dodge ( mesmer) , perma retailation (guardian) , perma regen, protection, swiftnes ( elementarist) , ability to stealth

warrior got other survaivability tools also
they got greatsword mobility, they got hammer CC ( an weapon with 3 CC skills)
Fear me , STOMP, endure pain (pasive+active)
to be honest i got way more survaivability on my warrior then on my guardian, in WvWvW

Kaga.7629:

Notice how he never drops 100b unless he’s sure his target isn’t getting away for example.

You mean his enemy’s didn’t fought back
i watch first 2 minutes, and i see he kill an thief twice, after he imobilize him.
Thieves got way too many tools to break imobilize, but the guy panic and didn’t fought back.
Guardians also got many tools to break imobilize or counter HB but the guy also haven’t used them.

actualy with 2 rune of monk /2 rune of water, 30 points in defense / 30 in tactics
1 discipline you can have:
retailation for 8 seconds every 15 seconds
-perma regeneration from banners , even if you leave the area for few seconds , you apply every 3 seconds 5 of regeneration
Perma efect of signet of rage (furry /swiftness /might)
Regeneration :
230 from signet of healing , 120 adrenal heal /70 food – 420 /sec + perma regeneration (banners)
The only problem is low condition removal -mending /shout/signet of stamina , all provide poor condition removal, but overall i would pick signet of stamina.
On another side, warrior can be by far the most mobile clas in game, sword leap / greatsword -rush /whirlwind / bull charge, if you go for an mobility build.

Anatolian Turk.4057:

nice start desolation, im proud to be desolation citizen living in sfr

Then ur SFR not deso. Why the hell go to wining server and try sound like honourable deso player.

im a Deso player NOT SFR! i have a lot of friends on desolation but zero in SFR. One of my best respected friend and ally is Moorta from IRON. He is the best commander in EU. Well im temporarily on sfr for work related reasons and im not telling you or anyone what is that exactly. thats all i can say for now

So IRON commanders need spy’s on SFR, that explains a lot

Now we got the proof,they both focus Deso since day 1 ^^
Wonder how deso managed to stay in Tier 1 so long against double team :P

So how you want your WXP retroactive ?
At this moment you get 1-60 XP / kill
For 50.000 kills you want 50.000 wXP retroactive or 300.000 ?

Sfr cannot even blob now, sad but true. Borderlands are full of newcomers caused by free transfers, old players and guilds cannot play togheter , an total fiasco.
I’ve been forced to transfer from the server i’ve liked the most and played last 6 months, because ridiculous 2 hours queue from 1 am to 3 am.

No problem , we will invade piken, brb transfering
Ah already did that

now i am forced to transfer from SFR (been here since 6 months except 2 weeks)
cause i got queue from 3 pm to 2 AM

swilkers.5938:

It is a zero honor class to play and zero skill to rule. I have a level 9 thief that can dominate players in WvW.

wich elite skills you use ?
and what traits ?
Can you post an video ?

It wasn’t easy before to win against Staff Mesmers -Condtion -tanky build.
Starting today i find it imposible, last 1 vs 1 ended an draw after 30 minutes, with me running in circle like an chicken (Without reseting fight , i have my pride)
Situation 1 : i open with " shadowstep / C&D /backstab " i get 4 seconds revealed and 10 stacks of confusion , cripple , bleed etc, i am forced to use “shadow return”/ " hide in shadows".
I use basilik vennom steal / CND backstab , i barely survive, and do shadow refuge. mesmer stay on 50% hp and untill i can attack again he got his utility’s reused also.

Situation 2 :i open with thieves guide and burst . he use 2 utility’s (blink +stealth) and kite in circle untill thieves are gone . then the story repeat

MY problem – i cannot remove conditions without stealth, i get instant confusion – i cannot attack/stelth for 4 seconds.
Any sugestions ? except sword (wich looks like the only viable option to remove confusion now)

So after wvwvw thieves were used to engage 1 vs 3- 4-5 and kill all in the end, they find 4 second revealed as an big nerf.
I am one of those players, but since no other classes can win 1 vs 4 fights, i belive nerf is fair in wvwvw.
on the pve side i do it fine with signet of malice + aoe , evasions , never used "an perma stealth build " there, even when i made fractals to an higher lvl
On sPvP i belive thieves got hit, by this debuf, but they can adapt also.

4:00 AM GTM +2 , and still …. 300 ppls in same place:)

same here i see ppls are in wvwvw but i cannot join or queue

you got your wvwvw experience against new wvwvw players already

well glas cannons receive an hard hit
basilik – daze not stun
4 seconds reveal after the backstab

there is no hack in those screens
thief /mesmer can go to enemy spawn with stealth +teleport :P

My oppinion :
1. elementarists (AOE /fields /block siege damage / finishers /area heal/bons – escape skill)
2. guardians ( aoe / aoe heals /boons /utility’s)
3. Memsers (veil / portal / time warp / aoe stealth)
4. warriors (cannon meat , strong melle attacks , high survivability against initial burst)
5. thieves ( scouts /roam)
6/7/8 necro /eng /ranger.

i’ve frapsed an hacker saturday (he was able to reset fight in less then 2 seconds, and instant reengage ) and become unreachable (leaps /teleports on him were failing ) and he was able to hit me melle.
A-net answered in arround 2-3 hours to my email. that means they do care, but i cannot know if any actions were took against that hacker

i belive 1 gold is relative low for 100 kills, so no reason to annoy pve players.
On the other side , even if i make over 300 kills /day, there are a lot of ppls who don’t manage to do 100 kills /cap 3 towers, on lower tiers , 2h/day

personaly i saw naked zergs trolling enemy’s spawn with 12 hours before reset , when the result was already clear. if ppls would not give much importance to the score ….

without score nobody would bother to cap, you have no ideea…
where would you roam without score ?
why would anybody cap supply /towers/keeps ? go to enemy spawn and camp them…
no tactics, organization
