Guild Wars 2

Bhawb.7408:

My question is this: why do you want stability? Or vigor? We want this for a few reasons: to be able to actually do the above class-design; to be able to survive huge burst and get past CC to get to our target.

Hey yo, my WvW frontline tank necro already has the capabilities to survive huge bursts and can get past CCs to get the enemy…..it is called using Melandru runes, using -condition duration food, and knowing when to double roll….oh, and not running squishy kitten builds like most necro seems to run these days whether in WvW or PvE. The ONLY time I have any type issues is when I get seriously focused fire and I have eventually learned/developed some strategies to survive those instances.

One word:
Conditions.

That is all.

The problem with this thread is the same problem many of the posts suffer from. You have three types of content.

1. Is PvE
2. Is PvP
3. Is WvW, which is PvE with incidental PvP thrown in.

Guardians are fine as far as I know in PvE. The problem comes in with PvP,

so how do guardians deal with condi spamfest these days?

You get a warrior =P.

On eload of BS followed by more of such.
Learn to play Guardian and even condi spamfests can be dealt with.

WvW is PvE = hilarious…….114K kills says otherwise……

Cover Girl.2580:

Thank you much Blackgate for the donation of RISE. They are cute, cuddly and eager to fight for their new mates over here at SoR. I took a personal liking to Jarvan. He wanted me to relay that the move was “nothing personal, but RISE had ex-RISE casual carebears in BG that didn’t WvW and that his playstyle is hardcore active and he didn’t want to recruit in a carebear non active WvW server anymore.”

Much luves to all the remaining Blackgate guys and the TC that I’ve encountered this week. Fun Party for sure!

You guys crack me up…you are all excited about getting not one, but two, guilds which care very little about server PPT and more about just fights. Yeah, be rejoiceful. LOL. Oh, and the more you run with Jarvan, the easier it is to digest the screaming and such he does….

Here is a better option: Not have the Leagues at all given most of you here cry and whine about them so much as it is.

In short, no matter what Anet implements as it regards Leagues or anything else for that matter, there will ALWAYS BE THOSE THINKING THEY KNOW BETTER or will simply CRY AND WHINE about anything and everything. =.=

No WvW does not need solo tasks. Go play PvP, hence what it is there for OR go solo supply camps, etc. =.=

You already get a reward for fighting other players – it’s called a loot bag, hello?

Actually, a far better idea would be to replace SMC with a designated GvG area – Anet, read this, hello!?

I have GvG’d but no longer. While many arguments here have merit and validity, be mindful that you are GvGing within a conflict zone (i.e.: the map you are in since all maps are conflict zones by definition). That said, getting trainlolrolled during an an actual GvG match should have always been a given possibility no matter your position on GvGs. Anet needs to create a GvG zone within the WvWvW instead of pushing GvG’ers off to PvP land….

JPSnow.8296:

wow why does every Merc player run away from a 1 on 1 glad I didn’t take jedahs up on helping run that guild long time ago

Every? Dude, you make a nice forum warrior but stop with all the absolutes. “Every” my kitten . Truth betold, a number of us probably buried you a few times and you just mad, bro. =.=

DevonCarver.5370:

I’d just like to make a note of one thing that I think people aren’t considering when they transfer to stacked worlds. You will not, repeat will not, be able to receive the reward based on overall world place in the league, unless you achieve the meta achievement for the season. If you aren’t able to get into WvW much, you won’t get the rewards. So it is absolutely taking a risk to transfer to a world that has a large WvW population.

Well said, BUT all of what you indicated is based upon those alleged ‘stacked servers’ having near 24-7 map ques….and they do not. Be assured, most will get their meta achievement completed even if they have to stay up past their bed times and get them done when there are no map ques.

Then again, as indicated, some to most of us play for the competition, not the mere rewards garnered….

Full berzerger.
I play that build on wvwvw.very strong on small fights.if i am in big zerg i switch d/d with staff and geting ground wells.

And if not careful, you insta-death as soon as someone gets close enough to sneeze on you.

0/10/30/30/0
full soldiers gear and accessories
25 stacks of bloodlust
built and designed to be a frontline necro tank leading zergs in with plague and still be effective in DS.

Run two sigils of stamina….your vigor problem is solved.

Anet has an ideology that a necro is a chase class?

Of course we are talking PvE right, cause if most of you went into WvW with these paper builds, you will grow seriously frustrated by your continued near-instant deaths coupled with being cow’d (spiked)?Thank you for the badges though….

Comparing Aegis with a warrior’s shield block is comparing apples and oranges and near ludicrous.

Tarkus.4109:

………..Its kinda disgusting though that the second that we leave that a lot of the leadership of blackgate turned feral, you wouldn’t have been in T1 if it wasn’t for our help and the way certain members reacted has effectively burnt all bridges. Nice to know all of the hours we put in got turned around so quickly.

From the reaction given to us not 6 hours in I know what server I’ll be focusing in Oceanic and late PST. No sympathy.

Word and agreed!

Half your problem is that you are a warrior and only have 19+/- K health….in WvW, to boot.

Not a trait worth using.

iNtotheblue.8624:

MERC proves once again they are the king of the bandwagon,
LOL looks like jq could pay and tc couldn’t.

You mad bro? Look forward to seeing you on the battlefield. Keep it classy, kkthx. /salute.

Uric.3280:

Oh no, good luck JQ. MERC’s toxicity is hard to avoid within a community.

Gonna suck having to move maps to wipe MERC and ATM separately now though, but we’ll take it.

If your in the guild I think you are in, moving maps is not new to you all given you swap maps religiously after getting wiped a few times, but hey, yeah, please look for ‘us’ cause the mutual wiping brings loads of loot…..

please stop running away

15 agg + 15 ns vs. 15 ep + 15 exs. happening now

Yeah, from the few beginning matches I saw, seemed pretty interesting. Overall results?

Convenant.7092:

LOL @ everybody talking about 1v1s.

Yeah, apparently, they are confusing WvW with PvP….is there not a place already for that? =.=

globe.7238:

I’ll just leave this here for those that are still delusional, you guys are totally outmanned right now.

Lol, holy mega-SoR-blob…..

I Mhenlo.1083:

can SOR and BG stack more people for EU-time, we need more fights, kills and baggys. so 100-200 guys more would be great.

So you want to be murdered more than you are now or simply looking to continue your tanking so as to help with JQ’s ‘we are desperately in need of moRe guilds’ recruitment efforts?

I sure that Anet, as with any other gaming company, realizes that some will simply complain about anything and everything. OP any different, I think not. But yeah, I am getting so tired of this……being done game after game after game ad nauseum.

Glassiest glass-cannon build, really?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfyPxSqlIpo

Use this build and level till your heart is content.

If you, as a roamer or small group player, Amins, are not doing such with the recent WvW patch, you are doing something wrong. Not sure why you are complaining here, really.

Christos de Soufre.3802:

If I had 3-5k extra base health, I’d be unstoppable.

Given the bloodlust buffs and the applied fortitude gained from having maxxed out Defense Against Guards, you should be “unstoppable” now.

Empty? Are ques for all four maps normal then, cause that is what is happening on the server I play on at given times of each day?

Mushin Tips.1623:

wow never seen so many people run away like t1

Can’t keep up with those numbers, this could explain why your not receiving the fights you so long for.

NS only fields 16 tops

JJ, you can fool some but there are others you cannot fool. Shall some of us that are not fooled by your claim post relevant screenshots? Let’s not go there, kk?

Doomdesire.9365:

As for SoR, I think we are in a good position. We don’t need anymore recruits but of course guilds will mindlessly flock here for the leagues.

Some of SoR talk a good line or two but in the end, nearly week in and week out, those lines amount to nothing because the results are nearly always the same, eh?

Doomdesire.9365:

I think it may be time to move to a lower tier if things get out of hand

Please do, it might spare some of us the whining and excuse making. /salute

Wait, a build strictly for TEQ, what?

I am working towards 250K kills; as such, I will continue to play WvW.

SFShinigami.2015:

FACT: Everytime you yell “PRAISE JEDSUS” an angel gets its wings.

Here is an actual fact: Your ‘fact’ is nothing more than wishful thinking….

Hyper.6374:

TLDR:- is anet manipulating the trading post that’s supposed to be player driven?

No.

Awesome and your source?

And your source that they (ANeT) are indeed doing manipulations?

Vayne.8563:

They said we’ll release the game when it’s ready, and they didn’t. They released it due to market pressures.

When it’s ready is a funny word. Ready for what? The whole idea of saying when it’s ready is to let people know that it’s not coming soon.

But they released this game probably a year early. You didn’t learn from that?

And what game is any different? None!

Fix the periodic lag and two thumbs up so far as it relates to the bloodlust buffs.

Yes…..the buffs are the bomb and will – will – force a zerg/blob meta change in WvW to gain and keep those buffs. I also love the fortitude added with those buffs. Woot!

Azure.8412:

Is it true that the bloodlust buff is causing the lag?

Is it still true to your claim that MERC is headed to JQ?
Your answer will answer the question you have asked.

Oh my, really, a TEQ necro build? Wow. lol

From my perspective, you need more health and your using too much knight’s gear. I would recommend a 0/0/30/30/10, 0/5/30/30/5 or 10/0/30/30/0 build. If you are going to operate in a zerg environment or group, you will get buffs from that group – factor those in as it relates to your crit chance, etc.

As for armor, try:

Helm = PVT
shoulders = knights or zerkers
chest = PVT
gauntlets = knights or zerkers
legs = PVT
boots = knights or zerkers

Accessories = either all Cavalier or all Soldiers

KayOz.3750:

Pretty funny to see BG and JQ paying guild to join their servers.
Poor guys.

And SoR is not? lmao. =.=

PredatoR.5247:

Here to put an end to “if and when Agg leaves” rumors. We made our Chinese friends in Jade Quarry a promise that Aggression will be staying on Jade Quarry for the long run this time, longer than our longest stay on any server previously (Sea of Sorrows) during our PPT days. The rumors upset our friends and I just wanted to verify that Aggression is going to stay on Jade Quarry possibly up to our last day on Gw2.

I also believe no more transfers are needed, Fort Aspenwood and Dragonbrand could use guilds if there is an intention on having more than 3 “competitive” servers.

Of course, PredatoR, as we all know, “promises” are made to be broken too. Please prove this type thinking wrong and actually stay “for the long run this time,” kkthx.

Read your own question you asked above…not to be rude or anything….=.=

We should always have a CHOICE – blocking that ability to have a CHOICE will have irreversible consequences for this game.

Yeah, you all keep talking….

This is my current Frontline WvW build (support with GS or Hammer with Staff on swap):

2400+ toughness, 3500+ armor, 28% crit chance, 30% crit damage, 19300+ health, 2000+ power and 3100+ attack with food buffs BUT without bloodlust and/or fortitude stacks, skills modifiers from self and/or friends/party, etc.

Majority of gear is PVT with a few pieces of Knights added in.

psygate.5632:

Please ANet… Give us a way to run or to stay in a fight (and yes, I mean stability.)

Anet has, it is called Melandru runes, reduced conditions food, and well of power (as limited as it may be), along with some traited limited stability. Even with only the use of Melandru runes and reduced conditions food, my frontline tank necro is rarely stunlocked/perma-CC’d.
