Raided a ton this weekend, and looking for more people, if your short on gold and want a good WvW community. We holding some awesome theory crafting sessions with the new trait system. Def looking for more qualified players to join our ranks Will be online all night tonight, hit me up!

meow! rawr! meow! rawr!

Your post is very reassuring. I think I might swap out my scepter and go with d/f like you said. I’ll miss dragon tooth and stone shards/rock barrier but oh well.

Bumping this cause this needs a fix. Its absurd they are removing traits that work towards build diversity while adding bullcrap conversion traits to the fire trait line.

So is there a reason why none of the fire axe skills do more than 1 stack of burning? Were they that lazy and didn’t care that they just halved the damage on an already kittenty conjure?

Ring of fire on dagger is 3 stacks of burning, ring of fire on the conjure is WAIT FOR IT, 1 stack…

The only reason to take signets in the past was the AWESOME trait synergy between fire’s embrace + elemental shielding + blinding ashes. Could take all that and still trait for -signet cooldowns. Written in stone isn’t a trait, its an abomination, anyone that takes it is a fool. Most signet builds didn’t even use written in stone since it was such crap beforehand. Now we got a useful cooldown reduction trait rolled into something super terrible. We went from having 2 good traits and 1 bad signet trait to… 1 bad signet trait.

Whoever came up with the idea for power overwhelming is an idiot, why the hell do ele’s need two conversion to condi damage traits? News flash condi damage still scales incredibly poor and is not worth getting. There has been no other class that has had good traits removed for crappy conversion one.

Conjurer needs to be buffed back with when signets are used, gain fire aura. Like legit they were thinking of ways to buff it during the dev release, and then they just gave up… fantastic. Remove the AoE from blinding ashes and bring it back down to 3s icd like it was said in the dev release.

Very disappointing. All the people playing meta ele builds complain and the devs bend over and make the meta builds way stronger. Signets nerfed to the status of glyph builds.

meow meow meow

Raided all day on saturday and when I tagged down, we still have 28 people online, could def continued if someone wanted to pick up. If you wanna jump into a guild you can work with, def hit me up.

Had a great Saturday raid, Sunday off due to holiday, hit me up tonight if you wanna chat though.

Will be online next like 10 hours, hit me up! Would love to chat :P

will be around next 5 hours if you wanna chat hit me up! gonna be doing a wvw run so might be a little busy but ill get back to ya

I’ll be online next like 5 hours if anyone wants to hit me up, replying to the messages I got overnight now!

If you need to hit me up, shoot me a message here on in game and ill get back to ya tomorrow morning ^^

Just brought a great leader over from DB. If you wanna join our increasingly stacked core hit me up, ill be online the next 5 hours.

Bumping this thread back up as were looking for another qualified leader, hit me up in game or here!

I’m around now if you wanna chat. Set up a new commander last night, so if you wanna join the crew, we got 5 awesome leaders in the guild already. Guild leader has ran the 500 person wvw guild before, one returning leader ran a 50+ person archeage pvp guild, I have run multiple wvw guilds before, new recruit used to run a 50+ wvw guild. Pretty stacked atm, if you wanna join hit me up in game.

Around for the next 5 hours or so if anyone wants to chat in game!

If you have experience in gvgs/driving gvgs that would also be something were looking for in a leader.

Back online if anyone needs to hit me up

Should probably specify what server your talking about.

Lots of weekend action, will be online most of tomorrow as well, would def like to bring over another top tier leader.

Will be online most of the day, if anyone needs to contact.

Regen is overrated vs any skill group, basically what happens is good groups kill people in 1-3 seconds that are caught out of position or in a bomb. Something I tested a ton was regen warrior which had the ability to give everyone in my group close to 700/second healing on top of their normal heals and everyone elses healing. So you could potentially get everyone in the group to 1k-2k healing/second. Then we ran into a skilled wvw group and people died in seconds, not giving the regen enough time to kick in and save them.

Regen works alright in scrappy/unorganized fighting, but vs groups that coordinate their attacks to happen at the same time/location or on the same targets, people die way faster than any amount of regen could save them.

Also you have to look at the opportunity cost. Some of the sigils like fire sigil can give massive damage increases, and you should be using the two best sigils possible, so if you say sigil of water should be used, argue why fire/bloodlust/energy/air shouldn’t

just finished a 7 hour wvw run on reset, had a pretty solid showing for all 7 hours, if you wanna run like this with some highly skilled players hit me up.

Had a couple responses, will be super active this weekend, great time to get in contact with me and the guild. Feel free to check out our forums atm too : http://www.purewhiteguild.com/forums/index.php

Had one person whisper me already, im online a ton, hit me up anytime in game.

pW, Pure White, is a guild that returned to the game a month back. The guild used to be one of the top WvW guilds right after release and really pushed SoS to the #1 spot. The guild did switch games to the other mmo’s that have came out recently which have all been disappointments so we are back in gw2 ramping up for the expansion! We are rebuilding the guilds core now, we already have around 150+ active players, and 100 inactive/returning members.

What I am looking for in this post is people that could be guild leaders in their own right. People that either have guild leadership experience or 100s of hours of commanding experience. To be one of the strongest guilds in the game the guild is looking to have around 10 top tier commanders/leaders to make up the guilds core. We will be a guild that strives to dominate every aspect of wvw, fights and ppt, during all timezones. The guild currently has a solid na and ocx presence with around 25-30 members online during these times.

If you qualify and want to get into a highly ambitious guild hit me up here or in game mail/whisper and we can chat. The goal is to have an awesomely coordinated/skilled group that runs all hours for whenever you want to play, and to be fully ready to be the top guild come expansion time. To show the guilds seriousness we will pay the transfer fee, which is close to 300g, of anyone on another server that wants to be a part of our rising success.

Thanks, Look forward to hearing from you in game/below.

prolly trying to buy it :P

Bumping this, will be online all tomorrow.

Guild is getting more and more active as of late with the new commanders. Hit me up if you wanna get involved. The way I see it is these commanders are people that could be guild leaders in their own right, but we are simply stacking one epic guild instead.

We have recruited 25 more players in the last 9 days since I made this post. Trying to push for 150+ active members next.

Fantastic recruitment page lol!

:P, if anyone else is interested feel free to hit me up in game, whispers/mail works ^^

Had one of the new commanders lead a group of around 15 of us last night, was a lot of fun as were looking to get more serious

Got two great commanders into the guild thanks to this thread. Will be raising funds over the next couple days if anyone else is interested. Cheers!

Talked to two commanders so far, gonna take a break and raise more gold, then going to keep the leadership recruiting going! Thanks to everyone that responded so far ^^

Official raids im looking at 30+, once we hit 30+ we can afford to split up forces easily. We already have 30 people online at times during ocx/na, but it is inconsistent and I would rather have it be steadier.

What im looking for in commanders i’d be willing to pay to bring over is the following: is the willingness to play 4-5+ days a week, and tag up 8+ hours a week
good attitude, will chat on teamspeak beforehand
400+ hours commanding experience

I am going to try to bring over multiple commanders into the guild. Fights guilds can get away with just having 1 driver/leader, but larger guilds that play more often need a solid council of drivers/guild officers.

If you want more guild specific info, hit me up in game. Will be online all day.

I am restarting a wvw focused guild that already has 70+ active members and 150+ inactive/returning members, for a total of 220+ current members. I tag up a ton for it and am one of the drivers/commanders but my goals for the guild are to run 2-3 timezones/day so there is always a lot going on. We have two solid drivers already but I am looking for one really committed WvW commander to push the guild to the next level.

To show my seriousness I am willing to send 500g to the commander that wants to join me on my mission, partly to cover transfer fees if applicable. I will explain my mission below:

The skill cap in this game is incredibly high, the best guild I have witnessed in WvW which was a chinese guild Hong Feng took out 50-60 people at once with 15. I want to instill a willingness to get skilled at fighting, with the skill of great ppt commanders. I intend to have this guild dominate both realms of WvW, fights and ppt.

WvW has gotten fairly polarized in certain instances with fights guilds that do 0 ppt and the blobbier ppt focused guilds. I wanna make a highly trained guild group that runs big and crushed both of them, but that also is coordinated enough to split up and defend/attack multiple things maximizing efficiency. When the expansion comes out I want the guild to be on top of its game. I want this guild to be the top guild, not in terms of gvg’s, but in terms of presence/server leadership and just what it can do.

I tag up often, sometimes for 5+ hours at a time, so ideally im looking for a commander that has the potential of doing some longer runs. Any timezone works, I play them all, guild has a lot of aussies/na players in it currently. Whisper/mail me in game to discuss if you wanna help build up something truly great.

Anyone else notice that the gold limit hasn’t reset this week yet? Its 30 minutes late

In fallen’s post he points out that if anet makes a 15v15 or 20v20 pvp mode that they would have the entire market. The market for 5v5 competitive games is very fierce atm with all the moba’s and even the crappy mmo’s out there have 5v5 arenas.

From a business perspective this is the blue ocean strategy of trying to go for the entire market instead of being just another game that has 5v5 matches.
http://www.blueoceanstrategy.com/

I support this business decision greatly, investing heavily into 5v5 matches is the red ocean, 15s-20s is the blue ocean. Imagine how bad kitten it would be to showcase a 15v15 GvG at something like PAX compared to yet another 5v5 game. How the game scales is fantastic and ANET should exploit their combat system in 15s-20s.

EA is a GM worthy trait lol…
