Guild Wars 2

What builds require a “skill cap” to play? I don’t think that phrase means what you think it does.

The active needs to be more powerful than the passive.

Because of interrupt and timed poison risk is greater for active. Therefore reward must be greater.

Devs need to realize this.

I’d buy all 3.

I have got roster not found after every solo queue.

It happens more than you think.

Ranger can do well roaming because it is a strong condi duelist class. Most people in WvW don’t bring enough condi removal and you simply eat them alive.

A lot of it is skill level though. Sure you can 1v2, but you cannot if they are equally skilled as you. Because of tPvP balance, you will die to a 1v2 with decent people against you.

On Tricare’s note : You can also drop target, turn around very quickly, and complete the combo that way. You lose maybe a quarter second of run time if you do it that way.

Except I got 2 Dwayna from the wintersday gifts today.

Depends on map. Forest is sometimes better only doing 2 points.

I’ve said this a lot. It needs to happen. More players, better matchmaking, shorter queues, more viewers online.

Take a look at the popularity of Smite, it isn’t nearly as smooth or fun as gw2 pvp, yet it nets 2k viewers on twitch.

Every one of your proposed changes is over the top OP. Please leave shortbow as-is.

I disagree with most all of his points. I don’t want to take the time to explain why though.

Picking up a flag can replace your skills. Think a warrior banner.

This can be very interesting as a game time. I can see maps with side objectives like capturing a speed buff for your flag carrier or some node to hold for a stat buff. This way you can shrink the teamfight mess down to around 3 people or less.

I would like it.

I think rangers need a big trait reshuffle that at leat puts empatic bond into a 20 pt tier. That single trait limits any ranger build in pvp.

Ideally I want to see tanky dps ranger become viable, traps moved out of skirmishing, and spotter/another trait moved out of marksmanship into skirmishing.

Because perma burn and 15 stacks of bleed is balanced.

I found it expires within 10 min or less. Constant use has no effect on it. It seems that you must have the client running to use the API.

What is the plan for extrenely cheap sigils because of the crafting materials required for them?

Compare the damage against the same armor please.

Soldiers vs zerker amor and
Zerker vs soldier armor is not an equal comparison.

Please have everyone start on EQUAL FOOTING.

A day 1 player MUST have the same capabilities as a 2 yr player.

I want to reiterate tha if nobody is illing to buy, price won’t be high."

Check out this old skin: http://www.gw2spidy.com/item/37216

You can see someone bought out quite a bit during Jan 2013. Nobody bought and the price quickly tanked.

Yeah because you can watch a steath enemy.

I’d like norn ranger armor.

Silverwing or storm bow would be nice.

I like how the tags are now.

If nobody was willing to buy the price wouldn’t be high.

Flippers bring the market closer to equillibrium.

They make WTB higher and WTS lower.

I’ve never had any issue though. I just parse it in python into a giant dictionary and if I don’t want a key I just remove it or create a new dictionary with the values I want

Nobody thinks of hybrid BM AND spirits?

I guess I’ll be posting a build tomorrow. Too many bad builds on forums.

I can’t see zerker ranger because a bad build doesn’t make it high skill. I guess 14-14-14-14-14 is high skill because it is hard to kill anything, but I doubt that is what the OP is getting at.

You won’t hold tank 1v1 forever with that build. I don’t see you killing much either.

If you destroy the no skill builds, one may imagine a high skill build could replace it.

Spirit ranger → trap ranger.

Shatter mesmer. (Disregard any +stealth, phantasm, and chaos storm bug build)
Ele.

Then there are most normal builds which have good play but limited quantity. Stuff like guardian f3 on an incoming CC, or syncing bust with pet skills.

Then you have the brainless builds, which have no capability for clutch play, so there is no difference between players.

MM necro
Phantasm mesmer
Spirits + shortbow (Hate that this is the best ranger build)
Apoth warrior.

BLTP is the first that comes to mind. You can search with count=0 and get a total count returned in a part of the json.

Other people have summed this up nicely.

Ps- no mounts ever

The brackets would be easier, but I don’t have any trouble just using json parse to make it into a dictionary.

The headers are useful in their own way. Maybe not for your call. But some provide totals and such. (If I’m interpreting your complaint correctly.)

Gear progression is bad.

Everything must be open for everyone the moment they open the box. (25 skill point heals?)

So what happened the other two times?

Frankly, suck it up and deal with the 1 day dishonor. You ruin the match for 9 other people even when you dc.

I’m guessing you weren’t online earlier when the server wide crashes were happening, that or you didn’t really read his post. It wasn’t occurring to just these people and there wasn’t 9 other people even online in the match for the game to be ruined.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Server-wide-Disconnect-While-in-tPvP etc etc

The dc’s don’t account entirely for the dishonour buff, two dcs mid match won’t trigger it, so they would have had to have left games before, but still I don’t like seeing people getting locked out when they didn’t fully deserve it.

Actually I was online and in pvp. My connection was unstable so I was in hotjoin instead of tourneys. When I DCed I didn’t pvp until the game became stable again. Even if I was in tpvp, the DC is ONE dishonor stack. You need THREE to get the debuff and based upon the duration you gave us, one or two of those stacks didn’t happen yesterday.

If all those stacks were DCs your connection is still not stable enough to be playing tpvp. In the eyes of everyone else, DC, quitting, bathroom, all are the same.

Make it huge and glorious!

(Make my recipie stash super expensive too!)

Some items have the same name. Crafted vs non crafted low level white armor can be same stat same name but different. One can be salvaged. One cannot.

Sword dagger axe torch
Sword torch axe dagger

Both are better than bow builds for roaming in most any case. A (rare) example of bow being better is shortbow with x-x-10-x-20 with pet condi dmg and feline bleed on crit. Then you shortbow 4 for extra bleed stacks.

Bows generally have less control over condi / dmg application and apply less as well. Take ranger vs ranger. You cant time condis to empatic bond while the s/d a/t can stack 11 bleeds and 6s burn in 2s after empatic bond ticks. His condis will last and yours will not so you will die.

Power builda are generally garbage for roaming. You can only kill with luck or bad opponents.

Humanity would still win!

Reduce aoe by reducing the need for it.

1) Smiter’s boon minion necros in pvp.
2) Make normal ranger spirits untargetable (minus elite). Projectiles go through them (minus elite.)
3) Reduce synergy between stealth and phantasms for mesmer. (Stealth kills phantasms?)(Stealth and Phantasm traits moved to same line (one or other)).

Or some other means to remove the NEED for aoe. Atm in the meta you must have aoe to beat meta builds.

From the perspective of a cow, yes modern humans are evil.

Gw2 pvp isn’t free to play so no esports. There aren’t enough players.

Warrior terminator?

MM, phantasm mesmer, Bugged chaos storm mesmer?

Probably it is just required by law where you live. No tax for VA.

Better would be to teleport some player from random locations in Tyria – that’d be hilarious … the first time

This would be a great item! Limit it to people who are mutual friends though.

Guild leaders should just have access to a password key that needs to be passed to the API. Allow it to be changed and used by officers who are given the password.

This would be great for guild management.

Traps are only being used because the nerds to spirit ranger have finally made them less or as viable as trap ranger. Before the wasted 300 precision 30 critical dmg was too much compared to the huge survivability increase spirits gave.

My phone is running the spelling of everything. Deleted my other post because of the auto – incorrect.
