[PvP] Sharing a DH Burn Build

Trading a guarantee AoE Vulnerability on F1 procs for a single target Invuln on a 2 second CD sigil, is going backwards. The Immobilize + 1k damage doesn’t make up for the DPS lost by losing covers for your Burns.

F1 AOE (its line attack and not circle attack)???

. for stacking i find it more easy to stack vulnerability with the sigil which has 2 sec cd and not 17 sec cd

From the bolded text above, you had a question with the F1 activation on hit? It’s indeed a circle AoE attack. After 3 attack hits, it applies the condi in a 240 radius around the effected target.

A couple Guards feel the build doesn’t need that much cover conditions and feel the Cripple + Invulnerability is enough as long as you have Doom or Geomancy on the weapon sets. They’d swap to Carrion for that consistent 200 raw damage hit with the amulet’s increased power, which is fine.

But I don’t think removing Dulled Senses is something they would do.

i would take SD instead of DS with sigil of frailty on sword to put vulnerability.
this way you can burst nice with F2 immobilize

Not too sure how efficient that would be. The whole purpose of this particular burn build is Dulled Senses and Zealot’s Aggression. Without either two, you may as well go core burn burst. Regardless of Deadshot or Carrion, I’ve been told by a couple Guardians that the build is better than Core burn guardian.

Trading a guarantee AoE Vulnerability on F1 procs for a single target Invuln on a 2 second CD sigil, is going backwards. The Immobilize + 1k damage doesn’t make up for the DPS lost by losing covers for your Burns.

It could be a 1v1 alternative but that’s still no where near efficient enough to down your counter classes, power guard & war. Add an Electronic in the mixture in a mid skirmish fight and the change is inefficient

So tired of the matchmaking system

in PvP

Posted by: Saiyan.1704

Saiyan.1704

People complained about long queues, so system throws anything it can find in one match hence why matches are so wonky. It also doesn’t help that it doesn’t balance out teams – from my experience it works like this:
pool of 10, 10, 10, 8, 8, 8, 5, 4, 4, 4 players.
Player 10 queues up, the system looks for teammates in his range and forms team of 10, 10, 10, 8, 8.
Then it starts to look to form an enemy team so it takes whatever is left which is 8, 5, 4, 4, 4.
So we have 10, 10, 10, 8, 8 vs 8, 5, 4, 4, 4 – take a guess how those matches go. Yeah….

It has been more and more common because less and less players pvp due… to how wonky the system is.

100% agree. No clue why Anet doesn’t mix and match the two teams that’s already picked. Instead matchmaking makes a team like the example above and says, “there you go!”.

If you’ve played any MMO before even GW1 you know conditions are not supposed to burst at all,

If you played any MMO you should know that MMOs should be vertical progression with gear grinds.

wait

Precedent is not a rule. The idea that DoTs can’t burst is not a rule. Anet chose to be innovative rather than shoehorning everything into decades old tropes.

So… using a decade old balanced system is not ok because it’s better to be different for the sake of being different? Nice argument. You should apply for ANet lol.

All I’m saying is condi should have ramp up time, not bomb someone instantly.

The “Trinity” is not a confirmed 100% perfect “balanced system”. It’s just a concept class idea that most mmorpg games use because it’s Easy and everyone knows it.

What he is saying is the trinity system is just a concept idea. GW2’s system is indeed innovative because… how many games can you list who’s mmorpg balance system is just like GW2? Few, if any at all.

The point went way over your head bub.

What Would Bring Me Back To PvP

Long time pvper here and semi pro necromancer player zojoel for team asap zerg. cough 1 win away from pro league cough

I haven’t played the game in months but I still follow the scene and know that a lot of top tier and just plain old loyal players have quit the game. I just wanted to share my idea that may actually bring others and I back and make the game fun again.

The idea: I think it would be cool to have a staking system, where you can wager in game gold or gems and winner takes all whether its small 2v2 arenas or 1v1s or 5v5s whatever. Either this or bring back the automated tournaments that let you win gems!

See ya later.

I haven’t been a follower of the scene but from my understanding there never really were a big scene,were there? Most pvp players were casuals and then there were the few elite pvpers going about their days.

And there wasn’t really a real interested in any ESL leagues,were there?

How many top pvpers quit?

According to the forums, you’re allowed in the top 250 because the plethora of esports, pro, pvp players left. Because we had so many. I can only name a few on one hand but the forums can name more I guess.

Esports scene was HUGE like, we hit 6k+ viewers at one point. This is a bug deal.

High burn durations was worthless before the changes. Now we have certain builds that’s actually viable. Though power is arguably still better.

I suggest playing that 2nd or 3rd best pvp game after gw2,

  • Blade & Soul is “a better pvp game” but I could not get into it and bots can literally play for you on certain builds.
  • ESO’s pvp is limited to their WvW type gamemode. It has a better pve aspect though, imo.
  • WoW is the same ol’ game but you’ll keep on buying a new game every 3 months just to keep playing it. (Sub fee)

I’m waiting for Star Citizen. It’s like a Sims + Halo + COD + Eve Online got together and had a baby. It’s not an archaic, medieval mmorpg game like GW2 but the FPS and dog fights is their pvp system. And of course what ever else happens in the persistent pve/pvp universe.

Losing Streak

in PvP

Posted by: Saiyan.1704

Saiyan.1704

No, even matches do not guarantee wins. Still, logic suggests that you ought to win an even match roughly half the time.

I don’t intend to disagree just to disagree but statistics dictate that a 50% chance of anything happening means the same theoretical outcome can occur 100 times in a row.

The only way any statistic number is plausible is if the occurrence continues to happen, on till infinity. Stats 101.

How this relates to GW2… The longer the season, the higher the player pool, the better accuracy MMR is that’s tied to a player. More importantly; pertaining to you, a “losing streak” doesn’t matter because everyone has an equal opportunity to be top 250. Are you good enough to carry yourself?

Because matchmaking only has 2 skill levels: Gold T3/Plat/Lege divisions and Bronze/Silver/Gold T2 Divisions. What ever match you get, you’ll have a mix of either 2 of the above sets of players.

Legendary Backpack question

Posted by: Saiyan.1704

Saiyan.1704

Aren’t we dramatizing a bit with this “future of pvp”? I play pvp nearly every day and get my matches, high level pro players might have issues but your average Zef doesn’t lack competition in there.

Also gw1 had great spvp for all i hear and there was no ESL to it either. Leaving esl does not immediatly mean pvp in a game is dead. The money for whole e-sports promotion now can be put into development and maybe more frequent balance passes i hope.

Agreed. That last bit though I’m skeptical of because the rewards for the ESL were advertisement funds. They can just as easily cut the funds if they don’t meet the quota.

I doubt these funds will go towards Dev Creation, in-game Programming, League Development, etc. Sure they could always reallocate the funds but Advertisement (or those that relate) is a major core aspect for any product.

PvP may not receive any additional funding from another block of the company especially when the ESL tanked.

It’s because the entire group of high MMR players quit. There are less than 250 people left in this game with high MMR. So when you’re on the leaderboards and no one queues you get matched with people in silver and if your team is so bad that you can’t carry you lose 20 rating and if you win you get 5 rating, which is why no one is in Legendary.

Exactly this.

I lost 4 games and I went from rank 16 to 100. Lost 4 more and went to rank 200. It’s no wonder people who reach their desired rank no longer queue until decay lol.

[PvP] New Metabattle Build Published

in Guardian

Posted by: Saiyan.1704

Saiyan.1704

I had tried it, its a very solid build. You can sustain quite well compare to the Core Burn Build. In fact, better than the Core Burn Build. Nonetheless, I got into T3 Plat with Core Burn Build on last season. On this season im focusing on completing Ascension, didn’t care much bout rank as im not good with alternate class. xD

I will swap CoP to PoF, Focus to Shield, if there isn’t much perma-daze in opposite team. PoF is more like a tactical nuke, trolling while people are chasing me in and out, and combine with Shield5 for the push.

Sweet thanks for the info. Had no idea some one hit top 25 with a core burn build last season that’s pretty awesome.

Per the two amulets, Carrion and Deadshot, I did some stress testing.
Included takes acount of each respective sigils. Here’s my results.
Carrion Pros

  • More bursty approach when Doom and Geomancy procs.
  • Geomancy is an AoE hit that also triggers F1 procs.
  • Doom can reduce healing by half, if it stays on.
  • About 200 more damage on auto raw hits

Carrion Cons

  • Sigil “Burst” comes in 10s intervals.
  • It’s not a 100% guarantee hit when swapping so there is damage loss between swaps.
  • No additional condi coverages after swapping.
    ___________________________________

Deadshot Pros

  • 3/4s increase in all condi duration, yielding higher condi dps over time.
  • Condi coverages means Judge’s & Torch#4 wont get cleansed, as well as any F1 procs (seen in duel fights after viewing condi cleanse videos)
  • More consistent condi damages throughout the fight

Deadshot Cons

  • 200 dmg loss on auto hits; crit dmgs on par with carrion.
  • Not as bursty when sigs proc

I virtually didn’t notice any performance gain or loss between the two amulets; rather, the two are situational. I would use Carrion in group fights for Geomancy procs and Deadshot in 1v1’s for additional condi coverages.

If anyone else have opinions about the two amulets please post here!

Hey guys for the record the build itself is a better build than the Core Burst Burning and DH Burn Burst builds that’s currently on Metabattle. I believe it deserves at least a ’’Good’’ rating in comparison to those builds.

I don’t think those burn builds can reach top 20 but please let me know if some one is currently around with that rank with said builds.

I’ve been suggested to look into Carrion + Geo/Doom vs the current Deadshot + Torm/Earth.

  • Reasoning: Not needing that many condi coverages and can improve damages with Carrion & Geo.

This is coming from another Top 20 EU player so I’m going to stress test the two amulets in a dueling server later.

Good to see you trying to help people out. GL with your build. I’ll check it out later

Thanks bud.

I have noticed another Guardian not able to sustain properly or win certain 1v1 fights. If it becomes problematic i’ll try making a tutorial video with me commentating.

How about this one ? I expect significant more damage. Yes it sacrifices healing from traited meditations which is a lot but offence is often the better defence.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vVAQRAsd7fnkICFdiNDBeDBEEhF/hyKAqg6MLJqwMUe9H/2H-TphAABbcQA4+IAMWZAr2fYiHAAAnAAA

That build has extremely low sustains, its offense will never make up for it. Go against any decent Thief or Mesmer’s CC and you’ll get demolished before you’re able to deplete your abilities.

Remember, the idea of the build is to Survive as long as possible. If you want to increase your damages then you can trade a Medi for PF.

Saiyan.1704

Your game’s pvp is absolute garbage. I have never wanted to pull my hair out over a games pvp as much as I do with this one. I have played pure f2p games that are more balanced then what this game has.

Issues:
1) You have to much spammable CC with no diminishing returns. You have blinds, immobolize, stuns, daze, launched, knockbacks. Ok, you get the point. This should never happen in a pvp game as there are way to many reasons for a player to take their hands off the keyboard. The worst part is there are classes with burst potential who have access to all of these. That is not balance, there is no high risk high reward set in place.

2) Passive procs. Get rid of these, make the player have to think about what they do, not have things happen for them.

3) Give better build diversity, buff the dead skills, specifically the ones that focus on giving teammates boons and getting rid of there conditions. This game should focus on teamplay, not being selfish hog 1 man army builds.

4) Redesign blocks, and what is blocked by terrain. No class should be blocked for more then 3seconds + having access to any for of CC. Reward them for performing timed Evasion + knowing when to use a block instead.

5) Fix conditions or offer better counter play. They deal damage to quickly and if a team drops their conditions on you its basically game over unless you have cures. But the potential of them being restacked on you is high so theyl be back on you while you suffer long cooldowns for cures. Offer dedicated condition clearing builds for teamplay, a possible solution.

6) Aoe Circles, Lower the radius on them. Dropping circles on a point should not go rewarded. Especially given that a lot of the circles take up the entire conquest zone.

I posted this a long time ago and most of the respond is learn to dodge or evade? yeah good luck on dodging and evading those 4 to 5 AoE circles and CC

If you’re not standing in the AoE circle then then there’s no need to dodge.

Let’s not compare apples to oranges and stay within the mmorpg genre.

Short and sweet, OP, GW2 pvp may not be your cup of tea. I’ve ended up in the top two divisions each season since s2. Yup, including s2 when DH wasn’t at their best of spots. What I’ve learned is, GW2 is only as hard as you let it be. If you let it get to you then take a break, play Overwatch, or CS or Quake beta then come back hopefully refreshed.

I’m not saying their matchmaking is not a 4 out of 10 quality, or that placements doesn’t need an overhaul, or that War doesn’t need to be removed from God tier, or that passives doesn’t need to be lessened because I’m in agreement. Items like these will always come up and they always needing improvement.

What I’m curious is, how are you dying to stuns, blocks, and red circles on point? Maybe it’s easier for me because I play a Guardian but those items there that you mentioned is not exactly on my top 5 list of items that needs fixing.

Woops kinda forgot about this thread so I’ll have to bump it.

Why s guard runes better with core guard rather than dh?

Core guardian already has a base burn duration increase of 100%. So having 6s worth of F1 burn proc activations when using Bal runes is a bit overkill. It’s nice if it never gets cleansed but it almost always will.

The next thing I look at from an amulet is damages. Bal’s 175 condi power from Bals is nice but we’re better off having a higher burst, so an amulet like Rune of the Undead would be better.

Guardian runes gives us a Burn on Block. From Aegis applications, that’s at least 5 BoB activations we can get in a single fight. Guard runes offers another great “burst” when blocking multiple attacks during Shelter. The damages given is potentially higher than Undead runes.

Dragonhunter Has a lower burn duration base but the elite spec offers a lot more self support and condi coverages for your burns. Due to it’s low F1 duration burn proc, we can make great usages of Balthazar runes.

The DH burn build can be found here.

What everyone above said. Cele was so problematic, it became the definition of power creep. The only thing it will bring to the table is more issues.

The irony, the implementation of class specific dailies was the same time Anet was improving matchmaking. I don’t know why they insist on making the job tougher on themselves…

Matchmaking picked the wrong player?

Posted by: Saiyan.1704

It was shown during last season that matchmaking builds up teams a bit unevenly, giving sometimes rather clear advantage to one of them and apparently it does that way more often than you’d think. Anet did reply to the thread as well, if I remember correctly the official response was that they are looking into it. In the meantime, all you can really do is pray that you either get equal enough teams or end up in the favored team.

If this happens as often as you say it does, does that mean these bad quality matches have more to do with this glitch/bug/issue, rather than the often “low population” excuse?

How will the update affect match-making?

in PvP

Posted by: Saiyan.1704

This kinda update should happen after season – not in the middle of season. If works bad or it buged it will ruin many people’s raiting. Anet shouldn’t experiment on players when season is on.

You are defending the integrity of a system that has no integrity. And during seasons is when they should experiment as people play even less in the off season. If they have something they think is a good addition they should just put it in as soon as possible as far as I am concerned.

I agree. It’s a huge waste of time waiting 2-3 months for a new matchmaking change. Rather see them do tweaks during the season to implement change immediately.

I’m just curious about this Matchmaking player pick here… here’s the scenario.

By chance (low population) me and my bud got placed on the same team without duo queuing together. So that’s fine. When we got done we went back to queueing solo – he was perhaps a few seconds ahead of me but we both waited at least a couple minutes before we got a queue pop.

Why did Matchmaking prefer my buddy’s rank 250’ish to fight against sbooM aka Darek who’s mmr is 1785 in the below pic? My mmr is clearly around that level yet Matchmaking did not choose me against him and his team.

My game was a blow-out favoring me, 502108.
My bud’s game was a blow-out in sbooM favor, 500139

I get there’s a low population so matchmaking is grabbing players as fast as possible… but we were both waiting for a couple minutes where I got a game seconds after he did.

This begs my next question. If another player queues before me at any given time, does that person have “seniority” for matchmaking to look first, before looking at me, rather than something that’s done simultaneous? So by happenstance Matchmaking said “last call” and my buddy was the one, even though I was in the queue pool as well?

…Still think this would be a cool idea

It is, if it was realistically possible.

Ideas is definitely what the community needs but everything in this thread has all been thought of before. The initial jump-start threads is what made Anet change their individual +5 kill point system that the game had since launch. The whole “individual skill measurement” thing is just too intricate to implement effectively.

Overwatch is considered a more simplified game with static builds, yet it’s still a game made up of a win/lose system just like GW2 because they can’t calculate “individual skill” without playing lots and lots of games. It’s matchmaking is just eons better because >insert numerous reasons<.

Guys, who the kitten fuuccking cares? Kratos sucks, as does the entirety of NA pvp. I mean, don’t even get me started on the game itself lacking any sort of competitive relevance XD. Oh man, 5 bucks says this doesn’t get deleted for at least 5 minutes. Counting now lads.

The game itself wasn’t meant to be built from the ground up with Competitive PvP in mind. No MMORPG does; GW2 is no exception.

You’re right though there’s numerous faults with the game’s PvP and then some, but the few of us here still care about it and have stuck around (albeit off and on) since launch. I still sit back and have fun playing the game while pushing; hoping, the devs and players are a little better each season.

So i’m not going to let this ego-driven character off the hook, a player who supposedly represents “top tier pvp”, when he’s been using Alts to defend his very own forum posts… it’s just sad, assuming the accusations are true.

btw, I lost -17 points and looked up the leaderboards. Now That’s funny.

Why didn't you all just boycott S6?

I’m all geared up so I don’t PvP for rewards and I don’t boycott the only decent PvP game there is (hey, For Honor got boring).

My biggest gripe are,

  • Placements – It can be improved.
  • Matchmaking – It really NEEDS improving.
  • Rewards – I guess this makes the list, idk.
