Or what about 5 way matches :O

Eliminate downed state altogether.

Berserker gear is highly viable for elementalists in WvW, but your traits will be focused more into Water and Arcana, with no focus at all in Fire or Air.

what about 2 points in air for fury and swiftness on aura?

If you’re D/D, then yeah, 0/2/0/6/6 or 0/2/2/6/4 works. You only have 1 aura on staff though, and it’s not even that useful considering how situational it is.

Yes, my bad! I’m just so used to playing with dd I forget staff even exists!

I’m not familiar with staff builds too well, but I usually use 0/5/0/3/6.

No, rangers are overpowered… Just sit back and watch:

That guy never posts a build and hasn’t done a video since the patch… Hmmm….

He wasn’t a serious roamer. I believe he made that vid only to troll.

join all the land masses and remove the auto cannons. problems solved

Azreell.1568:

Reverence.6915:

All classes have their role in WvW. Even certain ranger builds are highly viable.

Best overall is guardian, followed by elementalist. Both are highly flexible in terms of play style.

Guardian roamers are really underestimated.

That’s because roaming is not only having the ability to fight and win when required but also to be able to flee a fight when you can’t win or out numbered.

Thus why so many classes are actually not good at roaming. The ability to break combat for a roaming class is more powerful then the ability to kill on one.

So true. I used to be an ele roamer, but always had a hard time against necros, so I made one. Necromancers are truly awesome in 1v1/x, but I get so frustrated when I get zerged because I can never disengage.

sinject.4607:

Shanks R Us.2489:

Engineer for roaming and 1vX. Sure, you could roll a thief, but do you really want to have to rely on broken mechanics to win fights? If you’re new/bad at the game, go thief. If you want a challenge that pays off, roll an engi. See video link in sig for motivation.

Also, I can’t tell you from experience because I mostly only solo roam, but engineers are extremely versatile & can do just about anything you gear/trait them to.

LOL

you do realize condi engineer is the most broken thing in the game right?

People say that about condi necro, but engi has way more mobility/boons/cleanses, so engi is better for 1vx

They should make a “Destroy all Arrow Carts in a 10k radius” trap.

That is something I would support. Anything that makes fights more fair.

As well a “destroy omega golem in 3 seconds” trap. Brainless siege.

Removing ACs and golems would be better. I would not want people to spend 10s of gold on golems to see them disappear in a second. Golems are only used to counter ACs, so removing ACs would solve the problem.

Warrior, guardian or ele for zergs. Necro, mesmer and theif for solo.

Only WvW player complains about PvE players.
Only WvW player will laugh at you for playing ranger.
Only WvW player will blame you for using weapon and build you like, rather than the most effective in the current meta (aka hammerdins, staff guardian etc).

Only a WvW player would think that ^guy is a PVE’r

If another EU powerhouse comes over to NA it is JQ’s time to implode. RG made SoS implode, ZDs made SoR implode and JQ has been in t1 for far too long anyway.

Unless of course, such a group wanted good fights and came over to JQ to balance T1’s EU(??)?

Going to JQ would be stupid because BG are the underdogs right?

Zikory.6871:

Zeke Azul Falcon.5176:

wow spoken like a true JQQ, so tell me again how much did you guys pay for MERC and some other guilds? are those purchases worth it?

Lol, I’m not even in your match-up. I just like trolling BG because they qq at the drop of a hat. So sensitive oh so sensitive, if I asked you when are ZD’s coming back you would probably have a heart attack

I doubt BG would have a issue either way, it was a pleasure having ZDs, great group of people.

On the other hand JQ might have a aneurysm.

If another EU powerhouse comes over to NA it is JQ’s time to implode. RG made SoS implode, ZDs made SoR implode and JQ has been in t1 for far too long anyway.

JQ playing the under dog

Good choice this week, SoS. Remember JQ made you implode over a year ago!

Strongest guild to ever play this game would be VoTF.

applied fortitude, applied strength, ascended weapons, ascended armor, ascended trinkets, stacking sigils, permanant bonus sigils, etc Balance what?

Straegen.2938:

Most fun open world PvP I have ever had is in GW2 and still going strong almost 3 years later. Could it be better absolutely, but for a game with no monthly fee they push out a massive amount of content on a regular basis. Sure it is mostly PvE and WvW surface changes but it isn’t like they haven’t tried larger changes (ruins, EotM, Wxp, etc).

The thing to remember here is that the game is three years old… few games hold players attention beyond 100 hours. Even fewer beyond a thousand.

GW2 WvW interest continues because they quite frankly have no viable competition. The latest PvP title making headlines? Titanfall with it’s 6v6 format.

You can’t find 80v80v80 in a well executed and immersive environment anywhere.
Because of that, ANet is resting on it’s laurels with small fixes and updates that most people did not desire.

A few big changes to this game mode will inject more life and interest into GW2 than a hundred Scarlet episodes or even new PvE zones (though those would be great too).

1. Get rid of Bloodlust. Make all stomps worth a point, make every individual contribution count.

2. Have ruins offer unique buffs with limited uses. Example: Capture Temple of Lost Prayers, up to 5 players can get +15% swiftness buff for 10 minutes; recharges in 5 min cooldown, even on recapture.

3. Guild Commander Tag. Been asked for repeatedly. Make it yellow and only visible to the guild.

4. Borderland map redesign. EBG has a natural flow to it. It works great for the 3-way combat. The Borderland map does not have an organic flow and has way too much empty space.
If the resources are not there for a full redesign, I suggest two lesser changes. Make the Skritt and Centaur camps worth something. Example: Capturing the Skritt puts up a blockade that prevents access to the North camp (at the north camp switchback).
Second change, get rid of garrison water gate. The garrison should be the most easily defended structure after the North camp. Four gates plus wall on the North side are more than enough access points.

I don’t know what server you’re on but here in T1 Bloodlust adds strategic value and all servers are vying for control of it. It’s not uncommon for 5-10 man and a lot of times even larger havoc groups to be battling it out for control of ruins while the main zerg takes objectives. We also have enough dedicated people and our militia generally is smart enough to stomp people, even in the middle of zergs when we have it.

It would be nice if bloodlust also gave us points, not only bonus to stats. Like 1 point per BL site every 10 seconds would make small man groups very valuable.

There needs to be some way to encourage smaller scale battles. Up to 8 a side would be fun. Anything more than that and individual skill is not as important.

Is there any online build editor available yet? Which has updated builds, etc

The new dhuumfire allows me to use full dire instead of rabid

LordByron.8369:

Fuzzion.2504:

Aye. the nerfs are hitting the classic wvw dnd ele in the area it hurts. Yeah individually there are numerous small nerfs and when added they hurt.

Classic…. why you Always refer to ANY DD as classic

I m running 30/15/0/15/10 or 0/20/0/20/30 or 0/30/0/20/20 is it classic?

I don t think that a DD bunker is anyway useful in WWW and that is the only thing you can do.

0/10/0/30/30 is classic

Jerus.4350:

Fear the Jade Coast, or wait, is it Tarnished Quarry?

It was always tarnished quarry. Tarnished with thousands of soldiers ready to lose the tournament only to see BG not win it either.

Oh well, good thing I rerolled to a condi necro

This is a troll post right? SG recruits clickers? And of all the class to play as a clicker, you choose ele??

How did JQ get inside TC’s garri to defend it?

Anet should close a number of the borderlands depending on the size of the WvW population during off hours.

CuddleStrike.8215:

I kind of have to agree….. I miss these forums… and also the lack of troll accounts. =/

Although I hardly ever visit gw2wvw.net, I haven’t seen any of your score updates. Do you not use it anymore?

I like that sigil! 70% chance of an abnormal attack? :O

Way to derail a thread, rooster.

This is the beginning of SoR’s rebuilding process. Good luck with it!

I would love to see dueling part of this game, but not part of spvp. I would prefer using my pve build as it it more diverse.

Tricare.2946:

Seigfried.5938:

Ever heard of RIOT? I’m sure they can kick your kitten all the way to mars. Don’t think you are great because of beating SoS because they are one of, if not the least skillful server on average in the first 4 tiers.

Those RIOT guys weren’t any good in WvW from what I remember fighting them.

Also, saying how 1 guild could kick your butt is pretty pathetic. Trying to mooch off another guilds achievements is sad and pretty childish as saying “my dad could beat up your dad!”

I only said that because he basically generalized everyone in the tier when there are all types of people. Some roam, some zerg, some scout, etc.

Natronix.9827:

Lol at the T1 tears.

Do you guys think you’re a speacial snowflake because you optimaze your PPT play? We know what you guys do, and its extremely boring.

You dont just blob with baddies, you:
- Have mutiple 5 man ganking squads around bloodlust to cap and secure it, because this will get you loads of score from the constant fighting
-Have players willing to sit on towers/keep to scout, siege up and shoot anything that passes by
-Escort yaks en masse, play like a turttle most of the time
- If an open field fight is too difficult, set up siege
- “Map politics” lol

Rinse an repeat on all maps, ta da. Oh and when it gets “competitive” you know its time to:
-Siege grief
-Spy other teams voice comms or send alt acct
-Buy guilds for x time zone.
-Set up truces with another server that at the end you’ll the one taking more advantage

Instead of all that kitten you could be having fun just forgetting about the scoreboard and focus more on getting better at using your own character, syncronizing with your team. But nah winning matches is top leet skill amirite

If you want to increase your skill go spvp, not running around in a group of 25 players with 3k+ armor and 17k HP. There is almost equally no skill in running around hitting 111111111 and the occasional 2-5 to blobbing in a group of 50. If you really want to test your skill in wvw, solo roam around the ruins and take on superior numbers.

I have seen this attitude before from SoR. A bunch of arrogant twits who think only what they do is skillful and look at their state now.

Ever heard of RIOT? I’m sure they can kick your kitten all the way to mars. Don’t think you are great because of beating SoS because they are one of, if not the least skillful server on average in the first 4 tiers.

what happened to your love affair with Badgate?

There was never one with badgate. With Blackgate, however, It is still strong. But I’m an Eu player so I decided to try out a mid tier Eu server. I’m still rooting for BG, though!

P.S. waiting for a video rebuttal from Cuddlepie soon :P

Thank you for your reply. I will submit a ticket.

Reverence.6915:

S1 BG queues were insane, and we had over 500 people on our teamspeak at any given time (this season has dropped quite a bit due to recent teamspeak issues and less coverage overall, but we still get average 250 online 24/7, more during NA, less during Oceanic). I doubt Vizunah could’ve competed.

what do you mean by “queues were insane” ?

on SFR S2 start we had 250+ EBG queue, 150+ on each of the 3 borders and even 20+ on Obsidian

more than that ?

It’s hard to believe gandara had worse ques than the #1 server.

Title says most of it. I don’t know when I sold the dagger to the vendor, but is there any way to get it back? I spent a lot of time and gold to craft it. I don’t get to play much these days, so i don’t know when I will be able to craft a replacement.

I wish all classes had the initiative system. Get rid of cool downs! Don’t argue that theifs are the most squishy class in the game and that is why they dont have cool downs with that level of evasion, because we all know elementalists are the squishiest class, without even stealth.

Good to see Blackgate going strong! When it comes to map politics and server organization, JQ and TC are miles behind. BG does so well because of the hardwork of server leaders behind the scenes who don’t get much, if any, credit for all the time they put in. Seeing JQ in 3rd makes me more happy

Facet.5914:

It’s possible that I’m not fully up to date with the latest results, but as far as I knew [EP] only lost to [ST]. If that is accurate then the only conclusion that can be drawn is that the top GvG guild in the game atm is EU. Which is a conclusion that pertains to a single guild, not a group of “top guilds.” If my knowledge of the results is indeed outdated then I apologize, I get all of that information 2nd-hand or later.

I would be interested to hear observations and comparisons from [EP] reps, since they are the only group that has recently faced both regions. Certainly if they felt a pattern that would carry a lot of weight.

EP lost to ST, DISS and iNK. That’s three EU guilds.

Seigfried.5938:

NA servers have better coverage

You are basing this on T1-2 NA versus T4 in EU.
Try playing in T3 or lower in NA then compare it to EU (all tiers). EU has far better coverage overall.

I’ve played in T4 NA too. The ratings in Eu are much closer, which suggests the servers have relatively equal off hour coverage or equally small off hour coverage.
