Guild Wars 2

Meh, awesome difficult question
Would split in in 3 nomination categories

Best Smallscale: Buka

Best WvW (or something like Raid, GvG, …): IRON

Lifetime Award: Red Guard

/sign Da Vite!
I would call the relationship and the similarities of Miller and Roamadon … mmm … unexistant, tbh except the language

I’m a roamer, so I don’t really know whats going on and tbh, it doesn’t bother me

But personally for me, I wouldn’t really apreciate it, doesn’t have to do something with sportsmanship, fairplay and respect

tichai.4351:

It’s been an ‘interesting’ weekend so far on GH borderland. AM and MS purposely NOT engaging each other.

don’t rly know, what you’ve seen, but we(Miller) know, that we are focus-target of Aba and we’ll do our best to resist – just like the hill yesterday, with a lovely wayoint and a garri on Aba’s home.
Nice work guys and girls!

AgentChaos.4932:

plenty of roamadon action

Epic! made my day!

Thx to Gunnies for some nice fights when roaming arround and some really nice respectfull actions, when /waveing and don´t getting attacked – Thumbs up!

Thanks for some nice fights last eve/night on the BL´s, was a pleasure in a quite mixed up matchup.

Sry to the UW-Necro, which I stomped near Refuge on FSP-Bl´s after a nice 1on1-fight, was completely brainafk when I was stomping you – one more time /bow

gl, hf and dig in

Nah Bao, mate, WvW is open World PvP.

It´s a matter of fact, that everybody is allowed to play WvW as he/she likes, you can go support an I can go DMG, every way is allowed – and thats fine!

Also it´s a matter of fact that, let me call them offensive roamers/smallscalers are able to generate a bunch of points for the server in the matchup.

And last, but not least, Miller lacks of offensive and organised roamers, which are able to generate those points by stomping under bloodlust. I can see roamers cruising arround every eve/night, but they are mostly soloing arround or meet at some points, more or less „accidentially“

Guards can do DMG properly, not as much as other professions and not really ranged, but in melee distance a guard could be a very good DD.

Thanks for some few, but quite nice fights yesterday eve on UW´s and FSP´s BL.
Was quite some fun roaming arround!

/sign Boonprot, there´s no significant cleanse (didn´t really check it). Maybe it works in Zoneblobbs, but in every outmanned, equal situation (zerging) or if you get hit by a guildraid there won´t be a big chance to survive.

As said, power is much too low, except spamming Staff-Autohit as lootmachine

Beside the fact, that you need 70 charged quarz christals (= 1750 quarz christals and 70 days of chargin) I think you can have a way more better build by going celestial armor and no celestial trinkets and weapons – depends on the focus your build should have.
Also you can mix celestial and other armor, to get a massive better build, than going full celestial.

Just try in the planer and look at the outcome

But if its viable for you, why not …

nvm, didn´t take it the bad way
Matchup is done, next one may be possibly better

As written … more or less
In your individuall PoV of high class roaming you may be absolutely (and sadly for you) right, in a more global PoV imo it was a quite good matchup

gg and thx for the nice matchup, with more or less everything a WvWer likes.
Pretty nice job from Vizu, keep going guys!

Sadly we were too squishy as we faced Scnd the only time this week, but it was the best clash we had in this matchup.

Dig in, hf and gl in the next matchups

Was awesome to watch some Asura boxing fights inside SFR´s eastern tower and pushing out when ER or SFR attacked the tower 5 or 6 times.

So much laughter, f***ing awesome

Shadow.9641:

wiped our great and fast opponents (Runes of the Traveler seem to be some kind of standard gear of Auguries and Baruchs)

Not in guild loadouts (in which to my knowledge Soldier runes are a lot more common, whereas AoE swiftness is provided by air fields and war horns) but for some clases in roaming and soloing Traveler runes are almost the only option to prevent being kitted to death.

I allready know which runes are needed for a gamingstyle – or where you kidding me

To explain …
The was only a little portion of sarcasm in my post, cause I´ve seen blobbs and guild groups runnnig away from definitely smaller, but clearly, ready forces since reset.

And my post stood in the context to maeggles post up above

narf, so kitten right maeggle

Had some nice “Sparta”-Scenes and also good fights yesterday on AR,BB and Home – only with our Publics, cause it wasn´t possible yesterday to raid as guild by those freaking queues – sometimes got wiped by enormous numbers of enemies, but also (a quite feeling of mostly) wiped our great and fast opponents (Runes of the Traveler seem to be some kind of standard gear of Auguries and Baruchs)

Sooo … here´s your comment, mate

I think nobody will negotiate your points (except maybe some parts of point III arround the new map), cause they are the painfull truth.

Imho the whole thing arround living story in W3 caused all the rumors here arround in the forums and ingame
If ANet didn´t implement LS in W3 by spamming AP für the season, there won´t be such anoying lag, there won´t be queues, bla bla … once more time LS is a beat for W3. I personally think LS isn´t a bad thing, but it was too often a badbeat for W3.

Tbh, ANet tried to get people in W3 and tried to give us alltime W3ers something new, which was a very good step, but the way went absolutely wrong, cause this takes all the AP-horny guys into W3 and now everybody can see, what happens – qq all arround, understandable qq

The season its self isn´t the prob, but how it got implemented (and the things arround the season – named above) was absolutely b*llkitten – sry for the explicit wording

Maybe it could be a good step for ANet to think, on the one hand a bit more globally about the outcome of their new game content and on the other hand a bit more specific about the „demands“ of the different 3 main game-contents (PvE, PvP and W3) and how this works all together.

It´s a matter of fact, that there are really allways rumors, if some content for a specific playstyle gets implemented, but to keep an eye on the global outcome is a must – but that would be paradise

Ot to OP: Greez to all the old friends on Miller

Good start at all …

Gl, hf and dig in

Retaaaa, help! I´ll have an awesome week with raids leaded in perfect “sarcasm” spanish – omg, HE swore it

Shout out to GH! Was a pleasure to fight you and I´ll miss you guys.
All the best in Silver League, dig in and have a bunch of fun

Also all the best to Vizuna, was one of the best weeks, I´ve fought you.
All the best to you in Gold League – gl, hf

ye, you might be right ZenJii

But a lot of experienced Guilds transfered to the Silverleague – at the moment it´s imho not really rateable, what hapens there and how the evolution will go on there

Beware of the Kodashie-Scorp, his sting is also deadly

We´ll start in Gold-League, not the best or most attractive possibility, but … who cares

Kodash will do it´s best – as every time – no matter if we´re winning or not

Spartaaaaa … ehm … Gondooor … meh … Kodaaaash

Came in lately yesterday, just got one fight against [Fury] northwestern of garri – nice one!

Also had some nice clashes, after our raid ended, in bay against Gunners and Vizus.

Grats according to the site, looks awesome!

Hehe, “SFR-Monster” sounds great, made me laugh!

All the best for your training and practicing, I think Vizu is on a good way, to “satisfy” all kind of enemie-playstyles and to avoid the weekly, sooo boring complaining

meh , ye, saturday was awesome just-for-fun zerging arround! Thinkin´ of it, brings the sunday-morning-headake back
How did you do on Sunday, Zumy?

Tolerance and Respect are things, that, sadly, not often take place in mmo´s, sad but true.

EDIT:
agree, that Vizu overall got better than arround 8 weeks before, change takes time and sometimes gets a little backbeat, but I think Vizu sells its skinns under the price (not only in the sight of a guild based gamer, also in the sight of a lucky former more or less pug)

Sun Tzu not, but some others, with opposite methaphors (maybe take a look at “Hagakure”)

Venting is often wrong compared to whining, but who cares, counting peas or letters arround a game doesn´t really make sence, it only costs time and fun.
So if the post wasn´t adressed to me, we should take a glass of something cooled tonight in TS “yummy-n-cheers”

Zumy, mate, I don´t whine about “defending” a structure, defending it with the best possible force is absolutely understandable – the way of defending is what I can´t understand (but this doesn´t take me to complaining, whining, …)

It´s really not understandable for me (and that hits not only Vizu), that a clearly stronger force hides in a tower/camp/siege and doesn´t make a push to prevent the enemy to build a critical force for the own forces .
I personally can´t see a strategic or tactic reason for this – but maybe I´m just to nearsighted

Fighting outmanned is also not a problem, it´s a challenge “evil grin”

True, 60-80 hiding in our Spawntower on their BL, when arround 40 of us are in front of the tower.
Since Reset I thought Vizu did a little, mini-winni, Change, but yesterday they proved that this was wrong.

But we had nice outmanned fights (1:1.5 or 1:2) against MoS arround and inside bay yesterday, some wipes for us and some for them

@ Kenji
My feedback to your build
Skills: Signet of Resolve:
This signet gets to often interrrupted in the frontline – choose „Shelter“, which blocks also

Skills: Save yourselves
Could be a oneshot death to you, when you try to get the conditions off of your buddies – choose „Judges Invention“ to jump your enemies or „Wall of Reflection“ which upscales with your crit DMG.

Traits: Radiance – Justice is blind
I´ve tested this the last days and imho the -5 in Virtues aren´t worth of it, I felt the cd on VoJ is too long, to switch this traits – put the 5 Points in Virtues and take the +25% retaliation duration

Traits: Valor – Purity
Viable way – as cleanse you can also use „Pure of Voice“. An alternative, which can be helpfull for you and your buddies is „Strength in Numbers“, which gives you infight(!!) additional 150 toughness and pushes your precision in combination with „Retributive Armor“

Sigills:
I´m using the superior Sigills of Stamina, cause if you´re incing an enemy blobb you need to dodge often and the heal by dodge is awesome.

Reminder of a Vizuny-Com last eve:
Never! NEVER EVER set a more or less drunken Kodash Horde free on our BL.
They will build 21 (??) Golems, cheer “Cheers” on every keep they take and devastate our golden homeland.

Thanks to every Kodashie which took a part of this freaking awesome fun event yesterday! “headake”

Mooooaaaaarrrrrr … Golems, Keeps, Lootbags, Laughters, ….

Aurellian is quite right, specify which type of content you´ll go, then you will get more helpfull answeres (and maybe more friendly „giving Aurellian a hug“)

Hope you´re fine Aurellian, good old mate, most imba PvE-Zerker-Guard-EU

Pretty good eve on AG´s BL yesterday!

Lots of fights, mainly facing publics outnumbered, less facing guilds (just 1 or 2) in quite even numbers.
Sadly we couldn´t get AG´s garri in the end, but who cares, was just try for fun

Was a nice matchup! Dig in

hehe, the short threeway on the northern meadow of the tower was nice. Jades got smashed between our guys and your guys, but in the end we weren´t enough to counter your jump – but enough to send a lot of the Jades back to spawn.

meh … listens nice, that you didn´t get the garri in the end “evil grin”

Amelia Knox.9362:

D
Barbecue event? what are you talking i don’t understand?

“Barbecue event” was a joke, cause you were camping in the western tower of the Kodash-BL arround 30min or more(?), trebbing our garri, one time jumping the passing by Jade-Mass, defendig against our attacks and taking down our counter-trebs.

Did Dawn have a Barbecue-Event in our western Tower last eve, or something like this?

Camping in the tower with the whole crew and jumping the massive Jadeblobb or defending the tower against our Kodash-Cloud-Attacks.
Nice tactic, but a little bit boring, or not?

We wanted to get your barbecue, your beer and the tower, to get our garri more save

hey iorlas, I´m not complaining, that ya outnumbered us (an tbh, nobody in the ts-channel did this yesterday).
And … I can´t see anyone from Dzago complaining, so …
To be outnumbered is a challenge and not something to complain

I also don´t like hackers and my personal opinion is, that such guys should get their penalties, but you´re denouncing a whole server for something one person did – that misfits

Anyway … hopefully you understand it now the right way

Outnumbering … hehe, made my day dude
What about your numbers last night arround 23.00 CEST on your home, as you attacked Hills from North and South?

Everybody gets outnumbered some times and everybody has to live with that. Just think about stopping complaining mate, if your forces also outnumber another server at another time.

@ the 2 LOL-Thieves from UW:
Next time we´ll have some fun, yesterday hill was a bit more important

Nice opening night for our little crew! The Bushwackers want to thank everybody for the fights

Especially to the Gunny- and Dzago-Zergs, was awesome funny to watch ya guys fighting and flipping refuge same time^^
Respect to the Gunnies for the discipline, standing stacked not more than 5 steps away from the tapp-circle and keeping Dzagos in focus – nice one!

GG

haha, Mafius, great one made my day!
/bow, like such good jokes and people with humor!

I also quite like this matchup, cause helps farming for the ascended weapon, anyway better than grinding arround somewhere

Just totally sign, Milton

We were outnumbered clearly (not so clearly as other times, but anyhow clearly) and we wiped those Vizu´s near Arah after they ran away first and then turned arround to steamroll us; on the Island and just before in bay (would have taken another end, if SFR didn´t join to a threeway)

Can´t really imagine, what kind of “strategy” stands behind such proceedings, if somebody has the bigger manpower and mostly the better strategic position

But … I don´t wanna really waste time with such thinkings, do it this way Vizu´s, brings us a lot of bags, fun, motivation and finally it raises the morale

hehe, ye, the threeway between Mill und Hills on our Home was awesome (and only a little laggy “sarcasm”)

The whining here and on the german forums from our Kodashies ist sooo boring! Complaining on non-smallscaling, on enemie blobbing and lags caused by the enemies.

Every single gamer gets hit by this awefull things, but complaining arround that the other servers are sooo bad doesn´t change anything – it takes only the own fun on gaming to the graveyard

Pheppo.9286:

Piken-blob size is ridiculous and makes the game un-enjoyable for everyone with 24/7 skill lag, Seriously is there any need to run around with the whole server like that?

hehe … didn´t I ??
Honestly I´ve written the name wrong … so sorry

Hey Phebbo, nice quote, but ya should keep an eye on reality.

If you mean the situation between the northern hills camp and hills, then you have to keep in mind, that this was a partly threeway, cause Kodash was also there.
We were arround 50 and you from TU, VU, …? And the additional Kodashies (don´t have an Idea how much they were)?

Lags and skilldelays in a such threeway are (sadly) normal, but reduced to the endeffect – running a second time let us kick some …

So … never mind, calm down and let´s have a good time in the end of this matchup, with mainly good fights and satifaction for every kind of w3-playing-style

Greez [Scnd]
Hehe, looks like this matchup is a Showdown of the best GvG-Guilds

€: Great vid of a very nice moment – that´s Piken!

Shout out to [SFRJ]´s xerulle! Very nice job last night.
Was an annoying cat and mice hopping arround with RS, but over all was quite funny

I´m runnin this build quite a few days and its pretty good in roaming and zerging (in zerging keep an eye on the awfull red circles on the ground and keep stability always on cd)
It works very good and is quite amazing if you have played healway, supporter and tank since beta), imo not for solo-roaming but in groups it works awesome

exotic version

ascended version

According to your build-suggestions (personal fiew-no offence):
Build 1 is quite Tanky and offers good burst, but the sentinel-parts a way too expensive, cause you can´t craft them on your own (just drops from mobs) and buy them at TP.
But you only have burst as damage, crit is too low

Build 2 is glassy as hell and my experiences in w3 with glassy builds is awful, no matter if zerg or roaming

Build 3 is also much to glassy (lot of armor doesn´t safe your life with no vita) and is extraordinary to low in damage.

I´m atm running a dmg-build for roaming (with guild) and zerging, which is for me very viable. Only prob is popping up in narrow points, where enemy concentrates AOE-dmg, stuns, …, at this points it´s quity risky to push.

A more safer way is this build, good health (plus AH) and medium dmg (mostly out of crit)

ye, especially the fight at hill in the screens was awesome! 10min (?) of permanent pushes, kiting, rezzing, … kittening awesome!
