Guild Wars 2

Do people seriously think this is a legitimate tactic? All those walls exist for a reason, and so does the portal block.

if you were intended to be able to go from the citadel to the garrison the cliff would be a lot lower.

Devon Carver, Arenanet staff, who has posted numerous responses in the WvW forums.

I agree with Skylight that many of the responses to him have been childish and disrespectful.

kittening, moaning, complaining and whining… the normal nonsense of any discussion. That’s one thing. But personal insults are quite another. A lot of the comments I’ve read would result in bans if I was moderating these forums. They’re also counter productive. There’s a lot of dev teams that never post on their own forums because of nonsense like this.

Frustration is no excuse.

hell no

player kill points would result in endless kittening in /map chat about newbs and bullkitten like that

[/quote]the case of deadeye, he is even easier. There is nothing skillful about reflects. With the guardian all you do is port to him, reflect, dps and if your dps isn’t high enough as in the guard videos shown, you can use sword #2 to port again and #3 or auto attack to finish him off. Your rotations can be off completely and still do it comfortably[/quote]
just seconding into your gear point,

if i kitten up my rotations a little he’ll get off a 2nd TP before I can kill him; with my gear i cannot kill him before the first port ever, even if I use Mistfire Wolf and full corruption stacks.

Also, it does take skill and experience to recognize when you won’t get your blind off in time for the killshot. Most deaths I have to deadeye are because the blind doesn’t apply instantly so he killshots me while i’m standing inside his barrel.

If they didnt award cash I couldnt afford to keep playing the arena lol.

Arena farmers are an incredibly small minority, and the exploitable arenas can be tamped down without necessitating removing cash rewards.

I think we should call this club the Chompers Club.

Frigging chompers.

It’s an exploit, because you’re probably making more money that intended. I doubt anyone will get banned over Deadeye farming tho tbh.

if you are worried about it just stop where you are

I’ve been using Invader Berserker sword with a Sigil of Rage (1.03 gold, some badges) and a rare focus (0.2 gold) along with my half completed Celestial armor,3 Rampager rares, and Runes of Altruism. I also have 2 yellow and 2 green berserker trinkets with the Eyes of Abaddon. Hardly an ideal loadout, but pretty decent crit damage.

Once I fiddled my traits and got a rotation down i could kill Deadeye pretty reliably. At first I used Butternut Squash (no oil) but as i got better i didnt need it.

Staff 4 as your porting in, mash Save Yourselves, Judges teleport, and Wall of Reflection in that order. Whale on him with the Sword 1, Sword 3, and Focus 5. When he ports hit Sword 2 and continue whaling on him. If I did it right he’ll die before he ports again. If I did it too slow, he’ll port again and I’ll sword-2 after him. Often he will get me down at this point but i’ve always nailed him when im down unless i really screwed up (like swapping weapons wrong or having the wrong skills).

This is with Burning, Frailty, Cripple, and no-dodge.

Using the Mistfire Wolf elite, I’ve killed him with those +Squeamish and those + Crowd Favorite, but not reliably and not both at the same time.
