Guild Wars 2

In order to get 2k rating off of placements you had to go against top players all 10 games But certainly there should be a higher cap on placement games or a fix to how the system calculates MMR because it’s simple to exploit and all the top players are doing it.

OlrunTheBlade.1486:

Over time, the highest rating in the game climbs. Rating is siphoned off from the weaker players, but that doesn’t happen instantly. The placement matches boost doesn’t keep up with that. As the season progresses, this will get harder and harder to do. Considering that you two needed to cheat to do this NOW, I don’t think it’s the issue you’re making it out to be. And in response to Katsumi, the solution is to ban people who do this. It’s blatant match manipulation, and chat logs would show this.

Smurfing on alt accounts is match manipulation in itself by exploiting the leaderboard system,plenty of games like overwatch actually ban these smurfs accounts.Sadly almost every top player right now is using alt accounts to avoid losing rating on their main.

Remove duoq entirely or add a minimum game requirement to place on leaderboard something like 50 games

Btw I duoqd on a alt and both Accs are 10-0

Well I did it to show how broken the system is not because I actually care about the title!
Hopefully anet will add a minimum game requirement or some sort of system to avoid smurfing !Every top player right now is currently spending the majority of their time queuing on a alt.The fact of the matter is the system is easily a exploitable and needs a fix

Queuing once every 2 days on alt account is also a joke.
A funny joke most people are doing to avoid decay
Hopefully anet can fix their system as it is easily exploitable by smurfing and other ways

All the top players are going to quit trying if this kitten happens
Just play 1 game every 2 days do avoid decay

Jeffies here we wanted to test out what smurfing on alt accounts would do to the leaderboard and it turned out duoqing during you placement matches was all it took to take the #1 and #2 spots.It’s worth noting that we took down plenty of top 10 proleague players during the placement matches that gave us way 2 much rating.
MAY THE BATTLE OF THE QUE DODGING ALT ACCOUNTS BEGIN!

Thank you storm!You’ve done more for the community than anyone and your hard work is much appreciated by the community.
It wasn’t until I won an ag before I decided I could try going pro and 2 months later I ended up @LAN all cuz of you’re tournaments.
Much thanks much love <3

Public reminder!
Carrion is a very valid choice and very good if you build around teamfights like most meta comps.
I underestimated the boon share in teamfights!

But depending on the comp you face switching between rabid/carrion like equipping rabid when facing a triple power threat or carrion when double or more condi is ideal.
There is no 100% meta build the build has slight variations of course depending on what kind of composition you go against.

Keep thread productive bois
I don’t want this to get removed:/
Go to the drama boards for this kitten.

It’s not like this build is completely orginal,of course people have tested similar kitten before.Its the specific utilities and relevance due to the new meta.

Am kitten can confirm just ask NL

This is obviously a team oriented build and needs to be babysat like any other competitive necro build
Ranked q is a completely different game than competitive organized matches

Well you don’t stack might so the power damage is hardly noticeable plus the extra precision helps out for the lack of power damage by critting.
Your also a lot tankier which is nice when your the focus target in every fight.

It’s better because of the Druid nerfs and overall comp change to the meta.
Dh’s and thief making a presence makes the weakness spam of this build extremely potent.
Also corrosive poison cloud against headshot and Dh lb is extremely effective as well as stopping enemy down cleave(esp against invo rev).

Just tested in scrims today.
Rabid is a viable alternative to wanderers also grenth is nice too.
This is very viable and a better alternative to standard signet necro

Cant run power necro because the other team will go powerful auramancer and gg:)
Also power necro is nothing but a gimmick in competitively play.

Also leeching effects like shiro heal and leech from nec/digit goes through endure pain.

Spamming heal shout and the 2nd trait in reaper <3
This is for teamfights obv

New link is up!

Oopsies wrong link

The new patch hit necro hard,the removal of downstate along with simultaneous nerfs to their pillar rezbots (Gyro daze removal and anet sledge hammering Druid)made the future for necro look dim.But never fear! I’m here to bring you next evolution of Necro

By the way take the 2nd trait in reaper for both master/grandmaster

This build had amazing life force regen it had more aoe pressure and it almost had the same level of corrupts while being tankier and easier to Rez due to corrosive poison cloud which spams weakness and destroys projectiles making it very hard to cleave you.(this craps out weakness)And did I mention it still has amazing corrupt due to aoe corrupt on ds#2 and other procs
You’re welcome the next meta is here bois.

Any tips,tweaks,or craft is welcome ps:credit to zan for corrosive poison cloud
Jeffi Jeffi Jeffi

Ele is currently top top tier of pvp .Sadly it has no viable dmg builds but that’s mostly because of rev.
It’s actually where it should be.

MDTarik.5602:

the intro from jeff from never lucky

<3333333333333

Guardian is going to need other classes to get knocked out of the Meta before you can take one.
You have your 4 core classes atm
necro rev(ele/engi)Druid
That leaves only one spot left which is usually taken by a Mesmer with some wiggle room for thief

If Mesmer gets forced out than maybe guardians could see some play,but for now it’s no where near optimal.

Plllllllllssssssssssss

Ele necro rev gonna win I’m callin it

UmbraNoctis.1907:

Necro doesn’t force any class out of the meta. It is actually one reason, why engi is played – necro needs it as a babysitter/res-bot to be viable. And yes, necro has decent cleave against downed – which is good, you shouldn’t be able to res everything.

No necro absolutely forces engi out/ if both teams are running signet with well of corruption the engi gets feared instantly off the Rez because of the well and you get wiped

Ele is much better because it can actually support the necro rather than just Rezbot it

Compared to other classes unique class mechanics,a function gyro you can only use ok downed targets is not amazing especially since the stomp is longer than a normal one (5sec) and it can get cleaved easily since it only had like 9k hp

What’s hilarious is that most of the community believes necro may be over tuned.
The point of necro is once you get a down, necro cleaves everything out making it impossible to Rez.

Also necro forces engineer and other classes out of the meta.
Necro is fine atm,it actually needs some minor nerfs

Reduce cd to like 75 sec

Anet please disregard this post.
Only thing that may need tuning is staff auto attack <3

Dh is very easy to pick up and be super effective with at Low tier pvp.It had one of the lowest skill floors in the game but once you actually start playing competitively even just diamond and above the effectiveness goes way down mainly because a large portion of its damage is projectiles which is easily countered and it has high defensive CDs which means if the longer the fight lasts the more weaker the guardian gets.

I suggest rolling a Dh so you learn what exactly is killing you,most likely your just eating every true shot and running through test of faith

Here I come storm fresh outta esports.
Ag is my home, Jeffie will prevail

Engi is really bad not because it’s Rez is bad it’s bad because well of corruption instantly fears the gyro and the engi off the Rez and you can’t get the Rez without distortion or committing really hard(which could get you wiped)
So ele is wayyyy better because it fills the support role wayyy better than engi can now.The only reason why vermillion and r55 ran one was really because zan/argi both didn’t have time to learn anything else.

The downstate change sounds amazing and actually allows time to cleave the body

Ele will be present in nearly every WTS team at LAN it is fine atm

Teams have learned to counter play engis Rez and ele is support makes some classes like necro super strong .
The support is still amazing it just can’t troll 1v2s and some 1v1s anymore

Ele is still amazing and almost every top team is now running one pls

I’m rooting for PZ!!!!!lets go bois
Wait I’m on never lucky oops

M0o’bs my boi doing as he do
Take notes
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9qGES8UXYK4

Gyro dies instantly launch downed body away from rezzers apply poison?
All is needed is a longer cd

Tbh if you just shorten the invuln frame on down you can actually cleave it and engi could keep its main elite mechanic

Dh counters condi warrior and a necro does its job better cuz of engis function gyro

Only thing that needs to be toned down is Function gyro
Flashing blade on Dh along with some damage modifier traits on rev

I mean they could easily just pre made with ts and farm it,doesn’t matter how bad they are.

When a legit strategy is for your necro to die on top of your engi until the other team takes to much counter cleave it needs to be toned down.

Scrapper elite mechanic is to Rez/stomp with function gyro however it is a little to frequent.Nerf the cd from 20sec icd to 30 that is all

I’ll 1v1 you bois if you need scrapper duels,I beat kitten all the time on engi and he’s “best guard NA”
