That would kind of be OP unless they made the creating requirements really high
What ventari stance needs is to remove the cast time of moving the tablet. Nerf if necessary to compensate, but you can’t play well because all you end up doing is moving the tablet around and not actually attacking because you have that cast time.
i agree with u OP, actually, while we’re at it, lets make ALL the ele’s skills have no CD. ele’s should also be immune to conditions cuz conditions are bad. and now that i think about it, they should be immune to damage. ele’s should also have all their skills replaced with an instakill skills. thank OP, i love your ideas!

i tried a P/P and Staff build for some time (hoped the added ranged damage would help to not miss SB) but apart from Unload (or Head Shot, if you decide to go for a Interrupt Build) you deal terrible damage.
The possibility to kite incredibly well (Dash) or to have on demand Stealth was nice, but yeah thats about it.
Some DD skills & traits are really good though, all the adept traits are awesome for example (at least in the view of a power thief, wouldn’t know about condi).
well you use the on demand stealth to just spam your stealth attack, which is kind of like unload. so basically you just are unloading all the time. its not bad
try this build
dodging into your pistol 5 stealths you so you can spam stealth auto 1 and unload
Rather than character bound.
Anything crafted through scribing by a player representing the guild contributes towards the exp bar.
What are the stat sets available for it?
human starting zone takes like 5 minutes
if you like stealth characters then you’ll like both mesmer and thief. maybe thief more since you dont like casters.
honestly, all classes can do dps pretty well. what i suggest is go with whatever you like playing best
there is an easy way to test out classes
make a human character with the desired class
beat starting zone (elemental hands boss)
go the spvp
then just mess around with its skills and whatnot, there is a vendor that can sell you weapons for cheap to try
Have you looked at Fear?
fear is a condi. so is taunt a condi? if so, the wiki is wrong. i’m not sure how it is in game though
If its a control effect, then why is it red and have the same outline as a condition? (control effects are square and white while conditions are square but pointy at the bottom and red)
I’m asking because on the wiki it says its a control effect.
If its the algorithm then they need to find a way to make it have a standard deviation of sorts. They should make it so maps only switch to another server when there is a main map that is either over/above 80-120% full.
They also need to merge some worlds together so that lower tier wvw servers aren’t so dead.
With all the break bars the cripple pulse is actually quite useful.
but a 3 1/4 channel though? a 2 second channel would be much better and it could actually combo with dagger 4 (2 second knockdown)
it has WAY to long of a cast time to be used in any real combat
Also, you can use zerker and be effective too, but you obviously wont be utilizing the burn of the torch but rather using it for burst damage and condi cleanse for allies
Sinister would be really good (or even viper) but that depends. Do you not mind doing a hybrid build? is that the main weapon set you’ll be using? Do you have Dragonhunter/ want a build with it?
I’ll make ya a build depending on what you answer. You of course don’t have to use it but I just like making them lol

MMOs are all about arbitrary goals and just doing what you like. GW2 has a crap load of those things You have to figure out what YOU want to go for. Armor or weapon skin? Ascended? Legendary? Map completion Achievements? WvW? SPvP? PvE? Guild hall completion? No one is forcing you to play, and complaining will get you nowhere.
To be honest, elite specs should be free for anyone playing SPvP.
SPvP always had that one thing going on for it, which is no grind or paying required to be on an equal footing with everyone else. This already got slightly removed when they introduced plain better sigil which must be unlocked with gold.
The amount of gold required is fairly low.
If the gemstore is involved, even if you can convert Gold to Gems, those specs will be unreasonable expensive.
Making them free for SPvP use only is just going back to the roots. It’s not like GW2 doesn’t have other stuff to sell. Finishers, skins for players and the new mist champions can use skins aswell. There are ways to monitize players in GW2 without charging them for gameplay advantages.
And honestly, elite specs are just that: plain more power. They are often straight upgrades over their standard counterpart.
No, spvp pays like everyone else.
Pls anet pls, pls fix my hurting angus. IT HURTS SO BAD PLS ANET.
No these are awful. DH is fine the way it is.
Lol this is the same post at the DH post. What are you trying to accomplish here?
Wells are op pls nerf
Its just to much already what its going on with 2-3-4 Well Chronos in each game,that is not even close to what would call a skillful game…just brainless well spamming like a dh spams traps,its just to much already,and its killing actualy the pvp part of the game,and dont tell me its L2p thing coz i do play mesmer and well chrono and come on leave wells on a point and just wait and see who gets put down 1st without any actual skill…and dont tell me just dodge coz you dont have only the Chrono wells to dodge in a match,thats fine in a 1 v1 scenario but in a team fight it gets near to imposible to dodge the wells,you have to worry about other ppl also not only the chrono wells and save your dodge for him alone……..like come on isnt it time to start balancing thing around?
for the 13th badge on the list, there is a parenthesis next to it
i think skill 4 needs to apply another stack of burning for starters
and skill 5 needs to apply another stack of burning for the ticks and the final hit
STOP TRIGGERING ME
Shots missed. As did yours, Skyline. The examples I gave are simple, stupid bugs that should have been picked up in QC and never released in the first place. And should take no time whatsoever to fix. They’ve released how many patches in the last 3 weeks? And did you miss the bit where I said “I’m an IT professional”? I’m an analyst/programmer. I’d be ashamed of myself if stuff like this got out into a live environment. Anet, apparently, aren’t.
And no, I’m not personally blaming John Smith. But he was quick to respond to a sucking-up-to-Anet thread. Responses to more critical comments are… rare, shall I say? Anet’s communication with its players has never been very good when there’s negative stuff around.
I guarantee they are trying to roll out a plethora bug fixes in bigger, less frequent patches. So you have to wait, sorry princess.
The only change needed is the no tell knockback every 10 seconds. Just move it to Trueshot with a 5 second internal cooldown so people can now reliably dodge the knockback and we are in busines.
i actually think deflecting shot would be pretty good with it
Awesome – some awe.
Awful – full of awe.
Neither word actually says whether the awe is good or bad.
I think the number of bugs introduced with every release is awful. I think that releasing content with simple basic oversights (bugs) in them is awful. I’m an IT professional in the Real World (i.e. not gaming). I’d be fired if I did that as regularly as Anet (and every other gaming company) do it.
I’d like to know why new crafting materials were introduced without appropriate slots in the collection bank. Some have since been patched, not all (why did it take a year for a slot to be introduced for Foxfire Clusters, for example? Are you hoping that people will spend Real Money on extra bank space?). I’d like to know why Legendary collections were released that have items that are simply unobtainable in the game (Scarlet’s Prototype Mechanism for The Predator, and for one other leggie, I believe, as an example). And very, very simple fixes have still not been applied. That’s just dandy.
Are you still reading, John Smith? Or do you only reply to people who tell you you have some awe?
shots fired
and jesus christ Raedwulf, bug fixes take time. stop being a cuck
That’s 8k with full zerker gear, so yeah, seems fair since you die in 2 seconds
You were in dragon’s maw. The elite trap. It holds you in a barrier that you can’t leave for a few seconds. If you didn’t see a visual dragon mouth holding you in, then that’s because I think the skill is bugged and sometimes doesn’t show it
No thanks jeff

I’m pretty sure this is talking about the build I use and yes it’s broken. Also, every profession currently has a build like this that’s supremely OP relative to 90% of the other builds available for the profession. Anet needs to squash the OP builds so we can have proper build variety.
For those saying “bring condi cleanse” — the reality is that even if you have 3+ condi cleanses, all you’ll do is prolong the fight. I can easily take out 2 people, sometimes 3. It has to do with Anet allowing the DD dodge to behave like a whirl finisher if you take Lotus Training. Anet — if you want to fix this build, change Lotus Training to not be a whirl finisher.
The build has 3 basic steps:
1) Put down a field, I personally prefer poison from SB4 since it is spammable. If there is a fire field nearby, even better. Potent Poison trait works very well with this build (33% more damage and duration)2) Endlessly spam whirl finishers (Lotus dodge + death blossom). You are unkillable since both are evades. You can do this in the middle of a group fight and not die.
3) Every dodge and death blossom will apply 3x whatever the field is, be it poison, burning, chaos ON TOP of the normal bleeding + torment + poison from the attacks.
The build pairs super well with caltrops (obviously) and caltrops on dodge (obviously) and remove conditon on evade (obviously). So, basically, you’re immune to direct damage from dodges and you remove condis on you every time you evade (i.e., death blossom and dodge both remove condis), so you’re super tanky.
I personally like to add an extra cover condition for the full “condi overload” so I use sigils of ice or frailty + energy for the extra dodging. Ice makes is so people can’t run, while frailty gives you a flat % increase to damage while covering your harder hitting condis.
Utility traits that pair well include Impairing Daggers to immob + slow (no running away), Basilisk Venom (keep them from running). Going for Panic Strike also helps if they manage to cleanse the cripple/chill/immob that you keep on them. There really is no escape from all the snares/immob/stun/chil/teleports. Bountiful theft is great for the extra vigor (more dodging!) and boon steal.
And yes, it can kill reaper (lulz) because reaper can’t keep chill on you or hit you with any big attacks due to the evades. Also, with all the dodging/evades, the odds of someone transferring condis back to you is very very slim.
There are other viable variations of the general build that use Pulmonary Impact + Pressuring Strike paired with interrupts from steal, Basilisk Venom and Distracting Daggers. These destroy anyone without continuous access to stability but lose out on a lot of damage if they have it up.
That’s basically the build lol, should’ve specified.
The reason nobody complains about it, is that nobody is really bothered by them.
I am, thus they should nerf them. Clearly that’s how it works right?
We already know you main DH, STAPH with those troll threads.
They aren’t troll threads. Have you ever been locked on a bunch of wells that do pretty kitten good damage? Kills you as fast as traps.
lol
/15characters
Lmao I was like lmao
Yes it is. The auto attack is actually the ones that is wrong. It goes further than 1200 making true shot seem short in comparison. A lot of projectiles have this extra range.
DH is the only spec I found to be blatantly OP so far. Crazy sustain, burst damage, sustain damage, condi cleanse, crowd control, unblockable. Everything about them is mental.
Crazy sustain? What are you smoking, give me some of that chit
Get good. I agree sound advice.
Not sure if sarcasm
LOL. nerf or l2p? Bring conditions cleanse…don’t stand right next to them when they are flipping and dodging around because that’s how they stack bleeds…kite them because they most likely are not the most mobile thief judging by the d/d weaponset. Stun them and hit them twice…they will need to use some defensive cds because how squish thief’s are. I have been playing this weaponset on my thief and I could go on about counters but you should probably just get back out there to learn for yourself instead of crying nerf to fourms.
Actually I don’t really care if they get nerfed or not. This post was just go show how easy it is to complain about professions. Don’t nerf DD but don’t nerf DH either. People who genuinely complain need to get good.
This is ridiculous, anet seriously needs to nerf DH already.
Chrono wells, they are just as strong as DH traps. Pls nerf them bcuz I’m bad.
That one condi build is OP, they have infinite dodges.
I wish I could sell mine lol, I never use it.
Nah, its fine the way it is.
Hey, I realize you need your crutch but all good guardians agree that this skill is overpowered and needs tweaking.
It’s strong but its not OP. Especially the fact that you are rooted in place. If it gets nerfed, then atleast unroot it.
Btw, 1v1 me I’ll rek u even without longbow or traps. In fact, I won’t even be dragonhunter.
(edited by Skyline Crash.6254)
I’m not saying what they did was right, nerfing core and putting the rewards in HoT. But since I bought HoT, its kind of hard for me to care because it doesn’t affect me. I too was one of those people who bought it at launch. I’ve probably spent around 120 bucks on guild wars 2 since the 3 years it came out. That’s 3 dollars and 33 cents a month. Compared to subscription based models (looking at you WoW) that are 15 bucks a month, that’s nothing.
True shot needs a nerf. Don’t even try to defend it. All of my guildies who main guardian completely agree that this ability is kittened.
I’m being hit in WvW for 8-10k and I’m on a warrior with 1800 toughness. The actual skill animation is BARELY noticeable and it’s on such a short cool down it’s absurd. It’s a kill shot on a ridiculously short cool down that doesn’t need to build adrenaline.
If you’ve got 2-3 DH’s in an enemy group it’s impossible to avoid these true shots because they don’t have an obvious kneeling animation and long casting time.
Nah, its fine the way it is.
300 range difference, big whoop. Look how fast it attacks, I can stack like 20 bleeds easy with shortbow.
Not when they’re running towards you.
You also can’t teleport onto someone and drop your traps instantly. Or go basically invulnerable to a facing.
Oh wow, a combo that can be done every 45 seconds.
Do you want some pepper with that salt?
Lmao then why not make a shortbow/trap ranger? It would be condi and everything.
Jesus Christ go back to your profession forum and stop QQing.
You apparently missed the whole section where I said shortbow has less range, meaning you have to normally close onto the point and skirmish. It also gets OUTranged by almost any other ranged class.
Ranger also does not have “teleport to enemy” unlike Guardian.
