Guild Wars 2

This game is full of inaccurate math. No surprise.

Sounds fun…which means nothing close to this will ever happen.

The sad truth.

How would TC do if it matches up with SoR again? Do you think we could win this time?

No. A lot of TCers who come out in lopsided matchups are fairweathers. Once we start fighting a tougher, better enemy, they will stop showing up. It really depends how many people will stick around after the reset weekend honestly. We should be more competitive next time, but we wont win unless we have more hardcore WvWers who don’t quit when the tough gets going.

Anyone who remembers reset saturday/sunday that weekend knows what I mean. We didn’t have nearly as many queues, and in a lot of maps, we were outmanned. Comparing that to when we had a few maps queued, and a good force on each map save maybe one, and it’s pretty clear what’s going on.

I don’t think that would be as much of an issue if it was a real “T1” kind of fight. So, a fight like TCvSoRvBG(or JQ). When we faced SoR, we had a 3rd server that, because of a massive population difference, just couldn’t be nearly as active against either TC or SoR. This led SoR to focus a lot on us with very little distractions only because we had the popuation. If there was a 3rd server with a more equal population, then I think the match up would be very fun actually! I would love to have a SoRvBG/JQvTC match!

So you guys didn’t like when the server that had more people and more coverage focused on the second place server over the even less populated 3rd place server.

Hmm..where have I seen this scenario before…

MrSilver.5269:

Fun fights in DBBL holding our spawn tower for what was much longer than we should have. We simply ran out of supply and eventually got overrun.

Props to TSL Commander Laorian Ashburn for leading the defense.

Good times.

6 superior arrow carts, stacking in lords room super turtle mode. Every single time you guys left tower wipe wipe wipe… open field arrow carts at every single turn :p was fun tho. I had to keep supply cut to tower. Good stuff :P

Could you post the build plz?

http://www.gw2db.com/skills/calc/warrior#1|0|11|65|919|318|246|10|1488|0|0|0|0|0|0|30|2428|1529|1491|30|1057|1510|1056|0|0|0|0|2|11|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|

I’m guessing by watching the CD’s and other observatiosn that this is his build.

I have to say with all the fun fights, lack of forum warrior trash talk and BS excuses this has been a really fun week so far, also very refreshing. It’s going to be sad to see these 2 servers go.

Ty for staying classy CD and FA.

I don’t believe in that.

Knights Armor
Zerker Weapons
Mix of Knights and Zerker Trinkets

The toughness you gain from Knights is very noticeable and you still gain precision out of that set.

This is my opinion ofc.

Scoobaniec.9561:

I did tested it today (running from zerk under cripple and chill..naturally i died hehe)
distance travel as the same as without any any conditions that imparing movement. Also switness does not stack with this leap either (test it by urself)

You’re either not testing it properly or you just can’t tell that it is affected.

I tested it numerous times today and it is affected by cripple. The leap ofc still leaps, but when crippled or chilled it is a shorter leap.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Leap

Draygo.9473:

Warrior still has a role

Warrior provides group wide permaswift (5 targets)
AoE stun
Good damage
Best res in the game.
Lots of blast finisher options.

Warriors are weak in spvp right now but excel in group combat situations.

While I agree with most of what you said. The fix to Blind really did put a huge damper on Warrior CC with the Hammer.

mercury ranique.2170:

stability
All classes can get it.

I think your issue is with the Gravelings in the gravelings tunnels. These foes are there to be killed and not to be run past. I know most groups do it and I have done that too. But they are actually palced there to fight them. If you want to skip parts of a dungeon you are required to bring specifick skills, specially for this part. So unlock a skill that grant stability and use it.

I take it you don’t have a thief?

The only stability they have is Dagger Storm..and elite skill that mainly focuses on AOE dmg. It’s not very popular for a PVE stability buff.

But I do agree with the OP. The lack of diminishing returns on conditions and CC in GW2’s PVE has always annoyed the hell out of me.

Sword/WH + Hammer for WvW, sometimes swapping Hammer and Merc Hammer trait out for LB and Cleansing Ire, Usually only while defending.

Step 4 – Mobility. Something we lack. We olny have 1 real gap closer/opener – savage leap. The olny one that inst affected by cripple/chill.
Bullrush would be decent but unlike savage bull is affected.
Whirdwind inst barery a gap closer, its just an evade move with little range that is also affected by cripple/chill.
Rush is definitely too slow, watching myself doing that i feel im on marathon for oldmans. Affected by cripple/chill, takes years to “rush” through 1200meters, and also has fairy high cd (20 untrained). Personally i vote for rush to be the same as guardian leap of faith without blind, and cd lowered to 15sec and lets have it done.

Savage Leap is affected by chill/cripple. They changed that 2 or 3 patches ago, sadly.

With that said, I still disagree with your entire mobility comment. Warriors have some of the best mobility in game. While out of combat(chasing or running to point) even if you’re not using GS/SW/WH you can swap them in and out easy enough and cover some substantial ground.

Even while in a fight I can get away 90% of the time, which is pretty kitten good. Granted if you’re using weapons like Axe MH and Hammer or Rifle or something then you’re not going to have as great of mobility and why should you? You have a ranged weapon so you shouldn’t be in the mix in the first place and not every weapon set should have some amazing leap or ground coverage.

I dunno, maybe it’s just me, but I have no problems with Warrior mobility at all. In fact I’m surprised Anet gave us this much. I get away from many bad scenarios with my Hammer/ SW/WH. So many that it has actually made me fearless about going into fights that I’m outmanned in because I know I will almost always get away.

Savage leap is not affected by chill/cripple. I been running that pre patch and i running it also post patch. If its were affected i would actually complains about a nerf to that.

Also talking about swapping weapons proves that u r either hot join hero or wvw player as in tpvp u can’t swap weapons in inventory. Also i do not talk that i want mobility to run away, i want tools to be able to stick on my target, while rifle and bow doesnt need any mobile skill or pull, rest of melee weps does. Axe mh, mace mh, sword offhand should have build a pull in them. Also to answer why – its a melee set, and we need tools to prevent ppl from kiting while they burst us, if u haven’t played against any competive player u will most likely don’t have idea what im talking about.

Unless they JUST changed Savage Leap back this patch, you’re still wrong. Savage Leap was changed a few patches ago. Chill and Cripple will result in the leap to be shorter. Why don’t you go test it before you reply again.

No need to create a new NPC.

Just add repair option to the merchant.

Also, you do know that you don’t need to repair until your armor is red and broken right? Yellow armor doesn’t hurt your dmg/survivability.

Yes, its been discussed thoroughly.

I was going to link you to the other articles I read after the patch about this bug but it seems there have been so many recent threads that it’s buried and I really don’t feel like finding it.

I’m a Norn Warrior. Being the biggest and first target in WvW gets old. I’ve always been against going human in a Fantasy MMO, but as I hate being a small as an Asura even if it has tactical advantage in WvW and I just dislike the Sylvari, I would like to change from Norn to Human.

So I am for this.

Pro Tip: At each effigy log out, guest on a server, log in. Do this twice(you can only guest on 2 servers a day) at each effigy you find and you can get it done way faster/cheaper.

I think the OP is missing the point that PVE is not competitive in any way therefor should not reflect changes to a class.

If PVE in GW2 was guild competitive like WoW or Rift then yes, I can see your point that maybe some classes need balanced.

HB is a planted attack, blame Anet for not incorporating dodge AI in the NPC’s, not Warriors.

If you nerf Warriors because of mundane, pointless PVE then you have no choice but to nerf them in WvW as well because I highly doubt Anet will take the time to create a NPC/PVP dmg modifier.

Beorn Raukar.4328:

The answer is yes and no. Yes, you have missed the achievement regarding the fireworks as that only run during the past weekend. However, for the meta achievement and the reward (shattered wings) you only need to obtain 8 out of the 13. You can obtain it without the fireworks.

You only need 8?

My meta says I have 9 but still missing one for the wings.

So confused.

Warriors need a nerf and berserker gear also needs a big nerf

People don’t take me on their parties because my build and gear sucks. Please nerf their build and gear so mine doesn’t look so trash.

I have a full zerk warrior, and use full zerk for most of my 80’s.

I support the notion that zerk gear needs nerfing, and more importantly warriors need nerfing.

The damage output I can do on my warrior compared to my other 4 80’s is mind boggling. If I see something like 7-9k damage on a hit from one of my classes, I am like awesome! If I see that on my warrior, I think what’s wrong?

Record hit on warrior = 42k on end of hundred blades, this doesn’t include the several hits before the final of the chain

Record hit on other class = ~11k

You have multiple 80’s and you don’t even know how the attack works?… that number is the SUM OF 8 HITS. Flip over to your combat tab kitten >.>

That’s priceless. I didn’t even finish reading his rambling post, now I wish I would have.

It’s funny how many warriors actually think each number from HB is it’s own attack, so many of them don’t understand that each attack is just adding to the previous number.

Seeing how PVE in GW2 is a joke and is no way competitive like other MMOs why the hell should one class get nerfed for it? If that’s the case nerf Zerker Ele’s, Thieves and Mesmers while you’re at it.

This thread makes no sense.

They wont do that for the exact reason we want it.

We want to free up bank space.
NCsoft wants us to buy bank tabs via gems.

That option makes too much sense. Therefor Anet will not implement it. They HAVE to be different from other MMO’s.

/sarcasm

I wonder how many match-ups it will take before all the servers we face stop making the match-up forum’s all about DB.

Maybe you guys should be in your BL’s trying to defend your keeps instead of trash talking on the forums.

Martin Kerstein.3071:

Let me explain how this works.

The firework event cycle (them happening every two hours) was started at 9:00 AM PDT. The event itself is tied to the ingame time and will happen at dawn (ingame). So your fireworks might not have happened yet, as it is not dawn ingame.

Apologies for us not communicating this more clearly. But the fireworks will happen every two hours over the course of the weekend, so plenty of time to marvel at them and get the achievement.

That…is not even close to what you guys said originally.

earvinarp.6347:

haha, sure! People logging in for a minute on a work day at 10am and find themselves stuck for 40 minutes and they have no right to kitten? lol, you must be either retired or a jobless student.

You know that this event will happen for the next 3 days every 2 hours right?

Regina Rugani.2157:

We are hearing rumors that overflow got the fireworks, and the gifts. Is this true?

No

There were a few overflows that were bugged when Dragon Bash first started but there are no overflows that are actually showing the fireworks atm.

Zedd.8239:

Agriope.4523:

Nice waste of 45 minutes. Thanks for being professional.

45 minutes? It hasn’t even been 30 minutes yet.

Knox.3748:

fireworks just bugged. a dev or mod could come here and explain something. gg bug wars 2

Wouldn’t it be a better use of the dev’s time to work on fixing it and then posting about it?

Public Relations and Developers are different. Public Relations rep should be the one posting while the devs work.

Why make another thread for this? Learn to forums.

Fishbait.6723:

Sat on Underworld server, saw fireworks (whilst /sleep).
No achievement etc…

Are you sure you didn’t see the fireworks that people can launch? Culling could have made it look like nobody was there but you would still see the fireworks.

“We’re sorry, the guy who is supposed to push the fireworks button is also the same guy who pushes the WvW reset button, he’s a little slow”

DB is a server like JQ,
with good Sea presence, lots of pugs, and most importantly, it seems DB has more organized wvw guilds than JQ.
Both server do have lots of similarities.
To be honest, they do have the number to compete with T1 server(well, people will show up less when they are losing), but they are kind of inexperienced,
so all DB needed is more experience or maybe a good T1 WvW guild to lead them, once they have that, they could turn into a real dragon.

Hahaha… we were last in T2 before the new system came into effect. While I’m flattered, there’s really no comparison between JQ and DB, when even TC and FA beat us fair and square for two consecutive weeks before this farce started.

We will, of course, keep on fighting. Shout out to the fellow DB guilds that have fought bravely over the weekend despite the odds.

We dominated the first 2 weeks of T2. Then we started getting sandwiched and we didn’t have some of our key guilds participating to their fullest.

Don’t settle us short.

kerona.3465:

Man, and people call Mag Forum Warriors bad….

So much vitriol in this thread.

Says the Mag who’s posting in a server match-up that isn’t his.

Usagi.4835:

Kids, please, it’s a game. I don’t understand why you’re throwing dissertations at eachother.

And we don’t understand why you’re in our match-up forums when you’re getting roflstomped by a single T1 server and DB is getting rocked by 2.

I’m still laughing at JQ. You guys are happy with second place? You want DB blood so bad you’re willing to let BG walk all over your keeps?

Good strategy, entire server suffers because of a few big guild’s lack of maturity and self control. Maybe you just can’t match BG..we’ll see.

eureka.3069:

Welcome to Tier 1, DB! I hope you’re enjoying your stay.

We’re enjoying it just as much as you guys enjoyed losing in T1 every week.

Whitey.6185:

Isn’t the squad the same thing?

Not at all.

Squad does not show nearly enough.

Also, who’s to say this is just for a tagged commander? What if a guild wants to run with no tag to ensure pugs who aren’t in TS/Vent wont follow so they can ninja something stealthily while the tagged commander creates a distraction. Also, a raid utility would let you see who is in your raid and isn’t with you.

Kind of like the party utility. You can see your party members on other maps. You can’t see that with squad.

I saw all the “Delete Warrior make Guardian” posts and as sad as it may be..it’s true.

Do high level fractals twice.

Once with a shout heal Warrior and once with a Guardian. You’ll see that the group with the guard is much more protected and supported.

Warriors are great for many other things, but protecting a 5man isn’t one of them.

Glad to see people agree.

Pete.8417:

I was in the last fight which Agg also won ! and Sorry for tht but i got killed with no reason!

After GvG events its FFA. Run, die or kill.

15-20 of us proceed to beat on gate at Redbriar
50-60+ Mag roll up and we live a lot longer than we should have
Mag starts a /laugh taunt

Just so you know Mag, each time you /laugh after wiping a group when you have triple numbers you kill a puppy.

Last night, during NA prime time you were ticking no where near 600+. SBI was ticking well over 200 most the night. Should have clarified that it was not during pvdoor funs. And yes please tell me how I would act, cause it would be creepy if you knew me that well…. ;o

We had a pretty good time in EB last night too. Here’s a pic of one of the epic Rogue’s Quarry battles we won. The DB zerg reminds me of that team the Harlem Globetrotters plays every night

The single mag guy in the back of that DB zerg.

“Oh, don’t mind me guys, I’m heading to the dredge”

I know, I was just kinda pointing out the cheap tactic.

“You don’t want to GvG [Agg] until you have your group synergy down.[/quote]
This. Out of all the guilds that DB got, Agg was the best hands down. My guild sparked to action and we played our best when the Agg zerg was coming. To top it off, they never came on the forums and talked crap or did any chest thumping. If you are going to fight Agg, you will need to be at your best for sure, and have them out-manned 2-1, and hope they are the only ones lagging and have your finger on the win button.”

Fixed the ending for ya :P

Agg is like the Energizer Bunny, they just keep going and going and going. Glad they’re on my side…

It will heat up in a few hours when FA and SBI logs back on.

Hopefully the lead wont discourage them from logging in wvw for some good fights.

kfarb.6732:

I don’t know why I’ll never learn that if a solo DB player stops to fight me 1v1, it just means he saw a green dot or 3 heading his way.

Verified.

Yeah..because only DB does this, no other server EVER does this.

“rolls eyes”

Can my fellow DBers(mainly the pugs) stop being kittens and get off of SBI’s EBG spawn.

Show some class people.

warriors can have it too. I don t know, i rarely have a problem with conditions on my ele and I certainly need the buffood to spice up my crappy dmg, not my cond removal

warriors don’t have the mobility that an Ele does…

GS and Sword/Warhorn
Bulls Charge
Signet of Rage

That’s a constant 33% swiftness, a 1200 GS Rush, 450 Whirl-Wind Attack, 600 Sword Leap and a 600 Bulls Charge. And if they are a Norn, instead of Signet of Rage they use the Leopard, gg.

As for the OP’s discussion. I run the 98% build on my warrior and love it. Granted during large and constant zerg fights I swap out my food buff for something else.
