Q#1: Yes a Maximum of 5 player’s.

Q#2: Currently it’s any 5 player’s, upcoming patch is meant to change it so it will effect your party first.

Q#3: This will change with the next patch but honestly, I couldn’t tell you as it’s so random, its like taking Shout guardian into a zerg and hoping it gets your team mate’s.

Next patch is meant to make Spirit’s more viable in WvW. So I would start looking at builds that deal allot of damage using LB from ranger while maintaining your Spirit’s for team support.

Shorter CD for Spirit of Nature

I say they make the Elite 60 seconds CD and can’t be killed in that 60 seconds, with 20 second CD on its active skill which also does 5k heals. and 5k burst damage.

Also fly’s and shots random lasers from hits head.

90CD might make it too strong but what if they keep spirit of nature on a 180cd but make it invulnerable to all damage for those 60s that is up ? allow it to at least survive those kitten condi spirit rangers spamming AoE on tourneys

Don’t blame Spirit Ranger’s that you can’t beat them, there are so many build’s and classes destroying Spirit Ranger’s. It’s your fault you need to learn your class better and understand how Spirit Ranger better.

Also the worst type of Spirit Ranger is one that Spam’s, unlike most of you who think it’s easy to play. If you spam your costing your team, its about being smart.

Do you even understand how a Spirit work’s, you clearly have no idea at all. There are so many problem’s with running Spirit’s don’t blame Spirit Ranger’s for you trying to 1v1 someone when you don’t understand how and if your having problem’s with them in the team fight cause of there elite, then your team and you need to learn how to play. They take a few seconds to take down once up, super easy to interrupt the res skill as well.

Learn to play.

Of course there are counters to everything, but there’s a serious issue when tpvp teams consist heavily of certain builds which include: some condi necro build, spirit ranger, and stun warrior. Oh yea—a guard too, but at least that class has to sacrifice so much dps for defense unlike the other classes who think having both sustain and sustained dps is totally ok. If I can see 1/10 teams not have a typical build, then sure, it’s a l2p issue but people will always choose the build with the most output.

Or we can name this game to Spirit Wars 2 and we can see who’s the best with the spirit ranger since that’s what it’s coming down to.

You can say what you like, but you have posted life times worth of hate toward’s the ranger, so no matter’s what your always going to find and make something up in your head to try and justify your excuses on the forum’s. Rather then understanding how a class works you would rather complain about it, and learn how to play.

Don’t think once you have even tried to explain something more detail about Spirit’s, bet you never new a Spirit has a sling effect, so when ranger casts his spirit’s active skill he must be standing still or there is high chance the spirit will fling and then casts the the skill missing everything.

Your understanding of a Spirit Ranger is below avg.

I’m speechless, I honestly can’t believe how badly you played there and then you blame the Ranger’s Passive Play. You killed yourself, to even blame the ranger just make’s me think you have no idea how a ranger works.

How did you let that Pet Auto-Attack you to death, you didn’t even try to kite or dodge it’s damage at all. Your playing GC build you should darn well know you need to kite.

Also you died to yourself not thanks to Passive Play. Honestly you would of had same out come vs a NPC outside of LA, that’s how badly you played there.

#interrupt.

I understand that there are some counters to it but interrupting a 1s / 1.5s cast time isn’t very easy versus tough opponents in a clutter filled arena. Something this powerful needs to have an easier counter. Specially as it take very little skill to use in the first place.

Well, I know for one in team fight’s when my team see’s the Spirit go up just as we are about to take a target down, one of our guys will call the interrupt on the Spirit. Maybe people need to stop doing Solo Que (Only good for testing builds) and join Team Que and setup team’s.

Sick of reading these forum’s where most of this player base doesn’t even play at a competitive level, you all want to be Solo HERO’S.

What are you on about. It has a 1 second cast time. Signet of undeath was A PLAYER SKILL and had a 2 second cast and that got nerfed. I never got interrupted with signet of undeath. Or rarely. Now try interrupting something with a cast time only half as long. It is so difficult. They need to make the res spirit have a cast time on its res of at least 2 seconds.

Seen as you play ranger you would of known that spirit’s have to finished there y-x movement right, which is around .5 of a second.

Team Que - Foundations!

in PvP

Posted by: Sol.4310

Sol.4310

List of Improvement’s that will build the foundations for Team Que.

I won’t go into to much detail on each topic.

Team Que, Leader-boards that represent the Teams Name.

  • We haveSolo Que for individual player names. Team’s want a reason to play Team Que, it opens allot more options for team’s as well, you would see Team Que grow faster and be more forgiving to new team’s trying to learn.

Team Que, Spectator Mode.

  • We all want to be able to watch top team’s duke it out. Also helps fresh players learn the game better.

Team Que, Seasoned Ladder

  • Summer/Autumn/Winter/Spring Seasons at the end of each season hold a playoff’s between the top team’s on the ladder. Which results in top 3 team’s getting rewards which can only be obtained at the end of each seasons. E.g. Title for the winner – Champions of Winter Seasons.

Team Que, Own Rank & Titles

  • Currently you can just join a hot-join farming server and glory grind. It’s taken the fun out of having a cool rank. E.g. Team Que Class Title – Legendary Ranger. (I know right awesome lol)

Also I would like to say I really enjoy this game, Thanks Anet Dev’s.

As does my team yet we are often counter cc’ed or kill the pet anyways activating it. Every match versus a spirit ranger is always decided on who cc’s the other team before the nature spirit casts in each team fight. No other skill has the same impact.

Also maybe i should of specified but i’m talking about its effect in team queue but thanks for talking down to me.

Banner Warrior’s, are more painful they pop stab followed with banner res. I play Spirit Ranger, and I know for fact my elite is always getting interrupted its getting to the point where I’m using it as regen and condition wipes. Most of the time I won’t get the Spirit Res off, team’s are catching on to fast. Lazy team’s will always have problem’s, but yes sometimes in clutch moments the spirit ranger will get off a res getting up 3 player’s turning the fight and winning. That right there isn’t a problem with the Spirit that’s called skill.

E.g. other day I went down after getting ganked on a point, rather then stomping me they just burst on me, my spirit died thanks to that res’ed me just as I res’ed 2 team mates came in we wiped and held a 3 cap.

So I personally can’t see how this spirit is a problem where there is far more counter play to it the any other res skill in the game. Also after the recent update all CC now effects the spirit unlike before where you could run into team fight and get away with blue murder and res right under all the cc.

Solo Que, there is your main balance problem. It’s random you can’t come to forums and complain if you Solo Que allot. Your playing a game mode that promotes Hero Builds.

Try Team Que, it’s not that bad and your rarely going to see Team’s stacking professions. Pick a team roll and learn it, there is no god-mode build, so stop trying to demand balances/nerf’s when all you need to do is take hope over the fench and check out why SPvP was designed around team play not Hero play.

I’m not trying to hate on anyone or the OP, as I do understand it can be painful at times. But there is so much counter play going on atm, just matter of time before the meta will shift again.

Sorry but he isn’t a well known Ranger, also his video’s are nothing different from almost every other Ranger, after watching so many video’s of rangers running around with Beastmaster build’s you get bored of seeing the same thing over and over.

Solo Que is your problem, it’s random and doesn’t favor build’s that require voice/team to make it work.

I personally don’t feel the CC warrior build is OP, I have seen and found builds that can beat them. You just need to ask yourself what’s you team roll.

E.g. Mace/Shield – Greatsword is better at pushing points rather then team fights.
E.g. Hammer – Longbow is better in team fight’s.

Both builds have a weakness just matter of asking a friend who are decent at playing these two builds and finding how you can improve your build to help control or counter.

They are in rather strong place at the moment, but last month it was none stop posts about nerf Spirit Rangers, you got your nerf which didn’t effect the good Spirit Ranger’s, now you move onto the Warrior class. Same old just different month. I hope warrior’s don’t get a single nerf. To there current builds.

Team Que you don’t see much class stacking but in Solo Que its rather bad there everyone just class stacks, most of these cheese builds aren’t OP or in need of major change’s.

At least in Team Que you don’t need to worry so much as there is rarely more then 1 of the same class, and most team’s have counter’s or reasons for there comps. Unlike Solo Que that basically luck of the draw.

Gvg is the only form of deathmatch in this game along with duels.You say gvg on a cap mode like in spvp.I give you a tip, spvp failed becausec of cap mechanics and bunkering to cap.People want to kill other players period not to bunker in a kitten circle.

Bloodlust is only in favour of the zergiest server and zergiest server always wins.

You need all the people you can get to counter the Visunah (just an example sry) 100 man blob? Tough luck, you just gave them bloodlust.

You want to cap bloodlust to have a chance to resist against the megablob? Tough luck again, You just lost too many people running arround the map trying to cap it.

Your understanding of SPvP seems to be very basic, you shouldn’t comment on something you have no idea what your talking about. Maybe you should watch the 24/7 SPVPGW2 twitch channel and learn more about SPvP.

Is the apple an orange? GvG is deathmatch hence:

All I’ve done in wvw ever was roaming, either solo or in a small group.

This patch is amazingly fun for me. The ruins are awesome places to fight at, very well designed, filled with little tricks, no stupid walls or gates players can hide behind with 30 arrowcarts, they make escaping zergs (and frustrating them with decaps) very easy.

People are giving way too much importance to the stat buff and ppt. Me? I just care for some good fights and there’s plenty to be had now.

Sure is allot of fun, there is plenty more action now its great, roamer’s now know where to go to find the action.

Snip

You see people, this is the reason why I despise roamers. They think commanders/GvG leaders doesn’t require skill to command and lead. You have already formed your opinions about “no/little/some skill required on GvG commanders” and expect no flaming to be thrown at you?

Tell us kittencrap about you come from gw1 GvG doesn’t give you the right to claim anything or otherwise, simply because top tiered fights in GvG require precise coordination and builds. If you have never even participated in the top tiers of GvG, please refrain from even commenting about them.

The next amount of kittencrap is how “commanders” should communicate with roamers.

1) The kitten orb system is a broken piece of junk. In the first place the population coverage is already not balanced. Think this as chess pieces, each side has the full set, but coverage = missing either a queen/rook on someone’s side.

Then you add in +150 stats. That’s like giving you 3 extra pawns. Holy crap, is this your idea of balance? Even adding any form of stats is broken.

2) Roamers =/= Havoc groups. When you say roamers, I see plenty of kitten buggers running around killing upleveled/terrible 80 players. Then does nothing about capping camps or slow them zergs but spam /laugh command. And it’s not just 1. Are we supposed to reward these roamers who waste their time doing nothing except wasting some people’s time?

3) “making sure your Zerg/PvE train can take them Keep’s/Tower’s.” I see you come from a lower tiered server. It’s quite obvious when you wrote “PvE train”. This is not even remotely good for the servers. Rather than getting more players to play WvW, it has now fallen into a useless PvE train farm, isn’t that right?

4) You do nothing remotely constructive in WvW. Ever seen commanders typing “Stack on pin.”, and you’re off doing some crap like hitting stragglers? Trying to get people to “cap points” is like trying to fit a key inside the needle’s eye. Good luck to commanders to “communicate”.

PS: In my mind, there are certain terrible words describing you.

Do you know me? seems you know me well?

I have been mostly a WvWvW player, spending roughly 90% solo roaming (if allies from my server happen to be near me, that is fine, but I am not in a party). Even when my guild is doing a raid, I am often scouting with my engineer quite far from the group with my engineer. I have also been a PuG commander under the most desperate moments, when our side has had just few random players against a huge blob, which is mowing the map. When other commanders have left the map and we have just few upleveled players, I step in and usually stop when we hold at least 2 towers + 1 keep + few supply camps.

I do not like spvp/tpvp type of play where you contest/hold points and I am surely not the only one with this opinion. Just go to the tpvp/spvp forums and you will find many more. Ruins looks aesthetically ugly. The 5 Power of Ruins points are too close to each other and the who place just feels it was stitched there. Why not to put two capture points where the skritt and Tamili are? Those were the most useless areas in BL maps. I mean the North East and North West of the map instead of deleting the lake. And why to add siege weapons (cannon) to the ruins?

Giving more power to the already winning side and rewarding server points from stomping just feel unfair. This encourages the side with larger numbers to spawn camp the outnumbered side. The winning side +150 on all stats and up to +10% bonus from the Power of the Mists to their vitality and healing power.

September 17th was the day when I stopped WvWvW. This is when roaming and fun died.

PS. The OP of this thread doesn’t seem to hold high opinion of gvg. He probably hasn’t faced the best guilds of this game in combat (I have seen pretty all the top names on EU side):
http://gw2gvg.com/

My opinion of GvG is just an opinion. Reason I can’t stand your guy’s version of GvG simply due to fact I played GW1 for over 6 year’s in GvG so I’m used to GvG being rather small scale and require’s allot more work to achieve results.

No QQ or Flaming Please

Go Troll elsewhere. The first thing you do in your post is claim GvG doesn’t require tactics and skill. Obviously that’s wrong. If my guild did a GvG with the same classes and traits as Red Guard I’m positive we would get rolled.

Ignoring organized GvG for a second and focus on just WvWvW guilds. We want to play WvWvW together in a group with our guild. We don’t want to split up, big epic fights is the whole point of WvWvW. We don’t want to play on a different map. When we come upon a fight we want them to be fair.

Just tonight my guild group came upon a great guild that we really respect. We would never turn down a chance to fight them and likely lose. But instead we see that that have +150 stats currently. That killed our enthusiasm to fight them.

I fully understand the +150 stats is hurting these kind of battle’s and I agree they should change it.

Regards to GvG, I don’t believe that 20 vs 20 requires much skill in term’s clutch plays, skilled reses, player’s calling targets and calling clutch spikes. You will never see top tier game play in such big fight’s. I do understand it require some level of skill, builds being key factor but outside of that, all you see in that video is group following there leader (Targeted) around in a ball dropping combo fields and spamming skills at random targets which is basic game play. Where is the advanced PvP game play in that video???? 10 vs 10 would be ideal, at least then it require allot more tactics and skill.

To be clear, the Roamer’s paradise is the new capture locations and mechanism, not the buff that’s given as a reward.

The buff itself hurts the majority of roamers in unbalanced match-ups (which is most of them).

+1. Heavy roamer here and it’s nice to have objectives roamers can contribute to but that has nothing to do with the snowball issues caused by a stat buff.

So.. Thanks but no thanks Anet.

I agree 100% with the buff to stats, it’s a over kill.

They need to change the effect it offer’s, for E.g. your server gain’s more points from killing player’s.

Thanks Anet great update

Why?, I’ll explain.
At the bottom is list of change’s I would add

Roamer’s will become a server requirement now, the new bloodlust is very anti zerg, unless its unfair match-up which needs to be addressed. Bloodlust or not when its unfair match up your still going to have the super zerg server holding everything.

Roamer’s will take up holding bloodlust, a zerg comes throw caps all the points and moves on to take there PvDoor, within few min’s the roamers will de-cap and take back the bloodlust buff’s or decap at least. This will promote small teams, effective PvP team’s who find zerging boring.

GvG Team’s now can do something that requires skill, try holding the bloodlust with your 20 man team vs other 20 man teams with pug’s and roamers hitting you from all side’s, this will require more skill and tactics. Rather then zerg balling in 20 man group where you have no idea what the hell is going on.

I’d love to see videos of the top GvG 20 Man Team’s using tactics and skill holding bloodlust.

20 Player Guild Team’s will find themselfs broken up into 5-10 man teams roaming around the Bloodlust trying there hardest to hold the points. Player’s will have to rethink there builds and tactics, this will require allot more player skill. Team’s will find themselves in 5v5 match up’s allot, there will be commander directing his teams around the bloodlust trying to hold while reinforcing points to win key fight’s.

Server commander’s now have reason to contact the Roamers asking them to help control a map by battling it out in the bloodlust, making sure your Zerg/PvE train can take them Keep’s/Tower’s.

This also promotes more interaction within the community on your server, it will help bridge the gap between guilds.

Duels, sure this might mess up duel’s but all you ever see at duels are thief’s/mesmers/ele’s running there OP builds calling it skill, you see the odd other classes but 99% them 3 classes dueling. Dueling isn’t that great anymore its boring and doesn’t prove much.

GvG Team’s Take a look at this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwJ34UecxNk, I’m not going to hate on you guy’s as I know Bloodlust will effect your idea of GvG. But this isn’t what I would call GvG. I won’t get into detail but by watching that video I’m sure you have no idea what hell is going on from viewers point of view, you can’t see anything bar massive spam of skills and zerg ball. Sure build’s come into play here, but it’s same for everything you need right build for anything.

Biggest thing Anet needs to get right is the server match up, if tier 5 server is up against tier 1 server bloodlust or not the outcome will be the same, your server won’t stand a chance. So hopefully they can put everyone into right league’s or it’s going to be boring week for all 3 server’s.

No QQ or Flaming Please, I’m just trying to point out the positive side to this update.*

List of Changes

- Add a 5th mini Map with no bloodlust effect, where GvG’ers and Duelers can go. Make it simple, this will stop the QQ/Flame train.

- Tone down the effect so it’s not 150+ to stats it bit to much, 50-100 wouldn’t be game breaking.

- Allow free server transfer for 2-3 weeks so player’s who don’t want to be top tier league’s have options to move there guilds to a less zerg heavy server.

Interview with a top ranger (Niah)

in Ranger

Posted by: Sol.4310

Sol.4310

In the future, view the player your interviewing rather then sit in your class, show there skills-build-items.

Give’s a reason to watch rather then just listen. First 9 min’s was rather boring to watch.

Also I would use http://en.gw2skills.net/ and do up his build and link it.

I enjoyed the interview was nice to listen nice and clear.

EU meta in term’s of Spirit Ranger is allot different, EU seem to use Carrion where NA use Rabid/Shaman setups depending on there roll. Not fan of his build but like I said it’s different in NA to EU.

Thing I like about my ranger is there is currently 3 different version of the one build, so if I want to be back point I have version for that if I want to roam I have version for that if I wanna be troll I pretend I’m a skilled thief and smash my face into the keyboard.

Necromancers aren’t really god mode anymore, but I was one of the first people calling for a nerf to Dhuumfire and Terror. I’m glad I got both.

It could be disaster in situations in which an ability is either uncontrollable or stacks burning by accident. A good example is the new Hallowed Ground: Should a guardian really have to consider the burning cap when looking at picking up a great group utility skill that will help counter the condition metagame? Similarly, should that same guardian worry that his Virtue of Justice will occasionally cap out burning effects and maybe hinder another uncontrollable proc from his condition engineer or condition necromancer teammate?

I don’t think these situations will prop up much in PvP, so I’m not really worried about them in that environment. But it seems like a really flawed balance decision in PvE, a game type in which condition builds have never been god mode.

These are the PvP forums, we don’t care about your PvE your killing a NPC so get over it.

SoS, do you guys have any Roaming guilds? or is it all PvD Zerging? and please don’t say taking a massive zerg into supply camp killing 1 person is your idea of roaming.

Please introduce Perplexity Runes to SPVP

I was just getting prepared to enter a field of flame. =}
I don’t think they should be nerfed , because they’re fine for wvw I reckon.

However! I also dont think they should be introduced into spvp either. But thats because of a l2p issue, rather than the runes being OP

This rune is wreaking WvW, its one of the most OP runes ever.

Let’s get carried by a kittening rune that does all the god darn work for you. YOUR the one who needs to learn how to play

So many band wagoners here, quickly throw some more hate, let me explain few things to you stupids.

Spirit’s are not that bad, most of you just can’t see past your nub-goggles. I’ll explain a few things.

Now the Spirit itself can be destroyed extremely fast. Don’t blame us if your still to stupid after how long to know how to kill Spirit’s.

Now Spirit’s are not the king of back points both Engi and Warrior counter them, do you see Spirit Rangers coming to forums complaining that Engi and Warrior’s counter us to hard. You need to understand most viable spot for Spirit Ranger is in Team fight’s where Spirit’s can be taken out very fast.

Ai body blocking, this is what I find the funnest. How stupid are you most Spirit Ranger’s count on there Spirit’s being alive its part of the build and game, if you can’t get it around your simple mind then your loss. I as Spirit Ranger always target the other teams Spirit’s and take them down fast, soon as the Elite goes up It’s I call it as a target tell my team and we take it down in seconds sometimes so fast I barely get to even hit it.

Only real problem I can see is Anet needs to give us option to turn off effect’s, keep the skill animation but give us the option to completely turn off the Effect’s.

I still can’t believe how stupid most of you are still, learn the god darn game allot better for kitten sake.

There so many easy way’s to deal with Spirit Ranger, your all just stupidly lazy or brain dead. Take a good look at how Spirit’s work, how hard is it to take Hammer/LB warrior to team fights?? how hard is it to take Engi to team fights?? how hard is it to take god darn perma evade thief to team fights?? They can all deal with Spirit’s rather fast.

If anything you will see less stupid’s playing Spirit Ranger.
