Guild Wars 2

need some solid ranged pressure for power builds. axe is not very great at pressuring aware ppls, and base shroud is garbaggio.

its usually dead outside of na primetime which is 6-11 pst.

hopefully there is a guild out there that has a few people online most hours. out of map/void jumping/ etc.

I’m just getting into this and I find it pretty fun. hit me up anytime.

I agree, the rank is way too low. population isn’t an excuse for a very slightly higher bar.

it isn’t working on the caster, the ferocity isn’t stacking.

this post was in hand with another I made.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Proposition-to-put-a-hard-cap-on-boons-condis/first
I didn’t mention damaging conditions back then cuz they weren’t a problem, but I think a hard cap on the stacks might be warranted. idk.

yeah lol I encountered this only once yesterday. I thought it was just me since my game crashed earlier and I had to run -repair. anywho weird bug.

this elixir gun #4 isn’t working with alchemical tinctures.

most other classes trait auto procs have higher cds then their utility counterparts. defy pain shouldn’t be any different.

the trait king of fires gives you fire aura, but its removed when going berserk + and using berserker skills.

this is in pvp.

STICK OP

i think the biggest possible positive change would be to boost all current useless/bad traits+utility skills so that there is more variety to choose from. more variety means more builds and with that diversity we wont be stuck in 1 stale role.

also the +30% stun duration sigil didn’t show an increase in duration on my skill tooltips while on my mes.

im on my rev and its not working.

nah dude would be too op.

just a note, with pistol 2 you can land a full unload at a decent enough range.

if only necros could steal stealth, then we’d be in business.

ive never felt sorry for Mesmer about anything, but I gotta say the extra summon attacks are really kittenin weak.

it seems like it was meant for pvp yet all modes got the change.

skill balance team is semi afk.

the meta build works just fine. minstrel imo is a waste on everything except boonshare Mesmer. you definitely want to be doing some damage as a guardian or else fights take too long, to the point you cant really kill anything.

@Sviel
your first one.

yep, its a really annoying little thing. ill be talkin to my homies then all of a sudden instead of typing letters in chat ill be halfway to china.

pls fix.

in terms of straight up tankyness, you cant go wrong with the 4600 armor guard build. you will be a one man frontline.
(sigil, shield trait, +150 tough trait)

jesus dude, I read one sentence and had to stop. chill out!

people are either into wvw or they are not.
game has population or it does not.

thats interesting. i like it.
way to turn a frown upside down.

they want you to spend money on viper gear.

earlier i knocked back a guy thru the wall near my spawn, and jsut now i got pulled thru a wall by a guard north of mid point.

something has gone horribly wrong.

thats what i ran with good success. the shiro/staff is only for survival and nothing else. you could go sword/sword or shield and drop invocation or retribution but imo glint isnt really necessary. i also find sword/x to be worse defensively then staff. also there is a sigil missing (not to mention the site hasnt been updated yet), the remove a condi on weap swap one. for even more defense and less pressure you could go with mace/sword. people dismiss offhand sword but its pretty decent. alot better then shield imo.

grats on completely ignoring a valid point that would render your argument invalid.

as for the los’ing part, do you really think its sound strategy to allow one skill on one class to force you off point? is the objective to stand off point, or allow an enemy point to remain capped? no? ok. signing off here.

why did they go and mess with plague, lol. plague was ol’ reliable. when things went south, i could always rest assured that i could switch out for ol’ trusty. now whats i got? some dumb stuff, thats what.

im calling baloney.

lol, do you even log into wvw? there arent many people to “organize” and “build up”. those people left. what we have now are the primetime zerglings who only zerg for 3-4 hours then whichever server has bought offtime guilds to ghost cap and win the ppt game.

Feanor.2358:

Just like any other group of 5 will not die if you don’t attack them. As long as they aren’t realistically gaining advantage from using distortion in this specific way, I fail to see a problem.

“any other group will not die if you dont attack them.” i dont even know where to begin.
uh, perma distortion isnt an advantage? are you from another planet or something? or am i misunderstanding you here, idk.

Fay.2357:

So does the grub, but I don’t see many people dying to that.

good thing we arent talking about the grub, which would be a false equivalence.

oh my bad i thought you were saying the daze pulse has a 2sec icd.

lol, it will take all of 5 seconds to read a skill description and “learn” the changes. you are describing a non issue. i think skill splitting is fine. it makes balance easier for anet, and it means they can tailor certain things to not be too op. as long as they keep fine tuning and dont just leave things as they are for too long (which is way worse then skill splitting) .

its the range that is a problem, not cast time.

barely anyone has projectile defense that can be active while a player uses another skill. why do people use this as a defense for cc spam? also los’ing isnt much help in conquest where the objective is to stand on point and cap it. this isnt a duelling server we’re talking about.

Sly.9518:

Hmm someone should read patch notes, Choking Gas has an ICD….. 2 to be precise one on the poison pulse and one on the daze..

Choking Gas: Increased damage by 200%. This skill now briefly dazes foes with 5 or more stacks of poison every pulse. The same foe cannot be dazed more than once every second.

doesnt need stab or condi pressure at range. can get decent condi clear with 2 sigils + trait and resistance uptime. theyre not vulnerable to cc that much lol. i think you should take the time to test it out, its pretty stronk.

there were always duration sigils, all they did was amp them up by 5%.

i went with mace/axe mallyx and staff shiro. staff shiro is just for jukes and survival.
deadshot amulet / torment rune for maximum damage.

looks to me like they are los’ing.

the mesmer group does plenty of damage if you are caught in front of them.

im not sure there are words to express how broke they are right now.

I think bikels is right, condi if good support. you might consider flesh wurm if they don’t have a thief.

so this guys argument is “no high enuf on ladderbord so no room to talk”
sounds like the average response from some 16yo gw2 player who thinks hes all that

this post shouldn’t be in pvp as it confuses ppl. deathly chill for example is not op in pvp. most of what you say is in general an doesn’t have to do with pvp specifically.

yeah HazyDaisy said it. all I’m asking for is better scaling. people are freaking out and somehow blaming me for everyones dps. use your brain people.

watch, its gonna be a condi weapon….
bahahahaha

not enough skills to choose from since launch…
