Jax.5261:

This is in Hotjoin, not tPvP.
It was patched out of tPvP last year, yes it was a tactic used to give players longer respawn timers.
They left it in Hotjoins so that when players die they spawn with allies and can co-ordinate slightly better, so they don’t die running in single file.
In tPvP the spawn timer was almost always 18-20seconds as people would always time their stomps to give you the longest res time, this prompted people to complain about the extra 5 seconds and sometimes that their enemies would res too fast due to them not being able to stomp at any other time.

I encountered it in tPvP, not hotjoin though. So are they ACTUALLY fix it yet?

I don’t think Fire Aura u gain from Signet will be shared though? The same go with Fire Aura through combo Leap through a Fire Field or Magnetic Aura gained from Runes of Earth. They should fix this ASAP.

Here is a video talking about rotation at 17:50 which i find very useful. Watch it for more understanding. Nice to talk to you tonight and wish you will be a good Eles in a very near future.

That’s is just funny. So we should not stomp people when this “wave” respawn mechanic draw near. This is juts plain stupid.

In tPvP, I notice that sometimes, our opposed team member respawn VERY fast after being killed. 1s, I already see them back to the point. I, myself,when we went down (killed), our respawn is like 14s for the next revive? So I wonder what is the difference between two. (one take 14s to respawn and 1 take 14s to respawn)Is it bugs or working as intended?

I was looking on the net for any strategy guide on all PvP map. Could not find any. Mind I ask any pro team out there put up a Comprehensive Guide for this matter? Those for example should be included in the Guide: What is the Ideal Team for the map? Should the team be more offensive or defensive? Which point should we pressure at the start for DPS Team, Bunker Team or AOE team?What should we look out on the map? What could we do when we are being lead or on the lead? etc… I believe the Guild would be very come in handful or all new PvPers. Thank a lot in advance.

Up for a new day!!!

S/D thief is so HOT right now.. Too bad, I can not get a Girsp of it.. Lame. However, I am all for LS rip only, not steal… Make the skill cost more innititive won’t do either, just make people stay away from the skill nor reduce the dams by half is just a lazy balancing attempt.

Multiple Builds in some SPECIAL CERTAIN OCCASIONS, I guess

“I don’t main a ranger! But I’ll sure as hell whine about them!”

Flawless logic.

My logic is I don’t main a Ranger, Yet I understand the class MORE than some of you out there… Ranger has only 2 DODGES is just.. SPEECHLESS….

Grasping at straws now, huh? Keep that logic a-flowing!

What straws ???Care to elaborate a bit?

Remind me again how many evade attack does S/D set ranger has again, pls?

What does that have to do with ranger pets, when traited, doing respectable damage?

The question is to counter the previous post, please read them for more infos.

Now, I don;t mind if Ranger Pets doing Respectable Damage when Traited. That is what I wish for. But at the current state, Ranger can be a BUNKER trait and PET still DEAL DAMS as if he is a DPS trait seems way off to me.

Hm… Call others fool is not nice. But it seems that you are uncapable of comprehend what we are trying to message to you here. RANGER ITSELF IS FINE< IT IS THE PET THAT IS PROBLEMATIC AND HIS MECHANIC. You get it now? If not, well then I give up LOL>..

Do you play a thief? Your grammatical inaccuracies and fervent whining about an easily counter-able build because you can’t 1v1 it is really starting to fit the stereotype here. Might I suggest that you start working with your TEAM, in this TEAM game, where you can work with a TEAM of players against a single target, to solve this over exaggerated problem you have with these boogey rangers? You might be surprised by how easily you can kill them.

Also, stop whining, jeez.

OK LOL, I give up… I do play Thief. And thanks for pointing out my GRAMMAR. Guess speaking 4 different Languages somehow dull my English skill a lot that some people can not even comprehended. Oh well…

So all other class, the problem like in Pet Dams whilst being a Bunker… However, CCd Skill are way limited compared to Ranger Dodged Ability. So if he is timing right and play smart, he rarely get CCd. I play an Elementalist. There you go. Some people mistakes my name and thought I was main thief, therefore discredit all my opinion on Thief Matter… LOL

Oidmetala.8426:

stop crying about rangers u fools,
i cant read such kitten all the time…
its only because u are to stupid to know how to play against ranger and his pets
and when u go 1vs1 a buner its your own fault…
or do u have 1vs1 the ele bunker also when he was on homepoint?!
there are not much ranger players on tournament,
or do u ppls see more rangers then ele, mes, engi, thief in high ranked teams?!
this forum is full of no skilled players just crying kitten
and anet ist stupid enough to listen u!

this class was never op and u have qq well all
nerf inc and ranger leave the tournament again
there is no strong build, only beastmaster which is not so good in teamfights like bomb engin

Tiberius.3802:

Oh, pipe down. We have 3 dodges, plus the normal two. We basically use them from the plethora of bursts other classes have. If someone catches us with a CC, when we’re not in a dodge animation, it’s easily over for us in a few seconds.

LOL, I am chill, so no Pipe Down for me. Sure it will be most likely the case. But a Pro Ranger will get his escape while the others don’t. Is it not the same with other Bunkers as well?

I see no problem on this. Anet is a BUSINESS company, not a CHARITY company. We already play the game for FREE already. But they need MONEY for more DEVELOPMENT. And when more DEVELOPMENTS, means we are HAPPY. You do have the OPTIONS whether to rent it or not. So if you don’t want to RENT it, it is FINE too… Why QQ?

Eh really? Why I counted 3? Sword 2,3 and Dagger 4? U must have been really tired from all that typing. Oh and we should not forget about the one from Trait too. I think it is called Shared Anquish or something… Come on, I don’t main Ranger, you know.

God forbid that rangers be allowed one ability that does more than 3k damgae.

Or you could just snare pet and then strafe sideways in circles around your target while stabbing them. Never get hit by pet again.

God forbid that rangers be allowed one ability that does more than 3k damgae with just auto attack whilst being a BUNKER. There fixed it for you

Rangers aren’t actually very good bunkers. Notice how they have trouble with even 2 people hitting them. 3 people will just murder them. Its only 1v1 that people obviously have trouble, but this game isn’t balanced around 1v1, nor should it. If it were, mesmers and thieves would need dramatically less burst and would need a severe nerf.

Rangers are definitely no guardian or engineer when it comes to bunkering a point. 1 well skilled thief can easily break a bunker ranger in half. I see the trade off of less bunker ability for a bit more damage to be reasonable.

My friend r40, Champion Hunter ,Bunker Spirit, SB/S&D and he can hold our home point against 2 with ease. With 3, he need helps but he put up a good fight alone bf we are even there to help him (like 2mins).

If he can hold 2 people with ease, then they’re not using enough CCs. A few CCs, and the “bunker” ranger’s down.

Remind me again how many evade attack does S/D set ranger has again, pls? And what is the CD on theirs too pls? And also, can u please look at what CD for other CCs skill? Then you can let me know later

I just want my RtL back to his old form in the back old Days.. Sign….And also Heal while Mistform.. Guess it is just my fantasy dream >-<…

i’m pretty basilisk is just one strike

Yeah, it is.
To be more precise, it is just one hit.
That means that if the strike misses, the venom effect is still there.

“The number of uses on this skill’s effect will decrease if the attack is negated by Blind, Block, Evade, Obstructed, or Invulnerable.”http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Basilisk_Venom

That was my fault then.
I thought that venoms still have their effects after the attack misses, it happened to me sometimes.

If the attack miss because it is out of range or being evaded, I believe the poison still remains. I am already tested this with my friend, so I could strongly confirm this. But if the attack miss because of Blind, Invulnerable, it counted akitten, just no Dams. Therefore the Poison is used.

I think he mean Miss as in the Attack did not connect (either by attacking out of range or Evaded). For all those attack negated like u list, it counted as connected. I am pretty sure with Evade thing and Onstruct (tested), not sure why Wiki List it though. Have not tried Invulnerable yey, gotta try out later.

First, to duel with a Mesmer is already exhausted with distinguish bw Clones and Trueself while Evading all his Crazy Auto-Pilot Phatasm and his Shatter every 10s plus his Blurred Frenzy coming in any 8s. While it is true with just one mesmer,how about when a team got 2 Mesmer? Or even 3? .Things start to get ugly are they not?And these team is not rare to come across if u tPvP a lot

Hm.. What build did u try? What Specs did u trait into? Have you read the D/D Phoenix Build Guide? Have you watched some Elementalist Video in action in PvP? Have you known about the basic rotation of Eles? Have you known some trick on Eles? I can tell you some when we met in person. And btw, Eles is not a joke, it is a force to be reckon with but by saying so, I don’t mean ELES is OP, so don’t flame on me

Jax Silven, we team up, can we?) You Bunker Guardian, I bunker Eles. Together, we make a long work of everyone) LOL…Oh BTW, Kaane Moka is the name just in case u don’t know who I am.

Stealth.9324:

The point is when a Thief Basilik Venom you and you being stoned, expect BS follow up next. And if that thief is a DPS thief, most likely all the time, then that BS will put you on at least 50% health. A few extra auto attack and HS, HS,HS, you will see yourself down on the ground in no time. Ask a thief friend and try it out to confirm my statement.

Maybe ahuba, you should also put a way to counter them as well, not just by dodging. I am sure many players here can tell you how to dodge them effectively and you can include it on the topic as well.

And isnt that exactly why you should dodge it?

There are different ways for different classes to counter different moves, i just wanted to make a short list of important animations to learn :d

I did not suggest you what skill you need to use for each certain class to get the counter.That would be way too complicated. What I mean is for example, with CE from Eles, you can either Blind them, Interupt them or Dodge them. And let the player himself find the way to apply these methods in tPvP.

Takato.4976:

Some of you seem to forget that rangers can spec to have an insanely DPS pet and yet still be beast himself by going full condition damage/whatever defensive stats that goes with them.

Since pet stats have no relation to what the ranger is wearing, you can build a condition ranger ( in which condition builds are meant to sustain/bunker ) and have a “zerker” pet.

This is fact, and the reason rangers are rampant in pvp now.
No need to be ignorant Xsorus.

EDIT : And it seems you main ranger, no wonder you’re defending it like the second coming of jesus.

We told them MANY MANY times, OVER and OVER again that Ranger is NOT the problem but their PET…They don’t really listen to us.. Sign…Get the Pets scale with Ranger Stats, end of all the dramma.

While ur suggestion is good but in an fast paced game like Gw2 and in tPvP, it is impposible to write it down in chat. Plus worry too much about Moa, like remember who has been used it, who is not, what is the CD, etc… reduces the effectiveness of the team more than 50% and exhaust their mind.

Alustriel.6802:

@Stealth.9324
Some nice tips at Supply Crate topic.

Moa Morph is hard to dodge in 1vs1 cause it animation is kittening pink as any other mesmer skill also it can be casted in stealth. If some1 is dodging it at teamfight on purpose then /bow for him.

Before, you can dodge Moa due to its drawback for being Immobilize while casting. So when you see a Mesmer sudden stand still with his hand raise up, then you know that Moa is coming. But after the patch, they make MOA can be catsed while Moving make it impossible to detect and dodge..

ahuba.6430:

sorrow.2364:

Alustriel.6802:

You can block it, or put fear after it, or any other class mechanic that give u those few safe second after beeing hit by basilik. ( i.g just blind thief ).

The point is, why do I even think to avoid any weapon hit which comes from the Thief after he has used Basilisk Venom? It is an incredible waste of endurance. Also if you succeed to dodge the first two attempt to trigger the venom, on the third you are going to eat it anyway. It is counter-productive to suggest to dodge Basilisk, it is way better to get hit from it and then use the stunbreaker.

i’m pretty basilisk is just one strike

How to dodge Moa when we are in a grp fight with all the clones and flashy effect going around? And for the Eles, you miss Chunning Earth (dodge by Blind them or at 2.5s after they cast)..Mesmer also has Temporal Curtain that pull pretty hard. Also, all the Phantasm also worth dodging as well in their initial attack (dodge when Mesmer cast Phatansm, not when they are appear already, you can negate 90% of the dams). For Engine Supply Crate, dodge by when you see Healing Turret is up, Fire turret will be drop 1s later which in turn will stun you, as soon as u see Healing Turret, dodge,kind of hard since the time is so fast but you can do it.

Still recruiting… Tournament season is just around the corner

Most of our members are 18+. Will that make us a mature Guild? Though we are sure we have mature minds and a competitive spirit.

Barrons.7290:

As the necro for the team i can say we do really well considering we have only been together a few days and being able pulling off some nice wins against teams that have been together alot longer. Maybe its just beginners luck but we do get some fantastic games.

Thanks Barron. It makes my night

Leaderboard means nothing actually. But Rank at least means something. When looking for a team mate to be competitive, would you prefer to take a teammate lv 50 rather than a lv 10? The reason is it is easier to change from Hotjoin to tPvP, all it need is just follow the strategy and the new mate at least has known his class so well by now, rather than a fresh new pvPer. I have not seen any Team Recruit based on Leaderboard, so I can not tell anything on this matter.

Lol I never said anything about Phantom title is bad nor I am against it. I just said Champion X is more valuable than X, but in the end, it always personal taste.

Champion title provided to people to let they feel proud that they have a sound knowledge of tPvP and also let others know that they are Decent Players. Why take away that “Champion” Title?Why you hate it in the first place just because it does not sound cool? What different does it make bw" Champion X" and X???

Ah because in hotjoin, people won’t care much about win or lose,zerg everywhere,here and their,no coordination or whatever, plus the number of member in one team can change so much, (3vs8 anyone whereas tPvP is where the true skill, true tatic, teamwork involved. By giving the title Phantom to sPvP, excuse me for being straight forward, it is a disgrace to the title, easy to obtain but lost its value so much

Well at least, it give out a unique sense in one way plus it is catchy too.. Take for example those K Pop Singer Group like : Big Bang, SN2D, Super Junior, etc… The point of a name is for people first to impress,second easy to remember. As long as it is not overboard, every team can name their name whatever they like. It is in their right after all.

Writetyper.1985:

Maybe if you didn’t give your guild the name “X Phantom Lord X”.

Eh? What wrong with the name?? It sounded cool. It named like that so, when we end up winning, people can’t say you are so mean or whatever.. We are evil ok )… Joking aside, why do u think the name is not good?

suggested something like this in a thread once… always meant to make a suggestion about it, but yeah, agree. Should be an option to make all character models human.

Heh, please no please, I already see enough human in real life. Do not want to see more in my second life… Don’t mind if there is an option that allow You and only You see other players as a Race you choose. But honestly, what Asura did to you guys…I mean they are cute and intelligent but by no mean, they are mean….(crying from inside)…

Please, learn to read.

EDIT: Since alot of people seem incapable of reading

Tumri

Please add an option for players to have all other character models in sPvP be switched to Human(or their choice of race if that isn’t too difficult to implement).

What did I misunderstand you?? And I know how to read..You suggest they have options to make all character models human.. And most likely in case this being implemented, there will be no options.So far,how many options you see we have out of thousands and thousands opts we NEED??And No, I don’t want to see more Human.. Please use your brain to comprehend what other people said bf accusing them for illiterate..

I think its possible to allow the game to only display players as humans for you. On their screen they will look like the race that they chose. If you choose you can display them as humans on your screen only, otherwise its off by default. So if you want to you can still see them as whatever race they chose, you don’t have to see humans everywhere.

That is exactly what I have in minds. Hope they don’t mess up along the way though.

I don’t mind to have you in our team but is ur playtime suit with us?? 7pm in AEST is what we use.

A new day, a new hope, a new game….Bump!!!

Try normal bunker specs but use Valkyrie or berserker amulet or jewel, result will be much different.

KrisHQ.4719:

Imo it’s only the asura that is causing a problem.
The other races are large enough to see when they’re swapping weapon-sets and using certain skills.
The simple solution would be to ban Asuras from tournaments (Not the IG ones, but competitive).

=_=!!!…Racist…

See ur gameplay. Impressive. Too bad I play Eles. Good luck with the fifth.

Ugh,,, I thought they have done a good job by removing this but now,,, lose all credibility…GG
