Guild Wars 2

If signets that can actually dramatically alter a situation, while also giving passive bonus while not activated, I would say they are way much better than any other type of Ults out there since you have both passive and active while other types of Ults only have active. But since it is not so much called dramatically alter a situation, most of the time, it is just sit there because people prefer to have passive effect rather than a kitten active effect.

The Boz.2038:

I love it when people back up any hare-brained idea of theirs with “promotes build diversity and competitive gameplay”.
Here’s a counterargument: No it doesn’t.

I don’t see why it does not promote build diversity and competitive gameplay, simply say it does not without any proper explanation does not help the game getting any better. The reason for me is those Signet stay in Ults, just to get the passive buff while its owner does not care about a thing is simply mindless spam. Ults should be used more often, rather than just one passive sit there for a whole fight.

Elementalist right now has no role in tourney because in any role, there are other class that can perform way much better. Bunker Guardian are way better than Eles akittens current state. Fresh Air spectre is viable as long as you have teammate cover for you in case your burst fail. In 1v1 engament, if u fail your burst, you are dead. Since Elementalist has no defined role, the team would never pick one for the team unless they desperate need someone to fill in. The same can be said for Mesmer.

I am a 3 kits Engineer build. If you need help with their combo and counter,Silv, I can help. The combo is as following:

1/The Enginner place confusion bomb as where he stand.
2/He use Magnetic pull to pull you to him, just in time the confusion bomb ignites, 5 stacks of confusion on you.
3/He smack you with Pry Bar while you close to him and down, give you another 5 stacks of confusion.

The key here is to dodge the pull and you will be fine. How to dodge the pull? You found out yourself.

JinDaVikk.7291:

Stop your whining condition warriors are weak and do next to no damage. Maybe in your 1v1 environment or without ANY team support you may eventually die to one. This is a complete L2P issue.

Condition warrior is far do next to no damage. I did not say he is Op but saying he is weak and deal next to no damage is wrong. My friend play one and I could never defeat him. You know what hurt? Torment stacks with Impale…2s Immbilized inside the Arrow Fire,,ewwww….

Having passive trait: Cool story. It defines build!!!
Having passive Signet: Ok, one individual, a kitteneesy but ok!!!!
Having AOE passive effect (Spirit): Fine, a lot cheesy but ok!!!!

Having one of them is ok but having all 3 of them are just CHEESY, HORRIBLE, create Skill-less build with big success.

My suggestion: Remove all Signet Utls off and replace them with something like: " When activate, it gains X toughness + X effect in X seconds" I believe with this chance, it will promote much more competitive gameplay.

Simple put, make Ults of all class like Engineer Ults, no Signet. And that is why it is fun to play and watch, also promotes more build diversities..

Which class has more build than Engineer ATM, raise your hand?

Spirit also has a 240 sec cd unlike elixir r, so it should obviously be better. Engineer gets elixir r AND supply crate. Compare elites, not utilities.

Do you want to trade your spirit with my Elixir R? I would take it any day given

I’ll trade ye man. I rather have double elixir R any day. that’s of course I could have your supply crate as well

We’ll trade him that kittenty signet of the wild and spirit for elixir R and supply crate.

Hell, we’ll trade him all the signets as long as we get his elixirs

Can be ressed twice in 30s with a 240s cooldown (180 effective cooldown), compared to can be ressed once on a 120s CD requires enemy to not be AFK to counter. What would you rather have?

One can be killed long before it’s necessary. It’s not our fault your team is too crappy to bother aoe’ing the spirits down. It pretty much takes a single 100b+whirl to kill all spirits.

I would also question the team capable if you get the Engineer get his Elixir R off for res. A few comparison why Elixir R is Ults and Spirit Nature is Elite.

20% chance to Rez vs 100% chance to Rez And Remove Conditions.
120s Cd, Rez once vs 30s CD, Rez multiple as long as the Spirit alive and one guarantee when dead.
Counterable and visible vs Un-counterable and visible.
Stay in position vs moving.
120s CD in no matter what vs CD start after summon.
Not common see in tourney vs Common see in tourney.

Saying Spirit of Nature is better than Elixir R is wrong. Though, you can accuse me for being bias, I don’t mind. Caused I am not in the minority that think Nature is better than R period.

The only nerf I want for Nature is remove start CD time when summon. That’s it.

Nope, since now I have found the way to Sync.. So I am having fun taking revenge for all my frustrated back in the day…(insert evil laugh).

Joke aside, right now, I am using SoloQ as a test place for my build in a proper tournament environment since now I get ranked and get team up with decent players.

Elixir R is fine the way it is because it is random and is not as good as it used to be. You won’t see that many Elixir R around in game. Also there are a lot of way to counter it. If you see the Enginen toss Elixir R at low Heath, either you stop heavily attacking until the effect wear off or you push him out of the effective radius and let Condition eat him away. By doing so, you make them wasted the skill. The skill also has super duper long CD 120s CD.

Spirit renewal on the other hand is 100% Rez, 30s CD, can be activated twice in one summoning with trait. And the CD start when he is summoning. There is no argue with you here that Spirit Renewal is way way better than Elixir R because there is no counter play except by killing renewal as fast as you could. Though, even so, they still get one Rez guarantee if the Ranger go down when Renewal die for some reason. You can not see where it is gonna be using his effect on, so almost there is no counter against them.

CC Stunlock and Fear : What they can do is either make Fear and Stun can not be stacked or give out 0.5 s immune to any CC after you have been CC, so that they can not be chained. By CC, I mean Stun and Fear, or any condition that blocked your char out from performing any action.

We are playing with people from Aus/Nz, therefore the practice time will be written in AEST. We practice from 7pm to 11pm AEST whenever we have enough people on to form a team.

Too bad that people playing Necro right now still not accept Necro is OP because they are dominating,and keep everything else in check, save for Op and those who is knowledgable about the current meta.

Seems legit, count me in.

Congrats……

Hey Sol, u are also Aussie, why not join my team…

And the OP never come back….. Well too bad, please let this thread fall into Darkness, and let God has mercy on Op’s soul..Amen.

The thread you just bumped? You knuckle draggers are funny.

listen do you guys have the ability to kill threads with snarky comments that have no substance?… sure. You guys have to realize though its not because you got him lol, but because the op knows they could have a better discussion with a wall there is a time and a place for being a fools like at your dead end job or the one you are looking for so hop of you parents couch get out and smell the roses yolo lol.

Oh the thread already in the first page. Two days ago, it was on the 2nd page but then it got bumped up. Anyway, this is my last for the thread and I hope everyone don’t bump this thread anymore. Maybe Op has realised how stupid this thread is and ignore it as if it never happen on the first place. Bye.

I just want Less Condition AOE Spamming.. AOE Condition Spam is the true Culprit

Lordrosicky.5813:

I take it back. The more I play this meta the more I hate it. Rangers are kittening op and so are necros. I am bored of spam wars. Spirit rangers are worse than necro and s/d thief. But all 3 suck balls and are dull and boring.

Yup. I’m beginning to think necromancer should lose Dhuumfire entirely and maybe even torment. I just want the class to be skillful again. These measured nerfs clearly aren’t working.

Now that is some wise opinion right there. Thank you.

Ah >_>….That is sucks.

And the OP never come back….. Well too bad, please let this thread fall into Darkness, and let God has mercy on Op’s soul..Amen.

Torment is crazy >→ on Warrior…

Cool cool, have your Thief team finished yet?

Oh hey Argan. How u doing

17-1 is a really really finish stats based on luck. It is like one day, you woke up and 1 Biliion USD Tattloto. Sure it can happened but if the rest on LB, are the same stats like that, it definitely not coincidence.

I would take Xeph line and his circle any time over yours, Lord. Caused you know, he is way better player than you. And most of taking being competitive seriously will back up my line.

Yeh I suck ofc.

Although yesterday I had top accounts in the top 10 of the solo leaderboard with each having 25 or more games. When anyone else is good enough to do that let me know.

Argh … we don’t have to go down this road guys.

No we dont. But if someone uses the “you suck therefore what you say is wrong” argument then I am going to respond with FACTS to counter that.

I never said what you say is wrong because you suck. So don’t accuse me with that. Top 10 of Solo Leaderboard right now means nothing, it is broken and u know why? Because people can sync. Xeph has his reputation over the course and a VERY VERY long time, much longer than you. So his information and his PoV is more reliable than someone who raise to the top thanks to a broken system and abusive.

Easy dokey, I use Logitech mouse come with 24 keys on the side. I key bind all prof skill on the key side of the mouse, so I always have access to them with just my thumb. For ultilities, I key bind them as R,X,C. R is for the most regular Ults used, while X is the least and C is the second most used. Works for every class.

5$/month. Too little >_>. Make it 1000$/month, you may get Anet attention.

Note: This post is a sacarsm, please don’t take it srs

My team TGI, True Gamers Invitational contains only players from Aus/NZ, pm me if u are interested.

Gameritous.1352:

What about mesmer, elementalists and thieves? Whos better of these? Thanks !

If you ask me to choose one bw three, I would say Thief since you can gtfo if things get rough. Thief is hard to play well though.

Necro and Spirit Ranger or Engineer, they are at top tier right now. Necro and Spirit Ranger is skill-friendly while Engine has higher skill cap to play it right.

Tyaen.5148:

I promise you, I’m experienced, and I don’t think his idea of bunker is correct. I think what he really means is “not a glass cannon”.

That’s perfectly fine Tyaen as long as you don’t get burst down during the first 10 secs. I just want a good video footage where it shows a skillful condition based engi player that first of all doesn’t get downed quick and most importantly knows how to read his and counter his opponent. When I post the video I don’t want to read comments like “oh you were facing a noob or amateur player of course you will win” you know what I mean? I sent you a mail in game so let me know when it is most convenient for you to have our fun duels ^^

No Burst Eles full rotation can burst me down on their first try even when I am on my bunker Eles or even the entire fight, let alone Engineer.

Bad luck for you I joined in Team Arena, people is pretty competitive there though

Krayiss.4926:

@archaon 60 secs is a nice idea. Ya using teamspeak is pretty lame Ill make a topic about that

i see now you got that idea of banning using ts from where.. Hm nice topic out there….

Yes you are completely misunderstood me, LoL. It is supposed to be a sarcasm. And by God of Game, I don’t mean, Anet or any companies out there or any org or individual, it is simply to say "in the love of game fairness " . That is all.

PistolWraith.6732:

It’s unfair because someone doesn’t have a mic which he could buy for a few bucks? Is it also unfair that some people have better PCs and higher fps? Is it unfair that an old toaster laptop runs the game 10 fps in PvP while others have high end PCs?

If a soloQ team agree to use voip for more effective teamplay, then they’re better teamplayers.

It is unfair that you are richer than me. It is unfair that you have so many friends than me. It is unfair that you are more handsome than me, and the list go on an on…. Troll off ._…..

What is the radius for the AOE? Anyone know?

I am here ._.!!!!

Oh wait for my Engine to lv 80, fully geared, then I will duel you ._…. Can’t say when though

Gotta love them all, right!!!! But I love how some, not all, of this generation pay no respect to the God of Game.

ENGLISHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH PLS !!!!!!!!!!

Were it ever be fun for real o-O?

It is, in fact quite very easy, to have 0 score at the end of the game, like for example, a newbie facing a team of 40-50s. On the other hand, it is also very easy for people to have at least some point, then go afk. While this method sounds good, but it will push new members away from PvP further and has very little to no effect to the real A F Kers

That’s unfortunately not Anet design but people fault. Anet can not do anything.Save urself first before Anet save you.

Hey Aiden, Kanne here. We play together during last SOAC profs. I am a jerk, so don’t team with me ~_~. Joke aside, Frost is a great player, someone fish him up) I would but since I am a jerk, so no luck

Does gay or les count as girl??? >_>….Btw, I am not gay, guy straight 100%…

Bump for OP

I got a better idea “Please ban and delete any unreasonable suggestion and give people who suggest those a warning”….All for a healthier community.

Um… Ok let approach this in a different way since my post was deleted for being rude and provoke players. Here go nothing: "Please dear user, if you would kindly count how many people, strictly speaking in this post, would agree with the idea you post and let me know the number. Your effort would be much appreciated. Also please dear user, next time, please don’t confuse “a lot” and “a few” " Thank you for your patience and have a good day, dear sir

Simple because people just getting better? Again, why make a big deal out of it?

There are actually a lot of animation to tell that Necro will fear despite there is a giant icon or not.

1/Necro stop channeling.
2/Necro raise his hand up.
3/Necro icon pop up

So it does not matter whether there is a huge icon over the top or not. The only thing that I can see that not work on your favour is you can not conceal your position because the icon will give you away. But if you have to use the Fear, it means you are getting stomped already and ops already know your position. So it s not a bg deal at all.
