[tPvP] Condition shatter build?

in Mesmer

Posted by: Steinpilz.5078

Steinpilz.5078

Does someone know a shatter build for getting stacks of torment and confusion on people fast?
Shatter builds most are for direct damage, but I would like to try with a condition shatter build.

How do YOU manage to get rid of conditions (PvX, WvWvW)?

Golem Chess disabled?

Why was the Golem Chess in Soren Draa disabled?
For role-players that was great.

Time for new class

Bard and some unarmed melee class.
Maybe something like elemental fist, a class that fights without weapons but gets different attacks depending on element atonement.

tPvP Mesmer build - any good?

in Mesmer

Posted by: Steinpilz.5078

Steinpilz.5078

So I made this build for tPvP.
Idea is to do physical as well as condition damage.
Suggestions?

Longbow or shortbow or both?

in Ranger

Posted by: Steinpilz.5078

Steinpilz.5078

When I want to make a power damage based ranger, should I go with longbow or with shortbow?
Because longbow hits harder but shortbow hits faster.
Or maybe I should use both?
But then I have no melee weapon…

Dear A-Net, could you please give us an option to deactivate the display of commander symbols?

DS changes?

Steinpilz.5078

Wasn’t there something in the patch notes that you change to ds when otherwise you would die?
I just was in PvP to test that out but did not see it happen.
Do you need a talent for this?

Idea for player driven housing and economy

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Steinpilz.5078

Steinpilz.5078

My idea is that there should be an island were you can buy land and build a house on, but it should not be instanced like the home in your city.
On your land you can plant and harvest materials that cannot be acquired in any other way and cannot be sold via trading post either but only from player to player.
In the middle of the island should be a big market place where you can have your own kiosk and sell your goods.

I would love to see new classes, especially a bard class.
And the possibility to combine classes.

Being level 80 is boring

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Steinpilz.5078

Steinpilz.5078

You level so fast that you have seen less than 10% of the world when you hit 80.

So go out and explore the world.

  • map completion and all the different events
  • achievements
  • ascended equipment with a few legendary weapons

Should keep you busy for another 1000 lvl ups.

I have 100% of the map with 3 characters.
I also have every job on 500 with the exception of jeweller and cook (both on 400).
What I would love to see are new classes (bard for example) or the possibility to combine 2 classes.
New big maps without that jumping thing from dry top and the possibility to reach higher levels than 80 would also be great.
I want to develop my characters in some way.

Being level 80 is boring

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Steinpilz.5078

Steinpilz.5078

There is not enough content for level 80: you can go WvWvW (which I don’t like), or do tPvP (which gets boring after some time), or you spend your time farming worldbosses or champions in Orr.
In short: you repeat the same things over and over again.
I would love to see some more player vs player content with large groups fighting against each other on bigger maps, not just 5 vs 5 battles on small maps as it is now in tPvP.

Idea for tPvP

in PvP

Posted by: Steinpilz.5078

Steinpilz.5078

What if there were copies of normal maps modified for pvp?
For instance there could be a copy of the Metrica map with all the waypoints being positions to capture and defend.
Players enter the map as part of one of 2 fractions, red or blue and you can port to all waypoints captured by your fraction but not to a waypoint that is held be the other fraction.
You can enter as a solo player and become part of one of the fractions randomly, or you enter as part of a team, then all are in the same fraction.
Perhaps it would even be possible to enter as a guild so that guilds could fight against each other?

PvE/tPvP Shatter Build

Question: Is it possible to make a successful tPvP condition shatter build?
With Illusionary Retribution and Maim the Disillusioned one should be able to stack confusion and pain fast, especially with the new sceptre auto attack.

PvE/tPvP Shatter Build

Steinpilz.5078

Shatter builds aren’t meant for PvE, they’re almost entirely inferior to Phantasm builds.

For PvP, ya may wanna check this out: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/mesmer/Supcutie-s-Comprehensive-PvP-Shatter-Guide/first

Thank you for the link, I did not know that phantasm builds are used for PvE.

Steinpilz.5078

I need a shatter build for PvE & tPvP, but I’m not experienced enough to create one.
I would like to play with greatsword and sword/focus if possible.
Does someone know a good build?
Is it possible to combine shatter with phantasm damage, first let out the phantasms and after they have done their attacks shatter them?
How do I best get rid of conditions without a torch?

[tPvP] Staff/Lightning Hammer?

in Elementalist

Posted by: Steinpilz.5078

Steinpilz.5078

Tried it a long time ago and it didn’t work.
- You deal a lot of damage with your staff attacks

Does anybody use staff in pvp?

[tPvP] Staff/Lightning Hammer?

in Elementalist

Posted by: Steinpilz.5078

Steinpilz.5078

Anyone here who uses that combo?
I think about creating such a build, idea is to be able to fight at two ranges: first seek a good position and do AOE damage with staff and than switch to LH.
But my experience with ele is limited, so I don’t know if that would really be going to work...

Request for some skins

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: Steinpilz.5078

Steinpilz.5078

After the feature patch I plan to create an Asura girl Mesmer and I want to do some roleplaying with her.
So I would like to have some proper cloth & weapon sins.

For the cloth I thought upon a pantaloons like this this and a shirt with such arms.
With this should come a cooking shirt with some funny motive.

For the weapons I would request skins that give weapons the appearance of cooking tools:
- a rolling pin skin for swords (should look funny with Mesmer sword skill 2 :-D)
- a cooking spoon skin for scepter
- a pastry bag skin for pistol
- a swizzle skin for torch
- an outsized scoop for greatsword
and for staff and focus I lack an idea :-(.

Would be glad is I could buy that stuff in gem shop.

I’m really bad with my thief and don’t want to go in the normal tPvP matches.
I thought I could train in hot-join, but this seems impossible: people leave the group and joint the other group, it’s a just chaos.
Can someone give me an advice how to train for tPvP?

[PvP] Keyboard setup

in Thief

Posted by: Steinpilz.5078

Steinpilz.5078

Maybe increase the rotation speed of camera or your mouse sensitivity…But you also need swiftness if you want to appear behind the enemy!(set at traits)

Which traits do you suggest?
In the acrobatics line are IV Assassin’s Retreat and VI Fleet of Foot and the minor trait Expeditious Dodger.
None of them is in any of the thief PvP meta-builds, but perhaps I would be more successful with one of them…

What do you use in PvP?
I have an European keyboard, use WASD for movement and QE for turning the camera.
But I have difficulties to strafe around the enemy as I see other thieves do.
Maybe setting camera to AD would help?

Steinpilz.5078

I try the sword/dagger build now.
I find that even with Infiltrator’s Return I have a problem to get rid of conditions.
Would it be a great damage for the build if I would substitute Mug for Shadow’s Embrace and Shadow Refuge for Blinding Powder?

Steinpilz.5078

I have a little cute Asura thief that I love.
I cannot imagine to re-roll her as another class or to play another character.
But I’m not one of those guys who can dodge everything, I’m too slow.
Therefore my thief needs some toughness, live points, healing and an option to get rid of conditions.
So - what is the best thief build for a guy like me for PvE, dungeons and fractals up to around 20?

[PvP] Decap Engi build on Reddit

in Engineer

Posted by: Steinpilz.5078

Steinpilz.5078

I have an engineer now and would like to try some tPvP.
So I looked up the decap engi build on Reddit but I must say I don’t understand this build: why does it not contain any towers?
I always see Engineers with towers in tPvP, they bunker a spot and it’s almost impossible to get them down.
Those guys are always surrounded by towers, so why does the Reddit build not use any?

Bag that only accepts what you put into

Posted by: Steinpilz.5078

Steinpilz.5078

I Think Steinpilz means a bag in wich absolutley nothing goes in without you manually putting it in. You have the Invisible bags which do not show the stuff in it to the vendor however this bags just gets filled with everything you loot and you have to organize it manually.

Exactly.

hopefully not, as that would be about the worst request of all time.

You must not buy one if you don’t like it.
I would like to have that option.

Bag that only accepts what you put into

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Steinpilz.5078

Steinpilz.5078

I have an elementalist, a guardian and a thief.
Each of them carries several weapons with her for different situations and I always fear to accidentally destroy one of them.
Also when, for instance, I switch from to scepter/focus to staff with my ele, the sceptre and the focus end up somewhere in my luggage.
Therefore I would love to see a bag that only accepts an item when you manually put it into the bag.
Perhaps the lion trading company could offer something like that?
