Guild Wars 2

Honestly, I do…it takes no talent to run pure knockbacks, fears, pulls, w/e

How long do I have to deal with troll Engineer and Necromancer builds in this stupid map? Really?! Remove this map from ranked matches already!

I run something really similar atm:
http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=-ss-o-FCNKVO0g4gL-60;9;6T9T;41895;057AL-k6-JF0CoF2CoF25Bq
But, I’m thinking about running Superior Rune of Rage soon, due to bursting getting rid of the majority of my conditions and the greater damage increase Rage runes provide.
(Or even Superior Rune of Strength)
Also, I wanna try the Superior Sigil of Doom on my longbow over Superior Sigil of Energy, so I can control bunkers better.
Any thoughts?

Mmmm…as a Zerk warrior I have plenty of survivability just through dodges….Signet of Fury + Endurance fill on burst.

Anet…what even?
I will never understand how this ranking system works…

I know the greatsword + axe/mace build for PvE, I’m talking about a PURE axe/mace build.
Something like this maybe?

Personally, I think zerk warrior is the most viable build to run in a fractal or any dungeon, but fractals especially. At higher levels (i.e. 40+) the mobs have a much larger health pool and deal a hell of a lot more damage. To me the amount of time your taking to kill a mob, if quicker will result in less chances to mess up; if longer, will result in more chances to mess up. Also, higher toughness in a fractal isn’t as useful as more damage, since agony ignores armor and instead deals damage based on a percentage of your health.

You wont take agony damage if you dodge well. You should be more concerned about the adds swarming (aka dredge, svanir)

That’s also a point against running toughness in fractals or any dungeon. You won’t take damage in general if you dodge well.

Recently, I’ve been running a pure axe/mace build for dungeons, including fractals. The dps is extremely good and I have plenty of dodges to evade all the major damage; but it’s difficult for me to tell whether or not the axe/mace build I use is the most optimal one for DPS.

Give me any suggestions you might have.

This Engineer chased me half way across the map… Good job DH! Glad you’re still keeping it classy.

Personally, as a Bronze league server, I liked having the PvE player base come into WvW. We got a greater fielding of players for WvW and some people actually started liking WvW and we get some more constant WvW players for the next season.

Truthfully, the reward really is not worth it….first of all the dolyak finisher isn’t even permanent? That’s just plain dumb! If nothing else, that should be changed. If it’s limited use I doubt I will ever use, just because I’d like to be able to see that my server actually accomplished something.
I’ve one other thing to say about this finisher. Why are the PvP tourny finishers permanent when the WvW one is not? I feel like that’s not okay.

QQ same problem…I WANT MY SHINIES!!!

I’ve actually had more problems with the Molten Firestorm than the Molten Beserker. I was running a level 46 yesterday and the Molten Firestorm’s AoE is not only a one hit, and inaccurate but it’s cast time is so quick that it’s nearly impossible to dodge at mid to short range combat. Not only is the Firestorm’s AoE a one kitten, it lingers…I sit in it when downed and unless my party member is incredibly quick on casting a Battle Standard or any of the other rezzes used by rangers or eles and the such I’m insta-downed…
To me this boss fight should not be this difficult on a 46, not when Anet plans on adding higher levels of increasing difficulty in the future.

Happy Thanksgiving!!! or Thursday!!! :P

Hey HOD….you got the treb. You can stop spawn killing now. I mean we get you want to win. We really get it. Cant wait until this match ends. Being outnumbered sucks. Have fun in silver.

All I see when I see these posts…
“QQ My server can’t field better numbers QQ”

Easterbunny.6170:

Here let me shorten that one up for you:

HOD>>>>Bandwagoners>>>>Silver
Bandwagoners<<<<<Hod>>>>>Whaaaaa

I’ve been here since the game came out…. o.o

LOL I’m pretty sure it was one week and it was only because 2 other servers were trying to tank to get us up into silver league….

The QQ is glorious!!

Yo mama so fat she had to trait for fall damage!

Hello all!
I’m writing here today to try and see if any of you awesome people would like to come and join us, Phaze, in Henge of Denravi!
We are a decently sized guild of about 300+ atm and are always looking to have more amazing people join us in our shenanigans!!
We are more of a PvX guild with a good focus on WvW.
We have daily events and lots of great people!
If you’d like to join us then mail me in game (Sal Monder) and I’ll be more than willing to invite you!
HOWEVER!!! You must be able to say YES to these 3 QUESTIONS!! Dun DUN duuuuuuun!!!

1) Are you part of the Henge of Denravi server? If not, are you willing to transfer to HoD?

2) We have 2 required guild events on Friday and Sunday. These events are ONLY required if you are online at the time. Are you willing to do this?

3) We have a server Teamspeak that we use. We require that, during events, you are on the Teamspeak and listening. (You don’t have to talk, but are always happy if you do! ) Are you able and willing to do this?

4) We are a primary guild and require that you rep us at least 90% of the time, and are repping us during events. Will you do this?

If you can answer YES to all these questions then I hope you will mail me in game.

P.S. I’ll be asking you these questions again in game. :P
BYE!!!

Mmmm…fielding better numbers doesn’t mean we have a higher population…
GG kind sir GG

melodyca.8921:

100 man Hod Zergs in each BL. HOD should be in Silver since they have the numbers. Not fun to be outmanned constantly. Want to stay motivated but its not easy.

Too bad we’re still one of the lost population servers. GG GG

One of the main meta builds right now for WvW is 0/10/30/0/30. You can use a variety of different weapon sets with this trait set up. Hammer/ Sword + Warhorn is great for zerging like Chris said; I like to run Hammer/Greatsword which is pretty viable for zerging, but is definitely a set you’d use more for roaming and flipping camps. I’ve recently been using Mace+Shield/Greatsword for roaming as well. The Mace+Shield/Greatsword set makes it harder to flip camps, but it’s a lot stronger for 1 v 1s.

Just a fair warning! Anet is going to be changing this soon and you’ll have to invest at least 20 into the arms tree in order to get “Unsuspecting Foe”.

Hope this helps a little!

More bug fixes and less balancing! Pleeeease Anet!

Still gonna tear kitten up with my warrior!

Okay, so here’s one I’m actually still personally working on…
http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=Vu;4RKkN0_4cKVQ0;9;4T9-9J48A4;34;007;0KF0-JF6qOrTvxtbK-lK7835-VYscn-u0xX0374Da5F-375X07V-17V;9;9;9;9;9;50-6l
It’s great for keeping up boons, especially might, on you and your allies. You’ll do a decent amount of damage and help to keep vulnerability stacks up.
The build has a good amount of toughness and warriors have an awesome base health pool so you’ll have plenty of survivability! Hope this helps

mmmkaykay any particular weapon set or do you want me to do whatever? :P

Depends on what you’re looking to do in the dungeon.
Did you want to do speed runs, be more support, kind of a mix of things?

HoD has quite a bit of WvW/PvX guilds; we’ve got [PHZE], [VLK], [ASTC], [NDA], and a couple others that I’m just not able to think of, but that’s just if you ever think of transferring over to our server.

numbers are fine in bronze during na prime

for oceanic or euro primes … well the higher bronze servers can karma train the lower ones with the 10-20 people they have cuz the lower ones have 0-5

That’s not necessarily true, I fight on HoD for WvW in the Bronze League and have been on during the night hours quite a bit and there’s pretty much no one on for any of the servers.

I
when i enter eb during na late night in this match, i almost always have outmanned and there are 30-40 hod karma training everything on fc’s side (and kain’s) except the keep cuz they arent actually committed enough to either tryhard with siege placement or build 10 omegas and rush it. most of them are pve pugs and prolly wont be there after they finish their shiny new living story content. but youre looking in the wrong place if you claim no one is around.

I’m talking about from 12am to around 4am est, I don’t really know what you consider late night. If you’re talking about from around 8pm to like 11pm then I can understand the 20 – 30 HoD.

thats the time period im talking about, 12am~4am est

I’ve no idea then lol.
Personally, I’ve been on between the 12am to 4am est quite a but but have never seen 20-30 HoD in one place. I’ve never seen a commander tagged up around those hours so if there were 20-30 HoD, I doubt they were all together…

You seem to be very good at avoiding your own zergs then. HoD usually has about 30 people late into the night. We have quite a few also, but HoD can top us.

Lol apparently xP

If you’re roaming you’re most likely going to run into some kind of class with a condi spec, which will devastate you unless you’ve got someone in your party with party-wide condition removal.
Also, I don’t think you need Melandru runes with the amount of stun breakers you’re running.

Personally, I don’t think he needs 15 in discipline for “fast hands” if he doesn’t plan on constantly swapping between weapons.

I’d run something more like this if I were running axe/mace + longbow on swap:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIAQNAnZTjkOJvNP+OMxBCzjhEkiceAFqQeVB7A

“Shake it off” is really situational. You should swap out “Balanced Stance” or even “Signet of Might” over “Shake it off” depending on the mobs/bosses you’re fighting in the dungeon.
