Guild Wars 2

You need to understand most neco players including myself would love that.

Let me explain. Warriors who do insane damage with no effort got a small nerf where they need a few seconds in combat to build that adreneline. Then lose it. While it takes necromancer a lot longer to fill there bar. If they changed it to it degenerate over time it would mean it would need to fill faster. This would mean we could enter fights without death shroud and an empty bar and within a couple seconds fill it and actually use it more often. This would be a huge buff for us.

Also please visit the below link and read on the warrior.

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/professions/

The longer a warrior stays in combat the stronger they become. This was anets words from before release. I don’t think they actually intended on making the warrior have extra damage for doing nothing.

Sorry a ranger ranged you to death? These forums have to many silly complaints anymore. Warrior or any other class for that matter isn’t supposed to beat every other class every time

Sorry if I misread something but shouldn’t long bow on a ranger by default be better then any warriors ranged weapon? Just kinda makes sense……then again an arrow doing more damage then a rifle bullet barrage should actually do more damage.

But anyways I think the rifle is fine as is for a single target ranged attack for warriors. Only issue I see is that condition damage in wvw and pvp is nice on warrior so removing the bleed in a lot of builds was actually a nerf.

Well I must admit this games best thing is its flaw.

I’m coming from ff 14 a realm reborn. Played the game and loved it. But I noticed……every day I logged in, ran the exact same dungeon twice, logged off. Did this daily for the best armor. It wasn’t fun. But getting that new armor was great. I was strong and powerful. Then right after new dungeons came out with better armor, then I had to repeat. I had to keep doing the same boring thing over ABC over and over and realized this is the game forget it I’m going back to gw2.

Gw2 is very fun and exciting and has some challenges. If I don’t want to run a certain dungeon owell don’t need to. But it leaves that issue, never getting stronger,never feeling like I’m progressing. So it’s hard to say which ideas better. Truthfully if they added harder content then it would require a greater reward. People who are pure casual would become upset, and then this game would be like every other mmo out. They need new content though for sure not the living world but an expansion.

I mostly run open world pve 6/6/0/1/0 with sword/dagger and longbow. I use dagger for the dodges because I can’t dodge with auto attacks unless I want to manually attack which I prefer not to.

But that’s not my issue. I just feel like I never do enough damage. I have zerker gear, runes of the scholar, all accessories are zerker except one ring.

I feel the sword auto attack chain needs a small buff. Thoughts?

Awesome thanks a lot. Wasn’t 100% sure.

Do ascended and legendary weapons go into the wardrobe? Wanted to know before making one. Thanks

I take that back account name is sylentslayer characters name is white dragon

I think you switch at the character select screen. Typically in week days after 6 pm eastern. On and off throughout weekends. In game name is white dragon

Also pvp. Heart of the mists you become level 80 right away with the best weapon and accessories to choose from. Wvw recommended level is 40 for traits.

Elementelist is one of the harder classes to be good with in the game. Warrior is the easiest. But you really need something to fit your play style. If your in my server isles of janitor I’d be more then happy to talk in game and help ya out with things

Level 80 gear can be crafted, bought through the trading post, or from karma. Armor from dungeons is also level 80 gear. So you can do that to. We use transmutation charges to just change appearance.

It’s a lot different from wow the games not about gear it’s about skill and team work. It’s a lot of pvp and wvw at level 80. After level 80 gear there us legendary armor and weapons though. They are barely better in stats just more of an accomplishment type item

The new leveling system you unlock things more slowly making it helpful for new players.

This game is not a traditional mmo. Once you hit level 80 is not….log in, run same 5 dungeons daily, log off repeat til tomorrow for the best new gear coming out every 3 months.

Instead at 80 you get the best armor pretty cheap. Then just play. You do dungeons only if you wish to for new armor skins. Or weapon skills. There is also world bosses in zones people complete for items for ascended and legendary gear. These bosses take 5 to 10 minutes and spawn every couple hours.

So don’t play ranger…….

Right, im trying to find my 15th heart. I cant find it. I have every other heart

So there used to be a heart west of the waypoint into molensk. Its not longer there for me on an ult. Where the heck is the new heart? I explored everything on the map but can not find where this is now. Please help.

First page in balance forum.

Rangers op, necromancer op, engineer is op, memers are op.

Everyone in this game is now op? I mean come on people. Every single time you die other class is op. You aren’t a good if you die you died get over it already.

Really are people going to start coming on here crying when a necros bone minion kills them they are to op now. To people complaining I’ve never seen such a fair balance patch.

This is a game where each character is supposed to do each thing not one character (your character) kills everything every time. Yes ranger finally got a needed buff. But one single dodge timed right, a stealth, a lunge, or a reflect skill your fine. It’s your choice to get killed or not by the arrows. Omg engineer killed me they op. If they are so op try playing one. They take a lot of skill. When an engineer owns me i don’t whine i say wow good engineer wish i could play one that well.

I’m just getting getting tired of these complaints already! Sorry your class didn’t get a buff, they didn’t get buffs for a reason though. They didn’t need it. Why? Because obviously they were strong enough and you were just used to killing certain classes to much and thought you were pro.

I strongly agree. I was just thinking earlier how much I’d love to put my pet away and get a % buff. I love everything about the ranger except the pet. Maybe if the pet always worked that’s one thing. But it doesn’t, we should have the option. Those who like the pet ok fine your not effected by this.

Level 18 using s/p and i am just struggling to stay alive. I am dodging but running out of endurance, using my pistol whip to evade attacks but running out of my imitative fast. I truly do enjoy the class and play style but really am having a hard time staying alive against multiple enemies which I’ve never had an issue with other classes.

Once i do hit 80 does invigorating precesion make a pretty large diffrience with staying alive? Or if I’m having a tough time at level 18 am i always going to have a tough time?

Curious if fiery wrath (10% extra damage to burning foes. And radiant power (10% extra damage to enemies with a condition) stack with each other for 20% extra damage to burning foes.

Ok so sounds pointless in pve thanks. Know what to trait now

Sorry if this sounds like a silly question.

When it states you gain bonus damage if your revealed does that mean any time I’m not stealthed? Or is there an actual condition called revealed? Just wasn’t sure. Wanted to know so I can just do 25/30/0/0/15 or just do the 30 in DA

Bomb kit though is basically melee though right?

So would i want something like a 2/6/6/0/0? Or something else. Thinking this would help with condition damage. Grenade kit looks like fun to.

Was thinking about making one for solo open world pve. But looking through the skills seems they have some awful damage?

Wanted to go pistol shield. What kind of builds do i use to get the higher end dmg? Looks like ranger even hits higher. Any tips here?

Sorry, simply open world pve, and world bosses.

I typically run sword focus, or sword torch. I was curious what would be best for healing if needed. In combat.

Mace shield
Or greatsword with the zealous blade trait to heal 5% dmg dealt?

Love my guardian torch. 4 does great damage if you don’t need the burn. 5 is great people don’t realize it does some damage on mobs along with 2 burns, and if allies around removes conditions like crazy. Dunno how torch is so under rated. Switch between it and my focus all the time

To answer your question the nerf will not make to huge of an impact. You can fill adreneline still very fast. Still going to be most op pve class by far i think.

I play both….. so here’s my opinion.

Ranger. Best open world pve, can solo most bosses with ease. Veterans won’t touch you. I used sword/dagger and long now. Animation with sword I’d awesome, best dps on ranger, but the lunge can be a nightmare. Wvw with long bow is a blast. I did however lose intrest due to the pet. I prefer doing all my damage on the enemy i want, not relying 20% on pet that’s a pain at times. But it’s worth a go. By 40 you will be very certain if you like or not. Past level 40 zones you really see the ranger isn’t that powerful in my opinion.

Guardian
Solo pve i love using sword/torch. Nice blindes, easy vunurebility, nice little ongoing heal. Dungeons and wvw i feel like I’m actually assisting the team with shouts and doing more then sitting back with a bow. Guardian though is a bit sluggish but get used to it.

I personally liked guardian play style more. Felt like better dps, the burning is fun, the utility helps everyone. If ranger had option to hide pet and increase all dmg by 20% I’d pick ranger. But as we can’t i find myself in my guardian much much more

McWolfy.5924:

Do you want to backstab somebody with a GS?
I want new weapons in first line. I want to play bunny thumper once more!
Btw alternative skills are not bad idea

Not sure if you played gw1 but like gw2 a lot of skills could still only be used with certain weapons. So nackstab would still only be doable with dagger

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/List_of_warrior_skills

Who remembers when we use to actually make real builds? I forgot how much fun it was actually picking our soils. Not only being able to use the exact few skills over and over. Our traits now are more complained yes. But wow was this many options fun. Each weapon for each class needs to have 2 or 3 options i think. I’m getting bored hitting the same key over and over with each class.

Mesmer who knows. Mesmer is very deadly if played right. Which worries me of nerf. But the average player does just ok now so who knows

I guess I’m one of the few not going to complain about one thing at least.

I find the warrior nerfs very over due.
Guardian might add some funess
Ranger I’m happy with
Daggers do need to cleave great update

I don’t get all this hate. These are needed updates. Most classes are getting small buffs and mega op class the nerf. Just want to say nice job!

Each auto attack should get like 7% dmg increase i think. Or they need to make the sword skills a little more useful. Unless you have conditions build which is rare then the sword skills are just pointless.

I have a question. Right now I’m running a sword, i feel the damage is great but not very fun to play, i was curious if I use a greatsword and the trait two handed training would the dmg be better then sword? Anything else i can do to make it better then sword?

Skills are more useful on greatsword and i feel I’m always using all of them. Not with my sword though.

Will the new damage buff also be enough you think to make greatsword another option?

I’m afraid of the same thing. I hope they don’t as the dagger isn’t overpowering right now even with 2 targets

For strictly solo open world pve necromancer is great. Save warrior for dungeons. If you plan on doing dungeons then mesmer. People also state mesmer us better wvw which may be true but the way your expected to play isn’t fun.

Overall i like my necromancer much more. They do great damage with d/d build and can survive well. I do a well build. 20/30/0/20/0 and have a blast in pve

I keep seeing on forums new changes coming for a few classes and discussiona about it. Thief dagger changing, done things on warrior and ranger buffs, but i can’t for the life of me find this “upcoming balance changes” thread anywhere on the forums. Where can i find this?

Little off topic sorry but can anyone tell me where these preview notes even are?

Is there any way to farm these on my main for my ult? If so where and any estimates on how many i can get an hour?

I saw in spvp but I’ve never actually done it before though so not sure which mode is fastest for this. Any tips would be great

Hitman you are playing by far the most op class in game and actually saying a necromancer needs a nerf. Please try playing a class to 80 before complaining about it. A necromancer requires some skill not button mashing like warriors. You lost a fight because they strategically played better then you. Get over it.

Next move, remove rangers pet it knocked me down. Enough said.

I haven’t seen these new armors have a link?

Ouch only like 6 levels for 400 cooking. That’s a change from before

Just curious if someone can give me some up to date info haven’t crafted for a year and a half. I will be using crafting boosters as well.

What 3 crafts are the cheapest and estimated price?

About how many levels will i gain going from 1 to 400 in a craft?

Working on an ult and really not enjoying it as much as my first characters for open world pve.

Yea I’m not new. I’ve spent hundreds however none for a skin though, hopefully they’ll help out

Heritage armor is unlimited uses without any stones required. That’s where I figured a paid skin would be the same

I just spent $10 on the trickster light armor skin, and applied it to my level 11 necro. Afterwards realized my stones were missing. I bought thing assuming it would be like heritage armor with unlimited uses. I would not have spent $10 on a skin knowing it cost money every single time I want to keep applying it. How can I get a refund?

Penarddun.6827:

I have a Mesmer main and recently just started up a Necro and all I keep thinking is how easily mobs die on the Necro and how I never seem to die.

I love my Mesmer and have spent a long time tweaking her to be as good as possible, but I was surprised how well the Necro seemed to play. So for solo map completion I would recommend Necro. Also they get a better speed boost.

Ended up with my necro thanks. Thanks everyone else to

Well I’m not doing any dungeons actually

Hey there. Doing solo pve going for map completion. I doing know which to decide maybe help?

I understand mesmer is slow, and I read shatter builds aren’t as good for open world pve and mesmer is much more squishy. I’d mainly want sw/sw.

I heard necromancer is good but minion a I is so bad hard to be minion master. Would a d/d combo still work well without minions? Or should I still use minions with that combo. Can anyone recommend which would be better for open world pve?
