Not yet, but we have a plan and, barring a setback, it will be in before the end of the year. Keep in mind, the solution we are rolling out is just a general solution to make it feasible to make them without running fractals, not necessarily a WvW focused solution.

Don’t forget to add time gated materials within the recipe. Because we love wasting our time at boring stuff.

I can’t follow any sort of guide because Anet seem to change the recipes all the time.

I’m using gw2crafts.net atm. Is there a better up to date guide?

This is just another favour easymode stacking guilds, whith 50%+ guardians with aegis. We needed a counter to stacking groups, and not another benefit for them.

Those points can also be zerged so you don’t have any point.

They going to sit on top of three points with 30+ people on each over three maps?

If they can afford to do that, 150+ stats was the least of your problems.

They go where they need to go. They just need somone to scout and give a report so they can keep otunumbering the weaker server where ever they are.

LostAntem.4897:

Now servers have things like recruiting highly skilled individuals as a priority. It’s not just about the zerg anymore. Send your skilled to each map to help cap the middle points and claim bloodlust. Bloodlust buff could help the underdog servers too. A ton of you are just mad because now suddenly wvw is not all about the zerg.

Those points can also be zerged so you don’t have any point.

Titan.3472:

WvW : war has always been about taking strategic position so these buff are welcome to give this dimension. So yes to all. War is based on strategy organisation only fair fights is all about sport not war spirit. Just people need to make their mind clear about what is really a war is about and stop complaining about its design or go spvp. XD

I don’t see where the strategy comes to play when an enemy can keep covering all points just by having more people than their opponents.

I can’t belive that they did this. Why do they keep giving advantages to the server with the most people?

WvW is ruined for me. I’m fighting on the losing side and don’t have enough people to have a chance to win, and yet they give us more to struggle with.

Jnaathra.6549:

A month or two after release I demoted GW2 to a dabble game. While it was not the only reason, not having more defined roles was certainly on the list. To me the dungeons have never played well and they have always lacked structure and control because of the lack of roles.

PVP (wvw) has also worked the same way. Everything resolves around the big dps zerg train. Heals are underwhelming and always have been. Tanking kinda works in pve but, has no place in WvW.

At the end of the day. I just enjoy having a real purpose in my groups. Thankfully, pretty much every game coming down the pipe and every game that came before caters to roles. So while I might not love GW2, I don’t see any reason to force the trinity back into this game. I’ll just play WOW or ESO or whatever else.

Haha
You have no idea. Bunker (tanky) builds are the best builds for wvw atm. Every strong guild have people with bunker builds. Like Second Law and Red Guard.

Haha, it’s impressive that you actutally manage to play that good with a mouse instead of keyboard. You will be a very dangerous ele if you learn how to use a keyboard instead.

Wow, so less suff to do = more meaning?

No role = no purpose? If antything you only have more purpose here because you are allowed to do more than just one thing. The holy trinity is just a brainless purpose. Heal only, tank only, dps only. So bad… so bad, and a little sad.

I agree. WvW sucks more and more, patch after patch. The removal of culling was the last good patch for wvw. After that it has just gotten worse.

Signet of Restoration still works, it’s just not nearly as good as Ether Renewal.
The passive heal doesen’t take any time at all.
And yes, the healing signet is way more effective + the healing from the spells.
Full cleric gear is terrible.

Water 5 is about a 2.7k heal if you have 1k healing power.

Dunno who auto attacked you. Sounds like a zerker warrior. Slap them back and watch their hp drop.

Attunement swap and dodge rolling is around a 4k heal every 10 seconds with a little bit of healing power. That’s kind of a big deal seeing as how you don’t use your heal skill to get it.

You have to be in combat for dodgeroll effects to work.

(PS: You’re doin it wrong)

No, Ether Renewal is terrible. It is four seconds long which also can be interupted so you don’t get any healing at all. And the four seconds you use to heal up you lose valuable time which you could have used for keeping up the pressure on your opponent instead. You are right about cleric gear thoug.

The point of Ether Renewal isn’t just for the heal. It’s also a massive condi clear every 15 seconds.

If you wait for a condi-necro to use their deathshroud fear and swap out of staff, then they have no other way to stop your MASSIVE heal and MASSIVE condition removal. Condition thieves can’t stop it either.

I mostly rely on the natural heals I get from water attuning, dodge rolling, dagger 5 and 2, regen, soothing mist. Ether Renewal is to help top it off.

Plus, the heal is much nicer than a 5k heal every 25 seconds or the signet.

In terms of keeping up the pressure; when I need to heal, I NEED TO HEAL. Even if I used a different heal that’s still some time wasted when I could otherwise be “keeping up the pressure.”

It’s not very versitile if you only depend on fighting ppl without interupts. And you will never be able to beat me in a duel on ele if you are going to use Ether Renival. You can’t keep enough pressure with that.

You are welcome to try thoug.

Seems to me like Anet doesen’t have the resources to bring us good and funny long lasting content. So instead they feel forced to give us boring time demanding grinds and timegates to keep people play this game. I think it’s rather insulting to us who play this game. We demand better than this. At least i do.

Are there different causes for lag server side? Can there be lag derived from map population (WvW or PvE) as well as lag from server population?

Strictly speaking the lag isn’t due to population per se, it is due to concentrated groups of players using skills on each other. The server calculates things every time a skill fires off and the more people it hits the more calculations it does. So if you get enough people fighting against one another, or even fighting with one another, you start to see server CPU problems.

Maybe if you didn’t allow zerging to be beneficial in wvw we wouldn’t have this problem.

There is alot of ways to fix this, but the wvw staff doesen’t even seem to try.

Your reply makes no sense. You need to understand that a lot of us like large scale combat. If you do not, try roaming or PvP.

It makes perfect sense. This game does not support true large scale combat due to the lag, AOE cap, and lose alot of what could have been tactical positioning. Because everything people have to do is being in a stack and spam 1. This is utterly boring. There is no skill involved in this. But maybe you like this because you like easy mode.

My exotic corrupted transmuted daggers will feel like trash to me.
Why do they introduce even more boredom to the game? Crafting with cd, more grinding, and even timegated crafting. What a joke

You sure know how to kitten up your own game.

Yes, and condition dmg doesen’t show either.

any open in EU?

Halo.8976:

Once died to the lightning while tried to solo garrison. Please nerf.

You can solo garrison with a necromancer?

Okey, nice!

I got hit by lighning for 10,4k total dmg within a minute!
I almost died to random dmg which i cannot avoid in any way. I almost died due to my low hp. Remove this silliness.

http://bildr.no/view/elNIMzlX

Another easymode blober who enjoys 30vs1.

Anet favours the bigger numbers by alot. You can only hit 5 of 30 ppl but all off the 30 ppl can hit you. The aoe cakitten uch a joke. It should go the other way around aswell if they wanted to use the joke aoe cap system.

Every guild/blob group run stacked upon eachother. It’s so ridiculous.

I still like glamour builds.
You will still do alot of total dps with this as you can see in my video.

It’s from today inside Stonemist (wvw).

No, i didn’t test it in combat.

Warriors sprint works outside of combat so why shouldn’t eles do the same?

Windborne dagger doesen’t give 25% speed when i use d/d
Please fix this bug Anet

The Asura always have bad luck …

it’s a little sad, our outfits, outright . = /

Asura is just a pixel on the screen anyway. :P

The heavy looks like it could be T1 armor.
I like the light one thoug.

Only 10 in the arcana traitline. That has to hurt. :P
Very nice stats thoug

It’s boring because it’s way to much about standing in circles.
It’s boring because there are sieges which hit’s for over 50% of my hp. It’s so stupid. It takes no skill to man a treb at all. Some maps also have mobs which give you points if you kill it. And because of the downed system which gives noobish 3v1 players an even bigger advantage.

There is something wrong with the scoreboard when u get points for killing mobs and standing in circles.

Anet have no rules for how to play in wvw. It’s up to us to find our way to play, and try to make the most fun out of it. We can have gvg if we want, and others can interfer if they want. There are no consequences from anet’s side of it.

It’s all fine for me ^^

Can’t wait till they fix mesmers so they get more than 2 bags for a 50 v 50 fight.

Totally ruined that class, except for portals and veils. Only reason anybody plays mesmer which is really disheartening.

Here:

Now go and get your loot ^^

Yes, but this is the thing, you can EITHER go DPS, or help your team. There is no reward for helping your team, which is the entire point of this thread. Thank you for letting it fly completely over your head.. -.-’

The support roles, don’t get loot, which you very clearly pointed out.

Yes, you will probably get less loot if u don’t deal as much DPS as a pure dmg dealer . But you will still get loot. You could find a guild or a group who cares about sharing might stacks. You can get up to 25 stacks of might. That’s 875 more power and 875 more condition dmg.

I also think you will get alot of loot just by spamming staff skill 1 on a guardian because it selects 5 people at random. That makes you able to tag more enemies. You will also attack with a higher frequency than an elementalist.

So i think you should get a guardian if you want to play support.
I’m lvling one myself atm and i got alot of loot just at lvl 12 it was even with a tanky build. My main char is an ele btw which i don’t play anymore cause of all those silly nerfs they have gotten. A gurdian is way better now after my opinion.

You should play guardian i think. They’re quite strong and can be very tanky.

Staff is still terrible in spvp. Firbeall doesen’t don’t even hit for more than 500hp.

Hint: hitting hard is not the point of a support weapon/build.

Hint: A guardian gives way better support in spvp and deal more dmg. So why even use staff ele?

Staff is still terrible in spvp. Firbeall doesen’t don’t even hit for more than 500hp.

I were hoping to see some gameplay and not just talk about different builds. It makes your words less trustworthy if you don’t show us that you can succeed with those types of builds.

Look’s like a nice time for me to lvl my guardian from lvl 1 to 80.
So don’t focus me pls. ^^

Yes, i don’t know why they even bother giving us new content if it is kitten like this. It’s very low quality on the new event’s, and it is very grindy.

There is zero action in these new events. How can they make something so boring?
Who finds these grinding missions fun?
Like: Kill 300 Holographic Minions, Smash 150 Pinatas, Fire 100 fireworks, Consume 250 Zhaitaffy.

Will Fairfield looked bored playing his own game on the stream aswell. Something i completely understand.

I see that this new content is something they didn’t put much work into. They just make us do the missions in these events alot of times to make up for the lack of content.

I can’t log in either. I’ll get the error code 42:1000:7006:888.

spvp is just way to much about standing in cricles. I don’t think you get more skill from that. :P

Aberstone still have a chance to win this. They got superman!

Staff ele is awesome. But high DPS isn’t free. You will have to get some berserker gear for the high dps or else you will hit for under 2k or something with your meteor showers.

I use staff around the 2:00 minute mark in this video.

You probably should’ve dodge rolled through those.

I sit on 60 laurels atm. And I do wvw 98% of the time. Don’t know how you can ignore the daily by doing wvw.

It’s ez when you don’t care about doing the boring pve stuff.
