Guild Wars 2

ReaperJr.5967:

It’s funny seeing people qq when they’re bad. Warrior isn’t op pre buff, it isn’t op post buff.

I play warrior and it is op in wvw roaming XD

It just does way too much damage for how much survivability it has

Yup, all warrior snow run Gs+axe shield

Thanks for the replies, although they are all mostly in regards to the statement warrior op, if you read what i put it wasnt about it being op that was mainly a taster of what i was going on to say…
How about this, why do warriors get acces to a second invincibility so easily (second tier trait and there is nothing else that is as viable.)
Anet went about normalising ele’s access to vigour by placing its cooldown similar to other class’s access. Well warrior’s dodge skill has no cooldown and is unblockable; maybe i shouldn’t have said OP more than this onle trait combination with zerker gear that allows for extremely lowrisk for high reward gameplay.

Linky.9178:

OP learn to play. I main thief (and I know mesmer is your main), so quit your crying.

I main memser? Wrong(i have only ever mained warrior, and that was when it was my only character, i play all classes), i’ve never lost to a thief as warrior, and crying ? Again, wrong. merely wanting to see where others are standing in regards to the buffs to somthing that didnt need itmin my eyes.
Post your useless ‘learn to play’ garbage elsewhere.

Link to the build

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/warrior/VIDEO-I-Exy-I-The-Judge-WvW

Ironically a guy just posted a video visualising all this haha :P

Is it just me or has going full zerk never been easier.
The most common roaming build i see is Axe shield and greatsword.
With berzerker stance(or stamina signet) endure pain (x 2 through traits) and balanced stance(or dolyak signet) Traitlines strength dicipline and defence.

With this we get access to condition invulnerability for ‘x’ duration, duel invincibility to Direct damage, Potentially four immobilise mitigations through movement skills on weapons alone. (for example, Axe Burst shield, greatsword 3 and 5)Insane pasive healing, and now further reduced cooldowns on shield, which not only block, but reflect projectiles.
Now this makes you pretty tanky without having any stats that give you armor or gvitality, my fully geared warrior has around 20,000 health and 2600-2700 armor, 2560 power 50% crit chance and 222% critical damage (with food buffs, golden dumplings and furious sharpening stones-toughnes to ferocity convert.)

All of this would be pretty insane on its own, now factor in still beign able to land 9-14k evicerates-similar greatsword bursts, unblockable dodges(not even mentioned on the trait and dont have cooldowns) which have landed 3.7k and more depending on might stacking (which is easy to maintain, 25 stacks achievable through the shield trait strength runes and gs crits give might.)

i felt warrior was pretty powerful prior to this patch, and anet now feels like it needs buffing further?
I play all classes and mainly play roaming/smallscale in WvW and this is just became more apparent to me, am i on my own here haha?

Ele’s main damage is Burning (Celestial anyway).
We need to implement a deminishing Damage the higher the burn stacks go, lets say, after 5 stacks the damage is reduced by 25% per burn stack after, then past 10 50%, etc. Not neccesarily these numbers but some way that stil keeps it viable without making it overpowered by spamming it, yes you guards and engineers.

haha it replaced b u t t h e r t with kitten ?!?!?! da wut

Only thing overly powerful about mesmer atm is Condi users with pu, and the power lock mantra traited. The damage mesmer does now is only increased the same as other classes due to the gear changes and trait stats changes.
Condi mesmer without PU is beatable, and Power mes with pu is beatable.
I play every class and main wvw roaming and pvp.
Pre patch thief was able to maintain perma invis. That wasnt fixed. Why because mesmer is now a viable thing to play is everyone crying? such kitten.

Premades vs full team of randoms ISN’T fair!

Hey thanks for the reply, but i’ve seen all of those, and its all inconclusive, it’s all people speculating on it. No one’s got the numbers, and none of that tells me if it crits.

After hours of scouring the internet i cannot conclusively find an answer to how much damage this does, and how much it heals and if it can crit. (base or with any number of power)

here is it more specific.

actualy pistol shield is still meta i misread it i put bomb+grenade as both are good, no to use both

Basically the same as yours but tweaked a tad.
On a different note, why is pistol shield engi removed from the meta website and replaced with the classic celestial rifle build as of recent?

Eternum.1706:

Do you still run Force + Battle sigils? I feel with Runes of Strength that Battle is even more mandatory than it is on the vast majority of Ele builds, but what are some other alternatives to Force? I’m currently using Force, but I was thinking if other sigils like Strength, Air, or something like that could work out. Don’t know too much about the sigils and how they’ve changed.

Battle and Energy or I would recommend Battle and Air the damage is 900+ every 3 seconds hard to ignore.

Battle is 100% necessary with strength runes. As for air, not so much, you’d be better off getting Bloodlust or Doom (doom only for WvW small scale fights.)

This may be a bit outdated.
Here’s a build i tested and made.
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fFAQJAoYgcMDYCYkjABgBoIlPBbgCIA-TFDEABps/gTKRiS5lgKBxUthEVBRiTAgnqQooqA9pFAgHAgb6ACAcA8bfDglXe5lXe5+93f/93fDA-w

That seems to be an answer of someone who doesn’t give two…
With the TP gem system in the air, the constant server wide dc’s on map change/char change/ dungeon instance entrance attempts and now this abyssal collectors item’s circumstance i think we can safely say there is very little … you know what, what’s even the point of commenting here nothing gets done about it, skyrim time :P

Gaile Gray.6029:

• One of our statisticians just checked the drop rate, and there is no error in the drop rate — it truly is dropping as designed.

Then that’s just terrible design.

Yeah, they must have wanted to displease their player base and screw up the good income they got from collectors buying mini pets (Y)

that happens, i quit gw2 :P

Took long to reply cos he was laughing at us.

How about letting me trade my (useless) 3000, mad king finishers and my 3000 scarecrow finishers for the mini? or what about the <20,000 stacks of ascended materials i have gotten from the bags.

Close to 30,000 bags now and no mini ghost wolf. 5 zuzu’s 3 endless tonics, 36 charged quarts, 2,700 scarecrow finishers, 2,500 mad king finishers.

ugh this hurts my head. I wish Fury applied a bonus to precision rather than adding a plain 20% to the crit chance, would make this a lot easier.
Atm i have 2100 power, 40% crit chance, and 215 ferocity.
However, i have perma fury. And i am thus wondering whether to take some precision away in place of power. Can anyone confirm whether this would give an over all boost to dps, my maths says it would, but i don’t trust myself :P.

Completely agree with you

yeah im not buying mini’s from gem store anymore either

The Low RNG would be fine… If it was the same with every other mini. But why make this one so special. Of course people are not happy, especially collectors.

I love how Gaile justified the rarity by mentioning the Maize vials… people have shown us that even after opening 70 THOUSAND bags they still get no mini, a feat which at this time is still hard as the ToT bags are expensive. Farming ambient creatures this way in order to get the equivalent of bags would probably take longer than it would to just wait for next Halloween. So please explain how this is in anyway a justification?
(I my self have opened 20k and have found 4 endless tonics, and 2 Zuzu’s, nothing else worth mentioning)
Oh wait, not even 70, 82k* precursor drops are better than this.

Also opened ToT bags to the equivalent of having, at the end 2 stacks of 250 candy wrapper. That must be a lot. Gotten two mini ZuZu’s and about 4 endless tonics no Mini ghost wolf though. I have to agree with he prior statements about the supposed ‘accidental’ crazily low drop rate.
You wait and see everyone will have one suddenly after a small patch, and people will rage. Manipulation of the player base, always nice too see.

IF you want healing power the best way is through Celestial, this isn’t true only in the case’s when your build has 0 in the way of condition attacks. So as for guardian, it still has its uses. Iv’e tried about every combination of stats, and with celestial i sit at 3.200 toughness, 2100 power (with 25 stacks bloodlust, which is low but with the condi dmg high precision and extra ferocity its ok) 20k hp, 600 condition dmg, 900 healing, 200% critical dmg and 40% critical chance. This is with 0 0 6 6 2 in traits Im currently now using celestial with full zerker trinkets on a meditation guardian for roaming, and it kicks kitten .

Just made trapper ranger with 3 traps, it’s just too slow… even with the war-horn, having a downtime of more than 50% of the time for swiftness just makes this build bad for roaming, unless you have dedicated teammates to give you swiftness, which just doesn’t happen most of the time. The fact the runes don’t boost the traps in anyway, other than make you +33% faster (swiftness) for 3 seconds after throwing a trap means that you’re only good at sticking too and enemy to stick more traps on them. The invisibility also sucks, as the trap triggering undoes this effect…The running away aspect is also terrible as it lasts 3 seconds… and you use your traps in the fight, so more than likely you will only have the burning trap off cool down, and that’s only 3 seconds to escape, unless the trap pros then you’re screwed. No stun breaker, bad condition cleansing aspects, unless you trait for them (which makes you rely on your pets too much) i am disappointed with this build and wish i could get my gold back. Making the standard signet bow dps build is cheaper and more effective for roaming, and can escape much more effectively which is why we see tons of them. If Trapper ranger can become viable, it’s only if they apply a speed bonus to the runes like traveler, or increase the duration of the 33% speed boost to something more along the lines of 9 seconds on trap placement. making the effects imidiate on deployment would also help.

i cant tell if its working or not, but whn i change it from full screen to windowed i seem to get a sharper image like before, ? anyone else confirm, i remember before sweetfx didn’t work in windowed mode, but maybe not it works in windowed mode?

I read those, it just seems like they are having to ‘sift’ through loads of messages to read some key points that could be highlighted and made to stand out with maybe some options to rate suggestions.

I have always found reading the forum very informative and interesting, and it’s occurred to me that there are always people who have good points to make, questions about the game and potentially great ideas. Dare i include myself as one of these people.

It is apparent on many forums topics that a lot of people seem to feel frustrated(understandably) when their points are not getting across or being heard. Because of this perhaps an implementation of a system on the forum that allows players to submit posts about any bugs they have come across or perhaps make suggestions about possible new features in the game and allow players to up vote or down vote(or rank out of 5 etc.) said suggestions in a way that, when something becomes apparently popular it would be seen by the Dev’s, and as a result the more pressing matters felt by the gaming community will be more noticeable and can be addressed faster, whilst at the same time making players feel less like an unheard voice and possibly helping you guys with some more awesome idea’s.

Also can’t log in…..

I have two legendary’s at the moment and they are both transmuted, i transmuted them without knowing anything about them being upgraded etc there were no warnings in game about this so it will be crazy if thy do not find a fix for it. Especially seeing as they are hard to acquire and tonnes of people have them. A simple solution to this would be to set up a vendor, whom trades in the Transmuted legendary’s for their upgraded counterparts? seeing as the skin is still their, and shows the purple text i don’t see how its not possible?

I’d also like an answer to this, maybe some snapshot of a dev answering or maybe an actual answer as I’ve been unable to find any answers myself.

“If you have a game account for the original Guild Wars, can you play it?”
- No, because the password has been changed since i last played (don’t remember what to or why as it was a long time ago)
“Where are you playing Guild Wars 2 from?”
- Home. (United kingdom)
“At what time and in which time zone do you play Guild Wars 2?”
- Timezone: GMT (London).
Generally from 6-12 weekdays, and at any time on the weekdays.
Had a recurring issue since 3 weeks ago, during the time 7-12 i am unable to gain access to lions arch and hit an error code 7 this also occurs when trying to access WvWvW (i get an error code starting with 7 during the load scree, followed by a dissconect to the character selection menu) , this problem only happens between the times of (approx) 7-11 pm i have tried to access these zones on other computers via my account and even at a different location and had no luck, i have wiped my pc to check whether my PC could be the issue and made sure it was not my firewall, i have also followed all suggestions made by the Admins on the forum, yet had no luck. I can only assume it may be a server issue or perhaps due to the server population at this time.
Another issue i encounter is the ‘unable to gain access to the log in client’ or similar, this window pops up during game play and prevents me from using the black lion trade post( says UN authorized upon opening the window for BLTP) and causes massive chat lag(messages take 2-3 minutes to appear in the chat box).

Had this problem for weeks now, recieved no successful help :/ seen others with this problem too, fixes its self periodically, then will not be able to play again for ‘x’ amount of days/hours upon getting stuck in Lion’s arch loading screen again.

Having the same issue. Two characters stuck when loading into Lions Arch, made two characters to see whether or not the problem was my computer, bt these two new ones get in fine and can load from login screen to lions arch. Yet my two characters i use are still stuck. Been having this issue for a while. (did both methods, the repair, and the msconfig, as i do not have anotehr pc to attemp that method still stuck)

Same issue here….. i can however log in with 2 characters which i created purely for the purpose of seing wether it was just my two lv 80’s who had this issue, and it is…. so frustrating

Exact issue, Grrr asssumed it was my pc acting up and wiped it :C, actualy, it didn’t crash, but say daily there will be a period where LA will be unaccessible for a character, i try to load the map, and it takes forever, i can hear ingame sounds, private message noises, yet not see the screen(except for the LA artwork during load screen), i either crash 6 minutes in with error 7 code, or load the map with intense lag and with very little or few objects fully rendered and then crash. It is not an internet or network issue as every single other map is fine on other characters except LA. Made an alt to see if they could acces it, and a new character can, yet if i swap to one in LA already they cant get in. Perhaps somthing to do with the characters.
