Here’s the last of the fights I recorded Saturday with Ark and VR running together. Last clip is against NS.

The music.. nooooooo nooooooooo. Thanks for posting it though, now I have to wash my ears out with soap. <3

So many posts keep getting deleted, it’s like Orwell’s 1984 up in here, IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH. I’m waiting for the Guild Wars 2 propaganda posters.

Ah well, I won’t be on for the rest of the week, gotta drive from FL to CA. See mags again next week <3 Maybe we’ll be able to get people onto a map at some point.

Haha np, that was the reaction I was looking for with the music. I guess Rick Rolling people isn’t a thing anymore, no one gets it.

GrahamW.5397:

Tricare i’m still waiting for that whisper if you wana duel ill be on for another hour.

There’s a reason I asked what bl and time he was roaming. I don’t care to duel anymore, everyone changes up their build/skills for the class they are about to fight. However, I’m about to log on in 10, I’ll whisper you.

The attempt just now at garrison … had siegerazer too.

Wat

My guess is they had trouble killing 1 guardian from mag…….. so of course it must have been siegerazer……

Robot Chocken.7012:

Still haven’t told me where and when you roam…….. scared? I haven’t seen a single HzH tag this match up.

Robot Chocken.7012:

Hopefully the Anet gods will answer our prayers and the pve AP hunters will take the night off so we can set up open field with Agg and EP. Unlike Mag they will not run from 25 ppl.

I heard HzH has training 7 days a week, so if they lose it wasn’t a real fight.

Why is Maguuma so bad at roaming?

He was even roaming the ruins by himself, tagged up to make himself a more enticing target.
You guys got to pick up your game.

That’s something Maguuma needs to address internally. Except for a few very skilled roamers I’ve seen some real shrubs trying to roam from Mag. They are getting to the point where I don’t even run if I’m using my group play build and gear.

OK, I’ll fire a whisper off to every single person on Maguuma so that we may fix this problem internally. It’s bad enough at least half of them aren’t putting covers on their TPS reports.

LOL, considering that 44.2% of all Maguuma PvF is relating to roaming and prowess at roaming; you kinda own the problem.

If I were to brag (for example, not actually bragging) that SoS had the best engineers in the game; and you stomped everyone of them you found, you’d probably bring that up.

What BL and time do you roam? I’ll give you a spanking….. And not in the kinky way… Well maybe….

Here’s a the few fights I recorded Saturday night. Some VR ran with Ark. I like the last fight where they just war banner and run.

Props to Ark for these fights and guest guilds.

No excuses here really, training a bunch of new folks and running with a bunch of militia, you guys are a good force to try and counter.. er.. feed bags to and learn from. Any videos of any NS encounters from that night?

Love to see you guys in a non formal way again, hopefully we can get some of our core on later in the week queues permitting. You guys staying in JQBL most evenings?

I have one I think but, it looks like we slightly out number you. I don’t like adding those videos, I can upload it if you would like.

Brutal Arts.6307:

Grats JQ. You surely earned this.

It’s really ticking me off that people are acting like this towards JQ as if we wanted this, or that this is our fault. Truth be told, we’re not having fun either. We never wanted a lopsided match-up, that’s not fun for you and it’s not fun for us. If you’re going to blame anyone for the match-up, blame ANet or the Leagues system.

Anet doesn’t make JQ buy guilds to come to their server….. do they?

Robot Chocken.7012:

You think you know better how cute..

I remember running into some of you HzH guys, had a 3v4 against 2 of you. You lost.

dreztina.4820:

I’m actually enjoying this matchup more than I thought I would. I figured it’d just be nothing but zergs and I’d have to run with a big guild to do anything, but that hasn’t been the case. There are actually lots of people running solo/small man from JQ. They’re insanely bad, definitely a contender for least skilled server I’ve ever gone against, yet still oddly willing to run around alone. I don’t think solo roaming has ever been this profitable. Going to be a good week.

It’s the reason I wanted to be in gold. May not get any good 1v1’s but you will sure get a lot of 1v2-3 that are winnable.

Robot Chocken.7012:

Snafu.7412:

Guardians is obviously the answer.

LOL! VR had much larger numbers than our guild had on the map. Condition removal is the answer guardians are best at that. Please Keep in mind it took VR and INC just to take on NS or HzH alone with any success. VR had more of their guild out than either of ours.

Yes, bring more condition removal… that’s what was killing you.

SweetCream.8051:

Fixed maybe.

I like roaming with both classes.

Here’s a necro roaming video:

Here’s a ranger roaming video:

Both classes bring a lot to the table, just depends on your play style. Ranger can be up close and in your face while necro tries to stay back and dish out damage.

Elvahaduken.3609:

I like the music for sure, gameplay wasn’t that bad but signet of the locust? wtb stun breaks also not once in the first 7 mins i watched did i see you locust swarm to transfer condys, could have saved you a few times.

Thanks man, I like the music too. I’ve only been a necro for about 3 weeks, so either I’m op or something else is.

I did some testing awhile back, found some things that I think should be fixed.

This is for that special person out there on TC……

Title says it all….

The roaming build I liked to use is 10/0/30/10/20 full apothecary gear.

Here’s a short video of it in action.

Tricare.2946:

Here’s some roaming from the weekend. Shows some sweet thief skills and a 3v4 vs EP at the end.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WIHcLtPPvo

Lol @ those 2 thieves….. See what I did there?

Solo roaming is much more enjoyable than duels.

First, getting a 8k back stab out of no where puts you on your toes and makes you react pretty darn fast or you’re dead. So the randomness of it is very nice.

Second, with arranged duels, you see people put on different food buffs, change the skills on their bar and get ready for the class they are about to fight. It changes the whole fight entirely.

Roaming and finding same numbers (or what I prefer +2ish) is much more enjoyable because you never know what to expect. Which is the reason I was upset when they added the class icon next to your opponents portrait.

nagymbear.5280:

What’s your experience with Geomancy in wvw? I did use Geomancy for a while but it bugged out sometime and didn’t proc at all. I had no on crit sigils at the time, so it wasn’t that.

One problem people have with the sigil is they use two different on-swap sigils, and they don’t work at the same time. You’ll only get the proc from one of them.

Honestly I don’t even think this guy want’s to know what ranger build the guy was running. I told him a build/showed him a video of a ranger regen build and he just keeps talking about how awesome he his.

Those builds above my post are not close at all to what the ranger you’re talking about was running. Here’s a video of me running the regen build, it’s been awhile.

Most good rangers have dropped the full regen build for more dps though. The build is 0/0/30/10/30 full apoth gear.

Jabronee.9465:

The main trick to kill Rangers (especially Regen Rangers) as a Thief. Is simple.
Stealth stealth & kill both pets. And the Rangers would be left with just regen with pathetic dps. But if you attack the Ranger mainly then he will always be ahead of you while his pet screw you up real good.

Sorry, but going to disagree with this. Pet can be swapped every 15 seconds and regen rangers run the troll heal which also heals the pet. So unless you can drop the pet through the heal in under 15 seconds, that’s not going to work.

My favorite part is, we got a 4 second reveal.

They got a blast finisher on blinding powder, so all they have to do is steal from us drop the healing spring and get a nice 2-3k heal plus condition removal and stealth.

So…. SBI….. still want to go to gold?

I really hope all the Maguuma commanders are bracing for a WvW population drop-off if we actually reach gold tier. I know that many people are not looking forward to a potential match-up vs. the zerg servers with far better numbers for their WvW populations. Anyone that does not realize that gold tier will be dominated by JQ, SoR, and Blackgate are fooling themselves. I may go out a little, but I will not be hour after hour just getting annihilated by the sheer volume of numbers. No thanks.

Oh yeah, and thank you to the commanders on Maguuma that had the nerve to say I am worthless just because I am a realist in wanting to have better match-ups in silver over gold. Every time one of you open your mouth, you make me regret that I moved here after you all sold me and my friends oceanfront property in Kansas.

Good Fights, losing matches > PvD all week, win Matchup. Being outnumbered is more fun than outnumbering.

Being outnumbered 3-1 or 4-1 is NOT fun under any circumstances.

How do you figure? Being outnumbered 3:1 or 4:1 is the BEST way to learn how to get better and fight harder.

How can anyone LEARN from getting killed constantly in those odds? What are you smoking and can you pass it over please?

Here’s some 2v4 fights for ya….

Rennoko.5731:

I think it should be restored to pre-nerf status (after the 50% buff and before the last damage nerf), and they should remove burning from the Spite tree.

You didn’t answer the mans question…

Glass cannon rangers are horrible. Every other class can do it way better.

^ this guy knows some stuff!

aww thanks!

Making some sweet sweet love to FA……..

Well…. this is how our fights are going in Mag BL…

Entangle isn’t op, it is only very effective if used right. Otherwise, it as a LOT of issues.

Stealth being one of them.

Nope. Those same people that do that much damage, get killed in 1-2 hits.

Yuna.3512:

I think I may have corpse jumped on a Maggy sore spot!!

yeah, why don’t you 1v1 him? Or even 1v2, you would probably need the help.

Watch a necro roaming video. They are awesome in anything they do if played right.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okygEMfhps8

This isn’t solo or duo roaming.

so the three clips with 2v2, 2v4 and 2v4 were not duo roaming?

Watch a necro roaming video. They are awesome in anything they do if played right.

Reset night has nothing to do with your…….. playstyle.

Calling in 2 other guilds before even attempting to engage an even/smaller force is a….. unique way to play.

It’s doubtful anyone “calls in” other guilds on purpose. I’ve never heard it on teamspeak. What happens is people see orange swords, or someone is simply reporting scouting info (X mag headed to Y) and people come to investigate/fight.

Heh, sure looks like it when you see a guild of 30+ staring at you and only move when another guild group shows up.

Hmmm. Let me rephrase my original post.

Great fights to Ark. I just wish we could have had more of them. You guys seemed really good.

There. A post that really shows what my thinking was.

gvg

gvg all week, everyday if you wanted, that is, unless you, or speaking generally anyone is scared to unblob to fight even numbers.

If my guild had more than like 3 serious WvWers…. xD

so you (DDLG) want more fights from a guild of 20 while running around in a zerg of 50-60 players. got it.

apologies in advance if i’m misrepresenting you.

No, I think you got it spot on.

Super fun fights in Mag BL from SBI. We had a lot of good fights with RET from FA. Everything was super exciting, and the fights kept coming!

Although [Ark], you guys do great feints. We just wish you had actually fought us, instead of feinting over and over again, and then running away when we moved towards you.

Anywho, super depressed that our PPT has hit so high. We were all super close in score at the start, and the leade was shifting to each other so often. It was a blast.

Hope we have a lot more fun fights. Just wish we didn’t dominate at this hour. No fun for anyone.

Ark maxed out at 20 people tonight. Got difficult dealing with a 40-man of SBI and FA rolling around, so we were trying to force a split to kill half of your blob in one bomb. Worked quite a few times, too.

We’d love to do more even fights, though, if you’re interested.

Yeah, I did think we outnumbered you, but never by that much. (Hard to tell with the names all in one spot), I just remember that even during the treb fight, you guys feinted like… over 10 times… xD

But even when you got VR as backup, you still seemed super afraid of hitting us.

Like in the pic, we don’t seem to have very much, and you guys sure seem to. xD

lol really? that is just half of the people with you. The other half was behind the gate that we just took down.

Stop being a…

SBI is full of scared zerg guilds that can’t do anything on their own.

Blink doesn’t clear immobilize, they just move locations and are still rooted.

immobilize is a condition, stun-breaks shouldn’t do anything to it, that’s fine, it’s the hard counter to stability.

Complaining about immobilize is the wrong way to go, if you want to complain about something, complain about the timed condition clear we have.

Oh and if you have sword/dagger on you have 3 evades that you can use while immobilized, so there’s always that.

Sounds like someone needs to go to the necro forums and ask for advice on how to play their class there.

Unless you have JQ PPT mentality…

I prefer to win.

What are you winning? Boredom?

The sword/dagger is more for defense than damage, but you can stack 20 seconds of poison and 3 stacks of bleeds which is very awesome.

You can use sword #1 to stay on your target if you have to. Sword #2 is your gap closer or get away tool. Sword #3 is an extra evade. Then dagger adds an extra evade and some nice bleeds/cripple.

Also, shortbow is boring to me, really all you do is auto attack and save your #5 for their heal.

I would agree with sword #1 and #3 skill but #2, I would say it’s more of a get away tool. You cant leap back and jump forward in time to catch anyone.

It’s possible and I do it all the time. Last fight in this video.

Entangle has a lot of issues.
