Epi isn’t a problem, deal with it.

Sure… not a problem… yeah…

Looks more like a confusion problem. Necros can’t stack confusion.

Also like is said, people use to build their party/groups around condition cleanses for each other. Now it seems people are relying on Resistance Boon and putting off condition clears.

I can link a bunch of videos of GvGs where we tried condition bombs. They were never really effective because there were too many condition cleanses being tossed around by the enemy team.

Not much as changed with conditions. The only thing that has changed is the play style, which apparently has less group cleanses.

I like DH better. I think the F skills provide a lot more utility. F1 with the stacking burns and pull (pulling people back through your fire field is fun) and F3 for the blocks are worth it alone, and then F2 Is awesome.

Wanted to mess around with a burn guardian and test out Balthazar runes vs Guardian tunes.

IMO if you can get about 20% condition duration from trailblazer, I’d say 80% burn duration is enough and Guardian Runes are better in a lot of situations.

Here’s a video, if I’m using a focus, I have Guardian runes on. If I have a shield, I’m running Balthazar.

I’m running all carrion armor/weapons and dire/rabid trinkets because Anet likes you to grind for new stats on trinkets.

It was da best.

Thanks for the comment!

Here’s another video of some more fights! Hope you guys enjoy!

Some 1v1 fights with the same build

https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=8_WgLbjj3Y8

Before they use to be non-ground targeted and you had to trait for them to be ground targeted. Not anymore.

So Yes, they did make wells drop at your feet.

Stop spamming your keys.

Make Arrow Carts function just like Catapults and Trebuchets.

Have AC’s turn fast but require the user to hold down the fire button, just like the other siege, to determine the distance the arrows are fired. This would solve a lot of problems and also add new interesting ways for them to be used.

It would also make it so they weren’t so OP with point and click high dps.

Hey guys I made a build awhile back that I haven’t really changed much and I think it’s in a good place for GvGs and zerging in WvW.

The main bomb from the build hits really hard if landed well…… haha well….

The build itself isn’t any special snowflake, it’s more the armor stats that I think I’ve found a balance that I’m happy with. Give it a try if you like.

At the end of the video notice the healing I get while in RS from the life siphon.

Hey guys, we had a raid in the new borderlands the other night and I recorded some good fights. I’m not a fan of the new map that’s for sure. Hope you enjoy!

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l9FIOQsS5AA&feature=youtu.be

Hey guys, haven’t played Ranger in awhile and didn’t want to make a Druid so I thought I’d see if Condi-Ranger still worked. It’s a work in progress still. Hope you enjoy!

spoj.9672:

It doesn’t kick off stacks. But as for damage im unsure how that works because if i start it doesn’t stop ticking until chill runs out or I completely stop applying. I need to test it further. 2 necros is enough to test.

Combat log shows condis now. You have been away too long.

If someone applies chill before/in between your chill, you won’t be doing any damage.

Some testing.

Haven’t really solo roamed, but have duo’d with another reaper. As long as we don’t get zerged down we can win some tough fights. There’s just no getting away.

Two of the best guilds NA/EU duke it out in WvW GvG style combat.

Some of the longest, best, and drawn out fights of this century!

You’ll be at the edge of your seat each round, watching mind blowing plays and tactics that have NEVER been seen before!!

Hey guys, had another gvg with reaper and thought I’d post another video.

Build I was using.

GvG video.

coglin.1867:

If your unhappy with the new maps, why do you have 37 post in the earlier threads demanding that we needed new maps?

Not sure how you can use ‘wanting new maps’ against people. Yes, players wanted new maps. It’s not the players fault that Anet isn’t involved enough with it’s WvW player base to deliver a WvW map that players would like.

Best time ever

I like the proc on shroud.

I have the geo sigils on staff (aoe bleeds on swap) I swap to staff proc them, start counting 9 seconds, go into shroud, when I’m ready or 9 seconds is up, I come out of shroud and proc the sigils again them swap to my other set with geo sigils on them.

Gravedigger- while channeling this skill if you are struck, the skill instantly casts and restarts where the previous channel left off. Can happen 20x before a 1 second ICD.

Oh and this skill now hits 360 around player

pdavis.8031:

Here’s a thought.
But perhaps since the new borderlands require HoT, a majority of HoT players are still in PvE, exploring, leveling masteries, etc.

Actually…. you don’t need HoT to play on the new borderlands maps.

They are horrible for WvW are the reason why they are empty and EBG is always full.

I know anet may be busy and all but can someone take a few minutes to figure out why all these bags that are not mine show up?

Might make people think you care just a little bit……………… lol

It’s the map that is keeping people way from it.

You can shine a piece of poo, it’s still a piece of poo.

Rennoko.5731:

The makes me feel incredibly inadequate running condi in that last GvG….

But Epidemic yo!

Also I think this video would explain why BB was incredibly broken if had remained unchanged, in this setting.

Yeah, I agree BB was a bit on the strong side. However, toning it down a little would have been a better call IMO.

It’s a GM trait that required a group to actually be really strong. How is that a bad thing?

sephiroth.4217:

I think it’s a great trait with my current Build

It really depends on your build on if it will work for you, you wouldn’t use it on a condi reaper for example because having your chill do damage would be priority number 1.

Having 15% extra attack speed in WvW and PvP is always situational as most enemies know to kite a Reaper, so what good is attacking faster if you can’t hit them anyway?

With BB, you can either heal yourself or give yourself Lifeforce… It doesn’t sound like much until you are able to start off EVERY pvp game with Life force for that first engagement.

Outside of shroud, the only way you gain boons with your build is SpecWalk and hitting a target below 50% health…… so much Life Force generation….. oh and your runes…. you must be unstoppable.

Thanks, this was the build I was running. The runes are the reason I was using 2 wells.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vRAQJARGWwFs4sYXsMS1FaDPLoBQAoFA-TlBXABHp+DAKbMQpUJ6CQd/BbUCSKgI2aB-w

Had a few rounds the other day that I was able to record. Hope you enjoy.

Wish Blighter’s Boon still worked…..

http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZbdekzQ6QVc&feature=youtu.be

Other than Might, what boons does necro/reaper give themselves on a consistent basis to make this crap trait, GM worthy?

Really just horrible.

We are not guardians where we can put out a lot of boons. Needs to be changed to be a GM trait or moved down and have a new GM trait.

Please make it look like this. More bats = better

http://youtu.be/HchiOLAwBvU

It was only a GM trait when you had someone buffing you.

Horrible on its own.

So guardians have AH which works for both self and ally boons and the ability to squirt out boons like they just drunkenly devoured Taco Bell the night before, and it’s not op.

Put a watered down version on a necro where the only time it worked well, was with a guardian standing next to you and it becomes OP.

Liewec.2896:

oh, you found a way to reach this one without rank 2 hylek mastery?
we just won’t let you click it.

Lol this right here. kitten move anet. kitten move.

It’s stupid to lock specilizasions behind 400 hero points that take forever to get (not to mention everyone of your alts) when people have level 80 reverants instantly.

Did you set up your pvp build to have the elite specialization ? If you didn’t you can’t hold that weapon in pvp

400 skill points lol.

GG anet, GG.

It is funny how in PvE even, hero points are locked behind masteries and masteries are locked behind grinding exp. whole thing is horrible design IMO

If they did that, they would have to do what they did to WvW potions to PvP potions. Can’t have PvP players instantly unlock elite spec for PvE

So, to make a reverent you have to unlock it with 400 skill points right? Or they just giving that for free?

It doesn’t break anything, stop saying that.

The only reason for the change is because, new content is released and people with potion stacks get it almost instantly.

Notice how I didn’t even need to specify which potion I was talking about? Because, they both work the same and the change should be made to both.

OIIIIIO.7825:

Potions were meant to be saved and used later.
-Potions are given as a consumable reward / this allows you to use now or later
-Potions stack – so you can store them easier / not everything stacks
-Potions don’t break the new mastery system / reason for WvW potion change

I’m willing to have a dialogue with you if you want to discuss, however I will admit I’m having difficulty in seeing the logic in your argument. All players have the opportunity to save PvP potions. I have a little over 1,085 currently and I’m looking forward to finally using them all.

Sorry you can’t comprehend the simple logic in my argument.

The WvW potion doesn’t break anything at all. It just makes it so you can unlock the new content. However, if you’ve been holding onto them you get to unlock the new content much faster.

The sPvP potion functions the same way. When new reward tracks come out, you with 1000 sPvP potions will have all the new gear on the day of release. Which, is exactly why they are changing WvW potions.

So change the sPvP potions the same way.

WvW potions and sPvP potions were introduced to complement each other in their respective game modes.

WvW potions are being removed because new content is being added and having stacks of them will give an unfair advantage when new content is released.

Allowing sPvP potions to be saved for later use gives an unfair advantage when new content is added to sPvP.

Because, WvW rewards will be instantly consumed.

So should sPvP’s reward potions.

If a new track comes out, can’t have people instantly getting the rewards.

Tricare.2946:

They should go away.

You shouldn’t be able to instantly finish a new reward track, that other people have to work for.

because we some how got them without playing spvp?

Because I got all my WvW boosters without playing?

Login, buy WvW experience potion for daily with laurels. It’s basically what I do.

Joining those awesome [spvp daily, no trolls] rooms are just as easy and cheaper.

I don’t think loot was the reason it was fun. It was the fighting while trying to get to the top that made it fun.

Like this.

Kal Spiro.9745:

Like I said, it shouldn’t be easier for me to just lvl up a new character with the tomes I have and play the new elite spec.

They should make it easy enough to get on the character you have already with little to no grinding.

Not 250 Hero Points where I’ll have to run around for days getting them, when I could just level a new character.

Kal Spiro.9745:

Take into mind that you’ll be unlocking traits and skills to get the whole experience. Personally I think it should be over 100 just for the traits.

I really feel it’s a waste if I don’t use 100% of my hero points for this.

So what you’re saying is I should have to do map completion on every single one of my characters if I want to play the new specialization I just paid $60 for?

I don’t PvE that often, I WvW. Now that gaining lvl’s once you’re 80 doesn’t give Hero Points, over 100 Hero Points is asinine.
