Guild Wars 2

The stability change didn’t do much, can still easily wipe bigger numbers!…..

LR needs to get rid of the damage. I’m tired of being stunned and hitting LR and there’s and ele or necro or whatever that has something up that when they take damage they interrupt yourLR, which prevents the LR from evading and clearing anything at all.

In WvW a healing support guard is 100% viable. I run 0/0/2/6/6 pretty much full clerics build when I’m support.

Here’s a video 1st and 3rd clips are support, 2nd and 4th are meditation.

Just made a thread yesterday on what this person did whole stealthed so you didn’t get credit for the kill.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wuv/How-to-avoid-being-stomped-Fix-plz/first#post4838697

He went to his wvw tab and clicked on “leave the mists”

You don’t get exp and you don’t get loot.

Currently players are able to avoid being stomped and not be worth points by simply clicking on their WvW tab and pressing the button in the bottom right corner “Leave the Mists”

This needs to be fixed. When in combat the button should be disabled.

I’ve been destroying LB trapper rangers all night, it’s a horrible build. Please don’t post videos of you killing bad players with it, trying to show how it’s good.

I’m not even going to comment on the duels.

In the 3v3’s if that group was even half way smart, they would have targeted you and you’d be dead every time. You have zero escapes from stun lock.

Have your gurdian run more of a support role than dps. Have him try running something like this. He won’t be hitting hard but he’ll be keeping everyone in the party alive and able to stomp/revive people. You can switch out GS for hammer if you want.

Also, conditions are a lot stronger for small man groups. Having a condition necro helps a lot, but they have to know what they are doing because they will be focused first.

Here’s a video of me running the build, I do have more dps gear on, but the clerics gear is a good way to start and get a feel for just trying to support your team.

And Condi is much easier to play due to it requires far less effort then power and that applies to ALL classes, Iam sticking by that and will still doubt the sincerity of those who disagree with last part.

He went above and beyond trying to respond to your post and demonstrate examples as to why your point may not be as sound as you think. You disregard what he said entirely because it was a lot of words I guess, then you again make a blanket claim that is completely unsupported beyond you just thinking that’s the case.

If you don’t want to have a discussion, that’s fine, but please don’t try to engage people in one if you aren’t going to even read what they have to say.

This, so much this.

Don’t plug your ears and close your eyes and spout how you ‘think’ it is. That’s the reason people don’t learn anything.

Axe has been used for a long time.

You didn’t use your entangle enough, stopped after engi fight. Which you didn’t even use it against the thief or engi.

It’s on a 46 second CD, imo use it as an opener or 5-10 seconds into a fight, it will be back up quick and they will have used a condi clear.

It’s unblockable, remember that. That engi was reflecting your shots, should have popped entangle on him while he thinks he’s safe.

Here’s a video me killing Quickcry solo 1v1

LegendaryBartonian.2597:

I’m sorry, this is just not good at all.

No need to be sorry. The truth hurts sometimes.

Which one do you think they’ll be giving us?

They’re really the only two weapons that make sense, seeing as as we have a spirit long bow utility.

Spvp me or if you’re a different color lets fight in EOTM if you don’t think your build will work there.

Someone posted the math somewhere

Life sigil > Benevolence Sigil

Your out going healing is only slightly better on some skills with benevolence like healing breeze. But overall Life is the way to go

Yes let’s spvp, show me your skills

No, just no.

Any good player will kill you with dual bows…… /sigh

The way this guy is full of himself and can’t even admit the players he fought weren’t good, leaves me to believe that the way he stated that sentence, was his rotation is impossible to get out of once he starts it.

No good player is going to run around without a stun break and condition clears.

If you really think that your build and your awesome skill can kill any decently skilled player in 10 seconds or less, I can’t help you.

Keep living in your own little bubble.

I think you are blatantly putting words in his mouth now

His words.

“I cannot explain locking people down any more than I have. Game mechanics are game mechanics folks – no amount of “skill” allows you to overcome that. If I lock you down and do 10-20K damage inside 3-5 seconds and you have that much in health – youre done.”

If you really think that your build and your awesome skill can kill any decently skilled player in 10 seconds or less, I can’t help you.

Keep living in your own little bubble.

Oh and trap Rangers are horrible

If your buddy is going to be a support guardian I’d say go with condition necro. They make up for everything the necro is missing. And if you’re solo running around on a condi necro is the hardest roaming build with the most potential if you learn to play really well.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hm--IZqqEs8

umm stun break, dodge, dodge and then kill you because you’re on cd? Once you immo Id use one of the condition clears I’d be running?

Char guardian animations are extremely easy to read.

If you want tanky and support. You’ll want to try something like 0/0/2/6/6 and go mostly cleric gear.

Here’s a video of a buddy and me roaming. See if it’s your play style, you won’t do much damage, you’re there to cc people, clear conditions, and spike everyone that gets downed.

Fight some actually skilled players plzkthx.

All blinks or teleports would get knocked down of they blinked out of ring of warding.

Guardians JI even gets knocked down after they teleport out of the ring.

Chaos Archangel.5071:

I did not know that, ty!

Quick question.. How useful is plague form? What’s its purpose besides general annoyance?

It depends on when plague form is used.

If the necro is above 50% health it helps let the necro reset some cooldowns while still applying poison along with another condition. Most necros use #2 and blind + poison. If they are trained for it, chilling darkness is nice too, chill on blind. It keeps 3 conditions on the mesmer and mitigates a lot of damage.

The only problem with plague form is there are no condition clears while using it. You can stack a lot of conditions on them and it hurts. Usually if my group is fighting another group we are happy when they plague because we stack conditions on them and epidemic

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Condition-duration-vs-Condition-duration/first

You win.

There is no major gear advantage, you don’t have to “grind” for much. Any adverage player can get fully geared if your level 80 pretty quick. Only thing people grind for are skins.

And -% duration will always be better. Give that 2 second fear +100% duration. It’s now a 4 second fear. With just the -40 food it brings it down to a 2.4 second fear. Pretty much the base duration anyways.

That food just made that trait unless

The -40% condition food is stronger than the +40%.

The -40 happens after the condition is applied.

So if a user has +40 and uses a 10 second bleed it would be a 14 second bleed.
He casts that on someone useing -40 that bleed would be 14 – 5.6 = 8.4 second bleed.

Say the person has +70% so take 10 + 7 = 17

Now 17 – 6.8 = 10.2 seconds. The -40% is stronger.

And yes the food costs gold, but I always have 10g and I buy the most expensive food and you’ll never catch me alive doing PvE crap

Which foods are we talking about?

Food and utility buffs that EVERYONE has access to, but lets not change the topic eh

Having spvp gear and stats is another reason a lot of people don’t play that game mode. Most of the wvw pop likes to min max their gear which can’t be done in spvp.

Is called balance, or you’re just another pve guy who likes to get carried by his hurr durr legendary junk instead of his skills? Your candies and shiny dungeon crap are not gonna help you there m8

get over it

Lul all these comments about my player skill and wanting to get carried. There’s a link to my youtube channel, pick some videos and make fun of me that way. and sadly I have 0 legendaries

Here’s a good one for you I’m the guardian

Edit: Also, everyone has the same gear…… I’m in all exotics except my trinkets and such which are all easy to achieve.

I R is Best.

Cogbyrn.7283:

Did you make this because the other thread was locked, and you wanted to get locked too?

You caught me! Was just seeing if it would happen to this one too

MethaneGas.8357:

Hey Tricare, I see you are as positive as always

The traditional GvGs in WvW already exist in WvW… whether that’s 3v3s – 5v5s or 20v20s … and there’s no reason to re-invent the wheel and make a whole other mode for a deathmatch. I think this gamemode will actually be really interesting and fun, whether it’s 5v5 or 10v10, even 15v15. If the numbers go above 5 though, I’m pretty sure zerging won’t be encouraged. Instead I think you would have to split your team into smaller teams, each with a separate objective they have to tri to take care of (tri…care… get it? ). So let’s say you had a match of 10v10. You can easily imagine putting 5 people to hold / attack one objective (with a specific team composition) while the other team protects / attacks another, all the while you are on TS coordinating, etc. So the spectators can easily hop between the “mini-battles” in the match and see how it all plays out in the bigger picture. It would really put your guild to the test, not only mechanically but tactically as well, and that sounds really awesome
They did say that the match would be as fun to play as it would be to watch.. and I think a flat-out zerg of 20v20 is not really what they had in mind.

Hey! We agree on something haha! My biggest issue with it would/will be if it’s just 5’s.

I can live spvp stats and such, I just think they should add in a way to change the settings of the match. Use WvW stats or Spvp stats. /shrug

Maybe? huh?

So many things that you don’t understand about large scale fights. But I’ll stick with small scale anyways.

The reason you guys can’t figure out what’s happening or skills that are going off is because you are standing in a small circle where everything is being dropped.

I roam and the way we win 2v6 or 3v6 fights is we bring them to open areas or we engage in places that give us advantage. We don’t stand in one circle and hope we kill them before they kill us

This argument about not being able to see anything is kind of bad. If you have trouble figuring out what’s happening that’s user error.

If you’re talking about spectators then that’s even worse. Why would you even consider balancing a game around outside spectators.

Stop it with your esports. It won’t happen.

Lord of Madness.2603:

The Spammers Break Code of Conduct.
1. you may not defraud, harass, threaten, embarrass or cause distress and/or unwanted attention to other players

Lol the only thing they might be doing is vaguely harassing you. And that’s only if you let yourself be harassed.

It won’t be a guild win with 5 people, it will be a team win. They should make a game mode for team queues….. Oh wait….

Rym.1469:

2. It’s eassier to commentate on less players and their individual skill is more visible.
.

This right here is one of the big reasons it’s going to exclude lots of people yet again.

Individual skill.

If I’m in a 10-20 man guild, I’m only going to want my 5 best players to play. I don’t want to lose any matches.

How is your individual skill representing a guild achievement?

How can 5 people represent a 20-30 man guild?

Edit: I’m saying there should be different player size brackets. That way all size guilds can be represented.

Putting Stronghold as the GvG game type into spvp isn’t going to work well to represent guilds other than the ones that already spvp.

Having a GvG with 5v5 is already excluding a huge population that doesn’t do spvp as it is because of the small team sizes.

Having spvp gear and stats is another reason a lot of people don’t play that game mode. Most of the wvw pop likes to min max their gear which can’t be done in spvp.

There are more reasons than this but I’m off to work. Hope they will allow a setting to change between spvp rules or wvw rules

This post needs to be sticky’d or something because this fix has fixed my problem two patches in a row now and not only for just my login but also my brother and father’s login too. Please anet fix this issue, we shouldn’t have to bend over backwards to figure out workarounds for logging into the game.

This issue only happens when we have to update for a patch, I remove the tag on my shortcut after it updates. Works fine after the update.
