Guild Wars 2

I liked how Maguuma stacked on top of each other while taking SMC to utilize ( not exploit) the AoE cap, I was real worried there

sil.4160:

I don’t know why you guys consider moving to SOS is like moving to the winning server. Its not the same as moving to server like HOD or Jade. SOS was ranked 11th and came 2nd against Tarnish Coast and then 2nd against FA

Literally, SoS hasnt won a wvwvw since the 1 week rotation lol. ET → IoJ → TC → FA, moving to SoS is the opposite of moving to a winning server… I think even before that SoS isnt doing that great

Shoutout for the defense of Redlake at SoS BL by Maguuma and the ….. Something …. at Pangloss by Maguuma.

^ calm down buddy…

There is a TC oceanic crew, I wouldnt call it big… but I wouldnt call it small either. You should temporarily transfer over there and roll with the Pink/TSL ( or was it TSG) , they are the major oceanic crew i see when i fought them.

I know you guys dont hear this often, but here it goes : Thanks ANet!

I did roll a thief, and it was op as hell. Obviously ANet wants to cut down on the instant kill stuff and thats why pistol whip and heartseeker was nerfed. Backstab build will be the next nerf and you should play your thief as much as you can before you go join the next FotM.

Play a dagger/dagger Thief then get your “iwin” button on and tell me how it goes in WvW, there is trade off’s, but as far as I know because I can drop someone in 2 sec means that they can drop me in 2 sec. If you can’t do that then you made your role do something else in WvW/PvP.

I’m talking about skill requirements, not pants. Your “2 seconds” it’s two, maybe three skills. For us to pull out those “2 seconds” (which is not really 2, more like 10) we must use 5 to 7 skills. If we messed up – we’re dead for sure. But you can always run away pretty easily.

I am an engineer main and I did the Jinzu’s backstab build for spvp on my alt thief. Its not as hard as I thought and it does pop the enemy before he can even react. With the heal that comes with the stealth, the bow that evades you backwards and the dancing daggers that evade everything I find it hard to even die when I mess up the rotation. Its a very simple rotation (yeah, preemptively hitting two coating spells is not hard work, hitting a few buttons and remembering to hit the signet before backstab isnt as well), highly rewarding but with the stealth heal very low risk.

I find it sad that such a powerful build is so easy that it can be learnt in one day and look forward to the nerfhammer. The skill requirement is a lie, it is nothing compared to the kit swapping or atunement juggling of engineer and elementalists. Simple builds like this must be punished, more complex thief builds rewarded so the better player wins.

Im obviously salty so ill be rolling backstab thief for awhile.

Last night was an anomaly….. It was a bloody peaceful evening and then ermagerd a ton of RPH guys came in and blued up Mag BL. And then they dissapeared .__.

Heres a small tip when fighting underwater, you grab a net turret and supply crate. If your net hits them, your grenades kill them end of story

Good to know there are still engies around, I rarely see them when im in game

Backstab probably the next one on the list, the question is how much and will it affect other builds

ANet, if you gotta shut the servers down to fix it just do it. Your uptime during the launch was impressive and most of the customer base would understand if you gotta put in some serious fixing .

Saw the mesmer nerf in spvp coming from a mile away, but the PvE ones are unjustified.

• Passes baton to imaginary American *
  We did the best we could during the ocn peak, good luck against the onslaught tomorrow/today

Did you just quote yourself …. :P , ggwp hopefully we meet again next month or so ( not the next rotation)

Lets keep this civil guys…..

Its slowly getting boring for me but the ratio of money spent to hours played is amazing so yes good investment.

Personally, I welcome you guys to Sea of Sorrows ! Seems like there is a bunch of rumors and trashtalking going on here but I encourage the SoS guys to not make hasty judgments regarding Defiance and see for yourselves what they truly are. After all, even though the allegations are coming from TC guys which may know Defiance more so than us, it may just be that there are existing drama. Anyways, just don’t judge so soon!

Also, for NA guilds that are interested, look up the queue size image for SoS on the first page of this thread. Its perfect for large NA guilds that want to field ALL their members at the same time & borderlands and make something happen (if you can ninja the slots before the “full” pops up again)!

Also, PINK is really good lol

Random guy in SoS

its 6 ticks of 20% revive, so there is actually 120% healed, if he pops it just before he dies you gotta either burst him down (like 5k dmg per second fast ) or heal up for round 2.

Yeah, SoS and TC complements each other well, but for them to fight each other its awkwards lol

Go to sleep already

White with red cross like an actual medkit please

Sounds like a smart tactic..

What you should do when facing griefers is transfer to their server and queue into the WvW to do the jump quest. They cant do anything to you!

1600 kills, 350ish badges. mostly when i am lv80

A strong counter argument is that you can use gold to buy gems to buy keys and get those potions, so its hardly a P2W situation.

Money → Gem → Gold → Exo/rune/sigil/potion/food happens all the time but its ok since everyone can get those without real money.

Gold → Gem → Key → Potion works the same way cause players can get it without spending real money.

Rather jump off than get killed by invaders, thats how its done.

I was there last night. If you see a balista just outside the dark room, yep I built that. Only to shoo away the FA invaders that broke the truce. About 5 minutes later I went in and someone else probably went on the balista and had a field day though lol.

Check out Temple of Dwayne, Malchor’s Leap. They sell 4 power /tough / vit karma gear, cant remember which parts

I got my CoF set (pre-buff with no exploit) and no one ever called me a noob or anything from wearing it. Even if that happens, I doubt I’ll be so bothered by it that I go and farm another dungeon set though. Still recommend the CoF set to anyone that is interested in baelfires.

If you do see someone in game wearing the CoF set, do tell them how bad they are and see how little they care.

Actually we do need this. gw2 elitists can run explorables all day long, but story is made for the average customer and its dificulty should reflect that.

Maybe make it a buff that is only available for 30 minutes, and can only be activated by the guild that owns the keep to it and has a few hours for cooldown.

Intense battles going on at IoJ Borderlands, non-stop back and forth between all 3 servers for like 12 hours now, good sht.

IoJ Garrison op lol.

Lasica.5068:

The fight fro Stonemist has been interesting. IoJ took it early but soon lost it to SoS. We then took it again only to lose it to FA. We took it again and now we’ve lost it to SoS.

Interestingly whomever hold SM seems to drop in score. When we didn’t have it we were pushing well into FA territory but when we took it we ended up getting pushed back and lost all the FA territory we had taken + our two supply camps.

In the other zones it’s looking pretty even as well so this fight is going to come down to which server can keep up overnight after Australia logs off… although really that should be around the time East coast US players log on.

IMO, it takes wayyy too much effort to take a stonemist. The effort you spend on that 35 points per tick you’d be able to get more in a borderlands. But whoever gets that = world pride sooo :>

The waves of Sorrow will come down on the Isle and remove any trace of its existence.

Should of been an explorable boss, story mode should be a derpfest but this one boss is stronger than the rest of CoF story combined

We rise in the darkest of nights, and take what belongs to us (sometimes).

Dungeons designers while you’re at it, get wc3 and download the custom game mod Impossible Bosses. That is how you make fighting bosses fun AND hard.

I am very dissapointed, its a great spell….. Maybe for sPvP but why remove it for WvW/PvE

Still takes a long time to get the whole set. But hey, if you want to spend double or triple the time to get a gear with the same stats to show that you are above “fire armor wearers” go right ahead, I’m sure you will get mad respect along the way.

Reduce the max hp of trash mobs, give them spells that do a kittenon of damage if you dont dodge. Give then a variety of spells plus animations that we can interrupt . The dificulty is nice but done in a horribly wrong way. Its hard but not fun when you have to smash trash mobs for 10 minutes

There is a grenade kit, and then there is a bomb kit. I use pistol/pistols but im looking to get an end game rifle . So my end game should be a rifle and a grenade kit, followed by all gear that gives power,prec and %crit damage. Squishy as hell but the AoE you deal is insane.

I just got to lv80 with Charr engineer a few days back and now just started to experiment new combinations/ optimize my own build. Pistols and elixir gun scale very well with condition damage, not so much with power. Rifle, bomb and grenade kit go well with power.

My build is currently pistol/pistols + grenade kit , healing turret (medkit > turret if you are fast enough) , elixir R (good for revving teammates without getting close), grenade kit, elixir B (for speed).
I think for PvE, getting the grenade kit with traits 300 power, 300 precision and 10% crit dmg is the way to go for dps. You can literally stack over 15 vulnerability (sustained) by yourself from 1500 range which is very nice for killing bosses, saves alot of time. Bomb kit is very hard to pull off cause you have to be so close but I think with the proper traits, your bomb heals others which is good for supporting melee characters. With the maximum stack for conditions at 25, you can trust that your team will be able to sustain 25 stacks of bleeding anyways so might as well go for the vulnerability build.
