Guild Wars 2

I guess he means he thinks celestial (therefore hybrid) necro is a good idea but he can’t stack might without swapping weapons so he would like the swap sigils to proc on DS.

Perma protection GG, you bunker but burning still ticks for 800+ per sec.

800 per burn tick, are you high? also perma protection without thumper turret, how?

And allow me to quote one of your finest messages :

a t s e.9614:

I think it would be fair for a pure berserker to get 100% base critical chance.

You’re a funny one.

On the other hand, you have to understand that they are sick of seeing PvE players that are dispatched everywhere due to the teribad MMR. No matter where you are on the leaderboards, you will get paired with and against PvE players : in that case, the team with the less PvE players will most often win.

So yes, I completely understand that they are sick of explaining how to play the game while playing it (which is quite a feat) every single game. ArenaNet should have thought and tried to fix the LB before making that PvE patch.

You should take a look at

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/elementalist/My-Celestial-Elementalist-build-for-Spvp/first#post3919257

it’s a hybrid condi/power build for sPvP that is a lot more fun than sitting in earth spamming AA.

Thanks !

Hello !

Been waiting for ticket #531115 submitted on april 11th. Many thanks in advance.

Hello,

I know full well that I can’t get help from this forum so I already sent a mail to customer support on april 11th about the following message " “A server error has been encountered. Please wait a moment and try again." that is displayed when I try to link GW1 and GW2 accounts. I’ve had it since release and had forgotten about it so when I remembered I could link GW1 and GW2 accounts I thought it’d be fixed already.

In any case, I gave all the needed information about both accounts and since I originally bought the game in french I submitted the ticket in french. Is there any way to speed things up a bit? I wondered about going to the french Account Issues subforum but it looks like a graveyard, some people are even posting phishing links in their post so even the moderators look inactive.

Many thanks in advance !

P.S: I’m guessing I should either go to the french forums or wait but I thought I’d try my luck here.

Right, in case Gaile passes by, ticket number is 531115

I would also like to remind people of this thread.

Nomin.5901:

I have been playing a valks ele in higher level matches (vs good fights and other teams) and I seem to be doing fine, here is is my current build http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vEAQJAoYhcM6c2zwxBfEBARBMmMK0howDlH5MjNA-TgAA0E5oyxljJHZO2cGfA

Eles strong suit now is roaming, and being able to heal an immense amount. I have yet so see a hard counter and most things I can 1v1 without an issue (all depending on player skill) if you want, feel free to message me in-game for tips and such

Don’t you get eaten by necros, engis and conditions for that matter?

Hype.8032:

Uhtameit.2413:

Lyssa still removes 5 conditions. Do you happen to have more than 5 conditions on you? if so, do you think even the old Lyssa would have saved you?

Now you can’t get stability or activate lyssa prior to engaging or all the boons. There are MUCH better runes available right now, I’d go as far to say they buried lyssa runes this patch.

Except if you use lyssa as intended : for condi clear.

It’d be interesting to know if it was done on purpose, given the number of bugs these days…

Jekkt.6045:

with the nerf to lyssa runes there will be no “counterbuilds”. blathazar engis, nightmare necros and spirit rangers are all horrible.

welcome back to the condition meta

Lyssa still removes 5 conditions. The only nerf is that you can’t get a kittenload of boons for nothing (especially aegis/protection/stability). So it’s still just as good against conditions (except if you have more than 5 conditions on you, which rarely happens unless you are getting focused).

Soooo do you even think?

With one MM, I bet. But now, if they all play MM, that’s probably another story. The issue is that with 5 minions per player, you won’t be able to destroy them with AoEs since AoE will only hit 5 characters at a given time.

An engineer can deal with a MM necro but again during a team fight involving several MM necros, I have no clue how you can win. Their weakness is AoE, and that weakness is probably negated when you stack several MM on top of each other.

Maybe go with 5 hambows. Trolololo.

Forsaker.9213:

i linked this vod not becouse its so OP , i did to show that if u aware of what traits/runes u are using u can still chain fear ppl wven not going 30pts in spite but ofc now its way easier to counter necro chain fear. PPl need to remeber that necro is using nightmare runes do most of the time 1 st hit will propably couse fear so be sure u have stunbreak/stab rdy , also remeber about reapers protection. Thise 2 fears are easy to counter.

Rune of the nightmare should probably get reverted, a 3s fear every 90s is a bit too much. Other than that, yes both fears can be countered but that makes it 4 fears (5 with the wall, really) : evenf if you have your stunbreaker ready, you’re going to have a hard time given the number and duration of the fears. But still, the only issue imo is the rune, the rest is fine.

Mmmmmh, what a consistent opinion. Allow me to remind you :

MTC.9536:

don’t change the necro that way you said it in “ready up”. It will destroy the class completely.

Other than that, removing 10% of the life of an ele is only an “issue” in 1v1 and barely anyone uses the trait at all. But this is MTC, king of all necro QQ, so no wonder.

Oh right, he is #1 soloQ NA, but let’s forget he only has 24 games played, right? dat joke.

The ele part is so funny. He’s not even trying to find arguments, they just have “tons of regen”. Troll thread guys.

He’s not comparing the damage, just the gameplay.

I wonder how it’s back. Engi never were in the meta.

An engineer probably stands a fair chance. Other than that, yes, ArenaNet has finally made hybrid builds viable, it’s nice.

Edit : btw, any shatter mesmer/ necro/ s/d thief will destroy you because they will remove your mights and you will hit like a wet noodle :p

Three possibilities :

1) You’re mistaking rank and level
2) You don’t remember your rank properly
3) A bug

nook.9176:

its the same build, select ur weapons, bow + hammer + berseker + heal signet . Roll ur face on keyboard and wooola, hambow, u dont need traits ect only a good face lol

^This

We could also talk about Pistolwhip, you know.

On the other hand, unlocking the thief traits was a terrible idea because they are terrible indeed.

Charak.9761:

Eles are out of hand atm, to much regen to get thru

You have to stop trolling, darl.

39-55 is now 39-80. If you were below r39, your rank won’t change. It is normal.

NonToxic.9185:

Ostricheggs.3742:

Honestly at this point balthazar just needs to be converted to a power rune and things would settle down at least a bit.

Offtopic: please don’t do this or my speculation buy order is going to be 100% ruined.

Funny thing is, they were power runes before the update.

Shyhalu.4891:

I feel like they’re just going to break rangers trying to fix this issue.

They’re incompetent but don’t push it.

I guess they probably fixed both, as long as you get the final explosion it’s okay, isn’kitten

There are WTF hits with ranger pets too. I say open a thread in the Bugs subforum.

That guy is a troll, too.

Burning Rush? what is that?

No, it looks teribad.

I’m not offended at all. Hell, I’m gonna go and get that thread for ya.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Elementalists-are-OP-and-need-nerf-ASAp/first

Pay a little bit of attention to what is being said and how they say it. Elementalist is in a bad state, it might be a tiny bit better after the patch but that is it.

That was a troll thread. Read it again and pay attention this time.

7 conditions with crit + swap on an engineer? Please explain, I would love to see that happen

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vcAQJAqelUUpPrlYx+KseRiMqQnBqAgJSR+ZZfeQfsFEC-ToAAzCpIkRJjTGjMSZsyM6YCC

Static shot—>swap = 7 condis
Poison (rune)
Chill (rune)
Vuln (from crit/trait)
bleed (from crit/trait)
Burn (IP)
Confusion (static)
Blind (static)

Also, target is now chilled, which means they are probably dead meat to the inc. continued condi-bursts, and the poison means even healing won’t do much.

You might “only” get 5 or 6, but 7 isn’t hard.

Also: any bomb/nade will give you 6 with a crit (from bleed trait), or at least 5 with guaranteed vuln proc. on explosions.

Personally I never use Doom if I have Grenades, there is no point. Grenades + Poison Volley are enough. I’m pretty sure most engineer will run Battle/ Geomancy/ Energy + Generosity. That settles it for sigils.

If you have grenades, Sharpnel is far better than Exploit Weakness.

Precise Sights is teribad when you could get the CD reduction on pistol or better yet : protection injection. No one ever runs that trait.

All in all, we have left :

Confusion (from static shock)
Blind (to be removed with one AA, won’t last long anyway)
Burn (the only thing that is QQ worthy with Rune of Balthazar)
Bleed (if you have sigils of geomancy, otherwise you won’t put many)
Vulnerability (if you land grenades)

Not all of it is done in one swap and you chose bad traits. You should QQ about classes you know a bit better.

Cogbyrn.7283:

“The newly buffed Celestial stats”.

Oh.
My.
Heavens.

Someone actually uttered that phrase? All I see is “Hybrid builds destroyed”, “Zerk builds destroyed”, “Ferocity made my parents divorce”, but the most hybrid of hybrid stat sets that everyone was clamoring would be brokenly underpowered are now claimed to be overpowered for an Elementalist?

Please confirm. Once confirmed, I’m going to promptly die laughing. Preparing to RIP in peace.

He is talking about sPvP, obviously. You should start reading patch notes.

Pyriall.1683:

The only recent change to this statement was the change to heals.

Ah yes, my bad. It was only 4 months ago.
So why didn’t you request a refund back then?
Did you have all 30 character slots back then or did you buy some of them later?

Do you mind providing the “4 months ago” source?

http://dulfy.net/2013/12/05/gw2-new-healing-skills-for-next-patch/

It’s actually quite frequent that ArenaNet asks you to wait for what bothers you to be In-Game before refunding you.

Example : the flamekissed light armor in the gem store was redesigned, people could only get a refund after it’s been redesigned. Not when they announced they were going to redesign it.

So yes, I have no issue believing him when they told him to wait for the patch to be live. It also helps them getting rid of quite a few people who won’t bother filing a ticket twice.

He was told to wait. He has waited, and now they say no. Hum, uh, how is that complicated? They screwed him big time.

The game has been out for two years, most PvP players have left and nearly all the competitive players have left. There is no esports scene.

Not new at all.

And now you can earn Skill Points via the rank chests and get gold via PvP. You still can, but you have to grind.

style.6173:

Yes! I am so happy to see this thread. People laughed at me when I said that AR wasn’t going to solve the problem.

Where are all these people who were critical now????

People here are QQ-ing about condition engi, not decap engi.

Nova Stiker.8396:

Ranger – Pets hitting extremely hard, felines hitting 8k+ with their basic attacks. Even supportive pets or tanky ones have been reported to hit high as well. I got hit by an owl that landed 7k, it does more damage than a zerker Backstab thief.

Apparently, that’s a bug.

Nova Stiker.8396:

Mesmer – Having insane damage while keeping a good defense. Claims of Phantasms and shatters hitting extremely hard without a need for a glass setup.

How is that related in any way to the patch?

Nova Stiker.8396:

Warrior – With the Krait Runes the condition damage and number of conditions inflicted can be overwhelming on condition Warriors.

What you mean is that the condition damage is unchanged, only the number of conditions has changed. Impale is now easier to cleanse so I doubt that.

BlackBeard.2873:

You forgot the condi bursts on engie and necro, but especially the engie. Between a single crit + swap, they can output 7 condis at one time. Its like signet of spite, but with no cast time.
.

7 conditions with crit + swap on an engineer? Please explain, I would love to see that happen

Quickness on knockback. 30 points into explosives.

No stunbreaker, no block. If you’re going for the new 100b, this is the way to go.

Dee Jay.2460:

But it’s a pretty broken class without any real counters

Nice troll. Try condition necro or any other condition class.

glaphen.5230:

Engineer condition builds are fine because other condition builds can kill them, great logic in this thread.

Fixed it for you. Back to hambow and evade spamming thief now, on your way !
