Oh and no new animal races please, we allready have giant cats and rats, think of something exciting like largos, something atleast humanoid.

If they up the cost/mat requirements it will be harder for alot of people to get as farming extra gold/mats takes alot more time, and those people have a real life to. if getting rid of time gate means making asc even more of a gold sink, it will still be timeconsuming to get, just as much as time gated stuff is because of the extreme requirements of farming/money you would need.

Eotm doesn’t count towards wvw pop, i’m not digging the quote out for you but dev said it wouldn’t. And as far as going dead to change server status, i assume player amount just has to reduce a fair bit, not enough to go dead but it will probably be a noticeable difference.

P.S. You can also have alot of fun in silver league, the servers ARE populated and theres alot fo fun to be had here, just because you can’t blob allday on sfr don’t mean you can’t have fun in wvw. if you like blobbing so much go join pve champ train.

With this golem week event turning wvw into something horrible for the week, i’ve been on the forums alot more than usual, and I just wanted to thank you all for keeping me entertained as I read this wonderfull thread. 10/10 would read all of this again. Btw, (i think his name was marthakus or something) please block me i do not wish to ever be in the same group. lol.

My guild plays home bl, as do alot of people we know in other guilds. We are ALL bored with this event allready. thanks for ruining a week of potential fun in wvw anet.

I love my server, if it was merged with another it would disrupt the community we have on it, i do not wish to see this happen to me or anyone.

As for OP, farm gold in pve, you picked a bad server, shouldve looked at its place in the mos page before picking it. same advice for new people interested in wvw, look at the server ranking and performance before you pick a server.

Fighting the two of you is the most depressing thing i’ve experienced in a long time. I’d rather fight 2 condi pu stealth mesmers.. I mean, i’m full zerk mesmo, boonstrip and extra damage on shatter, 3 clone mirror blade shatter = 50% hp, which is then healed instantly, added to insane burst/condi. 2 of us try simultanious shatter, again, nothing.

Talk about carried by a broken build. Anet plz nerf. ty.

Seems like a great idea for a fun and crazy week to me. I like the idea of putting crazy twist into WvW for a week to break monotony.

yeah but even you can see that an entire week of this is going to get very very stale… It’ll be ok for a couple hours and then it just becomes even more monotonous.

No, no I can’t. Unlike yourself, I do not misrepresent myself as a capable of seeing the future. Seems counter intuitive to me, to suggest a week of different game play would be defined as stale, in comparison to nearly 3 years of identical game play scenarios from week to week.

Hey, look, it may not be for everyone, that is fine. Feel free to hate it and stay away. I am sure those who like it, or like change for the sake of it, will be happy you made room for them to get in and have some crazy fun with their friends.

Ok, But why should the people like myself who do not like omega golems, see them as nothing but a nuisance the bigger servers we fight use to nullify all of our defence when it is either middle of the night/very early morning, turning all of our hardwork into nothing, as 10-12 omegas and a 30 man zerg vs few people who are still awake/defending.

You’re very quick to criticize people who’s view on this subject disagrees with “omg it is amazing praise mordremoth”, but you have yet to suggest anything appropriate as an alternative to “do not play” for those people like myself who will find this event absaloutley 0 fun, whatsoever.

Maybe you could help us, and try to do something positive for the whole WvW community, like suggesting ways this could be implimented without forcing those of us who find this idea utterly awful to go do something else for a week, For example; Golems only work 4 hours in primetime, outside of those 4 hours they cost supps and are not buffed. Or it’s only for firday/staurday/sunday, so those of us who like to fight normal wvw, will get a chance to have some fun too on the weekdays.

There, you can still say you fully support the idea, but you could also support the other people who do not like this idea, by pushing viable alternatives into view of Anet. I’m sure there are people on every server whom will not like the idea, so it would be a shame to push them all away for a week.

Just my 2 cents.

Myself and 90% of the guild i run play wvw only, and have been doing for 2+ years, we focus on defending/upgrading/scouting/killing stuff in our home borderland, its alot of fun, and the reason we play, and has built a strong community feel with both the guild and the map.

As a server we’ve often fought bigger foes in the past, and they’ve often just built 5-10 omegas and steamrolled the whole bl wiping all wps and seige, because we simply did not have a sufficient amount of people to withstand such an attack. There is nothing fun about golems, they take little skill to deploy in combat, and are only used to fast cap stuff giving you 0 time to defend against an allready overwhelming enemy force.

Adding a whole week of golem focused wvw is literally going to have 0 fun for us, we wont be able to upgrade defend as we do because, oh look its a 50 man golem blob. There will be no point in scouting as things will constantly flip, and there will be no point with siege as omegas simply shoot it off the walls in 90% of placements. This will be a ktrain week, nothing more, and for those of us that don’t find this fun the only answer people can provide is " don’t play for that week then", thing is not all of us get alot of time to spend on gw2, and the time we do get is valuable as we like to roam wvw on home bl as a guild, now because wvw is going to just be big golem blobs for 1 week we’re told simply not to play, that just seems selfish, of both anet with this decision, and from the players saying it. Yes you might have fun, but there will be others who will simply either be frustrated or disheartend with the state of things during that event that they just wont play. Now i’m not speaking for anyone except the people within my guild. It’s just a silly idea, golems allready ruin wvw for US with their frequent appearences from the bigger servers we face, why should we be subjected to a week of nothing but golems, when they are (and again i only speak for my like minded guildies, not anyone else) the complete opposite of fun. Again, we can just not play, but thats not a really great soloution for people who just want to play normal wvw, maybe limit golems just to EOTM or something, i dont know, but instead of telling us just not to play, maybe try to think up some constructive feedback with our help, and act as a wvw community, making sure the entire community is getting something they want, as opposed to only certain factions of players.

Been using inspiration specialisation for the past few days and menders purity hasn’t been working for me.. Is this a bug or? Like, i’ll heal but the 2 condis will stay, don’t matter which heal, tried them all.

Was in guild before, but took a long break from the game,

there is obsidian sanctum or behind south camp on bl to duel, if myself and the people i fight with encounter you not in one of those spots likelyhood is you get killed.

anet gave you an arena in obsidian sanctum, use it.

I don’t go out of my way to ruin a duel, but if you’re not behind windmill, or in the area designed for small fights (obsidian sanctum) then i kill you with some friends anyhow, silly to duel in public place like stonemist or anywhere that features heavy traffic of players.

So ArenaNet you have neglet the wvw all this time and now you espect me to buy you expantion???
Hahaha
No. I’ll take revenge with my wallet!

Plz tell me why should i buy your expantion?
Will we play on the same bortherlands for years again?

For $50,- you get airships in WvW.
(The new WvW world maps will be available to everyone, even without having the HoT expansion)
And thats about it for the wvw people xD

New profession, New specialisations adding more versatile and refreshing combat, new map, new things like airships and stuff you can access via guilds, new wvw masteries. aswell as new weapons on each char futher improving on and addming more versatility to combat, this expansion is adding an awful lot.

Finally, no more qq in bl map chat about how a roamer chased a zergling into a fight and ruined everything for all of the guilds and caused the end of the world by adding to their fight, it’s going to be overrrrrrrrr!

Why bring political agenda into videogames. I can’t see a need or a reason for them to do this, the game is fine, the characters are fine, why push in controversy just for the sake of pushing in controversy. I’m not against LGBTin any way irl, But i don’t like people trying to push social agenda into my life through vidya games, if you want to show support go make a sign and visit a parade.

Why should the game balance cater to newer players by penalizing the choices of veteran players. You can’t and should not be able to pick something up and instantly be on a level playing field with someone who is a veteran of that something.

You’re right, they shouldn’t. Veteran players should be more skilled and practiced in WvW and therefor have an advantage over new players. I don’t see a reason to artificially inflate that advantage with a stat buff. Unless you’re telling me you’ve learned nothing that could give you a leg up over less experienced players in WvW then you shouldn’t need applied stats.

And to address all the disdain for new players in this thread in general: if something isn’t growing, it’s dying. You want a revitalized world vs world scene? You want Anet to give a kitten about you? You need some new blood.

If they want the Applied buffs, they should have to goto wvw and get the ranks same as everyone else, new players should not be given things old players have worked for.

Due to granting the powerful Applied Fortitude and Applied Strength effects, the Defense Against Guards and Guard Killer lines needed to be extremely expensive, but that meant players often felt obligated to spend their first 230 points on these lines before they could begin branching out into other ability lines. Also, those two lines—along with the Siege Might, Siege Bunker, and Mercenary’s Bane lines that simply granted single percentage increases per ability rank—felt very weak. This drove our decision to shorten the Guard Killer and Defense Against Guards lines to five, removing Applied Strength and Applied Fortitude.

Enjoy it while it lasts folks…

Edit.. LOL, didn’t mean to post as a question. :-D

Bleh, another “noob-firendly” patch. All veterans should have grabbed everything useful already.. Losing that 100 power and 250 vit is going to hurt so much as a zerker class They really want those worthless newbies who almost never play wvw to be happy huh. They should be rank 500+ already at this point.

Exactly this kind of elitist entitlement approach is the thing that hurts WvW more than anything ANet can do.

After Account Bound Wxp, there’re really no more excuse for lack of rank points.
Seriously, the only possibility for lack of rank points is that you never play WvW at all…

Ever thought that with HoT maybe new players will join WvW? I agree for someone who regularly plays WvW, it would be easy to have already enough WvW ranks. However, this doesn’t change, that it is still a weird mechanic, that clearly puts the new player in an disadvantage. The WvW veteran has not only access to better stats, he draws also on more experience and possibly skill. I always was against those two bonuses anyway.

But that is not actually the point. The point is your attitude. You think, just because your way of playing leads to certain results, everyone else should be were you are or where you say they should be. Additionally your attitude towards “worthless newbies” is simply disgusting. You appear as a very entitled player, who believes his standards should be standards for all. This is what actually made me oppose you.

Why should the game balance cater to newer players by penalizing the choices of veteran players. You can’t and should not be able to pick something up and instantly be on a level playing field with someone who is a veteran of that something.

People who farmed ranks in order to gain these buffs did so by giving up coin for boosters/time to farm them, why should they be penalized because someone thinks new players that will come with hot deserve to be on a level playing field. They really don’t, they will not have put in the time nor effort, nor have gained the sufficent experience to be on a level playing field, and limiting our stat choices is a silly way to try to cater to new players.

No, Ascended armor is crafted for high level fractals, And for other people who like to invest something into the game they play it is a way to get best in slot gear. The stat difference however small is welcome also. We who have made multiple sets of ascended armor have worked hard to do so, why should that be negated to give people the same stats with no work done for them. This just seems like “they have it but i want it but i dont like to work for it” argument to me, kind of entitled.

Tl;dr, If you want something, invest a bit of your time/effort to get it, instead of expecting the world to give it to you no effort required.

As a hard working member of the GH BL community, i can only say job well done gunnars!. Not only did you chase someone off an objective leaving it unable to cap anything else, but you killed that enemy too. And you made it upset! If i could hand out some big reward, i would, you all deserve it!

And down to serious business now, If you are in my bl, i will hunt you and i will CJ you over and over and over, regardless of who you are. you don’t get to touch that bl!

Anyone have any builds they run celestial on for necro? I run both power/condi in wvw at the moment, and want to try hybrid, just curious about possible celestial using builds.

dank.3680:

Why do we have this in the game? I don’t understand why I have to wait 30 days of gametime to be able to make my exotic armor , just because of the stat combo?

Whats so special about Celestial stats that I have to wait over a month(cant play every day) to have it on my exotic armor when I can just craft or buy any other stat in 1 day.

Anet please consider removing this gate.

To add to the ridiculousness of the situation, please consider that the time gate for this STAT COMBO is longer then the time gate for ASCENDED armors.. What the heck…

Everyone who has allready crafted this armor including myself, has had to go through this time gate. It shouldn’t be changed, just work for it like everyone else, and like Some guy said, you’ve had 600+ days to make this set, not anets fault some people are lazy.

Dear OP. There is existing mechanics in the game to mitigate damage. Various armor stats/utlity/traits/dodges/blocks/invuln/kiting Line of site. All of the issues brought up in past threads seem to boil down to just learning how to play.

WvW – PvE – some PvP

That’s what ya get for queuing maps and doing nothing while stuff flips cause you’re busy in a “scrim”. I could care less about your GvG’s you have an obsidian sanctum arena for that, when ya bring it to home bl it becomes ever so boring for the defenders, who when they accidentally run into a fight get shouted at in /m, or who get told no when they ask for help holding a way-point. As a casual observer who enjoys watching these subjects devolve, I can only begin to guess that maybe anet possibly shares a view of indifference towards ya.

Oh btw, i love trebbing your fights, oh so very much.

Just saying, I have made 2 full sets. I worked hard to get all the materials and gold for this.

Why do you feel that you deserve it without putting in the same effort?

If you work 20 hours a week and a Co-worker works 60, Do you feel you are entitled to the same rewards? No.

People like the OP and his defenders are leeches, they are all to happy to complain but when it comes down to actually doing something productive like getting a job or working for gear in mmo, they are the last you expect to ever get anything done. And thus they cry that the world is unfair because they are afraid to work hard for a reward.

I’ve also had around 7 ascended chest drops, all useful except for one magi chest which sits in my bank. I’m very happy that you self-entitled “o this is to hard” folks don’t got no ascended armor.

I dont know why you want to alter a game mode for the worse, just to reach your personal goals.

Thats very selfish.

I can’t believe i’m agreeing with you after all the times you annoyed me in wvw with the constant tagging.

I think you should all stop passing your opinion off as what most people like/don’t like, And wait until the map is released before you start on your QQ topics.

We really don’t need more professions when they can’t handle balancing the ones they already have.

Also, mesmers already have a time warp.

You haven’t even read the entire thread, by looking at your time of posting this reply. I don’t think your post is really justified unless you take the effort to read it…

Edit: To elaborate on your reply…
A mesmer focuses on illusions and phantasms. Also, a mesmer doesn’t fulfil any terrain manipulative options (as in depth) as a Chronomancer would.

It would also be VERY easy to change the name of “Time Warp” on the Elite skill of the mesmer, if that really bugs you.

His reply made perfect sence, they allready cannot balance the 8 existing proffesions well enough, why add a 9th and make that job even harder?

Pinkamena Diane Pie.8054:

LMAO these are anet’s terms and conditions.

Just look at the conditions for macros, it’s as clear as mud!

You can use macros so long as they only do one action = normal keybind =/= a macro
So in the same sentence they claim you can use macros so long as they are not macros. Awesome!

In the meantime there is a setting in Win7 Control Panel to make a white circle appear around your cursor when you hit CTRL.

Breaking News! Anet to ban all Win 7 users over possible “cheating”!

I would like to know how many visually impaired players use this mod cos it help them play the game? If a mod helps handicapped players play, then it should not be banned; if that mod allows non-handicapped plays to gain an advantage, well it’s a mod available to all, so anyone can gain that advantage so long as anet allows mods and adds a mods section to the forums!

But as we all know Anet have been anything but helpful with the community really.

just because it is available to all doesn’t change the fact it gives and advantage, and because of that it should not be allowed to maintain balance, I don’t understand how you fail to see this. And if some people that play are handicapped wether it be visually, or other, there are plenty of ways for them to help themselves without having a illegal mod. Example; glasses, hearing aid, contact lenses,subtitles. they all don’t affect gameplay but help the person.

I got him on blocklist for nearly 1.5 year now, whenever he comes to wvw, he has tag on so you can’t miss him. He’s there mose days and will build rams, queue wrong things to drain our keeps, disrupt organasation and such.

I am well aware the devs are now working hard to deal with this sort of behaviour but having a report that we could use, such as “Greifing Wvw” would be easier to bring it to the attention of the devs.

For the 1000th time, can we please have a report option that matches the context of someone spamming rams in our garri on reset night to make sure we cannot upgrade, he’s been doing this for two years and still whenever i report him nothing gets done, because the report options we have are severely inadequate. I understand in game GMS have been doing something more about this recently but still ain’t seen you deal with the people who try to ruin wvw on Gunnars Hold.

The reason I feel that an expansion is needed is because the living story hasn’t been able to deliver the common features that people are asking for.

If you review recent changes you will find it has, in fact, been able to deliver features that people asked for. I think what you mean is “it hasn’t delivered features that a handful of very vocal individuals have been fruitlessly demanding for years.”

Players have asked for new skills - can you point them out?

Players have asked for at least one new class to play - can you point this out?

Players have asked to play a new race - Can you point this out?

Players have asked for new dungeons - can you show me the way? I can’t seem to find it.

Players have asked for new crafting disciplines - Can you point this out?

Players have asked for new weapons to use - Can you point this out?

Players have asked for precursor crafting - Have you made any yet?

Players have asked for a new continent to experience - Can you give us directions?

Your turn to bestow on us, the “very vocal individuals” the features we have all asked for which were delivered.

You got a mouse in your pocket? The word we is used (abused) on this forum WAY too much.

No, i want alot of what he’s listed too, and it’s not here yet. It’s no good pointing out that he can’t speak for someone when what he has said is correct, those things are wanted by many. Especially precursor crafting, i’ve made 4 legendaries for myself, and one for a freind, and precursor crafting is much preferable to buying of tp or waiting for a drop, It was said somewhere that it was in the pipeline, but not seen it yet…

As for other points? i agree with them all, the game is two years old, give it something new that isn’t JUST living story..

bad idea, this is not good for wvw, i gave it the beenfit of the doubt and have tried it, and now say its not worth keeping.

This may not be a major issue to many, but as i play mesmer alot it is to me, can i get an eta, or an acknowledgement that you’ve seen this and forwarded it tot the right people, please Gaile?!!!

Clones upon shattering now just stand there for 2-3 seconds then dissapere, instead of erupting into butterflies upon shatter like normal… Please fix this…. Don’t ignore it. It’s only been happening since patch release.

It’s very simple- loot.

EoTm gives more badges, more loot, more karma by just following a train.

Silverwastes chests and events give so much loot it’s not even funny.

An hour in wvw and unless you play a spam 1 tag everything class you might see half a dozen bits of loot, compared to opening 20-30 chests, 30 events, 40 loot bags containing up to t6 mats, etc if you wonder around in Silverwastes.

I’m sure a lot more players would try wvw if it had more loot, even if they have totally failed to update it in two years.

Maybe ‘season 3’ should be a revision and new maps to wvw, with piles of achievement points available (won’t happen, but we can dream).

As it is there is almost no reason to carry on logging in to wvw apart from the occasional even fight, and it’s very clear that is the conclusion reached by the majority of players.

Oh for crying out loud not this again. Seriously, if all that matters to you is loot go to EoTM. You guys would never play WvW anyway if all that prevent you to play is loot. You would only accept to follow the daily Choo-choo train of Karma and be done. No thank. Bad loot perception (it is not badder than anywhere else at all btw) protect WvW from you guys as far as I’m concerned.

But ANet has said that they want people to do what they want and be able to achieve the things they want. Should a pure WvW player really be so far behind in the money earning game than a pure PvE player?

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to ask for equal amount of loot.

Silver wastes are giving tons of nothings. They overwhelm your inventory. That is all. The best loot I had so far in terms of quality was always in WvW or in Fractals.

But the point is, WvW is plagued by people who are not there for the game itself.

Maybe you but that’s pure rng. In Silver Wastes, by playing efficiently I can get around 100 champ bags and about 50-100 rares in just the course of a few hours, whereas WvW I am lucky to get like 50 heavy loot bags for the same amount of time provided people are actually fighting instead hiding in keeps. Also, beyond just the monetary value of the stuff, there is also the practicality and novelty of it. Like you can do the new content in PvE or the PvP rewards tracks to get the new stats or skins but there isn’t really an option in WvW to get these.

I don’t get what your argument is, I have played wvw solidly most days for 1-2 hours a day for 2 years. I play to have fun with my guildies in battles where the enemy far outweigh our own numbers, i play to have fun with my server mates, i play to make my servers (Gunnars Hold) enemies regret taking that camp, or killing one of our dolyaks. I play the game mode for what it is. That being said i have also crafted 4 legendaries, and a couple of other expensive skins. I do not care for wvw rewards, the chests we get are an added bonus to capping a tower/keep. They do not need improving, and wvwvw does not need to become an endless ktrain full of rewards. That is eotm.

Asking for equal loot is silly, the game mode is not designed for loot, it is a pvp atmosphere where the goal is battle and fun, again, not loot. If you want loot, goto eotm, if you want loot, try pve. But please stop trying to suggest that there should be a change the fundamentals of the game mode because YOU do not feel like you are getting enough loot, because if you are there for loot you are missing the point entirely.

What we do know is that no one wanted these changes, even if they are temporary. unless you can link me to a thread where they do.

I really don’t see the argument for salvageable wvw armor either, as far as i can tell it is there for wvw players to have a cheap way of buying gear that can be either crafted or bought on trading post as in wvw you tend not to make alot of money and this offers you a way to quickly gear a toon with sufficient quality armor. It is not there to make you a quick buck from salvaging.

Actually people just want to salvage their runes back. They don’t want mats or anything from these. I can buy crafted exotics EVEN CHEAPER on Trading post, for that if I wish.

oya that is an issue i didn’t think of this, maybe make it salvagable but the only thing you get from it is your rune.

You guys are forgetting that you can spend badges on ascended gear from the wvw laurel merchants. I don’t know about you but saving some laurels at the cost of badgesto gear all my toons in full ascended certainly drains my badges. Not to mention the thousands of supply traps/disablers i have used. I think you people aith 30k badges must not do much for your server apart from roll staff guardian spam 1 and stay in the zerg. as a scout/roamer i do not get the vast quantaties of badges that you guys get (even though i typicly only play wvw when i’m on gw2) and the ones i do get get spent very quickly on siege/traps/ascended gear for alternate armor choices/new toons.

I really don’t see the argument for salvageable wvw armor either, as far as i can tell it is there for wvw players to have a cheap way of buying gear that can be either crafted or bought on trading post as in wvw you tend not to make alot of money and this offers you a way to quickly gear a toon with sufficient quality armor. It is not there to make you a quick buck from salvaging.

That being said having some WvW only skins/items that cost a high amount of badges/some laurels would me much appreciated anet.

I understand it won’t be a simple fix, and probably won’t even register on the devs radar. But this is a persisting problem and needs to be addressed, sometimes rng works, sometimes it doesn’t but for it to stick us with servers who can’t compete time after time is simply just not right.

Hi, i just want to draw attention to the silly matchups we’ve been getting lately, it’s getting ridiculous, our server is farm from dead and we’re fighting servers who can’t compete with us. Stick us up with the servers higher up than us idc, just stop putting us against these desolate servers..

Ok, at first I was against this, but now I think it will be a nice change, (I play on gunnars hold). Anyhow, I personally think this will be a cool change, it will allow us to compete with the bigger servers we face because, as soon as white swords appear you get blob raining down on your 5 man havoc squad, and as a result you got 0 chance of ninjaing t3 towers/other things.

Personally I think you are all stomping your feet and being ungrateful for them finally starting to implement new things for wvw, sure it may only be a small change now but it gets the ball rolling. So instead of being ungrateful and blissfully ignorant about a change that has yet to be implemented into the game, why don’t you play it when the feature becomes live and then make a judgement based on experience, as opposed to being like this on a forum. It’s odd that when our game mode finally gets some well deserved attention, you guys try to ruin it by insulting the people responsible for the content of said mode.

Just finished incinerator for my ele, CursE had it right, do your clovers first, then focus on your gift of mastery, then gift of incinerator, then gift of fortune, then precursor. I had everything but map, and doing map last was utterly awful so i would reccomend doing it first.

If I didn`t do GvGs I would have stopped playing 1 year ago.
In between GvGs I raid 5 days/week to keep up my practice and kill things on borderlands helping my server.

WvW would be a lot more DEAD without all the GvG players desperately trying to keep guilds alive.

Your opinion is kitten.

No ones opinion means any less than yours just because they offer a different viewpoint. Personally I HATE the GVG guilds we’ve had and when they all left the server before/during summer i was the one happy to slam the door on them. They bring nothing but an overabundant amount of counter-productiveness to wvw. While those guilds have their jolly little fights, keeps and towers fall because they weren’t defending. they were causing a queue on the map and the defenders who would usually upgrade stuff/siege/scout are unable to get in. GVG is not for WVW. You have obsidian sanctum, it is a closed arena seperate to WVW so you can’t cause a tank in points. Bringing gvg into wvw will introduce nothing but problems, if you want GVG ask for a seperate game mode based on gw1s arena system, as stated. Yess guilds in wvw are there to fight and have fun and most can do this without becoming “GVG ONLY 2 PRO 4 U” guilds, defending and attacking enemy stuff in wvw as is supposed to happen.

I hope you find your answer from a Dev because i understand how frustrating it must be to be apart of the community that has no actual home to go to, pvp is too small for you wvw is not right, and obsidian sanctum whilest designed for you cannot meet the purpose as it is limited to matchups. While I do try to empathise with your furstration, i really do not want GvG in regular wvw, and am sure most regular wvw players would feel the same given the negative impact gvg has had on (my servers community) and i’m sure a few others too.

Here is my build, it’s a little different to alot of the d/d eles on this forum. I use it for solo roaming in wvw or with group, though sometimes i switch to 2 in air for swiftness on aura. I find the build is everything i need, i get nice condi removal, nice damage ( crit chance is 40-50% with fury and maintenence oil when i use it) The survivability is nice and tend to win alot of the fights i get into in wvw, and only the trinkets are ascended, which you can get by doing guildmissions/fractals/farming laurels. Though i’m sure you could slot a mix of valk/soldier/cleric in there to make up stat difference. I don’t like might runes b/c by using them you miss out on other boon duration, so i always run with water b/c of the little bit of condi removal and healing it offers, as well as 15% boon duration which imo is priceless.
This is by no means the only build i run, sometimes i switch to 6 in earth, and 4/4 in arcana and water, pick up diamond skin use condi food/utility and run around as a hybrid (it wrecks pu mesmos real good) but i generally always come back to this build for some reason. the 900 healing power is fantastic imo, but yeah, try it, it may not be your cup of tea but it’s cheap gear/runes on the trading post and a nice little build i think
