Nope.

Warrior shouts

I don’t like axe/axe. Offhand ace just doesn’t hold up to the others. I think u would be better with mace. Also might wanna consider celestial stats and run a hybrid build. S/S is great for condi. Don’t like the scholar runes either. U will be below 90% health most of the fight making them subpar

Are u running in a zero or small group/solo?

Rifle is just so bad compared to longbow. Once you factor in the burn and bleed the dps of rifle over lb is minimal at best. Add in blind, immobilization, massive fire field, blast finisher, and the auto attack is a double hit giving up twice the chance to proc bleed or vulnerability. LB is the far superior weapon.

For fractals, the hammer perma protections build is best in my mine.

If ur running 25 min 50s on a regular basis then u have a very good group. The average fractal run, not even just the average player, isn’t gonna break 35 very often.

U should get 1g per reward tier so a 50 would be 6g

Healing signet is just so strong compared to the others

Run great sword / long bow. Give you good damage and the mobility and utility to help u take down harder mobs

Warrior highest dps right now is in condi

Is this for dungeon or general pve?

The problem with pve is there is an otimal way to do things. Build can vary depending on what is in ur party but the basic premises will remain the same

Condi is the way to beat turret engineer

Condi condi condi. But way to beat engineer

I run a 0/6/4/4/0 for wvw and pvp. I run rabid in pvp and dire in wvw, both with krait runes. It’s works pretty good

how does the stealth spike work? I’ve been hit by it a couple time and can’t figure it out

so ive been doing pvp for while now and the only class i constantly have a problem with is mesmers. can’t fuigure out how to beat them. i look for buffs but half the time the clones have the buff to. i’ve try playing mesmer to get a feel for how to beat them but can’t seam to figure out how these mesmers do it cause i get wrecked all the time on mine. anyone have any advise?

So just to clarify, I understand that you’re having general difficulties with mesmers, but are you also having difficulties picking the real mesmer out of the clones?

yeah more with picking out the real one more so than actually fighting them but advise on both is appreciated

400 matches
bust warrior/power ranger usally
pu mesmer

I’m still a fan of ss/lb condi myself

The only time having more than one warrior is worth while is when u have no to ele or engi to might stack

Please point to me these “non elder dragons”.

Because all we see are mounds of ice, earth, crystal, lightning, fire, bone, and flesh melded into that dragon shape.

Canthan dragons don’t count, for they are different than the dragons we speak of – dragons of the European shape. And even then, only the Saltspray Dragons seem to be “real” dragons (turtle dragons are just drake-like turtles; dragonmoss is just drake-like plants, etc.).

The Six Gods do seem to be more than “humans infused with massive amounts of power” – the only source for otherwise in-game is the work of an asura who speaks of things he shouldn’t possibly know (Gadd speaks of dragons, yet died before they were known to mortal races, let alone the fact that they consume magic).

If u exclude cantha then there r no other living dragons. There r some dragon like bones in gw1. As for the human gods, komir is exactly a human infused with massive power to be come a god. Grenth’s father was human and his mother is dwayna so the god can at the very least mate with humans

Dragons are a race. There are other non elder dragons than the elder dragons. Perhaps the elder dragons are "dragon god". Kinda like how the human gods seam to be nothing more than regular human s infused with massive amounts of power perhaps it the same for the elder dragons

The charr fractal takes place right before the foe fire so we already have a charr side perspective of it. There is so many things Anet could tie into here. Perhaps rytlock runs into komir and she gives him vital info on the dragons.

That’s the Searing, actually.

It’s the foe fire. The charr never breached ascalon city before the day of the foe fire. The charr used the searing to breach the wall but we’re unable to breach the city

Other than the avatar elites the dervish had no direct connection with the gods so bringing them into the game wouldn’t matter there. The problem is dervish is a medium armored class and in terms of that we need a heavy class to balance.

What’s a “dev” ?

Abaddon was the god of water. That’s y the margonites , a sea fairing race, worshiped him

There is still the massive undead army controlling elona

People complained about wvw maps being all the same so eotm has 3 different areas. Also the point of eotm is so people don’t have to sit in a que to play it. Capping it would defeat that purpose

Does no one get that warrior needs this mobility to be able to attack with melee weapon?

There is also the tengu to consider. If the humans could convince them to join them in the war they could hold out against the others for a long time. The tengu being a race of warriors and honor would mist likely only fight with those who share similar traits. The assuran would have almost no chance to get tengu add. The norn and charr are distance enough that the tengu my not be willing the ally with them. While the tengu and humans have had their differences, the geographical closeness and that facts that they know human have honorable warrior and that the 2 seam to have had some sort of peace for a while now would make them the most likely race to ally with.

There r a lot of variable to deal with. If (a very big if) someone could unite the norn they would be unstoppable. As shown by eir they are nor just all brawn. They may not have technology like the others but they are far superior physically with just as much or even more magic than any other race. The same is true with the assuran to a degree but even together they could not stop a true norn army. The humans would probably be done for. Unless they could convince the bandits and centaur they are better off with the humans in charge than any other race. Who ever could convince the centaurs to fight with they wins kryta. For the charr it comes down to what the other races do. The could beat the humans in kryta as long as the bandits and centaurs let them be. They would have little chance against the norn in the shiverpeaks due to the fact the norn will at least to some degree fight as a group to defend their home. Same with the assuran but it’s possible the charr could over come them at some point.

so looking at the globe in the wiper’s headquarters its pretty clear that what we can access is a very very samll portion of the map. That got me to thinking that maybe there r more dragons. Maybe there is a whole race of them with 100’s existing. It doesn’t make sense that only this tiny area of the world is populated

Alliances can work but there needs to be more the 3 of them

So just a theory here but I think they locked the higher tier servers because of the recent flood of new players to the game. Where all the people r coming from Idk but I can say the in my guild on sor i know of at least 13 people that stated the game in the last 2 months and have heard much of the same form other guilds. Perhaps Anet is hoping these new people will take up wvw and balance out things a bit

It is possible to get close to 1500 heal per second but not worth it.

I think the best way to try and resolve imbalanced matches is instead of glicko rating determining the match ups, use active population. Measure the amount of people logging in over the past week (or 2 weeks?) and at what times and match up servers with similar patterns.

The biggest and the smallest servers will still always be together.

Tiers rankings don’t need to be changed, the fullest servers will continue to be T1.

Bandwagons/implosions can be detected and corrected within a couple of weeks. Instead of taking 3 months to go from where you are to where you should be it could take 3 weeks.

Lopsided coverage would be avoided as much as possible. This mostly only applies to OCX and SEA. Meaning those servers with said player base will be in the top third of the tiers. I think they pretty much all are anyway. Instead of being spread out across 3 or 4 tiers it could be 2 or 3.

This might lead to prolonged periods of identical match ups. You can put in a fail safe after a set amount of weeks that forces a server to go up or down tiers based of points/performance. It might still end up being a blow out match but it will still be corrected the next week.

There can still be a weighted scoring system to put a buffer on possible blow out weeks. If a server doesn’t belong in the tier from coverage there doesn’t have to be 400k-100k-50k score board. The next weeks match up can correct this. Everyone still has a meaningful contribution to their servers performance during the week. Weighted scores would also mean you can still win, or not lose, a match up even if you have less people. Thus, promoting high quality play instead of playing more hours.

Servers can still have their communities. No-one is forced anywhere with anyone. No-one or groups of people are locked out of their match ups with capacity restrictions.

I’m not sure about bad things, I’m sure there is some.

Matching by population isn’t a bad idea but some servers with low numbers but high skill would absolutely crush people

I don’t want server mergers. I like fights but I would rather pvd than have to fight 80 man blobs every day

U do realize that there r guild capable of fielding 40 by them self right? What r they suppose to do?

I do realize this. They could do what my guild does and split into smaller groups and hit multiple objectives while coordinating attacks on TS.

Or they could transfer to ET. They have the space.

So ur gonna force guild to change the way they enjoy playing? They are the life blood of gw2. If they cripple them then gw2 will collapse

I thought I just had that I should add is that signet would be better only if it breaks stun which I can’t remember right now if it does

Pvp probably signet. You don’t need the swiftness and the added toughness is nice. Plus u might b able to take signet mastery the make them the same duration. In wvw balance stance is probably a bit better but gonna depend on how u spec

Yeah I think wvw players are more likely to buy gems with real money cause they don’t have any gold to buy them with.

Warrior tend to take the brunt of the enemy attack they well melt is anything less than pvt.

Not if you avoid damage using very basic abilities. Dodging, staying out of red circles, kiting, blocks, invulnerabilities, etc.

If two evenly skilled 10 man groups faced off against each other while one is all zerk and the other is all PVT hammer train warrior guardians, then the zerker group would win. We do this all the time against “zerg comp” guilds. Pretty easy fights and it’s hilarious to see the zerg builds complain in PMs about being murdered.

This may work on smaller servers, but on T1-2 you are hardly ever just fighting perfectly organized 10 man groups.

Against a large zerg you will melt as a zerker.

I don’t see a lot of groups of only 10 in tier 6

Pve pvp or wvw?

Kaga.7629:

PVT is scrubbage gear for bunnyrabbits. Anyone that claims to do “hot shii” damage with pvt is a liar ( the DPS is from the other 4 guys doing pewpew).

Any warrior serious about wvw should avoid it completely.

Wtf r u talking about? Warrior tend to take the brunt of the enemy attack they well melt is anything less than pvt. Unless ur running zerg busting with a really organized group u should have pvt armor with optional accessories.

There is a mission in gw1 where u defend glints eggs which implies they pose a threat in some form

Zaganna.6034:

First of all, I want to thank you all who replied to this topic. All of you helped me to obtain a bigger picture of the situation.

Furthermore, while I too think that most dungeon are easy, I wanted to ask the efficenty of PS in Fractal.
Also, I was thinking to use strenght rune even on my 6/5/0/0/3 warrior, because I don’t run with organized groups, so I dont trust myself enought to play with Scholar runes.
So, in this scenario, do you think I can constanly switch easly between the two builds?

I would say no to PS in fractals because you can’t really stay stacked on a boss long enough to make it worth ur own personal dps loss. There are places where it works. Such as bloom hunger. But as a general rule stick to the dps build

Pvt shout build with guard stack is 30k that’s with zerk accessories
