Guild Wars 2

Which is the 2nd one with one jump? I know the Queensdale bandit cave was stupid quick to get…

Thanks Peter, will check out IntoTheMists as well.

Average crit change I have is 55%

Which is a better choice on a sword/wh WvW build?

Ty

Is this still the best build site for theorycrafting?

http://gw2buildcraft.com/

Noticed it hasn’t been updated with recent changes (Cleansing Ire, etc.)

GG and grats on the win BG.

3rd phase, replace the CEO of ANet with a brainwashed clone.
4th phase, take over the World… vWorld.

Don’t forget new content, some of it is kinda neat and may have drew some away – especially if they are interested in Celestial gear.

Could have sworn SoR had their own community forum where you can post threads specifically for SoR eyes only.

&SoR has never ticked below 20PPT unless they are trying to get a huge guild over, just like they did with IRON & KISS. My guess is they’re trying to get TFV now.

/hands Kathy a tinfoil hat

Ditto the 0-0-20-30-20 variant.
Christos was dead right in the flexability of Healway.

Or in a tower on an AC?

I kid, I kid….

If only I could watch the vid on my iPhone.

I’m in this position right now (deciding between the two).

Used to main a Ranger for WvW but wanted to change it up.

My geared Guardian feels solid, well designed but yeah, it’s like a tank (think M1 Abrams, not MMO type) kinda slow, clunky.

I like a more mobile playstyle (hence my Ranger fondness) but also want to be able to have group support so am now working on gearing up my Warrior so I can give him a fair try in WvW (only in Rares/Exotics right now).

Both classes are really good, I think the main decider is which you jive with more.

Am running it with 4 Altruism and 2 Water since I’m not a dungeon runner, works fine.
There is a lot of flexability in this set up which is great if you want to experiment.

Aberrant.6749:

… yet you chose a game where any class can stealth & leap away…

/facepalm

pot – just let us know when it’s ok for us to log in and play, cool?

That is correct. Just remember, it’s o-beer-thirty somewhere in the world at any given time.

I use to think pot was annoying, now I just want to give him/her/it a hug every time I see them post.

Aberrant.6749:

…And that’s the fault of the game that you didn’t choose a norn, won’t learn how to counter a thief, won’t stop running full zerk… and thus thieves/stealth need a nerf? Sillyness.

Not arguing that aspect, see my last post, was arguing the “every class can stealth” but that is neither here nor there at this point.

Aberrant.6749:

What you may be experiencing though is that roaming builds will beat non-roaming builds 1v1. This is intended.

I do fully agree to this statement – like it or not stealth is part of the WvW meta, build with that in mind. Don’t go wandering around the map in your zerg tweaked build solo – chances are you’ll wander into a permastealth 1vX spec’ed thief who’s sole purpose is to find you, kill you and eat your liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

“Native access to stealth”
As in can stealth without outside influence.

But I think we need to break out the scapels since we’re now splitting hairs.

Aberrant.6749:

Dawdler.8521:

Aberrant.6749:

Every single class can stealth.

I have honestly never seen say a Warrior or Guardian user their stealth skills.

But I guess you proved me wrong, every class can stealth.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Become_the_Snow_Leopard

Yup. They can.

You are really grasping here.
Ok, my Human/Asura/Sylvarri/Charr Warrior and Guardian do not have native access to stealth…and don’t try to throw the karma item from the Charr noob zone as an example – it isn’t the same mechanic.

salluks.6017:

Wow amzaing, this alone can compete with the new spvp and and new pve zone

The Outmanned buff has been renamed to Outnumbered.

/sarcasm

Wonder if this was changed due to Political Correctness…at least it was a simple change that didn’t take them too much time (I hope).

I think I’m just going to go back to forgeting this thread exists…can we have a separate thread that is JUST for point updates and absolutely nothing else?

“Rangers are OP”???

Drugs are bad, m’kay….

But the rest is correct….

Geeze, there is a way to offer your option without being a total kitten you know…

Man, been so long I’d forgotten what server I was on, loved AC, had high hopes for AC2 but it wasn’t meant to be.

I miss the character customization in that game… /sniff

-Disregard, resolved, thanks!-

Yeah, I have 1 sword with Precision that I use to build stacks then I swap to my “main” sword.

This is good information, I appreciate it – I’d forgotten about the compounding effect of the 5% on force. But the doube effect of added damage and heal from Strength is very yummy…

So many choices…

Good job BG on a well fought and fairly earned win.

Any bets on if Anet’s Awesome RNG-o-matic splits us up this week?

Quick question -

Running an AH guardian in WvW, crit chance is 35%+ ish.

Which sigil should I be using on my GS?
Strength
Blood
Other?

Thanks in advance…

…I must WvW too much because that is EXACLY what I thought OP meant too….

Man, I could claim to be Indo’s uncle (scary thought) – doesn’t make it true.

OP has 7 previous posts, 2 of which were about Eles over a month ago and the 5 in this thread.

Never heard of him and no signature.

I give him about a 5 outta 10 in troll.

Nice being in the same guild isn’t it?

Oh please – you are really something. Post on our guild forum then, I’ll be looking for it.

In a 3 way fight someone, somewhere is going to get a 2v1 situation, either intentional or accidental.

It happens – to everyone – deal with it.

Either ANet has to switch to a 2 server head to head format (would be awesome to get the QQ quelled) or to a 4 server format…which will just lead to someone complaining about 3v1…

And I never hear anyone in our TS complaining about being 2v1’d.

Everyone, I did not post this just to get thrown back in my face, tiers do NOT have to do with population, Sactum of Rall was once in tier 2 – 3, and by points, they got into tier 1.

right. you got more points when the WvW population of SOR outnumbered the WvW population of your enemies.

There is not skill in winning WvW. Only coverage.

NO, it is pure skill, pure comunity , pure coordination for SOR to win.
for others to win it is just coverage

For Blackgate its different. Numbers, community, coordination do not matter here.

For Blackgate, it starts with our morning routine. We start by putting some awesome-sauce on our toast before we make 20 laps around LA with our lolerskates screaming, “WE’RE #1”

Our afternoon meal is a high protein diet. Every noon meal, we kill an afker in LA and roast him over a spittle. Then we take communal man poos into the mystic forge. So maybe community is important here on BG.

In the evening (I can only speak for NA primetime here), we gather the guilds together for an awesome RP session. We work ourselves up into a Tarnished Coast style role-playing nerd frenzy. Battles from Braveheart, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, The Patriot, The Alamo and Street Fighter are played while a great motivator screams about things precious to the NA players in BG: “MURICA” “FREEDOM” “BALD EAGLES”.

We then go WvW.

So community is important here.

This
Is
Epic

I don’t know what skill lag is like above T3 but since I moved to a lower tier, skill lag while present isn’t an overall big issue. I agree that they should address the issue, but keep in mind no other MMO (that I know of) can scale fights this large with this level of skill diversity. To fix the problem quickly, they could cap populations but my guess is that would make players more upset.

The fights in this game aren’t that large to be honest. I have had far bigger fights in other MMOs without their server puking… not sure what games you have played.

Man, I miss DAOC sometimes…

Excalibur.9748:

maybe if you didn’t bandwagon to the most stacked server, you wouldn’t have skill lag issues.

Need a hug?

Also been here from beginning but haters gonna hate…

I’m sure you speak for a lot of people OP. The skill lag is out of control.

I’m noticing a decline in normal attendance this week from SoR. I could list a bunch of excuses as to why that is but I’m sure that is the case on the other servers as well. BG just seems to want to win this week so GG BG on your victory this week you guys really earned it this time.

Its not over until reset

Ya I know that bro but I’m calling it now. I personally don’t care If we win or lose I’m in it for the fights, most of rallians share that sentiment. Welp back to getting 1g per dungeon complement.

Not going to get any fights bro if you don’t show up…just saying.

It’s not over till it’s over.

20-0-30-20-0

A little less damage, a lot more sustain.

It’s a version of bleed so whatever was the bleed counterpart before is my guess.

Shiren.9532:

Chopps.5047:

Maybe you should find access to swiftness so you can close a gap? Hmm…if only there was a trait…

Yeah, cause rangers are the only class with access to swiftness, man that boon is so hard to get. I don’t see everyone in WvW with swiftness + some other form of IMS such as Ride the Lightning.

JustTrogdor.7892:

My guess is the “quitters” will be back. I hope they didn’t delete their characters already. Scratch that. If they did I hope they took the time to mail me their gold.

On another note my highest level character is a ranger I use for PvE. I’ll just have to work to adapt my play style to fit in with the changes. I don’t mind new challenges.

Yeah, there will be usefull builds still, probably more than a few. In time peeps will adjust and still have fun with the class.

…I’m switching to my Guardian for WvW though.

Einlanzer.1627:

Rangers are being hysterical and reactionary. The changes are in the right direction. Longbow buffs with more clearly defined roles for each bow type. Shortbow will still be very playable. Pet nerfs aren’t a big deal because pets have always represented too much of a ranger’s power.

Rangers have been asking for one of two things:

1- Make the pet able to hit moving targets
or
2- Reduce the pets damage and move it towards the ranger

They didn’t do #1 and they did the first part of #2…I like the change to longbow but they pooped on shortbow in the process.

Now the Wilderness and Nature magic, those were some interesting changes but they weren’t what the community was asking for – therefore you get a lot of PO’d peeps.

So I have to reduce all sounds because of one poorly implemented item?

Sounds reasonable! Sign me up…

While we are at it when we /block someone let’s turn off all chat….

If they would just make the darn pet HIT a moving target I wouldn’t mind the dps reduction…then I would believe ANet as being capable of balance…

Poor Rangers…

Look at Anet patch history…we have the right to be a touch cynical based on experience.

But didn’t Anet also say “If fighting a thief you can’t pin down, just move on?”

…now we won’t be able to move on without taking damage.

Bravo Anet /slow clap

ANet on fighting a thief: Just move on from them
(2 months later)
ANet: Now thieves cause movement to damage you.

/facepalm
