I use 30/0/0/20/20. Trying to stack as much might/fury I can. Zerker gear, get as much crit dmg and crit % as possible.

I would really go for 30 in fire and Arcane of you plan on stacking might/fury. EA is a quarantied blast every 9 seconds.

As for gear, zerker is always the best, Scholar runes are always the best.

I put 20 in water to get 20% less CD on cantrip. Then Lightning flash CD is about the same as Churning earth, I always use them two together. I have also traited the 3 extra stacks of migth when using a cantrip skill. Makes up for one extra blast finisher imo.

I use 30/0/0/20/20. Trying to stack as much might/fury I can. Zerker gear, get as much crit dmg and crit % as possible.

Here’s how to reproduce what Im talking about:

1. Press the key for your ground target skill, the aoe circle shows instead of your cursor, green if in range, red if out of range.
2. Drag aoe circle so it becomes red (out of range)
3. Left mouse click
4. The ground target skill deactivatesand you have to repeat from step number 1.

What I suggest is to make the skill still active until user either:
A. Left click when skill is in range
B. Right click (working now)
C. Select new ground targeting skill (working now)

Whenever you activate a ground target skill and try to use it out of range, the skill deactivates and you have to activate it again. Please dont deactivate it, let me spam my left mouse bottom untill the skill fires in the area I want to place it.

This is the best troll Ive seen in my life! What en excellent preformance to de-rail a topic. Hats off, sir.

Found it on other traits, thanks!

I cant seem to find it (looking at fresh air). Can you provide a screenshot?

After I read all the traits tooltips I noticed the CD info is gone. Is it just missing the info or dont we have CD anymore on our traits?

Clark Skinner.4902:

I can’t understand how they can think that crafting something was free since they gathered the mats.

Say that you are out walking. You are hungry and need to eat something. You stumble over a Snickers on the side walk. You pick it up. You can now sell it but since you are hungry you eat it. How much did you pay for that candy bar? In my perspective nothing, since you were hungry and was going to buy something to eat anyways.

Hey Ruby, let me introduce you to As Stars We Belong [STAR]

We are located on Blacktide, just as you. We are a small, but active guild. You will be playing with the same people everyday, make bounds and become friends with us. Our prime time is on Europe evenings, exactly those hours you play.

We do everything this game has to offer, all depending on the mood of the players that are online. Dungeons, WvW, World bosses, PvP tournaments ect ect. But we never force players to do any content they dont enjoy.

We are casual, laid back and just playing to have fun!

Give me a whisper if this sounds intresting.

Played elem with staff for a year. I recently switched to S/D instead and I killed my first player in 1 vs 1 with just a few hours of getting to know the build and skills. Now u got to have skills to beat me 1 vs 1. Never thought pvp and wvw could be so fun ^^

And this video showed me some hints about elem I havnt even thought of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRo6W22FfTI

Elementalist is a really fun class to play! Love it!

As Star As We Belong is a small, lay back guild. We have 25 members atm (we have decided on a 30 member limit to keep us small), usually around 4-7 online during evenings. We do all kinds of stuff together and WvW roaming is one thing we do. One evening every week we dedicate to defend towers against enemy zergs.

If this sounds intresting, you can read up more about us on our website

We are located on Blacktide.

Take a look at the numbers requiering for the titles in WvW. Whoever gets it deserves a title, a medal and a kiss from queen Jennah.

Randulf.7614:

I still don’t like the time limit, but that’s just the way it is sadly.

Conspiracy theory: The time limit is there to force players to use 3rd party guides to be able to complete it in time.

We could try to play a game, Ill hide somewhere in Tyria and you and your guild try to find me in 20 min. Lets see how easy that is without any hints at all.

Blacktide support this. We need a 120 min timer. Please fix. /sarcasm

Using Ride the lightning on a boss that doesnt move around (Wurm, Tequatl, Fire Elemental, Golem Mark ect ect) will move me to the boss, stay in the spark for a few seconds and then miss the attack.

Same thing happens on gates in WvW.

You all blame blacktiders for running in large zergs. But explain to me how else we should take down doors, if not building a treb?

Pechic.8406:

I didnt expect those number from server that is that low in ranking.

As the score stands at this moment, Blacktide has a higher ranking than RoS.

Vaugh.7193:

Blacktide only zerg thier own BL if there is an enemy zerg on the map.

:D Hah that was funny, gimme some more.

Not sure what you are laughing akittens kitten frustrating for a defensive oriented player to see all his teammates get pulled of the map when enemy zerg moved away and no more towers to flip. Re-cap is the strategy of a common blacktider, and building treb infront of doors.

Blacktide only zerg thier own BL if there is an enemy zerg on the map.

UglyAsianBoi.4879:

They should have warned players that consumables were going to be useless in the next patch, but they didn’t.

1. Buy this game to you mom
2. She starts playing and keep you informed about changes in game that everyone else knows of
3. ????
4. Profit.

Hello! You seems to be a little lost, world recruitment can be found here

Memphisjz.1405:

They even had to bring a ladder

Bringing a ladder to a tower would be kind of epic. +1 for that suggestion. And all the other ones too.

Ashabhi.1365:

If given the choice, I would rather have the “last log-in” feature instead. Other than guessing or requiring web site attendance, there is no way to tell when someone quits the game or has been gone so long that you forget them.

You can! By logging your members AP you can see if someone actually plays or not. Its a pain to compare screenshots, but its the only tool in the toolbag we got.

Gandarel.5091:

Btw this “skill charging” was promised in early development some years ago. We were told that there will be cast time in the game, but you can abort it and finish the spell, but will deal less damage. As far as i remember.

Thats how Elementalist Meteor shower works.

Oakos.2417:

1) Date someone joined the guild

I havnt read all the replies and someone allready tol you this, but the time a player has been in a guild can be seen in the roster history.

I can think of one reason the karma bottles has to be in the game: When you get RNG of karma bottles, as from Orrian Boxes. It would be really hard to understand why an Orrian Box sometimes give 600 karma back and other times 1500 karma for someone without any insight.

Hey!

You would suit right in with us in As Stars We Belong [STAR] of Blacktide. We are currently about 20 members and we wont grow larger than 30. Beeing active in guild chat is a must for small community like ours!

You are welcome to join us, try us out and guest our server before finally deciding if we suit your needs.

We have a website where you can find more info about us and events we do, ect.

I havnt tested this, but if turning around cancels skill, shouldnt the key for turning 180 degrees work (I belive Ive seen it)? Maybe a doubble tap on that key, do a 360, and select a new skill to use.

Me and my guild claims and defend towers against enemy zergs just for fun, isnt that the best reward of all?

Standing on a wall, waiting 2 hours for a zerg to run up to your tower doesnt suit everyone tho.

First time I tried to command I got suppressed after 3 map chat messages, several min appart, just linking where to go next. Niether /m /t or /s would then work for an hour or so. Kind of a horrible first experience as a commander.

Man, I’d turn off my game and not come back to it for a couple days if that had happened to me. Things like that just make me so mad :/ Sorry that you had to experience that too

The game is to much fun to turn off, but I did turn off Commander for about 3-4 months. This monday I was finnaly ready to turn it back on again, after a few hundreds of hours of therapy.

I see one flaw with this system: If the green team owns everything on thier homelands, it discurage the other teams to enter that map to take it over, since it will just boost thier points per tick.

It might work better if you count the resistance across all maps.

Niim.9260:

I think it has merit, but part of the issue is not the number of people, its the time of day they play. In ANET’s position that all hours of the day are equal, they actually in fact made off hour for north america more important coverage wise and any server with an off hour population is better positioned even if their overall population is the same.

How does that fit within your proposed system?

This has been suggested before: It can be fixed by PPT is relative to the total amount of players playing WvW at the time of the tick.

ProxyDamage.9826:

I think I’m laughing harder at the idea of someone that has been spending 2g every single time they wanted to retrait because they were too lazy to read.

Actually, you cant reset your traits with buying the same manual again, nothing happens when you click on it. And the manual can be sold on TP. So the net loss is just a few silvers for not reading the dialog. (talking from personal experience)

Im sorry if I killed your happy mood there buddy.

Chromosome.7498:

Conclusion: when the truth contained? With true reward. Contained the kind of interesting that makes you want to persevere. In short, the kind of which contained no game is on.

With 45 min of game per day, I have the same stuff, the same skin, the same advantage than a player who play 8 hours per day.

Players who plays 8 hours of day has 8 hours of fun. You on other hand only have 45 min of fun. We play becouse games are fun or did I miss something?

I had the same problem but with light armor, I found out that vigil armor works very well with guild armor. Good options is however very limited.

Psychol.5783:

I don’t know exactly what it is but I’m talking about something that they throwing which knockbacks to the hell that I can’t even get up.
They are using knockback instead of vapor form also and turrets.

Is it a Guardian with a staff that you mixing up with an Elementalist?

Uruvion.8309:

they make a great game and some good content every month but they don’t have a working search bar ?

Working with the web and the game is quite diffrent, most likeley not the same staff.

A good designed game doesnt mean you have a bug free website.

Maybe I would agreed with you if it werent for the cap of 5 target. If 20 players standing still inside a MS, most of the players wont even get hit twice, dealing about 1-2k dmg.

Are you sure its not Arrow carts that kitten es you off?

ArkAngel.7940:

I still haven’t tested the majority theory.

Ive payed attention to who and how many from other guilds that are around when capturing camps and towers. All the times when my guild had the majority inside the capturing circle I was able to claim it. Even with a commander inside it from a larger guild (the size of the guild theory can be written off).

Dannys answers seems to be correct.

To kill the off topic discussion:
Its stated in my orginal question that I want to give my world +5 supply buff on camps/tower. And Im trying to find the answere why I cant at some times.

But big thanks for bumping the question tho

Danny.6417:

If your guild has the most people in the circle when you captured the objective (let’s say camp), your guild can claim it first. Others guilds have to wait 3 (NOT 5) minutes before they can claim, so when the Supervisor’s buff reaches 2 min., you can claim it.

This is intresting, kind of reflects my own experiences from yesterday.

It however doesnt explain why I got the option to claim the keep in the zerg when I spammed F. After closing the dialog and entering again, the option dissapeared. Is it a bugg? Exploit? Or an intentional bypass to make a small guilds claim stuff if eager enough?

Today I was able to claim all camps we took over. We did however roamed more with ourselves today.

When we joined the zerg for an attack on a keep, I spammed F on guild claimer location while we took it over. I was able to claim it at first, but after closing the dialog the option disapeared.

We were 1 min late on an attack on a tower as my team allready took it. We then didnt had the option to claim it. We waited and when the RI went down to around 1:50 we could claim it.

Its still very confusing to me how the mechanism actually works. And if I should be unable to claim stuff while the RI is up, is that considered an exploit?

Neeho.3859:

For some reason, after taking a camp or tower, ~50% of the time if someone takes supply before you can get to the guild claimer and claim, it locks out the ability for ANY GUILD AT ALL to claim for at least 5 minutes. It has been this way since launch and does not seem to be on Anet’s radar. Why taking supply would have anything to do with claiming an objective is beyond me, but I guess weirder things have happened.

Ive been unable to claim camps when it has just been me and my guildies taking it over. No one have taken supplies before I try to claim it.

Hule.8794:

There is sometimes a cooldown for this option.

This X variable is exactly what my question is all about.

Im trying to claim camps and towers to give my world 5 extra supplies. Sometimes I get the option, sometimes not. Whats the rules to be able to claim a camp and tower?

From gw2 wiki:
Whenever an objective is captured, any guild may claim it. A claimed objective will display its guild’s banner and benefit from any Art of War Upgrades. Guilds can claim only one objective per map. A guild cannot claim an objective as long as the respective guild claiming NPC is under the effects of Righteous Indignation that lasts longer than 1 minute.

Facts:

• No one have claimed the camp/tower yet
• I have allready claimed another camp/tower and I wish to override it
• Its been more than 4 min since I last capture a camp/tower and claimed it
• My guild is small (20 ppl, I read somewhere that bigger guilds have priority on claiming, anyone can confirm?)

I have seen guilds running from camp to camp and claim it, so it should work, it just doesnt for my guild.

Now I feel like a total noob after reading this topic. How can you tell the class of a player by just looking at the armor? I can understand that you can put them into heavy, medium or light armor, but how can you tell the diffrence from a staff using mesmer and elementalist, by just looking at clothes?

You can’t, not until they start shooting at you or you highlight them and look at their health bar. It’s just an excuse PvPers use to make it seem like a big deal, when in actuality, it’s not. Visual appearance means nothing in GW2 when multiple people share the same armor type. They are against it cause they just don’t want to see it. Period. It has nothing to do with visual distinction of the profession, it’s just cause they don’t want it. That’s all.

Thank you! Now I can go back and feel like a pro again.

CC Shiloh.3512:

The old guild forums have been archived so you can’t create new posts in there.

Read topic again, its not the old guild forum he cant post in, it is in the new guild recruitment forum.

Im getting the same message. I thought it was to prevent me to spam recruit messages to my guild.

With good siege placement, 5 ppl can chase of a mindless zerg that use no tactics at all with ease. Against a tactical zerg you just need to out smart the attackers.

Take your friends and try to actually defend a tower for an evening or a few hours and you will see what I mean.
