So there I was queueing in heart of a mists like a good pvper with my legendary queue time (anywhere from 30 to infinite minutes).
I tab out. Cause, you can only spend so much time fussing around with your build and rereading traits before you get bored. I’m watching justin beiber videos and falling asleep to his sensual voice. I miss the queue pop. My bad Anet! I’ll take my dishonor, I deserve it.
I requeue once my timeout is up. I tab out again. Sometime later I look at my taskbar and see guild wars 2 flashing. Is it a queue pop? No, its me getting d/c’d for inactivity.
Anyway, I have my Guild Wars 2 audio set to persist even when the window isn’t in focus, and it plays through my headset while my own music plays through my speakers instead.
I never miss a queue pop that way!

But senpai-sama, it counters Thief. Surely, such a rare and impossible novelty must be buffed? I propose a 0 sec icd on this trait, that its infinite range taunt be doubled in duration, and that it applies a dot that takes 50% of taunted hp’s max hp per second while taunted. Please, its the only way to fight Thieves they’re just op.
What the actual kitten nanodesunoyo?
That’s an absurd suggestion! The dot should clearly take 100%!

Blaming others feels good because it gets the burden of responsibility off our shoulders.
Besides, we are perfect little creatures and it’s never our fault. Right?
However if we want to progress in this game (and in life), we need the help and cooperation of others. Often, blaming them is counter-productive. A better alternative is to teach those who are receptive to advice. Doing so will slowly improve the enjoyment everyone gets out of the game.
Someone else posted that before. It’s fricken hilarious.
That was hilarious. I was a little kid when Street Fighter 2 came out in the arcade and remember seeing people waiting in line to play.
Was sarcastic about being perfect. I blush when I think about the hopeless noob crap I did in the past.
“You’re a one-trick-pony! You’re a one-trick-pony, Bro! What’s the matter? You don’t know what to do when you can’t jump? You don’t know what to do?! You gonna jump again? Don’t do it. Don’t do it. DON’T YOU DO IT!”

“Mesmer – got multiple way to deal with condition, damage, by himself and also support the party, also give strong zoning and CC potential to get kill.”
Mesmer has had multiple ways to deal with conditions. The only new way we got was the heal well.
Which isn’t that great if it’s a power build slamming into your face.
The biggest caveat to bunker mesmer, is that it doesn’t have to take travelers runes (As the movespeed buff is a minor trait for chrono), and it has portal.
Put the move speed buff on the domination trait line.
That would actually be a small swing at chrono bunker, no effect on chrono shatter, and a small buff for normal mesmer.
Chrono Bunker would have to ask whether it wants to move as slow as an epileptic turtle, or swap out durability runes for travelers.
Or, would it want to swap one of its necessary trait lines for domination?
You’ll note, I didn’t suggest dueling.
Dueling would be pretty powerful for a mixed burst/bunker mesmer, and would make its heals bigger. So swapping say, chaos for dueling, wouldn’t be a horrible deal. You lose some stab and boons, but gain 25% movement speed, dodge clones, and blinds.
Thus, I suggested domination to make it a much harder choice. Domination isn’t as good unless it’s paired with dueling.
That’s never gonna happen.

Honestly, I see more people exploiting. It’s sad. Today was my last day playing GW2 I spent all week trying to get up in rank only to have all my hard work shot down by an unbalanced system. This game and it’s new pvp system is a scam. I can’t even enjoy it anymore. I regret spending money on HoT.

A person who held a home point for 10 minutes and has 10 points while his team lost the game trying to 4v5 is equal to the same as a person who has 10 points and solo died 15 times trying to take back home.
Points do matter. Learn to rotate.
10*60/2=300
That’s 300 team score holding 1 captured point for 10 minutes.

A good response! I love watching Guild Wars 2 PvP! I watched every single one of those videos that you were so kind as to save to your YouTube channel! Thank you very much!
Anyway to replicate that level of skill or coordination without teamspeak?
Eh?
They’re playing a completely different game from SoloQ’ers so their tactics might not be worth trying to replicate in a lower division.
I understand what you’re saying and what you asked.
What I don’t understand is why you specifically quoted me with your question.

1 home 4 mid. Don’t go far. Pretty simple but most ppl don’t get it.
After that READ THE MINI MAP.
only go far if you KNOW you can win the 1 v 1 in 40 seconds or less .
Why is not going far a good thing?
Seriously is the dumbest thing that gets repeated over and over again in this game. If a team does a 1-3-1 split and you go 1-4. That means you have a contested home, they capped far and you literally would have to kill somebody in 10 sec at mid in a 4 vs 3 to win that point.
Best yet, the person at home loses to the person running a 1 vs 1 build. The other team sent 2 bunkers to mid who support one another so you didnt get the kill there and now your triple capped.
Just like anything else in this game its about winning even number fights and taking advantage of odd number fights. Simply put if you couldnt win 3 vs 3 at mid its your fault not the person who went far. Home got decapped and person lost the far fight. The question becomes how come no one at mid was counting heads and saw you were fighting 4 vs 3/2/1 if you were getting the kills and capped it?
Im seeing so many people in the ruby/diamond rank who have no clue what they are talking about and that needs to stop.
you go 1 3 1. unless you are a thief you will most likely not get to far before they cap it. Every team send a bunker to bunk home . Any bunker in div3 or higher will NOT lose a 1 v 1 . meanwhile you are 4 v 3 at mid. With the new meta everyone is spaming ae you will lose mid and pretty much get screwed.
What? As someone currently playing Bunker Chronomancer, my role is to contest far, and I get there before the cap without Blink often with an enemy trying to to stop me.
If I’m graced by a wonderful 1v2, I’ll hold it for as long as I can to allow my team the advantage in numbers elsewhere before dropping Portal Entre and kindly leaving.
The other Bunker Chronomancer caps home and then drops his Portal Entre there.

Everyone acts like they’re legendary league level players. Is the match making any good? No, but everyone needs to stop acting like they’re good enough to play against the top tier players. If you are, then put a full 5 man together and go out there and grab the status you crave.
As an fyi, I’ll buy double the gems to cover for the OP not purchasing any.

More specifically in the current bunker meta, the bunkers will generally have less score than the other class roles on the team. However, once again recall that this most certainly is a bunker meta and the team that out-sustains the other team generally wins by point-ticks. See the attached screen-shot for clarification. Soul and I played the bunker roles for our team and we are at the bottom of our respective side of the scoreboard. Dystoria also scored less than our DPS as well and was also playing a third point-holding support role.
Granted, you may not see this as much at lower divisions and lower levels of MMR.

Just curious what your saying here. Your team looks like it was trying to lower their ELO by bringing in low level plebs. It didnt work and you got wrecked. What were you expecting?
Might wanna take a better look next time LOL
Perhaps you should,. Where in his post did he specify Solo que for everyone?
His screen-shot shows specifically that his team was full solo while the enemy team had a duo queue. You are completely and utterly in the wrong here and should just stop.

As someone currently playing Bunker Chronomancer versus many other Bunker Chronomancers, I’m very happy to see that these balance changes are being taken in stride and feeling the waters rather than over-the-top knee-jerking nerfs. Thank you.

I think conquest is fine as it is, and I’m having a blast making my way through Ruby.
I am of course anticipating the next balance patch as much as everyone else, but I’m fairly certain that ArenaNet will release it when ArenaNet is ready to release it. I can only hope for the best and pray that things aren’t over-buffed or over-nerfed when it finally hits.

Darkadonis’ account name is Hugh.1893 which is also Nightmare(Dev Hugh) so he was playing with them as well. Also, what I don’t understand is how you get paired against a 5Q (3 being in Proleague) and obviously Hman isn’t the worst player, get 490 points against that AND still lose a Pip.

everyone has the right to stick to their main proffession and play what they enjoy, maybe the community are becoming the selfish ones expecting Players to reroll based on their self-entitliment, thief isnt a insta loss, i’ve won many games with one on my team.
Just because meta says in top tier SPVP it isnt viable it has 0 impact on Low – Average MMR as in those brackets u can still outplay the enemy as very rarely are Players Equally skilled in the lower MMR brackets.
I disagree. I’ve beaten every team with a Thief that I’ve come up against so far in Leagues, and twice just this past session was that Thief a professional ESL player. Meta is meta.

Sadly, this seems to have occurred from a higher value of division overcoming any difference of MMR (if applicable) thus costing you a pip despite them being pros.

I just finished playing a match where we were 4v5, and won 502-499. We were a 5 man party and one of my teammates disconnected halfway through the match. To my dismay, when the match ended I noticed I lost 2 pips despite winning the match. I feel that I shouldn’t be punished for my teammates shoddy internet. I would like to have 2 pips added back to me and my teammates accounts’ as well as another pip for the win; 3 pips in total. This system is broken and is punishing players for things they have no control over. I will provide the account names of my teammates for retribution.
Hey! I was in that match against you! My team would’ve won by 1 more tick if my teammate (the Marauder Scrapper) didn’t overextend that mid fight when you guys plus’d him and won by his death. Man, that was a really close match. Good game, Man!
Also, sorry to hear about the system screwing you guys like that. I think your Mesmer (maybe that’s you) whispered said teammate of mine and told him about it too.

You have 2 minutes to get back into the game before you get dishonor and your entire team loses instead of gaining pips regardless of which team wins and which team loses.

the comments in this section. I say GG regardless if i won, lost, facerolled, or get decimated by the enemy. Why do people have to overanalyze everything. Take the compliment and be happy.
Life is complicated because people make it complicated.
Good sportsmanship in Guild Wars 2 PvP is sadly no exception.

I disagree. While I feel sorry for non-multi-classers who only play Thief and Warrior, I’m personally having a blast as I always do in PvP aside from Stronghold. Then again, I merely adept to the meta every time it changes rather than fight against it viciously kicking and screaming. The wonderful PvP in this game is the only thing that keeps me playing beyond doing daily fractal runs as I grind towards Ad Infinitum. Thank you, ArenaNet!

If you play warrior in ranked, you are being selfish by queuing. Stop dragging down your teammates.
I’m TIRED of this attitude against warriors. We’re doing the best we can with the tools we still have. If you don’t want us on your team, then quit, because we’re NOT going away.
No you’re not doing the best you can. If you were, you would not be playing warrior and dragging down your teammates.
While you’re at it, equip a magi amulet with mace/axe since you think it is funny to grief your team.
EXCUSE me?! I play to have fun. I play to win. I don’t play to grief or give others a hard time. Stop blaming your losses on us and start blaming it on the SYSTEM. You think us warriors like this situation?!
Second, you can sit there and lecture me how to play my class, but I tell you this….I win some and I lose some. My win % is 50% and I’m now currently 7-0. And ONCE AGAIN, I say, yes I’m doing the best I can. You only get better when you challenge yourself, challenge your limits.
You play to have fun by making your team carry you. You push the work to your teammates and give them a hard time. They blame their loss right on you because you think it is funny.
Good job on tanking your mmr, by the way. That would make you feel superior.
Are you truly saying that every loss in pvp with a warrior is always his fault?
Geez you cannot let your hate for the warrior profession and other warriors go can you? It’s a shame that some people in these forums think we’re inherently selfish for playing a certain class. What’s more shameful is you and others’ assumption that we intend to sabotage other players.
If I play without amulet, rune, armor, utility, elite skills, traits and an offhand weapon in ranked on purpose, then am I griefing the team?
dude. my main class for pvp was warrior. I dropped when HoT hits. i play it a bit in unranked, & 1v1 with it all the time, but I wouldn’t take it into ranked. ranked is serious. unranked is for goofing. warrior does nothing for the team that matters & it can’t recover from damage. it has to be carried in teamfights, because he cant heal that 12k trueshot. he just can’t, so someone else has to. everything else people are playing can burst heal, often AOE burst heal. what can a warrior do that a druid can’t, or that a revenant or scrapper cant? remember warrior is trash teir so even non meta builds from actually good elites will destroy it if played at the same skill level. there is no rational reason to dedicate one of your limited 5 team slots to such a bad class.
on an unrelated note, i really miss stronghold
Listen to choo. This man used to live and breathe Warrior for years.
Even Rom dropped Warrior!
The notion that Thief and Warrior are viable in competitive play is absurd. I don’t consider myself anywhere near a professional level of competence in PvP, yet my team beat Caed’s team both times when we encountered them tonight by simply making Caed worthless to his team while we held 2 points after the initial opening split and contesting.

I read the description on a build maker site, it had the old description, now I know…
But is really ANet making a similar class Untouchable?? O_O
Seriously: 7 seconds of Invulnerability is too much! (traited)
Expecially why it also block Umblockable skills like traited marks or AoE attacks, things that have to not be blocked by a similar skill why they hit by Every direction, not only from the front.
It is seriously OP…
Dragonhunter is being pushed out of the current meta! It must be too OP to play with!

warrior has no way to regain health. I cannot come back after spikes. every other meta class can do so easily, or is a necromancer with a second health bar.
my engi and Guardian can heal their health bars multiple times, my warrior can’t even do it once.
warrior is not a viable class at all. only works vs people you eat your combo like an idiot, and honestly anyone who eats combos (especially highly telegraphed warrior combos) will be easy food.
re roll. it’s your only hope.
I done it, an I may miss warrior like hell but at least I get success.
Truer words have never been spoken.
No way to regain health yes. But survive? Better!
Berserkers stance, Endure pain and stability.
Fighting a thief/dragonhunter/mesmer? No problem
Rampage.
War is still USEFUL in pvp. It always depends on the situation and the teams. But in most cases, low and medium classes are dying faster with this build. Heavy are a bit tougher.

Funny… some condi warrior berzerker with CC can kill most meta build.
They simply need to comp with builds that are not meta (because high level players find it easier to abuse REV OPness).
A burn and CC comps with 2 berzerker can progress on the league with breeze… people don’t expect 10k burns a tick. All conditions AOE cleanses bunker are dead (except some tempest that don’t play standard with Soldier runes).
No.

Plenty of places to jump around. I like jumping on the pillars for bank and tp. Or join the stellar /map chat.
Use WvW or LA for crafting.
Btw…crafting is more about using gold.
I made over 200 gold per day for several days last month crafting and selling Mystic Forge weapons. Spirit Shards convert very nicely into gold if you know what you’re doing.
