Guild Wars 2

The longbow seemed to have blind, burning and an aoe immobilize skill which look pretty solid, Symbolic Power starts to look better now with the possible combined bleeds and low burning stacks

e: what runeset do you imagine running? balthazar? will be hard to give up on the traveler runes I was roaming with now

Yes Obtena you are in every thread saying the same thing

Don’t forget to PvP with your Ranger so you can get your ‘Champion Hunter’ title

Well at least they haven’t named Necro specialization yet, bet they will call them something like “Swordswinger”, because hey, they get a sword they can swing with

Warrior can be Pistoldude and Elementalist can be Magicalman

The class mechanic
Same as the traps we have not seen them in action yet. The F2 actually seems like the skill we’ve been asking for a long time to disengage from battles and there are people already critizing it because it will probably possibly may be easily interrupted and its not blink. Others are saying the F1 is garbage when we have yet to see how burning intensity compares to what we have now (to me constant application within an area seems better than 5 stacks for 5 seconds) . And the description of of the F3 seemed a bit ambiguous, we know it will block but we don’t know if it has a block limit if it moves with us or how big is the range.

Tell me, why are people not allowed to worry? You are ridiculing anyone expressing their concerns and thoughts, everyone should just be quiet and don’t worry at all. People have their concerns based on previous experiences in game, pointing out possible flaws is very different from saying “f1-3 will be garbage”

Remove rewards → Farmers leave to farm something else (they are crazy with this, see OS farming or any PvE event they farmed) → WvWers will slowly play eotm as it was meant to be played

Also a reason why WvW can never have too good rewards

Vizardlorde.8243:

Gee I guess leap of faith savage leap swoop and monarch’s leap must also be easily interruptible..

Yes, they are (except swoop since it brings evade), unless you are talking about PvE which I am not conserned about

Is F3 shield a rooted block or will it move with you is my concern, F1 seems dodgeable and missable and F2 is probably easily interrupted

I.. Um.. Eh… “Hunter”..? I know I wanted a longbow but.. I didn’t imagine this thing that looks like a Ranger specialization… I mean, traps? Really?

I’ll try to keep my negativity away until we actually see more, but now.. This is against everything I imagined so far maybe it will turn out to be cool when I see what the traps actually do (the gloves and longbow skins are a letdown to me tbh)

The intentions of it were pretty cool; play PvP/WvW there while waiting in queue to get in to your map, but then the playerbase turned it into the abomination it is today where people just run in big PvE karmatrains, level their low level characters and some guilds/people go there to either farm bags from these karmatrains or troll them in other ways.
Instead of WvW, it’s a place to… farm. Farm WvW ranks, farm karma, farm champbags, farm xp, farm lootbags and it is highly rewarding.

Ty Chris, my faith in GW2 moderation politics has been somewhat restored, now only if this would happen more often!

It’s unfair how they seemingly make female human and norn armours mix perfectly while even male human shoulders tend to levitate :/ I’m hoping the artwork gloves and shoulders will be new ones and they won’t glitch horribly on norn males (who am I kidding)

It will be a longbow so it’s not forcing

Stop forcing your shortbow in all threads please

Windsagio.1340:

That’s the point, it’d be interesting to make a ‘not-guardianlike’ weapon fitting for a guardian. A longbow is dull and obvious and boring.

Oh well I guess it’s a matter of taste then, imo the longbow is exciting while Warhorn, Rifle and Pistol are dull and would make me not want to play the specialization with them :P

Windsagio.1340:

Going rifle and Pistol would have been a cool playing against type that is very in sync with the GW2 world.

Longbow is layering high fantasy on top of high fantasy.

Rifle and Pistol are like the least Guardian-like weapons available :/ Maybe play Warrior instead?

Michael.8562:

@Casia, that’s an interesting point. There is the Krytan locket (Living World2:Entanglement:Concordia Incident) that supposedly shows the next heir to the Krytan throne – which is constantly being carted around by doyak to keep it secret. I wonder who’s in the picture in that locket?

I remember the personal story implying that the Order of Whispers also knows something about the heir of the throne, wonder when they’ll go back to that whole locket-story?

Might as well give this generator a try and see what you think: http://fantasynamegenerators.com/sylvari_names.php

We have supportive shouts…

Next thing is…

About the druids, their existence in the southwestern parts of Brisban Wildlands is acknowledged already within hearts and escort events

A real beauty

Engineer starts pull → make sure block/aegis ready (his pull is unblockable) and I’m not in middle of channeling a skill → make engie waste his wrench on block → ty for free gapclose → apply burst

Try reloading into a map, should go away

Worth mentioning, as a Guardian you can run full damage orientated gear and traits while only needing to pick Healing Breeze as your heal skill to support your allies with an individual heal of 6525 and landing all pulses (which is rather easy since in current instanced 5-man content you will be standing very close to each other) on four allies sums up in a total of 26100 health restored every 40th second

Stand still and your character should perform the cast normally even if they move behind you, you are probably interrupting the cast by moving the camera

About Protective Reviver… Will it still only work after reviving completely defeated allies or will it actually proc if you help someone downed up? As long as it only works on defeated people it’s pointless because you only have time to revive someone who is completely defeated after the fight is over – and what do you need those boons for then when he is already getting full health automatically?
Hope they change it to proc after you help a downed ally up instead, the bubble from Shield of absorption itself is already nice and the combo of them too working would be lovely

I am wondering and worried for both the +30% condition duration and +30% boon duration.

They made a trait that gives you +20% boon duration when wielding staff… Atm I can trait in virtues and get the +30% boon duration and use any weapon i want

Obtena.7952:

I don’t believe this will be a good thing for Guardians. That’s alot of management to maintain those burning stacks and commitment to specific skillls. It’s also going to require build up and they are still cleansed at the same rates. At least the current way, we get 1-2 BIG burning hits. With the changes, we get a pseudo-bleed. I guess we will see how that plays out.

Yeah that is exactly what I am afraid now :S

Now: apply 1 “stack” of burning → do 600+ damage/second → gets cleansed → reapply 1 “stack” for the same damage

With new system: apply 1 stack of burning → do ~100 damage/second → try to add more stacks with the tools a guardian has → idk magic happens and you maybe reach 5 stacks → now have the same efficiency as prechanges → gets cleansed → skills on cooldown → apply 1 stack of burning for ~100 damage…

Monk runes give 10%
Benevolence sigil with 25 stacks gives 12,5%
Delicious Rice ball food gives 10%

So in theory you can already run with 32,5% outgoing healing percentage so I’m guessing that trait will be changed to give either normal healing power or then toned down to give out maybe a max of 10% outgoing healing

In the current game all you need to do is keep proccing burning once with a burn build and you’ll keep ticking for 600-700+ damage each second and just reapply that when they cleanse it, but what will it look like after burning stacks in intensity? If Guard skills will apply like 1-2 stacks of burning with some low damage of 100-200/s and the poison from Doom sigils will be weak then and losing the +30% condition duration from traiting Zeal then it seems like burn builds will be useless in the future unless they give enough skills/traits to keep applying 6-7 stacks of burn on the enemy

Also keep in mind Glacial Heart needed a critical hit to trigger and even then a 50% chance to proc with a 15 second cooldown. The new slow will have a 33% chance to trigger on any hit with a 10 second cooldown, making hammer stronger for builds with low crit chance

- Burning dmg 33% increase and burn on block merged
- All meditation traits merged (any meditation build get the heal, reduced cd and fury and can pick other traits too)
- Indomitable Courage breaks stun on allies
- Superior Aria and Pure of Voice Merged
- Force of Will gives some % of healing power depending on your vitality
- Glacial Heart removed and replaced with 33% chance for Hammer to cause Slow on enemies with a 10 sec cooldown
- Someone on the stream managed to tell them the shield trait was lame and gave them an idea of shield granting aegis and they actually wrote it down
- Each time Scepter triggers virtue of justice passive effect it grants might
- Aaand all consecrations will be ground targeted so only the CD reduction trait is needed

I don’t remember more

OH also, they showed during the stream that burning and poison will stack in numbers, then quickly tried to brush it off as a “maybe”

I’m not sure if I understood correctly; will the +30% condition duration from traiting Zeal and +30% boon duration from traiting Virtues be lost after the new trait system comes?

This guy picked the wrong career…

stop trying to hype me!

Looking good, except for no access to movement speed or swiftness so the Scepter wouldn’t be a bad idea

I don’t think I’m the one who needs to mature when you are blaming a server for supporting hacking, we have our share of Drakkar speedhacking and mesmers inside of our walls you know – oh but you don’t since GH isn’t making threads about it.

Grendels Mother.5713:

Unfortunately, the actions of one player does tarnish a server’s reputation. Servers need to be accountable for their player base and servers do set the tone as to what is acceptable and what is not.

Hacking or use of exploits is not acceptable within the GH community which you try to make it sound like it would. Don’t be a sore loser. GH has recently got a huge boost in their WvW population and I can’t be sure of what sort of people have transferred though. You are also making accusations of hacking and exploiting without having even a single person from your server to actually see it happening! One thief hiding with stealth inside a tower can flip it alone.

Please make sure you have “nearest target” keybinded on your keyboard, it will help you locate any hiding mesmers, (unstealthed)thieves and also exploiters inside of walls.

Personally I hate the idea of encouraging people to not learn English and continue to only be able to communicate in their own language, it feels like you would help them keep shooting themselves in the foot.

<comment about english speaking people not caring about other cultures and languages>

I should’ve probably added that English is not my native tongue, it’s a foreign language to me and my countrymen. I still have troubles with it and my accent is horrible, but, I was born bilingual speaking both Finnish and Swedish with my family. We learn English here as kids in school and are probably affected by the fact that only cartoons get dubbed, everything else is subbed (note that I am not trying to make it sound like everyone should do it like this, or that it would be a superior way)
Learning English does in no mean affect our ability to communicate with each other in our own language. I’ve read that some people actually imagine that people who start learning English will just abandon their own language and culture, how silly is that?
It helps us to communicate with foreigners globally, since English nowadays is what everyone speaks (yes, yes, go on and bring up the amount of people who speak Chinese, that oughta show me). Sorry France, you had your days and they are over, time to realise that and move on
I am not expecting anyone to master English or pronounce anything even remotely correctly, but c’mon, fellow Europeans, it’s 2015 and we have modern Western countries where there are people under 30 that can’t even speak a word of English

Personally I hate the idea of encouraging people to not learn English and continue to only be able to communicate in their own language, it feels like you would help them keep shooting themselves in the foot.

Lmao eotm wasn’t easy enough so he had to hack and still managed to get killed. That’s some real esports there.

Was trying out a burn on block build in EB once… Met a speedhacking thief, he killed himself on the burning the blocks procced on him, was funny how terrible he was

Extreme.8350:

yea you keep doing that if i ever die to a roamer guardian you will be the first to know

What’s your actual accounts name? Based on your posting history with this one you have been playing this game for like 4 days maximum yet sound like you know something about it

VergilDeZaniah.3295:

The shady workers have been there for ages!

Really? I didn’t even know that, how long?

Eulolia.2467:

How long have these guys been around for? (see screenshot)

Probably added yesterday along with the Shady Workers in the room under the trading post

I don’t see anything wrong with it; 6% less crit chance, 19% less crit dmg and 60 less power for 2,27k health and 295 more armour compared to a full berserk exotic variation… He should be good to go to start with this (losing crits on a powermedi is always a big thing though)

Shamans, spirits, nature

While they are being painted as stubborn, stupid and alcoholic which are some negative stereotypes about Nordics but no Nordic person has been complaining about that if they would actually care

Norns are a mix of Native American and Nordic culture.

IndigoSundown.5419:

I find it ironic that some posters request more stat combos to play around with while some posters in other threads bemoan the lack of gear diversity.

It is because the former you mentioned speak about WvW and the latter about PvE

Well the writers had to kill of the pact somehow, check out this thread and the pictures the guy made explaining why it was good it died: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/lwd/Dancing-With-Dragons-Improving-Iconic-Foes/first
