Guild Wars 2

Hey guys;

Long time i made this thread! I was testing the mantra/PU condi build on some hot joins, and got ALOT of rage from ppl saying:

“PU condi mesmer f*** u”
“This build is Cancer”

And things like this…do you never get it?

is it true? what you think? Is any condi mesmer build cheessy?

Ty all!

Have u ever noticed that the skill of your pet(f2) was couting the cooldown like you or your pet was chilled, but the pet wasnt chilled?

Heres a ScreenShot fo this bug. U can notice:
-My Juvenile wolf isnt chilled
-The pet active skill(f2) recharge rate is working like the pet is chilled(showing blue numbers)
And i was counting the skill countdown, its working 66% slower!

I started notice this bug when my pet skill wasnt ready for use after i swap pets while im combat. I was using this pet:

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Juvenile_Krytan_Drakehound

Well, if the pet skill CD’s is 20 sec, and the pet swap CD is 20sec too, its impossible it not be ready after i pet swap, whem im in combat.
Of course its not an UI bug,

Eurantien.4632:

Ya this happens all the time, just a UI bug. Despite looking chilled that’s not the real CD of the skill and the F2 can often be used despite appearing on CD.

Hey!

Maybe theres a different bug then. Cuz i was watching the skill cooldown and it was 66% slower!

I started notice this bug when my pet skill wasnt ready for use after i swap pets while im combat. I was using this pet:

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Juvenile_Krytan_Drakehound

Well, if the pet skill CD’s is 20 sec, and the pet swap CD is 20sec too, its impossible it not be ready after i pet swap, whem im in combat.

Of course its not an UI bug,

Hey, thanks for moving to the bug section!

Heres a ScreenShot fo this bug. U can notice:

-My Juvenile wolf isnt chilled
-The pet active skill(f2) recharge rate is working like the pet is chilled(showing blue numbers)

And i was counting the skill countdown, its working 66% slower!

Can some1 check it pls? Have it happened with any1 else?

Hey guys;

Have u ever noticed that the skill of your pet(f2) was couting the cooldown like you or your pet was chilled, but the pet wasnt chilled?

I mean, when it happens(its VERY rare), if my pet skill has a 20sec cooldown, and i use it now, it will take like 60 seconds for it to go off cooldown.

I am almost sure thats a bug, cuz neither me or my pet are chilled when it happens. It displays the blue numbers on pet skill(like when you get chilled, your skills cooldowns are shown with blue numbers) but it happens sometimes even when i am not in combat lol

did it happen with you at least once?

Its looks like a nerf to thief, since the engineers can normal stack stealth with the smoke bomb.

Well, i think thats a big mistake if they did it and didnt put on patch notes. But, tbh, i prefer they keep the revealed thing like this.

What you want? big damage, best mobility and desingage on game, and perma stealth? it was rlly unballanced before this patch.

PS: Before you rage talk to me and say things like “stop QQing, you must hate thief!” look at the screenshot below. 2300+ PVP Matchs as thief, my favorite profession.

Just another doubt about this skill… does ur pet must be in range with you? I use this skill alot of time and dont get the invu, and my pet IS alive!

Hey guys;

I have 158% magic find now, and i am thinking about invest some gold to get it to at least 250%. What you guys think?

Since i do12-15 dungeons paths/day, do you think i will get my gold back?
How about the cost, how much gold will i spent to increases ~100% MF? whats the best method? the Ectoplasm Globs?

I want opinions from players that have 250%+ MF, about the rare loots they are getting. Is it worth it?

Thx

Hey guys, thanks all for answers!

My point is: Since we can get “free’s” precursor (with collections) on HOT, maybe ANET will “balance” the market, making T6 mats mare harder to get, to keep legendarys rarity and dificcult to get.

Im affraid they will remove Heavy Crafting Bag VI from laurel marchantes. Of course, its just speculation, i have no idea/informations about it.

Hey guys;

With the new Expansion coming, do you think T6 mats will go higher? So should i spent my 300+ Laurels now on T6 mats, before the expansion come out?

Hey man. Do you think is it worth for me to craft Mawdrey?

Is it worth for me to craft it(spend about 100g)? Will i get my gold back?

And to get Star of Gratitude, do i need to wait for Wintersday events?

Thx!

Hey guys;

I have like 5000+ Piles of Bloodstone Dust, 6000+ Empyreal Fragments and like 300+ Dragonite Ores. I will never craft ascendent gear(since im happy with exotic and i prefer to save my gold for elegendary weapons skins).

So, is there ANY way to get any gold(even few gold) with those things? Its killing my invetory spaces!

Or can i just throw it away?

Sry again guys, im talking about normal 1v1(in WvW or any hot join server), not 1v1 on a competitive conquest match.

Alexander.9810:

Well if you’re defending the point from his backcap then 1v1ing him is important. If you’re 1v1ing him because you want to and aren’t paying attention to capture points, chances are you’re wasting your time.

Yeah Thieves are annoying for a lot of reasons. They have no ability cooldowns, they teleport, stealth, and hit really hard. The dodge spamming ones are also really annoying. They also seem to be the apex predator of the Berserker amulet, killing any other class trying to use it easily except for Meditation Guardian.

That said, just make sure your nodes are under control and if he tries to 1v1 you with a build he can’t kill in seconds then he’s not being useful and you are.

Oh, just realize that maybe i posted this in the wrong section.. i mean 1v1 a thief for simple 1v1…not in a pvp match… just 1v1 a friend or something..

xDudisx.5914:

This build works in wvw because it consists in run away with GS when you see that you are losing. In spvp if you do that you lose the point. In wvw it is ok.

Axe+sh/gs can be very good against people not running 1v1 builds or against bad players. If you happen to find something like a d/d ele, a sw/dg thief, a perplexity engi your only option is to run away. The good thing is that most builds that almost no one can chase a warrior running away with GS.

Hey!

But i tested it in SPVP, i was playing Hot Joins, so i was looking for fights, even out point. I just look for any 1v1. and i noticed its just too weak thats why i think theres should be a nerf in SPVP

darkaheart.4265:

When Warrior comes to pvp, it sucks. for whatever reason maybe anet nerfs warriors in pvp but shoutbow is a build that can somewhat stand a chance.

Thats exactly what i tought! Theres should be a nerf in stats when warrior comes to pvp! cuz i see alot of WvW videos, and players looks to have alot of damage and resistance, but in PVP i just fell squishy and low damage!

Ill give a try on it then! I just wanted to check it in SPVP before waste gold on gears! thx all for answers

Hey guys;

I was looking for a good mobility/damage build for WvW roaming, and i found this one:

http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Warrior_-_GS_Axe/Shield_Roamer

Of course i wont waste lots of gold in a build for WvW before testing it in Hot Joins SPVP, and i just noticed this build is rlly weak Oo seriously…

Ive played zerk guardian, zerk ranger, and zerk thief. Those builds are OK. but this warrior build… it sucks! at least in SPVP, i cant defeat any1 lol

Why its on meta builds? can any warrior with this build pls 1v1 me, so i can see a skilled player playing it?
(OFC i know WvW is kinda diferent than SPVP, but anyways, its rlly weak oO)

hmm fine, got it.

Well, does some1 knows a good heavy set that is shiny enough to make my dye worth its price?

Guardian of Angels.9867:

I’m unsure, but could your game quality has anything to do with it?

Higher character models might increase the shadow / quality of characters making the dye more bright?

Hey, dont think so, since i look some ingames characters that are very shiny xD

Hey guys;

I just bought the celestial dye(about 80g) and its looks like…a normal gray or white…

Ive seen alot of characters in-game and in pictures on google, the celestial dye looks to have a shine, its so much more brilhant than mine. What should i do to make my character skin have that shine?

Or was i just stupid to pay 80g in a normal dye?
Here a screenshot of my guardian.

Hey guy;

Ive playing more pvp after this patch, and thats just crazy how many engineers are on all the ranked comps… seems like every team has one. Sometimes when i fight one in a point, its just… impossible!

Im not saying its OP(i know many ppls QQ saying it is), im just asking what im not doing that i should. I mean, i play power ranger(ik its crappy), condi ranger, dps guardian, dps thief, and thats the only profession I CANT defeat in 1v1, by anyway. Its just crazy the amount of CC’s, condi from nades, and power damage from rifle. Is engi really OP as ppl say or im i a noob? hahaha thats the build that 90% of them use:

http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Engineer_-_Celestial_Rifle

Any tips?

Guys,

i was asking about WvW roaming, and i ussualy go alone. So i dont care about team help/pressure xD

Thats my doubt… for WvW roaming, whats better? Dire/Raib/Apo and the shoutheal or soft trait xD

Shanks.2907:

The only real reason I go for rabid amulet is for the torment sigil procs, which are great for a perma-cover condition and ~100 damage a tick. Though, I do prefer the toughness over vitality from carrion amulet. You can see how I piece together my variation of the condi survival in my signature.

So the big question is figthing condi-based players?

Cuz the stats Toughness+Healing power+Condition damage sounds better to me to condi ranger than Toughess+Precision+Condi damage, since the only benefict i see from Precision is to proc your torment sigil, right? Is it viable to combo ur torment sigil with earth sigil? Since both ull get benefecit from the precision u have.

How about fights against a power burst thief/mesmer/ranger/warrior/guardian? I dont see the rabid soft build stronger than the regen 1 against those builds.

How many cele’s ele/enginners, shoutbow warriors, S/D D/P thiefs have you guys seen on the Boston Tournament SPVP? And how many power rangers?

If its OP, why there isnt at least 1 power ranger on every team, like D/D celestial eles?

Guys, i have a question(maybe its stupid, but lets go…)

Why is the Survival Fittest Condi Rabid build ‘superior’ as the Settler/Apotecary regen build? (Both builds with S/T A/D). Ive playing both builds in SPVP Hot Joins, and IMO, the regen is so much stronger then the survival fittest.

I will explain: Both builds have almost the same skills and condi aplicattion, but the regen one allows you to kitte ppl in 1v2 while ur condis kill them and your HP is regenering. The survival fittest build doesnt have this power, it only give u some more bleeds and condi removal, as well fury.

But honestly, i dont see how ppl say survival fittest is stronger. Ive only played SPVP, maybe in WvW its superior? Any tips?

Guys, talking about stats for WvW roaming again, im not sure about what use :/ i could test all stats(carrion, rabid, dire, settler) but the problem is i only have laurels to buy 1 kind of ascendent amulets, so i need to choise it right.

Im playing SPVP as test, but it doesnt have the Dire amulet, so i cant test it. The settler build should only be used if im running the shout heal build right?

Thats the build im using in PVP:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fNAQRAnY8fjEq0yaHLGsQ1aABhaVA0uGS2Wwd+eDfdJrIK-TJRHgADHEAhzAAwDAIc/BA

I didnt put an amulet, cuz thats my doubt. Whats the advantages and disadvantages of all those stats? As an offensive option, Carrion is better imo, since i dont get an benefict of the extra crit chance from rabid, right?

Hey guys;

Since ive started to play S/T + A/D Ranger im getting trouble to inflict poison on enemys.

Since Dagger #4(Stalker Strike) and Sword #3 are good defensive skills, its very hard to me to hit the enemys with it, since the enemy must be stationary to get hit from those skill, cuz they are very telegraphed and easy to avoid. I was used to run S/T + SB, and SB #2 is a so much better posion source them those skills.

Any tips? thx!

Hey guys, i have another doubt

Is shortbow a viable condi weapon, in any build? Or the best setup for condi ranger is axe/dagger and sword/torch?

Hey guys, i am playing some SPVP matchs and im enjoying the condi ranger. I just have a doubt about WvW roamming.

Whats the better stats to use? Dire, Rabid or Settler? (In Overall condi builds)

Jurica.1742:

Honestly necro is friggin OP as hell. It’s really hard to play well (even harder than mesmer) and not too good until you reach that level, then it instantly becomes the biggest asset to your team ever. But aside from the skill (alike mesmer) you need support/babying from your team, even more so than the mesmer..

Yeah, condi necros are freaking OP and tanky as hell. But i dont like it due the lack of mobility and resets(stealth away and regain life, for example). Is because of it u say necro need more support from your team?

Hey guys;

I was used to play a berserker warrior build in SPVP a long time ago. It was fun/strong. But after all those paths, how are Warriors right now in SPVP? When i fight warrior in SPVP with my ranger they look like the weakest profession overall(i play berserker LB/GS).

Is that my impression or warriors are weak now? I would like to play with them again.

Ty all

Ty for replys guys!
I have a doubt… why most of the condi builds (scepter/torch + staff) on the guides ive seen, have rabid stats(condi, precision, toughness) and not dire(condi, toughness, vitality)?

Since most of damage will come from conditions(and not from power damage and illusions), i dont think we need that precision stats rights?

Hey guys. thanks for answers.

Yeah, im looking for a small group roamer build, not zerker
Do you guys have a good build i could test it?

ty!

Hey guys;

I would like to get some new dyes, the only i have os those you start with. Whats the best/cheapest way to get it?

Become a chef and craft it? buy it on TP? How about that pack you buy with 200 gems, is it worth to buy it?

How about skins, you have any tips to get new cool skins?

Thx all

JustTrogdor.7892:

You will only lose the items that are are on or in the inventory of the characters you delete. Everything in your bank, wardrobe and account wallet will transfer with you.

Ok, tyvm!

Hey guys;

I want to change my home world(to join a more organized WvW one, my actual server sucks ;p). I dont wanna pay those 1200 gems, but i heard that if i delete ALL my characters i can free transfer. I dont really care about deleting my lvl 80 characters, im worried about my itens.

My question is, what will i lose? just the itens that are on the characters body/inventory, right?

Everything that is on my bank will be there on the new world? How about my dyes, my skins and my gold, karma, laurels, dungeon tokens, transmutation charges and acchievments?

Thx all for answers!!

FrownyClown.8402:

Hey man. I sucked the first 6 months playing it. The biggest difference between a good ele and a great ele is knowing how to counterplay. Study classes you have a hard time against, duel people and learn.

Thx for the answer!
And how are you know? Did you become a good Ele after those 6 mounths?

Hey guys;

Ive been playing Ele this days in some SPVP’S match, and its being very hard to me to be usefull at all to my team. Sometimes i just get mad and pick my Berserker Ranger after a not-succefull match. Im having some hard times in 1v1’s and i know that SHOULDNT be a problem to a decent D/D.

I know D/D Eles are very hard to learn and master how to play, but had you guys any hard time learning about the profession, before u became good/decent?

I like the Ele gamestyle at all, the Attunements, the skills,etc… I would like to be a good player with it. How many time u guys think a player need to learn how to play efficiently the profession? Any advices/tips?

OBS:
I know the D/D is in a good spot atm in META, im not saying it sucks or it needs a buff. Actually, im saying i suck ;p

Jurica.1742:

My weapon ideas:
Flute/Harp – Play melodies that would buff alies/debuff enemy players, could be a good lockdown weapon (awful melodies that make the enemies ears hurt making then stop all actions for a few seconds, you could also load it with confusion so we could have a lockfusion support build
Deck of Cards-Could have AOE damage (throw cards in the air and they fly around making some sort of storm or whatever)

Man, your ideas are just…AMAZING
seriously…
Ive been thinking this days about the game having some magic cards on Necro,Ele,Mesmer to make AOE damage. The flute/Harp idea looks very nice too.

Hey guys;

Im trying a condi mesmer this days, but im getting some hard time against some professions. Im not taking me as parameter cuz im newbie at this build, but what you guys think? Should i learn how to master it? is it competitive for Groups SPVP?

Or if i wanna play condi should i play necro,ranger or engineer? What you guys think are the strong and the weaknesses of a good condi mesmer?

Thx all!

Hey guys;

Do you know any famous Skyhamer troll? (Engi, Thief or Mesmer) that pull/push ppl of the map. I mean, ppl there just play for it. Do you guys know any famous troll?

Im just wondering, cuz i know some.

Thanks all.

oRx.9584:

You are right, Engineer takes a bit more skill than most other classes, unless going for a turret engi. Anyhow, the classes you can benefit from the most with condition specs are: Necromancer, Ranger, Mesmer, Warrior. Ofcourse other classes can also bring in some condi, but it’s not that big of a deal if you ask me, or there are too many better options to go with.

For more information on any just ask, and you can also add me in-game for any help needed.

Regards, oRx

Hey man, thanks for anwer! I think i should give mesmer a try Im looking for some builds on forums, wich 1 u recomend for a newbie?

thx

Hey guys;

Im kinda a new GW2 SPvP player. Im looking for an easy conditoon build to play. IDC about profession. Ive played an engineer a few, but it looks like its very dificult to be a good engineer. Am i right?

if the build have some team support, it would be nice too

Any sugestions?

Thx

Hey guys;

Thanks all for answers.

Its true its very hard to be competitive with full zerk LB. Anyways, i wanna try another SPVP Ranger build. I would like condition and/or trap. Do you have any strong build to recomend?

Thx all!

Hey guys;

I would like to play a ranged thief build in SPVP/WvW. I think i would like to use p/p+ p/d(p/d provides shadowstep away and stealth). Is there any viable build for those weapons?

I like playing rangeds DPS’s in MMO. My Main is a power Ranger, but i would like to try another professions. p/p + SB build wouldnt be bad too. If u guys have some strong ranged build for thief or any tips pls feel free to say^^

thx

Hey guys;

What you guys think are the power rangers(LB + GS or Sword/Focus) atm? I mean, after the buff to our LB, do u guys think its viable for SPVP? What are the harder profissions/builds for you guys to kill as a power ranger?

Im play a LB/GS Ranger 6/6/2/0/0 all berserker. Im enjoying it and it fees we have a good damage now. What you guys think?

Thx
