Guild Wars 2

Should rampage be able to stomp!? Hell no. Rampage is a single “I win” button. People were complaining that Lich was a single “I win” button and Anet nerfed it. You can now manage any lich with enough cc, blinds, or reflect. No ones elite should be so strong that you can’t do anything but run away or dodge spam. That’s not how it should work. Especially when a engineer can has a chance to get rampage at a 60/66 second cd. There needs to be a bigger weakness. Remove the ability to stomp and either give it a 20-25% incoming damage debuff or remove it’s increased HP.

Agreed. CC is now ridiculous. Who in their right mind would heal for an 10% incoming damage?! CC makes 100% more sense as a spectral skill than corruption. Gg anet. At least make other heals worth a kitten . For instance change SoV from heal from being hit to hitting or rework the active…

Anet is terrible at balancing pvp/wvw. Wars have zero weakness and don’t have to sacrifice anything to do damage. If you’re facing 4/5 hambow or s/s&lb wars in solo queue. Don’t even bother going for mid-node. Just afk.

If they don’t get this under control. It’s going to be the downfall of the game. (Well and living stories constantly having scarlet in them. Which, the community has already stated enough is enough.)

Sad.

4 second defiant stance. 5 second endure pain. 10 second berserk stance. Equals 19 seconds of invulnerability to something. You’re telling me of the 30 seconds you’re talking about; 19 of those seconds you’re sol is no big deal/nothing to see here?! At least with stability it can be removed. Invulnerability… you can not. So Yes, I’m telling you that you can’t burst a warrior down in 30 seconds. It’s a rinse/repeat cycle of invulnerability. All a warrior has to do is know the burst skills of his opponent and use them at that time. Any other profession can’t do that.

You can pat yourselves on the back, knowing you’ve nerfed wars. Truly, the nerf did nothing more than push the rest of wars in pvp to the alternate war meta.
With the new heal it’s gg for spvp. Stance wars with longbow/ sword+sword or sword+shield wars are the top now.

Wars overall are the specialist of everything.
Stability? Check.
Invulnerability (evade)? Check.
Top Health Pool? Check.
Top Condi Cleanse? Check.
Best Heal Abilities? Check.
Top Stun Breakers? Check.
Condi damage output? Check.
Most Mobility? Check.
Shortest Weapon Swap? CHECK.

I don’t need to list every ability because most of us know that these statements are true. Adding Defiant Stance was the tipping point for me in spvp. There’s zero weaknesses. You can’t face tank, can’t cc, and you can’t range a warrior. Bursting is impossible.

Every profession has a visable weakness.

Necro- Horrid mobility. Their damage can be kited.
Guardian- Low health pool for being a heavy. Starve them of boons and it’s gg.
Mesmer- Damage relies mostly on phantasms. Burst aoe them (like lets say a war has) and it’s gg. Also, auto attacks are the poorest in game.
Ranger- Well it’s Ranger. Hotmess.
Thief- Everyone wants to make them a less stealth and more fight profession, but truly lack the ability to do so. They’re the easiest profession to burst.
Engineer- Engi is at a good spot. The only possible area I see is they need more options for melee fighting. Bomb kit and grenades are the closest thing to it.
Elementalist- They need more variety. Dagger/dagger is pretty much the best and only choice. Staff is shotty (only good for massive node fights) and scepters lacks the damage output.

Moral of the story. Even though you did minimal nerfs; you’ve given them love back this patch with Defiant Stance. Also, if someone is invulnerable they need to sacrifice something in return. You shouldn’t be able to put out damage. The whole to point of invulnerability is to negate an opponents attacks. Example; Renewed Focus (Guardian), Mist Form (Elementalist), Protect Me! (Ranger), Elixir S (Engineer).

No going disrespect RQ, but Novus; what you pulled on JQ comms tonight was trash. You don’t throw tantrums and yell at your mates like you did tonight. Especially people from other guilds in the borderlands trying to help you.

Good luck RQ with whatever server you go to (especially you, Johhny, and your pure awesomeness accent). Will miss (most of) you guys.

soooo Magikarp decided to come to JQ LA to gloat…
and promptly got destroyed in map chat. how embarrassing! he’s still there I think if you want to grab some popcorn, it’s pretty funny

The Golden Dolyak does not need gloat, merely trying to convert the unbelievers.

Keith the Golden Dolyak invites all JQQers to join League Winners [BG] in the glorious quest to make WvW sparkle.

PM your local League Winner [BG] representative to gain access to Keith’s Warchest.

Believe in Believegate.

That’s trashy. Not gaining any respect from any server that way.

Just want to say congrats to TC for getting third. You guys deserve it. You’ve fought hard throughout the weeks (even against us, JQ). So big props to you and getting your bronze dolyak. I better see some dolyak parades coming.

Agg and SoS do not care about ppt. They haven’t this whole time during league. They’ve known that they’re not going to place, so they’d rather have good fights where they can find them.

TC and SoS has always put good fights on the table whatever tier they’ve been in. However, SoS just couldn’t keep the coverage during their variable rise and fall to T1.

Mag, kitten on them. They’re the biggest trash talkers and can’t back it up.

As for BG… Every server knows that they bought the guild (ZD) to be on and to be the strongest server during every NA servers (especially SoR and JQ) weakest timezone to sway league their way. Hence, they knew they needed to go shopping for guilds because JQ and SoR beat them week 40 and JQ beat them horribly week 41 leading up to league.

Everyone knows they organized the 2v1 on JQ. SoR played the hand they were dealt because they knew to get second they had to put JQ in 3rd in the first weed and do it again on the last week of league.

As for JQ, you’re the true winners. JQ, since the beginning of GW2, has been T1. That’s the ultimate compliment, because with guild shifts as frequent for a server the fall can too. SBI, SoS, and many others that have been to T1 can preach to that. JQ has won the most times out of any server. (19-1st, 17-2nd, and 19-3rd=55) The closest one to them is BG (14-11-14=39).

So no matter what JQ, you’re still the true, clear winners even if you don’t get 1st or 2nd over this politically manipulative league season. BG can have that win.

If you want to go the “minions need constant mind control”. You can’t talk to your pet while a MOA… You can’t push buttons on your turrets. Then all those things should become passive. But they don’t. Besides what your stating is a lame justification. If I, the necromancer, are bonded to my pets then they should do my bidding no matter what form I am (DS, plague, Lich). So right their your theory is flawed.

It’s been a whole freaking year for this problem to be solved. (Mesmer poly-morph causes all Minions to go on full cooldown) If this isn’t a bug, then that’s a horrible punishment to one meta. No wonder players hardly touch pure MM as to the condi metas. As for what the moderators (Josh Davis) has said…

This is it. Nice follow up anet.

Great fights tonight on TCBL… PINK and CERN groups were great (as usuals). Sorry to the AGG commander that was toting around pugs that got blind sided and then annihilated. Keep the fun week rolling during NA prime.

Have a great week everyone! Looking forward to some great fights during prime time…

Sorry to change topics, but when is the Mesmer Moa going to stop killing all my dang minions (putting them on full CD)? More and more mesmers are figuring this out and I’m getting Moa’d every time I get minions back up. Mesmers know it’s OP and leaves MM necros defenseless. So fix this already! You’ve known about this for a year.

What other skills go on full CD when interrupted?

Warrior bust skills

You better be the worst troll or the biggest liar.

So Josh… Why hasn’t this been addressed yet?

It really is sad. MM is such a fun build. It’s just frustrating with all the glitches in using it. Uneven terrain?… good luck with that fight. Your flesh golem will eat the side of the hill. Also, the flesh wurm doesn’t teleport correctly. If there’s a walk path to the wurm, you should be able to port to it. The one thing though that bugs me the most is the Moa. It’s one thing to get Moa’d out of plague or DS. That’s only one CD. It’s a fair exchange… a cd for a cd. But for MM to have all the utilities to go CD that’s 1 cd for 5 cds. It’s unfair.

When Moa’d or Tuna’d, all minions die and go onto full CD. Not only are you a free target for the length of polymorph (10 sec), but if you’re also MM it’s another 16, 24, 32, and 48s (depends on the minion and you’re traits for lower CD). This has been an issue since launch, and it hasn’t yet been addressed. I think it’s foolish and a harsh penalty.

This better be a bug, and a bug that has been going on far too long. It puts a MM (minion master) necromancer to 100% disadvantage for the length of Moa (10 sec) PLUS the length of total cd for minions with are 16, 24,32, and 48s (if you’re spec’d into decreased minion cd). This either needs to be fixed or decrease minion’s total cd. Either way something needs to be done.

For the love of Jedsus… A warrior that uses hammer and sw/shield has 6 stuns with zero diminishing returns.

Hammer + Sword/Shield has 6 stuns? Funny, because I count 2. Unless by sw you mean “Swace” as a corruption of “mace” in which case I count 3.

Windler.4815:

I don’t understand the constant love that warriors are getting. At least with other professions their variation in builds. With warriors, almost all have hammers and either sw/shield or longbow.

Warriors have some of the most build diversity of any profession.

I’m meaning that they can have up to 6 with utiiltes. Hammer has three. Staggering Blow, Backbreaker, and earthshacker. Sword/shield has 1 which is shield bash. Plus stomp and bull’s charge.

This is what I’m finding to be the most common build (along with hammer/longbow) in PvP right now since after this patch.

Every profession has stun breakers for each build. However, not every profession has a wide variety of stability. Warriors have the most options for stability. That doesn’t make any sense. Most CCs+Most stability+Best healing+2nd Best cleasning+most mobile= Everything is right in the world; nothing to see here? At lease other classes have weaknesses. From what I’m seeing, the wars have nothing.

For the love of Jedsus… A warrior that uses hammer and sw/shield has 6 stuns with zero diminishing returns. More than anyone in game. They can out heal anyone. They have the most hp and toughness. They’re second best a condition cleansing. I don’t understand the constant love that warriors are getting. At least with other professions their variation in builds. With warriors, almost all have hammers and either sw/shield or longbow.

When a necromancer is Moa’d by a mesmer, all minions immendiatly die and go to cool down. That’s harsh if you’re a MM (minion mastery). Not only are you a sitting duck during Moa but you’re a sitting duck afterwards while you have to wait for you minion CDs.

I’ve been having the same issue. It says something about can’t access log-in server at this time, and goes on to say stuff about firewall, router, and campus connection. This is the first time I’ve ever had a error like this in the year I’ve been playing.
