Guild Wars 2

You can also use a warrior or a thief.

I would be fine with all that if warriors rush had its cooldown increased to 40sec if you fail to hit anything,oh and make distortion and endure pain disable all of your skills and give every class 10k base hp and increase their 4 and 5 skills cd by double what it is now.

Good news is my warrior is lvl 39 already!

Bug fixes are not nerfs.

I heard rush now has a 40 sec cooldown if you dont hit anything……..oh,right.

I think the warrior needs a dps buff in PvE.
What i just wrote made as much sense as the op’s post

I think the transfer rate is fine as it is.

As more players want new things available in the Gem Store, they convert their in-game gold to Gems and the price goes up. The reason they do this is because they’d rather part with their in-game money than their real money. The value of the items in the Gem Store doesn’t change unless they go on sale. When things go on sale, the conversion increases yet again…and more complaints arise.

What players don’t realize is that the conversion of gold to Gems is a convenience that ArenaNet added into GW2 so that you didn’t HAVE to buy things from the Gem Store with real money. As the conversion rate gets “worse and worse”, more players will turn to using real money to buy Gems instead of converting their gold to do so. That’s what ArenaNet wants anyway. They don’t care about your gold, they care about your money.

Btw….those sales….they are really only meant for the players that use real money to buy Gems….not the ones that convert gold to Gems.

Only problem is that some of the things in the gem store are needed for normal gameplay (if anyone can play with the basic 30 slot bank i take my hat off to them)

Question: If you have a single key for dodging, how do you pick which way you’re going to dodge? I like being able to quickly go left, right, or back as I choose with a quick doubletap of my thumb (I seldom dodge forward unless I’m running through aggro with the intent of escaping). Given that I move with my mouse and have my left, right, and back movement handy to my thumb on my HEX, wouldn’t it be -more- work and slower to have to hold down the button with my right hand and tap a keyboard key with my left?

Press V+one of WASD and you dodge in the direction you pressed.
I only dodge that way,turned off double tap since it can easily get you killed in jumping puzzzles

It would mean you have a free bank anywhere you go-just send the item to yourself and pick it back up whenever you need it again

Makes me wish there was a way to get max gear without waiting for weeks and weeks for the raid to res……i mean for the laurels and commendations.

A lvl 20 can never beat a lvl 80 in whatever game you are playing thats just ridiculous.
Now if both teams where lvl 20 it would be a close match with gw2 having the advantage cause of the higher hp at lvl 20 and things like bleed stacking

Yes its called a speed run cause it is slower than an ordinary run,righhht.
A bad group will take ages to do any kind of run

Well, then, in my opinion, it’s pretty stupid to give for example the Warrior the best armor, better skills than others and more damage…or make Guardians so over the top useful. But well, nothing you can do about that.

The game is balanced for sPvP leaving PvE an unbalanced mess-the warrior is quite easy to deal with in pvp,so he needs the extra damage to compensate (the health is another issue and has been poorly balanced since the beta,even after they changed it-warrs and necros used to have ~25k HP,which anet realized was just bonkers and they lowered it to what it is now).
The side effect of giving them the extra damage,along with the highest base health in the game is that they are gods in PvE.
Also in the sake of making most classes viable in most situations the warr has all the tools that almost all the other classes have that are super useful in dungeons-area might and fury,a large amount of buffs with banners,area cond removal even area heals with healing shouts-and bringing a mes and guard(in a supporting/dps role) in a group makes you capable of steamrolling trough any dungeon way faster than any other team comp can do-and as anyone who has ever played any mmo before should know DPS is king and the king of DPS is the warrior.
ALL HAIL THE KING

Im going to go into pvp or wvw and troll people by applying a large amounts of boons on them all the while standing far behind them and watching them get destroyed by whatever class gets this ridiculous mechanic,and ill do that until we get some actual class balance.

And if you,say wanted to do something silly like change your build you would need another 3 months of everyday dailies just to get the gear for it-yay for build experimentation and variety!!!

Must be a stealth ecto nerf xDDD

So that’s where Tequatl went!

vespers.1759:

why is nobody saying mesmer? they’re miles above ranger.

This x9001 best ranged burst of all the classes+insane survivability=gods of pvp

I humbly request that this topic name be changed to: OMG Mount confirmation!!!!!!111

They have evolved into moa’s!!!!

There are 2 devs working on class balance atm.
And they both play warriors

It took them years to figure out that same skill for pvp and pve dont work in GW1,
seems like they will take years again to learn what they already know.

Really no reason to play anything except a war/mes/guard in a dungeon,and i die a little inside when i get a full group of necro/rangers/engis because i know that the run will be far from optimal and will take ages.DPS is god in any instanced party content in any mmo-you dont want a frost mage in your raid.
Yay for class balance!

Lavadiel.6231:

there is simple rure in this game:
1v1:
tank cant kill tank – endless battle
gc cant kill tank, tank wins
gc vs gc – messmer wins

2v2 and 3v3. ..4v4…5v5
2/3/4/5 gc wins vs 2/3/4/5 tanks

that is because in this game GC complement each other while tanks and especially condi builds does not combine so well… and that is why chiftain ninjas (DPS oriented PT build) owns so hard any tank PT in pvp.

Very true. And gc d/d ele pretty much never wins unless against gc war.
Bunker d/d either wins or runs.
have yet to see any effective staff eles in spvp..

gc d/d eles are freaking destructive when they travel in packs xD one of my friends “new meta” builds (thats what he calls everything we run xD) was 5 eles, 4 d/d gc and a staff ele, the 4 d/d gc traveled in groups of 2 -most- of the time, because they are like freaking Slivers from Magic the Gathering…

Ever seen a pack of gc mezzmers?

Im going for a full celestial set,since ele’s use every stat on it on all weapon sets.
Cant wait till they introduce armor and weapons so i can pop some divinity runes on them.
Jack of all trades ftw!

Crafting.
15count

+to all stats is the most useful since as an ele you use well,all the stats

I find it hilarious

mjharrison.3209:

I can’t bear playing Ele without 20+ in arcane just for the attunement CD reduction.

This-30 is kind of an overkill imo,but i never,ever have a build without at least 20

Arcane skills were viable in the first and second beta weekend,since then they have been nerfed to the ground (and i mean deep down to the9th circle of hell-cooldown increase by 50% and dmg reduced by roughly the same)now they are just bad,bad utillities.
The only one use is arcane shield since its the only true dmg negation uty besides mist form and can be used while chaneling without interrupting it.

What kind of gear do you want?Check the dungeon vendors to see what stat combo suits you then run that dungeon,or check the temple karma vendors for the gear you want.Or you can just buy it off the trading post or craft it yourself (prices are about the same for both)

Too much free time is too much free time…..
As for the question zerkers all the way,precision is worthless without crit dmg and conditions are just an afterthought on the ele not our primary dmg source.

The new pre-searing

It was officially stated that no it does not affect chests,however that chest have a better chance for good loot than mobs

Zerkers or the balanced ones (+to all stats) and grab a utility slot for the +20 gold or mf
Also change all those soldiers trinkets for zerkers-a bit of p/v/t is nice but too much is too much

As someone who has mostly gc chars i wholeheartedly support the argument that
more dmg=better (in dungeons you just need 1 heavy built for tankyness and everyone else should just go pure dps-like a usual mmo group minus the healer)
One thing you are wrong about tho-toughness is much better on classes with more base hp since it provides much more ehp (effective hit points) since it is a percentage increase.Lets say that a ele and a necro get extra toughness to give them a 10% dmg taken decrease-the ele would only get an extra 1k ehp while the necro would get 1,8k
(a whooping 80% more)

Put the following in the mystic forge:
1 Shrunken head of an Asura
10 Raspberry pies
10 Bottles of elonian wine
250 Charged lodestones
Then take your clothes of and dance in the moonlight on the first equinox of the year

Did have a hard time choosing my starting character and what job he was. Son settle on that. I just feel to really experience the whole game you have to play the TP as well. I am keeping an eye on what materials are selling well. May spend a few hours collecting. Just any advice is welcome.

Tip:dont craft anything.Crafting is massive gold sink-you can make much more money by selling all the mats you find (also you cant really make any money with crafting at max lvl anyway)

why on earth would you do such a thing when we have no idea what exactly the patch will nerf?

Pretty sure that footprints are for main-hand weapons only.

Ian Kennedy.4563:

No, more defense, our DPS is some of the best in my opinion, we need more defense if anything, but that might unbalance the classes.

You need to play a mes or a war

I’m Designer Hrouda, and this is my favorite thread on the forum.

That being said, we are always looking at our reward tables. I agree with you that a blue is very unsatisfying of a reward for GL and other instances. Part of our Dungeon work coming down the line is going to involve changing reward tables and whatnot, so please be patient as we work through things as fast as we can.

Price went up because of the promotions and then went back down when everyone brought all they wanted.
Still too expensive tho

Its account-bound so yes,either merch it or save it so it takes a space in your bank.
You have no one to blame for your good luck with drops :P

ThiBash.5634:

There are also duration increasing runes, aura boons builds, combos…seriously, the last thing you need to worry about is perma swiftness. There’s hardly any build that can’t get it.

Which is why traits like windbourne dagger and such are 100% useless and should be changed,which is the point the op was trying to make.

AHAHAAHAHAAHAHA
I read it up to this part
“Except that Warrior’s damage is comparable to other classes normally (actually less than thief or ele).”
You have obviously never played any other class and you suck suck with the one that you did (the warr)

Negrul.5423:

Nanfoodle.2439:

Need to kick this old school. Trash mobs need to not respawn and also mobs need to not drop aggro when you run away. Make people play the game and cut paths to the boss. This gets people working together and learn what the teams play style is before you are chucked in the deep end with a boss fight. Running back after your dead should be that simple, your team and killed the mobs so you can run there safely!!!!

As for not being able to WP when you die, I think it should stay. Make people look at what team mates are doing and help them. Everyone needs to help res and watch whats going on. There maybe no set healers in this game but it always seems its just 1 or 2 players that are trying to res, most times just 1.

I also think that WP-rezzing should stay only if the enemies stop dropping aggro in a dungeon.
Losing aggro in a dungeon should only work when using specific skills like stealth, not by running for 50 yards away from an enemy.

LF1M thief only?

Rolyate.6753:

Easily the strongest class at this point in time. Don’t expect to win every fight.

HAH what you mean that one viable build we have?
Yeah sure that sounds op as all kitten

Windwalker.2047:

3 warrs 1 guard 1 mesmer fun times all around
DPS (which is one of the most,if not the most important aspects of any mmo’s instanced group content) is totally out of whack between the profs that bringing anything else but the highest dps class is silly and serves no purpose. The reason for this is that PvE is currently balanced around PvP (warrs are easy to handle in PvP,thus need the extra damage to compensate).
For instance in another mmo,the devs would check the dps meter of every class with its dps spec and buff the underperfoming ones and nerf the op ones,bringing them to
a sort of equilibrium and avoiding situations like ‘LFM fury warrs only!’,sure it doesnt work all the time,but they at least try to bring some semblance of class balance in PvE.

That is something I really hope they address in ‘Phase 2’ of the dungeon changes. Melee DPS should be higher, because it has to balance out the lack of range and the time to reach the target (or cooldown of gap closers etc), but in PvE the fights are longer, so the only mitigating factor is usually a boss ability that forces melee to move or run out every 10-30 seconds.

I haven’t taken a hard look at every boss fight, but it seems to me that ranged dps has to do more movement than the melee dps in most fights. This seems out of balance, since essentially Melee dps should always run the risk of pulling boss aggro and having to move out periodically (switching aggro back to a more tanky controller character or allowing chill/slow based controllers to help the person kite). Instead most bosses seem to have lots of ranged abilities and only a very small set of weak melee attacks. Allowing melee dps to go all out all the time, and forcing ranged dps to spend all their time dodging and running around.

Which brings us back to the class balance problem again-there is no way that a ele/necro/engi/ranger/whatever can out-dps(or even reach a similar level) a warrior in melee +all of those classes have much less base hp and armor than the warr(esp in full dps armor)
