Guild Wars 2

It tastes like burning.

Furiousbeard.7602:

Peeps need to enjoy these close matches instead of worrying who wins. Trust me, its FAR better than a blowout.

It is like a finger pointing the way to the moon. Don’t… stare at the beard… um… I can’t look away. Help.

Kreaven.3172:

Man I come back from my 3 month Hiatus and find EP gone = (.

The sauce is calling you!!!!

I wish McD’s would just sell the McRib sauce in drink form. *prrr*

I don’t think Scarlet would be the best example of curious awesomeness that is sylvari engineering. There’s a difference between being crazy about something and being something crazy.

I missed joo FA! SoS, not quite as much.

GL HF, all that.

Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the Skull Throne!

Kigera.9584:

Is it my turn to whine and moan about stuff that every other server does? Someone tag me in, please.

Where should I tag you?

Don’t forget your somewhat spammable blast finisher on Cluster Bomb, Shortbow #2.

Heal, heal, heal or Might, might, might. It’s a party.

Bacon-winged blue-dorito unicorn GO!

The same reason some people LOVE their LEGO sets.

No, but I’m interested in running away from it.

Long time, no see the FA. I miss joo.

For reference, 1 out of 8 is 12.5%.

Asura have a superior brain to mass ratio. All the other races have inefficient excessive mass not required to support their intellect.

Windu The Forbidden One.6045:

What he means (I think) is that instead of things like breasts and butts; ears can be (but not necessarily are) a turn on for Asura.

As long as we’re not getting around to Rex Ryan and the alleged foot thing… we’re ALL good.

No Snowblind or Aetherblade here yet.

Ton of Cliffside and Mai, seemingly every time out of the 20 trips or so since the update. Probably closer to 4 out of every 5 runs. MeeeH!

Zott and Elli in the Whispers’ story line in Orr. Nuff said. *sniffle*

If they’re alone, or the numbers are someone even, I just get on top of them and start spamming 1. Half the time, they’re so shocked that they waste time before they start attacking me.

Otherwise, it’s time to flee with the 5.

My sylvari looks very sylvari.

I just file her under stone cold honk nuts crazy.

Save the nitpicking for lice.

Pfft, details. Fun just is.

I had trouble with that basic Electrical Engineering class back in the day. Everything past V = I * R was a mystery to me.

It’s not that you can’t be on the frontlines. It’s more like you can’t take hits, period. Well, a few, but if you actually get pinned down, you can get downed fast.

keenlam.4753:

@WyldKat: Have u tried using Body Shot with Basilisk Venom?

Nope, not in WvW (mostly) or PvE. Daggerstorm and Thieves Guild both have more value for me than BV. Daggerstorm works better for me in group situations, and when I’m roaming alone Team Cheese usually gets the job done if I need it.

Doesn’t BV get popped by stunbreaks now? I don’t think it’s good enough to get picked over the other elites unless you’re really tricked out to use venoms. It’s been months since I used venom share, maybe half a year now. BV is ok for some solo boss fights where you expect your elite thieves to act like redshirted Stormtroopers.

P/D can kill yaks in WvW really well. One good Caltrops alone almost does the trick.

deathTouch.9706:

Time to stop sucking on the tower and siege nipple.

You name nipples?

I don’t remember anything like that from my Dream.

deathTouch.9706:

Why TC, why do you do this to my heart?

Because, deep down, we really love each other.

grave of hearts.7830:

I am really curious if the tc ever complain on the commander that is serving them on a plate to us.

Grass grows, birds fly, sun shines…

Chris.3290:

No one should be mocked at this point.

I’m a Buccaneers fan. Maaaybe we beat the Rams in Week 16. Probably not.

I need mock drafts. Light up my life. Give me hope. To carry on. 0 – 16?

Asudementio.8526:

…all you are doing is tarnishing what could be a matchup with meaningful experiences.

I thought we did the tarnishing, being Tarnished Coast and all.

I’ve hit gates, been ramming them with other rams start to end, and no credit a few times.

Rance.4570:

Why is it that TC is always in a zerg?

I think it’s because we outnumber you.

Chris.3290:

An observation, the tendency of TC to overreact to the slightest action with insanity numbers…

Hrm. Maaaybe. If I commit to this argument, I’d only prove your point. But if I don’t, I’d only prove your point. Darn you and your pointy point! emo! rp angst

Ok. I made your point. Maybe both of them. No, only the insane one. I need TC backup to help me with the numbers one.

Chris.3290:

…but TC doesn’t wipe it’s bum with anything less than a 8 man team.

Is this a compliment or an insult? The more the merrier, right?

One of those norn elites has a dash that covers an amazing amount of distance. I’ve had two people run away this week that’s left me feeling like Wile E. Coyote after the Road Runner meep-meep’d him.

JaNordy.6149:

No, there are no solo roamers for TC.

I tried to solo-roam-a-pult Mendon last night. Then a Mags General rolled into the tower. Then a TC tag rolled into Speldon. Then I said something about the wall being at 66%. Then the TC and Mags all rolled in.

Group hugs, good times, loot bags followed. Both sides.

It was like Woodstock. Only without the drugs and music. More or less. Hopefully people had more.

Buzzcrave.6197:

Reviving a 1 year old thread?

Insert Viagra joke.

Kenmei.7138:

There’s only 1 viable build for thief atm

Politician?

It seems to be working well for me when I put it in the mix. Yes, each time used chews up a CnD’s worth of initiative. I’m getting good mileage by using it as a means of control and trying to cover up the bleed stacks.

Looks like you guys were doing pretty good for yourselves before the change. It can be spammed, especially if you’re trying to hold someone in place, but I’m not. For whatever reason, it’s made things a lot easier for me when I do go to it.

Wanted to get your opinions on it and thanks for sharing yours. *grin*

I was trying to say that I’m finding myself taking mesmers out faster now. It was more of a grind for me before.

ykyk.2740:

TC actually can’t kill anyone without outnumbering them at least 30 to 1, so any less and we need to catch the person by surprise.

You say this like it’s a bad thing?
*holds up her Thief card*

HeNnAz.8913:

To me a thief and an engineer are similar.

We are Batman!

Posted to the mesmers, but wanted to see the thiefy take too:

I was using my P/D thief main in WvW this weekend and noticed I’m having a much easier time against mesmers. I’m attributing it to the immobilize/vulnerability on the tweaked Body Shot (pistol #2). It seems to me that laying 2 conditions on top of my bleed stack, with one being immobilize, is fairly lethal.

Are you guys seeing this from our side of the matchup?

The only rough time I had of it in a 1v1 involved the mesmer popping a very hilariously timed Mirror. Most of the time, the Body Shot spam (1.75 sec immob) got people to tear through their condition clears, and that was that.

It was also great to run down stragglers for the zerg. Infiltrators Arrow / Shadowstep and then pop a Body Shot.

A spammable immobilize seems to be the greatest thing since Spam. I wouldn’t be surprised if they upped the initiative cost up to 5. I did find myself overdoing it a few times this weekend and not having any init for emergencies in WvW, but between Last Resort and Shadowstep, it usually worked out in the end.

And when it didn’t, it still worked out in my end.

Men have breasts too. Some more than others. We could say the dangly bits fell off and call it even.

Actually,

If I was going for sexy, my Determination Headband and a grin. Nothing else.

I highly recommend people consider burst situations when they make builds. Practicing your reactions helps too.

How am I going to deal with X?

When I first started my necro, I was getting utterly destroyed by D/P thieves. Try not to get discouraged by initial results. Figure out what happened and how you can make improvements.

It’s all about give and take while you’re getting better. Ok, so it’s a lot better to give than take when it comes to damage, but still...

I enjoy thief because I have fun with it. Stealth makes its own fun. Get in on someone and back out and just watch them failflail around trying to hit something that isn’t there. Mid-zerg mashup stomping the downed. Love Shack teammate rallies in those same mashups. Playing Slap-a-yak until they call in enough people to keep you away, and then hit the yak over there instead. Thief. SO. MUCH. FUN.

I also have a necro (epidemic whee), mesmer (no no, I’m not the real one) and guardian (ZOMG, I’m still alive?).

Edit: Play what you enjoy. Don’t worry what others are playing. Or how for that matter.

After reading the comments, I would like to add…

Love and Hugs

It would help us decipher what you are talking about if you used the reply feature.

I took out the bits we didn’t need. Besides, rational and coherent is so overrated!

So "Help help HAAALP!" can be a mantra.

Assuming you’re going for condition damage with scepter and dagger, in rabid gear, the Earth sigils are good. I roll with a Sigil of Corruption in my dagger to help out with the bleed damage.
