but isnt iSwordman dmg better than iDuelist over time cause of attack frequency?
i always thought thats the case
Control effects ignoring defiance? Then what would be the point of Defiance? That’s like saying all attacks should ignore Armor and Toughness – you make the mechanic worthless.
You used to be able to immobilize Mai Trin – not sure if you still can. And a Mesmer can reflect her Lightning shot that teleports her (you end up teleporting to hear and doing pretty decent dmg).
30 points into a traitline and not beeing able to pick the mantra dmg thingy
and only u, not ur teammates
but it would be op in pve according to chaos
and iSwordman deals more overtime dmg than duelist cause of atk frequency
pve or wvw? iwarden in pve all the way
conjures dont scale well as mesmer as far as i know
oh so then it would be overpowered in pve..? would be nice if control effects ignored defiance.. would be nice to pull mai trin in fractals into the shieldbreaking aoe field when running w ppl who dont know how to stack >.<
and in way more cases …
anyway scrap the idea if it would be op..
but they need to change it somehow anyway.. accepting suggestions in comments!
go on ppl, dont be shy
forgot to say : as condi u r kind of unkillable , while powerpu still has several risks
u want a direct dmg pu build?
or a condi pu build?
in condi tho u need ur enemys to atk u, if they just ignore u (by ignore i mean just use blocks heals and evades etc without atking u ) u cant do anything to them , u barely even will tickle them, it needs ur enemy to be aggressive, but if u r playing w a thief partner it should be fine
Engineers biggest weaknes is is stability especialy in WvW and no toss elixir B is useless. Also we need something for group more than blasts.
Could you please qualify your statement? How exactly is it useless?
How is a lack of stability a weakness per se? When the profession has plenty of applicable stun breakers?
most engineers only got slots for 1 or no stunbreakers in their build at all
and stability of the elixir is only taken in hgh builds
My opinion on what the strengths/weaknesses should be:
- Warrior:
Strengths: high power damage (especially at melee), good survivability.
Weaknesses: Low mobility.- Guardian:
Strengths: Great survivability, good support.
Weaknesses: Only moderate damage without allies.- Ranger:
Strengths: Best ranged power damage, decent mobility.
Weaknesses: Not so great when in melee range, only moderate armor/health.- Engineer:
Strengths: Versatility.
Weaknesses: Not being great at anything.- Thief:
Strengths: Great melee burst damage.
Weaknesses: Very low survivability (which would mean very little, if any, stealth or a rework of stealth (maybe only let it work out of combat)).- Elementalist:
Strengths: Great damage.
Weaknesses: Very low survivability.- Necromancer:
Strengths: Great condition damage.
Weaknesses: Barely any burst capability.- Mesmer:
Strengths: Clones, decent support.
Weaknesses: Low survivability once the real mesmer gets attacked.
and another one throwing ranger to : range[ r ] , i enjoy ranger meele the most… sw/d / gs

he asked highest burst, burst is when do an insane amount of dmg in a short time:0
dmging bit before shouldnt be a problem for his question:p
is anyone actually using power block atm? if so, could u link ur build
i never rly met anyone using it yet, and i just wonder atm if someone even using it
if no1 is using it, i got an idea of improving it for pve.. honestly i dont pve much myself but still would like to see that:
how about making it ignore stability and defiance ?
just get rid of the extra 5 s cooldown on interrupt and add that, it wouldnt even be that strong cause if u go30 in top line, u either have to choose between 15 in illusions for summoning illusions cd, or deceptive evasion , chaotic interruption , u will lack clone regen or a real lockdown for pvp, so it would nowhere be overpowered
thats all~
meh u should have tagged him w some sustained dmg before, therefor u do get loot and deal an infinite amount of dmg:0
guys , highest dmg possible in 1 sec :
eotm map, someones gonna use skill 5 of weap skills, u moa him, he uses moa 5 down the cliff
all ur arguments r invalid
in 20/20/0/0/30 shatter build with illusinary elsticity
torch 4, go close to enemy, use gs2 and dodge at same time and use mindwrack during dodge
its 1 sec, brings glassy ppl down right away
shatter builds ftw
its one of my fav bands as well:p
anyway, as i am trying to lvl up to play the lvl 80 content w ranger i am lvl 35 atm, i could now use the elite to counter knockbacks of the wind guy things, but idk how i should do the guy w the book, he has that burst wich i cant rly read well when he is using it, can try anyway tho:p
The book lady is easy, you can 100% negate the burst in exchange for minor damage over time (easily negated by our gazillion sources if regen) by standing inside her shadow circles, aka the thing you need to pull her into anyway.
arent those blue thingys meant to pull her into them so we can dmg her?
anyway i did full gauntlets w my mesmer on day 1, managed to burst her down without actually seeing how to deal with her aoe insta down skill
u should get a poison sigil instead burn duration maybe
in wich servers are u? na or eu? i might be able to help u out ingame on stuff u dont manage if u r in eu
u can still blink into salma district
got tons of friends in na from another game, we started gw2 in different times, i made some join recently, and some joined like months ago
but most didnt rly check and ended in different servers at start, was trying to get everyone to one particular server tho, didnt expect that lag, most of them live in america so it shouldnt be a problem for them though
oh well, thanks for the replys anyway , i am in eu btw
i just migrated from eu to a na server, and i got 0.5 sec delays on everything atm, it may not seem so much at start but it would make a huge impact in wvw/pvp
any of u had same problem?
is it cause i just migrated and smth needs to wait … so it gets better soon?
what if it doesnt get better? shall i ask anet to move me back to eu and a refund ?
a unircorn pls!!
pyro, u linked my build, u need to get a new link from down there by ‘get quick link’, dont just copy the adresse link:p
good players wll always use a dodge on ur leap, but most ppl wont expect the bit delayed focus 4 and will waste a dodge right away, then get pulled with iwarden on top, then u can leap when they r cced and pin them down
This whole thread is giving advice to a person that’s never played a single mmo before. Do you really think that PvP specific advice is going to help?
Answer: It won’t. It’s just going to be confusing. Keep it simple, keep it PvE, and keep it general.
ops sry, my fault, mistook threads
good players wll always use a dodge on ur leap, but most ppl wont expect the bit delayed focus 4 and will waste a dodge right away, then get pulled with iwarden on top, then u can leap when they r cced and pin them down
ah ops, if u cant stand his dmg get more defensive gears as well* , in build i posted u got 3 stuns as utilitys only tho and those r more than enuf if u consider ur pistol 5 and gs 5 as well
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fhAQNAsaRlsnpMtNoxGNUrRiqhc2mPRZ30kKQ56A
in full zerker
basically stun eevery leap of liadri, using mirror heal also removes cripple, stay with sword the whole first phace, use sword 2 when the aoes r falling on u(u can switch to sword as well on second phace if u r in panic and dont have anything else left to use, it evades clones either), i rly didnt have any difficultys on second phace
she should get all weapons asap and try them out, i personally loved staff and sword/sword the most
u do know that iWarden doesnt work half of the time right?
wich weapons is she using/ does she love most?
lvling a mesmer is probably the most difficult one, she is gonna have a tough time
just saaying this, sry for not helping out:p
its one of my fav bands as well:p
anyway, as i am trying to lvl up to play the lvl 80 content w ranger i am lvl 35 atm, i could now use the elite to counter knockbacks of the wind guy things, but idk how i should do the guy w the book, he has that burst wich i cant rly read well when he is using it, can try anyway tho:p
for the eles, stop drop and roll trait, its one of the best traits, removes chill and burn on dodge roll, give ot another look, i use it and i am rly doing well w it
dualwielding is not possible tho, and he maybe wants to see with aura together, aura isnt vicible either
about the ‘break channeled skills upon attunement swap’ this wouldnt hurt d/d as much as u think but, it would destroy s/x eles… and there arent even many around…i play s/d sometimes in pvp when i am bored but, i cant imagine how i would be playing and bursting ppl down if channels would be broken on attunement swap..
well.. i didnt have any traits nor most of the utilitys, no elite, no experience as ranger
and no gears
so i thought it would be kind of a hit:0
halbard for mesmer
new weapon kind, fits mesmer either in my opinion
try berserkers amu, but u gonna die in few hits either
so just did it for fun~
its not rly difficult
and its fun:0
enjoy!
bad critic acceptable
its not something so serious so dont get worked up about it pls
yes u gotta deal with the way i made this thread
bye~
actually, even on shatter u rely on Al attacks, to get the most of shatter builds u synchronoize them with phantasm attacks mostly, well with offhand sword at least
when i was building my ranger in pvp i always went 30 on top line to get the signet affects u as well, so that i could use the no dmg taken signet thingy, thats a bad idea then?
He mentioned it twice that he clearly does not want to run a PU build yet some people on here keep straying off insisting that PU is viable. I guess common sense isn’t common anymore.
well, the thing they talk about isnt based on the topic anymore:p
samoith pig is fun
but well.. someone got a nice power build for me? pvp/roaming
couldnt rly find one, preferably with a gs
the main problem was the reta dmg not the dmg of our skills
anyway, i am taking all my comments about the fact that bf should be affected by reta back
after this thread was created i zerged a bit just to see how stuff r goin
and yep, blurred frenzying is basically a selfdestruction button in zergs
getting downed on ranger is forgiving
so it is on phantasm specs if u got 2 or more phantasms up
else , as mesmer u should rly try hard not to get downed unless u can rely 100% on ur teammates
well, i think shatter is pretty much the only real viable pvp spec besides condi pu
according to ur signature u play thief tho
kind of funny:p
