WvW Front line Mesmer

in Mesmer

Posted by: XTR.9604

So the question that you always need to wrestle with regarding a frontline Mesmer build is …but why?

Can you survive? Yeah, reasonably well. You’ve got stability from shatters, so combined with the stability change you should be pretty ok for most pushes. You’ve got decent health and armor and the channeled blocks from shield, so you’ll usually survive. However, this doesn’t answer the question of why.

Well the reason of why is so that the front line gets more boons since the push is painful a lot of times. Being able to push with every boon in the game on you and 25 stacks of might does make the push a bit better.

I haven’t personally run this yet, but we had someone running with our group running a build similar and our front line seemed to be a lot better off for having that mesmer with us.

If you’re really going for a boonshare comp, you get the boonshare rolling before you actually engage, that way you don’t have important boons stripped before they can be shared. Additionally, you don’t generate any important boons in the middle of a fight. All the aoe BD boons are basically garbage compared to what your group should be maintaining with just normal upkeep, and the quickness/stab on shatter don’t last long enough to share them in a meaningful way. You don’t have a real way of applying resistance, so that’s out too.

Agreed for the most part, except it will be able to provide additional boons from the shatters like the stability, vigor, regen, and most importantly, the resistance that you get from F5 and durability runes.

Lastly, you’ll barely do enough damage to even tag things with your sword cleave, you have essentially zero aoe, and your only big control skill skills are either on a long cd or like to disappear upon hitting a funny wall or a recently downed enemy.

I’ve been thinking swapping out the GS for Staff so that it will get more tags and have more boons to share. I would know the damage won’t be much, but it is mostly there for utility. I think having staff would be the icing on the cake vs running GS personally. I think I’m going to go ahead and change that.

So we get back to the question of …but why? You don’t contribute anything to a frontline group outside of the initial boonshare that should have been done before the engage. During a fight you’re just soaking up healing and boons that could instead be getting applied to an actually useful class like warrior or guardian. There’s really no reason whatsoever to run a frontline Mesmer build.

Like I said above, the shatters and the resistance from Continuum Split is a big help in the front line. One of the most commonly said front line things is “I got condi bombed” lol. So if the front line is running durability runes and this mesmer is also running them and using Continuum Split, that is permanent resistance in the front line essentially. Unless you play front line, you won’t know why the tears of joy are flowing at that idea lol.

Your links always get blocked for porn and not safe so can’t look at it at work lol. But is it basically the same thing that someone put on metabattle recently?

http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Chronomancer_-_Boonshare_

No it is not the same as the metabattle build.

Not sure why my link is blocked, might want to talk to whoever your system admin is to have it unblocked, I assure you the link is safe.

Having so many full servers sucks. I feel sorry for solo roamers and small havoc guilds that want to move.

Why feel bad for us roamer and havoc guilds?? The roaming in T1 and T2 isn’t as good as it is in T3 currently. We can all go to a server linked with a T3 server and the roaming is gooooooood. I’m on BP paired with FA right now and I’ve been having a blast roaming.

I’m sure it has been done plenty, but here is a WvW front line boon sharing mesmer build that I came up with. I haven’t tested it, but it seems like it would be tank enough and should be able to stack tons of boons up on allies.

i would say that wvw filled up only for the reward track! but no ones want to admit it! (i do wvw from day 2 and always done 5-8 hours in wvw)

Definitely not. The reward track is all fine and dandy, but my guild and I returned to WvW because Alpine returned.

And I still can’t understand how someone can complain about spending $50 for limitless hours of entertainment. I spend more than $50 in a night doing dinner and a movie with my fiance, lol…

Rank is irrelevant to the discussion of driver sniping. Any seasoned pin sniper can pick a driver out of the group regardless of rank, class, guild or otherwise within 10 seconds.

Yes – we’ve established this like 12 times so far in the thread. BUT – you can easily snipe out by the highest ranked Guardian, which is what a lot of groups do anyway lol.

Objectives in WvW that are soloable ?

in WvW

Posted by: XTR.9604

XTR.9604

I’ve soloed everything on my Elementalist, Warrior, Guardian and Necro. That means camps, towers and yes, keeps. Never solo’d SM but I’ve duoed it.

Are you on a low population server? It seems that everytime I even run by SM I get several people from the other server chasing me, regardless of if I’m attacking or not. And taking SM…… yesterday I logged out after ~1 hour of trying to take SM with a blob of at least 100 people. Normally I don’t like blob play, but any chance I get at SM I take it.

At the time that I duo’d SM, yes – it was on Borlis Pass when we were in T6 at like 2AM when no one was there lol.

As far as keeps and such go, depends on time of day – I haven’t solo’d a keep in a pretty long time since the populations of the servers have risen. But camps and towers I solo all the time daily.

Hide ranks

XTR.9604

Don’t need ranks to see who is the driver. Just observe movements of the melee train for 10seconds and you will see it. You can hide ranks etc but that won’t stop me from spotting them.

That is fine, and has been mentioned multiple times in this thread. It takes more skill to find the driver (doesn’t take much most of the time) if ranks are unseen. I am simply saying that if the ranks were hidden, it would be harder for most people to do.

Surely it won’t effect me since typically the guardian that leaps first is the driver – but I often leap first when my driver says “leaping in 3, 2, 1” – I leap on 3 so that I get focused first so he wont lol. There are plenty of ways to juke people, but ultimately the highest ranked Guardian gets a target on his head within seconds of the fight.

Disagree with this idea.

Are you the driver of any group? If so, what is your rank? I don’t think you’d be disagreeing if you were a driver getting super focused all the time.

Also curious to hear an explanation of why you disagree other than just disagreeing. I’m pretty open minded, but some kind of reasoning is the only way I can see your side lol.

Rank 3200 roughly. Yes i have tagged (not regularly). Yes i get focussed (even when not tagged).

Worked hard to get the rank and that’s why i don’t want it removed. PvPers get the shiny little rank icon. Might be a bit of an ego thing, but that’s ok.

To each their own. My rank pretty much just got away from me lol. I got most of my ranks from roaming and just flipping camps, towers and keeps with a small group of 2-5 people. High ranks just make it look like all you did was EOTM or zerg around your whole time in WvW lol. Most people I run in to around my Platinum rank or higher while roaming are EASY to beat and seem to have zero skill. I don’t care about showing my rank when roaming, but in larger group play, being able to hide it would be a nicer thing. I would be fine with it being hidden by default and everyone just being an “Invader” to the enemy.

GvG Scene and anet

in WvW

Posted by: XTR.9604

XTR.9604

There are several reasons the GvG scene is dead.

1. Stability change reallllllly hurt GvGs and turned WvW into a pirate ship meta because pushing was not an option often enough.

2. Most of the bigger GvG guilds have left the game or fallen apart because of reason #1.

3. Like others said, people burn out and moved on.

4. There are too few “competitive” guilds left to even do GvGs. I can only think of a few off top of my head, some of which aren’t even very interested in doing GvG.

I personally used to GvG pretty often with several guilds, it was fun but ultimately not as fun as WvW zerg busting in my opinion. I personally got burnt out on GvGing which is why I got away from it before the stability change anyway.

Rotating World Links: NO!

While I like being paired with Fort Aspenwood (I’m on Borlis Pass), I would not mind getting paired with another server. I think FA/BP have the best balance in NA right now, but I also don’t mind trolling, I mean meeting new people either.

The linking is a good way for ANet to determine population balance in WvW between 2 servers and link according to what is most balanced population wise. If people start stacking up BP, I don’t think we should continue to be linked with FA, I think we should get linked with a less populated server so that there is still balance in the world.

That means less chance of queues, better chance of meeting new friends and foes, keeps the game interesting because of the diversity.

@xtr – interesting take preferring guest over host. Some of what you say makes pretty darn good sense. Ill be interested on how you and others that made similar moves feel after re-linking as well.

I’ve transferred so many times because of servers dying down, turning in to bandwagons or the fights just getting boring. Something like 16+ times I’ve transferred to a bunch of servers between my 2 accounts, some servers I’ve been on more than once or twice even haha. I’ve honestly lost count, but I know it was at least 16 times lol..

For me, being on a “guest server” means I may experience different communities and that ANet will automatically balance my server with another server (or maybe the same one) every quarter, which essentially SAVES me money from having to transfer again to be in a more balanced place once more.

totally the opposite for me. same server since head start. when the matches get bad, I play an alt (which has moved 6 times or so), work on pve check-list, or go play another game (usually rift). Eventually the blowouts (both ways) go away…

Just wondering…. Would you actually prefer a large scale pvp (10-15-20-25) with the proper ladders etc? I wonder if that is the real answer in the end for many.

I would rather move around to different servers than play PvE or another game, I very much enjoy GW2.

As far as larger scale PvP goes, I prefer running 5-8 people personally, or even solo roaming. I play with another group that runs 15-20 generally as well. It is fun to see the group synergy and to take on groups larger.

Many would say that since I’d prefer to play with 5 people that I should go play PvP, but I do not enjoy PvP nearly as much as WvW. The builds in PvP are far too limited and it takes away build diversity that you have in places like WvW. I will play PvP from time to time and some times I’ll get on a kick where I play PvP almost exclusively for a few days, but ultimately I always go back to WvW where I can play with better builds.

@XTR

Yes, mostly it’s either warrior or guardian, but I’ve had also the pleasure to run with other commanders who have played with an unusual commander professions. So I never trust what I see in wvw.

Yeah, I remember back in the day on Maguuma with Duke driving on a zerker staff ele lol. I am not saying this is the case at all times, but your typical groups driver IS the highest ranked Guardian lol. I’ve been able to call out the [PS] driver and [Sekz] driver every time we’ve seen them running, two “skill groups” that prove the point that the highest ranked guardian is usually the driver lol.

WvW & FULL servers.

XTR.9604

Talk about totally missing the point of my post. The issue I have with servers being full has nothing to do with stacking servers or transferring guilds for crying out loud. It’s about transferring individuals to a guild’s home server so they can participate in WVW activities with the rest of the guild.

FULL servers as currently implemented make this pretty much impossible. It’s a bonehead idea because it does not consider any needs of players wanting to transfer for reasons other than things related to server stacking.

There needs to be a way for someone on a server apart from where the majority of their guild is to transfer to where the guild is. Right now this is not possible for half of the servers. Long term the current situation is untenable.

Next time please read the posting and make an effort to understand it before replying.

No I fully understand what you’re saying, and I stand by my statement. Individuals even should not be transferring to over stacked servers, period. Their INTENTIONS for transferring do not matter, the server is full.

You should move your guild to a server that isn’t stacked if you want to play with other people, maybe even the guest server that is attached to your host server. It is easy to see that they’re trying to promote people moving OFF of the over stacked servers to a lower population server to balance things out. So either stay on the over stacked full server you’re on or transfer to another server.

Lets say you have a car that seats 5 people. 2 in front, 3 in back. Now you want to throw in another 5 people. Can’t really do that can ya? Maybe you can put people on peoples laps, but that is not comfortable (WvW queues) right? On those “FULL” servers, there are already 10 people in that car that seats 5. That is why they’re not letting anyone else in.

My WvW Revenant Build

XTR.9604

I experience absolutely reverse situation, most of roamers I stumble upon either druids or warriors with some occasional condi mesmers. Warrior also takes a big piece of duellers I meet at eb/home border duells spots.

A lot of what I seem to run in to are thieves and mesmers for the most part. I’ve been seeing more and more Guardians recently, some revenants too. I see druids but I have never met one that was worth while to fight unfortunately.

I don’t play my Revenant as much as I play my Guardian and Elementalist for roaming solo, it seems to shine brightest in smaller groups more than solo.

Another video of 1v1s against a Guardian that is actually pretty good running my Ele build a few days ago.

I’m no hater but some things I have noticed.

1. Somehow it feels like you just blow your shouts when you feel like it. I mean you just use your Shock and Aftershock even when he just swapped back to GS so you didn’t use it for defensive purposes. You weren’t even dropping any combos for that immob so it wasn’t used offensively either.

So here is where the guy was actually pretty decent, he noticed when I used aftershock and immediately switched from LB to GS. My shocking aura is something I use as soon as its off cooldown if I can because the guy is going to always be attacking me and I’ll always want to have him stunned lol. Generally part of my combo is to air overload then swap to Earth to immobilize them inside of my field, but it was just too late almost every time. He got out of it more often than not. I try to use my fire shout aura when I am doing an over load since it does not interrupt it and its nice to have that extra burning on top of the over loads damage. Keep in mind that all of my auras heal me and clear conditions, so if I am in a bind and need a heal or cleanse quickly, I will absolutely blow all of my auras to get back to full HP. Using my 3 utilities and 2 more auras (air 3, earth 4) will easily get me from almost no HP back to full if my heal is on cooldown. I also will use my water 5 + water 3 combo and water overload.

2. He has some serious face-tanking problems. Why would he choose to stay inside your overloads and dropped AoE fields for a good 3-5s before leaving? WH actually has great condi damage given that enemies stay in it. He just went out with 500+ burning damage then uses F2 leap to go back inside wild fire? o_O

Well he knows I am a celestial ele and underestimates the fact that I actually DO damage, sure it isn’t huge bursts, its all combo damage, but it is damage and he figures I am just your tank ele. The overloads creep up on you, you don’t realize they’re doing a lot of damage until its too late usually lol. Mistakes were made for sure on both sides, but over all they were good fights.

3. Does he know how to actually fight a tempest? He hit you multiple times with GS#5 while overloading, even on water, but he doesn’t activate it. He never uses Spear of Justice to stop your overloads. Heck, it seems that he doesn’t even use the trait Heavy Light which is an incredibly standard trait to fight against tempests, especially 3 shout tempests.

Yeah that I am not sure on with that. I figured he wanted the ticks from the GS5 instead of pulling, which is not how I would have gone about it on my guardian at all. I think my Guardian would do well against my ele, but not well enough to beat it I imagine. Guardian and Ele have been my two main classes for awhile now. I don’t ever use heavy light on my Guardian personally, it is a good trait for PvP but I’d rather take the skill that removes conditions while blocking. That is a preference thing though. Since I don’t have anything really in the way of stun break, it would be smart to run that, but I don’t think it would be a deal breaker in the fight.

4. What the heck is his build? He knows he’s fighting a Tempest so Traps with Daze should be standard but he have any, heck he doesn’t have a single offensive trap. He doesn’t have Heavy Light either. With no stability in your build aside from Earth, IMO you would’ve been destroyed if he knew how properly use interrupts.

Immobilize on F2 is better than the trap daze on Guardian. 3 second immobilize with a heal to yourself and damage, I never run the traps daze outside of PvP. Like I said above with heavy light too, the cleanse on block is nice to have – I don’t know if he is running that or not but I assume he is. I haven’t lost to a Guardian in a 1v1 yet, haven’t lost to a warrior that was running heavy CCs either. Him using his pull with GS more often or F1 pull more often wouldn’t have saved him. I could outheal his damage too easily.

I really can’t rate your build based on that video because the DH clearly doesn’t know what he was doing. As far as playstyle goes I was hoping to learn some good D/W combos for PvP use but I guess I didn’t see any actual combos. I would love to see how you would fare against aids condi builds though. Something like Dire Perplex Thief/Reaper who knows how to actually play their class.

PvP and WvW are very different in their game play. I won’t even bother myself fighting a thief usually, the cheesy run away stealth garbage is annoying. Reaper that actually knows how to play COULD be a challenge, but I haven’t met one lol. I’ve beat up on every necro I’ve fought with ease because they just blow their cooldowns and then just freeze up when I cleanse everything they put on me in less than 2 seconds. I built this build around fighting condition classes back before they removed the Celestial amulet from PvP and was beating up on all of those condi reapers when they were the meta thing to do.

I welcome anyone to 1v1 me, I generally won’t 1v1 thieves because I get so tired of chasing invisible people around all day. Power thieves can’t kill me, condi thief may be able to but it would take a long time and I don’t feel like chasing around an invisible person trying to fight them while they just keep going in stealth, pressing pistol 1, dropping a couple more things then hiding again lol.. Boring to fight that.

Hiding ranks wont prevent “driver sniping”. We had called this pin sniping, and a few times I did this. It was funny, but the rank was the last thing you’ve looked for when doing this. Against the zerg you only see a bunch of red names. It’s helpful when you have to decide, but not really necessary. You can still identify the commander, the only thing which helps is to have a back-up commander.

The memories of pin-sniping a commander, who always had have raged on the other players, bring me still an evil smile on my face. The rank system was late introduce in the game, it says nothing about the skill the player have.

Back before they hid the ability to see the “commander tag” on the enemy players when you targeted them, that was how you pin sniped. They had to remove that because of pin sniping lol.

And yes, as I said previously, Rank is not the only thing that goes in to driver sniping, however you have a pretty good chance of targeting the highest ranked Guardian and it being the driver.

Simple logic says that the driver is there for all of the WvW raids for their guild and has probably pugmanded a bit or ran with zergs a lot during off-raid hours, which would make them a higher rank than most of their others that are more casual.

I’m a Platinum Raider currently, it is actually helpful to my group (when I am playing with the bigger guild I play with, not roaming) that I play a big tanky Guardian, so when I get focused, the driver is free to do what needs done. I feel the focus when I play that character in that group, I know people are going for me specifically because I’m getting Moa’d and stuff too lol.

Complaining about"driver sniping" as if it is unfair or dishonorable is by far the stupidest thing Ive heard anyone complain about in terms of WvW fights.

The enemy commander is an enemy, and if the enemy group is not competent enough to continue fighting once that commanders dies; they deserve their defeat.

The point of a group fight is to win. The “call target” function is designed for your team to strategically pick a target to focus down.

I’m not saying driver sniping shouldn’t be possible – I am saying that by hiding the ranks, it will make it harder and people will need to be more skillful about it than just targeting the highest ranked guardian they see.

Thief for sure the fastest. Ranger #2 I think. I am not sure what the next would be, its either:

Warrior (GS/Sword+Shield)

Revenant (as long as they have a target in Assassin stance)

Guardian (No swiftness, but if they have a target with sword 2, judges intervention and GS3, they are pretty good gap closers.)

XTR.9604

well we don’t know how they will re-link. last time was simply 1+24 / 2+23 based on glicko. glicko is no longer tracked on the guests so it will have to be something different. You are probably right with pop. Indeed the hosts somewhere in the middle have a more likely chance of retaining their current links or at least linking with servers with similar pops.

if you had the choice of moving to FA or a host, would you have gone that route? It would seem a better way going into the future is to have some of the hosts open.

Either way, glad it worked for your group.

I’m honestly happy that I only had to pay 500 gems per person in my guild instead of paying the higher cost of the higher populated servers. Plus, if FA gets stacked up for some reason (bandwagon) and then BP gets paired with someone else, that will be better for me and my guild. Last time we were on FA, it turned in to a bandwagon and all 4 maps were super queued every single night during NA prime. It got to the point where my guild HAD to transfer (like on Blackgate) if we intended to keep playing together.

So really, a server that is in Tier 3 is the best place to be in my opinion, but probably the linked server verses the host server.

Still no “rules” on how often the re-link will occur, exactly how the re-link works, and if the cost will change to transfer again. Glad it worked for you and your group, but many won’t bother until these things are written in stone.

Now if some of the hosts were actually open, then I’d bet maybe more might do what your group did. Only time will tell of course.

I doubt it though, they’re not randomizing the links, they’re linking based on population of the servers. Since Borlis Pass is linked with FA, we’ve taken a decent amount of transfers in (including my guild) that have made BP a pretty healthy server again. Same went for Eredon Terrace, they took a lot of transfers in from people who wanted to play on Blackgate, now they’re a pretty healthy server too. When the pairs change to balance the servers again, I imagine a very different pairing than what there is now minus a few servers. I think FA and BP are in a good place together, the coverage is balanced, the queues are little to none – I think it worked out very well for those two servers, but we’re very much “right in the middle” of the server listings, top of T3, right in the middle of all of the servers #6 of 12 lol.

If every server had the balance FA/BP has right now, every server would be in a good place. T1 is very out of balance. T2 is partially in balance, but still over populated (argue with me on it all you want, its true), T3 is very well balanced, T4 is a little under populated still.

Elementalist role in wvw

The title is Elementalist Role in WvW…if you share me builds wich i know that at the moment are weak for ROAMING , i dont understand if evryone think that elementalist is good in that or is just the start of the wave and probally i will need to wait another time when WATER probally will be nerfed to. Is Elementalist designed in your opinion to became a healer and only that or you still think elementalist can roam?
,,and yes now i will dedicate time to find all the elementalist that i know to fight against this other profesione builds make a video and share in such a way for you to try it since you like builds to share,,

I don’t think the builds are the issue here.

I have lost ONE 1v1 on my Elementalist with my roaming build, and it was to a friend who plays Revenant and is VERY good at it. I’ve done literally hundreds of 1v1s with my Ele and have only lost one since I started running my build. So I’ll happily 1v1 you to prove to you that Elementalist for roaming is good IF you know how to play. The build can only carry you so much, its user error if you can’t compete roaming on an Elementalist.

Dude you troll everyone with your horrible builds.

You use scrapper runes way too often and is an abysmal choice on a full cele elementalist. Hoelbrak is far superior. If you learn how to effectively play classes and rotations you will realize you don’t need extra toughness from your runes.

As others on this thread have mentioned….show us some video proof of your wonderful talents and diverse builds in action.

Let me help you out here. Notice how there is so much damage reduction stuff on my build? That is why I take little so damage in fights lol. Scrapper runes are my choice frequently because I am an “in your face” kind of player and having the damage reduction for me being so close to my enemies works out well for me. It is also nice that the runes give power and toughness, two traits that you can’t go wrong with as a power build. Sure hoelbrak would give me more might and some negative condi duration, but I clear conditions so fast it doesn’t matter, so it would be a waste for me. I’d rather have the toughness and damage reduction personally, which is why I use it on MY build. Its your choice if you want to play it. I share it and I’ve gotten tons of positive feed back by pm’s on forums, emails, mail in game, etc. People ask for my builds on my stream and when I am roaming and win fights all the time, so I have them all readily available for viewing. If they’re trash, you’re welcome to 1v1 me and pick which class I beat you on lol.

I couldn’t get past the first ele video……your rotation is all wrong, do zero might stacking….and fighting a pure glass mesmer when you have cele gear to carry you. Hardly a challenge.

Nothing is really a challenge on my build except for a zerker rev that knows how to play the game, which by the way is the only thing that has beaten me in a 1v1 on my ele build.

I don’t get what it is with these forum warriors saying stuff is garbage but won’t 1v1 me.

http://asphyxia.tv/builds/

I have 3 different Elementalist builds there that I play. My front line build, roaming build and staff back line build.

Ele is still a lot of fun, you just have to gear and trait right for what you want to do. Let me know if you have any questions.

With all due respect…I strongly doubt you can kill anybody competent on other professions with your build…or any other builds for ele atm.
The OP was I guess a bit too stressed in his post..but I can easily sympathize with him as I feel the same frustration.

The sustain is there I guess in your build..but eles lacks the serious dmg to finish anything that is even remotely bunkerish.

Sorry but I seriously doubt you can kill any half decent scrapper/berseker/chrono/dd/druid. Respect to ele they have dmg on top of the sustain and this without much sacrifice

Personally I gave up on ele, he’ll never be anything more than a glorified support bot with pitiful dmg where you’ll kill some lowly player after a long long long fight and that’s the reason you don’t see roaming eles anymore, the OP is right in that regard

I mean no offense when I say this, but it has to be user error. If you don’t combo well and choose your attunements wisely, you’re going to have problems and it may seem like you’re lacking in damage. You can’t just click buttons and expect to win with Elementalist like you can with the likes of a warrior or scrapper.

You’re welcome to visit my stream and look at the many 1v1s I’ve won on it. I’ve even got some 2v1s I won lol.

2v1 win – sure they weren’t good but one was a ranger and one was a mesmer: https://www.twitch.tv/asphyxiaxt/v/60267683

Me vs a friend, he is actually pretty good, just can’t beat my ele https://www.twitch.tv/asphyxiaxt/v/35998634 (I was running dagger focus before I realized how amazing warhorn was in this video. Same traits and full cele still though.)

One friend and I beating up on several people who wanted to keep a tower from us: https://www.twitch.tv/asphyxiaxt/v/54310598

I have to go through my stream a bit to highlight more videos of my 1v1s, there are tons buried in hours of footage, I just haven’t had time to go through it all.

Why does RI exist?

in WvW

Posted by: XTR.9604

XTR.9604

I disagree. I think RI should definitely be there but I also think it should be shorter. 2.5 minutes maybe, but 5 minutes I think is excessive.

If something has RI, it tells me as a roamer where my enemies might be going, then I just skip the camp and try to find who took it so that I can take them down. I only take camps, towers and keeps between fights or to try to bring fights to me.

I think being able to choose what rank to display would be nice, and disabling titles from displaying to enemies would be good. Pin sniping in all honesty is not the most effective strategy unless you have a dedicated pick team for that kind of stuff, if your facing a competent group with a strong sustaining front line, that commander will be able to handle a lot of damage. Ideally you don’t want people wasting their bombs on a commander.

You might be surprised how many groups fall to pieces as soon as their driver goes down. The guild I run with that runs tag (BEEP) has multiple drivers, if one goes down, the next takes over immediately so that we don’t just fall to pieces because of the driver dying. Not very many groups seem to have a backup driver, much less 2 or 3 like we have lol. I find that when we have our backline focus out the driver, once that driver goes down state and their group hard commits to rezzing, we just bomb their body and poison as well, then just win the fight because the enemies either scatter or all go down trying to rez the driver.

WvW Frontline Engineer / Scrapper

in Engineer

Posted by: XTR.9604

XTR.9604

I’ll be honest with ya, Engineer isn’t really worth playing in a larger group. It is simply the master of nothing. Its good at a lot of things, but it isn’t the master at any of them. It is faced with the same issue Ranger is faced with, good at some things, but not a master at any.

For front line, generally this is territory for Guardian, Warrior, Revenant and Elementalist. All of which have good sustain and share boons to provide something to one another. Unfortunately, all of those classes are better at everything in the front line than Engineer would be. Engineer is great for roaming, it just doesn’t provide enough group support and AOE damage to be useful in the front line, especially with Grenades being projectiles, they end up doing more harm than good with as many reflects are on the field these days.

Here is my WvW engineer build: http://asphyxia.tv/wvw-roaming-engineer/

I can’t really tell you if it is going to be very good for larger group play because I simply haven’t tested it for that, I’ve only used it for roaming. I imagine it could do okay, but it would be outclassed at everything it can do in larger groups sadly.

Sniping based off of rank is just one of the ways to do it. Movement, guild tag, appearance, titles, effects, buffs, upgrades being used, etc etc…

Agreed – but generally the highest ranked Guardian is the driver. Sure not always, but there is frequent success for driver sniping based on that alone. I generally find the person who is ahead of their group, that person is also usually the highest ranked guardian lol. It is too easy to driver snipe right now, so taking away just that one thing I think would help out.

I also did a fun experiment and grabbed my alt account that is a very low rank (not even Bronze yet I think) and drove with my Asura Guardian on that account. The highest ranked Guardian was a Charr guardian that was only a silver something, he was getting focused the whole night while I rarely was touched even though I was ahead of my group at all times.

Objectives in WvW that are soloable ?

in WvW

Posted by: XTR.9604

XTR.9604

Yeah you need to get siege blue prints. Superior siege cost more supply but does more damage. Catapults are better than rams when running solo

Thanks. But trying this seems the most basic ram costs 40 supply, and I can carry only 10. This means I need to go back and forth several times to build anything solo?

Yes. Once you get to a higher rank, you can generally carry 20-25 supply at a time with supply mastery, +5 supply guild buff that is generally on every keep your server owns and the “Presence of the Keep” buff that is also generally on at least one of your keeps. I usually have 25 supply with me, yes you’ll have to run to get more supply for any siege though. Guild Catapults used to only cost 25 until ANet messed that up for those of us who like to run around solo some times.

What server are you playing on? Want to see how 2 of my builds would work against yours.

I’m on Borlis Pass/Fort Aspenwood. But you and anyone else is welcome to 1v1 me in my guild hall arena as well.

I don’t really consider myself much of an expert Revenant, but I generally can win a duel unless it is against someone playing condi. Condi is really what hurts rev the most.

Meh, North America. Bet you also have troubles against good warrior since no retribution traitline

I don’t fight warrior too often, they’re few and far between in NA. Since Gunflame nerf, they’re almost non existent for roaming unless they’re running condi now. I haven’t personally ran in to any that I couldn’t beat in a 1v1 unless they were condi, but like I said, not often you run in to one in general now.

(By the way I’m the same person (Josh XT.6053), using my alt account because for some reason there is a 300 second flood control on my other account…)

Hypothetically Speaking... New Worlds?

in WvW

Posted by: XTR.9604

XTR.9604

Fairly regularly, I see posts that say something to the effect of:

“The world that most of our guild is on is Full, so we’ve been having our new/returning guild members transfer to the Guest world, but what will happen if the Guest world gets relinked? Will we have to pay to transfer all those members again?”

This solution would give guilds like that an opportunity to freely reform on a world with plenty of space for their entire guild.

Now of course it’s still entirely possible that guilds won’t actually be willing to transfer off their current worlds, even for the opportunity to get all of their members onto the same world. However, that’s exactly why I made this post, just to confirm either case.

The problem with the logic is simple. I want to be in a higher population server because that means more fights. I really enjoyed being on Blackgate before the worlds were linked and ET stacked BG up with transfers in. Ultimately it caused me to leave Blackgate, a server I enjoyed being on because of the queues. Now I am all for the server linking system, I just don’t think T1 should have been linked is all.

I understand that those new servers would likely be linked with some other servers, which is fine, but I don’t know that anyone will really want to pick their guild up and leave a server they’ve established relationships with other guilds on because of a free transfer either.

Fresh 80. How to gear up quickly for WvW?

in Thief

Posted by: XTR.9604

XTR.9604

The build’s worthless, it doesn’t kill anyone who’s not a complete idiot because they can simply walk away from your source of damage and there won’t be anything you can do about it.
Also, the OP clearly stated to be looking for a power build.

I’ve killed plenty of people on it lol. If he is new to thief, that build is pretty easy to play, tanky enough to survive and its not like he will be skilled right out the gate on a class that usually gets 2 shotted by most people if played full zerk.

Don’t advertise your own website like this, go delve into proper SEO tools if you want more traffic your way.

I’m just showing people builds, traffic doesn’t matter. It is a good location to see builds that I’ve played and worked for me. I don’t have a huge stream following, but those who do watch my stream also ask me for my builds frequently, which is why I made the site to begin with lol.

Best setup for roaming?

Posted by: XTR.9604

This build for WvW roaming is great: http://asphyxia.tv/wvw-roaming-revenant-build/

Marauder/Zerk is not necessary, it is better to go with a mix of Valkyrie, Cavalier and some zerk currently since you get 40% crit right off the bat from Fury.

I love this build for roaming, it has been a ton of fun to play and is incredibly strong.

And I know you’re mad at me for “plugging” my page from your other post – but it is a good build and it isn’t my stream, its a web site with builds on it lol.

Please make jalis hammer work when it hits terrain/wall. If it’s too hard to code it, why not just make it an AOE pulse.

Please make all legends usable in water.

Please buff ventari and shiro. Especially phase traversal, I think the last nerf is too much.

That’s all I want for revenant.

Apparently, hitting walls and objects is supposed to make the hammers disappear. However hitting terrain is a bug.

Give us a way to not be facerolled by condi players without giving up all our damage…

Generosity sigil, staff 4, condi clear on legend swap, dwarf heal, durability runes, enough vitality to soak up the damage.

http://asphyxia.tv/wvw-roaming-revenant-build/

That’s a lot of sacrificing just for condi cleanse.

I think the biggest sacrifice is running dwarf instead of assassins. I don’t run durability runes personally, I’m fine running Scrapper runes on mine. I run assassins for roaming but Dwarf for larger group play. I’m fine with running Generosity sigil personally as well.

I’m still trying to decide if I want to replace my Traveler’s Runes with something else. I know, I know: “TRs?!!? What are you thinking!?” I actually use all 5 Legends, and sometimes Glint isn’t one of them, so no reliable source of speed. That’s why I’ve stuck with it for this long. Lately, I’m thinking of replacing them with Leadership, Durability, or Scrappers. That 6th slot are those 3 are just so attractive!

I’d definitely drop trav runes on Rev. Glint is pretty much a must in my opinion, so there is really no real need for them. I’ve played around briefly with all of the legends and the only ones I really liked for WvW are Glint, Assassins and Dwarf.

Not to shoot it down or anything, but we already have a lot of low population servers that no one wants to transfer to.

What prompts this idea when we have T7 and T8 servers that are nearly dead on their own in NA that was part of what prompted the linking?

World Linking Feedback [merged]

in WvW

Posted by: XTR.9604

XTR.9604

While I understand your frustration because its like the whole game mode just changed for you, the majority wanted this. As it currently stands, 77% of people who have voted said they wanted to keep the server links. I don’t think this should mean that the minority are completely ignored in what they want, but I don’t see them having many options when the results of the poll are so over whelming.

I’ve personally been in each of the tiers more than once per tier because my guild and I have transferred around a lot to find where the best roaming fights were. By that, I mean most frequent fights and good fights. So my experience is going to differ from yours because I love the server linking personally.

Being as you’re on FC, you’re still in the bottom tier that is the least populated as it currently stands. FC and Darkhaven are paired at the lowest rank even currently. It seems like that is probably as close as its going to get for lower populated servers.

In my experience, in my time in T7 and T8 when Borlis Pass was there (not way too long ago), it was boring for me. I would run around for a long period of time without finding any fights, all I could really accomplish was PPT fighting doors for hours, it was pretty dull.

I understand that might be exciting to some people (not sure why), but if that is what you enjoy, you should try PvE land out more. I’m not saying that to be mean, but if you’re just running around taking camps and towers, you can do essentially the same thing in PvE with events and its just as rewarding if not more rewarding.

A lot of people who do WvW enjoy it because of the fights, T7/T8 was greatly lacking in the fights department which is why the servers were nearly ghost towns at most times. If you don’t want fights, maybe WvW is not the right game mode for you. I’m not saying to quit, I’m not trying to be mean – I am just pointing out what polls like the current one are proving, that the majority of WvW players want to be with higher populations.
