What kind of nonsense am I hearing here? Fresh air/Ele countering warriors? and people seriously making arguments for this? Jesus christ. Do you not realize that warrior still procs adrenal health on scorched earth and combustive shot. Yes fresh Air ele is not kitten. But don’t spread misinformation about how ele supposedly counters warriors and is gods gift to the world. Yes I can also beat warriors if I massively outskill them. that counts for every kittening build made no matter how good or bad they are.

Warrior has better condi managment then ele, that is a fact!! resistance on healing signet+berserker stance+cleanse on weapon swap+cleansing ire. It also has 19 k base health for crying out loud..

Warrior has better defence against direct damage. heavy armour stats, double endure pain, shield stance, block on mace 2, whirling blade for disenage+evade, stability on stunbreaks tnaks to etenal champion and simply pulsing stability, +dead or alive

DPS is higher. generally speaking for both condi and power builds. is generally higher. Ragezerker can do without the primal bursts from skullcracker and flaming furry, for example
GS/Mace burst, practically has his own version of lightning strike on his kittenign sigils . Heck u can do 2 k auto attacks on mace roughly or higher. doesn’t also help that primal burst have a 3 sec cd either. Heck because of that fact u can argue that even macebow has higher dps then fresh air ele(debatbale) thanx to skullgrinder.

No need to spread lies. Just because one can beat an fresh air ele on warrior. Doesn’t mean that the build counters warrior, If u have to far, and far outskill your opponent to be of win, doesn’t mean that the build is better in the grand scheme of things, U’d think that a fresh air that can beat a warrior or no rather counters a warrior would be higher on the foodchain and seen more light in last season.

When u hear stories of gold tier 3 players bieng matched up with legendary duo queus some even bieng esl players. then this is a problem that deserves to be adressed and critisiced. U OP shouldn’t condone such imbalanced matches. Just because players do not want to get farmed by duo queu legendaries, doesn’t mean that they are wusses that do not wish to be challenged? What is wrong with having an league in which u progress and then progressively the stakes get higher. U do realise that bieng challenged is dependent on who u fight and what your relative skill level is OP? A high tier bronze player might feel as if he’s challenging an awsome Silver tier 1 god etc.

This is a gross generalisation on your part OP.

edit: ofcourse one shouldn’t afk ever.

Adrenal Health Must Be Toned Down

in Warrior

no way man. Healing power contribution as the sole solution would kill power builds if u decided to drastically reduced the base healing. It’d outright kill power builds and the only viable builds u would see are sage amulet condi warriors and carrion hybrid but then with sage amulet condi build Because there is no amulet with healing power that could support any potential power build without any ferocity and crit chance lower then 50 percent. U’d be hitting like a wed noodle Heck u can’t even have a base crit chance of 33.33 percent without using fury.

Sage amulet Mace Bow
Sage Amulet Carrion Hybrid
Sage amulet Ragezerker

And now that we have sage amulet builds with an either stronger adrenal health we will see the forums kittening about how condi warriors are even more broken.

So u either give it another slight nerf. Or u give it a huge nerf and increase healing power contribution and u will see only condi builds using sage amulet. depending on the healing power contibrution sage amulet could be overepresented and u might just make macebow stronger.

Btw I don’t even think Adrenal health needs a single ounce of nerfing given u have scrappers bieng even tankier or just as tanky at the very least then warriors without healing power either, If we gonna nerf warrior because of lack of healing power. then how bout we take scrappers with us? scrappers bieng faster, having the ability to reset fightsm having protection, swiftness and regen? Can we do that?

Honestly when almost every build has lots of sustain, with scrapper bieng in the exact same boat or maby even worse. What is thier to complain about? How is that a druid with no ferocity and not even 50 precision can still hit so hard while providing AOE healing, mobility for decaps and ress ability? It’s not as if druid who supposedly sacrifices offence for defence and support is lacking in the dps. Heck scrapper might even be tankier then warrior straight up plus it can rez and has no healing power either.

I don’t get it why people Always try to single out classes while u could make the same argument for almost all even DH(symbolic) with the exception of necro, thief and Revenant.

This is not a warrior thing. Heck the only class that sacifices dps or healing for the other is tempest. If u go healing u lose dps, If u go dps u got almost no sustain.

What is with this kittening bullkitten: Now you know how it feels. What kind of reasoning is this? U don’t justify nerfs out of kittening spite. Heck I play ele as well. Yes even i get kittening kittened of when I fight a mace bow warrior on fresh air tempest or some dps tempest. And almost kittening die when i get hit once or twice by a condi burst. If not waste all my kittening cooldowns on cleansing conditions, sacrifice sustain against power damage by running ether renewal Or either run water traitline and swap harmonois conduit for invorgating torrents which makes it super hard to pull of an overload. And then have practically no defences against the current incarnation of power warrior, even nerfed herald or thief. Because u cannot have a fresh air tempest/dps tempest with the sustain against both powerr damage and condi damage like most current power builds. Because thier armour is kittenedly low and thier hp is also kittenedly low.

We don’t have that privelege. But this is not the way to go.

Sorry I wholeheartedly disagree. Sombody who should be silver and is stuck in bronze belongs there as he is not better then the player in said division worth thier division. If he meets equally skilled players in both his team and his enemy team and isn’t playing better then he stays there. However somebody who is silver and has a team full of just absolute potatoes like in the video and he loses then it doesn’t mean that he belongs there. The video shows it itself. absolutely horrendous gameplay and so many times where the game could have been thrown. Remember that the average mmr is around 1200. In this league u will find a mix of players who are average around the 1200 mark and that is where most players will be centered. those players u will also see starting in bronze. Somebody belongs in bronze if loses games with just absolute potatoes and teams that are actuall consisting of players Climbing to silver. that is a bronze tier player . Bassically a winrate that is 50 percent consistently there.

winning 1 v 2’s and bieng average is not something that often comes around and in no way is the norm. that is incredibly rare and that point one should wonder if your mechanical skill isn’t simply beyond the average joe. not bieng able to 1 v 2 in bronze doesn’t disqualify from bieng worth silver at all. Some averages have basic map awaraness but are better speaking mechanilly speaking etc. An average joe still has place for plenty of improvement. to ask them to carry potatoes, A task that can be incredibly complex and difficult going by this vid makes no sense.

Why do u think the matchmaker tries to create equally balanced teams that match your skill rating? Because the norm is not to carry your way in with potatoes each and every match through a division. The carry or bust thing makes no sense.

this is me not saying that elo hell exist or anything. If your winrate is 50 percent consistently or u lose the entire time then u are likely to belong there cause not all matches are carry matches as shown on the forums where some matches were lost with les then 150 points difference.

You’ve seen the people in bronze, they are absurdly terrible and these potatoes on your team are likely to be on the other team. If you can’t achieve more than a 50% win rate vs potatoes then you are a potato. I mean they were even stood in the middle of the map having a blooming dance party because it never occured to them what the fluff they should do.

To be clear, people in bronze generally don’t understand skills, blocks, dodges, rotations or anything of the like, it’s been shown on videos and if you cannot win 1v2 against people who mash buttons in no particular order well you are not worthy of progressing. Warrior absolutely destroys people like that, if you have trouble in bronze pick up a warrior and carry like a pack mule on steroids, you’ll be roflstomping them.

Silver you may have to think about what you do and your team but anyone who is mechanically decent with a carry class should progress even slowly. I’m looking forward to seeing what silver is like on stream.

Bronze has terible players and it’s also an mix and mash of Climbing players. both teams are bad and yet u can lose even with a pro league player bieng practically omnipresent. get into high bronze and u get closer to the 1000 and above mark. Not bieng able to carry a team of potatoes simply doesn’t equal bieng a potatoe. bieng a potatoe works both negatively and positively. they are different tiers of players even in bronze and low silver. they may not be as decent as a solid silver to gold player but having a division full of potatoes that reaches well into the tousand up to silver. I wouldn’t make that generalisation yet.

however it doesn’t seem we will agree on this anytime soon. So I’d rather agree to disagree then continue this further.

You’re right Xanctus, it doesn’t scale linearly. It scales gaussian-ly.

Hmm. U talking about the distribution of players in these season?

The distribution of players is by skill rating, so yeah

aight.

So what do u think of me saying the average player not bieng well rounded enough to carry all bad matches but some?

Well by definition the average player would be around 1000- 1200 Mmr which is High Bronze to Low Silver…

Ah yeah that makes sense. 1000 to 1200 is high bronze to mid silver.

Then it would make sense tough for said averages to have trouble carrying bad teams at times. Not saying that elo hell is a fact but I can understand part of thier pain.

You’re missing a very key aspect of the entire season:

Rating affects nothing

Well it’s not completely true but your ability to get rewards, complete the backpack etc etc are not affected much by where you are rated.

The average person with a rating of 1000-1200 is in bronze and silver because that is where they belong and they would have loss after loss after loss against better players. Getting better at the game is hard but it’s worth it in the end and as you get better you will win every 1v1 and 1v2 in bronze, even silver I dare say. It’s unlikely to happen over a season but you might see people drifting up in rating eventually.

I’m not disputing that they belong there. I’m definately against the notion that an average player should carry just everybody and thier mother on thier way to thier rightfull place be it high bronze or mid silver or any division for that matter. If said losses simply because they get outskilled then that is on them rightly so. Not everybody thinks they should belong in platinum or legendary. But having good matches is also a complaint.

This all depends on where you are on rating and where you should be, if you think you should be good and are in bronze you should win at least 2/3rds of your matches pushing you into silver. It might take more time to go to gold but you should have a higher win ratio of you truly are better than the people in your division.

If you’re not capable of performing better than average in your games then you are not better than your rating.

Excatly it depends on the rating and where u should be. If u are not better then your average then yes u belong there. If u get matched with absolute kittenty players then even if u are worth silver or high bronze then yes I believe that carrying becomes incredibly hard. U saw it with helseth yourself. both teams were absolutely kittenty yet helseth’s team throwed the game at so many occasions. And helseth responded by doing everything his team should do it didn’t matter that both teams were kitten at all. the whole ‘’U are the only constant factor in game’’ argument simply doesn’t work. take an average player with varrying skill levels in certain aspects of the game. He’s not going to be everywhere like helseth or even a good player. And in no way means that u aren’t significantly better then those clowns. The ability to carry a game is not equal with your skill level. Carrying a kittenty team requires extra amount of effort in almost all areas of the game.

Then what also contributes to said losing streaks. Is after then losing a game due to your team either making a potentially more terrible play then the other terrible team. U then fight an team of equal strength and boom u lose legimately. Well that’s still 2 loses. It’s why in certain people showing thier losing streaks u see certain matches that are quite close. And if those matches are close then it’s likely that those matches weren’t that terrible.

However even after all that. Do I think that elo hell exists? no not quite, Because the norm isn’s kittenty matchmaking based on all those losing streaks shown. Rather matches that could be won or lost either way are then mixed in with matches that are uncarryable either due to the average player (not having the skills to carry a certain matchup with kittenty player) more ofthen it it should be. So yes u will see people eventually climb to where they belon with an actual risk of it becoming a grindfest.

This ‘’you are the only constant factor argument’’ would only work if the skill difference between a noob or newbie and an average joe was linear in all aspects. but yeah somebody having a rating of 1200 and the other one having a rating of 800. Doesn’t mean that the guy is 1.5 times the 800 rating. It doesn’t mean that he will nessiarily 1 v 1.5 said 800 rating player. players that have a rating of 1950 aren’t litterally 0.9(roughly speaking) helseth right? Still a reasonable big chance helseth can still punk people who are supposedly 0.9 helseth right? Wow a division full of helseth clones.

This isn’t some kind of foqing Dragonball Z. MMR is not literall foqing powerlevel of said player that only applies to the good and pro leaguers. Only helseth’s powerlevel is over 9000..

Carry potential=/=rating.

Xanctus The Dragonslayer.2318

I agree with malediktus a little bit. Helseth is good, incredibly foqing good. But this match was absolutely a foqing clusterfoq. Both teams were god foqing terrible. And even with helseth doing 1 v 2’s somettimes even 1 v 3’s his team that played against another terrible team still found a way to almost throw the game. the score was close as foq for the effort helseth put into it. Helseth was Multi tasking. He was 1 v x ing, He was typing in team chat, he rotated through portal plays, he aided in teamfights, Helseth was practically a 1 man army and even with that effort he still almost friggin lost.‘’ He was the supposed constant factor’’ against 9 other players. Yet he almost lost due to clear Obvious missplays on his teams end.

The thing is, taking such a strict linear approach to such a complex game is not a good thing here. Clearly if u climb divisions it logically means u are better then the people u play with. Clearly however that is only relative to people actually worth said division. So yes if u can’t carry games with 9 players actually worth thier thier division then yes then it means u belong there. Because in order to progress u need to be better. Not massivel better but better. And this is where the problem lies. If u aren’t some kind of special player worth god’s gift to the world then your skill level really means jack foqing kitten when thrown with players of these levels. What people forget is players that relatively average aren’t actually master every aspect of the game like lord helseth who was practically everywhere. He was easily worh 3 players of said team in terms of combined effort on the game andI’m saying 3 players because the only thing that prevented him from bieng a 5 man army is him not attaining temporarly omnipresence in the game,He still needed deadweight fodder to stand on a point.. An average player that is maby high silver or low gold level has varrying strenth’s or weaknesses. Maby said average player has decent map awarness and only the skill level to comfortably win the 1 v 1’s against any of those terrible players. well if your team is so terrible that they simply get fed against another terrible team that is a bit less teribble in teamfights and 1 v 1’s but has generally speaking worse map awarness. then regardless of u staying alive and trying to decap far/close or attempting to regroup after a wipe and go for outnumberd fights. It still won’t matter kitten if u get 1 point every 2 seconds vs the other terible team getting 5 foqing points per kill instantly. U can be an average player that has a noticably better winrate without having all your stats linearly scale as more powerfull. And without evenly distributed expertise in the needed areas to win a game, carry potential actualy becomes less effective. The ability to carry doesn’t scale linearly with your rating. Because if u want to carry u often need to perform better in more then 1 area. Because this is a team game and because the effort of the team counts way more,then your individual skill level as an average players is effectievely worthless and even discardable.. Why do u u think helseth was a 1 man army rather then 1 man soloing an army? He tried that and still almost lost. And this won’t take away from the fact that an average player wouldn’t just completely kitten on any of those clowns in 1 v 1’’s. Or make less rotational mistakes. The thing is average players carry potential is only meaningfull when the players he plays with are worth the division they are in. However since the average player does have certain attributes in which he can carry a bit with maby he’’s a quote on quote good teamfighter relatively speaking. then yes he wil eventually come across players that are terrible rotation wise. But he can carry in the fights. A carry only works if u are good enough in a certain aspect of the game to make a noticable difference. Some people complain about thier entire team getting wiped and then them dying the last. well technically they are already showing a bit of that carry potential by making the enemy team spend more time to kill them however this is discardable. Some mistakes can be fixed others cannot be fixed even with both kittenty teams add in snowball effects and it simply becomes another game between kittenty teams.

Cake is trash. ofcourse i can organize a roaming/havoc squad and kitten up large havoc pug squads to small zergs which outnumber us 1:2 at least. Ofcourse whenever Cake trash fails and they ’’don’t upload it’’ it means they are just a bunch of average meta human female neckbeard perverts who can’t even find thier daggers, yes daggers. Because that is exactly what average players are supposed to do right? Be of any use against other average players but then outnumbered. That makes so much sense. Also they are such kitten for not solo roaming. who kittening cares about a reasonable chance of getting ganked by large havoc squads and small zergs around every corner. clearly they are kittening trash average pugs who can still somehow score wins in fights with the odds stacked against them. check that they are also only slightly better then average. Heck I beat the entirity of cake on my own while upleveled, naked. No check that, I beat them barehanded. No check that. I destroyed cake without even bieng there. No check that. I destroyed cake before I even was born. Heck kitten Vaans bieng in the eu top 250 pvp leaderboard. He’s like tottally an average pug that clearly got Lucky in 100 percent of his matches.

Evan lawyerd the OP. kitten lmao. Gotta respect him for that atleast.

Actually, I don’t respect him for that.

See, if we could analyse Evan’s work, code and decisions in detail such as Evan did the OP’s, then I am 100% sure we’d also be able to trash his decisions.

So, using Evan’s power to access to the OP’s personal data in order to reply in such a…condescending/patronizing way is nothing to bask in. Imo.

I’d aplaud Evan if he analysed his own decisions like that or better yet, if he gave us all the data concerning his decisions, coding and stuff, so that we could be as….thorough as he was about the OP.

Or if Evan would admit there are (plenty of) issues with the MMR, the matchmaking and the classes.
Because from the way he posts, he comes across as a “better-than-thou” guy.

Ofcourse a developer is not gonna just spread all of his decisions all of his data to you. that makes no sense. Why would a developer release such important information on a medium that is accesible by litterally anybody in the modern world including rival companies or those with ill will. That is the dumbest thing u can do. Evan kindly released the facts. He even acknowledged that this is frustration likely and that no ill will was meant behind the op’s reasoning. He also acknowledged the thiefs relatively high skill floor as a possible reason. the thing is we don’t need people spreading lies and even further damage this game’s pvp reputation.

Burn DH aren’t running traps.^ it’s still ji pf. You push it into higher tiers by going further than the 11 stacks you mentioned. Get good at it and push for 25 instant kill.

yeah i know. and still any competent player will have no trouble cleansing a single conditions generally speaking. 25 stacks of burns are very uncommon. It’s not the norm. Higher tier people know how to deal with a single condition. burn dh is a mere gimmick build at that level.

DH is still better then burn guard by far. the problem is that core burn guard’s own skill floor isn’t that massively high compared to Dragonhunter. harder to use but not so hard that u need to massively outskill a DH player on lower levels.. DH is still easier to use but the core problem(yes pun intended) is that two noob players with one bieng core burn guard and the other one bieng DH is. That a noob dh will not have found the way to deal with conditions as effectily as a decent DH who is medi trapper as opposed to trapper dh. the playstyle of a noob DH is very static. and often it results in them dropping fragments of faith+ Dragonsmaw and procession of blades while standing on point, hoping for u to die. this counts in a lot of attacks that can be blocked procing amplied wrath+eventualy rune of the guardian. then they find themselves suddenly with 11 burn stacks and drop like flies. Newer players will generally have more problems with condi management due to how diverse condis are.

The moment both guardian players get better. U will see that medi trapper’s effectivness increases while that of burn guard loses effectivness relative to that of DH. DH will have more AOE pressure, better options for CC and ranged pressure, heck even better and slightly better mobility options. more sustain. While burn guard will continue to be reduced to a gimmick build the tougher the competion gets because then u will have people capable of condi managment and then u will notice the lack of cover conditions, this is talking about the general core burn guard. they are many variations of burn guardian/burn DH currently as the build is still in development in a sense since the recent buff. However most burn guards will come across the same problem.

my two cents on tihs matter.

The Star Cross Knights[ILLU] is casual WvW/PvP looking for a player willing to take the role of Vice Guildmaster from Piken Square. TS3,Guild Arena, PvP server unlocked. Whisper/PM for info.!

The Starcross Knights is a small casual WvW and PvP Guild situated at Piken Square that is 31 members small . We do PvP ranked/unranked in duo queu or bigger groups at our Leisure and roam with a 5 man group or bigger at the borderlands u can say that we do both pvp and wvw roughly 2 to 3 times a week as an organized group generally speaking. We teach new pvp players the basics of the game and said classes they have interest in. However as stated before. We are a casual guild. So all members aside from myself and vice guild master who is on a hiatus right now, can decide themselves when to play. We only encourage you . But in the end the choice is yours. For that reason repping is not required either.

Recently with my Vice Lead on a temporarily leave I find myself in a bit of a pickle dividing my time between the veterans and new players that are all in need of guidance, compassion and time to get interested in the world of PvP and WvW. And I could indeed use some help regulating the guild, maby even learn a few things or two.

So what do we require from you?

>Be from Piken Square
>Is patient enough to work with and guide new players into PvP as well as WvW
>Is online atleast 3 times a week at nighttime prefferably 6pm-11pm(gmt+1)

Bruiser Guard

Xanctus The Dragonslayer.2318

try this

http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Dragonhunter_-_Symbolic

but then use the menders amulet version.

The supportive version of the Symbolic Guardian is probably the best definition of bruiser so far. A Burn build would probably be second.

Guess it’s time to mix and match gear to find a similar stat combination as menders then.

I’d also like to add , that adding runes of the defender gives guardians with mender esque stats incredible sustain. Not mandatory but a very, nice option for bruiser guard.

If not, what are the problems DH will face, that make it a bad idea?

Which professions should I play in season 5?

hmm i can’t quote your post anymore hisaki.

Anyways. no those people weren’t randoms. the footage was of an NA pro league level player using warrior. surviving 1 v 2 and then downing olrun. matter of fact remains that anybody with an high enough skill level can yes do 1 v X succesfully. the point of this vid is. that u don’t just 1 v X on dh’s and then call it op. the moment u do that u either far outskill your opponents or your opponents are far below u.

normal guys that get 1 v x on dragonhunters blow right through thier cooldowns and get stunlocked to death.

And yes I know how to play medi trapper. btw renewed focus is chosen more often over dragonsmaw.

and DH still carries better then druid? btw u seem to be under the impression that somehow having a strong class in the more traditional sense of the word outweighs the versartily other types of builds can bring. it simply makes no sense. what will u do if your teammates get stomped at mid? hit them harder? what if your opponents team has an competent mesmer and or thief capable of using portal/ +1 rotations? Will u with your slow movement speed? and keep in mind we are discussing carrying here. so your teammates are for all intents and purposes weaker then your opponents team in general. so the thief can pick em apart easily. Hitting harder won’t work and if u try to counter rotate u couldn’t as your dh is one of the slowest classes in terms of movement speed.

DH as a class by itself gives you the biggest advantage to win, you just need to know how to play Meta DH. Even a 5 Trap zerker DH has a better chance of winning against any class “On Comparable Skill”.

Compare this to lets say Power Rev, it’s easily countered by Condi’s, Thieves, other Rev’s, DH, Chrono’s etc.

or Auramancer Ele, which literally is a walking free kill. You just autoattack it to death.

This is just a load of nonsense. DH’s are countered by tempest. Why in the world would u outright lie to the OP? Medi trappers have kittenty mobility, they offer no group support other then the few boons they dish out. thier dps is mostly shared between longbow and trap. longbows which can be hardcounterd by area denial and anybody who knows how to dodge, use stability, invulnerability, teleport, evade etc.

U are litterally telling me that auramancer elementalsit is a free kill? U are telling me that auramancer with 40 percent damage reduction through protection and heals+regens on auras is a free kill on auto attack? u think pro teams would use a class that can litterally die to an auto attack?

U are telling me that a slow class with almost no group support. with abilities that can be negated to projectile denial. Is better then a class with mobility? offers support through regen, swiftness and aoe healing? can actually ress allies, has moderate dps and a reliable burst on bristeback every 20 seconds? U are telling me that a dragonhunter somehow is better carrier then a class that is so versartile? U are telling me that the OP will be able to somehow have the answers to downed allies, allies low on health, will be able cleanse conditions, has the mobility to disenage. Yet somehow medi trapper is better class to carry?

You obviously have never fought a Meta DH that can literally solo 3 ppl in Legend Div or even attempted to use a meta DH build and play around it to see how powerful it is. DH mains will never tell you that, because they don’t want the nerf.

this is such an exagaration, such an unlikely scenario. that bringing it up almost constitutes as a lie. Yes u have people like kitten that can do these amazing 1 v X feats on their meditrapper. But same can be said for any insert……….(top tier level and or ESL level player on a meta/great build that is not outright support) Heck tarcis on his warrior 1 v 2’ed and got a kill on olrun at pro league level.

medi trapper does not compare as a carry class .it’s not even just about how strong it is. U do not carry people solely with dps or aoe dps. Having a more balanced versartile class that heals+supports+moderate damage and mobility to actually quickly cap or contest points is better then a class that does big boom.

The goal with carrying is to actually play the game to such a level that u with your efforts can allow lesser skilled players to ride on your back.

If your team is bad..you have no hopes on ele, it’s not a class you can carry with; you can heal people as much as you want..if they can’t dodge, kite ect ect..you’ll die very easily on ele. With the current matchmaking system having teammates that can’t use skills accordingly …it’s common.

Ele is used at ESL level because there…you have a kittening team with bloody good players that don’t help from above to stay alive more than 5s

Ofcourse u can carry with ele. What is this? tons of projetile denial, protection with increased effectinvess, healing on auras condi cleanse.. U can ress with obsedian flesh if u want to. Ele is good at both esl level and solo que. this ele is not good bandwagon is getting old. How can u not carry with an class that offers the group solid passive sustain? cleanses conditions on allies consistently, offers regenration and protection, offers auras with varrying effects such as projectile destruction reflect etc.

eles are still good. eles bieng used at the esl level means it’s used at the highest level possible. it needs to be viable before it’s even brought there.

Ok..you play ele..I stick with others, hope to meet you so that i can see you carrying your team

fair enough i guess.

don’t play DH. Support classes can carry way better then a kittening kittenty Dragonhunter don’t kittening listen to them OP.lmao. Dragonhunters for the most of it are either kitten or mediocore. U need a class capable of dealing moderate susained damage with a reliable burst every 20 seconds+ aoe heals and a bit of support through boons. Druid. Or u go tempest and if u get decent u can still hold a point againt 2 players easily.

Not sure why anybody would suggest dragonhunter for carrying, espically trapper dragonhunter when u have a kittening class with the ability to actually ress players through cleave. SMH.

Posted by: Xanctus The Dragonslayer.2318

Xanctus The Dragonslayer.2318

Tempest is great it simply has no other builds then the auramancer that can be used by the majority of players unless the player far outskills thier opponets. generally speaking the moment u try anything with palladins,or marauders amulets. the ele’s design will show how Reliant it is on healing power and thus amulets indirectly. as it lacks, evades, blocks, invulnerability reliable stunbreaks. The lack of healing power also makes it incredibly weak against conditions due to the lack of small burst heals and passive sustain on account of lack of healing power and base value healing decreased by certain tempest traitline nerfs. Tempest get’s his high sustain from heals but yeah if u run marauder amulet or palladins, say bye bye to a good chunk of sustain not even the signet passive heal per cast can compensate for. so how do u solve these condis? U can run water at the cost of reduced protection application with like 1888 armour? all for some mediocore damage. Another way is running full shouts and earrth traitline for the protection and then use ether renewal with that almost 3 sec cast time. ROTFLMAO XD. all this sacrifice for dps with the only real dps on pair with hot specs bieng the overload air. Also remember still no healing power Even then I wouldn’t call them kitten. Hard to use.

Posted by: Xanctus The Dragonslayer.2318

Xanctus The Dragonslayer.2318

The meme in combination with the OP is why balance should never be based on the majoritty or average joes of the pvp community. This entire meme pic make no sense whatsoever. the fact that the the phrase;; GW2 is a point fight game’’ is used as justification for dh trapper bieng op shows the lack of understanding of the class.

As if u are just forced to fight perma on point the entire time. as if u can’t just dodge, go out of LOS, outrotate just to name a few.. As if the dragonhunter just bombards the point 24/7 with no opening whatsoever. and the medi trapper has only 1 offensive traps maby 2 if u include dragonsmaw for a bit hit against thier sustain the fact that the op says that trapper loses to no class whatsoever shows exactly that. Yet at that same u have people disagreeing here. which make sense if include the ‘’majority of the playerbase, u will have tons of varrying opinons. But having varrying opinons isn’t bad per se. what makes it bad is that they still improve. and those newer players become decent or better and will completely change thier stance while the damage has already been done and thus the cycle repeats itself. Those players who now know how to fight dragonhunters will now be the one that argue that the class isn’t as bad. Big generalisations of a class and alike is what hurts the game. What is needed is a better initative not just from ESL players or good players that itchiwen suggested which is a good thing. No rather the developers need to create ample tutorioals and not just hide behind,metabattle,qqmore,youtube and twitch. those outdated npc’s need to be gone. u’d be better dropping them all behind rocks. Because people go in figthing a normal meditation guardian then get nuked on point by a completely different build the only thing in common bieng the guardian icon. having initatives like itchiwn proposes in combination with some actuall help would close the gap between the several tiers of players within the community. even if the majority is still average. U can atleast Ensure that the basics are known to everybody. Heck and it’s not that I understand at all. I in return have a class where i struggle against generally a bit. that is. Revenant. But i’m not going to call for nerfs because i lose.

This is not the way to go.

Should ESL be a reference for balance?

in PvP

Posted by: Xanctus The Dragonslayer.2318

Xanctus The Dragonslayer.2318

I agree with k-daddy.

Yes it’s true that even with the inclusion of pro leaguers u simply can’t know everything as even thier u will see teams improve, learn new tactics apply different strategies. But even then it should the pro leaguers that should the game be balanced around. not knowing everything doesn’t mean that they are all of a sudden unqualified to be the standard as u can actually quantify to some extend a noticable difference between a pro leaguer and an average joe between is MMR, games played, win/rate. Effectiveness of builds recieved by the community when done by a pro leaguer and an average joe making a build on metabattle. meta is what the pro leaguers run. Also aside from stats. U can just make the flat out simple compairsion and just have an pro leaguer play vs an average joe and see how it pans out.

It simply makes sense to balance a class around players who know the class inside out and use it at the highest level of play to see where a class shines and has troubles in. as variables such as astronomical differences in skill between players, co-ordinated teams vs unoncordinated teams, disconnects, salty players,afkers. I mean just look at some threads where blatant misinformation is spread, let alone disagreements, just misinformation bieng spread. when u have to debate what a skill does before u even discuss balance clearly shows the difference.

OP is right. Eles are in a good spot. in pro league u can use ele for countercomp so it still has it use there even if it’s not the as good as it was before. However what it suffers from is build diversity. In ranked and unranked u can still use scepter focus fresh air. and certai power/bruiser esque tempests for a dps role. And while these builds have a higher skill requirement. the DPS is simply lacking compared to other classes that deal damage and or condition damage. So yes u can be a contributive power tempest/ele player if u far outskill your opponents. it doesn’t make them bad builds it definately makes them unplayable on anything beyond amber/emerald/unranked to the majority of players.

all members need to concede. that is the only way I will accept a concede mechanic in the game. Also I hope a-net finds a way to actually properly tally reports of match manipulation since this opens the possibility of the enemy team attempting to bribe the opposing team in conceding.

I tend to agree with k-daddy. Conceding is something that should be implemented if truly everything fails a-net can do to fix matchmaking.

Itchiwen please take responsibility for once in the time u played the game. We all shared the same burden at one point in our lives when playing gw2, take this from an average joe who also get his face kittenstomped at times. U already explained what compromising situations u are in. Do not run away from it, accept it. And adjust your playstyle to it or move on. For somebody who ask for everybody else to empathise with you which we do. Why do u constantly fail to show the same empathy to others? They are all enemies, thief players who laugh at how ‘’misreable u are’’.

For most thiefs except the good ones thier role is soley reduced to +1 and decap. they are dogs to go fetch ball whenever thier owners Druid or Tempest tells them to.

possible solutions

>Play an easier to play class/build that is tanky given your hand, that doesn’t require much mobility and can dish out decent amounts of damage like an Macebow or Druid.

>Go on teamspeak and play in team in unranked using voice chat. Don’t worry about how it would impact your skills if u solo qued. I believe u need a completely different way of playing the game that fits your current state of mind. taking any extra challenges in order to improve simply isn’t going to work with how u view everything else and quitting the game is not something u will do anytime soon.

>Go to qqmore and practice everything else that is not related to finger dexterity like rotations and positioning, Simple kiting jumping spots. Maby u actually have the potential to actually be a teamcaptain and guide your team instead of bieng a duelist. With the current mentality u have I honestly think that u should be a casual player in the most basic sense of the word. U do not have the personality to be a competetive player which is completely fine. nothing wrong with that. But the hard truth is that u simply need a thick skin.

> Also if season 5 still has leagues as we are used to or similar to. And u still decide solo/duo que without anybody to carry u. Please do not go beyond saphire league. or the equivelant of it unless u change your mentality.

If I offended u in any way i apologize. It’s not my intent to do so.
