that is not forced into ranged weapons to be competitive ?
il hope so
im sick of bows and scepters and guns on melee classes.
Conquest meta?? Have you played it in any mode?? One thing is sure it might be only melee weapon but your utilities are probably not 10-30% melee. Range will always be present I don’t see why the hate, d/d is a “melee” set ele uses it… Rev is getting melee staff…
you know some people want to play a Melee class not a half ranged half melee
the sad thing is in this game you cant have pure melee because you dont have enought action bars for a melee class to place ALL that capclosers/mobility/Surviability skills a melee needs to be pure melee. you need to switch to a ranged weapon to get the other half of mobility and capclosers and even dmg a melee needs.
thank god Revenant changing that with legend swaping. Without breaking the immersion of playing a melee class.
You can play full melee in wvw as well as full ranged but in conquest it’s not recommended, what is a melee weapon to you?? Necro d/d has 4/5 skills ranged , mesmer GS has all skills ranged. Don’t be blinded by the physical aspect of the weapon, only reason that would work on rev is due to utility swap but those are not full melee neither are the weapons skills.
I can only see one full in conquest turret engi with hammer complete bunker decap also I run Hammer/GS in TDM with guard.
Edit: Where does it say war or guard are pure melee at the core? The same for ranger with range??
thats the prob people that want to play Pure melee CAN’T but people that want to play pure ranged CAN even if it has a realy minimal melee in it its not 50% of it. and they are meta.
There are no melee professions. And none of the professions are forced into ranged weapons. It just so happens that for a lot of builds, ranged weapons provide the best complement to melee weapons. Would you consider d/d elemenalist a melee build?
Don’t use sword #3 on guardian for damage. The DPS difference between guardian sword #3 and the auto-attack chain is negligible.
aaand thats my issue with this game.
elementalist is not the same he still uses Magic of the elements no matter of the weapon that’s what defines them
then comes a warrior and its prety much forced into a Bow yep nice melee there.
and againts good players guardian sword will get kited to oblivion.
i call this whole weapon switching system “The immersion breaking system”
Lol. You either have these and don’t want anyone else to, or you’re just ignorant to your peers. These are a rather cute item. Unfortunately, I never bought these back when they were in store for the pure fact they were town only. I’m not a fan of sitting around in town doing jack all. They were useless to me then and now they’re an armor skin, they are 100% useful to me and I want.
or stuff like these simply annoys the hell out of me in MMO’s
like that STUPID LEGENDARY Pony bow…………
seriously……………if i want to see stuff like these EVERYWHERE i would play one of the seriously lame korean mmo’s out there.

the enemy starts walking sideways and half of its burst misses or just run a bit farer and out of range. and if you have sword instead of scepter they will kite you forever while their regen keep them up. that 1 teleport on it wont help when they just teleport blink clone jump away….
i switched from scepter to sword focus buuuut againts good people they will kite you forever while you loose allot of dmg when you could just simply auto attack spam with scepter for 600+ dmg + burn while runing after them.
Because I never get tired of Bull’s Charge -> Hundred Blades insta-owning Thieves and squishies in WvW as a full zerk Warr. That and swapping to sword with intelligence sigil and pegging people for 8 – 12k with Final Thrust.
those are veeeeeeery bad players or not paying attention because of the WvW ZERG mentaility.
Medi guard now THAT have sustain. when i see a warrior that is not a Hammer/mace warrior i know its a freekill they can’t do kitten againts me….
Warriors are squishy as hell any burst class/build almost insta kills them lol
passive heals does not worth anything in this game nowdays when eles and thiefs just 7k spam your face and outheal you…..
-The game is build for helping each other not to troll each other
- The world is HUGE and BEAUTIFUL + the Art epic and unique
- No trinity = No freaken Broken Overpowered 1 man army Healers in PvP
- Most friendly community
- Devs might be slow but they actualy CARE about the players and what they want
Has much changed? Might be a vague question but I don’t want to get hit in the face with new stuff and be a complete scrub all over again :S
why you don’t want to feel a complete newb again in an MMO ? usualy thats the best and most fun part when things feel new and you need to relearn stuff.
have u never bought a game on steam and the next day they have a midweek madness sale with 75% off games you bought.
that’s something to cry over.
besides gw2 is a worthy investment that will give u years of content for a one of purchase. so relax.
could be worse. you could of belived the hype for Warlords of Dreanor only to find out that the team who made the expansion + new character models are just amatuers who couldn’t even get the models done properly even thou they had a team of over 250 ppl working on the expansion for like 2 years and being force with Siege of orgrimmar for 14 months.
yes I feel hurt by blizzard for what they have done.
oo and they added selfie camera to WoW which u can upload directly to twitter from ingame !!!
R.I.P WoW : (
sadly i believed in the hype and preordered it…………………… bassicaly an expansion with absolute ZERO content for a Monthly fee……..Selfie and twitter maaaan…. omg /facedesk
There is absolutely no huge lack of engineers in tpvp. Right now they are one of the strongest classes in tpvp and the meta build uses the celestial amulet, rifle, grenades and tool kit. And did I miss something during the stronghold streams? I thought players would be unable to damage the doors.
Mate, pve meta in this game applies only to dungeons/fractals. Since this is the old content and everyone and their mothers will play HoT where there will be mostly (or only) an open world content, it doesn’t matter what the meta is/will be. People run dungeons not for fun but for gold. It doesn’t matter how you farm gold because it’s mundane. All you want is gold.
WoW i didn’t know im the only person in this game that does the dungeons for fun……
Don’t be afraid to post your group in LFG with the name something like
Newb run
For new players
Anyone can come.
no req.
for Any dungeon.
it WILL fill up kitten FAST.
just because you only see. selling p2 for 5g or Zerk only or 5k archiev.
that does not mean there is no other runs there are ALLOT of people HUNDREDS waiting outside who don’t like to make their group waiting the moment to see a LFG post that has no req.
the people joining these kind of groups usualy pretty friendly or quite.
Then NCsoft pulled the plug saying they didn’t like it for complelely prejudiced reasons.
Fixed that for you. Unfortunately ‘polling’ shows that there is a common (petty) opinion among the Asian public that mixing of korean/chinese/japanese/the other 30 some-odd countries in Asia no one knows about, is offensive, because they are’unique’ cultures, in spite of the fact that Asians and everyone else (including us!) do exactly that with western and European culture in fantasy and fiction.
Here for example, is an interview where a developer admits that they removed the completely finished Cantha district from Divinity’s Reach because of the above-mentioned polling. There is another interview where they state the human opening storylines were replaced from canthan/elonan/krytan to poor/middle class/noble for the exact same reason.
I mean, does Kryta look like any one particular medieval European country to anyone? No, it draws inspiration from dozens, does that offend anyone of European descent, anywhere? No, it does not, in fact the very idea that anyone would be offended by that sounds ludicrous to most of us.
in my opinion mixing cultures and astetics creates the most epic and cool things in a video game and sometimes even irl.
the ONLY way to make Zerker less viable is Nerfing it or buffing all the other stats ALLOT.
i mean i don’t think there is any way to balance Fights where zerker is less effective.
Lets say you make the fight hard for zerkers and thx to this ALL the other builds are even MORE weaker on that fight. i mean if those zerker players who block and dodge perfectly at the right time dies fast what chance a Soilder Knight Clelic have ? they will survive ONE extra hit befor die while doing waaay less dmg ?
On the contrary, it’s quite easy to make fights where Zerker is less effective. Tequatl and triple trouble husks are both examples of where Zerker is not top dog.
On a better note, look at PvP and WvW. Zerker is rather unpopular in both because the risks associated with using it are much, much higher.
so basicaly the only way to make them less usable is to make every single boss in game uncritable ?.
thats bad in my opinion there needs to be another way.
The Meta comes from good guilds like DnT testing out many different combinations in Dungeons/WvW/TPvP/Open World and posting what they feel is the most EFFICIENT team combinations on YouTube and various forums. After that it’s lazy players that find those builds and decide that these builds are the ONLY way to play and everything else is inferior.
and the 75% sell is ending soon……………. oh come ooon im trying to buy the game for a friend…..
