Guild Wars 2

lol ya probaly and its already been a year maybe in 4 or 5 huh

So this is an old complaint but the skill says it does about twice as much damage as it actually does. Pls fix it.

My bad the Region is North America

Hi all, I’m Zuko. My friend Nec Roe and I are looking to form a team to compete in weekly tourneys. I play cele ele, and he plays terromancer necro. Feel free to post here with what you play or whisper/mail me in game, and we will give you a try out.

but if u think u can make a good build with it in pvp let me know i just think its not worth what u have to sacrifice to get it

i should have said this earlier but im talking strictly pvp and while its not a terrible trait u cant make a good pvp build with it d/d needs those 30 in arcana and at least 15 in water so no good scepter needs fresh air so u cant take it and if u go zerk staff and put 30 in fire and 30 in air ur survivability is a joke also most conjured weapons suck in pvp so no earth shield or lightning hammer

As Lightning rod works right now it does damage and inflicts weakness upon cc-ing an enemy. However most weapon sets have only 2 or 3 cc skills on a long cooldown which does not justify going 30 into air for the trait in pvp. My suggestion is that the trait be changed so that it activates upon every other attunement swap, with the first swap in combat activating it, and reduces attunement recharge by 1 second. With this change it would actually be a viable trait for pvp.

standard duration is only 4 secs with traits it goes up to around 9 i believe which is doubling the damage so i think its worth it personally and like you said its only a 2 sec weakness and i think the duration is worth it since that way the bleeds stay up long enough to be spread with epidemic. also with the built in spectral armor and staff one i dont have too much trouble with life force regen. if you wanted life force regen i would probaly give up the fear on cc in death magic for life force on marks in soul reaping

feel free to post feedback

build
This build is built around laying down aoe condis with staff and scepter 2 and dagger 5 while using fears to keeps foes away and give you some added damage. Start with staff and lay down 2 and 3 with an optional 5. Then swap to scepter/dagger and use 2 and 5 followed by a few scepter auto-attacks and epidemic to spread all them lovely condis. Also surprisingly strong 1v1.

Traits:
Curses 30: II, IX, (XI or VII)
I typically run with XI but VII is an option since we are running two corruption skills

Death Magic 20: V, (VIII or VII)
I typically run with VIII because with the utter lack of stability in this build its nice to have the fear to prevent them from wailing on you while you are cc’ed it is also a 3.25 second fear which does a lot of damage

Soul Reaping 20: III, IX

Utilities:
Spectral Wall: My personal favorite skill. Can be used defensively or offensively. OR BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. Laying it down then running behind saves you from thieves and other bursty melee players. Can also be used to trap enemies in a corner where u can then proceed to lay down ur condis on em.

Corrupt Boon: I take this to get rid of enemies pesky stability. It even turns stability to a fear so it is sometimes advantageous to you when an enemy pops stability.

Epidemic: Great skill. Spreads all condis on one player to enemies in radius. Only problem is the long cast time.

Flesh Golem: Better alternatives than the others as we lose out on damage in other elites. The charge is also great for destroying treb and gates.

Heal:
Consume Conditions: Good heal. Clears all conditions and rewards you with extra health for each condition cleared. Whats not to like.

Conclusion: I hope you all try out the build. I find to be very effective and a lot of fun. Only issue I have is lack of stability. Have fun with the build. Feel free to whisper me in game. My necro’s name is Prince Necropolis

with my trap ranger i can give u some aoe condition damage plus some cc skills hound immobilze spike trap immobilize and vine elite which is great in team fight also have a chance to apply 3 bleeds on autoattack

hey i main a ranger and i saw u didnt have ranger in your link but i was wondering if u would still be interested i play spirit ranger and trap ranger

i play ranger and am interested check my post its one of the newer ones for more info im not rank 30 but with all the rank farming it doesnt mean much hope thats not a problem

ok looks like i have to make myself look better so i went a game with 13 kills and 0 deaths
i dont rage at people and i am friendly now can somebody please respond

I play spirit ranger which is pretty self explanatory and a 10/30/30 trap build where the role is to help bunker and people on point while they are distracting enemy by applying lots of conditions and i mean lots very offensive build not tankish but great for team fights works great in coordinated team not great but ok solo chance to apply 3 bleed on auto attack
Im looking for a team for the weekends so saturday and sunday weekdays are iffy not always on at same time

will do ill send you a message through mail if your not online

DROT (Dashing Rogues of Tyria) is a new guild looking for thieves who want to specialize in wvw. If you like roaming the map looking for small battles, capturing camps and sentries, and guild mates that will actually talk to you then Dashing Rogues of Tyria is the Guild for you. Post here if you want to join or whisper to me online. My toons name is Arya Ismirala.

ya if you survive long enough to do that

thieves have been nerfed more than any other class (i didnt check my facts on that but i think its safe to assume) Just because you need to actually think and plan to fight us doesnt mean we need a nerf

besides you dont pick a class because they are average at everything you pick them because they excel at something

indeed a very delicate sniper with a very big gun that is powerful but you have to be at point blank range in which case you can get hit easily

a great thing and bad thing balance out ergo thieves are balanced

that is a lie thieves excel at 1v1 even with the recent nerf we can still do very well with d/p which balances out the fact that we aren’t great in big groups

you can be a zergling but lets face it a thief will go down faster than most other classes

as you said if you make currently thieves are strongest in 1v1 which is why you suggested they make them less strong there and stronger in a group which proves my point that at the moment they are great for 1v1 and not so great for big group you certainly can roll other things and they’ll work but they wont work quite as well

so if you want to go solo the thief probably has the best builds for it while they dont have great builds for zergs

true but some professions have better builds for a certain role like a guardian is a better tank than any other profession except maybe a dual dagger elementalist

heal in shadows which is what your talking about is on a 30 sec cooldown plus in a zerg your still going to get hit whether your in stealth or not

Its true that if you go one on one with a good thief your probably going to lose, but if a thief is involved in a zerg he/she is going to go down fast. Thieves excel in small battles but there low vitality and toughness makes them terrible for zergs. Each class should play to its strengths if your not a thief, mesmer, or possibly a ranger don’t expect to be as good at small battles. Your strength is in zergs. If you want to do small battles make a thief for goodness sake cause that is what they are good at.

What do u think of new build
