Nan dude its the opposite, power specs got stronger with the runes of strength in Spvp. Condis are probably ruling wvw though. Cuz of the 40% duration food and 10% crit dmg Nerf.
Doubt it. The only time the food makes a difference is in 1v1 or 2v2 situations, which are rare, in fact, the very minority of situations in WvW. Any more then that and the group or AoE condition removal options, combined with the stack cap or the fact that many conditions only stack in duration, limiting their value extremely, with more then one player that applies them as part of their builds damage.
So the game should be balanced around 1111111 zerg play? I doubt so.

Longbow is just too useful it’s basicly a defensive/offensive/support/CC/AoE weapon all at the same time. Also warrior’s damage would be crap without the might it provides.
Heavy armor doesn’t mean tanky. I’m running a fairly glassy build on my warr with only balance stance. Any condi necro/engi/ranger would be tankier than me.
Also rank doesn’t mean anything. I’ve been testing a lot of builds in hotjoin and still ranking up very quickly.
Decap and hambow are mediocre in 1v1 and MM necro is fairly easy to kill even if its easy to play the MM yourself. Nothing is easier than perma resseting your health in stealth, its like having 10 heals instead of 1.
Im using carrion amulet its not even full cheese lol and the build is pretty faceroll without toughness. carrion amulet is condi dmg, power , vitality. If there was dire gear in PvP then I could probably sleep while playing P/D condi.
And no there’s no downside for this build, basicly the downside is that its too boring to play and not challenging .
Welcome to the club ? Nan, I feel bad for killing people with P/D unless its a PU mesmer. The only one that comes close to the “facerollness” of P/D is condi banner/shout warrior.
Those are probably top 3 faceroll builds
Mace got nerfed so much . The skull crack animation is the biggest joke, if you are not an asura I wouldn’t suggest mace. Try longbow/GS is a lot of fun to burst like crazy, it is similar to mace/GS. CC+ 100b.
You need to improve your reading skills, if you can find the word overpowered in my post
I will give you all my money. I’m just saying its funny how useless and skill less builds are strong in 1v1.
And no actually you can’t bunk home with a P/D thief, any thief using such build in tournies is useless and gets carried hard if his team manages to win.
Anybody records videos on a terribad computer? I wanted to record some PvP videos and was wondering how much FPS I will get while recording . I usually have between 15-25 FPS while playing .
So childish reporting people for 1 word. If I had to report people every time I get trash talk in PvP , I would be reporting more than I would be playing.
Thief vs Warrior is 50/50 , I play both and it really depends on the skill. S/D and D/P are very effective against warriors. You just need to make sure to kite the warrior while he is using berserker stance.
Most people QQing about warriors are beyond bad. Not even smart enough to realize that its safe to play hambow and not because its OP. Several teams said there’s better team comps than double warrior.
Codi necro should not become stronger. They should put stability in a pure power build instead . Example of a trait : 25% chance to gain stability for 5 sec (30 sec cool down) if you strike a foe for more than 30% of their health.
That would be a terrible trait no one would take, Life blast is the only skill necros have that could do that (axe 2 is multiple attacks this isn’t a thief). Also that means often times you will have killed the person before you get stability. Also the cooldown is huge. Literally no one would take this and it would solve no problems.
Furthermore, as evidenced by TOL condition necros aren’t that wanted because they don’t have enough sustain to survive in this meta. After the dhummfire patch the only reason necros where viable was because you could sacrifice a whole class to baby sit their terrible sustain because of absurd damage. Since then necromancers condition damage in pvp has been lowered several times, and then they nerfed dhummfire a second time. The condition damage necros put out is low compared to an engineer. They also have less survivability.
Even beyond that, condition necros don’t take signet of locust because they rely on signet of spite, a stun break, and corrupt boon. Introducing a skill to possibly reduce their damage, but increase their sustain is exactly what is needed. Also, if you know the class you’ll know people don’t often run signets and they are in general bad except signet of spite. Your suggestion would just force necros to run full zerker and have even less sustain. That is the opposite of what the class needs.
A well played zerker necro can be very strong against everything except warrior because of immunities spam and stuns. But for an adept trait that would be decent .

I tried to search for you on top 1000 leaderboards but I couldn’t find. However, I would like to know more about your expert opinion. Could you please elaborate it more?
I tried to check what kind of people get killed by a warr, it turned out it was only bads. Also since the ladderboard means so much to you , you can 1v1 me anyday. Any spec except PU.
And warrior’s longbow is what keeps them alive in a 1v1 situation. Without longbow warriors would be free kills for any thief/mesmer/engi and even necro with minions.
Thanks for admitting that warrior relies on combustive shot spam to win 1v1s against a variety of classes.
How about, we shave some of longbows power, and add it to other weapon sets for warrior, huh? Maybe this is what balancing is about, yeah? That way warriors are not pidgeonholed into running longbow to be viable.
How can combustive shot be a problem if other classes can spam way more condis and way longer duration? If combustive shot gets destroyed then warriors would need an insane damage buff to compensate. Because the only way I can get glass damage is by stacking might with longbow. Otherwise warrior damage without might is sub par, its not even a warrior at that point but a tanky loot bag.

Ah sorry if this is for PvE then this build is not the best . And no actually I was thinking that you forgot to change your sigils because those come by default when you buy weapons from the dungeon vendor.
The trick is to play at night I think. I dont get poor match making during night times. If I log in the morning then its full of bearbows and signet warriors.
The honest truth is that aside from utility, GS is kind of bad in PvP because anyone that knows what they’re doing isn’t going to let you 100b them. I’d say you’d be better off using either axe/sword or sword/sword but I understand the feeling of not wanting to drop GS. It’s too awesome of a weapon.
This is total bull again. Anybody with a brain won’t let you use eviscerate by that logic, this is why you use control skills such as pin down and bull charge to land the 100b
It still funny to see people who think PU is balanced.
A) go to a dueling server
B) say you are a PU mesmer
C) see how many people will fight you
Yea nobody . You think you’re good using PU? lol this fail trait will get nerfed once they start going a bit seriously into dueling. Enjoy while it lasts.
1v1 balance makes for a really boring team based game.
The only way to have real 1v1 is same class, same spec, same utility, same everything. If you think there is anything resembling a balanced match between any 2 specs you are deluding yourself, one is always going to have some kind of upper hand on the other. Just not as much as PU mes SA thief hambow warrior mm necro etc…
This is why I stay away from 1v1 arena custom lobbies, that and the communities there are full of angry 12 year olds that think every spec should be matched evenly 1v1.
Hambow is not even close to being good in 1v1, any player with half a brain should dodge most of the huge hammer telegraphs. Get your facts right before posting. I switched the hammer for a great sword because I realized hambow only works against terribads.

“duel server” literally means nothing. find a real team that will take a PU mesmer in a real tourney. i will bet money NO ONE will take a PU mes. because they excel in 1v1 fights means they are op?
Edit: I’m pretty sure your mistaking you on incompetence and lack of skill for OP mesmer. learn to follow with your eyes don’t swing blindly and play smart.
I just watched your recent post , you are using a training wheels SA P/D thief build. The easiest build to do well in 1v1 after PU. Sorry to break your bubble but anybody can kill people with that build. But its OK , I also used 30 SA when I was bad.

Dem PU skillz! This isint glass, its like saying you’re playing glass thief with 30 SA. 30 SA= tank even in full zerk gear. So prismatic much understanding.
