Guild Wars 2

Agreed!!! Bearbows need a buff!!

Avoiding punishing attacks does requires fast reflexes. Bunker vs bunker is a fight of autoattacks and random dodges because there’s no burst to avoid.

You can’t report afkers, the clowns who report for " botting" will eventually get banned for submitting false reports.

Its not a “new build” . I saw this build before in dueling arenas. It is garbage outside of 1v1.
I even saw some hybrids going hammer/mace with confusion on rupt.

I don’t think the OP is trolling, he just telling us how easy it is to rely on AI instead of yourself.

OP is right tho, yolo Q is full of bunkers. Killing each other takes 3 hours which is not fun.

Roe.3679:

I assume this is about WvW? Since in spvp you can only have one defensive stat.

I can assure you, dire does less damage than rampager gear, so likening dire gear to having glass damage makes your whole point seem void and makes it sound like more QQ about conditions. Plus, I think it is considered more of a problem in spvp than WvW, if wvw is what you are talking about.

No I aint QQing about condtions Im telling the condi users that their builds are no longer as faceroll as before . Now they will actually have to react fast and not just run in circles and spam condis.

Farming is not RNG. You farm , you earn gold you buy precursor from TP.

I hope they won’t Nerf strength runes because of some random QQ. Seriously leave the runes as they are. Power has strength , condi has Balthazar.

Everybody is overpowered now… looks like we have achieved balance.

Aren’t you like, the king of complaining about stuff that kills you? I’m surprised you aren’t supportive of this.

But I guess seeing the classes you play in your signature I shouldn’t be THAT surprised.

I don’t use Balthazar runes , I think they are fine. I just don’t like this logic of " Nerf what is good" instead of buffing what is bad.

I hope they won’t Nerf strength runes because of some random QQ. Seriously leave the runes as they are. Power has strength , condi has Balthazar.

Warrior longbow is a zone control weapon if you try to play at 2000 range it will fail miserably. Ranger longbow is good when you are far away from your target.

So because this rune is good its overpowered ? Are we really supposed to use garbage runes? All classes have access to those runes I don’t see how it can be overpowered.
Maybe cleric gear is OP? Heals too much lawl.

Paladin best ranged DPS

I don’t understand the point of “hybrid builds” with a warrior. While using a lowgbow we already have an insane condi pressure you don’t need this fail celestial gear to be hybrid.

And you will get demolished by either pure zerkers or pure condi spammers since your build won’t be able to handle any of them.

But I like my zerk warr. 40k hundred blades= GG

FinalPatriot.8034:

PU has some serious weaknesses though if you know how to fight against them. I played a S/Torch + GS hybrid of the PU build and would crumble against intelligent condition players.

On my S/S + LB condition warrior, PU mesmers are easy to kill due to their lack of mobility and inability to avoid the massive amounts of conditions.

Every build, every class has it’s counter though at the end of the day, it’s the skill of the player that matters the most.

Condi warr takes no skill at all to play either. It is the easiest after spirit and MM. I won’t use a crappy condi build just to kill a PUmes. If you think u have skill playing a condi warr with 0 risk u are wrong kid.

So many mesmers defending PU. This is also sad, I play thief/engi/warr and I don’t defend fail builds like hambow, pistol whip and decap.

This faceroll and overpowered spec will not get nerfed anytime soon right ? Mesmer hiding in stealth 80% of the time with protection and regen while your enemy has perma weakness/cripple which kills any power user.

There’s a reason why PU is banned from dueling servers. PU noobs are instantly kicked upon join. Seriously I dont know what the devs are wating to nerf this fail and OP 1v1 build.

And dont tell me to l2p, the people who use PU should learn to play a real build.

Don’t craft it, its ugly as kitten.

I find them all very easy except ele. When I play an ele it feels like I’m squishy as heck and deal no damage whatsoever.

Ryan.9387:

So if I solo queue and afk all game the outcome is 100% luck?

yes if you look correctly at the screen shot, my team won a 4v5 with me being afk hallf of the game. To win a 4v5 the opposite team has to be really bad and its not a normal win, we won by 400 points. If you dont call that luck then I dont know it is. We were lucky that the opposite team was composed of new players only or we would have lost that 4v5.

Klocknov.8219:

I love you Zepidel, but can’t wait till all the afkers MMR drop so I can play solo q again…

I play tons of solo que, but I don’t take it seriously. I usually change my build every 2-3 matches and use it to test stuff out. If you realize solo que is actually just the dumpster que, and play to have fun/learn/theory craft a bit you will have a lot better time.

If you “tryhard” in solo que all that is going to come to you is frustration, I learned my lesson years ago in dota1. And this is why the communities for mobas and GW2 solo que are so terrible, people want to be MLG Pr0 tryhards, but cant be asked to get 5 measly people together.

And considering how much anet puts into the game non cash shop wise (nothing) we can expect to see afk detection, pause, and full roster checks before the game starts around… never. those are honestly my only complaints with solo que.

I dont really ‘’try hard’’ in Solo Q. I change my build like every week except for my thief. Most people are not try hards they just wanna have fun with an equal match up. Winning or losing 500-0 is basicly the same thing. Winning with a decent team against scrubs its just as frustrating as losing with a scrub team against decent players.

You dont need a 5 man team for a game mode to become competitive. I’ve played an FPS game before where hotjoin was more competitive than clan vs clan. And yes even if solo Q is not as important as team Q in gw2 , they should fix their broken system.

Zepidel.5349:

This is a reality in every single game that has solo que. And the fix for this has existed since the dawn of time.

Show Spoiler

que with a group

Solo que TPvP is no different than hotjoins, don’t fool yourself into thinking otherwise.

I can never find 5 people for team Q . And no actually, the match making was way better pre-patch.

Since the patch the match making became worse than ever. It is completly luck based. You get either vetrans with meta spec rank 50+ or total noobs signet P/P thieves and signet riffle warriors.

It needs a fix as soon as possible because I dont wanna win or lose because of luck I wanna have an equal match up. We won this match it was 4v5 the entiere time and I was like semi- afk because I was looking something on youtube. So they basicly won a 3v5.

Stability stomp.

Amir.1570:

I’ll say it again and I’ll keep saying it.

Mesmer will always be zero skill cancer class. This class is just flat-out EVIL and should just be deleted and re-worked from scratch. Why? Because distortion is Berserker Stance, Endure Pain, and Balanced Stance in one package. It boggles me that people think Warrior is brain dead with it’s invulnerabilities but Mesmer isn’t. Like seriously Mesmer takes skill? It’s so easy to count dodges while spamming dodges on this brain-dead excuse of a class. Even worse now that they enabled Knights amulet in sPVP. Add to the fact that that Mesmers can attack while spamming endurance dodge or any form of cheese for that matter, something will go wrong if they aren’t kept “UP”.

I guess balancing will always be pathetic when ANET is in charge of GW2.

Mesmer is the perfect example of EVIL in video games. Never a fun class to play against and people literally think they’re good when they play this brainless class just because “I have to time my evades on a Mesmer” when this cancer class has so much more evades than any other class in the game.

Don’t even bring Thief into the discussion, Sword Dagger is balanced now and Thieves don’t deal DPS if they spam short bow 3.

I agree with this dude, mesmer much skill. Summon 3x phantasms that deal 7k each ,hide in stealth= GG. Im actually sorry for insulting MM necros and spirit rangers when Mesmer is THE faceroll class of the game.

thanks for not deleting this map. Look I like skyhammer but not in Solo Q. Yes its fun to troll and Knock people off the cliff but when skyhammer pops 3 times in a row and its a 2v5 there’s a problem somewhere.

I hope this is a troll thread. Necro/engi is the new fotm in spvp. Absurd condi dmg while being tanky as kitten with 45k hp total with death shroud.

Mesmer lowest skill floor by far in any 1v1 situation. The AI does all the work.
Mesmer = MM necro.

Those 2 boss are imba , chieftain is easier to kill than svanir

ghaleon.2861:

The QQ never ends….. PvE farmers i swear

Said the guy who QQ about thieves in all his other posts. Teef OP pls Nerf. At least thieves have to press buttons to win. Its not the faceroll AI that does all the work.

Base armor is fine, just be sure to use berserker stance and stability. There’s no need for defense stats in a burst build. And these days condi specs are so powerful that if you lack damage they will eat you alive. So pop stability and berserker stance and laugh at those pathetic condi noobs.

incoming teef nerf cuz of forum QQ , thank you fortus I will have to play my warrior 100% of the time. Enjoy my hammer stuns

but playing AI based class takes skills guys. You have to calculate for how much time you can afk until your AI kills everything.

because it takes skillz

this is true, necro became the new DPS tank

Actually the OP talked about warrior in general. I dont think anybody would use GS/LB in PvE. My point was warrior is fun in PvE because of the OP survivability but gets boring in PvP because of the lack of things you can do against your openent.

ronpierce.2760:

Lol.. kitten A t s e, do we have to go through this every other day? xD
A, Spirit rangers aren’t “afk specs”, spirits have a pretty long cast time and they don’t attack. They’re just buffs. Unless shouts and other boon-related builds are afk specs too, spirit ranger isn’t. They’re just powerful, and suffer from animations all looking alike on short bow. They press buttons to win though, even if you can’t tell that a split-green poison shot, a jump back, a daze shot and a snare are something other than SB #1, doesn’t mean they’re only pressing 1. Not that it matters, thieves are the kings of 1 button combos.

MM, has tons of downsides to its passive damage. It has basically no passive defense (outside of DS, which for any MM build actually weakens you the longer you stay in it because you can’t control pets, apply layers of CC, and you give free time for enemies to kill your pets) . I’d love to have evade on every other attack I have, stability, stealth, etc, I guess not all builds play the same, oh my.

PU Mesmer, don’t care. It can burn in a fire. Literally the only build in the ENTIRE game that I can say I actually “hate”. Condi damage + stealth + ai scaling with stats applying massive condi damage doing actually GOOD damage themselves, weakness spam, perma cripple and the Mesmer never once having to try to engage in the fight themselves is pretty lame. Let alone the actual PU trait itself. At least MM has some sort of relation to their AI (MM ccing so AI isn’t useless).

That’s my two cents, BAI! See you in the duel rooms (lol)

Sorry ronpierce, I know you are the best MM and you like your petting zoo but I’m not necessairly asking for nerfs, they could even buff it but the minions shouldn’t just attack like that passivly. The necro should have the full control over the minions, that way it will buff good MM necros and nerf really bad ones.

This should apply to all the AI in the game. And btw spirit ranger is the worst of all. Their ’’burst’’ comes from the shortbow auto-attack. I’m always asking myself how are they doing to play spirit ranger. 1111111 must be boring as kitten.

And then you run with a zerker thief along with a full zerker party and realize warrior is actually mid tier DPS. thief DPS is second only to eles

And then you look at your HP and you are almost dead. Naked warrior still has more survivability than a geared thief in PvE.

And then you realize you should be better at avoiding damage through dodging.

Why I would dodge if I can just use my warrior?

Because you need to maintain >90% HP to keep your 10% damage from BIS Scholar runes. Not to mention standing still pressing 1 is very dull, why submit yourself to that just because it’s “easier”?

Scholar runes are garbage, look warrior OP damage with runes of strenght. And that was on a rabid necro lolol

Not saying its OP but is it fine for arenanet to have afk specs that allow you to eat dinner while playing?

- spirit ranger
- MM necro
- PU mesmer

Im just asking because I’d rather fight an actual player than an afk person.

Why not Nerf the targeting system ? Its insta cast.

Oh yea sorry I meant attack. But you would still get rekt by condi bunks . Full zerk is the only way to beat them.

Also Nerf shouts, they are insta cast. Guardian’s meditation teleport skill is insta cast as well.

The damage in wvw got nerfed so hard I would recommend full zerk if you wanna have a chance against condi bunkers. And btw your power is incredibly low. With food I almost have 4k power on my warr. But interesting weapon combination , axe/mace and Hammer sounds pretty good even though I never tested it.

Oh no condi bunker got instagibbed . how sad
