Guild Wars 2

indeed would be perfect for guild leaders to control their roster

+1 right here I love the crowd control role but yet it feels rather useless in a dungeon.

Even though I like the idea I don’t know if this would work, because of balancing, traits & the profession abilities (example: Mesmer’s Shatter skills)

+1 I like it. Obviously needs some small changes but I love it so far.

If memory serves, wasn’t this possible in gw1?

Yes that was possible in GW1

I would like to ask if the standard Unicorn build can be used for WvW or even PvE/dungeons. I just started using this build in PvP & I find it quite amusing so did anyone ever try to use it for other means other than PvP? If yes with modifications or how did you use it.

I only use it in the Marsh Fractal in case I get KDed by a trap or so..other than that not worth it

It’s not that I hate Trahearne. He indeed is an interesting character & I wouldn’t mind having him follow me in MY personal storyline. But I want my storyline, I don’t want to be his sidekick in his personal storyline. After Claw island it just went horrible. I play with a Sylvari so I had him since the early missions in my storyline. Please Anet if you want to feature Trahearne again be my guest but please make it be in our storyline & not in his. I don’t want a character in my story that plays a bigger role than me. For example Tybalt. He was our partner, he helped us gave us some hints & helped me decide & what not but with out pretty much reminding us every single mission that he has a higher rank than us, not like Trahearne pretty much rubs it in our face a couple of times that he is Zhaitan’s target because he is the marshal & not us (Something that is obviously pathetic to think, because it’s pretty much our character that hinders Zhaitan every single time).

I really enjoy this idea.

Stealth is just as much of a benefit to the person fighting as it is to the thieve. If a thieve is using it to get a quick advantage then he is not in it long. Most GC builds only use Stealth for a second or two anyhow. If in that 5 to 8 second window they can’t kill you then they run and have to wait for CD’s, which means you have time to heal and your CD’s are also recharging.

If he is a stealth build then as someone else stated you have time to heal and recharge CD’s. 98% of Stealth builds are low to medium damage, they are meant to annoy and hold off points till others could get there. You can’t take big hits but you can avoid people and make capping a point near impossible.

Also I love how people come on and ask for nerfs and removals, all because of PvP. Then never once stop to think of how it would affect PvE. So many games have nerfed skills and abilities because of PvP with no regards to PvE, which in tales screws over PvE.

I do like the idea of a shimmer if caught in a AoE ( this coming from a person that plays a Stealth build Thieve), although my only addition to this would be even though they shimmer they are still not targatable . I could be fine with this, as it doesn’t cripple the thieve players but only gives us a lil more of a challenge.

Although I would love to see Arena Net fix this, not sure if it is like this in SPvP but in the Holiday PvP my friend in the same group as me was on the red team I blue, I hit stealth from the dps selection and I was a translucent white haze to him, for future Holiday events you should probably fix this Arena Net lol.

You sir get a +1

Haha, typical stealth class players, all you can do is troll rather than try to educate people, like myself, in a constructive manner.

I guess I just prefer the old school DAoC style of stealth. All these wusses that use stealth to cheat you of a kill are ridiculous.

It is a game, stop being a pansy about dying in a 1v1.

/rant off

Seriously the thief is a class that should be played in stealth & what not. What you’re suggesting is just ridiculous. I agree that stealth can me a major annoyance when in WvW thanks to the culling issues & such, but in PvP? Man thieves are not overpowered at all. Like Someone already said nerfing the thief would be really annoying for people who only play PvE. Please just learn how to fight a thief instead of kittening around that they are overpowered because they’re not.

I’d have a suggestion for that. Create missions like the daily pre-searing quests in GW1. There you can bring some henchmen to help you out. Every order has a different mission or so & different Henchmen. It would definitely make the orders more interesting. The same thing with the home instances. Put on a daily mission. For example you enter you home instance as you Sylvari & Carys need your help clearing an area from undead. So like the story mode quests you team up with Carys & other NPCs from your instance as your henchmen & they help you out. That would make both the home instance & the orders more fun to play.

I agree on not letting people do dungeons & open world events with henchmen though. Give me your ideas & suggestion for the top part though I would like to know what you think about it.

I agree this would be an interesting new thing. Even though I like the idea with racial skills I don’t know if they’d work very good(balancing & stuff & other reasons), but hey it might be possible & would be awesome.

I wanted to suggest exactly the same thing. The Order you choose is quite useless after the personal storyline & I would love to remind myself that I am a lightbringer by doing some cover ops or what not for the Order of Whisper.
So 100% agree this.

I actually like the idea.

Oh please no… adding these things to the gem store would make GW2 a pay to win game.

I agree with ALMOST everything. The use of the gem store is the only thing I do not really agree because a lot of us (me for example) don’t have all the money in the world to invest for housing & such… It would be an awesome karma drain though.

Please stop with this madness…. thieves aren’t OP.

Highest dmg: Warrior
Mobility: Elementalist
Stealth: Thief

Only because the culling in WvW is getting out of hand doesn’t mean you have to nerf them… I don’t go whine in Mesmer threads or what not & tell to nerf their clones because they are hard to kill for me. I acctualy think a couple of Thief stuff is UP for example P/P. In dungeons & PvE my Thief even feels pretty useless.

The slot could be implemented on the Fashion tab. That would make more people show their mini pets without the lag.

I use a ranged build (P/P and SB).

So I usually run dungeons with this build specifically CoE & Arah. I use full Berserker set (Armor & weapons). I use Hoelbrak runes & sigils of strength on the gun & purity on SB. As for traits I use:

Crit Strike:
Practiced Tolerance or Pistol Mastery (depending if you need more dmg or survivability)
Combo Critical Chance (As I mostly try to pam Unload)

Acrobatics:
Power of Inertia (for more might)
Quick Recovery (enables better Unload spamming)
Assassin’s Reaward (more healing)

Trickery:
Thrill of the Crime (Just to get the boons)

Skills:
Hide In Shadows (for the Stealth & condition healing)
Signet of Agility (Quick endurance recovery)
Infiltrator’s Signet ( Initiative recovery)
Shadow Refugee or Assassin’s Signet (Shadow Refugee is the best thief skill in my opinion perfect for stealthing & reviving but sometimes you need more spiky dmg. so I use Assassin’s Signet)

Elite: Basilisk Venom (Quick CD & able to stun every enemy even if they have x stacks of defiance)

What I basically do is try to spam Unload to dmg & to get more stacks of might & using to dodge to move away from attacks while getting even more stacks of might.
If I find myself in a tough situation I switch to SB for more mobility & condition removal (because of sigil of purity). For me it works quite well.. My death rate fell drastically after I switched to this build. I tried using Divinity runes but I didn’t really enjoyed it so I switched to Hoelbrak for more stacks. And before I forget stealing is a great initiative recovery mechanism (even though you don’t run out of initiative that easily).

Hope this was useful!

Oh god what have I done! :O
About 2 hours after this post I regretted it immediatly (Soulstar’s reason exactly)

So I was fooling around in Lion’s Arch with my guild leader & we thought that being able to marry characters would be a fun thing to add. It should be something cosmetic but still fun. I’d love to know what you guys think about this silly idea.
