im sure he knows the exploits of Idiot Savants in GW championships in leipzig.
Care to explain? I tried to look it up but cant find anything on the matter
Wait for VoD, then Instant Cast+Meteor Shower + moar dps guild lord.
VS EvIL, they ran Ranger spike, then their VoD build, then their secret tactic in the end.
~40 mins.
aka, iQ weren’t predictable.

this is better than “balance/nerf” threads polluting the forums atm.
that has an epic name.
I don’t care if you are full of rank 1s.
I’m rank 27 and plays ranger. I’m not that excellent in game but i could be a decent forum warrior for your guild.
Again, a team that has an epic name.
or pool 10 players and distribute them so top 100 players will play with rank 2s.
As a ranger main forced into spirit ranger, stun wars if played right win every time
No stun breaker is the one thing they left out of spirits. Maybe they need to add a spirit with stun break?
I agree with this. I faced a bunkery stun war and he easily cleared spirits and dropped my health so fast while stunning me. i was 0-3. i got 3.3k toughness and some healing power. i would wonder how a carrion spec spirit ranger will work against them. maybe dropping faster.

don’t take credit and overrate your class for winning the game. looks like you had 2 bunkers who can hold mid and far points (guard and engi).
nonetheless, imagine yourself as someone who just bought GW2 box out of best buy, installed it, went to forums and read that spirit rangers are cool. And you won. YES, you will be enticed to play some more.
FoTMS/META builds are good to get new players in game. if they wish to go srs and compete, they will practice some more and or try other builds. the important thing is the feeling that you don’t suck playing first time and entry level professions such as spirit rangers are fun.
idk if what you’re saying is true. you are carrion spec and your healing power/toughness sucks. so if you do what you just did vsing a decent assaulter|bunker (like thief with a kittening tree LOL), you will wear out and youll die.

The QQ level on this thread is high and ridiculous. As a spirit ranger and based on experience die to assassins warriors mesmers and necro. If spirit ranger is OP, following logic, i would be invincible to them right?
Spirit Rangers are there to separate skilled players from unskilled ones. The skilled ones never lose to them and the unskilled ones go to forums and QQ.
K/D ratio would not work. Most guardians stay alive longer and get kills off teammates so all the guardians would be consider the top players.
But here’s another PIC of just how UNFAIR Anet designed the matchmaking system!
Also this is NOT OPINION for anyone who thinks it is. o.O Look at the rankings and then the score.
It’s called “A.NET’s Conquest Eugenics” grouping all the desirables to one team facing the undesirable team.
That’s your opinion. Team Q is just like that too. Log on and press play now and bam you’re in a Ta match. Is that casual too?.
ideally, if you want to play and win team queue, you get 4 people and make them your friends, practice x hours a day and win team q fights. and you decide to go esports and join prized tourneys etc.
your example is a casual joining a team q match. which will be frustrated because matches are automatically uneven.
thus soloqueue. now the casual player who just press button and want an instant match is in even matches (minus the syncing cheaters of course, those you refer who take the boards seriously)
solo queue is meant for casual play. just log in press a button and you have a match. that’s it.
Casuals with a leader board yes.
Don’t box hot joins with casuals. Many who are serious about their glory rank are farming hotjoins. certainly not casuals.
if you say solo queue are e-sports then i will just lol in front of my computer.
just swap the rank 18 with the rank 2 and you have an evenly matched team rank wise.
You can’t build PvP around casuals with E-Sports in mind. Competitive and ambitious players are bored pretty fast since the meta turned into this BS.
but Solo-Queue is for casuals and not esports. Esports is like PAX or mmorpg tourneys.
High end tourneys aka E-sports could just resort to “prohibited builds” rules and not ruin the fun of the casuals solo queuing.
a.net lingo
balance = nerf
Yeah the meta will be hilarious when they balance rangers and necros since many players have been riding the fotm and will be stumped on what to do against the players who have been perfecting techniques on technical play.
Less than a month!
FOTMS/META builds are good for the casuals to get into pvp.
Nerfing them will be a bad idea.
a skilled player playing an fotm/meta build will win against a casual playing an fotm/meta build. so it’s still skill that matters.
just rebuff BM rangers so we will have spirit rangers and bm rangers viable.
In the name of build diversity.
(edited by alcopaul.2156)
this is the case about a spirit rangers.
if you lose, you’re a bad spirit ranger. if you win, spirit rangers are op.
skill is out of the equation either way.
it’s the stigma against rangers, man.
CC will just build wars the comp, if SYNC be predictable and stick to their comp till eternity.
Caed only plays assassin. Davinci only plays a guard. So that’s one thing to build wars.
Super is a Guild Wars 1 veteran and prolly knows how to build wars well. im sure he knows the exploits of Idiot Savants in GW championships in leipzig.

double checked it and it does heal. but imo its weak to be noticeable (if there is constant source of dmg)
I noticed that when I use Call of the Wild on Healing Spring, I don’t get healed. Bug?
Community testing would be nice.
i play spirit ranger and the ones who have beaten me (on 2vs2) have stacked dps on me/spiked me on cooldown (necro/mesmer) and beaten me (on 1vs1) coz of attrition (pistol mainhand with tree and with Minions perma evade bunker thief)
everything else is easy.
or prolly i don’t play it right.
or you are overrating spirit rangers.
(edited by alcopaul.2156)
WE NEED MORE BUILD DIVERSITY, GUISE. THE BUILDS ARE NOT ENOUGH.
MOAR!
IF BM RANGERS WERE NOT NERFED TO USELESSNESS AND SPIRIT RANGERS WERE BUFFED, WE WILL HAVE 2 RANGER BUILDS.
SO NERFING SUCKS. BUFF AND BUFF.

If you want to have competitive matches then you get 10 players within a reasonable rating of each other and you seed them into teams based on their respective rating relative to each other.
Team 1 – 1,3,6,8,10
Team 2 – 2,4,5,7,9Voila! Relative to the regular face washings that the system currently produces you have at least a somewhat competitive match.
or they can pool 10 players on queue and irregardless of rating (so a rank 2 can still play with rank 60s) and do the same thing, based on their Glory Rank or Ladder rating and equalize the teams. So syncers will most likely to face each other.
I just want my champion genius title, 20 more wins and pvp won’t see me again. Terrible matchmaking + constant leavers and leechers did it for me. Why would you play for leaderboards if it doesn’t say kitten anyway, since other people screw things up for me.
Crabtoss Champion is the greatest Champion title ever.
ascended gear and things that make you grind aka new items that cost 100 g are the burger and fries in your example
solo que is better than 5v5 hotjoin because there is no autobalance
perma evade heal pistol/dagger assassin that summons a tree owns spirit rangers
(edited by alcopaul.2156)
super, dont worry bout cheating syncers. they just get to noobstomp soloqers with honor. but you get to go to pax and have the opportunity of lifetime.
syncers are cheaters and you clearly know what happens to those who cheat.
i voted for kiel because i want to see a hologram of her in a bikini
I still remember HoD being the top 1 server when SBI collapsed. and HoD collapsed too.
Nothing beats the Cow finisher.
Pool 10 players. Then evenly distribute players based on ran/rating til the teams are even. Not stacking them in 1 team and picking up the pieces on the other team
Say in a pool where there is
rank 60
rank 50
rank 55
rank 20
rank 23
rank 45
rank 14
rank 10
rank 33
rank 20
Team A
Rank 60
Rank 45
Rank 33
Rank 20
Rank 10
vs
Rank 50
Rank 55
Rank 20
Rank 23
Rank 14
Pool 10 players
Evenly distribute players
It’s that easy.
i usually suggest, “cap home and mid, win team fights and be patient.”
but sometimes you get to vs a bunkery stronger team at team fights or 1vs1. if that’s the case, i let it be and let the team do clutch strats ASAP. some times it works and the score differential is not that sad. but you get some noob blaming the rest of the team sucking.
if your team is dying fast or are wiping at team fights after waves of respawns, you know that you’re in a disadvantage.

They got Lance Armstrong-ed. They should’ve let Xeph temporarily sit out for this tourney and went 4 TP and a sub. Prolly the following tourneys, the eligibility rules will be relaxed a bit by A.NET.
it would be awesome if u could give ur teammates / and enemyplayers some kind of valuation ( like this guy played super tanky bunker: could hold mid entire game, this roamer sucked …)
a like button?
it’s already nerfed (spirit of nature not healing other spirits) and you want to nerf it some more?
i play outside of primetime.
i put 10 in BM for faster recharge of F2 pet skills
the guild should be renamed The Sandwich Factory [TSF]
let us bring out the thin foil hut!
bring back BM rangers?
Whys any team use voip? TP CC etc. Call out stun then 1shot. Its unfair you cant do that while fighting. Chain attacks together like that.
Reserved for team queue and syncers. And that scenario is usual in teams who have played together or practiced together.
But the general Solo Que crowd, nah. they just want to log in and play. VoIP is a bonus.
well when youre inside, there is this short queue time where one player can just pop a teamspeak server and your Solo Queue team can log on there.
But what difference does it make? less typing. you can type your comms. people here have suggested efficient ways to do so.
Did you win Narcin?
I love meeting new people. I love random things. I love clicking the button without people bugging me to go to a VoIP server.
It’s like 1 night stand. Yeah sometimes you get some and sometime you lose some.
You can get your build and try it on a balanced setting.
Yolo Que. Trollo Que.
It’s like rolling the dice. I’m a gambler and i stay up all night to get lucky.
Thanks A.NET.
because people love Trollo Que
Can we have this? Coz it seems to be happening right now in WvWvW
