Guild Wars 2

Just started doing it too after 2 Spirit Watches and 4 Skyhammers in a row. Best Decision ever. Especially now that I’m finally getting reward chests again.

Yea, play shatter or interrupt or a hybrid. But please don’t play PU.

All I know is that PU is in need of some serious nerf. I’d rather fight Minionmancers and spirit rangers. Comparing it to the skill needed to play a decent interrupt/shatter-mesmer, it’s just ridiculous.

Halting Strike damage is calculated in a very weird way, it can be pretty meh with numbers around 800, but I’ve also had impressive 5k+ hits (in PvP, thus even inferior stats compared to WvW).

Confusion is alright in PvP in WvW, i just find it weird that engi’s can apply it easier than us.

best thread multiverse

30(I, II, XII), 20 (II,X), 20(V, VIII). Chaos Storm is borderline OP with that.

Not too sure about the Dueling Majors, might swap some stuff around.

I run sw/p/staff, Ether Feast, Mantra of Distraction, Arcane Thievery and Mantra of Concentration. Not sure yet whether I will rely more on phantasms or shatters.

i think necros are my favorite class to beat on my lockdown Mes. Long casttimes, well telegraphed skills, few boons, almost no stability. They are usually dead without firing a single skill and eating 10-12k Halting strike damage.

Please, dear god of randomness, let us face Aurora Glade and Gunnars Hold at the same time. Most epic fights ever incoming, even though we’d get stomped over the week.

I don’t get chests for another 400 wins or so for whatever reason, so this stinks because I miss out on so much.

Any word on that? It’s really horrible that you can’t switch the region without that massive loss of rankpoints.

(the last time i checked KISS alone had a 3-digit number of members, and this is only one of multiple guilds you got)…

Check again, barely 3-digit, one guild.

Just had some solofun on Dzag border and EB with my mesmer. You guys have way too many upleveled guys roaming around, while it’s fun to burst someone down in 3 seconds, i’d rather have a real match. A warrior and a mesmer [HCTP] and a veteran guard got me in the end.

I use this build and even though I know it shouldn’t be working, it does and is A LOT of fun to play. Definitely good enough for soloQ and you learn to focus more on your foe’s boons and actions which helps with all classes you ever want to play.

Why shouldn’t that work? That’s a solid Phantasm-based control build ya got there. I’d argue for Sigil of Paralysis for your two stuns.

It’s just that I try to use everything a Mesmer has to offer at once. Except for bursty shatters, i only shatter for stomps (still shattering though!).
I’m also still not too sure about the second sigil, the stuns atm are easily long enough to set up my favorite combo (iDuelist, iLeap, BF, magic bullet, switch to staff, chaos storm, phase retreat, iWarlock, kite!), although that would give me some room for errors.

Man, even more tourney chests I will miss out on because of my transfer, I wanted to get another stack of unopened ones!

P.S. : Grouch is so cool.

Hey, 5pm is night, that’s why we’re ticking with ~500.

I love this stream! I actually looked into streaming myself too as I am a SoloQ-addict; I have yet to tweak some options, but I am afraid my PC won’t be able to handle it

I switched back to EU yesterday too and the short queue times are so awesome! And people actually stomp from what I’ve seen. Also out of the ~20 games I played so far, only 2 were 4v5s.

We need a 100% underwater map!

This.
I’d play my condi Mesmer then, trident is still hilariously OP.

Yes, the really interesting stuff is (hopefully) going on on monday. I’m still mad at Powerr for playing Hammer/LB warrior in that intro-vid though

Where’s the suspense, other team gotta have 499 points when you win!
Edit: I hate spirit watch btw, even though funny stuff like this can happen if the other team ignores the orbrunner.

Divinity.8041:

The only class I fear on mesmer is a really, really good thief.

Thieves and shatter mesmers, rest usually goes down sooner than later.

To be honest, I feel like hammer warriors are one of the easier classes to beat on my mesmer, especially with a clone-death-build. Earthshaker and boom, possibly 9 stacks of stacks of bleed, or weakness or less stacks and also the stacks from your duelist. It melts them quite fast. Also, with staff we have an almost-stunbreak on a short recharge.

yolosmurf.8052:

its sorely needed nothing more to say – i always report for botting – doesnt do anything but makes me feel better for sure

Are you, like, me? Because that is EXACTLY what I do and how I feel about it.

I run 0/30/10/0/30 (sw/p and staff with Rampager’s amulet and Zerk jewel) and I consider myself pretty good at killing peeps. But burst is very effective against us, I got most problems with D/P thieves, mainly because they have more stealth than me and have time to pick the real mesmer.

The bad part of being an EU player on an NA server. The times!

Yep, no problem for our precious ’nades.

Advent Leader.1083:

Just a side thought about thief LS: how about making it stealing one boon, but sharing it to allies? Would it be OP?

Hard to say, it could be of course if it is a nice stack of might that is stolen. If it’s some short duration Retal, noone will care.

Why noone mentioned Muffinzz yet, he’s awesome.

Spirit Watch is by far the worst and most annoying map. If i wasn’t such a nice person, I would afk right from the start. I rather play 10x Skyhammer in a row than once this ridiculous thing.

Meh, we beat them when we were up against them yesterday. Sucks anyway and shows how ridiculous people can become in a competitive environment.

Edit: Ok not that exact same set-up but the Engi and the ranger were there at least.

Elixir X. Rampage. Dead Wind-Lady.

All you guys shouldn’t worry too much, it’s not like we can field 50 people all the way through your NA-night. Most of the time we will be really active shortly before your primetime.

Engineer and Guardian are also my two most-played classes, and Engineer is alright as it is. However, I only have one wish for WvW: Do something to retaliation and ’nades. Engineers are pretty much unplayable in zergfests.

I really enjoyed the few fights we had yesterday against [Mya], didn’t see much organization of FSP on their own border. Except they were always attacking Bay right before we got into Hills!!!

So I was pretty bored with the usual Meditation or AH builds in PvP and tried to find something new. This build has great DPS with scepter/torch (Torch 4 hits like a truck), while the Hammer offers some extra control. It’s pretty kitten strong in 1v1, but you have to watch your health, as you don’t have any extra healing available like in the aforementioned builds.

I use Balthazar Runes instead of Flame Legion, because I find the quickness pretty handy. It’s not something most opponents expect from a guardian. Oh, and Bane Signet is pretty awesome now, I can’t even imagine how annoying I am with 2 holds and 1 knockdown. And Ring of Warding.

This is probably the dumbest discussion on the internet right now.

I love how it’s always the other’s fault. Some people should really take a good look at themselves before blaming others.
Don’t ruin this fun and (still) close matchup with accusations and what not. Enjoy the game.

I dont know why people keep complaining about zergs either. Bad planning by Anet has made it that those with the biggest zergs will most likely win. Doesnt mean they will win all the time, but they will have better odds.

If people want smaller battles then you are in luck, this week there are free transfers to low and medium tier servers. So if that’s what you want then move there. If by the end of this week you have not, then you only have yourself to blame when you get wiped by a zerg. We’ve all been given a chance to move now, so if you dont that also means you are happy to continue fighting zerg vs zerg.

Just remember that this is only Tier 4, imagine the zergfests in Tier 1.

This coming from KISS, the biggest guild in this matchup. I would be ashamed posting stuff like this.

Wut? What’s wrong with his post? Did you even read it or did you only see the guildtag?

On a different note: I had some really nice fights this week, yes, even against huge (way bigger than us) Zergs. Thank you for this.

I bet you’re not Woman, what did you do to this video that I can’t even watch if I use a darn proxy!

5 silver? Such a majestic creature as the rare pink necro charr has to be worth a lot more!
