Guild Wars 2

forget it, the mesmer hate is almost as toxic as the thief scare from 2013

I’m asking for it to be moved from 100% to 75%, 50% is too much.

I’ll give you an A for effort on trying to sell bull kitten though.

dude its more, stealth, backstab…coupled with the venom which turns you to stone then your immob….yeah its 6.5k but think of all the damage you do while we are sitting there unable to fight back

dunno dude, every time I’ve ever used GS4 it didnt produce a clone unless it hit something.

by the way, the PU nerf, guts the only good build Mesmers have had in 2 years.

Honestly the nerf should have been 75% instead of 100%, 50% is going to kill the PU build completely. (By the way this post would not even have been made if the nerf was 75% instead of 50%).

We have to use skills to produce those, if we hit you with that skill it nulls the stealth.

How about you mesmer haters actually play the class before you whine so much…I’ll provide the cheese tray for you

Heres why I say it was not needed, max stealth was 25s with torch 4, decoy and mass invis. We could cross the map from one side to another just like a thief (which no one is complaining about) and it would run out before we even got all the way across.

Most Mesmers dont even use all three, so our stealth is only around 14s total. It seems to me that everyone did not like it because when we stealthed you could not just instant burst us. It required you to put in more effort. I invite all my mesmer brothers and sisters to post here and cause a fuss. Make Anet see the error of their ways.

No one is complaining about thief because they don’t have the ridiculous burst potential that mesmer does.

Bull kitten, let one stealth up behind you and you still say that.

I have used CI, I prefer PU. Stealth nerf would actually hurt the class because like the thief it is a defensive in nature skill. Why should let stand there and make it easier for everyone else to burst us. If you do not want a Mesmer to stealth, learn to use reveals.

could tell you to kiss my kitten nier but I am sure it would fall on deaf ears…

Oh and plus why shouldn’t be able to stealth as a defensive measure…do you know how many times thieves do this….fight…stealth….fight…jump through ring to stealth… its crap you guys complained about PU so much but forgot about the bigger stealth picture as a defensive mechanic.

Not trying to highjack the OPs thread but I feel his pain, I havent won a ranked match in two days. Thats somewhere around 0-16 in a two day period in ranked. Before you say get gud, I’ve finished second 14 of 16 time and last twice.

bump, new members still wanted.

As I said in the ad, we are rebuilding. I know that some of our members would do fractals one to two hours after reset if you asked them to.

bump, still looking for members

Guild trying to rebuild after down time. Officer opportunities are available! Below is what we would like to offer new members and what we used to offer members when things were more active. Those who are interested in becoming an officer need experience in one of the following areas, Dungeons, Fractals, Guild Missions or PvP.

We are a PvX guild and do a bit of everything.

What we offer:

a small guild that has potential for its members to have growing/breathing room. Newbie friendly officers that will help you with a question or help you find the answer if needed should a question arise. Our guild runs a lot of havoc/soft target capture but also has done its best to support the commanders from other WvW guilds as well, even zerging with them.

We also do, Dungeons weekly, Fractals, EoTM and feature a weekly guild bounty. Once Heart of Thorns comes out we will also offer Guild Rushes and other guild events. If you want a friendly bunch of people without that pesky guild drama, we offer that. We don’t care what server your on and if you want to transfer to Henge of Denravi we will even try our best to help you do so.

What we Expect:

We expect you to get on and have a good time with us, be active and courage, work well with others. It is that simple. Basically as long as you can behave yourself, enjoy yourself and work with a group of people who want to achieve things We want you!

We do have an inactivity policy where members and officers alike are not supposed to be inactive more than at most two weeks without letting an officer know. We do boot you after a month period if we are not notified before hand of an extended leave.

Rep Requirements:

We only require 50% rep as a requirement to keep an active, fun community. We understand many guilds have a 100% rep requirement or something similar and we aim to be flexible with ours.

We are an international guild, meaning even if your not in the United States, we would still love to have you. Contact atlrising.5134 or Kyimirria.9485 in game for invite!

Join us and help us rebuild before Heart of Thorns! Reply below or Message us today!

Please readd this map, and dry out the water as suggested above,

Yes this will be the fourth time asking people to let it die, I am actually considering complaining to the admins.

Now let this post die because I’m starting to think after trying to kill it off three times now that I need to possibly consider a harassment complaint.

Syn is not a random. It’s Over is not a random, They are consistent finishers in AG, Top 4 easy every week. Instead of being trolls to this post. How about donations for winners of a real Beginner’s tournament?

Fourm admins I will requesting this being locked, its getting stupid now and we all know how toxic this forum is for the community.

Olun, to me any team who can beat a team 500-150, or 500-300 and making frequent trips to the finals even if they are not winning is, most likely too good for AG but I digress this forum posting is starting to bore me. -Yawn-

I am not salty either and Storm and I talked about this and why Syn (Who is forced now to play an ESL tournament by winning AG) was only mid tier and therefore still qualified for AG. I most likely am the weakest link on the last two weeks of tournament play.

I actually do really decent in most Ranked matches so I decided to try out tournaments, That being said I was also doing things yesterday that I do not have to do outside of tournament play ie. Portals which are not something I am accustomed to.

A bunch of people rode me hard yesterday on Storms Twitch for an opinion that I have that they do not agree with, some of those being on Syn (and I knew by their names that they were on Syn).

I am though taking the suggestion to heart and considering making a mid-tier tournament for teams so that someone like Storm is not forced to bump up a team to ESL out of AG before they are ready. No one wants to be a good mid tier team, win a tournament and get destroyed by The Abjured or Radioactive…

Was informed that this was because they have never won AG but consistently place in the top 3 or 4.

I’m also pretty sure Syn lost last week to stay out of ESL.

There comes a point when you must force a team to compete in a higher caliber atmosphere such as ESL instead of letting them rake in gems on a weekly basis.

Why do we still have teams like Syn who register weekly for AG when they are good enough to compete in ESL? Worst yet, the staff of AG knows that these teams enter their tournaments but yet does nothing to disallow their entry. Syn for example could easily make it to second round ESL or further.

nevermind, I looked it up. Well, perhaps my idea has some merit.

I’m pretty sure that only stops you from losing health when down correct?

I was in a pvp match in which I used my signet of humility on a necro to turn them into a moa and disrupt their Death Shroud much like you would a warrior in rampage. While still in moa form the moa turns black and the death shroud bar appears over his head. I was under the impression that this was a skill they could not use while under the influence of Moa.

I’ll be impartial and say maybe he was coming out of the transformation but honestly you would think that you’d suffer some sort of after effect from being transformed into a creature and therefore special abilities like death shroud would not be instantly available to you sort of like your a bit dazed from the experience. I’d argue the same effect on any class so lets not get into Mesmer hate.

That being said, I’d love to see the first issue looked into and the second comment looked into as a possible suggestion of something to add into the game in the future.

On June 23rd, Arena net completely broke a pretty balanced game and created a monster. Burning is extremely overpowered and even 3 stacks can run through a characters entire health pool if unable to cleanse it. Those of us with Condi cleanses have to run multiple traits or skills to cleanse it off because the classes that can apply it are able to basically apply more once we clear it off completely negating any attempt to force them to battle conventionally.

Thieves basically can fill your bar up with cripples, poisons and bleed stacks up to 35, that wipe out any combat experience at all. I had a thief show me them doing this to a golem in the pvp lobby. Not to mention the fact they can stealth hit you from behind with venom and immobilize to effectively two hit you during a match without even breaking a sweat. I should not have to waste two utility slots just to clean off the 6-8 condis that can be applied during a simple 1v1 with thieves, eles, guards or mesmers.

Conditions dont even take into account the toughness or armor on a person and therefore they completely bypass the only defense to damage coming in. It is true that certain classes needed to be brought into line with some of the others, mainly mesmer and necromancer in pvp but there was no need to completely redo the system and calculations to bring these classes up to par with the rest.

Here lies the issue, Arena net sees nothing wrong and says things are working as intended. I want to invite people to post responses with screenshots of the conditions and the damage done by them so that Arena net can finally own up and admit they broke the game leaving it in a worse state than it was pre June 23rd patch.

Never really thought about them as masters of any flame before…hmm. I would still like a few more responses or an official A net response before I say my question is fully answered though.

I am just trying to see if I can get a realistic explanation by arena net without coming across as condescending, but why can a guardian apply burning better than an elementalist which is supposed to have the magic to control elements and has studied the arcane?

I think it is only for the week. I don’t mind moving up and back down once and a while.

Time will tell, pretty sure of such.

TC is pretty stable but the blobs are tiresome. Hoping to get some relief from the omni-blob. To answer your other question We are Beyond The Pact.

Okay so here is the deal my guild which is currently on Tarnished Coast is looking to become part of the Dragonbrand family in late Jan/early Feb. Since most of my members are diehard TC, we are seeking to fill our ranks with those who want to call home; a guild that seeks to remain small 20-30 players that has a leadership team willing to do what it takes to make Dragonbrand even more awesome in WvW, and wants a home that is drama free which is something we offer.

We offer our bodies to do everything possible to make sure Dragonbrand is the best week in and week out, we do it all from running on our own, to running with the zerg and even sentry work.

contact me here or at atlrising.5134 in game with any questions you might have for us before we transfer to your server. Looking forward to running with you!

Beyond the Pact is a guild in the process of rebuilding itself after a large group of its members lost a transfer vote and decided to move servers anyways.
We are a PvX guild and do a bit of everything. however the main focus has shifted recently and become more increasingly WvW. We will do what we must to see Tarnished Coast become the best, by sentrying or roaming, zerging or whatever may be necessary.

Newbie friendly officers that will help you with a question or help you find the answer if needed should a question arise.

We also do, Dungeons weekly, Fractals, EoTM and would like to start guild missions soon!

If you are outside of NA Prime we would still love to have you. Contact atlrising.5134 or Kyimirria.9485 in game for invite!

My small guild is no longer happy with Tier 1 and Tarnished Coast although if some leadership changes happen we might try to stick it out.

Personally I would love to hear from the major players in Yaks Bend, Fort Aspenwood and Dragonbrand telling me about their server’s WvW. I’m not looking for the stuff that you want to tell me to try and sale me to your server, what I seek is the honest truth. Tell me what it is like to roam, what your best hours are, what are your worst hours…Where do you think your server could improve and what you think could change to make your server a better one. Tell me that stuff and you could potentially gain a new Ally.

Still looking for new members.

Now I am all for a 2v1, if it happens during the natural flow of the map. WvW is not meant to be fair and Anet has said such. However, the following example is plain nuts and completely unbalances the game even further than it is unbalanced due to population.

-example-
Un-natural 2v1s, currently like the one that exists on tier 1. There is a guild on Blackgate who sent members over to the other server in the tier, Jade Quarry. The entire time two of these leaders are on, they communicate back and forth and push both servers into combat with the Third. Now I am all for a 2v1 if it occurs in a natural context (i.e. one server attacking a keep and the other noticing the orange swords and deciding, lets go hit the other side and troll the reinforcements.)

Basically by sending members of a Blackgate guild over to Jade Quarry, the parties responsible are sticking their hand in the cookie jar. Now my opinion is they are doing this not only to shift the focus of 2v1s but also to hold up a struggling Jade Quarry so that they can not fall from the tier.

Beyond the Pact is recruiting members of Tarnished Coast for WvW/PvX, Most of our players are on during North American Prime hours. We are currently rebuilding after a large majority went to Sea of Sorrows.
