Guild Wars 2

Maybe its cause ive came from many many previous mmos, but this game has some of the shortest CC ive ever seen in an mmo. So it seems fine to me.

Its only in heart of the mists

Rampager terrible for s/d

League of legends is more popular because it is more balanced (lol) and because the skill cap is much much much higher

If youre resetting the fight over and over then all they are doing is wasting time while the enemy wins. Stealth is a burden in spvp. A complete liability

Decently entertaning, thats whats important. Your other thief friend kind of detracted from the overall enjoyment. Two thieves bursting one target kind of takes away from the outnumbered feel. Id like to see you do some spvp. Mostly cause ive played my thief almost exclusively in wvw and ive been doing a lot of spvp lately, and while fun im findinga hard time looking for a build that doesnt instantly die to a condi bomb. Because the whole Sa line is pretty worthless there

Ive noticed a lot of necros just think they can tank everything too. Why not dodge if you have it and it will help you. Most are just used to facerolling is why, but they are the bad ones

Ive never ran into one but the last thing id do is quit the game like some of you are suggesting. That just screams cry baby. Or a weak will, letting one guy let hundreds of game time hours go to waste. Must be easily bullied in rl

Thatd be sick. I know it was just an example but that second team with jaded quarry sos and henge would be SO SO SO stacked.

Such haters today lol

The good metas? Lol wtf. L2meta properly pls.

Hmmm idk man. Thats a tough statememt to completely agree with. While probably not on top of the food chain they are least middle of the pack in terms of balance. I also thinkpvp has become more of a “condi haven” than a “stun haven” and necros are one of the best at dishing them out.

What im thinking is that the 6 month hiatus kind of made you have a lack of knowledge of the game and the “metagame”. The standard and what to expect each class to bring to the table, because honestly necro is not by far the weakest class. Its actually far from it

Imagine a thief warrior hahaha.

Haha I think that’s jatt as is riotjatt from league of legends

Mmmm it could work. Maybe mace/shield greatsword? I only say greatsword because ifyoi want to roam youll need some sort of mobility

Awesome 1k backstab….

I think its pointless on d/d build. What are you going to do heartseeker faster?

Definitely a guy playing a girl character :p

They just need stomping to be faster than two people ressing that individual. They are downed, their chances of survival should be slim.

I agree. If you can accept that the game was meant for casual players and not meant to be competitive then one can learn to live with it.

After a good long wvw session I can honestly say it isnt so bad. There are some classes with particular builds (condi engis pu mesmers) that are a real kitten to fight but honestly all classes need some counter and as a thief we get the luxury of picking our fights.

I did notice I couldnt do jack to a pure tank gaurdian though. That was kind of sad.

This is terrible. But I havent noticed very high numbers on me either…

Blnt has some good players. Enjoyed the video

Only people complaining about queue times are the people that bandwagoned to the top servers to make it even more lopsided than it already is. And people saying it would screw up the community and what not dont even realize that the communities on all the other servers have been kittened up since everyone has been able to stack onto three servers. This mmo has a huge lack pf community imo. You cant even see the names of people youre fighting, you can switch servers whenever you want to ride t1’s coat tails. Idk if people are ignorant of the issues at hand or what. I dont think people realize how dead some servers are. T1 calls "small ""havok"" groups" what t7-8 call huge imba blobs.

T1’s “community” is made up of everyone else original community. I for one think the total amount should be decreased but by spme arbritary number that is “balanced”. Th argument that it would split zergs is a weak one though imo. Its the most efficient way and it will stay like that until anet changes the wvw mechanics. That will probably never happen.

I wouldnt get my hopes up

Who doesnt play for a whole year but still reads the forums…

Also a tip keep rocket boots on your tool bar lol. You probably have watched yishis play his engj…and go with 3 kits but I honestly dont know how he does it without rocket boots. That being said if you havent watches him you should check it out. Yishis engineer. He explains extremely well

I went from thief to engi as well, I use a 2 kit condi build and they are a lot harder to manage than a thief for sure lol. The learning curve isnt too bad but coming from a thief it is there. Sustain is so so. Shadow arts thieves have better condi removal and sustain. Youll also soon realize while roaming you cant escape getting ganked or zergs nearly as well. Engi I feel like is more rewarding and has a higher skill cap

I enjoyed it. You made it look OP. Telling people they are bad isnt very classy, especially as a thief in wvw lol. Still great build and play

My best friend and cousin is a pu mesmer and I can tell you it is the ultimate cheese and that all these guys are right in that you can literally not die if you dont engage lol. They do very little damage to someone who doesnt fight back. Its kind of a depressing build imo.

The only problem with having to hit something with rush is that it bugs out ALOT. Rarely does the hit go off like you want it. That being said I propose an idea. What if its on a longer CD but hitting enemies or mobs with skills reduces the cool down by a second or some arbritary number. If you ever have played league of legends, think ryze/shyvana/skarner. Makes them want to actively engage rather then use it to run and imo thats what a true warrior should represent

Hello I use mostly all dire gear with a few rabid jewels to proc incendiary powder and bleeds. I use the same exact 30/10/0/20/10 set up except withoit grenadier, for utilities I use bomb kit rocket boots and tool kit and I do fairly well against all classes really! I sometimes have problems with condibombing necros, and sometimes against eles (mostly only when icant get my condis to stick on them). Other than that I really like the class and its balance and its a nice switch up from my thief. I think they are right in the middle of the pack in terms of power and balance

In my opinion I think its because its associated with high stealth uptime builds and a lot of people despise stealth. Then there are those who have used itfor the better part of a year and grew bored and wanted to try something different.

That being said I dont find anything wrong with shadow arts. I believe in using whatever advantage (advantage being arguable) available to win those outnumbered fights. some people think its easy mode idk.

Hmm I switched over to engi as well. I feel like its a trend im noticing

You should take a look at yishis’ engi pvp vids. hes really good at explaining his actions and his reasoning plus he also started out as a thief.

Hello first post ever just to reply to you lol. I just recently started messing around with my ranger as well and I can tell you axe/dagger sword/torch with apothecary everything pretty much (im sure you can adjust whatever you like) is amazing. Go 0/0/30/30/10 getting the shout cd recharge 20% faster trait in bm and the natures magic trait that gives yyou swiftness and regen everytime you shout. Proceed to use the shout gaurd! And you have perma swiftness and regeneration. Theres more to the build but I found that the most interesting and it really does work well.

Also I use runes of the undead with the condition duration food with condi dmg crysals which im sure is prettt standard. Im sure the runes can be altered to your needs.
