Guild Wars 2

To me it feels the breaking points is about 3 targets anything above makes it rise a lill bit..

we can’t make it to strong tho.. once we know how to use ds we’re gonna be an unstoppable killing machine !

I can understand the pain op is comming from. When you just start this game or just start in spvp or tpvp and don’t have a lot of experience yet things might seem a bit intimidating.

Classes especially some of em and there abilities might seem overpowered. Espcially on a starting necro. Now lets talk about the abilities.

stealthstomping. personally i don’t consider stealthstomping that much worse then blinding or using some other ability to nullify the initial countermove to prolong the fight.. and yes most if not all classes have those mechanics to nullify the blast of guardians or the hammer or lightning of warriors/rangers. earthshield blind etc etc.

Backstab damage : backstab damage is indeed high.. but the key to backstab rogues and i admit you can’t counter it 100% is to know where the rogue is comming if you see a rogue go invis then you know bursti s comming put a fear mark under you.. if thats on cooldown dodge backwardsand make sure to put some distance between him and you.. rogues have a certain amount of time they can remain in stealth with steal they bridge that gap. in front of you and have to get behind you first wich takes another second.. now they got 1 or 2 seconds left in stealth.. if your fear is on cooldown you dodge backwards.. this makes it almost impossible for the rogue to cross the distance to get behind you again in the remaining time he got left.. if hes still in stealth he probably used another of his stealth abilities.. dodge another time backwards and he will pop up.. with 1 of his escape skills on cooldown and his initial burst ability gone.. now your left with a cripled class with his burst disabled and 14k health.. you can probably deal with him now easily.

It seems everyone seem to think that necromancers are the guardisans bane because they got an ability that transofrms all the guardians bufs into conditions well actually they have 2 if you count the well of suffering and the corrupt boon and they have some ability to get some buffs off..

the reality is not a lot of necromancers run with corrupt boon because it does no damage whatsoever and takes up a skill slot.. this is not on a weapon or anything. theres one specific spec thats a condinionmancer necro that can make great use of it.. for the rest its a skill that does no damage and is only good vs one specific class.. how many people in non competitive tpvp groups would take a skill like that.. not a lot thats for sure.

And now the truth.. for certain necromancers guardians are and lets repeat myself here are insanely tough. i run a power necro myself here and the kind that heals every damage they take that i dish out.. and are left with a full health bar after a 2 minute fight where i litarly blew up all my cooldowns (xcept elite).. ther some classes out there that are a great counter to your class.. i dont know or this is meant game mechanic but on a power focused spectral necromancer atm with no noticable way of removing boons from a player except spinal shivers they are one tough nut to crack.. then again ive no problems with guardians with those holy weapons or the ones that are swining 2 handers.. its just the specific bunker kind i have trouble with. thats why i would like a 1 on 1 mode so i can learn how to counter it..

I’m going to simply point out the 1 greatest flaw. You named your movie 2 minutes to midnight and neglected to have iron maiden somewhere in there… for shame!

On a serious note impressive gameplay, length as others have stated a bit much which makes it feel like it drags on a little and the whole ‘montage’ thing was really a waste of space and not entertaining at all even though i could see what you were trying to accomplish I and I’m sure many others simply ended skipping it.

I disagree, I found it pretty entertaining

thanks i know it was maybe a bit over the top but i really wanted to put it in and yea im a great fan of south park myself and the montage song of south park was awesome but it only is like 1 minute long wich wasnt enough time to explain things..

and about the iron maiden thing i really thought about putting that song in if i made it a lill longer it would ve def be in there maybe in the next movie.

very informative write up. much easier to read here and think of some strategies then to go ingame and read every description ^^.

Hi thor rising thanks for the kind words ! And yea i was using the bugged trait from the bloodline i know it doesn’t give back a lot but every lill bit counts, if they actually make it scale better or make it how its supposed to be then it would be awesome yea .

@phearlo i tried conditionmancer too but just waving your sceptre around in the air and see the dots stack is just not my cup of thea. atm im trying out a full spectral build and there’s some potential there too but it will take some time to really master that. there seems to be some really nice combo potential in the spectral department.

Oh and nice vid barti! Good to see another necro holding his/her own in pvp =)

thanks and also for the explaining of the montage part

heh merch thank you for the kind words. I think you might have a point with your last remark.

And yea its a montarge lol, I think I was confused in south park they called it a montage and in rocky too but i guess the good word was a montarge. Thing learned today ! i’m always happy to learn.

I like your review and i’m glad you got the story in the movie there’s a subtle story about it and i think you got it pretty good. skillfully i wouldn’t call myself skilful by any means im no pro player but i learn everyday a lot of classes can be countered if they use there signature moves on another class .. altho pistolwhip is a hard one when you see 15k go in like half a second.. you can’t help but react wrongly . But the heartseeker rogues they go down pretty fast.. hundred blade warriors arent that tough.. and mesmers can be controlled by proper use of wells and life transfer.. the only class that can really give me a hard time constantly are shieldwearing users who.. block a lot of my key crowd control attacks but i just try to find ways around ,
like some people say here.. a good players thinks of strategies a bad player just nags about it. when i first saw a hundred blade warriors totally trash my rogue in 2 seconds i was like.. wow i wanna do that too, then i rolled a while with the warrior and got totally facemelted by a necromancer who basicly just feared and controlled me till i was death with a full hp bar left.. so i thought to myself wow that class is cool i wanna play one of those ;D.

I’m gonna stick with my necro and aspire to be better and have better control tho, necro’s are just a great class imo can’t help but love em.

I can beat all classes and all classes can beat me that’s why i like this game. it’s easy to learn but hard to master, it’s the players that make the difference. i think the biggest mistake i make it that i probably evade to much comming from unreal where dodging is really key its hard to not do it here

Hi people.

I just finished my first ever made pvp movie its about an inward journey to
the dark side.

it’s a bit storybased but includes some pvp too, you have to realise i just learned
sony vegas lke a week ago so the editing isn’t all that great but i really tried hard
to make it a bit storybased with the majority of it pvp.

well let me know what you thought about it took me a good week to make it, it’s
tough getting good footage with no demorec in game and just relying on fraps and
the inflated 4 gig 3 minutes files and hope you got some workable pieces to put
in your movie.

overall i’m pretty happy with it.

let me know what you thought about it !

(since its mostly about necros i post it in the necro section too i won’t post anywhere else except for these 2 sections)
