Guild Wars 2

I just want to point out that the large open area just down the ramps from the start of the EB jumping puzzle would be an AMAZING place for a gvg. The windmill is such incredibly boring terrain. The start of the puzzle has plenty of LOS to play around with, multiple levels, choke points and even water! It becomes even more attractive if the reintroduction of orbs messes with player stats. Finally, there are tons of incredible spots for spectators to perch on to get a bird’s eye view of the action!

IMHO it would incorporate a lot of open field elements that aren’t available in windmill gvgs (something that pushes a lot of guilds away from having interest in them).

Osicat.4139:

@Blehh, The survival in the build is fantastic so no need for more dodges of that reason. Vigeour is up almost 100% in combat so energy regain is good anyway. The condition on clone death is good, but for the build its not a core ability. for some fights they not even apply as enemy mightbe out of range of the clone so I use it as a bonus and a preasure tool

The thing most condition builds need to work for in both playstyle and stats thu is burst, burst to down the enemy who is at 30% hp and start to play defensive. Here might help ALOT. after a while of fighting your ondition dmg get higher and higher and you can with a mix of dicet and non direct dmg burst somone down.

I value this burst more than I value more survival (witch I already ahve alot of) or more preasure.

/Osicat

I’m on board with Blehh here. Battle sigil gives 3x might = 105 condition damage. That’s about +5 hp per tick of bleeding. To me this doesn’t really provide “burst”. I’d rather take the extra dodge roll and blow up a clone. To each their own.

Let’s be honest here. Anet didn’t player test the new runes. When first released, the Perplexity 4/6 bonus proc’d on the player instead of the target! If they tested the runes for more than 30 seconds, there’s no way that bug would have slipped through.

I’m sure something will be done before too long. Perplexity is not absurd as the Torment runes w/o an ICD (so fun while it lasted), but the 6/6 bonus needs either an ICD, stack reduction, or duration reduction.

I’ve been running a very similar build over the last week or so. It’s pretty troll, but a lot of fun.

A couple questions/comments…

Blade training? Phantasmal Fury is much stronger here if you’re running pistol on a condi build. It’s huge for stacking bleeds. Maybe far reaching manipulations if you’re roaming.

Also, why Sigil of Accuracy? My understanding is that illusions are unaffected by it. If that’s true, it doesn’t make sense for a condi build. I’m taking energy/corruption, energy/agony. I suppose earth would work too, but I hate risking an energy proc due to the shared ICD. (If the wiki is wrong about the Sigil of Accuracy, and illusions do benefit from it, I’d probably still go energy/accuracy in favor of earth).

fancy dagger feast.7520:

you realise all this talk on the forums is all hearsay.

The only thing showing what happened last night was 1 screenshot of 20-30 BT in a stack and a video posted by a BT commander. Untill there is a video showing them getting farmed there is no proof. People saying the video is only 3 minutes, while its 3 minutes more then you have showing that BT won.

Show the proof words dont mean anything.

Well said. If there was a gvg going on, surely there was someone streaming/recording that could post a video to back up the SoR forum talk. Let’s see it.

Great video, BT. It’s easy to see why TW & friends were convinced you had over 60 people.

Great vids, brah. My ears are bleeding from all the keyboard clacking of you mindlessly spamming 1 and 2.

Also, stop trying to make “hyrdate” happen. It’s not gonna happen.

Kovu.7560:

I’ve gotten more bags in any one night of this matchup than I did entire weeks against Maguuma (and other servers such as Yaks Bend or Ehmry Bay). The ppt’s a little lacking due to coverage and numbers, but there’s no shortage of good fights. My computer hates T1, though. =(

It’s fun to let an SoR or BG zerg run an entire map, then wipe ‘em all once for +60wxp each. Arguably worth more than pvd’ing an entire map.

The only downside is that roaming doesn’t seem to happen in this tier. I never find one BG or SoR guy by themself. JQ was the same way when we faced them a few weeks back. Does T1 have designated 1v1 areas/times? (Not talking gvg, guild isn’t really into that.)

~ Kovu

Try EB for roaming and do laps around sm, the bls are for guilds. It always gives me a chuckle when people roam on bls. It’s far to easy and nobody is there looking for a 1v1, they want to Zerg in those zones.

EBG is best for roaming, but you’re either ganking players that are running large-group builds, or you’re fighting a thief (I’m exaggerating, but not by much). It gets dull.

Don’t forget to check the JP, too. There’s much more class variety. The entrance can get zergy, but there are good small-man fights to be had.

Iavra.8510:

On top of this is the new ranger stealth:

mesmer (usual stealth-build without Veil)
- decoy: 3s stealth every 40s -> 9s/120s
- prestige: 3s stealth every 30s -> 12s/120s
- Massinvis: 5s stealth every 90s -> ~7s/120s
-> 28s stealth every 120s

ranger
- LB #3: 3s stealth every 12s -> 30s/120s
-> 30s stealth every 120s

We’ll see how the ranger stealth plays out, but keep in mind that a ranger must sit in LB for the entire fight based on your math. Another way to calculate would be to assume rangers will activate the skill once per weapon cycle. That’d be 3s/20s or 18s/120s.

Obviously you can critique that calculation too, but just pointing out it isn’t as simple as looking at skill CDs.

You won’t regret air runes if you’re spending a lot of time in wvw. You get some on demand swiftness without going for broke on swiftness with centaur runes.

The air strike is a great bonus in solo/small-man, too. It’s particularly good vs thieves, a class frequently encountered when roaming in wvw.

No server has consistently ticked below 100 ppt. See the Income Evolution at http://mos.millenium.org/servers/view/33/ Interestingly, BG has the lowest tick on the chart.

Zen.8497:

The SoR players during SEA/Oceanic are awesome but they need more numbers. They deserve to enjoy the game on equal footing with JQ and BG.

Fair enough. Based on this, is it safe to assume that you’re hoping JQ and BG receive EU transfers? Where was this logic when KISS and SONG transferred?

I don’t see how that shows them doing it to recruit more guilds, try again please.

Obviously you’re not playing overtime in order to recruit more guilds. That doesn’t even make sense. As I said, SoR is using overtime as an excuse to continue recruiting:

SoR poster: We need more coverage during Oceanic!
BG poster: But look, your ppt during Oceanic is high!
SoR poster: That’s only because we’re playing overtime! We must recruit moarrr!!!

I’m fine with SoR getting yet another guild. Whatever. It’s just funny that SoR cries “overtime” when someone calls them out on their latest recruitment push. It’s particularly funny because over the last several months SoR incessantly mocked BG for playing overtime.

Edit: Please disregard my post, Azure just cleared things up for me. Apparently the “overtime” SoR pulls is completely different from the overtime found on other servers. SoR players voluntarily pull overtime hours, while players on other servers have it forced upon them. If this seems ludicrous, it’s not…It’s actually quite similar to how SoR “donates” gold to help transferring guilds, while other servers “pay” the gold.

I think we need to recruit guilds for SEA/Oceanic because of 2 reasons, one we are lacking the numbers, two the gameplay during that timezone. The ppt shows it so shouldn’t be no arguing there. We cannot control how the other 2 servers will play so the only thing left is recruiting and strategizing accordingly. There is no conspiracy and anyone who wants to face opponents instead of doors will support it.
Also, SoR has recognized same type of problems and actively helped recruiting guilds to BG and JQ for their weak spots so it would behoove to do the same or at least have the courtesy not to act against it.

It’s Tuesday and the race for first place is within 200 points. Please tell me more about how SoR needs to continue recruiting.

If any guild is looking to transfer up in tiers, they should consider JQ or TC. NOT SoR or BG, regardless of the guild’s timezone.

For months SoR professed a “no overtime” mantra. Whenever BG won, they discredited the victory on account of overtime, claiming we would burnout soon. “SoR would never play overtime just to win!”

Yet now here they are, admittedly playing long, hard, boring and stressful overtime (your words, not mine). Worse still, they’re using it as an excuse to recruit even more guilds. What a joke.

Oh this is the right one here we go.

Great vid! I’m assuming that edit at 0:53 is the WP cycling Jericho was referring to? Hilarious.

I didn’t really mind siege in the puzzle, but trust me, it favors larger groups, not the smaller ones.

Not sure which traps you’re referring to, but it isn’t too hard to get people off the traps. They have cool downs, so if you can bait them to use it, or just dodge them, you should be fine.

Also, for EVERY trap in the puzzle, mesmers have the ability to pull the user off of the trap and down a fall damage-inducing drop for an easy kill.

OP has some really great ideas here that would help with a lot of the wvw cheese builds. Unfortunately devs don’t pay much attention to small-scale wvw balance (or wvw balance at all). Since most of these issues aren’t really relevant in pvp, I doubt you’ll ever see them fixed.

That said, I do really like the idea of upping the cast time on refuge.

Also I, too, don’t agree with revealing a thief when they miss an attack out of stealth, but there should be an initiative penalty.

Finally, not sure if OP’s suggestions are the way to go about it, but obviously in wvw something needs to be done about CnD / BP+HS spam. The BP+HS spam is particularly terrible now that blinds were buffed. Again though, it’s not a big deal in s/tpvp so devs just don’t care.

Master of Timespace.2548:

Zumi.6384:

Yep, this is one of my favorite things to do haha makes thieves so mad.

Also, if they drop those other fields they use to stealth in and out of (I forget the name of the skill), just go stand in them. Chances are the thief will hit you and be de-stealthed

Or you might take a nice 8k burst…

Usually when they’re spamming stealth like that, the fight is at a point where they don’t want to hit you. Rarely do thieves end up bursting me when I’m standing in their fields. The tactic works pretty well.

That said, it is terrible design that the best way to counter perma-stealthing d/p thieves is to voluntarily blind yourself by standing in their black powder field. Couple that with the blind buff from the 6/25 patch, and you’re coming to closer to understanding why this game’s stealth mechanic is so poorly implemented.

Pyroatheist.9031:

Just a bunch of numbers I ran regarding phantasm hp. Helpful for anyone who wants to check them quickly.

Prior to the patch
Normal phantasm base hp: 2080
With trait + SoIll: 6656
Defender base hp: 5400
With trait + SoIll: 17280

Changes in PvE (assuming increasing by 270% equates to a modifier of x3.7)
Base hp: 7696
With trait + SoIll: 13083
Defender base: 19980
With trait +SoIll: 33900

Changes in PvP and WvW (assuming increasing by 55% equates to a modifier of 1.55)
Base hp: 3410
With trait + SoIll: 5797
Defender base: 8370
With trait + SoIll: 14229

How did you get to 3410 for WvW base HP? Wouldn’t the math be 2080*1.55?

That in turn would make the WvW/pvp portion:

Base hp: 3224
With trait + SoIll: 5481

That’s ends up being about a 20% nerf to phantasm hp in wvw/pvp.

(Of course with the SoIll passive fix, it doesn’t seem so bad)

It’s sad that they gave into yet another thief request about temporal curtain/into the void (or maybe they were just listening to that uber leet pvp qq’er on the SOTG video).

That said, temporal curtain is actually receiving a huge buff if you trait it. Anyone who traits into interrupts will love the new into the void. Five stacks of might? Two second immobilize? Three seconds of quickness? That’s fantastic.

Nerf was way too harsh. That said, I’d be surprised if it’s reverted at all. My money is on them leveraging the new torment condition (beyond just scepter 2) to bring back up condi mesmer viability.

I solo roam as a phantasm mes, and it’s true that I’m never very afraid of a warr.

I’m not too familiar with your class, but condi spec warrs tend to do better against me. Either those, or the ones that can outrun me TBH, condition builds of any class tend to fare a lot better against the phantasm mes. Most still die though.

Please stop with the l2strategize posts. You’re all fools if you actually believe some random cap of SM led to a 2v1 on BG for the third consecutive night.

Not qq’ing, just saying it’s simpler than that. SoR needs to attack BG to win, and JQ is looking to collect a few tears after being pummeled last week.

So your saying that no action in WvW has any reprocussions. Every action completed or attempted is independent of any previous actions, as well as future events?

Pretty sure you should never, ever, ever tag up brother…

Wow, that’s some pretty strong extrapolation, brother. You literally just went from “today’s take on SM is not the reason for the 2v1” to “no action in WvW has any reprocussions”.

I think its more of a collective effort we started doing, neither SoR or JQ actually care who has it, so long as BG loses it every night. I actually have a good laugh every night when I check the map to see that JQ or SoR control your entire corner in EB. That BL must be so demoralizing for your militia

Meh, our militia is pretty hardened by now. The nightly 2v1 is more or less expected at this point. I think most of us know it’s really just for the lulz for the SoR and JQ players.

We just do what we can, and pray the RNG gods give us that SoR/BG/not JQ match up. Will be interesting to see how things play out when it happens.

Bottom line: A thief only dies if their ego doesn’t permit them to run away.

So true. Wvw roaming pro-tip: taunt thieves (/wave, or /laugh) when they stealth at low hp. Most thieves have huge 1v1 egos and will turn around to finish the fight or come out of stealth too soon if you taunt them.

Human mesmer with a black afro? I know exactly who you’re talking about. He’s 100% a tele-hacker. I’ve seen him around the T1 EBG puzzle a few times.

I’ve spent a lot of time in the puzzle, and am very familiar with the map’s mechanics. I also main a mesmer. He was hacking. Trolls will be trolls =/

(He just tele-hacks to a stealth well to grab invis, then teleports to a ledge ahead of you. Knocks you off, then repeats.)

SharadSun.3089:

I’m not trolling. WE aren’t trolling (read: most of us). I’m just tired of the lazy, self-entitled attitude in PvP that causes class/metagame stagnation, undue nerfs, and a lot of actual hardship for people who legitimately play the class.

This sounds like an incredibly arrogant and self-entitled attitude to me. I’m equally sick of thieves such as yourself calling people baddies while they run low skill cheese builds that a monkey could learn in two days.

S/tpvp thieves are fairly balanced, but wvw thieves undoubtedly need to be brought down. The skill cap for wvw thieves is just way too low. Hopefully now that Anet is separating pve/wvw balancing, they’ll figure this out. Give them a buff for large scale fights, and bring down their small scale effectiveness.

Back on topic…my solution for perma stealth? Require a target on HS in wvw only. Would slow down d/p cheese builds and force more thieves to stay until a fight’s completion. Perma-stealth is a lot less useful in s/tpvp, so leave it alone there.

I know its hard for some to get but a lot of ppl run group base builds and not solo I know I run a group base warrior spec and my 1 v 1 hurts cause of it. I still fight if I get jumped tho have had lots of good 1v1 with ppl from jq and bg and have sent them invites to my group to give them probs or say gf

This happens to a lot of the more organised WvW guilds, as they all run group synergy builds and solo they are basically, well screwed. Before they removed titles I’d get some duellists from JQ wanting to fight due to the tpvp title, but seriously WvW isn’t the place for 1v1’s as it is designed about what you can do for your team and not by yourself. In following with that a lot of players may have bad builds for duels, because seriously how is my staff healer supposed to win a 1v1 with skilled champion shadow who is a condi thief.

You can’t blame TW, Choo, FoO, KnT or any of the other strong guilds out there for being weak 1v1 – because that isn’t thier focus.

Not to mention wvw (or rather, pve) balance isn’t great for dueling.

Has anyone seen any speed hacks lately? A mesmer in GOF was able to outrun my ranger while I had signet of the hunt active. They were not running staff and would warp about 10 yards forward every 2 or 3 seconds.

If anyone knows about speed hacks, it’s got to be the gw2 records webmaster.

That said, what you’re describing sounds an awful lot like a traited phase retreat combined with blink. Are you sure the mesmer wasn’t running staff as an alternate weapon set?

Big thanks to JQ and BG wvw’ers who made their way to the Obsidium Sanctum last night. Y’all were the best farm since Union Waypoint and a lot more fun.

Nothing better than pulling 10 EG off the cliff to their deaths with a single temporal curtain =D Please do come back again!

Major props to the IRON on EBG for suiciding into our pug zerg over and over. Takes bravery to keep feeding us bags like that.

u forgot to mention the little details, it was 20 vs 70.. :p

details, details. who needs those? =D Seriously though, I think the holiday has given IRON the chance to be put to the test in a few outnumbered fights. Trolling aside, I’m happy they keep bringing it.

It’s about time those pugs showed up. You guys sure could’ve used them the past couple weeks during this time :/

Very true. Guessing it’s a holiday effect.

I take it then you woke up from your dream ?

1) Broadsided while you had catas on Anz
2) Destroyed on the stairs as you tried to save Anz from being flipped
3) Suicided (I don’t know what else to call it) into us while we were attacking Durios
4) 2 seconds ago at Mendon’s

If those didn’t happen, I don’t want to wake up!

Edit: 5) Outside Anz again. This is just getting embarrassing.

I do know that SoR would pull full strength every single day even when we had no chance of winning. With the exception of a week in recent memory where many took a break.

LoL. So when SoR doesn’t show up (if I recall, they were ticking at +0 at one point in the last few weeks), they’re taking a break. But when BG isn’t out in full force, we’re fair weathers? Sounds an awful lot like the donations vs buying guilds argument. Your level of delusion is unreal.
