Guild Wars 2

eotm is not wvw !

very nice anet much appreciated we need more though !

july 31st probably then the pre-order starts lol

bump anyone plz

was hoping condi builds wouldnt be so prevalent in wvw but not the case lol the spam is just as bad worst now probably

not true running full zerk ele and i do just fine as long as the servers dont lag but perma 25 stacks of might and quickness might be whats killing you guys lol

yes you are a vet and yes you get another free character slot on top of the one that comes with ultimate. the second character slot is coming just dont know when

that made me LOL
and the core disc dont do much anyways when installing the game mostly downloads the newer content and only gets a little from the discs.

Need a solid condi/support build for running wvw. Mostly condi for good tags but need to support my party but not sure what lines would work best for wvw zerg any help appreciated.

i full full zerk in wvw and im tier 1 and i dont mind it that much but any mistake or if im late to mist form or dodge means my death. also no fields other than the lines on the ground show up in wvw which hurts a light zerk class like myself. I understand ele zerk is devastating but i would hope for a more hp not less. they are also removing vet stacks from wvw which hurts when you hardly have hp at 11.9k hp to start off with. im guessing with the new class balancing they want every ele to be trait-ed into a cantrip build which wont be as hard to do having 3 full lines but still

thank you was wondering

So i purchased it and linked it to my account. see now the game client is gw2 hot and was wondering if i download it or not or does the game auto update whenever the betas start?
sorry if noob question just wondering

So lately i find myself not playing gw2 since the only thing i do is wvw and its become so boring in my tier. I currently reside in CD and before it used to be great but lately its empty. So i decided to change servers.
What i am looking for is a guild that raids often (daily if possible) that is wvw centric guild. I am very active player more so during breaks from school.
LGBT friendly is a + but no mandatory.
A little more about me for zergs almost always play ele but i do necro when i have the urge. NA player here so a guild that raids during NA prime is what I am looking for. In a nut shell looking for an organized ZvZ NA guild since its what im used to.

same here im having crazy delays and my internet is fine and fps is good like always. Hope it fixes soon i cant enjoy wvw at all since i lag out and die

why bother the rewards suck

outmanned used to give state bonuses as we all know they changed that. I thnk they changed it because of roamers wouldnt get a fair fight if one has the outmanned buff and the other doesnt but who knows.

I think merging should be done but I also think for roamers being placed in a higher tier server wouldn’t be fun. So maybe if anet comes of with a map that gives roamers a place to roam merging all the lower tier servers is a great idea. also I agree with a lot of the post on here. I am in CD and we are tier 3. and only during prime time do you see blobs (not us) on the other servers mostly its zergs of 20 or so fighting and capping. and is pretty well rounded in terms or zerging and roaming we have a lot of both.

I know what you mean. the standard PUG zerg is all about capping and getting the karma. Even in CD which is very zvz driven we have those. I suggest getting your guild or changing guild/server to a more pvp driven guild/server. Although kcommanders do help with the points per tick they are quite boring. My guild we raid every day and go for nothing but kills and its really fun and when we are not raiding doing the regular pug zerg is very stale so I know exactly what you mean.

Is my build. Might have others like it in thread but for me the build is good enough to roam with and zerg with. Having lots of support skills that support allies and yourself means you can tank and survive and support. what i really love about this build is its ability to shed off condition. in wvw you face SO many classes that are condition bunker build and you are well suited to take them on. In zergs there are so many aoes and condition thrown out so being tanky at the same time being able to kill is why i love the build. having attunments recharge quickly means i can get the heal from my water attunment as well as the skills and dodge which heals and cleanses you.
just spam all skills and change attunments as soon as they refresh and you will win and survive.
Full disclosure
Build doesn’t win all builds so if you have fire great sword for elite you can get out of the fight quickly and survive. classes i have a hard time with are mesmers btu if you stick close to the mesmer instead of trying to range you will win.

at random times throughout are own gw2 patch history the game would bug out and have a glitch where it showed enemies and allies on the mini map lol surprised they actually put it in the china version at a cost

it seems descent im a noob myself still lol
my only concern is how long can turrets survive in a big zerg fight with lots of aoes getting thrown out

I’ve been looking around in the forums and can’t seem to find one for an engineer. I only wvw and almost always zerg and would want a build that can spread lots of condition to tag people and at the same time survive.

I’ve faced an ele that had diamond skin and i didnt have a chance being condition bunker build he took hardly any damage and I died. I’m sure there are ways to work around it with different sigils or runes or different skill rotations. But lets face it not all builds are viable vs ALL other builds and thats something we all have to deal with. So if you want to be able to kill a diamond skin ele change your build but if you dont want to avoid those kind of eles.

When i first made my necro I saw a build similar to this on the forums but i tweaked it some. The build I saw had precision mixed into the build which I didn’t prefer so i made it full tough/vit/condition. With this build in zerg fights I’m almost always the last to go down, and when it comes to tagging people I can effectively get almost everyone. I use my staff exclusively unless I need to get my sigil stacks on my war-horn or the speed buff from it. The whole point of this build is to spread conditions around and survive. I also love to pop in plague and spam 2 for mass blindness to support a zerg. which really does help a zerg out.
For 1v1 this build is alright I’ve had varied success. against a cleanse build or diamond skin ele you probably won’t win. With full stacks and buff i have about 2k condition damage. But in groups I’m in, the build is pretty decent for small roaming parties since you have great survivability and able to dish out lots of conditions especially bleed and with the duration you get from food/trait/rune can get good stacks on the bleed and pop epidemic to stack them even further. (make sure you are facing target)

ugh what a horrible bug i cant even play without getting 1 hit

Is this post intended for Borlis Pass server? Seems as if they have a zoom-er in every zerg 24/7 especially when they go for keeps as if their huge zerg isn’t enough lol

i totally agree wvw account ranks should be account wide hopefully they do this soon. Ive been wanting to try other classes but im currently rank 201 and the idea of restarting sucks. considering its 10k ranks dont see the big deal

I agree maybe in the beginning precursor being so rare was ok and gave people a goal to work towards. But I know people who have played since the beginning and have never got a precursor, but other people have gotten several.

i thnk the armor skins are ugly been waiting so long for them to add cute themed ones >.>

This is me! <3!!!

Condition damage necro op enough said!

It happened to me a few times ill get the suppression when i wasnt even talking at all then try to and cant >.> a pain if your trying to send an sos to other players to help at a tower

Yeah i think its a bad idea but lets face it oceanic population tend to bandwagon on a few servers and when they face a majority NA server they get all their stuff capped overnight which sucks for them. So i feel your frustration but its another 1 of those things we have to deal with

I dont thnk mist is op at all but i will say this its annoying when you kill them in front of a tower and mist inside lmao

Personally im a commander one of the better ones (i hope) in crystal desert and i see a lot of dumb things lol but im not negative just quick to point out what someone is doing wrong and teaching of course. But im not going to lie the dumb things can get to you after long hours of wvw leading which i do. so recommend they take a break, or even yourself go get a drink and start up again it would help a lot for most people.
for CD i havent seen any negative commanders so might want to come here ^^.

instead taking for granted that arenanet is lying to all of us because they don’t want us happy is a reliable point of view isn’t it?

ah i don’t know how long you’ve been in the forum, but people asked for removal of magic find from gear since the very beginning, every single post with magic find in it was endless pages long with people pro and cons to magic find, and all of them were agreeing that using magic find as a separate stat instead of on gear was a better idea.

now here we are, and before we know how this will change we are already crying, despairing, accusing of conspirations and lies, begging for loos of money etc etc. it is ridiculous but apparently nobody notice!

in all honesty i think the idea of magic find being a separate stat that is account bound is a good idea but lets face it.
It will be no where near the magic find cap we currently have which is 327%.(before achievement bonuses)
to get the next cap of magic find with new system will take months(probably years knowing anet) to achieve.
And for me that’s the biggest problem for me, the amount of time investment I will have to make for a magic find % cap that will be no where near what it is currently.

i am rocking 300% but i don’t think i would really get a precursor from it although i have gotten a precursor with it. I only do wvw where having the best stats don’t matter and a magic find build being a viable option. Anet says they want people to have different builds they want but they continue to nerf builds so the point they are no longer a viable option or even outright removing it. whether you dont thnk its worth it or you dont like the idea of it or even think its flawed isnt the issue. Its the fact that a build i choose i invested in is being removed.

I’m someone who has invested so much to get full magic find gear and with buffs/food/gear i have 300% magic find. I choose magic find because I only do wvw and magic find build really makes sense. I find it HARD TO BELIEVE that any system they come out with will satisfy me when I’m accustom to a certain amount of magic find. Lets face it, the magic find will be no where near the magic find cap someone can get which was 327% before achievement buffs. It’s just another example how the vocal minority gets what they want and the quiet majority will have to adapt to this.

Like I said. You’re getting free magic find by not needing to sacrifice actual stats on gear. People will complain about anything. This change is a ways off. You’ll have plenty of time to enjoy your magic find set before it’s gone forever. But when it’s gone, I’m sure you’ll adapt.

sure it might be free but they never said anything about it being significant

Nope, but a guildie got the hammer precursor from a rank box, not sure which rank. But i’m rank 150 and ive gotten 1 exotic and a few rares. Pve always was and will always be a better way to get rares/exotics.

I am a Shatter/condition damage mesmer with staff/sword/torch and this nerf directly effected me. I wvw almost exclusively and I can’t kill with my current build. Ive gotten so used to the play style to change it would be too painful. My mesmer is the only class I have that I play almost exclusively. I really dont mean to sound like 1 of those people but Im quitting. Tried a burst build with great sword but i found it to be boring compared to my old build. SO SO SO lame
And for the record if mesmers were in fact so op there would be a ton more of them and there’s really not that many i come across

I am a mesmer myself almost exclusively and wvw all the time and im a bit kitten ed at the nerf. I myself am a shatter/condition damage build almost exclusively staff and noticed how little confusion damage does to players. with my build i use to be able to kill now i cant kill fast enough before they get me. I won’t lie i killed most players ive faced but I think mesmer is a wvw class, it’s what they’re built for or at least used to be.
you can easily tell the difference between a clone and the real thing including the down state. Not to mention mesmers severely under powered down state skills. Personally I don’t know if mesmers were op before but ive got killed by all classes especially ones with condition damage. Now this nerf I get killed by everybody i have no dps and will work on changing my build which i loved to something a little for dps friendly.

Thanks for your replies ill have to think about it! A new server is a big decision

Hey, been guildless almost the entire time on gw2 but feeling a little lonely. Looking for an LGBT friendly guild(like you actually have LGBT members!) really looking for normal people who arent all about the game and can actually talk about other stuff.
would like a guild that is small to medium size and has some kind of speaking program(vent, mumble, ect.!)
a little about my i have 2 level 80’s. Mesmer and an Elementalist full exotics on both. My mesmer is a Commander and I almost exclusively play on my mesmer. 22 years old.
Whisper me on Pastey if you are in yaks or post here if your not.
