Guild Wars 2

I consider myself a new to pvp in general. I am only pvp lvl 10, yet xP

If there´d ever be such a teamspeak server (or chat or… whatever), I´d definitely visit it… a lot :P
I´d really appreaciate to get more in contact with the pvp-(not-hotjoin)-community and get some advices on gameplay on certain maps.

I´d love to become better at pvp and to become a better player in general BUT I have no clue how I should do that.
Many people say that I should play some hotjoin but from what I´ve seem I think it´s no good foundation for the (more) serious kind of pvp I soon want to participate in.
Also, I think joining a solo queue is no good, either. I don´t really want to bother more experienced players with my low-level-ness

I really dont mind losing. Sometimes the opposing team is simply better. And personally, I think I can gain more experience from a loss, because I start reflecting on what I did wrong and try to be more careful the next time.

What truly discourages me is that I cant seem to get any pvp-contacts. Seriously, who wants to have a friggin lvl 10 pvp-noob in his friendlist?

But somehow I can´t believe that there are enough(/ any) veterans who truly want to help lower lvl players get into the (pvp)game…

Greetings from a pvp-newbie :P

I am right there with ya. I would really like to get into Tpvp but to be completely honest I do not feel welcomed going in, not knowing all the proper map mechanics, what my role should be on any given map and finding players to group with who will be patient and or teach me the ropes so not to be such a burden to any given team I am a part of whether group or solo queue. Youtube videos, forum advice, and hotjoins will only take you so far, you actually need to get your hands dirty and play Tpvp to get good at it and that does not feel like a welcoming option available for newer pvp’ers.

Let me guess: you are Necro
No worries ther, because you need a ton of expirience to play with random team.
But mostly for Tpvp you should get Signet Of Undeath [in every build!] and be near the mass fights.

So you already made a newbie TPvP guild [EU]?
If so you can invite me to support new necros or just to explain map mechanics.
I know that i am not often in game, so you can add me in skype so i can log in game and help ya

I guess biggest problem is that new pvp player don’t read forum. There is Topic, where are listet players who is actually helping newbies (tpvp,hot join and 1vs1) base’d on theyr class.

Ofcource idea to make guild for pvp players ,where will be some instuctors is great. I would gladly help any new necro (guess there will be not much of them), so if you make EU guild, you can count on me )

Btw, there are a lot of topics where ppl are offering they help in tpvp)

Well, I´m one of these necros as example, as I aknowledged a lot by watching vids and reading the forum and pracitsing a lot I think I´m able to play the class to same degree and actually really love the utility our fears as terrormaner offer in team fights, but what would be like really, really great, would be if we could get on a ts together and you watch me on spectator mode playing and point out the things I´m doing wrong

And good idea with the players helping new players thread, I´ll message them if they want to participate in this.

In EU i would recommend to contact TokyoMurai or Forsaiken (or me,but i am not so good as they),but i didn’t seen them for a long time…

disagree!
DS teleport is very effective for agressive gameplay.
Your idea with teleport without a target ,but with longer cooldown will make necro even worth as it is atm.

Aggresive? Then you haven’t played against good players. The only time you will make it hit a good player is if you stand RIGHT NEXT TO HIM. At all other times this skill is a 100% waste against a good player.

Very funny,

Welcome!. I’ve just posted a sPvP/WvWvW build that (for me) is very noob friendly, and gave me excellent results.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/necromancer/sPvP-WvWvW-TANK-AOE-CONDITION-Build/first#post1962379

It was about PvE Builds:D

ok dude,
necro in PvE is very simple.
There are lot of specs for it. You can make MM [something like 20/0/20/20/20]
Glass cannon [30/30/10/0/0 with wells]
Or classic Condition necro ,but it is not really effective in solo farm.

what?
You mean Hot Join?
Don’t know EU servers are mostly full.

SAtaarcoeny.8476:

srry i wont say anything bad to you mean guys. but there is maybe 10 of you that hate me and i just want to let you know this is a game (that im number 1 at) so just have fun. make teams i might make one soon and we can have good games.

Dude, you are number 1 only on you server [EU/NA] (don’t even care).
If you didn’t notice that most of great teams left the game and you are playng mosty vs ppl who is online once per month (or something like that).

You “I am number one” is like everyone is left the game ,exept you.

In PvP Condi is still most used build.
Rest, dunno :d

Because they where OP, thats why…ranger will be nefr’d as well (i hope).
You have to look at all classes and not pick randomly some.
Atm at least necro can do something in game, so it is better and plz dont say that ele and engi now are unplayable

Rezz.8019:

Agreed. Elitist organized teams have it even easier now, farming all the newbies who will spend hours and hours to get their daily. This is exactly why GW1 PvP died.

If newbies will spend many hours in tpvp, there is a possobility that they will learn something and that a good thing.
I don’t think that in [ele/mesmer/thief] arena, that is call’d hot join ,they will learn something at all. So let noobs play and learn, there is no harm.

well, changing daily won’t change people! Even before TPvP was not part of daily , there were ppl who multi-cap points, rush’d solo svanir and dyed and much other hot join stupit stuff. I will say problem is in hot join, because you are allowed to do there this kind of things or in tutorial (ye,right…there was a great tutorial in pvp) where it should be explain’d that multi-cap ,won’t cap point faster.

don’t know anything about WvW, but PvP you mean hot join or tournament…so if tournament then it is bad idea to run this kind of build, for hot join…well you didnt put any amulet /sigils or runes, so you aint finish’d with build.

here is link to help you with teleporting on 3 map [old tpvp maps]

Hi,
First of all I am sorry for terreble english
Yes , you are right about that Guild Wars 2 is diffrent ,then most MMO RPG’s.
As i understand you are interessted in PvE more ,then in PvP.
Correct me if I’m wrong.
The fastest way to lvl is crafting, still hearts and discovering is good option as well.
There is a lot to do in PvE locations.
My favorite is Jumping Puzzle. They are hidden in almost every location (still not each)
adn they are great…I can even say that it is the best part (at least for me, as i love pvp).

Doing “orange circle” →Dynamic events is important, as when you are max level , you can buy for Karma (you get it from them) full eqquipment, not the best ,but it is good way to start end game.

You can jump right away to pvp as well (just click on 2 sword on top left corner of you screen and go to hearts of the mists)
You will be max level there and you will get all equipment for pvp for free.

Note: Making right build is very important (skills that you take and you traits), but you can reset it in pve for a small cost (pvp for free). So I would recommend you to go to Hearts of the Mists and plan your future build (you can test it on dummies for DMG).

Hope i help you at least a little )

Thats because they have much less state’s. My guess is that the issue is somewhere in in switching between then. Why do they made more State Machiens/ behavior trees if all pets have same basic class? Pointless isn’t it ?!)

If you make Confusion part of Conditions, then Necro Epidemic should work for this Confusion aswell.

You don’t have to, the diffrence is that Necro pets have more states as rangers, but basicly it is the same

All pets have same AI.

My wife likes GW2 and hates pvp :/

Well thats something strange

Everybody know that minions/pets have AI problems, in upcomming patch they have improved it a bit (don’t get your hopes to high).
This is the reason why so many necros is pvp using them.

MaXi. atm tpvp is in not even Alpha state.
Idk what priority A.net have, but i would like at least bit more balance first.
Fixing Solo TPvP. Make options to report quiters in tpvp ,so that they will get ban for some time from it. LFG funktion between all servers and much more.

TheMightyAltroll. I don’t see any point in ranking up and/or glory farming. I don’t even like players who is doing it, becaus most of them are taking monthly OP 1vs1 class and going to hot join . They are mostly low skill and have no idea about tournament and team play.

Sayrir. What do you mean with risk/reward? do you have any risk in PvE?-No (exept losing some gold, but you can easily farm it back). So why should PvP have some risk ? Exept that that no team want to play with you O_o But yes, we need a good rewards for winning tournaments and not just some basic crafting materials.

I know that they just disabled paids for some time to improve them, but from time(december i think it was) when they made 1 map with cost of 1 ticket per player , paid tpvp made no sense. So too many players/teams quit the game, i quit for some months aswell.

it is hard to say atm, because balancing patch is comming.

I think they should add to tPvP gems or gold rewards, as custom server will cost gems and it will be not logical that pve player can rent a server and pvp player can not.

No we are not. Most of people i know want old 3 map based Paid TPvP back with old rewards [gems]. Most of us are not interested in Leaderboard ,because it is bug’d, pointless and gives you nothing.

Easy way :
Create a class with random race(one after other)→ go to hearts of the mists (you can be teleported there from any point in the game) → go to locker and check armor.
You can check you class there aswell, because all skills are open and there is all (pve and pvp armor stats are diffrent)

Phantasm burst?

Protection?

Reflective/Condi reflect?

Stun?

= Phantasm build and Arcane Thievery?

K listen dude. that build is pretty much God tier 1v1 and takes little to no skill to use. Is that bull kitten? … Actually no =D

Ok well maybe a little, best option is to just not fight this 1v1. It’s a bad build in team fights and thats how it’s balanced. I know it seems a little silly but in competitive play it’s not a big deal and unless they are solo queue side point a good majority of mesmers don’t actually run this crap.

The rest of the mesmer builds are pretty strong yes but can be countered pretty well if you know how to out play them. (just don’t be a warrior when you try to do it)

See this guy right here? ^^

He actually acknowledges the facts that are posted and are there.
The guy calling me new to pvp?
That was nothing but a big rambling post with no actual feedback on the build I am referring about.

People who like being OP or just don’t know how to play, will usually defend the class ignorantly.

Dude, don’t be so aggressive
Mesmer is 1on1 OP, but in team fight mesmer is dying from condition pretty fast.
As well as there are class’s that are very bad 1vs1 fights.
The point is that this game was desing’d for team play and not solo, as it was gw1 .

Depends on you connection, I download it on my laptop in about 20 mins [100mbs]. So there is no easy answer for it.
But server are mostly good and it takes not a long time (EU Germany)

Dude, it is very hard to win mesmer in 1on1 battle.

Well i can understand this problem in EU, since we have multi cultuer and no everybody can english.

Basicly you don’t have time do explain tactics to 5 ppl, because you don’t even know build of them. I miss function that you could ping you build in chat like in gw1.
This is action based pvp, so not everyone can play and type at once [like in good quake 2 times]

Personaly I never go alone to tpvp, min. with 4 ppl + TS.

I just feel the ability to be able to duel a player anywhere is a must… I dont want to have to go to a private server every time i want to fight a friend

Whats the point of unbalanced duelling ?

Not all dueling would be unbalanced – and, I find it is the lack of balance sometimes that allows and even forces the player base to take the matter into their own hands, developing sub communities around certain classes. I’ve been a part of some really great sub communities where we knew what was just too powerful, and the consensus agreed against its use. We’re not asking to allow Arena Net to balance the game for us; give us the opportunity, trust us, and we’ll find balance amongs ourselves. Sometimes, dueling is truly a living world of its own. And personally, I prefer the imbalances… They yield great originality and new discoveries sometimes, and it’s just fun for me when things aren’t perfectly balanced.

This game is base’d on teamplay/teamwork – so there are some classes that can beat rest 1vs1 , so that makes no point in duelling (for exapmle mesmer) + in PvE/WvW there are big stats diffrence between players.

“We’re not asking to allow Arena Net to balance the game” – what ?! O_o
I would love to see balance at least between class’s.

" Sometimes, dueling is truly a living world of its own" – you mean Open World PvP? Well this is for children and people who love to destroy fun and peacful pve game for others.

“And personally, I prefer the imbalances… They yield great originality and new discoveries sometimes, and it’s just fun for me when things aren’t perfectly balanced. "
So you are not a PvP person and you don’t like challange. I guess you are one of thous players who take OP class ,because it is easy way just to ruin other people fun.

I don’t usually play pve, but when i do – I want to relax with some jumping puzzle and i deffenetly don’t want that some kid will push me from a cliff, just becaus he thinks it is funny.

Takato, you should just understand the main condition classes like Necro,Engi and Ranger.
Necro can set you a ton of condition if you have tons of boons or if you are standing near someone who have tons of contitions (corruption boon and epidemic)

Here are few link with armor gallery

Best burs class ist and will be thief (medium armor), but good hit rate have many class’s.

They do, I know many from russia in pvp, but i think you are searching in NA .

Sounds like a good idea. too bad i am on EU.

xD sry, thats bit funny.
Accualy as necro you have some troubles with condition removing, specialy in power builds.
If you discripe your situation bit more, I am sure we could explain what was wrong.

Here are lot of great ideas, but I am thinking of something diffrent.
DS Skill 5:
AoE explosion, based on how much DS you have left. More DS you collect, more powerfull it will be.
It could be based on weapons
-Dagger : AoE Damage or Stun
-Axe: AoE Cripple of Chill
etc.

Daecollo.9578:

emon.1863:

Atm this is only Signet that is effective in team tpvp (must have), buffing this signet will be OP.

Powering the passive will not make it OP.

Ofcource it will !
You cannot seperate passive and active signet effect, because it is one skill! It is the same to seperate DS as Extra HP and skills that you can use, then say that DS is to short and we need a buff.

Atm this is only Signet that is effective in team tpvp (must have), buffing this signet will be OP.

Ye, now that is kind of hard. Most of ppl use melee/short range weapons for PvE ,because of better DPS. I would recommend Necromancer or Mesmer.
But I didn’t play’d PvE for very long time, so the tactics and builds have been change there.
With Necro you can play MM and use staff and s/d [it is not really effective atm, but in it is almost patch / rebalancing time]

You can try Conidtion Necro, I play’d WoW just a little so I don’t really know what you want

If you want just to record , you can use Fraps or razer game booster

Hey,
I rebinded skills hotkeys to “Q”,“E”,“Shift” and “Ctrl”.
It works for me)

Amityel.5324:

For people who started necro in tpvp………….delete it till you waste so much time like we did

ok, thats funny.
But i would not delete necro, because as i said before “some people just like to play necro”. They could be really effective . I pesonaly find necro class very interessting to play with.
AND EVERY PATCH THEY ARE REBALANCING ALL CLASS’S. Do you remember how much effective were engi and ranger few month ago ?! So necro could be change in better direction really soon (i hope so).

@Deathgrin : On hotjoin you can play as MM without big trouble, but on most of tpvp
-you will focus’d and die fast (in most of the MM builds)
-you won’t be making same damage as Condi and Power builds
-“some problems with the AI of the minions sometimes” hope it was a joke, because there are huge problems almost all the time. (mostly with bone minions)
-You mostly have problems with mesmers and engis (becaus of turrents and clones bad AI)

If you play agains Bunker ele, they will mosty kill you minions first (but you can kill without problems a noob ele)
