Guild Wars 2

Blix.8021:

the same reason everyone else has to spec to survive a random glass thief 2 shotting them

Winner winner chicken dinner.

I was messing around with a similar build today… 30/10/30/0/0. Rabid ammy, Runes of the Pack (ikr??), sword/shield, mace/sword. Distracting strikes was nice, but it was so much fun having a build where you’re in their face with decent melee dps/control, and conditions are just appearing on them as if by magic.

I am not seeing the heal sig as OP, 400 HP per second only equates to 8000hp in 20 sec.

ONLY 8000hp in 20 sec? ONLY? REALLY?

Show me another heal in this game that does 8k every 20 seconds.

You can’t because there isn’t one. Healing signet has the highest HPS of any heal in the game and you don’t even have to use it. Completely broken and overpowered.

HPS isn’t everything. It’s balanced around it’s low active heal and longish CD. It was meant to give warriors the sustain they had been lacking. My main is a mesmer, so I should know all about OP right? Healing sig is very good, but it’s not OP.

Also, in terms of HPS you should consider the overall HPS that the prof/build has access too. Lots of profs have 2-3 ways of stacking different types of regen/hps and have just as much sustain avail as a war.

GODFORBID warriors have a single build that makes ppl not want to be in melee range.

They’re still good. I never got used to the celerity change and the longer CD’s, but I finally just got sick of the kitten poor mobility. Feel more effective as a warrior these days o.O

dovrak.4376:

How much love do they need? They can stunlock you forever, have good condi removal, selfhealing, and large hp pool.
They’re slowly becoming the new necro, aoe spam -> cc spam.

Shhhh, more buffs are clearly needed

The condi wipe is one pulse and the boons are short duration. It’s fine. Lyssa runes are all that make some of the low CD elites worth using coughMassInviscough

I’d much rather they take a look at some of the less used runes and see how to fix/buff them.

Gmtsai.6349:

IMO, skull crack is over-estimated, and it only can pressure a bad player that didn’t get used to it. (Nerco who did not bring any stun-breakers or thief who spam their shadow-step for no reason.)

I really hope everyone keeps thinking this…

Kwll.1468:

A-net doesn’t know how to balance classes properly so they have to constantly add cheese to classes they feel are underpowered. Its called the easy way out.

You think classes should be balanced, it’s called not knowing what the kitten you’re talking about

JonPeters.5630:

I’ll bring it up when I get back, although I know we haven’t explored it much and there will be some issues.

FYI – most of us would rather have you guys working on just about anything else

Stay at range (of them and your teammates, epidemic), let your clones hit their marks. A well timed null field or mass invis with lyssa runes can win the fight. Basically I just try to drop some phants on them and stay out of their aoe.

If they get the jump on you or manage to land a cc/condi combo, blow whatever cd’s you have to and just try to reset the fight.

trooper.2650:

After so many builds I realized I cannot do without Deceptive Evasion (clone on dodge). When playing without it I feel like naked…
To me it has become a compulsory talent in any pvp build and I do not like this much because it tunnels me in one direction.
Don’t take me wrong, the talent is good, maybe too good! Played it in conjunction with any form of cloaking it really drives not expert players crazy, and may help survival vs advanced players.

How many of you area actually doing pvp in any form, decided not to take this talent, feel are doing well and decided they can do without it? Just a curiosity to see if I too should make the step not to take this talent and never look back again.

I always take it. ALWAYS.

idk, every other prof feels kitten to me.

awww, temple is the only map I like. No mobs, less gimmicky.

Iavra.8510:

Leave it as is it currently. Clones can be spammed and most phantasms got decent cds, too. Just don’t shatter when you don’t want your phantasms to die.

This. Rather they work on our many bugs than changing core mechanics which aren’t broken. If Phantasms didn’t die when their target died they’d have to adjust their CD’s accordingly. I like things how they are. The replacement logic is fine. The choice between keeping phants and shattering is fine.

DuckDuckBOOM.4097:

Your missing the fact that it also used to never blind. Enemies cleaving through several chaos armor clones greatly increase that 33% blind proc.

Edit: Chaos armor from combo finishers also never procced protection or blind at all.

Yeah, have you guys actually played with this HORRIBLE new chaos armor? I was complaining too, until I tried it.

because we’re all tired of cap and hold

Another reason the scoring system needs to be revamped …

I hope this doesn’t come off poorly or in the wrong context … but if players feel the need to create a personal game mode using custom arenas (more power to you!) to have more fun with the scoring system in this game, as well as trying to advance their ranks … then something is horribly wrong with the system itself as it seems to be able to do more harm than good.

You are 100% correct. The system is very broken. I hope many people start to utilize these glory grind servers and it forces ANet to revisit things.

Easy fix: award rank points for just about everything but kills. Kills should earn glory only.

SO many whiners. just because it has a little fps feel to it doesn’t mean anyone is trying to make your mmo into a fps. Chill francis.

I do think instant death mechanics are stupid in pvp. However, they’re 1000x better than having mobs in pvp.

When you fall, you should fall into the cannon room (it should be larger of course). So, do you kill them on point, or knock them right to your support? That would be some fun carnage imo.

It reminds me of Quake III. Just need a rocket launcher. Too bad there’s no charzooka in pvp ;_;

Serhend.6382:

Get a condi build, use scepter #2, apply 8k torment on block, use diversion, cast moa, let it run and die. Win.

Or… Power build. Mass invis, summon phantasms. Win.
:)

GS is by far our best ranged weapon, so for WvW zapping/mobility I usually go: 20/20/0/30/0. GS and sword/focus. Pickup shattered conditions, warden’s feedback and compounding celerity (or glamour cd).

While not 100% ranged, the sword/focus combo is so boss in wvw, esp with traited focus.

It requires los and can be evaded/blocked etc, so you really do need to be careful about how/when you use it.

One of the many reasons I love mass invis. Far more reliable.

Too lazy to switch accounts, but this is Sizzap. You’ve probly seen me in hotjoin

After hundreds of hours and over 2,000 games as mesmer, I had come up with a build completely my own and non-cookie cutter. It was probably a little OP in terms of survivability vs. DPS, but it amazes me that just about every single nerf hurts my build, considering no one else ran it. FML.

I’ve found several new builds that are equally powerful. I can adapt. That’s not the point. The point is that I don’t know if I care enough to adapt. I liked my playstyle so much, it was so me, that I might be done with this. Not this prof, the game. No other prof really caught my eye.

Way to go, totally nerfing EVERYONE’s build because of one OP build. GG RTARDS. :P

Oh god, pleeeease this. It’s like reading text off a 60watt bulb.
