Guild Wars 2

Littlefeather.8623:

3-5 man teams: Some people are a little bit selfless and choose not to help their server I guess.

Lower tier fighting: can your guild leader have 20-30 people on him and out of a 45 min non stop battle (using siege, terrain, flanking, stealth, quick reaction) wipe a non stop 60 man force (T3 Yaks bend)? Which by the way was so much fun, and so many loot bags !

Can your commanders, while outnumbered, wipe away or even push back enemy zergs in T2?

Have any idea how much teamwork and organization this takes? Well not as much as lower tiers need I’ll say that much.

We probably can actually and ya know what we keep getting better

The honest answer is there is no most op class if you play it well people will qq your op like how I play my engi so much q.q over it from people I go against. Pick something l2p it and you will be op

Score update plox can’t wait to be back looking forward to the fights

arrow cart or whatever you l2p no faceroll to win. Here bro

Lower tiers have the best fights come visit us some time even our large scale fights

The list of y not is miles long q times skill lag server stacking server pride perfer small mans want to be known not just another zergling server pride guild retention… ummmmm want too help make the server etc…etc…

Back on topic now necros will be the next flavor of the month

Kontrolle.3514:

Go ahead, you need to be on EU Server for that. But for the rest contact me ingame and stop trying to show you pathethikittentle kitten here in this discussion. Youre quite ridicoulus.

Your the one kittening I was having intelligent conversations till you started flashing your kitten

Who are you wiping now? Lol I’m in japan atm oh and who are you never heardo you and don’t have a realm in ur sig

Why engis are called bad is cuz no one knows how to properly build them

People think engis are bad, because so few use them. Seeing one In wvw is like spotting an exotic animal. They’re excellent 1v1. The issue with them in Zerg vs Zerg is grenades are a liability when your opponents use a lot of retaliation. I see more engis slay themselves than get killed by that said Zerg.

True why I started running bomb kitten or support still great builds just rely a lot upon kits and people don’t like kits

Why engis are called bad is cuz no one knows how to properly build them

Until you meet a good bomb or nade engi … or support engi

CrazyDuck.4610:

It’s very good because of the wells/death shroud AOE vulnerability stacking/crits. And staff does nice damage because of crit dmg so it is very viable for large zergs. You just need to be a little more “aggressive” and strip boons/stun lock/take out weaker ones aswell in melee range. It’s a very hard build to play/master I have to admit.

Its just my play style in the end I juggermancer cuz I run into the blob plop retal drop 2 wells and 2 poison fields and weakness before popping plague form.. so this has just become a conversation of opinions so meh

CrazyDuck.4610:

No I totally agree that zerker is MUCH harder to use, this is why many people don’t do it. But conditions are just SO weak and easily curable that they are only good for tagging people to get the xp, I have never died from a condition necro it just isn’t that great but 10X easier to use for sure.

I can see zerker for roaming but in a zvz id personally never use it I’ve tried 3 builds with it just doesn’t work as well in gvg as my juggermancer build btw these are personalopinions based on my playstyle soo if it works well for u use it

Gc anything is eww so easy to counter why I said knights but jugger mancer is where its at 4 fields plus retal and weakness and plague form for mass blind

Nymph of Meliai.6739:

mesmers are fine by me… the nerf barely if at all affected the two builds I use. Both my solo glass canon build and my zerg build were untouched by the nerf.

As for the OP… best class now is any one who can use an arrow cart

Zerker on a necro eww maybe knights since well build is one of the best spec and doesn’t run off conditions juggermancer is honestly best necro spec…

Gab Superstar.4059:

Korsbaek.9803:

you can also get in a guild with people that knows there class and learn to counter bigger numbers it works;)

Not really.

Your obviously doing it wrong come face a t7 guild we are pretty kitten good at killing larger groups then us

Only a wvw player knows what wvw actually means

You don’t want zergs go spvp or custom arena its wvw meant to be large scale battles even the name implies its not gvg or an arena or something its world vs world

Only a wvw player has a mini fridge or a coffee pot next to their computer so they don’t have to get up on reset night

You were barraging a zerg full of people with retal? well jim we found the problem that’s not retals fault doesn’t mean its broken lol that’s like saying aoe is op cuz you stood in it

Score update for someone stuck in japan?

KStudios.2850:

Only a WvW player gets pulled over by a cop, shakes his head and says, “I should’ve waypointed out.”

Only a WvW player puts that box of mac and cheese back on the shelf at the store because it lacks a sufficient precision boost.

Only a WvW player hears someone knock on their front door and laments, “kitten… now it’s contested.”

Lol that’s great

Cuz it already exists somewhere else and is common knowledge 50% confusion 33% retaliation

BrockMcCleery.9562:

That damage you state is an exageration. I have a ranger and use longbow and sure, it hurts, but maybe 8k-10k max. You must have been hit by something else. The longbow AOE timer is long so you just heal and use it again. Retaliation can be troublesome but usually only in big zerg fights where it is tough to keep track of where the damage is coming from. Especially when suffering from skill lag.

That said I would change Retaliation and Confusion, and not how ANET is doing it. For instance, Retaliation is a fixed amount no matter how much or how little damage you do (I assume because it saves on processing). It’d be much better if it was a percent of the damage taken * some power modifier.
Confusion is just dumb, you never want to discourage ability use. My only re-think on this is that maybe it should cause a skill ‘fumble’ (not all onboard on this, just something to consider). Ona fumble, the weapon skill doesn’t fire but you get the timer. The chance to fumble could be based on how many stacks you have, with 5 stacks the max (many further changes would be needed). And by skills I mean weapon skills, not selected skills. A weapon skill failure just makes you auto-attack. You should always be able to use your heal and selected abilities. Its basically a randomized dps reduction until you remove it.

Weakness already exists really op for mitigation but fairly unknown ontop of the endurance recharge reduction has a chance to cause a reduced damage attack

Retaliation only had a33% nerf btw

Kryank.8069:

Only a WvW player has no idea what this magical ‘shatter is up’ means in guild chat,
Only a WvW player has a blurred map for every PvE waypoint linked in Guild Chat.

Oh that feeling when trying to help with trek.. only a wvw player knows why necros are op

t7 loves their zvz what you talking bout as well as some small man

AndrewSX.3794:

In a zerg/gvg perspective:

OvertheTop tier:
-War/Guard.
Top tier:
-Ele/Mes.
Good:
-Nec/Engi.
Bad:
-Thief
Very bad:
-Ranger.

If we account roaming, Thief gets to the top. Engi/Ele/Mes get better too, while War/Guard are a bit less powerful.

Engi are good in groups necros op jus gotta go juggerwell spec engi need to be made or bombkitten spec or even elixer spec for support

Life.1576:

frostshade.3617:

Ele nerf wasn’t that big lol

It was significantly high to break the the class, and if you say so then you have not played an elementalist, before and after the patch especially a staff elementalist.
And to those that say eles are still op – just lol
Mobility and survivability is out of the picture…..

Did you read my sig?

You were d/d weren’t you?

Daemonne.5018:

Only a WvW player, with a job, checks the same thread every 30 – 60 minutes in hopes of a “Score Update” while at work.

Lol so true only a wvw player would be on forums while on vacation in japan..

Ele nerf wasn’t that big lol

Only a wvw player knows no walls no problem

Tallis.5607:

SniffyCube.6107:

looking to move to a server anywhere from a tier 5 to tier 7

Your guild will be the biggest WvW guild BY FAR in those tiers.

Even the T2 servers have very few WvW guilds that have 15 people online 24 hours a day.

If you go to any of these lower tiers, you will be bored to death pretty soon, I think.

Not really true I mean the 24h a day yes but id bet os and zos can field close to their numbers and we are t7

Atherakhia.4086:

I’m surprised by these lists…

Thieves #1? They don’t offer anything to the zerg (and that’s all WvW is these days). They make reasonably good scouts, but no better than Rangers (unless you honestly think a 100% stealth thief is scouting in stealth at a snails pace). Really outside of roaming the thief doesn’t do much of anything except take small camps or keep swords up on gates which the Ranger can do just as well.

Mesmers are downranked? I know confusion was nerfed and all, but do you find most mesmers running confusion builds outside of when they’re roaming and dueling? Most I run into are running full tank non-condition builds or shatter.

And Eles are somehow downranked when 99.9% of them ran staff in zergs? They still bring all the fields which zergs rely on.

I’d expect the list to look closer to this:

Guardian
Ele
Mesmer
Necro
Warrior
Ranger
Thief
Engineer

Warrior and Ranger value is kind of dependent if you put more value in AE stuns or Water field I suppose. Engineers are hard to kill and provide blasts but little else but they could swap with thief too.

Engis actually have great support skills as well as good cc when built properly they can provide amazing support for your melee

Always forgeti have that on started playing my necro and engi a lot lol so it tends to not effect me

Necros and engis still underrated though they are great when used right

naphack.9346:

You don’t need any hacks to do this.
Dragons Tooth cast without a target will appear at max range in front of you… Regardless of whether there is a wall in between or whatever.
If there is a wall in between, it will spawn behind the wall, at exactly max range from your position, drop down and kill stuff.
Even if you don’t have the siege selected, all, you have to do is hug the wall and spam DT while walking around till you hit “something”.
Then you know the position of the siege and can proceed to rain down death on it.

(I’m by no means an ele, so Don’t take my word for it)

It actually perfers to create a target out of a nearby player but when none are around that is what happens

sostronk.8167:

Sharpoon.8197:

All that picture shows is that most people have no clue about proper siege placement. You can place defensive siege at many spots where it is out of range of Dragon’s Tooth. This is a “get good” situation.

There isn’t a single spot in the tower that cannot be targetted by an elemantalist with a zoom hack and can also be used as a position to fire on the gate. I assure you there are plenty of players blatantly using camera hacks right now. I run into them almost every day. Sorry, but this is a “know what your talking about before you talk”situation.

You my friend are an example of gumin where that blueprint is placed
Its extremely easy to target if you just back off the wall and hold ctrl then you target ctrl t and never lose it… and dragons tooth doesn’t work off of los soo… you could also wall hug hit your dt and with a clump of people that close to the blueprint it will target one of them and splash it

cafard.8953:

Well, i’m not generally doing this, but you could do worse than moving to <INSERT SERVER NAME HERE>.

We have a healthy, friendly and very skilled community, very little queues in your time-zone, and you would be welcome with lots of <GOLD/PRESENTS/KISSES>. Our community is widely acknowledged as one of the best in <EU/NA/TEH INTERNETZ> and all our opponents agree that they wish they were us. We fight our opposition using our <TEAMWORK/COORDINATION/MAD SKILLZ> even though all they can do in return is <ZERG/BLOB>. We never do that because we’re special and, dare i say, pretty unique in the entire GW2 server ecosystem. If we only ever lose a matchup, it’s because of such <UNFAIR TACTICS/CHEATS> as <SPEEDHAX/PVDOOR>. We are also home to <INSERT RANDOM GUILD TAGS YOUR MAN NEVER HEARD OF> whose <BROTHER-IN-ARMS/BFF/SIDEKICK> you would have the chance to become.

Now i hope you find a suitable home, and wouldn’t want to feel pushy, so feel free to go wherever suits your guild best. In my opinion, that would just happen to be <INSERT SERVER NAME HERE>.

Bro you forgot to mention the cookie tacos

Nsp could always use more people for our community we have cookie tacos here but that’s all I’ll say

Dragons tooth requires no los its not supposed too its how it works hpw he targeted the seige he targeted it before running to the wall or had someone back from the wall group target it for him

Guard necro ele engi mesmer then the rest

You do get money for defending not because you clsimed though and the buffs you can run is the main reason to claim

Watching this week play out and not being able to take part is so torturous looks like an amazing match up that I’m glad to see hopefully is still that way in 2 weeks when I get back

Look at na t7 matchup right now.. that’s what I would call balanced and many other tiers are fairly similar in balance… upsetting the balance with a reset might put a t8 vs any t1-3 do you think the t8 server would enjoy that just a small example

T7 is full of counter zerg groups really t7. Is really well played out atm

VOLKON.1290:

Daemonne.5018:

My take on rams is they need to be upgraded to have overhead protection for the Ram and Operator only. This would not deflect Oil though. Rams would need to be taken down by oil or from on the ground attacks (ranged and/or melee)

So effectively you’d make zergs with rams completely unstoppable.

How is this a good idea?

But you have to carry these rams with 6 people who only have 20% movement speed

Score update please?
