Guild Wars 2

Meh, now I need to delete my guild called Skill Clickers.

Nike Porphyrogenita.8137:

You can’t get the mats required to make ascended items in WvW? If “having to go outside my chosen game mode for 15 minutes each day to do 3 dynamic events” is your only complaint, I don’t see that as anything but childish whining.

Not everyone likes to roleplay zerglings. Imagine that empyreal fragments were obtainable only in wvw and jumping puzzle. Wouldn’t you complain?

Saulius.8430:

system like that might be nice, but exploitable. new players would be marked by those kitties that we want to mark

also requirements list would get additional ++++ required, on top of 9999+ ap, ping zerk and boobs picture

That actually would be a nice addition.

Gorni.1764:

additional stuff:
Standard Attunement-CD is 15s and can be lowered to 12,5/10,7/9,4s with 10/20/30P in Arcana.

It’s most likely 16s.

Lambent.6375:

1. The only way you’ll be making anywhere near 8g an hour from champ farm is if you sell everything you get a hold of. (mats, lodestones, etc) Base gold is only around 2-3g an hour. Many open world players asked for a way to make gold in open world for a long time, and champ farming does that.

2. Dungeons are more rewarding than champ farming. They both give about the same base gold per an hour, + dungeons give you tokens which can be used to buy equips with exclusive skins to that dungeon, and sometimes very limited stat sets. None of these can be obtained through champ farming. Exotic weapons and soon armor with stats not found in a lot of places in game can be salvaged for a chance of an inscription that can be sold.

I’m not saying dungeons/fractals couldn’t use some more love, but champ farming does not need to be nerfed. forstgorge generally only gives 2-3 gold an hour, and anymore than that depends on how lucky you were, and what you decide to sell. Which is also keeping lodestone prices down atm, which is what a lot of people were asking for, and anet decided to knock out 2 birds with one stone and threw them in with champ boxes, and t6 would probably be higher than it is now without the added supply from champ farming.

How do fractals (especially 40+ levels) compare to champ farming?

Zelyhn.8069:

I think lingering elements does not even work with arcane precision muhahahahahahahaahahahaha

(never tested though)

Then 20/0/0/30/20.

System beaten!

Skill vs reward is non existent.

eisberg.2379:

which is kind of funny, One can get 339-445 Dragonite Ore from doing one 1 of each of the fights/activities that drop them, and the time gating is what 5 days total?

Not everyone prefers to spend hours on pressing one while roleplaying being a zergling.

There are two distinct difference between exotic and ascended gear.

• time-gating
• being forced to complete specific content to acquire it

I can live with the first one.

I destroyed the gate 10+ times with a ram and never got a point towards an achievement. My only point I got was when I hit the gate 3 times with auto-attack. I think it might not work correctly.

Dragonite ore and time gating are the sources of most complains.

Heavy professions are simply too easy to play. You achieve much better results with miniscule effort.

obal.3218:

Fully buffed guard in Arah (prob will never see these numbers )

EXPLOIT!!!

dub-ble spirits.

BAEK.8561:

I play both warrior and ele in WvW. Do you even play both? because you can’t be serious..

For some reason, GS #5 travels longer than dagger air #4. I don’t know if it’s because it’s buggy or what but GS#5 always gets me further than my dagger air #4. Now, comparing cooldowns? You have no argument here.

Dagger fire #3 is absolute crap in terms of distance traveled. Doesn’t even come close to GS #3 whirlwind attack. Not to mention switching between air to fire invokes attunement cooldown, which warriors don’t ever have to worry about.

If you’re invoking ele’s utility skills, like teleport, then you also have to invoke warrior’s utility skills, like bulls charge and banners.

If ele is using dagger, that’s all he has in terms of weapon, unless he’s out of combat. Warriors? they can switch between 2 weapon sets, and their 1h sword #2 also has a big leap.

Nobody comes even close to warriors in terms of mobility. Maybe thieves, which I also play. Elementalists? Not even close.

Rush and Whirlwind gets your further because of swiftness. People that complained that movement impairing conditions didn’t work on RtL forgot that neither did swiftness.

red.2387:

Lingering Elements isn’t bugged. It works. It’s just lame. Soothing Mists refreshes the duration on itself for 5 seconds after you leave Water.

It isn’t bugged when 2 conditions are met at the same time:

• you play something like 10/0/0/30/30
• you consider attunement bonuses as only adept minor traits

Is this a bait? Or perhaps that guy was simply trolling you.

Add this:

• chill affects your “weapon swap”

Luke.2643:

You are probably right, that’s why I decided to go with condition 1st.
8.10

I was surprised that phase 1 and 2 turned out to be just as fast as with the power build..
It was actually fun, even if I’m totally not sure I chose the right build.

Power builds are preferable because they have more modifiers with full team. Plus, lupi has increased armour.

lordkrall.7241:

It is based on Skill.
You simply ignore the fact that it is not based around 1v1.

It is based on spam, not skill.

Paulytnz.7619:

Also poison is a anti healing/regen counter, find it for YOUR class!

Find me a poison on elementalist, guardian and warrior.

Vayne.8563:

I’m pretty sure that Anet would ban if you have evidence that you were kicked at the last boss just to let a guildie in. That’s harrassment or at least griefing.

The only thing that will be done here is OP getting an infraction for “character assassination”.

digiowl.9620:

Not from what i have seen. 25% extra, maybe.

I strongly recommend you and everyone else saying that every boss instagibs to actually check the difference.

Lavadiel.6231:

I dont use heling signet at all, I use surge and mostly to refill adrenaline after evi, not to heal.
Additionally you use signets mostly pasively on all proffesions/builds, an exception here is condi elem with earth XII or rage signet so its not only warior problem… if we even can call using signets pasivelly a problem at all.

Most speedrunners I know use healing signet. Secondly, I don’t recall using signets for their passive effects on mesmer, necro and guardian.

on ele I also use some skills right after they are off cooldown, again on any profesion there are skills that the best time to use is ASAP – its general game design problem, not warrior only, that you dont need to react but just to spam off cooldown skills.

True but skills like arcane wave actually promote using utilities properly.

Could you try using in-built quotation system?

Lavadiel.6231:

1. properly played pve dps GS/axe/x warrior is not one buttons smash. Actually you use all the skills from both weapons and all utils including elite and you do it in the correct time – indeed its not that hard to do and to preserve the proper rotation but it is definitivly not 1 button smash.

You don’t use healing signet and signet of fury at all while fgj and signet of rage are being used on cooldown. Real utility skills.

Guanglai Kangyi.4318:

Ele is probably the strongest class currently in terms of dungeon viability. They are supposedly weak in PvP but I don’t play PvP so I can’t comment on that, but given that the same people who whine about eles being weak in PvP also whine about them being weak in PvE (lol) I’d take that latter portion with a grain of salt.

That’s why every speedrun has at least one ele. And that’s why ele presence in pvp tournaments is known to everyone.

Leave theoretical lands sometimes and apply practice to your theorycrafting.

I’m peaceful like a lamb but those two wants my head.

Ethics.4519:

Wait… what are we doing?

Why do you rip Robert in peace? Hasn’t he got enough?

Imagine playing with friends instead of a PUG.

digiowl.9620:

But why the kitten to we have to go all the way beyond F48 before nearly 2/3 of most professions become useful?!

Good question.

No, it needs to be deleted.

Youkay.5294:

Against warrior: Your mobility skill on daggers is just as good as a warriors, so stop whining about warrior mobility.

Stop reminding us how good it was.

I’ll stop skipping when everyone in champ trains will start to kill every single enemy on their way to the next champ.

10 in arcana, I’m telling you.

Hey Weth, how’s your ele doing?

innocent ouarior.1954:

If the goal is perma fury/25 might you will need EA. If its not noone would waste 30 pts in fire.

I wish it was true.

I would say that certain individuals might be offended with this name. Should be definitely changed at the same time of bugfix/revamp.

Anicetus.1253:

Must have been painful.

Dead dps = no dps.

Because the time is in denominator.

Mesket.5728:

It is… pug 100 players; over 80 will be ermegherdimazerhg (including me why not)

I think we’re pugging differently. I did about 5 arah p3 runs with a friend and no one except us had zerker armour.

hybrid.5027:

I got banned again for questioning Zelyhns french heritage

Mesket.5728:

a plain: zerk > everything is more misinforming than helpful. Taking party set up and trait/utilities choice for granted can be deadly.

Zerk is the average Joe build.

I thought we were beacon of hope, that we were not misguiding new people. Oh.

digiowl.9620:

Champ sadly didn’t specify what he could take two his from with one profession/build, and one hit with another. But i suspect it was not necrid trap and more likely one of the single hit attacks.

Its single hits have a recharge, it will not use it in succession and its projectiles are avoidable just by moving in random patterns, no dodging required.

But I agree that it’s ridiculous, glass cannon should not be instagibbed.

• Disproportional rewards between doing easy, almost no-risk tasks and coordinate plays (champ farm trains vs dungeons).
• Complete 180 turn from “play how you want” to “play how we want”, being pushed to do content one might not enjoy but feels is being forced to in order to get more powerful items (acquisition of ascended gear).
• Lack of substantial influence of control aspect except pulls, e.g. defiance on bosses, especially on high level fractal bosses that have more than 25 stacks of defiance.

The Mexican Cookie.3690:

These days…. one bubble with no stability/renewed focus and it’s RIP in peace

digiowl.9620:

And in the end, that is what keeping you alive. Not being able to take one hit extra.

Now if a proper PVT could take 5+ hits, then it would get interesting. But one extra hit do not really improve the margin for error much.

Tanky guardian can facetank full duration fo necrid trap and still be alive, that’s 5’hits. Glass guardian goes down on the 2nd hit.

edit: this kitten filter filters 5’hits >.<

To reset the instance leader might swap character or simply leave party, kicking is not the only way.

Astralporing.1957:

I have both a zerker and a bunker char, and i run both.

And what classes?

Astralporing.1957:

And the current mechanics make it so the risk is the same for everyone, but the reward is greater for zerkers. Something’s obviously not right.

Is assumption that you don’t run with zerker gear correct?

Guanglai Kangyi.4318:

Warriors have bad endurance regen which matters more than any amount of health or armor. Necromancers can at least get away with lack of endurance since they have a very large, rapidly-refilling health pool but warriors lack ways to refill their health pool once they lose it.

The tankiest PvE classes are probably mesmer, then engineer, then guardian. Warrior is, as always, pretty average at literally everything.

They might have vigour access not as easy as mesmer but they have other tools.

Even if people wouldn’t know who started the instance there should be a fail safe. Kicking instance owner should never be justified.

We could get tanky/supportive meta in pve. But it would be really close to wvw meta. And I shouldn’t need to tell you how wvw-ers love their meta.
