Guild Wars 2

necro is the only class in the game that can pick traits and utilities to give them favorability in any match-up while still having a viable build.

any Guard — POC, corrupt boon and greater marks
any Warrior — same as guard
Engi — well of power and plague signet
any Thief — signet of spite and reaper’s protection
d/d Ele — POC and corrupt boon

and on and on…

Necro is insane in 1v1s it just require good positioning and dodge management. They are just a terrible class when it comes to dealing with outnumbered fights, every other class has some way to escape or sustain themselves. Necro just needs a coordinated team that can call numbers and a peel for the necro.

cymerdown.4103:

Agreed, if your team is heavy roaming, Hizzy Brizzy is much worse. The squishier the team, the less effective allied healing is and the more tanky you need to be since nobody else can stand on point. Also the more skirmishing your team does, the less effective melee range healing is.

I have found getting breezy allows you to turn a hambow or d/d ele into a full fledged bunker while you can patiently sit off to the side and use your CDs more supportivly. It is also good for moving, even squishy, teammates out of executioner or bolt to the heart range.

idk if I may just be biased because saying, “I am getting breezy” in TS is too much fun.

Lordrosicky.5813:

Guardian shout build been OP for about 3 years.

I bet you are one of those necros who dies 1v1 to bunker guards. Those make my day.

cymerdown.4103:

Hey guys, I was thinking of an amicable solution for the “BLU problem” , which is the conflict being caused by the fact that of all people, BLU by far is the most deserving person from NA (and the rest of the world, for that matter) to travel to this tournament, but not in contention for most deserving players. Here’s my proposal: BLU offers to drop out of the running, in exchange, I will open a crowd source fund to pay for his plane ticket and hotel room for the weekend. I will put 500 USD into this fund, and depend on the rest of the NA and EU communities to help out with the balance. If the support for BLU is really there, it should be no problem coming up with the 1.5k or so remaining dollars to get him to Germany, and as a shoutcaster like he should be, not as a player. Time to put our money where our mouths are and see exactly how much everyone wants to see BLU shoutcast this.

I don’t have much but I would put money towards that. Tell me when you get it set up.

I am just curious about your opinion on hammer to provide more offensive support through CC.

Thanks for the tiny guide. I hope you go to gamescom and we can see some awesome guardian play.

you are not an “all-star” but you deserve to go and shoutcast, while Anet bows at your feet for keeping the community alive.

P.S. I voted for blu because I would rather have him there than anyone in the game

Why is blu not just being flown out?

He has done more work than anyone else in the community and deserves it more than anyone. At the same time he is not a top tier player like the others on the list and should not be playing in an “All Stars” competition, he is a caster not a player and we do not want the casting mess that was pax.

solo que is a land of high skill, builds that require actively reacting to passive effects rein supreme:

- Sword dagger thieves for calculating their next fire and air procs as they counter mesmers by killing clones.

- Spirit ranger by using proper positioning and waiting for the right moment to use other shortbow skills

- Minion mancers for stacking their immobs expertly with their pets and dagger to finish off people in a fight of pure skill.

- Turret rifle engis for using next level positioning to land every knockback and control the point.

- Condi warriors for obviously counting dodges and timing skills like impale and pin-down to rek their opponents.

Backpack is just venting his anger over having to go to fat camp.

If TS is a requirement that you can not fulfill, you can not fulfill the requirements of a tryout and are therefore not capable of trying out.

That is simple logic not ignorance. Ignorance is ignoring the requirements because you believe you are entitled to different rules.

Not to be rude or anything. But you’re on your soapbox preaching like you’re top guard world and honestly, I’ve never seen your name before now.

On to the matter at hand – SoR is situational. Simple as that. Remember around release when SoR was the meta heal? I sure do. Then the transition to shelter happened but a few still stuck with SoR for a bit longer. I mean, even now people run healing breeze recently so dont try to preach about shelter being the only viable choice.

You do realize that doesn’t justify you to act like you’re such an elite and everyone needs to do what you sayings they are absolutely wrong if they oppose

LOL EU SO GOOD — that is why 55 HP monks lost 2-1 to Apex
#EUSWAG #EUTRASH #EUkitten

The other day I had 5 kyhlo matches in a row, obviously the game is bugged.

blu tried, Anet did not allow it…

how could helseth get so high on our prestigious NA leaderboards?

shelter is better, mkay.

Here come the Asians to teach us our place.

Davinci once called me the worst guardian NA and a few other amazing things, does that mean I qualify?

oh wait… it is 800 gems. thx Anet.

#swaglifeyolo420blazingit720firegrabswag

yup

there are restrictions in that 1v1 king of the hill server because it is KING OF THE HILL not a 1v1 betting server where each party must agree to the duel.

If you have the money to get a mammogram and a STD test you should be allowed to duel a pu mesmer.

“OP Guardian”

You rang?

LOL but retal need to be changed, it is not fun to play with right now. I wish it had its duration severely nerfed, damage increased and ability to stack in intensity.

I personally like playing against executioner but I think guardian is the only class that can actually play around with their health due to their large amounts of quick healing effectively front-loading their EHP.

Sigil problem seems to be more of a problem with burst classes running fire and air. Personally I like running energy and intelligence on guardian, I think it adds some needed damage. I do not like having low percentage procs unless they use a chance based system like dota 2. In dota 2 after every non-proc your chance goes up to prevent lull of procs and after you proc you chance decreases to prevent super lucky periods, while maintaining the same effective % proc chance.

Nerf Condi bunkers like engineers and necros. Their damage is insane while having the toughness of a bunker. I think make rabid have as much toughness as zerker has vit, then give it some offensive second stat. Reduce the toughness on settlers as well to maybe current rabid amounts.

Take conditions out of auto attacks almost entirely and put them onto 2-5 skill, make it so condition classes must hit with their major skill like everyone else. Condis are a cool type of damage that has its place but it need to be more skill based in its application and have more counter-play.

My ideal game is where any class can beat another if they play correctly, and there are never any unending/unwinnable fight e.g. bunker guardian can eventually kill a bad condi warrior, engi can beat necro and theif can beat a good guardian.

obviously he is running magi ammi with monk runes. That way he all that team healing and crit chance.

And then a person who has played necro for an hour attacks, gg.

JinDaVikk.7291:

Mace 3 blocks all attacks for full channel until hit by melee.

Nope.

The block breaks if the guardian or any player within the effect would be hit by a block-able kill. It does not work like the mesmer sword block, warrior sword block or the ranger GS block.

Cool thing about this skill is if you block a skill like Earthshaker anyone within your block field will not get hit by the Earthshaker.

I am known by man as Avatar Tyrone due to my immense swag and skill. I main 5 6 2 0 1 SF ele and one-shot people better than the great mogwow.

It’s official. Backpack is either the son of sataarconey or studied every ounce of his past and is the new sataarconey.

Let’s look at the similarities:

- Bad player making troll posts
- Lies to himself to make himself feel better (read my signature)
- Has an average team and gets carried by 2 players on it while the rest are mediocre(skovex and vyndetta days)
- Thinks he’s gods gift to earth
- Makes claims before it even happens(saying he would win the legends tourney)
- Tries to talk smack when he can’t
- Is only 15 and probably goes to Disneyland all the time like sataa

Maybe uses an xbox controller too?

Does anyone else see the irony in some of these statements (aka getting carried by 2 players cough cough COUGH COUGH). Also kitten gurl the rage is real

Lol so why is it u think I’m raging? I find the whole thing entertaining. Need more Sataarconeys. Everyone misses him lol.

Kizos meant you get carried by Tarcis and Hmann. Carry on.

Lol I know that is what he meant lol…..But that is also false. Im too fat for anyone to carry me :O

I heard fat people lag in real life.

gg

This is what all of mistpedia should be like.

Why nerf an obviously underpowered skill. Personally I think they should reduce the initave cost to 1, remove the opening and triple the damage.

#AnetBalance

necro is incredibly strong, but right now at a high level you get trained and have probably the worst defensive utilities in the game. If specced correctly a necro can 1v1 almost everything in this game with the exception of cheesy dueling builds.

Necro right now requires perfect positioning at high levels and a team that is very coordinated at giving peels.

I am kind of curious who would not run beserker stance vs a team with a necro and engi.

If you are going to make a comment about how un-OP the class is, you should try and run the right utilities and before you say this is proof warriors are not OP, warrior without berserker stance is like bunker guard without “stand your ground”.

That is all.

Super.2749:

There are many EU teams who play with 2-3 Burst classes, these teams will just destroy any bunker comp because they can just 1v2 a guy get to the other side of the map instantly and 1v2 again, bunker comp is not even good in EU.

Phaeton.9582:

But wouldn’t it just take a comp with a thief to keep it 5v4 vs that apex comp? I mean where’s the mobility?

This is why 55HP monks easily beat Apex prime in a bo3. OH WAIT, they lost 2 of their games against Apex because Apex out bunkered them.

My experience with EU is you have 2 strong teams, TCG and 55HP Monks, the rest are just as good as NA. The only difference is they are full of a kittened level of patriotism for Europe.

Mike.4830:

Lets be real, GF would get farmed… they are far from the best team NA, and EU is far better than NA….. Only team that would stand a chance is Outplayed By Children… they were seeded 4th bc they are new, but they will win the ToL for sure

You would get rekt just like car crash or any other team that played them.

Noscoc and happy kid will get farmed by sizor and helseth. Rom and Denshee will beat every member of your team 1v1. Davinci all though a very good guardian is outclassed by tage. I would expect the games to go worse then the 2nd game of CC vs TCG.

Rubik.7192:

Team Olrun has the most amount of #sweg so I’ll vote for them.

I completely disagree.

Personally I think it will be one of those amazing PvE or WvW teams. As we all saw in the European tournament they did amazing and the big PvPers got beaten.

DD ele. Has not RNG traits other then the vigor and arcane precision(a really bad minor). All play is active and you get to faceroll over most classes.

If you want more burst go SD and even then it is not RNG based. ele may be OP but it is fun as hell to play.

KarinaCO.6948:

Who cares about balance. Pls make the wardrobe easier to use, looking good is the most important part of pvp.

Absolutely correct.

Corruption necros will be scary.

Bunker Guardian + bunker Ele may make a team absurdly bunkery.

Condi Engis, like Oeggs said, but I think necros will still kitten on them, even when they face roll their keys.

That wierd thief SD might stacking build, Oeggs made, may be very good with the buff to might rune sets.

The guardian steal is only strong because it has a 1/4 second cast and a 4 second daze. I would prefer the cast be toned down so that it reward good play but shorting the daze would be good enough.

The daze if landed on a guard can usually turn a fight. If a thief never gets the daze a guard should win handily every time but if they can land it, the fight is much harder.

Narcarsis.5739:

Good Guardians will capitalize on your mistakes and stay alive forever – the only Guardian I’ve seen do that is Tage. Everyone else is rather easy (or moderately easy) to kill quickly.

Fighting a thief is easy on AH guard. I have killed you before or at least made you run away with your tail between your legs before on AH guard. The reason for your easy time with most guard in NA, including myself sometime, is the virtue guard build and favoring of shield. That build makes fighting thieves much harder, due to the lack of extra toughness and lack of a second stun break in the form of save yourselves.

And if you do not want to listen to me, listen to a guard who is a lot better then me.

Regarding the shots fired towards Guardians, let’s keep in mind that Tage plays AH build with about 200 more Toughness, more Mace Healing Power (or +150 Toughness as Tage runs it), Focus, AH, and maybe even Writ of the Merciful for dueling, all of which improve the Thief 1v1 matchup (Boon Duration vs Trickery thief… yay).

glaphen.5230:

The one skill that makes Thief a Thief needs to be nerfed? Game isn’t balanced around one on ones.

best double shortbow condi bunker teef na. respect.

Josh Davis.6015:

Allie Murdock.8152:

Looks like a player skill issue.

I could not agree more.

I have beaten xii xi before and he is a 10/10 and caed is only an 8/10 so I agree.

Do I get one back as a skin and one in the wardrobe, or something else?

I could not agree more with you Jasher.

I would like to see any of these WvW/PvE players make a team and stack as many cancer builds as they can find onto their team. Then have them play against a team like GF(not the junior varsity version) or another high level team.

I would be willing to put down 50-100g the WvW/PvE players would lose. (I would put down more but I am poor from buying dreamthistle skins)

you can do that on forest BTW :P

Everyone was rank 1 at one time or another. People need to learn and you will not learn anything in hotjoins.

I also tend to find the worst players are not the low levels but rather the people who spend entire games QQing/AFK. Also new players tend to play more conservatively which makes them more predictable teammates.

The problem will never be fixed if you content lock a subset of the population and force them to play hotjoins, which do not teach anything other then how to quickly get a daily. We need new players, being kittens rather then helping will only hurt the community more.

TLDR: Grow up and stop QQing

You may need to go 0 5 30 30 5 after the patch due to the loss of stability on lyssa. The condi removal will be mediocre compared to soldiers runes with pure of voice but the buff to celestial may make up for the loss in crit chance.

Another idea is picking up pact runes, for the fury and healing when combined with AH, post patch and have an ally, like a bunker staff ele, make up for the loss of condi removal. This would also increase your over all support ability, increase your power and almost no change to crit chance.

Or if you really want more tab run 0 0 30 10 30 but i personally thing symbol healing and healing on dodge is better then going for a little more long CD stab.

google.3709:

GTFO with logic!

instead, they should boost rank points and excessively lower the rank points needed to get rank 80!

Let the fire of moltres grow in you!!

I just want to be the dragon from The Never Ending Story.
