I have to agree. Vodka is the only thing that makes gw2 playable.

Beer also works…but you need more of them and a bucket to pee in while perma grinding.

Wauw…I was glad about hearing that there is not gonna be a higher lvl cap for one reason: I’ve got 23 80 chars and there will be at least one more as soon as revenant is playable. Right now I’m really upset about the amount of grind I’ve to do if I want to maintain all of my existing chars. Do I need the specialization on all chars? Nope but I’ve got so much of them because now I can choose if I’m going with my human, norn, silvary, asura or charr warrior and just put my ascended gear on the character I like to use.

BTW I’ve bought full bag slots for every single one and this takes a kittenload of money. One more reason to be mad about this awful grind…

Since the blog simply says u get these scrolls from gaining wvw rank, I wonder if this can be farmed in eotm. Would be another reason to join the k-train.

I never thought of this, will WvW be a barren waste land for the first couple days while everyone farms EotM ?

Finally an excuse to do EotM all day long! The secret dream of every WvW player! <3

…no…seriously! I hope we get rewarded for having several hundred or even thousand unused wvw ranks/points.

Edit: I was so excited that I forgot one fact: WTF ANET WAS READING POSTS REGARDING WVW!? O.o

It’s because we snuck a lot of them into the HoT forum threads ;p

You sneaky kittens! <3

Don’t even think about touching the ele class mechanic. It is fine in the way it is.

Let’s talk about the real problem you have. While WvWing as an ele, you have two meta ways to play it: with staff within a zerg or with dagger dagger while roaming. If someone gets in close combat while zerging, your zerg is about to wipe or your movement was bad (or you have to get rid of the focus party as fast as possible). You have got a lot of tools to survive and cc your enemies on your staff. There are even some staff roaming ele who are able to kill most enemies in 1on1s.

I hate to say it but this is a l2p issue. Learning how to ele takes some time but it is very rewarding.

That’s right, I could care less what others say negatively about the Druid. I happen to love it so much, Iam switching from being a Mesmer main for 3 years, to now a Druid main. In BWE3 I played the elite class, all weekend! I fell in love.

As much as I love the unique magics of Mesmers, I’ve always had a heart for healing magic, nature, and the cosmos. So while those that hate on the spec will continue their rants and rages, I’m going to look the other way, and take up my druid staff and began my new healing career.

I’m tired of the 3 year DPS Meta. I’m ready for something groundbreaking, something that changes and refreshes how to play the game, and Druid does that for me, because I love being a healer in MMOs. October 23rd cannot come soon enough! Iam proud to say I love the Druid, and I’m glad it exist!

Druid MAIN incoming! Thanks ANET and Irenio!

-Purecura

Right now I’m doing all story dungeons + personal story on my ranger so he’s ready to be my main. Before druid this char was just for some lulz in WvW. It’s an awesome class and I will heal the kitten out of people in WvW and raids.

I already finished the personal story and the Living World strories. I’am now focused on getting all the HERO POINTS since I need 250 to unlock everything in the Druid Elite Class track. After I get 250 Hero points, then I’ll do all the story mode on dungeons, then I’ll work on crafting Ascended Clerics gear and weapons! I cant wait!

The point is: I’ve got 23 lvl 80 chars on my new account and I haven’t done the personal story once…I’ve even avoided doing the story dungeons and so on. So doing all this stuff with one character is really special for me. xD

The damage on full heal would be terrible as expected but how are you planning on getting any kill credits with staff auto being like 100 damage unless it’s buffed.

There are already some discussions going on about tagging/rewards and healing. Some RvR/WvW mmos out there were able to reward you for healing and if Anet is going to support healing, they should be able to do it too.

I don’t care about tagging enemies…otherwise I would run staff on guardian 24/7. The only rewards I need, are dead enemy zergs who got rekt by awesome healing and nasty ccs for my backline. :P

It would be nice to get the hundred bags a night too at the same time though, yeah?

We are talking about WvW! The loot is crap! :P I hope they are looking into this issue. You can’t introduce healing without changing your reward system. Period.

1) Learn to think like a mesmer, use destealth traps at the right time and start to treat your engis right. They are the most awesome mesmer hunters out there. It’s hilarious how fast PU mesmer die to them.

What engineer build are you suggesting is particularly strong at killing a PU mesmer build?

I’m using a Static Discharge build with the trait Lock On and sometimes with the utility skill Utility Googles (which gives the toolbelt skill Analyze) whenever I have to find PU mesmer. This build is even awesome for general roaming and focus party play while zerging.

So i think we should get some changes in return of removing two of the biggest mechanics in the game for non-longbow gameplay!

There are some nasty melee rangers out there if you dislike using longbow. The problem with traps is actually the introduction of the Trapper Runes. Up to this point, throwing traps was a must have but after the introduction of these runes things started to get hilarious…especially with the changes to condition damage.

Well i don’t mind trapper runes, but simply if you cannot throw traps in offensive way or choose how your enemy will approach you, then you don’t have much of use on traps. No one is dumb enough to freely step into them unless u are 30% hp and they chase you because they know u are in deep kitten

If you ask me I would rather give away trapper runes then throw traps.
And damage of traps is very weak compared to burn guardian/condi mesmer/engie.

I gladly run into them because it destealths you sneaky kittens! :P That’s the reason why throwing traps + trapper rune was so kittening annoying.

Ryu.5801:

meepeY.2867:

I’ll happily answer any questions you may have,

So then, answer this for me.

1) My team takes SM. A single PU mesmer runs around perma stealth until righteous indignation times out then ports in a zerg and retakes SM. I want to know what you think is a reasonable counter to that which doesn’t involve wasting 10+ mins of 5+ players time searching for a player we only periodically see for half a second.

2) Thief comes in for a 1v1 fight. Loses. Gets revenge by coming back and harassing me – stealth, hits me, arrow shadowstep, stealth and goes out of range. Repeats again and again until I can’t take it anymore and port back home. I roam fine for a while until he/she eventually finds me again and repeats the harassment. Show me how that can be countered – until then, stealth is broken, full stop.

1) Learn to think like a mesmer, use destealth traps at the right time and start to treat your engis right. They are the most awesome mesmer hunters out there. It’s hilarious how fast PU mesmer die to them.
Also necros do a great job if they are able to use their staff, track them down and burst them down with dagger/focus. Finding mesmers in SM has gotten even easier with the latest PU nerf.

2) Burst the thief down, throw a ballista on his corpse and start spamming /laugh. 95% of them will rage quit the game after insutling you in whisper and the other 5% are easy kills in their full rage mode…but honestly this thread was about how to fight them and not about how to catch the ones who are running away all day. There are worse classes/builds like gs warrior and sw/x + gs medi guards.

No clue for raids but WvW is going to be nomad’s. I think GS could be a good secondary set. Sword/horn might be good too which is cool since finally we’ll have a use for warhorn? hehehe

Yeah sword/warhorn works like a charm in WvW zergs but nomad sounds like the total overkill! What are you planning to do? Survive your zerg and then blame them on TS for wiping?! :’D

Another thread regarding stealth! @OP: this was actually a good writeup. Seriously! If some guys are still dying to thieves, you have to think about to stop facerolling your keyboard. The stealth is fine on this class. Yeah they can perma stealth but as soon as they mess it up/get revealed, they are screwed. It uses all your initiative/cds. There are so many ways to counter them. The OP has brought up a good advice about how to fight a thief and there is one more. Pressure them! As soon as a thief has to go defensive, you have almost won the fight.

There are two annoying builds who are abusing stealth right now: trapper thief and pu mesmer (although pu mesmer is almost fine after the nerf). Stop complaining about the average d/p thieves. It’s almost the last viable power build for thieves in WvW.

I wouldn’t think about anything regarding the future of WvW. We have to wait and see how things develop…and there was a post about putting more work into the development of WvW after the release of HoT. I still don’t know if this is good or bad or even going to happen! :P Sry Anet.

They are twisting the numbers for generating astral force for healing and damage and they are also changing the way how your heal skills scale with healing power so it is hard to talk about what gear you should use.

If actually healing power gear is needed for the heals we have seen in bwe, you can forget about dealing damage. The damge you deal with full cleric/magi (+ monk rune) equip is laughable so you can go sword/warhorn for some nice buffs and evades (almost perma swiftness + fury with the warhorn trait).

If you want to deal damage – there are some nice druid traits for dps builds if they tweak the numbers right – this is a totally different story.

Longbow is a viable weapon for PvE content as long as: you use the trait Quick Draw and you constantly swap weapons to make use of it…but lets be honest…right now sword/axe is the strongest power damage option. So using longbow + sword/axe would be optimal.

…this game was built without a healer.

ftfy

And now it is being built with one.

And he’s awesome as healer. Pick another class if you dislike ranger/druid so much. There are 8 other classes with their own specialization. Problem solved.

You have a class that started for the past 3 years as a DPS, and for that matter one of two classes that time and time again the Meta has said NO to. Yes, if your friends let you roll with them as a DPS ranger letting you show off how good a ranger can be in the right hands that is great! You have no real reason to be here in the forums worrying about anything or defending anything…move on! But know this, your friend are not the “Meta”

A lot of specialisations are not like the base class and some are even worse in all aspects of the game. Druid will find his spot in GW2 or not like many other specialisations. It looks like raids are going to need “healers”. Druids are handy for setting up bombs and countering pressure in WvW due all those quick burst heals combined with a kitten load of ccs. Druids could shine in PvP within organised groups.

There are so many rangers out there and about 90% are not dps at all. Why? Because they suck with their longbow camping and this is the reason why ranger never made it into meta. If you dislike it, play another profession/specialisation. We’ve got plenty of it.

Forsaker.9213:

in high tier pvp gs wont be vailble , just to slow.

So where should I start? You can’t dodge forever. Dodging in 1on1s is really easy but in group fights, things start to get more distracting. OHHH! And you never ever want to stand on a point with one of these gs swinging maniacs on it. xD

Sure. It can’t replace something like dagger/focus but it is awesome in its own way.

My Sweet Lily.1952:

Scourge Healing would really help with tagging in WvW, even if it would deal only ~100 dmg per Cosmic Ray.

Tagging is not a great issue while running with a group but Anet has to change the way you “contribute” to the battle. Putting a damage component on your heal skills is not a solution.

Anet uses the skill effects for all game modes. Buffing Glyph of Empowerement would be way over the top. Think of one druid with four necros within a WvW environment…that bombs…

Scalpels.2809:

In terms of WvW, the limit of only healing 5 players per skill does nothing to counter AoE bombs. And, again, no DPS.

And as a whole, the crappy range of the Glyphs, as well as no stability or stun breaks, makes them garbage.

The druid is performing pretty nice in WvW. You should not be able to counter bombs but you can heal through pressure damage and act like a mobile regroup. Glyph of Empowerement is actually pretty nice. 10% more damage for your group or 25% more heal is really op in the right group setup.

BTW don’t forget about all your skills for immobilizes. You can setup the enemy zerg for bombs.

gennyt.3428:

Condition builds are still inferior for PvE because well…GW2 PvE is dead easy and predictable so going full glass cannon and blowing everything up quickly isn’t risky. Zero reason to bunker up and “outlast” an NPC unless you really, really want to play that way and I’m kind of bummed out that Anet doesn’t look into that instead of making these changes that kitten up small WvWvW fights.

They’ve done it this way because looking into the core issue would have taken to much time and resources + you have to tell all PvE players that you are going to change everything => RIOT!
Balancing such a change for their favorite child (PvP) was pretty easy because they have certain stat sets and some runes/sigils are not available. So this was the “only” way to go. Who cares about small scale WvW! lol

I wish they would split up certain skills into a PvP, a PvE and a WvW version like they did in GW1. In addition to it they should also split some foods, runes and sigils in a PvE and WvW version! What would the perplexity rune look like in its WvW version? :’D

Robert.6790:

TL;DR
Thief/engineer take the most skill to play, therefore they should have the potential to be dominant(See highest skill caps) over classes which require significantly less skill to be competitive at.

Yay! I haven’t seen such a post for a while. The skill cap needed for the different classes should not determine their “power”. Classes with a higher skill cap are usually more fun to play and have a lot more versatility and utilities.
I for myself enjoy my thief and my engi as they are. There are always some builds which are pretty easy to play and super effective at the same time but I don’t mind. With some practice I’ve managed to beat every cheese or even counter build so far – PU is another story…sometimes – and in the end it felt more rewarding than rolling over other players with some kind of faceroll cheese build.

Raven.9603:

The thread is noting the lack of roamers in WvW and speculating on “Why”.

IMO:

• Condi meta just gets worse and worse, via Dire, Food, new condi traits/runes/effects while not also increasing cleansing options.
• Mesmers right now are stronger than any class has ever been in the history of roaming. Its a very bad thing. Cele-ele-DD is bad too, but not “unprecedentedly broken” the way PU mesmers are today.
• Roaming player base overwhelming gravitating towards cheese means less enjoyable experiences. This is our fault for playing them and Anets fault for not keeping the specs in line.
• Damage is all around too high. Fights since the specialization change are too short, so many 1v1’s or 1v2’s are over far too quickly now for them to be enjoyable experiences.
• General lack of interest in WvW. There were more roamers during Golem week than there have been this week in NA/T3.

I have to agree. The change to conditions were made for PvE and screwed the whole roaming experience. Also the overall increase of stats has resulted in way over the top power damage. Pre balance patch you could have real fights even outnumbered and post balance patch you got melted within seconds from some builds. Most roamers should have been able to adjust to the new situation but the damage is still too high.

I don’t even try to fight most of the mesmers right now. Most of the time they are stacking conditions like crazy or setting up one shatter after another until they are finally able to hit you. Without PU they wouldn’t even be able to “play” this way. You can wreck some of them quite easily with a certain engi build but most of the time I’m playing other classes.
With other classes I run away whenever I see a mesmer and setup a destealth trap somewhere. Most of them are chasing you like crazy – probably because they think, they can’t lose any 1on1 – and run right into the trap. Now you can watch them spam stealth abilities while you just beat the crap out of them. Problem solved. Yeah I think PU is so kittening broken that I have to go full troll mode. I love those salty whispers.

BTW there were more “roamers” during the golem week because of this “little” bug which got abused by some morons.

Rambitshouse.8712:

stealth stealth stealth boom boom boom, electro techno music!!!!!! super close up, anime rock music, senpai senpai senpai!!!!

Mesmers….LOL

^This.

What is this kitten? Right now you can use any mesmer build with PU and get this kind of footage within one day…okay usually you are stealthing and running away 95% of the time while roaming solo but it’s doable. All I see are ganks and over the top video editing. lol

Conaywea.5062:

Kyo.7369:

I solo roam off guild raid / peak times everyday, and would love to get some more fights.

In response to some people complaining about running into mesm0rz and whatever the bandwagon op class is now, I haven’t had many problems. Just need to learn how to outplay them.

how im supposed to fight against perplex mesmers/thieves/enginers , for a reason that rune isnt in pvp , all the kitten of pvp lives in wvw

Yeah especially when they run in packs. It’s almost impossible…without a destealth trap! xD

I guess the “roamers” you encounter are very different from server to server. Let’s have a look on my personal record for facing a cheese “roaming” squad: 4 pu mesmer (2 condi, 2 shatter) + 2 thieves…the lamest 2on6 I’ve ever had. You can’t even avoid those fights because they chase you across the whole map in perma stealth. I love those german servers. <3

Roaming? Are you talking about those awesome moments when: kitten condi build kills you after one minute of cheese? a pu mesmer (doesn’t matter if condi or power) stealthes for so long and keeps you infight until he finally manage to kill you with confusion or finally land one successfull shatter? a gank squad appears and start to chase you across the whole map? half of a public zerg stops following the commander and decide to chase you instead?

Aww…I love roaming on my power gs + sw/f medi guard as long as I have an escape plan aka lots and lots of ports ready. Screw you condi builds! I will fight you as long as my condi removes allow me to do so. xD

BTT: Roaming is almost dead. Whenever I start some solo roaming, I end up in a group. Why? You start roaming, kill some guys, flip some camps and suddenly 2+ start to chase you across the map wherever you show up. So you call for reinforcement because you are sick of it. So you start roaming with another guy, kill some guys, flip some camps and suddenly 3+ start to chase you across the map wherever you show up. So you call for reinforcement because you are sick of it…rinse and repeat…until your solo roaming action ends up in a massive blob! :P

Anyway, here’s hoping to Guild Halls helping people out.

The arena in guild halls is too small for GvGs. If Anet would care about their GvG community, they would have implemented a real GvG. So stop hoping and try to get along with them.

What is the population of players permitted in guild hall battles?

It is not a question of population cap. The size of the arena on its own is too small to support the current GvG formats.

Engineer is awesome for roaming purpose. The SD build melts all those thiefs and pu mesmer within seconds while you are able to deal with almost every build out there…okay CC and condi heavy builds may be a problem but engineer is still in a very good spot.

Just don’t try to zerg on an engineer or learn how to play in an effective focus party.

Here we go again: use the OS for your duels. Thanks! You will get interrupted, ganked and blobbed on regular basis so don’t even try to duel on a regular WvW map…or stop being salty on this forum. Use the “real” WvW forum for this kind of stuff but be prepared: it’s a god kitten salt mine! xD

BTW a lot of folks in EU are blaming duelists and even roamers whenever they get outnumbered in zerg fights while they have a queue…so I would say they rather hate duels and don’t respect them at all.

I guess when I’m in OS you’ll build all the siege, refresh it, and monitor the map?

Oh that’s right, you don’t do that. Ever.

Why should I do stuff like that? xD It is boring and pointless if you don’t care about ppt. The only thing I contribute to ppt is flipping all camps on the map…and killing other roamers and poor zerglings, who try to run back to their mother blob. I miss you ppk! T_T

BTW scouting/upgrading/defending and duels have nothing to do with each other so this is no argument against using the OS for duels.

Edit: Why is Jayne highjacking so many threads? So many discussions end up with Jayne vs all…so pointless…

What? You were talking about those builds in an PvP environment? Taunts should be telegraphed in some way but they are fine in the current state.

BTW you should join WvW for some nice duels if you are talking about builds like that so get an idea what op is…really…you can build some really annoying cheese builds with the stat combos and buff food.

Yelloweyedemon.2860:

Because Swap pets while on air is too hard for some people.

^This. You have to get used to some stuff in GW2. This is definitely not a game breaking issue.

If we are talking about PvP or WvW it is probably a l2p issue…if we are talking about PvE it is still a l2p issue. :P

Rangers are able to pull off some awesome stuff in solo, small scale and even large scale “PvP” fights. Even in an PvE environment you are able to deal some awesome damage with some damage/crit buffs for your group. We need more information if you are looking for any kind of help or explaination.

Sarcasm totally works when you try to talk with Anet. Look at the state of WvW…it worked like a charm! xD

Whenever I swing my scythe, I have to think of Soul Eater…and it feels awesome! Look at the sweet and somewhat over the top GS animations. The animations and the scythe fit the theme of the reaper.
You are an unstoppable, creepy monster hunting down your enemies.

OS should stay as it is right now. You’ve got a place for duels and GvGs where nobody can troll you with siege and you are not taking up space on an actual WvW map.

Placing siege and defending the OS was awesome but those days are gone. Most of the players who did this to have some fun are gone. Now they would just killtrade all day long.

Raven.9603:

OP using 1vX is a bad example, but yes burning sucks real hard right now. yes it needs toning down. the sooner they adjust the skills that abuse the new system (dragons breath, cleansing flame) and maybe kill +/- condi food, the better.

Dragon breath and cleansing flame are pretty easy to counter. Just kill the ele or guardian before burning stacks up and kills you…oh wait! nvm…

If it is scaled down a little bit it would make the roaming funnier and more rewarding.

Sir, I’ll have you know that roaming is no laughing matter. It’s srs biznss.

But yes, since that patch update a while back, it’s not so much fun to roam anymore. You can adjust, damage is just at a faster pace now, means you have less than a second to react, but it is possible. Just make a good exit strategy for all fights.

I totally agree. Without a good exit strategy you are screwed after the patch. It still could be fun sometimes but most of the time you get outnumbered. Engi, mesmer, ele, warrior, guardian and thief are still fun for this kind of fights but you get instagibbed more often than pre patch.

And suddenly it works again without any problems for me…I don’t get it but someone has to do some research on it.

I love it! Code=42:0:9001:4418:101 pops up when I want to do anything PvP related, I’m stucked in loading screens until they white out and stop my GW2 client and first of all I have to get past this login error.

I’m expiriencing the same issues. It’s just kittening annoying…

Iavra.8510:

Roaming is still alive. I die a lot to 4-5 mesmer/thief groups, but those are so bad that i often can either escape or kill a few before dying, so that’s fine for me.

Regarding PU: I would run CI, which is more fun, but i need the survivability, especially against other PU mesmers. They can nerf PU and CS, i would welcome it, but as long as that doesn’t happen don’t blame me for using it.

It takes ages to find nice fights as a solo roamer. Challenging 1on1s are so kitten rare so you have to look for 1on2+…and whenever you are in an awesome fight, BNF comes around the corner and chases you down. :P
