You dont have to rank queue with the dailies, so not sure really why this is an issue
Hi!
Just leveling up the guild hall, noticed there’s a few upgrades for PVE related content which need PvP boosters? Thought I’d give some feedback on this.
I can understand the Arena, perhaps at a stretch the War Room, but Im a lil confused as to why PvP boosters would be part of the upgrade for a way point reduction cost upgrade in the Guild Hall?
I might be missing something obvious but hey
I do take into account of course that not everyone does stick to one mode, just thought it a lil odd.
Thanks!

[BUG] Hero Point Challenge, Verdent Brink, South East Corner Next to Waypoit: Treacherous Path – When the event completes the Hero point is not given.
Thanks!
Jebro
HGH Now grants only 15s of might instead of 20
Adaptive Armor grants 60 toughness per stack, instead of 100 (Now the exact same as Corruptor’s Fervor at max stacks)
This really came out of nowhere, is there any reason as to why?
Adaptive Armor was completely justified and expected (at least by me). We did not need 500 free toughness for literally doing nothing. It did not promote active play and still does quite a bit by providing 300 AND 20% condition damage reduction in the process. As for HGH, it is safe to say that we now have many different options for obtaining Might, making it insane to permanently maintain 25 at all times just for taking a single elixir along for the process of, once again, lack of active play through obtaining it.
What he said
Playing Engie myself for a fair old while now, I feel personally (yea Im a shoutcaster yadda yadda) it felt pretty strong. Might stacking was simply to easy as said about & the toughness, meh. 20% reduction on that condi, Im still sold!

Jebro OP caster. Pls nerf Jebro
If I had a schitty product I’d want to sell As Seen On TV, I’d hire Jebro to star in the infomercial.
Jebro can sell anything to anyone or anyone to anything.
Lol. Never been a salesman
If I need to tell people in this thread what clutch means I can do that, but seems some have come to the rescue.
Dragons are a top team featuring top tier players in PvP. oRNG just had a great day of games and ended in a spectacular manner.
They were winning, yep you’re right. But wiping out 2 players may have lead to a snowball situation of the map for dragons. The combo of frostball ressing Mini to then hold the focus while Tage then self res’s even slightly to give enough time to Sin to move in stealth res then move Minishee into a portal for an attack on lord… The movement on the team,communication and patience was clutch in itself.
Maybe just personal opinion, but hey
Oh just realised I forgot to take the logo out when I OBS recorded, the full vod will be out later so dw
Hey all!
I just wanted to show you just how clutch GW2 PvP can get. Im a scrub, rerecorded it on OBS with an overlay still on, but will upload the full Go4 VoD anyways
No words.

Do you really need to trait 3 mantra charges, now that the cd is “removed” ?
The question is do you really need to trait Deceptive Evasion, now with IP in play? Three charges is a hell of a lot more cause for effect if you have the right traits synergizing effectivness, AND you’re getting the benefit of additional DPS from the same GM trait. So do you need 3 charges with the mantra cd removed? No, but taking it is heaping power on top of power (effect, im not talking power stat).
Dont forget that 1 extra condi cleanse ofc
Out of the gate on patch day, this build did quite well – certainly was fun / trolly. But once the swarms of condi players hit the map, this build begins to under perform. Needs more ways to cleanse/avoid dmg.
CHeck the update in the description or click here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPqpHFpTtCs
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/mesmer/Build-Phantrupt-or-Die-New-Vid/first#
Here you go Jeb.
So yeah, I definitely felt the condi pressure out there, particularly anytime the imobs began to spam. Being able to insta cast heal and cleanse through stuns/imobs etc with MoC + cleanse on heal is just still so good. Also, mantra QoL changes are supurb (cd begins at charge, not after clearing casts). Anyway, Dom/Duel/Chaos is incredibly offensive in terms of lockdown but generates weaknesses better overcome with alternate build choices.
Agreed! fuin as hell though right? :P that build was based on 1v1 although atm Im still playing it. Will have to drop in some footage After speaking to more mesmers and having team practice
Jeb loving your enthusiasm but I don’t think this build is as strong as it could be. I’d say the builds greatest weakness is the lack of condi cleanse, and it’s loss of potential is in the absense of Mantra of Distraction.
As much as I loved the idea of Dom/Duel/Chaos, after looking at it, and now having gone in to play, I can see Dom/Duel/Inspi is far superior given synergy and the breadth of what we face. I’ll link a build and vid I’m putting up shortly.
To answer the remark :P I just checked here for replies, heres the build I literally just made with some pointers from Frostball
Mantra condi cleans in there too! :P
Let me know dude, Im thinking of chucking in the mantra to utility might be nicer
I need to get some pvp team fight action to add to this build too
Im playing pistol atm and drop the mantra for the low cd on null field even :P those condi’s man..
Try it, test it let me know
The interrupts Stunner build I made 2 versions on b4 this patch is now pretty nice.
Ive made a video below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPqpHFpTtCs
Let me know your thoughts on improvements and viability, but it feels pretty nice at least in 1v1/2v2 situations. 2nd Build is more team fight tested first is pretty tough, but if you can survive well youre golden
Will update with a build only when I can
Jebro
(edited by jebro.6370)
If you’re still looking at the thread:
I think it’s worth a look at alternatives to ending the game. Either extending the time limit on matches by a couple minutes or, even better, instituting a GW1-type system where, at timeout, the lords come forward to fight each other. Lords could have buffs applied to them based on score so that the leading team goes into sudden death with an advantage, but the lagging team could still win if skilled enough.
Thats a really nice idea, Its nice seeing constructive feedback
Bump for brackets!
(do people even use Generosity?)
I tested it some and was pretty impressed.
I’m not quite sure whether it prioritizes Torment high or just rips off big stacks first, but it did a pretty good job purging big damaging conditions rather than just inconsequential throw-ins.
But did you enjoy it?
I heared that Moa Users are going to hell? :P
Well if the elixer X change stays then tons more people are going dowwn!
Yea its one issue, but mesmer has that prob generally. The interrupts help me survive nicely but the removal is prob the real issue with the build. But with the meta atm. Condi’s aren’t as bad as they used to be thankfully!
Hey all!
So, there was a lot of discussion about this build before and now being a little out of date I feel its time to rejig things & think about it further after the new system comes in.
The build revolves around stunning and interrupting your opponent whilst dealing some nice damage. I wont explain much more, but I feel this will be amazing when combined with Chrono & the alacrity effect when HoT does come in.
Here it is atm:

Upgrades issue – 2 upgrades stuck on 00:00 screenshot supplied, has been this way since patch
Thanks!
Jebro
Yea same, atm we have two upgrades at 00:00 and they arent completing
haha fair enough :P try it anyway!
Seems this build will now be more viable in spvp with the new Stability changes
yea agreed, I need to really get some better footage. I kinda out rotated the dps builds in that game xD
Just updated this with a game play video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pVVEqFtb5Q&feature=gp-n-y&google_comment_id=z13qwz54ulqiwvnsh22st11awzzhftkt4
Enjoy! Great feedback here guys, I might tweet it a lil from these great suggestions above keep it coming!
I run a ton of engie builds. One of the main reasons is being a little bored of speedy kits
Going to the med pack heal is well, not viable tbh. Healing turret is too strong to not use tbh!
I still believe with protection up time compared to the speed and using protection in conjunction with bombs is in my playstyle more preferable. I can face tank damage a bit more and plant my bombs rather than dodging the damage which can take me away from placing them down (other than the bomb on dodge ofc)
This is where it can be altered.
Dodge wise Id replace the sigil for that ofc
Speedy kits is amazing YES but not always needed imo. I like to go outside the mainstream a bit tbh :P. Power shoes gives you the speed, also the stun break from slick shoes, the block on toolkit, the cc with rifle and the various knockbacks and cc can help a ton with survivability. Dont forget you have a high up time also on protection. Which makes you quite tanky as well, so youre taking damage to the face and mitigating it rather than dodging to a degree.
But I do like I said, play this build with speedy kits as a variant :P. Thanks fror the feedback dude
Hey all!
Thought I’d get some bomb action going on on me Engie!

Wanted to get some feedback on sigils and also how you guys think this plays.
Personally Im surviving a ton as a cele engie does ofc, but then still maintaing high might stacks with some nice dots on targets with the torment sigil.
Let me know your thoughts!

P.s see you at the December Go4GW2 Cup Finals Weds 14th Jan on the twitch.tv/guildwars2 channel at 6pm GMT 7pm CET
Yup!
The MF affects the chest opening not the gaining, also opening them in a non pvp zone doesnt matter the MF boost you have affects the opening. I actually make MF videos based on the spvp reward tracks and did use the WTS boost, lets say it made a big difference to the loot that came out, MF ftw!
here safe and sound in cologne! Looking good peoples! Next stop… ESL Studios
cant wait
Looking forward to seeing GW2 in an ESL studio!
