My question is how long does the 50% speed boost last?

This…….I really NEED to know…

I am hoping it is a permanent buff, but tbh that’s just wishful thinking

Agreed that this has created a boring day in wvw but it is exactly that… A DAY. Give it a few more days and it will be back to the usual zergy lag fest that it once was. The funny thing with the new content is it’s one big pve zerg….. made me laugh to see it and the loot its gives for the effort put in is ridiculous. I made like 8 g in a few hours. gg wp np. No wonder this game is full of scrubs.

I spend most of my time in wvw solo roaming and get plenty of action doing so (1v1 1v2 1v3). You do have to run from zergs a bit but it is not a massive issue. I would recommend a lower tier server to avoid the really big zergs.

EDIT: Loot is crap solo but I don’t need shiny things to win a fight.
Gear with the best stat numbers is available through wvw…it just look crap.

And LOL if you can’t avoid 20 man zerg wtf……

lol

Thanks Bro

And a thief somewhere gains +1 ego

Second thread about this in as many weeks?

I was really looking forward to griefing some PvE players in the EB JP this week with mesmer focus and great sword. But unfortunately I play on RoF and we own all the ports in. QQ

I would suggest running runes of centaur on your mesmer…like seriously. With those runes plus blink and staff #2 mesmers are one of the fastest classes in game. Use focus initially then stack swiftness on top of that. If you are running in a group with someone else giving swiftness than it will stack all day long giving minutes of swiftness and even if solo its pretty much perma swiftness. I would reconsider your opinion of focus as the pull on #4 is probably the most useful weapon skill Mesmers have…even with the new 1 second delay (for example pull a thief and their buddies out of shadow refuge). Mesmers really are not that vulnerable with a potential 4 second distort when traited and 2 seconds distort on the sword #2 plus decoy, chaos shield, a reflect heal, reflect traits, veil mass, invis, torch stealth…. and again blink and staff #2. When traited for increased range on blink you got an epic 2400 total range there.

Oh and with applied fortitude im gunna have well over 20k hp

Man I love mesmers…

And don’t forget that if you are in a queue there are another 3 maps to choose from. If there is a queue for them all then transfer if it bothers you that much.

I don’t see how this is a problem at all. If you are solo/small man then just don’t down ele/war in front of a keep or at least try to lure them away from tower or use pulls to move them further away from a keep. If you are zerging then just wait until you smash in whatever they mist into.

And lets not ignore the fact that any of the people posting in this thread (including myself) would all mist into a keep for self rez….

There is nothing wrong with applied fortitude at all (I’m about 35 ranks from getting this). What are people getting from siege mastery lines… like 30 % damage increases plus extras….Applied Fortitude is a better counter to this damage increase than siege bunker is.

You got to remember that it takes a lot of points to get this…I have no points in any other line and wont for a long time…and at the end of the day its going to be one extra hit to kill me.

obv on defense against guards….100 vitality? yes please

The tool tip says it’s even 50 per stack. Not sure what’s right and what’s wrong… spend my points there anyway. And siege bunker of course.

Did this used to say 20 in tooltip? But just checked that and it is 50 per stack for max 5 stacks…250 vitality? YES PLEASE

I would like to see if the expand on the siege bunker line. Maybe something to reduce the conditions that siege does. For example chill of cannons etc…

obv on defense against guards….100 vitality? yes please

I agree with OP about the issue but I would rather see a rezz sickness rather than no combat rezz. Rezz sickness could be weakness/poison/vulnerability (some combo of these) and it could stack in intensity and have a long duration. To cure this sickness would mean going to a npc in a keep. With something like rezz sickness killing people in any fight will reduce the effectiveness of one side (the loosing side) in long drawn out fights.

I play Rof…

I’d be happy with any match up other than the current one..

No offense to Vabbi or FoW ( I’ve had some great fights against these guys) but the numbers difference sucks.

Retaliation is not broken/op, therefore no fix/solution is required.

I was 1v1 against a guardian earlier I started taking retal damage so I did the unthinkable…I stopped attacking him? for a few seconds. I then proceeded to stomp him.

The complainers.

The biggest problem with WvW is all the constant moaning.

I read in another post somewhere that they are making it so you can go back through the portal with the WP next to it. Sorted.

EDIT: found the post

DevonCarver.5370:

In the next build we’ll be implementing exits that allow you to turn around and leave through the portals behind you. Hopefully that will help.

But using focus to pull people in JP is just too much fun…….you should try it

Meatsneeze.3980:

Where is your nightcrew at, had to fight doors all night?

Wow you so good.

As far as I could tell all of RoF were doing unspeakable things to each other with palm trees…….

Thanks for the replies guys….I’ve only been playing a couple of months and have never noticed this before, we live and learn…or in this case get sat by a ranger and learn

Aveneo.2068:

Auto attack will not follow through Stealth. You may have been shot by an arrow that was already in the air before you used Stealth.

Rapid Fire will track you in Stealth if the Ranger activated the ability before you went into Stealth.

Cool thanks for that. Was not aware that skills would finish once started…explains a lot and yeh it must have been rapid fire…that’s the ranger long bow #2?

:D

I don’t know where I should be posting this but here it goes…

I just got killed by rangers auto attack whilst I was in stealth….It looked his auto attack was following my every move…and I was not running in a straight line sooo yeh………I know a guild member who plays a thief has noticed this but has anyone else?

Everyone in WvW is legit target, sod /bow…who cares? Some guy wants me to not kill him because he has green arrow or waves rather than bows. I think not…

greyblue.4962:

I’ve been trying the trait that also causes f2 to grant retaliation but it in no way makes up for the damage lost.

Don’t bother. They nerfed retaliation by 33% too.

LOL that explains that then. Must have missed that in the patch notes. Just gunna have to jump on the band wagon and roll a thief…..

Shatter spec mesmer….that trait that causes all shatter skills to also cause confusion kinda pointless now. This nerf affected more than just mesmers who ran a full confusion build. I’ve been trying the trait that also causes f2 to grant retaliation but it in no way makes up for the damage lost.

Green arrow should stay. I occasionally leave up leveled players alone but if that green arrow goes they gunna get stomped 24/7, by lots of players, not just myself…

To put it simply, daoc wins

Jikap.6547:

Considering that we actually did really well during prime-time today (ticked inn at +410 at some point), I’d say we actually do have a high population, but one that rarely show interest in WvW. Today was obviously an exception :p

This is our chance to gain a higher WvW population, let’s welcome our PvE friends with open arms and give them a big welcome~

win

Jimmy.1476:

Germans from all three german servers are maybe worst GW2 players.
They need zerg for retake one camp,they need zerg for haunt and kill one player,they need zerg for kill one dolyak but they are almost 100% failing in duels or 1vs1 group fights.I won min.9/10 duels against them and im not thief.

I have also had some great 1v1 action and small team fights against these. These german servers a great at zerging but in a 1v1/small fight they are terrible. Zerging promotes bad play and low skill.

Are we really very high population though that is the question here….as I said we constantly have the outmaned buff in WvW so if we are a very high population server it’s basically a server of pve grinders. I’ll also add the last time I did Grenth I think less than 20 were doing it and this was a weekend…..

Whats the deal with ring of fire…Do most people just PvE or what? RoF are apparently a high population server but more often than not we have the outmaned buff in WvW when fighting against medium population servers…..

I read that server population doesn’t take into account accounts that aren’t played and just totals the accounts that have ever played on the server. If that is correct its sucks….seeing high population will probably deter people from joining the server in order to avoid queues and overflows.

kingcragus.6810:

and sPvP is not the answer before you suggest it

they need to be bigger because it will stop zergs insta rolling people.

we were taking a camp with a 3 man group t’other day, killed the 2? defenders. They have blatently typed in /m OMG 3 men taking camp WE NEED A ZERG. Then we got jumped on by like 30 +.

YES. Already too much siege imo… I’m convinced that ppl have no idea how to win a fight without it.

Musty.3148:

I would love to see the maps larger. EB is like urban warfare… towers, keeps, etc are WAY too close together. Even the BLs are pretty tight with the longest run to a keep going to be what? 30 seconds? Way too small.

Urban warfare lol. Best description ever. +1

Yeh EB, don’t really have an issue with borderlands tbh and I’ve had some good WvW there. I only raise the issue because a typical fight generally follows this pattern…..OMG run away – shoot an arrow cart – zerg inc. Saying that though I never stick around to get shot by the siege and zerg dodging can be fun at times.

Any one else agree that the zones are far to small. I fully understand the need for siege etc but you are Rarely out of the range of arrow carts/cannons. It sucks big time. Either that or decrease siege range that would rock. And your only ever round the corner from a zerg…..boring. Small team fights ftw

and sPvP is not the answer before you suggest it
