Guild Wars 2

i think hammer guard ring and aoe moa combo is something you dont want to miss

And Protection on dodge and Bark skin is not OP at all

Btw guardian has way high retaliation uptime without traits

and how is this madness at all, warrior already has access to this trait with 1 trait point away, no one takes it because it’s kitten

guardian is different then warrior.
guardian is better at staying on enemy, warrior is better at running away

gs build is buffed with 5% more damage, and 20% cd reduction
and you can actually take destruction of the empower with immo removal now
and immo removal also add 25% movement speed
so covers up the speed lose from using rampage instead of SoR.

and in strength line, instead of extra life, you can go physical training and synergy with rampage.

Or. you can also take brawlers recovery instead of DoTE, and drop burst mastery (which sync with cleansing ire) and take quickness instead for faster burst

they actually bring up a lot of diversity if you ask me

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

" while at least one profession’s elite specialization will be a full set of six shouts."

yes warriors getting new healing shout and elite shout!

heal – Victory is Mine!
elite – I Will Avenge You!

well at least that is what i hope.

another possibility would be guardians but i think 6 shouts probably be better on the warrior though.

or it will be guardian or ranger

Hoaxintelligence.4628:

I bring bezerker hambow in pvp matches and I destroy shoutbows so your claim about that shoutbow is the strongest is false.

There are a tons of build can kill shoutbow easy in 1v1..
shoutbow is there it’s never because of it’s 1v1 capacity.

Doesnt matter, warrior will still remains point holder.

No teleportation, no stealth = no reliable burst = bad dps
very little variation of conditions = bad condition
all ranged weapons are bad, have to be upclose on point to be at least effective = any spec that is glass will die insanely quick for having no teleportation or reliable disengage
disengage abilities often affected by CCs and soft CCs = anything glass will die real quick.

messiah.1908:

so basically no condi class can be in the meta comp in higher tier

That’s right, basically why adjured dropped condi necro and went power necro

shoutbow is support orientated and DD is more point bunker.

m2c

ahahahahah crazy

those are hyper sniper which can be pick up by any player/ class as bundle.

Trickery Steal the most overpowered skill in the game.

i tried to use it on my dd ele, which i thought would fit since melee and stuff, but it just looks so weird, i usually loved big horns helmet on my warrior, but it just looks weird here.

im sticking it to my warrior.

As you win more and mmr gets higher, you will see less and less people who do that.

Torch is already a pretty good pvp weapon set.

i would rather see focus 4 apply revealed whenever they walk through

please don’t talk about PvE, revealed isn’t a buff that will affect PvE in anyway to begin with.

i havent figure out which is better for GS kittenter for pvp

yes gw2 is awesome pvp, but lacks pvp features and free to play pvp client

go soloq as a mesmer and come back write about how you felt.

lighter.2708:

nah recently i only play thief in solos because its so much better, I only use war shouheal when enemy is good and I need to get serious to win(cuz I main war

As a zerker, thief is so much reliable in anyway, burst damage, mobility to stick to the target, and a small time frame of lock down, its way more useful and easier to play, you don’t even need to be good mechanically, all you do is rotation and targeting and +1s, unlike point holders who should be good in order to hold points against multiple enemies and do 1v1s

I don’t think this is true tbh. Shoutheal is one of the easiest build in the game after turret engi. I don’t consider myself highly skilled mechanically and I can beat much better players than me with a shoutbow warr in a 1v1.

It has so much sustain that the player doesn’t even need to dodge properly and would still win any 1v1 on point just with weapon swap and the firefield. Its a very passive game play compared to thief.

And yes thief can be considered easy in tpvp because it doesn’t have to 1v1 but it doesn’t change the fact that 1v1 ing with a shoutbow is extremely easy. And even if you fight another shoutbow player that is better than yourself, you aren’t going to kill each other before help arrives.

It’s a lot easier to win in soloq when you can simply out rotate or burst reliably. tanky builds can determine the out come of the match but only to an extent.
when you get a thief who knows where to rotate, know when to leave when to come etc even hes not good mechanically, it’s still gonna be deadly and crucial for fights.

and it’s even more reliable to win in soloq, when you can fast CC without major CDs

farther more i was more comparing zerkers to zerkers, because shoutheal in soloq is just too boring for me..but that’s just me

TBH the hammer medi guard is already part support.

Or they could lower the CD on mending, so that i can actually sustain you.

well as a thief, lich do me 9k in one auto, but that’s nothing new.
only news is they fixed downstate so now downstate does amazing damage.

Yea, i don’t like the exp name, heart of w/e is cool for the first time or two then it becomes boring

i like the FF14 exp’s name, Heavensward. pretty cool.

Supreme.3164:

Pls do explain me how an invulnerability on 50s CD will help you to stay alive for any decent amount of time against any of the current meta build.

exactly, they really need to buff endure pain and berserker stance, heh

choovanski.5462:

loosing vs turret engi is the actual proof of your scrublife. like, just use a ranged weapon and kill the rocket turret first. no so hard bruh, dude has no stunbreak it’s easymode.

I would love you duel you with my turret engi.

I knew someone who died falling down stairs. Please remove all stairs from the game and have no mention of them. Thanks, ANet.

This is literally not the same, you probably will not find it funny if a lot of people just died from falling down the stairs and suddenly anet make every one insta death when being on stairs for one day.

http://www.planecrashinfo.com/cause.htm

Plane deaths have been between 500 but less than 1000 annually.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/790609.stm

Over 1000 die annually from stairs.

Spare me the righteous do-gooder act. People seek offence because its what gets them off. Media hype is a disease. Something tragic happened, no need to shut down everything that looks like an airplane because of it. In a simple phrase, grow up…

.No…the point is not about anything that looks like an airplane, is about hosting an related event right after the incident

How is it related?

Airplan? crash?

azurrei.5691:

Man you people all salty over no SAB (ha!) sure are grasping straws over this airplane april fools joke, aren’t ya? Seriously, if you don’t like it don’t play for a day or ten – you will not be missed. It was a funny april fools joke – trying to draw parallels to real life events just because you don’t like something is pretty ridiculous.

People with attitude like azurrei should really immediately be permanent banned from any online game and everyone will be happy for it.

Zero Day.2594:

o.O
Sometimes I get the impression that thieves don’t have any resources (or an infinite pool) and no CD’s on utilities/heals.
I must be doing something wrong when (once in a while) I play it.

imo, if you actually position yourself properly, theres multiple down time in which you can regenerate initiative.

and utilities are mostly used for saves and disengage, so it’s rarely touched and disengage also buy you time for CD.

withdraw is just generally a low CD heal in which you can easily cover up till it’s up again.

i bet they are all turret engis

this will bring soloq raging to a next level

Trying to remember from last year, did the Fool’s day event trigger on the night of the 31st or just on 4/1?

Curious since its also a normal patch day this year. And yes looking forward to any skulduggery they might send our way.

Searching the forums via google, I have found a thread commenting on last year’s April Fools that was made on March 31st, at 23:23 (11:23pm) Eastern Time.

So it seems that last year the bobblehead went into effect prior to midnight in Eastern time.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/April-Fools-Bobble-Heads/3841111

There may be other threads commenting on the bobble heads prior to this, but this thread at least shows that it did become active prior to midnight Eastern.

you are evil sylvari

Thing is no staff ele ever sits in earth and spam 1. Ele works differently, you go through attuenements so you get the finishers probably like 20% of time. Hammer revenant on the other hand will always have the finisher on his auto attack.

Thing is revenant doesnt have weapon swap nor 20 weapon skills like ele+another 4 utility which counts as 24 skills total. In comprasion revenant comes with 5 weapon skills and 8 utility for a total of 15.

So? That doesn’t mean anything, it’s about projectile finisher not number of skills. Ele’s skills have much higher cooldowns than revenant’s.

So? That doesn’t mean anything, it’s about number of skills not cooldowns. Rev’s skills also consumes energy and ele doesnt.

panic strike = 20066 S/D > 26006 D/P >26060 S/D

High cheese level > low cheese level.

Toxsa.2701:

In short, this skill is a 0 CD stun break, 0 CD stability, 0 CD endure pain to 5 allies, and has 100% up time.

I’m pretty sure that‘s why thief is so stronk.
0 CD teleports, 0 CD blinds, 0 CD bursts, 0 CD daze, 0 CD poison, 0 CD cleave damage, 0 CD aoes
trinkery steal the most powerful skill in this game with only 20 CD, no cast time.

Since when did people start to call high stab uptime op
while DD ele and survival ranger have insane high protection up time….

Sir Vincent III.1286:

Dodging is for the good players, with fast reflexes, and heavenly internet connection which is the top 1% of the Thief community. What about the other 99%? Or those who are bad in playing Thief, with slow reflexes, and dial-up internet connection? What about them?

Dodging is for good players, when you have limited dodges.
it becomes more and more brainless as the amount of dodges you possess increases
(the clear difference is S/D and D/P, not even going to take about other builds/classes, note D/P has other spammable defense mechanics, but the topic is dodging here, so..)

Zerker Warrior is incredibly glassy. Thieves, Mesmers and Guards are much tougher thanks to their class skills. Armor and extra 5k health does nothing.

Lol wut? You forgot to mention healing signet, this adds a huge amount of tankiness. Thieves and mesmers can be pretty evasive, but I can sneeze and have a thief fold up and die. That will never happen with even the glassiest warrior. Guards are pretty tanky with their cooldowns up, but once they blow them they die pretty fast. Also, if you are running hammer the interrupts and knockdowns provide quite a bit of damage mitigation. The only thing warriors have going against them is their low mobility if not running swords makes them easy to target (even if they aren’t the quickest kill).

because healing signet is burst healing that suits perfectly for zerkers.

There is a lot of burst in sPvP yet it seems like every warrior I ever see takes healing signet. Defiant stance and healing surge both seem like better choices for healing when being focused, but they are never/rarely used. Continuous passive healing is just amazingly strong and warriors just don’t die fast enough (even if full zerk) to make the burst healing better.

Because non of those burst healing are actually enough burst healing

the thing is, with sd thief, you can dodge/stealth to cover the burst healing CD down time, mesmer can kit/stealth to cover heal down time, engi can low CD block, stealth, CC to cover healing skill down time.
and reason why shelter is so much better then signet heal from guardian, because shelter can block way more burst damage that signet heal (even alot) still can’t be compared. what warriors can do? nothing, use your heal and then get kitted to death, endure pain has long cd, limited dodges, telegraphed CCs, you can do nothing to cover your heal CD you take all the damage and die, that’s why warrior was completely dead back in 2013

warrior does not take healing signet because it’s better, warrior take healing signet, because it’s the only heal, because all of them active heal are incredible bad.
you see, healing signet was also completely un usable before the buff.

Its funny to see all the thieves run to this thread and call this guy a troll.

Fact is the OP is spot on. Thieves are extremely easy to play effectively

this, enough said.
champion shadow since 2013.

i think it looks like a girl

I have a more exciting nerf, increase the initiative cost by 0.5 for using the thing two times for that skill.

Pet res is OP whether or not you can do those things. It’s not a L2P issue.

And mistform into portal is op. And necro downed state is op dmg. And mesmer/thief invis/teleports are op.

See a pattern? Stupid thread.

what about warrior and engi tho
