Blah blah blah…

I’m confused. You don’t play xPvP because you don’t like the limited nature of the game mode (i.e. point capture), so you play WvW and just choose to take and hold objectives to get people to come and fight you?

Isn’t that basically the same thing?

Or is it that there are no uplevels in xPvP?

I think the wording is misleading, it removes those conditions from allies and heals YOU for the amount listed for each condition you clear.

At least, that’s what it seems like.

Eng.Turrets don't Trigger Perplexity Runes

Posted by: lunyboy.8672

lunyboy.8672

But still, either all minions should trigger runes/ sigils, or none should.

Imagine you’d use the RataSum runeset with autocast RadiationField on hit. Would you complain if your turrets don’t cast RadiationField when they get hit?

When the turrets are detonated, they cease being minions and go on a long cool down. They are more like “mines” at that point, only having to be manually detonated, and should allow for the procing of the rune set.

But whatever, most engineers don’t run turrets anyway because they are amazingly buggy, the majority of the traits are broken, the cool downs are stupidly long, and the “minion health upgrade” didn’t get applied to them.

Seriously after reading all these nerf threads you people have it wrong.. I was fighting a thief in spvp with my heal signet on (600 reg) and we were ranging from far , now u c I have 30 in defence but this little grunt could still damage me , max defence shud mean 0 dmg.

I mean he barely got me down 2k go before I hammer stunned him into next year but I feel defence trait is not strong enuf.
Plz implement portal and stealth on warrior next patch

Aren’t you a bit too old for this kind of trolling(bad ones at that) threads?

We have to do something when we are stunned for 4 minutes at a time…

Zero Attunement Swap CD

The answer isn’t about balance or overpowered skills.

The answer is that it would effectively give us a 25-skills action bar and that’s not what the game is about. The reason there’s an internal cooldown is to give you limitations to make the game interesting. Would chess be fun if every piece could move to any square on the board?

These limitations that you speak of do not exist for engineers. They don’t even lose utility slots for their kits.

Yes they do. To include a kit in a build, Engies have to slot the kit in a utility slot. Additionally, engies are subject to the same lack of weapon swap eles are.

Perhaps I misunderstand your complaint.

Toolbelt skills is what I’m referring to. And, depending on the kit, some of them are pretty freaking good.

If you mean the tool belt skill replaces the utility slot, that’s a fine answer, but then, you have 4 sets of attunements for each weapon set in various configurations. If you want to swap out to something like kits, try conjures, then you can share your “kit” with other players.

I run a LH ele in dungeons over my Engineer in which I invested 2,000 hours, because I find it more fun, she generates more DPS and provides superior offensive support (as well as some defensive).

Don’t try to compare the two, the only reason people think engineer is “in a good place” right now is because it can condition spam like a necro while having reasonable movement and build like a bunker.

But for dungeon DPS, engineer is dead last.

Ideally, people will be buying refined mats of the lower levels, and unrefined mats in T5-T6 to level up crafting.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the price is stable for the first week or two, because everyone is stockpiling mats.

HoD commanders and group dynamics

in WvW

Posted by: lunyboy.8672

lunyboy.8672

SM is an albatross, staple it to your opponents forehead if they want it so bad. make it hard to take and pound it relentlessly to make sure they are exhausting supply if they try to keep it.

As a resident of HoD, I can tell you 3 things:

1. Communication works both ways, if you want more information, ask more questions, most ppl on our server will kindly tell you anything you want to know. I am one of them.

2. If you don’t like a commander’s style, there are others to choose from, dozens and dozens, in fact, and some have issues with suppression they are so chatty in map, and need others to interpret for them. Some small groups will go havoc-style and not even follow a tag but avoid the zerg and cap camps, sentries, and points.

3. Our TS is NOT just for commands/intel, but for community-building. If you are in TS, get used to a little bit of personality coming through, there are many fine people with big personalities on our server, commanding, running in groups, running in guild teams, small and large, and it does take some getting used to. But it is worthwhile. If you don’t like that, find a channel with less cross chatter, and be prepared to observe and report.

Hi, pawned. This is pulled from the Tracker: Reported Bugs and Their Status [collaborative effort by players] sticky thread.

This linked thread also includes the quicker un-equip, re-equip of all armor workaround for that specific issue. Unfortunately there is still no word from devs if they have plans to fix this rune set or when such a fix might go in if it is on their list of runes to fix.

You are a credit to the player base. Kudos.

For damage, yes.

For vulnerability? It’s amazing.

The OP was asking if an engineer could keep up 25 stacks of vulnerability. I think this build can do that, with a bit more theory-crafting.

Here’s an engineer vulnerability build. Not really able to do the math for vuln at work, at least not right now.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fcEQJAqel0piYX3y2F1LJx4DdGkCAbXRFy/XG0PtA-jACBYNBk0AkSAINqIasFhFRjVFBTriIq2JoIa1CBsYBA-e

Very low power, despite exotic armor, will provide 3 stacks of might and fury about every 10 seconds, as well as maintaining around 20 stacks of vulnerability with the +85% condition duration.

I did use giver’s exotic weapons, though, since it doesn’t matter what weapons you use on Engineer, the kit damage will always be BIS (exotic) at that level. You could opt for a level ~60 engineer, though, that would have access to the traits, runes and sigils, but not the exo gear and wouldn’t have the BiS issue with kits.

The rotation would ideally be GK 1, GK3, TB-Analyze, GK 1…

With alternatives being switching to elixir gun and using fumigate, or slotting net turret to proc vuln on immobilize.

There is some necessary math to determine which rotation would be ideal while doing the absolute least damage.

This does rely on crit procs for vulnerability in both a sigil and a trait, and that could be changed if there is even more damage reduction needed.

Edit: wording.

Not at all, I know you have it bad playing your guardian in wvw, and I don’t want to make you feel worse. Guards are so underpowered at the moment, I would probably run away from fights, too.

I heard using those guard leech buffs and stuff helps, though.

I wish I played my guard enough to be able to get guard leech :*( Alas, I have alts! I’ll keep your sound advice in mind when I can finally get it in 4 months or so!

Now’s the time, there are SO MANY under-levels everywhere, I started bringing out my level 7 warrior for fights.

I dont believe those gambits were for permanent dungeons tbh. And if they were I suspect it was just an idea. I dont expect to see them ever actually appearing.

That’s kind of a shame, I know a lot of the hardcore dungeon folks like soloing, and if you got better rewards for it, it would raise the level of the community a bit past just bragging rights.

It actually sounds very frustrating to me. (“Hilarious” is probably supposed to make him feel inferior I get it).

No, I assure you, watching a larger force retreat from the field when they could easily engage, is very, very funny. I suppose it isn’t as funny as DYING to the smaller force, but I stand behind it.

Theoretically, how would one do CoF P1 with less than 5, the braziers seem pretty unlikely to allow for a clever workaround, and even if you had a thief shadow step from the closest one into the room, you couldn’t do it with less than 4…

You guys should realise by know, that anet doesn’t give a funk about wvw, they focus on spvp and the esport; they try to force players to go and play spvp with every ridiculous patch. there is more and more players in wvw from pve, but the point is, that those players do not care about that gamemode, they are there because of the achievments, easy karma, xp. now it is even worse with the leagues as you can all see. thing is, that anet has the monopol for wvw type of game at the moment as there is no other that could compete. Now, when pve ppl don’t care about queues or skill lags and such, because they will ewentually get in while they are doing pve stuff, but more and more players are actually leaving the game because of the current state and the way devs treats wvw. There will be point, when most of people will get their achievments = less queues, but as soon as other wvw type of game comes out, serious gamers will be gone, so the maps will be empty. they should wake up much earlier, support gvg type of gameplay and come on… spvp-esport is a joke…

Exposing WvW to a wider audience isn’t going to kill it.

Agreed. This is the most fun I have in wvw in months.

You PvP guys should go back to PvP if that’s all you are interested in, you don’t want the “PvE buffoons” wasting your map space, there is a whole dedicated game mode for that, and if you want to ignore points like you ignore towers just to gank uplevels, you can try that as well.

What’s that? You don’t want to give up your OP food and guard leach? Too bad, then.

Just got a pretty good idea for a mob you could use, although it might not be as great as I think myself.

Sotzz the Scallywag? He always spawns at the same spot, all you need to do is punt him out of his shield and you’ve got a pretty weak enemy (especially if you don’t have many people) that doesn’t move or do much.

Downsides:

  • need to get him, although for all the guild bounties I’ve done, Sotzz has been pretty common. If you pop t3 bounties, you’ll get him quite easily.
  • open world, PUGs might screw up your test
  • only a limited time outside of his shield means you need to time your CC and punts really well

Doesn’t he have defiant? That would be a PITA for one person to pull off the defiant (~3) and yoink him out of his ring for a DPS test, and may lead to non-optimized CC skills being slotted. Also, this would be easier for some professions over others, in some cases, an optimized thief, for instance, can spam pistol whip to pull of stacks, but would need to slot scorpion wire to pull.

Wait… is this sarcasm? I am truly curious about this test, so I will be discussing this in earnest from now on.

KN is too kitten to hit HoD ironically if they would this match would be close. Week 6 HoD/FC/SF is the real championship match.

This would have been way more interesting. No one from any server will stray from the zerg, if i catch a HoD or KN player wander a bit from his zerg, he wps or runs at full speed. This match is boring, Kn is a kitten who won’t defend any of its stuff or EB for that matter. HoD is dominating Kn and taking its stuff, while Kn comes to our Bl instead of taking care of their own stuff. Atleast SF would have given HoD a fair fight. Lets not forget that SF would turn on us for PPT though lol.

Welcome to Leagues, where fair weathers hump the legs of the all mighty blue diamond, and roam groups stop roaming because no one else is roaming because they get run over by the people who use to roam that aren’t roaming but blobbing.

yeah Im not saying your server is bad, just too many PvEr’s and fairweathers out there. I ran into several people that did 1v1 me and then I killed them. Soon after no one would stray from the zerg anymore. On top of that I have to ditch my roaming build because I just get spammed Immob from warriors, seriously every group I come across i mainly get killed by warriors somehow immobing me to death, even my stun breaker doesn’t work. I have to spend 2 stun breakers before I break free and sad part is by then my blink will reveal me…

it’s a warrior trait called leg specialist in conjunction with sword mh1. Also, you play a mesmer, soooo pvp easy mode gogogogo.

I hope you know what you are talking about lol. If you think a mesmer can pvp easy mode, sure against 1 person, but zerg wise, please make a mesmer play against warriors spamming sword , come back to me and teach me the build, plase it should be so easy, k thnx I will be waiting. Oh my bad I forgot you are a guardian, zerg easy mode GG.

it’s a warrior trait called leg specialist in conjunction with sword mh1. Also, you play a mesmer, soooo pvp easy mode gogogogo.

Needs Some Help with AC

I’m playing support ele and I have never had such a problem, i just heal/buff everyone and noone dies Too bad that in the most cases ppl just want everyone to be full berserkers and don’t want me sometimes…

I’d take a support ele over yet another zerk guy… the contribution and difference they make, specially while pugging with random people is amazing.

Most of the support in this game is hard coded into skills/traits with little scalability from gear. Gearing for anything except dps only prolongs a fight opening the party up to further attacks. A berserker ele played well can support just as well but also deals like 5x more damage so the threat is eliminated faster.

I know, but I still prefer someone who likes paying support and does it well rather than someone who will go min/max toward dps and be on water for like 1 second to go back to another elem. I’m no one to judge how others enjoy their video game time so I won’t poke on someone who can’t dodge, this (ele) guy will let him last longer and have more fun, thus, I’ll have more fun and we can all laugh like a bunch of ewoks in the forest while slashing foes without worries.

Besides I couldn’t care less about how long the dungeon is, I don’t pretend to have better things to do when I’m actually on my relaxing time enjoying a video game. Unemployed kids tend to do this and get nervous if they “waste time” (biggest irony, they are playing a kitten video game!). I can’t care less for their “eliteness”.

So, hands down, come on in dedicated support guy making our life easier.

Ps. I’m sorry if I’m bringing common sense to the table, I know not many forum posters can handle that.

I Definitely don’t want to get in the middle of this, as I can see both sides pretty clearly, but FYI – a LH ele will be in water for the majority of the time they are swinging the lightning hammer (at least in the build I started with), but this doesn’t equal support, as they don’t have anything but the hammer skills available.

Also should be pointed out, for people who don’t realize it (lunyboy), that the elite players put out guides like crazy. Poobutt bads don’t. So who’s a bigger help to the community?

People who don’t get banned regularly for being rude?

That’s just a guess, though.

4 maps queued, and once I got in, questions in map chat about how to accomplish the ’Chieves. Lol. I think ANet has a unofficial person in charge of Troll content, and this person suggests ideas and shuffles departments work around to subtly troll the user base. Why else would endless guild banner tonic even exist, and be so incredibly expensive?

In other news, we at HoD should probably be focused on training for Silver league, so throw all your craziest tactics and strategies at us; and don’t forget to let the Yak-slapping PvE folks know that some of the Yaks are actually [VLK], and their achievement is NOT bugged.

we could go on about this all day but to shorten it down, yes we insult them, yes we dislike them, not because we’re mean but because they refuse to listen, or read the LFG, and most importantly they refuse to try and be better players
edit: fixed spelling

Lol.

I know when I insult people and yell at them, it makes them QUITE receptive to my point of view.

Well played.

Disappointed with the change to box of nails

What’s more, after testing the poison field on Thieves’ short bow, it poisons mobs, but doesn’t put you in combat.

Bit of a double standard there. And I agree with the animation time, and longevity of the nails, they don’t seem to be a serious skill for combat at all.

I feel like we, HoD, have a shot at winning, but I am more excited to fight more evenly matched servers!

And win or lose, good luck to all the bronze league, get vids and have fun, we will be the envy of the entire NA server-sphere before these matches are over!

Good hunting!

1. Consider the various elements of pvp that are present in wvw, that are absent in sPvP and tPvP beyond just siege. These boons/buffs might feel more balanced with a stronger come-back mechanic in outnumbered that would include buffs across the board, in supply, siege cost, even gate/wall HP.

2. A robust training area for walking new people through the various aspects of siege, the wxp lines, supply necessity, etc. before they can just queue a map. The intro videos are OK, but on the job training for a lot of wvw can lead to frustration on both sides.

3. A time-based retrograde score weighting, that accounts for the change in population of a server. This would allow for a more accurate week-to-week score of a server over time, as transfers and server coordination shift so much and so quickly. Any scores from 15 weeks ago backward would be multiplied by .5 and that number would increase to 5 weeks ago for a multiplier of 1.

This has been bothering me... "The Meta"

D&D invented the metagaming term…

metagaming has been an element of games like chess and go for centuries.

Chess is like…. 90% metagaming

Unlike rock, paper, scissors, which is exactly 100% metagaming, or 0% depending on who you believe.

Personally, the Most Effective Tactic Available is going to be my new go-to for why people call things META-builds for each profession.

I think Anet waits for what they call “The Meta” to develop in response to buffs and nerfs on a profession by profession basis. For instance, there has been a heavy condition Meta-game for quite a while, whereby certain professions have been able to be effective against most other professions using condition-bunker builds, and the response to that has been the Melandru Runes/lemongrass soup builds with varying degrees of trait investment to counter that “condition meta.”

When you equip condition cleanse, you are planning ahead for countering that meta on some level, just like when you take a stun break for a utility.

Some of the shifts in their idea of the meta for balance have seemed… ill-timed however, such as moving around stun breaks on non-heavy classes just in time for the hammer-warrior meta-builds to become the flavor of the month.

I have no issues in using meta in most of these ways, though, since when you look at the “over-game” you are essentially considering the “meta” implications of certain tactics, tools, etc.

On the upside, you can karma train in wvw, or run fractals with those boosters for quite a bit of a boost. It isn’t as good as saving hundreds of jugs and burning through them with the boosters, but since we can’t do that anymore, it isn’t terrible.
