0/5/30/30/5 is at the same level as 0/0/30/30/10, is just a matter of preference. I prefer 0/5/30/30/5 with triple shout, but if you go with Santuary the last option is better.
Warriors don’t need any buff in any area. What they need is quite the opposite of a buff, but let not do that otherwise the QQ will never end. (Warrior is my fourth character and I must tell, I should have done it before, this think is OP as f***)
Guardian can do some damage, but comparing to the OP God Mode Warrior in PvE about damage is kinda silly. No class in PvE can do as much damage as Warrior.
WvW and PvP, depends on spec, but Guardian in both of those modes usually go for bunker specs. Warrior in those can go either Bunker (Mace/Shield & GS builds) or damage and, if played well, manage to do pretty good.
And for commanding? I already have a build for commanding has I asked in another topic but I’m allways looking for new styles that I can try ater so I don’t get bored with the class (I’m currently lvling a Warrior and being able to use so many spec is what motivates me to lvlup, every time I get new gear I try something different)
For commanding, as we need more Survivability maybe this is a better setup:
Noob question
I never notice but is AH like Strengh in Numbers? It works on you? So everytime you get a boon you heal?
Also, would be Glacial Heart a nice trait to go with too?
Also, loved the Pokemon tone in your video
AH works only on yourself, ~72 heal per boon
Strenght in numbers is +150 toughness on yourself +5 allies
and glacial heart has 30 sec cooldown so its pretty useless :>
the pokemon tone is a remix from lindsey stirling <3
@AgentChaos: I look forward to it =)
Yeah I know but it is for boons applied to allies, what I asked is if it is as Strengh in Numbers, which in this case says 150 toughness to allies but it also applies to you once you enter combat. I allways had the idea that it was only if you applied to allys and because of it I pretty much hated that trait, but if it works on you, as if you are an ally and so it heals you for every boon you apply to yourself, then the situation changes and I kinda like that trait then xD
Noob question

Thanks for the update guys
But I decided to stay with my Guardian. I just don’t know how long I will command (only tried once yet, but I did not found any major treat at that time, but zerg combat is meh for me)
Kinda sick of French and German….
Kinda tired of this idiotic matchups. Seriously ANet you must be having a good laugh with UW thinking that we have a chance with this servers. Twice!!
The new system is proved to be really good indeed
Thank you everyone who suggesting GH, but we are now really balanced and expect some night coverage, we don’t need more transfers, and I don’t know what success you will have to start a guild from zero here, as majority of GH WvW players are already in WvW focused guilds who organize either open mic events or run tagless.
My suggestion, if you want to help a server go Underworld, shame to see once glorious server to fall like that. In ’’bronze’’ league, you can go RoF or something like that.
Good luck.
This!!
We in Underworld need all the help we can get since basicly all WvW guilds (the big ones) just left the server.
If you have already some base members for your guild here you will get notice pretty fast Imo since, as I said, not much WvW guilds left
I just don’t know if I should use Soldier or Knight GS :S
Anyway the build is pretty much done, I also have everything Exotic and 1 Ring Ascended, now is just testing and see which weapons I work best
Once again thanks for all feedback and help given till the final build
Just more 28g and I get to be a commander
Okay guys, after some more research and feedback, and the idea to try Meditations (I have allways used Shouts so I’m a bit tired of it) this I problably going to be my final build:
So what do you guys think about this? I am thinking in also try Hammer/Greatsword combo since without healing power (300 is prety much nothing) the staff would only be useful for might, but since I need survivability so much and I will be new to command, Hammer is problably better because I almost sure will have allways at least one Guardian with staff. So this is the build with Hammer:
One final note, with this build I am only taking Exotics because I have only Ascended Cleric stuff and I am going to take now Berserker stuff for PvE (Fractals) and then Knights. Also Exotics give me the chance to try the build style without much loss, so if I for instance don’t like it, it allows me to go back for the Clerics.
Hi
I have a similiar topic in the Guardian section. So here is the deal, i want to become a commander. My server have been suffering a lot with a lost of alot of players in the WvW and so I want to become a commander and try to help invert the situation.
I Have a topic like this in the Guardian section because I have a lvl 80 Guardian, but I also have a lvl 29 Warrior. After researching for builds for Warrior I have found this that I would love to try but with the recent balance changes I want to know if you guys think is still viable (my knowledge for Warrior is still very limited)
Hey guys.
So I’m planning into becaming a commander, since my server lost a lot of commanders and WvW due to the seasons and drama between certain guilds (from what I’ve heard). So since I want to still enjoy my WvW I thought that I might try and give a shoot at commanding. This will require me to come back and play my Guardian again, something I don’t do in a while since I fall in love with my Thief.
I’ve talked with some previous guild mates that changed servers, one of them behing a commander and they recommend this as build:
My question here is, if the recommended build is the best spec for a new commander (that is a bit rusty with the class) or is my current spec fine to any new commander and as I get to be better at commanding and with the class I should change for the recommended spec?
Sure, wvw sucks for us but is has since this time last year when 90% of wvwers left for whatever server was currently winning at the time.
Trains run like clockwork, World bosses bring crowdscenes…
Maybe you want to move server and dont want to pay?
No I just want to be able to do the same content as most Very High populated servers without have to guest and possible have to change server.
And WvW is a joke, Idk how that works but for god sake, allways against servers with zergs with more than double of ours when they clap. To get things worse, since from month we are allways last we are allways the easy target, and guess what, 2 vs 1, with the other 2 having a battle if they face eachother. Like seriously, if I want to enjoy WvW I want to have a chance of winning. Go there to run and then get wiped isn’t funny.
don’t ask me why they left because Idk why (although I would like to know)
Not giving you the full story, but basicly there were quite a few decent wvw guilds on UW not to long ago. UW was a decent WvW-server. But even then, there was always alot of drama, due to certain people with very inflated egos (some of which are still on UW). This drama led to a few core guilds leaving long before leagues.
When leagues were anounced, UW was rank 18. That meant last spot in Silver league, not a very desirable position, considering that back then we thought we`d get decent rewards. UW could however have just stopped playing for a week, thus dropping to rank 19, which meant 1st place in bronze league with chances of winning it. Some guilds wanted to this, other guild leaders were against this. In the end, UW did not drop to 19th place, and it became clear that they would be last in SL.
This lead some guilds to leave the server, basicly because they didn`t want to get owned in every matchup for 2 months and get the worst loot for it in the end. These guilds leaving left UW in an even weaker state, which means they`d get owned even harder. This in turn, caused other guilds who didn`t initially plan on leaving, to leave. The process continued until there were only 3 wvw guilds left when the season ended. One of these has now lost hope and left aswell, leaving UW with 2 semi active wvw-guilds and a PvE population with no interest in the finer arts of wvw-ing. This again, is the reason i transferred to another server this week.
This all went alot deeper than i described here, but this is the essence of why UW died. Anet`s brilliant league implementation played a large role in it, but there were symptoms long before that.
Great. So there’s really no hope right?
I heard about that weak when it was planned for us to change to rank 19. I almost sure that those who didn’t wanted to drop, just left as well by now.
Well I would love to start commanding, but I love Thief to much to do my Guardian or Warrior main by now, and since Thief don’t do that great for zergs, commanding with it isn’t that of an option (even though, as the server is right now, I bet most wouldn’t even care)
The population column on the server selection list has nothing to do with the number of concurrent players on the server. It is an indication of how many Player Accounts are based on that server. If enough Accounts transfer off your server and are not replaced with Accounts transferring on or new Accounts joining your server, the level will drop to High.
So my server is full of inactive accounts? Because all the active players in WvW that really want to do WvW moved, and when they did we were actually not that bad, we even formed some allainces and guilds specialized in WvW, don’t ask me why they left because Idk why (although I would like to know)
Hi guys
So today I’m here to ask about the servers population. Is that ever updated? Was ever updated?
Why do I ask this? Well because I play in the Underworld server, in Europe and there is no way, but NO WAY that, that server is still a Very High populated server. For months since a bit before the first season of WvW started we have been allways in last every week. CoF, the most farmed dgn in the game if it gets open, is once a day, world bosses with less than half that used to have and it’s rare to have any champ train. I only get in a overflow in LA if there is an update that is heavily there like Winterday and it is only the first few days.
When will you update this? Thanks to the WvW seasons, basicly all searious WvW players left (so yeah we are just loot bags to other servers) and since it still says that we are in the Very High population server the price to switch servers is really high, so yeah, everybody leaves and nobody joins.
Please fix this as soon as possible, at leats before the new season of WvW starts
Hey guys
So a 2 months back I asked if I could do Fractals with a Thief, if the class would be viable and usefull. I got pretty good feedback, like I should allways go with a set of ranged weapons (Shortbow and Pistols) and it would be better to go with sword. Trait lines I did not got so much feed.
So today I decided to think of something quick, and what I got here I think it could work, although I would like some feedback from experienced players
Also, I don’t knwo which runes to use so I though of the Ogre for some reason (They are not bad for damage and I can summon a pet which could help I think) and in this I have 10/30/10/20/0 but I would like to know if 10/30/0/30/0 would be better with Quick Pockets, so that way whenever I switch to P/P I can do more Unloads
I’d switch to Soldier’s for sure. You will lose 150 healing power and the extra boon duration, but I honestly think you can make it work considering the extra health and toughness you’ll be picking up. The way the meta has shifted forces us to play more offensively when alone or in small roaming parties. Power bunkers are impractical against condition spammers, and that’s what you’re going to run into a lot of the time right now. That isn’t to say building/playing tanky won’t work, it’s still good to make defense-conscious decisions; DPS is just more important than it used to be.
And they’re unlikely to sticky it because it has a “name” attached to it which does not directly relate to any of its core functions (i.e. the traits or what-not, like AH builds). I don’t know that 100%, but it’s something that was stated by someone else a while back.
I’ll do that then.
I asked because as I said i spent all my gold on a cleric set, which was about 30 gold, and even though I might buy another one for zerg play I need to have the best option for roaming since zerg isn’t exactly my thing for now, it might start to be soon but for now it isn’t.
Btw another thing not related to this build. Will you make any video soon? I like you channel and I wouldn’t like to vanish again
So I used to run this build with full cleric except the armor, so today I’ve spent all my gold on a Cleric armor set.
Would you recomend me to stick with boon duration or switch to the Soldier Runes since there are so many players running conditions nowadays?
Edit: Make this topic sticky already, this is one of the few viable roaming builds for Guardians
I think you haven’t gotten much advice because the topic has been covered quite a bit. If you search the forum, you will find many threads on the same idea. None of them are too encouraging because you will only be mediocre for both aspects of the game. They are so different that the gearing is almost on opposite ends of the spectrum.
You builds don’t focus on any one particular thing so … for doing both, I guess it’s OK. Pretty much anything middle of the road will be perform average. You simply need to play it and figure out what you don’t like about it.
I see what’s your point. So either I go full damage or I go, as I am right now, defencive (Healway build)
Well I wanted to make more damaging Guardian sisnce I got to play with a Thief. Don’t think that I want the ame with both classes because I don’t, I just got used to the small fight’s and big number’s, so I would like to see soem of those number on my Guardian. I think I’ll role a Warrior then, I have 1 build ofr roaming that I really want to try with Warrior
Isn’t it great when you look for advice and all you get is nothing? Really guys?
Anyway I’ll be more specific
Fow WvW I mean roaming. In theory would any of those 2 be viable? I can also try them for my self but losing pretty much all my money now for soemthing that can not work in the future kinda sucks, and since I don’t have much money (60g was my maximum I ever got and now I have 56) and I also wanted to buy cultural tier 3 I would like to have some ideas before getting deeper into this
I want your thoughs about this build that i though about.
I want it for WvW and PvE, but for PvE I would do some changes into the traits (I would take out 5 of Honor and put it into Radiance.
I can get everything today (except Ascended Thinket’s, it would be Exotic for now) so I want to try it out but before I would like some opinions on it. I think I have played Guardian for enough time to try make a build but Idk I’m never sure about what it comes out. Anyway here is the build:
Hey guys
Here I will present you a suggestion for a possible future item for the gem store. I did not name it but here it is how the item would work.
Similiar to the recent Transmutations spliter what this item/scroll would do is take a soulbound item a make it accountbound again so that we could take it to another character.
I though of this because I have the Bone Pick in my Elementalist, as I have in my Guardian and I have the Molten Aliance pick in my Thief. The thing is I from a months now never used my Elementalist again, this might sound silly but I put ir there because I had 1 pick left and since my Ele was the only one with no permanent gathering tool I put it there because I though someday I would play with it again, but I will not, in fact I just did not delete it yet because of the Bone Pick being there (it only have exotic items). So with this item I could take the Pick out of my Ele and put it to another character (as for example my new Warrior that I’m loving and will be playing for quite a while). The same with Legendary weapons, if I have one of those, for example in my Guardian, but don’t feel like to play Guardian again (right now I only play with my Thief) and I have a Sunrise there, with this I could tranfer the Sunrise to my Warrior (this is just an example because I don’t have a Legendary weapon).
I think an item like this would be of a great deal and great help. In my case it would be because as I’m so used to the permanent pick and axe I just forget to buy new ones and whenever I need them again I don’t have any shop close and having to go back buy new ones in the midle of exploration or a heart is kinda of a pain in the … and since the Bone Pick is gone it can be mounth until the next one (I’m still hoping that they bring it back at Chrismas), so an item like the one I descrebid I could just pick the one from my Ele that I don’t use anymore and put it on some character that I will use (since even if Warrior doesn’t become my main it will problably because the farming one, so I will be playing on it)
Still nothing changed, I already reported as a bug in-game. I also have discovered that only humans and norn move their head and sylvari, charr or asura don’t, at least in my computer.
Idk if it is a bug or something changed in my client without me noticing
Maybe you’re experiencing some kind of bug? My sylvari always turns her head to look at the npcs/mobs i target, and even when she’s just standing and i move the camera with the right mouse button, she would turn her head the way the camera is facing. So she’s definitely not stiff because she’s made of wood…
It has to be that then, a bug, because I try to turn his head around everyday and he never does.
I’ll make another Sylvari to see if I still have the problem
Hey guys
Idk if anyone else notice but, if I play with my Human Thief and look for someone or somewhere, the character turn his head around to see it. Same with my Asura and even I don’t have I know that it is the same with Norn and Char. Why?
I know it is a minor detail but still, I feel like the character is dumb. For example in the latest patch, when the asura NPC was talking my character was just looking somewhere else because of this, while my human would look to the NPC. This doesn’t contributes in anything but this minor details sometimes really bug me.
It’s because we are made of wood and can’t do some movements like other races? It’s the only excuse I can come up with since I also notice that the movement animations are diferent from Sylvari to Human (Sylvari almost looks like a robot, at least this was my first impression when I created my Sylvari)
Okay thanks guys
As I never used these 2 weapons all that much I didn’t know if it were possible but now I know it’s not. I guess I’ll continue with my GS and S/F Healway build
Here I took Honorable Shield so that I can have the knockback and heal faster. Both Sigil of Energy because I too used to play with the heal on dodge. It’s a great minor Trait. I’m not sure if those are the best Runes
This build problably works just fine, even though the mace is a slow weapon i will still do damage and I can get pretty good support also. I took Tome of Courage so that If I need some quick team heals, but the other Tome or even Renewed Focus works problably
Now this here is just some quick though’s, so I would like to know if, first of all, is it possible to play this style of game (WvW Roaming mainly) with this weapon set, and if it is how can this build get better.
Right what I needed
Well Norn Ranger here we go, I just hope I like the bows (I kinda like the style but never played much, except with my first experience with MMO’s, in my first MMORPG I used an Archer and i really liked it, too bad the class was kinda broken in the game and did not really worked in PvE, and to get to PvP we need to go trough PvE)
Hey guys
So recently one of my characters made 1 year, so I got the lvl up boost that gets your character up to 20. With this I decided to do a new alt and get it to 80 but I can’t decide between 2 characters:
Norn Ranger or Char Warrior
Now, I know somethings about Warrior and Ranger is almost completly new to me, so I wanted to base my choice in the lore of both races and if both classes fit the race in lore.
What I can see is that they fit since both herous from those races are those classes but still I would like to hear about someone who have already played with these races (I have done almost every story option with the charr till lvl 16, never made 1 norn)
Also, is Ranger difficult to lvl up/master? I know Warrior isn’t so that why I’m asking about the Ranger. I already have Guardian as almost main and I know how easy the class is, and because of that I think I get the feel of need to change so many times
This is my current set
Let me explain a few things
The rune of air is there because Idk I can’t add a gem into my legs, I think that might be because I bough them with WvW Badges
I did some changes, my healing skill, the runes and type of the Daggers, now I have Berserker. I also changed Elite skill, since most of the time I will do WvW with this (roaming) the extra mobility is really nice
Any thoughts?
Blasting Staff is an accident, I did this build right after doing my Staff build, and since some of the gear was the same and the traits I forgot to change that
The build is going to be mainly for WvW
Well I would like too see any other variant to this build if you guys can help, I would like to keep, the ascended Knight since they are the only Ascended gear I have in the character. I will have more since Knight don’t go all that well with Ele but not until I have a proper build, either for D/D or Staff (problably Staff since Is my favourite Weapon)
Just one rule, don’t get rid of the Kinght gear in your suggestions. The build I did in some months ago was viable with them but now it is not, and I don’t want to have Ascended gear just to sit in my inventory. The build would be mainly for WvW
Yeah I will problably make a Sylvari, I like the cultural armor more in them then in norn (my favourite for ranger is T1 and it’s the cheapest, norn I only like t3 and it would take me forever to farm for that), beside I don’t like big characters
I guess I will never know about norn personal story
Hey guys
I will make my Ranger now and I don’t know if I should go witha Norn or a Sylvari
Lore wise wich do you think fit the class the most?
I don’t like much the Norn because they are too big, but I never have done one in this game
Sylvari I already have one and I will try to make this one (if I make it Sylvari) with completly different options. I also had much fun with the story with my first Sylvari.
But I want to know is about lore, since Sylvari in my opinion can be anything, since they come from the Dream the class they are is the one that they see in their dream (this is what I think kinda happens), but I think Ranger fits better because is the class most related to nature.
Norn it says that they are great hunters that came from north, so Hunter = Ranger no?
In this game there is 3 types of roles, Damage, Support or Defence, are you telling me Warrior is only viable with Damage? I mean there is class better in Support than Damage (Guardian) and Warrior can be best with Damage, but they must have some build more Defencive or more Supportive
So every silngle Warrior for every single action is full berserker is that what you meant?
So if I want to do a Warrior full Berserker full Offencive trait lines and bam there is a build?
Well then this class is kinda stupid, if it only works this way
Hey guys
I did not see in the description that is only for a limited time so, is the Bone Pick here to stay? Like forever? Because right now I don’t have gems but I need to buy that for other characters beside my Thief (I have the molten in him) and I really wanted to have in other characters also since I will make new ones and I still don’t know which to main.
Since I bought the Molten Alliance one I basicly only play Thief, even when I don’t fell like it, is just to good and I love it
Hey guys
Is there any sPvP build that focus on stealth with the Thief? Or build like this don’t work since we can’t get as much crit damage as in WvW or PvE
Which sPvP build do you recomend for a starter Thief in sPvP? (Although I have done some sPvP before with other classes)
Hum .. Looks like I have to get a P/V/T set no matter what. I don’t want to farm AC and HotW people only do 1 path
You dont have to if you world verses world. You’ll have enough badges in very little time to get a full set of soldiers armor
I’ve spent most of my badges to Soldier set for my other 2 characters. This is why I need a main character otherwise I will spend like crazy for every single character I have
Well farm AC might be not that bad, plus I will get 2.5 gold everyday if I do the dgn every day. Beside I also need it for Fractals eventually
I’ll start the farm today
