Guild Wars 2

I have a question if anyone can answer. Is the new skinns only 9btainable by crafting? Im a wvw and pvp player at most. If not able t9 get it by any of these game modes rewards might aswell not read patch notes when they come out.

Actually about GS right the only change i want is soul eater healling for each hit reduce cd on gs abilities and increase in LF generation for each ability aswell. Nothing else needed

Hmm another rune to think about thanks. Ill have a list of ones i ll try with my build. Right now im recording with pack runes

The more i think about this the more i think it would be for the best in wvw would be so nice get a DEV TAG saying they would consider some options like this.

If they make it projectile becomes useless for another diferent reason

Well, that’s pretty much the trade-off anet want for ranged attacks: that they can be reflected and blocked, in ways that being up close and personal can’t. The idea being that you have to make a smart choice about which of the things you want to give up on in return for the advantages of your weapon.

It’s … definitely a consistent development strategy, and I can see why they would regret the exceptions to it.

If turned into projectile make it 1500 with trait lime ranger lb. Also druid pewpew staff constant hits tracking target say hello

Smash mace to ground as a necro to make enemys flee in fear with torment aswell

“Power doesn’t need more buffs; "

I can’t take anyone who says that seriously.

Then don’t; I don’t need to explain my case to people with no comprehension of the bigger picture.

Dude ive watched ur vid many times and i enjoyed it and found it very entertaining

That being said if u go up against a heavvy cc class, mobility, condi, evades ,blocks and so on ALONE a power reaper is dead. Take good warriors teefs druids revs mesmers eles Dh (with bow to kite easy) for ex. I just said power necro agaist any other class almost looses with players of same skill level. If you play in a group like you its “easy” to go wild and dps at will without needing to much stability ans stun break.

ImO power reapers need more LF generation to stay inside shroud if they want too and to get inside it again.

Tbh i think they should maybe give a regen on master trait 3 that has inscrease in ferocity with a added % on each atack to remain in shroud for longer periods

Or how about we dont remove everything that makes GW2 just GW2 and instead actually focus on fixing major balance issues like condition output of certain builds, healing output of certain builds, stealth stacking and possibly even scoring issues if we are feeling ambitious?

I agree with major balances in builds classes most used in wvw but still feels less rewarding specially in outnumbered fights that we down someone and they r insta brought back because of numbers ONLY. but i can take babysteps. Remove downsstate while outnumbered buff is on then.

That last idea seems appealing. When a server is outnumbered, there’s no downstate for other servers. Insta kill, and no revive. My sadistic side also thinks of a “time out” of killed players from non-outnumbered players.

So you would be totally ok with fighting say 2v5 and you dont have downstate but the 5 do?

Because that’s still what will happen when those 5 are outmanned on the border because your side got 30 people AFK queueing EB in spawn.

He said other servers, not the one that has the outnumbered.
I can get behind that idea.

Yeah thiswould be so cool. Actually roaming or smallscale would improve so much.

Please increase the range to 1200. Its our only decent power ranged weapon thats far from op and but still makes it so easy for us to be kited or unable to persue/finish a class that easily outruns necro reapers ( prety much every other class)

If any one cares ofc.

Only for the Auto Attack or it become too OP

Yes auto only. And axe 3 could be unblocable

If they make it projectile becomes useless for another diferent reason

Remove downstate for a certain period of time then hold a poll to ask the community wether or not we want it to remain. Or Just do it in desert border or eotm for testing.
Alternatly make it so rezes can be made while in combat also for testing.
I ve seen more and more people asking for it.

foste.3098:

On the build page you linked there are armor pieces missing so what is the complete build? Also this is a tanky set up but you seam to have low toughness (or perhaps not idk since there are 5 gear slots left empty)

Hey tbey rest of the gear is zerker full zerker except for one trinket that has knignts stats. Full zerk armour. Tankyness comes more from the death magic trait line. So i can keep some sort of decent power damage but soak damage better inside shroud. Also poping in and out of shroud plus minor ttaits get me almost constant protection

Justine.6351:

While scrapper runes would be great, you are losing damage on a build running 2 bunker lines right?

Yeah might drag 1vs1 too much but 1vs xplus might be ok with some twerks in sigils and removing knights trinket for zerker one. I noticed that against some bad players with str runes i still died more despite more dps because of condis amd cc. Might not look like it but 1/2s of resistance can deny one big tick of condi damage :/ also boon duration and extra tough vital helped in that area.

Lorus.4218:

Good video but yeah, you would have trouble making it on NA. You’d get swarmed down by 5+ condi scrubs instead of finding 1v2s.

ohh how i know that. i tried using power reaper in NA, cant be done. the mentality of players is much diferent.

Helly.2597:

miguelsil.6324:

Just noticed the build was showing valk weapons but i have in fact zerker ones. Fixed that. But i might try that scrapper runes after my next vid. Will make one with packs runes before scrapper s r the ones with damage reduced right?

Yeah they are the power/toughness and -7% dmg when in a range threshold.

yeah might givem a go soon

Helly.2597:

Nah he’s making a comment that roamers/wvwers on NA use conditions builds more than roamers on EU in general. Not just your own gameplay.

I guess thats true. I rarely if ever seen a power reaper in my BG account. And cant use it aswell simce NA servers actually fabor condis overall unfortunatly :/

If it gave evade while casting would be very nice. The long cast when fighting and pressured kills you so might aswell not use it.

Rambitshouse.8712:

Really nice vid as a necro fan.

My only question is, how come the roamers in EU don’t put 50000 conditions on you like the roamers in NA? lol

Good job

Thanks m8. Well main reason is i despise condis lol after 1hour or less of condi play i get bored and switch back. I think condis should a suport damage never to be used as main but thats just me ofc

Hey guys new wvw roamin vid hope u like it

https://youtu.be/fEQekbVU2u4

Hey guys new vid with same build but using more ofensive runes. hope you like it

https://youtu.be/fEQekbVU2u4

Hammer is one if not my fav weapon. But i kinda wanted gs for more mobility with the gear i was using

Lol well against good thiefs ita hard as core guard. But if u time well ur judge intervention with gs5 for the insta pull or with gs2 for some sine burst damage followed by weapon swap and sw2 and maybe shield bash it will hurt most and make them retreat a bit. Also shield 5 for their pew pew pistols and regain sw3 and sw2 for ofensive again.

Thanks with sword and GS u feel less slow targeting npcs and gs3 on 9s cd so even tho it feels slower that spam of gs3 and sw2 makes u just as fast as someone with traveleres. Or just use travelers and some valikrie acessorys with the rest being zerker gear weapons and trinkets.

This is the kind of thread that should get an answer from a dev saying" you guys are right we are working on better comunication and will participate more on forums regarding concerns for the sake of the game" BUT… never will they admit anything they did wrong much like politicians.

I would like to see those changes. But at most i think only the self removal would be aplied, anet wont make guardians a corrupt class. If they were i would def play with torch

It can be fun but will get frustrating sometimes with so much diference from hot elites :/

Just notoces theres a “enter text” here in the scrapper fight that means my editing skills sux

Hey made a new vid with core guard non hot everything hope u guys like it
https://youtu.be/N-wxjJz1Vwo

Hey guys got inspired to make a core roaming video, had a lot of fun using core again

https://youtu.be/N-wxjJz1Vwo

I read the op opening but didnt see any infravyions. It was just funny and right on… maybe thats not allowed aswell?

There was a post made today regarding the forun etiquete thread made by devs that i wanted to see mpre in dept but i cant find it no more, was it moved elsewhere?

Dadnir.5038:

What would be the use of relentless pursuit if we got a skill on 6 second CD to do the same job? It would be redundant.

Not the same job. One of the other efects. The one that is actually needed for that ability. Instead of imobilize make it work for SLOW.

It should remove imobilize imo as necro is the easiest class to kite root and cc. And like someone above said our most common (only usefull imo) mobility/escape/persue abilitie should remobe imobilize to at least give necros a better chance of escaping a pintch instead of crying out loud help to the rest of the party that has the means to run away much better. Dont think just removing imob or adding evade for that efect would make a big diference in zergs but would do wonders in smallscale.

My mouse has like 3 extra keys. I use one for heal and even a easy comb of keys like Alt+mouse 5

Not too bad. Just think u need more practice and maybe use less mouse to click

Always cool to watch ur vids m8. I like this variation only wish healling signet would work inaide shroud and better because right now its meh.

4 years to get a really “cool” drop? My standarts are a bit b8gger than that. That ampount of time spent shpuld be better rewarded imo.

Man, you need a spell checker in the worst way! Gud Lawd! Hahahaha! Just kidding!

I like all of the youthful ways to spell things now-a-days! My favorite is “Git Gud!” I really must get a T-shirt made with this on it!

OP, CONGRATS, MAN!!!

This is what i get for typing on my cell during workhours :p

Oslaf Beinir.5842:

I imagine it might help to run trooper runes if you dont run shrouded removal and also with full shouts bar

Trooper reaper and strenght runes are all viable options, depends on what you are more confortable lacking in trooper for ex makes condis a much lesser issue without touching the build at all

Helly.2597:

Good video man. I think the only clip that wasn’t up to the quality of the other clips was the condi mes solo at the sentry.

Good gameplay with the combos. A small change would be to stow weapon right after you cast GS5, since the skill actually does its full effect without the cast time. That allows for either a gravedigger or a chilled to the bone to hit perfectly without any time to really react (unless they have a stunbreak of course).

Hadnt tried the stow weapon on gs5 yet. Migjt practice thanks for the info yeah that mesmer was a bit novice but i put it there since it shows off a bit of gameplay using my build.

EremiteAngel.9765:

You have very good skill rotation and combinations.
Unfortunately most of your opponents aren’t anywhere near your level.
Only the mesmer who dueled you was at least average and knew to a decent extent what he was doing.
Was it only a one-time duel though?

Not saying you are bad, in fact I found your rotations and combos very well executed. I would like to see your fights against decent players using the below classes/builds though:

Condi:

• D/D lotus Thief
• Sword/shield + X Phantasm Mesmer (bonus difficulty if using Moa)
• Reaper

Power:

• Longbow + Staff Druid
• Staff or Hammer + X Revenant
• Berserker (the berserkers in your video were not very good)
• Dragonhunter
• X + Pistol Interrupt + Blind Thief
• Staff + vault Thief

If you meet any of the above classes/builds with a similar build in your video, I would think that you will struggle against the condi builds. As for the power section, I would think that a decent druid/berserker will give you a good close fight too.

i dueled that mesmer like 10 times and i think most he got was a down at same time as i.

about those classes and build u said you would like to see me face it all depends on the player behind them. them condis teefs from the same lvl of skill i have will be enough to kill me with just kitting around(easy build) that condi mesmer and reaper builds with bleeds etc u talked about i would need to switch heallinbg to cleanse condis and use signet to stand a chance, my build only takes me so far.

as for power, if i take the momentum and enter shroud before getting cced to pop stability at right time and corrutpt etc i take advantage to control the fights against these classes u stated: druids, dh, revenant(not so easy coz revs have such small cds and rotate between so many defensive and evasive utilities)

as for power warrior that use 100% uptime stability etc cant be done, i might try to spec for this and use diferent weaponsetup and utilitys for more corrupt but warriors when they r good its not beatable.

and for those thiefs builds u asked, its the same, if they r below my level they die, if they are on equal level they win, class mechanichs wins.

i will try to get some of these in the next video

Hey guys made a tanky version of power reaper hope u enjoy

https://youtu.be/2mj20SB3p7U

I would be happy if healling well stability well and well of darkness were instant cast and droped on necros with no land target. really really happy with that change to wells.

Yes please. If anything Just give remove imobilize or evade while doing with without touching cd. Necros have it worst right now and the remove imobilize would help escaping (wich they suck at) and evade would help the lack of utilities inside shroud.

Swagger.1459:

Drarnor Kunoram.5180:

Given it’s on a 6 second cooldown, it’s easy to argue that it’s overloaded already. 600 range dash, AoE Blind, decent damage, and projectile blocking.

At most, all I would change is that you don’t stop moving on the very first hit on your target, instead continuing to move if they are no longer getting hit.

Meanwhile in wvw… there are a crap ton of incredible skills being spammed and players are bouncing all over… and this skill gets crapped on by enemies moving, pathing issues, and is completely shut down by 1 (of the thousand incoming) immob… All of this wonderfulness on the least mobile profession in-game that has 1 offensive mobile skill gated behind shroud.

This …

I think he means agility. The one i use al9ng side draining sigil;)
