Guild Wars 2

lol got a good chuckle out of that +1

p/p is always fun for me to use. not having ricochet is a huge nerf. cmon anet let us know the fate of this trait!

i like sharing my weapons…

i guess everyone spec into s/d and evade spam the kitten out of everyone

CnD dmg is reduced in wvw too? i hope they consider wvw as pvp.

Junkpile.7439:

Seriously go play condi class in wvw. You notice that condition dmg is totally useless and need some serious buff or aoe condi removal needs some serious nerf.

lel

they could’ve at least made a separate expansion pack with out the core game content and sold it cheaper for the veteran players…

so they couldn’t make the expansion $40 or added a character slot with the standard preorder option?

path 2 boss phase, won’t activate. npc is lead to the targeted area and event won’t activate.

ArchonWing.9480:

Oh they actually fixed the NPC part? Well, talk about band-aids.

nah they still can be killed

that would be nice for the people that have server pride and all, but… NO NICE THINGS FOR WVW’ERS

yay more nerfs

bruh, yall just gonna make it a more blobby tier when more transfers start rolling in

Zietlogik.6208:

If you are a roamer, SF is a decent place because ET/DR seem to have some horrible horrible roamers :P

But for coverage and zergs/blobs, our pop is super low.

ayy lmao

wvw is dying…so when is HoT released?

what the title says, my game crashes when i try to use one

Quinci.5968:

ChoChoBo.6503:

Spear of Justice’s tether is the same as Necromancer’s Deathshroud’s Tainted Shackles. You just need to move away to break it. No biggie.

The real issue will be how much ‘Revealed’ debuff they’re giving to all the professions to counter Thief’s stealth. Though I think they should of added more counter to stealth ages ago, so I’m rooting for it. The real question should be how thieves are going to counter all the added ‘revealed’ debuff.

My guess is by playing mostly acro instead of shadow.

gonna need better condi clear than

i just respond “lol”

increase the AA damage

Tabootrinket.2631:

Yup yup, and our new special mechanism is called “steal the ocean” transforming a 1200 range area around us into a moving underwater field.
Thus whenever someone crosses a thief he is forced to have an underwater fight.

I like this ! That’s a great idea OP

than more tears will pour because of new under water spec lol. I want to become aquaman

dane doesnt respawn guards and multiple towers spawn enemy guards lol

give us a mace so i can wield a mace/dagger and wonder how weird this set up is.

yeah, after downing this ele, he got the keep capture event and he got back from down state and knocked me down to take some serious fall damage…

sorry folks you’re all reported

:O

ehh maybe something better than that lol

Bluefox.9580:

Actually that’s not entirely the case any more, OP. Signet condi/hybrid ele is very powerful right now and in development. The upcoming changes will likely spur a new meta signet condi build. While damage chill would be interest and nice, I think ele is going to get buffs to condis in other ways.

inb4 signet runes

what if two guilds can’t even get into the same instances??????

i never rolled my necro for support, only pure damage

Only that power warrior outdamages power necro while still bringing teamsupport. The Necro GS would have to do INSANE damage to make it look viable to those dungeonfarmers. Courtesy of the designflaws in current PvE-content.

Then again, we know almost nothing for now. Let’s wait and see what tomo—-uhm, todays PoI brings.

oh, well i play mainly wvw and stuff like wells+DS +Lich form AA are devestating

higher tiers just means more ppl to fight. Now for the OP it also depends on the build. If condi roamers are beating you up, you’re just gonna have to load up on condi cleanses or just walk away from them cause well condi…

Mix in Spectral Grasp…

You mean Spectral Miss.

And no, most of what I saw in the trailer looked like it would really easy to dodge and avoid in general. Even more so than a Warriors GS, and Warrior GS is hilariously easy to avoid.

From my experience the skill doesn’t miss that much in sPvP skyhammer.
I think people are reading into it way too much. People read “slow attacks” and immediately think “omg…. easy to dodge”. Hammer warriors are a nice example of fairly slow attacks that can be deadly. Now picture being perma-chilled with a hammer warrior on top of you… easy to dodge? No.

Fears will chill your targets. If you’re close to someone and you fear them, they’ll be chilled and you’ll land free hits on them.
DS also had a stun, from what I saw —> more easy hits.
A pull (especially if the target is chilled) --> easy hits. You only have 2 dodges, not infinite dodges… so if a Reaper pulls you and chills you and you don’t have your dodges ready… gg.
We still didn’t see the other skills they have. If one of the shouts is a taunt… voila.

^ hes right, im excited for this.

it will be named dragonmancer

well, why can’t anet add more incentives for wvw other than tournaments?

Not all of us require incentives to play a game mode we enjoy…

that is true but i kinda want the days of wvw when they were fun, and when people would try new builds out. We might regain that when HoT releases

Profanity.6829:

Has anyone thought of a staff? Fighting style wise fighting with a staff could be simular to that of a spear / polearm… I would really be exited about that imo

http://tinyurl.com/odynog9
(Pls ignore how this ended :p)

Lorewise a staff fingthing light armored person is more a monk class, and that is quite a bit different than a thief, but still im hoping for it!

rangers are getting the staff weapon already…inb4 focus is our new offhand

well, why can’t anet add more incentives for wvw other than tournaments?

why do all the ppl who have no idea what they’re doing play ranger? is it because they can do high dps from a safe distance?

Sir Vincent III.1286:

There are many ideas for Last Refuge;

When your health reaches a certain threshold (25%)…

1. - … you gain regen (x sec) and all damage is reduced by 90% for y seconds.
2. - …you gain Swiftness and Resistance for x seconds.
3. - …you gain regen (x sec) and drop Caltrops.
4. - …you gain regen (x sec) and 75% to Evade attacks for y seconds.
5. - …you gain Shadow Form for x seconds. You cannot attack. All damage are negated.
6. - …etc.

No stealth, no bullkitten.

yes on shadow form and make it a 90 sec cd

i think i read something that all classes would be receiving group play stuff for the elite specializations.

Bensozia.8071:

Pretty Pixie.8603:

I… It appears a lot of PvE players choose the server for it’s ‘cool’ name, making recruiting of WvW guilds to the server a nigh on impossibility.

This exactly the reason the guild I was in went to DB. They had decided pre launch of gw2 to go to DB for the cool name. And yeah they are pve 99%

its a curse they will suffer forever

nerf: Hello Kitty Online
why: takes away all of the gw2 players

we need ghosts to pin point tactical nukes to eliminate the zerglings

for me EOTM is more fun

1 its smaller then WvW
2 its fast with a good comm running it
3 it looks better then WvW
4 knock players of the edge or fear them off
5 its just more fun ^^

yeah i guess since most of them are incompetent and and would rather jump off the cliff against my zerg build guard :/

this is what i mean by fun in EOTM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gn5fIbp67oI

or a good necro place him self under the bridge and fear them all :P
thats why i love EOTM its so much fun ^^

not really, eotm is a giant sky hammer map

900 well range, traps won’t do kitten. Even if they aren’t stealth they still can drop them and pulse immob. 4 power necros+1 venom share teef is powerful, afterall they are in the blackline meaning they’ll drop them after 1st contact.

As an aside, the original post here was to continue this discussion, not to share my own views.

Personal opinion:
Beginning to think a lot of posters in this thread don’t run with organised/semi-organised WvW groups: do people understand the amount of damage zerk necros put out + a melee/FP group hitting an immobilised target?
There’s not much “counter play” to been hit by that in under 2 seconds.

Group synergy is great and all but a, lets be honest here, stupidly simple to perform synergy such as venom&wells is totally broken in a risk-reward sense.

To each their own of course but I would urge people that don’t really understand the issue to spend some time in even a semi-organised environment (reset with teamspeak for example on your respective eb’s) and perhaps you might change your mind.

the simplest answer is don’t stand in their wells. Which is what you would normally do anyway. I do run with a guild as well as with pugs. Sometimes I’m on TS, sometimes I’m not.

Condi clear + dodge back(maybe twice) or a utility/weapon skill that moves you backwards(many classes have them).

Have I been caught in them and died due to it? Of course I have, but 90% of them time it’s because of one of these reasons:

a. Wasn’t paying attention since I’m also watching tv at the same time
b. Didn’t listen to commander and was nowhere near tag
c. Lag spike

Try to get your group to practice predicting enemy movements instead of just reacting to them. As an OCX player, I deal with bad lag all the time, our OCX commanders are the same. We quite often would pre-emptively move out of an area before the enemy even drops their bombs and venom wells.

kinda hard to avoid a stealth-ed necro that unleashes their wells

i played medi guard in pvp like a year ago, i start to play pvp again like a month ago and people say its brain dead -__-
