Guild Wars 2

never played vindictus, gotta take a look.

Best combat i’ve ever seem, if only an mmo could have that… >.>

and came into my mind, that GW2 could use Shakrams and Faeblades as new weapons!

People exaggerate a lot reading such ideas hahahahaa… but ZOSO and ORPHEAL show exactly what this could be… You guys working at Anet would bring very good things to the game!

Coxy.5269:

If you aren’t a fan of conditions, i’m not sure why you’re using the scepter and the torch, which are both condition weapons. This along with all the bleeds from sharper images, I’d call this a hybrid build rather than PU. If you do want to be power PU i’d go with a berserker amulet (Theres a lot of threads explaining why celestial is bad for mesmers). Then two energy sigils, one doom and one air, and runes of the pack/hoelbrak. Maybe try out GS/Sw+torch?

P.S traveler runes are pretty bad aside from the speed boost

P.P.S Maybe something like this? http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fhAQNAR8flknpRtlpxINcrNiqxY6aSpFSGwClMjtB-TZBFwAJOIALeCAt2foaZAAXAAA

Scepter and Torch are both condition weapons, but they offer a tactic move that i can’t accomplish with the GS, who offers me just “one” defense, the Illusionary Wave, this PU build, is more like a “win by making your enemy tired”… so, the scepter offers a block (while damaging/forcing your enemy to cleanse it), and Torch offers you an Escape(heal/cleanse/re-positioning for attack).

Even for a Power-Based Build, this weapon combination has shown to me a more successful gamestyle for my taste, tho, i gotta see with the changes in the next update
comming in some hours.

Hummm Calliope, im not really fan of condis, thats because i run Power Pu… i was thinking about Traveler Runes… do you think they worth it?

Hello Fellow illusionists, im running this PowerPU Build, using the combination of Scepter/Pistol , Sw/Torch, and just love it, it fits myplaystye perfectly (pvp wise)

But im in doubt about the Runes/Sigil i should use, also, i dont know if i go zerker or celestial, would any of you veterans lend me a help?

No, no no.

That would just mean that you’d end up with stupid stuff like LFGs with “need title X”. Not to mention that there’s tons of titles that you cannot get anymore, such as a few relating to LS (Queen’s Jubilee, Halloween, Wintersday, Tequatl) or WvW.

It wouldn’t end up that way if the effects were minor, adding little difference comparing to traits, such as racials. But I understand your denial, you want less diversity in the game, being the simplest possible, thats acceptable.

Now, about the restrict ones, think about the ones “you got”, and not thinking the ones you can’t get anymore because time can’t go back, “You”, earn that title, in that event, with hours of play, explain to me, why shouldnt you use it since you worked hard to get it? Does that have any difference from the things you already got from playing GW1 ?

Just a thought

Ok, to give Titles more like a meaning instead of just words above ppl’s heads, they should activate “effects” on the hero using it.

Exemple:

Combat Healer: Using this title make you rezz fallen heroes for (x)% additional speed.

Veteran of the Mists: +(x) dmg to lords and guards.

and so on…

PvP Titles should get an exclusive finishing stomp, or exemple:

Ravager: “Using this title gives you a chance (very little) when hit, to strike Fear to your enemy”

tho, this could be considered op, but i think titles would be fore fun, and adding more feature to the game.

You guys think that Arcing Slice -50hp will hit like Final Thrust or Evisc?

i see, thanks Zackie

Just curious…

I tried to Guesting too, still trapped.

ISP: Cable
Region: Brazil
Server: Tarnished Coast

Hummm, I thought this issue was happening only to me, it seems its indeed some problem in Anet servers, got my main character stucked in LA, can’t load the map, one alt was in Divinity’s Reach, log in normally, tried to go to LA to see if worked for him, got trapped aswell.

GW2 should use PvP Servers, forcing PvP Crowd to go WvW and Spvp is really unfair, if you take a look in Tyria, and compare with the Mists, the PvP Player have 20%, while the Pve Player have the advantage of 80% of the game.

Cleansing Ire has nothing to do with Adrenal Generation, you’re asking the nerf in the wrong place.

topgamer.3804:

Why does everyone hate on mounts.
1. There freaking awesome
2. It would implement features for riding them like different Swing styles/moves
3. They could make the game more fun haveing to actually spend the time riding around the world more to find stuff not just way point there after you’ve only been there once

I agree, riding is far more immersive than clicking and porting, i would say, Major Cities should have waypoints, and 1 for each map, central.

And the mounts shouldnt be that fancy, only horses and “realistic” other ones, like, Dolyak i.e.

I support this, I hope for a revamp for the Mists, especially WvW, would be cool to see the maps unified so we once for all have a decent pvp scenario in this game.

I would like to see this too.

Zantmar.5406:

leg specialist
a near fail safe eviscerate where:
u can immobilize Ur foe with throw axe> eviscerate
or
your can shield bash > eviscerate
or
u can first immobilize > shield bash(by this time enemy would have ran out of dodge) >eviscerate

have fun and enjoy

Endure Pain, Whirlwind, Rush, have fun chasing moar! :P

I think, that Anet could make the entire Mists World map connected, like Tyria, so that way, pvp players have an immersive “pvp mode” that you could transit among the spvp maps, borders and eotm ( and whatever will come in future).

Having events, pvp events on them.

Think about that, we have Tyria, why not make the Mists equal in Size?

Also, we need City Maps on pvp.

:D

Caithe is fine, she was just confused about “her love” in the Nightmare Court, but she offers no harm to nobody but herself, you gotta worry with Zojja, she’s the unstable mind here.

I see, thank you Assassin X, i have tested Celestial in Spvp, gonna craft it to test on wvw.

I’d say the frequent condition application is a form of control. The constant bleeds, cripples and immobilizes will pressure most non-warriors to cleanse sooner rather than later. I’d also say any sort of CC weapon in WvW isn’t as useful outside a zerg, since everybody (who can manage) is packing stunbreakers, blocks or stability. Also, hammer and mace are slower than molasses rolling uphill.

conditions are more of constant pressure rather than control

Interesting, Celestial on everything, is it really better than Zerker/Knight or Soldier for Power Build?

Also, you sure that build is updated? in the video your bow hits Sigil of Fire, and in the link build its showing Accuracy and Perception.

the build is up to date, i switched my bow over recently to sigil of blood, but it did have fire sigil on it during those videos. but gs and sword have sigils of blood.

the sigils are negligent, you can use whatever you like the best. Life stealing only triggers IF you have less than 100% hp. if you crit with life stealing at 100% hp it does nothing.

I see, and about the Celestial in gear? you think its better than Zerk, Soldier and Knight ?

Magnito.6187:

It made me wondering what build you are running with Pupi, could you post it down?

Of course Magnito, here it is:

Very good points here… Thanks ppl

Carpboy.7145:

Why not use both?

I Can’t drop LB for another option, i feel like “naked” … :/ thats why i dont use both, so im deciding if is Dual Swords or GS.

Yeah Highchu, i’ve been trying, in spvp works on some situations, (talking about duel) where you can land Final Thrust and decide a fight with ease, although, to accomplish that is a very harder task then landing immo and make the enemy eat the 100b.

The strenghs in these weapons in my playstyle is making my doubt at the choice, they are:

GS: Mobility, Evade and Hit with Whirlwind (i use this a LOT stragegically) and 100b. (Works against the majority classes).

Sword: Leap, Decent dmg with AA, and an “Execute” when enemy is below 50-25% hp.
(Works really well against Thieves, who annoys me to death (literally) ).

Great hints Elegie, very helpful, tyvm sir!

For a power build, you guys think Dual Sword can be more effective because of Final Thurst?

Whats are your thoughts?

i see, you think to counter them should be ezly with hammer?

Eviscerate is… ridiculous overpowered, i know the dmg should be strong as an axe should be, but a dmg pike like that in a 8sec cd is very, very hard to dodge everytime.

I being a power dual sword warrior (sometimes gs), what tips you guys would tell me to deal with axe warriors?? is there a chance against skilled ones being dual sword?

Alrite, anything else??? Maybe some Popcorn ? :P

If Anet add monk to gw2, will them be the type of class who fights with their hands? i mean, it would be awesome to see a monk fighing in… uhhh “monk style”… and with weapons, staves and fist weapons…

I wonder the things were said in chat there so you had to covered it :P

just regular map chat stuff :P

hahahahaahaha uhu! :P

It would make the game more friendly to roamers, scouts and lonely players that usually enters wvw to hunt some 1v1’s.

Im not saying to remove completely the nameplates, only to make it less visible from distance, or even a simbol representing the server to replace the red “Berserker Super Ultra Pwner of Northern Shiverpeaks” that everyone can see from miles calling “hey im here, come kill me”.

I think this would benefit everyone.

What are your thoughts guys?

In my opinion, hammer is still superior to all weapons in terms of dmg, because it stills have good dmg, and controll at the same time.

Axe and Sword have good bursts, GS with its 100kblades and movement, but in a duel, two warriors, if one uses the weapons above, agsint a Hambow, its likely gonna loose, both skilled.

Whats your thoughts ppl ?

ReSpect.7125:

Yes, yes and yes. This would be awesome. I would like the complete map a city. Where you can go inside at least some of the houses. NPC that lives in the city that you can interact with.
Kinda like EB without SM.
I have a map taking form, can post it tomorrow if you want?

Sure ReSpect, show us your map

KenSniper.8690:

this is actually pretty nice, it would make the place seem a bit more lively, rather than an oddly placed castles in the middle of nowhere, the closest town you have is a couple of angry villagers on north camp, imagine the battles taking place in small streets!

Thats what im talking about, it would make small groups fights more often than zerg all the time, the army divided into different zones in a City to controll its areas, like Blacksmithing, Barracks, Bank, Nursery, etc.

WvW could really use some City Maps, you know, battles taking place on cities like the Ebonheart one, 3 big cities for each realm, could be really fun.

FLagging for PvP in Tyria would certainly bring a lot of fun to the game, for the ppl who just dont want to, stay unflagged, simple.

Unfortunately, this won’t happen, we will have to wait for EQN for true world pvp.

Hello Rangers, im comming here as a Veteran Warrior, and i must say i had an encounter with a really skilled Ranger last match, usually i find Rangers no difficult at all to beat, but this one was a challenge, he make me look like a fool trying to hit him haha.

Im a power dual sword/lb, he was a ShortBow/Sw,D using Lynx as a pet (saw no pet swap), lots of regen, decent burst and cond at the same time, really fast moves, i thought he was even using hacks hehe, but the strangest thing was that he could bunk a lot of dmg aswell.

I got a dust alt Ranger, would like to know what build could be that one? Its a playstyle i like, but never had “sucess” playing it.

Regards.

Elegie.3620:

Hi,

I think you should ask in the ranger forum, specifying the pet he used and his weapon set – you’d probably get more expert advice there.

Incidentally, I was dominated a few times yesterday by a ranger similar to the one you describe! He was tanky, mobile, did decent condition damage, and used no bow at all. Given that I was using a rifle, for both damage and knock-back, it felt like I was the ranger and he was the warrior

I checked Retrolove’s ranger builds afterwards (he’s a French PvP player, familiar with all classes, and regularly publishing great videos about build experiments) , and I think I found something close to what he was playing (an off tank condition build, from one year ago).

Hi Elegie, he used a short bow i think, because of the conds, and i only saw a Lynx as a pet, saw no pet swap… he was really fast…. His name is Pvpmaster “something”, dont remember, strange name….

So i fought this Ranger at Spvp, pretty challenging one, it bunker a lot of dmg, regen a lot, was really fast, decent burst and condition at the same time, just couldnt beat him because its conds ate me… and he was not a spirit one…

You guys had hard time with that kind too? What type of build he was???

Its rare to find rangers like that.

I just tested it, and i love it, hitting really fast with sword swings…

LumAnth.5124:

I like then new songs Anet is coming up with (Battle at the Breach Maker especially, along with Origins of Madness)

I’m sick of “terror music”

Want “terror music?” the play Silent Hill Homecoming, (coincidentally called) the Scarlet Doll boss. At night. Oh I and I was also alone by myself too when I fought her.

So you like your game being “fluffy” at all time? If you dont want terror music in themed scenarios turn off your sound options, I, do love GW2, i wanna only to seek improvements to the game, and specifc music fitting its scenarios its a must for game immersion.

This would only make the game better, stop with the denial for such details and suggest something instead of being a jerk.

Exactly, the problem with customizing soundtrack, is that the game doesnt have a “area” start and end location on that specifc soundtrack, i already tried to do, its impossible to do it on GW2 because devs only made this happen on intense Battles.

Anet already hired a very famous and talented musician and his orquestra to work on GW2, i understand that this is expensive, but to include this feature would be no hard work at all.

You know, that are some scary places in the game, like that manor in a haunted woods in Iron Marches, or Orr itself… but there is no actually “scary” music…

I know Devs must focus on “important” things, but music is a factor that impact the scenario, i dont wanna bring here the name of another MMO out there, that even on cartoonish graphics, had very good terror music in Undead scenarios.

It would be cool to see… uhh, hear this in GW2 too.

Just a thought.
