Don’t make the same mistake

Greed happened.

Or maybe the want to actually survive happened?
It is extremely unlikely that the game (and therefore also the company) would survive more than a year if they only ever did exactly as people interpreted the Manifesto.

It’s a bit more complicated than that. I doubt that the leadership was so naive.
IMO they knew what will come and they lied to get fatter.

I was usin 2x giver pistols long ago when I was thinking condi works in WvW. As I now play in T1, that is no longer the case. Good players have cleanses and reduce duration.

Oh and zergz have many of them “guardians”… so gl with that

as an update:
@spoj, I do have a thief, warr, ranger and engineer lv80 and I have done dungeons / WvW / PvP/ open world pve with each. I chose to stick to necro some time ago… the reasons for that are getting more fuzzy each day

I went zerk gear. Axe + focus / dagger + wh. So far, for dungeons it’s decent (Mediocre when compared to other prof dmg output) but it feels Much Much better than my prev condition setup.
In open pve it’s…. Ok…

I did some testing regarding my setup and different sword ranger setups and IMO the dps of the ranger is above the necro.

For now I will stick to necro because of the “rarity?” of it, and because the build feels fresh… but I guess sooner or later I will be sick of being the bottom feeder of the party.
We’ll see.

Acerola.6407:

I already fear his tank build; the amount of people we have to kick out of our PUGs after he releases his tank are going to be outrageous.

I was with a guardian in TA yesterday that made a point of not using a staff because it’s a bad and useless wep.
There are plenty of different people out there…

mesme.5028:

What happened to the manifesto?

Greed happened.

Hickeroar.9734:

On my glass mesmer I have time to aim and blink away every time before they get their backstab off.

Yes and once the thief fails his BS, we all know that he’s dead, right?

Portal Master.9146:

Let’s face it – playing anything other than a zerker warrior in a dungeon is a bad idea.

You work for AN, right?…

does anyone even use the great Dhuumfire any more ?

Warr or Guard, as it has always been the case.

Orr is not empty, there are plenty of bots farming.

“we just don’t want players to grind any more”

If one runs a dungeon, same path 2 times, will he receive the gold reward the second time?

Hello, a bit off-topic, a question from my part:
– I play a power necro. I plan to have ~3 knights pieces on my armor for a bit more suravility, the rest being zerk. Why do you guys say that more toughness is not worth it?
Thx.

Most of the fights where you might actually want the extra toughness do so much damage that 3 pieces of knights aren’t really going to do enough to save you (also known as have a dodge or blind prepared). And honestly necros have a deep enough health pool that the attacks that might down a unprepared guardian/thief/ele only take like 2/3 of the necro’s health. You need to go all in to really be able to facetank 1-2 hits in this game, which makes your character hit really weakly. So its much better to go all in on damage and not let the bosses get enough time to swing more than a couple of times so you don’t run out of dodges/blindes/ect.

thx for the explanation.

If I guest, can I enter WvW ?…
And since I’m on EU group I cannot host on an US server heh

I hesitate to jump to an US server because of the time zones discrepancy:
– I am on GMT +2
– I will most likely not be able to join the guild’s missions / events / daily chat

Hello!
I am a returning player after 6 months of break, currently on an EU (GMT time zone) and I am unhappy with my server’s commanders / actions in WvW.

I am mainly a PvE player, but some time I would like to join in the WvW. I have been, in the past on US servers and the commanders there were much more… innovative / alive / smart (?).

I am looking for a new server and a new guild. What is the meaning of this
https://leaderboards.guildwars2.com/en/eu/wvw
How should I interpret it?
Thx.

Zacchary.6183:

You should roll a warrior or guardian.

what he said.

99% of the movies that you will see will contain the line “focus the necro first”.

Dalanor.5387:

1. If you are not a min/max type of guy, take necro.
2. Zerker all the way, but with ascended armor its better to swap to assasins with the above mentioned pieces.
3. Everything is fine or better in melee, except engi (granades are … weird) and ranger (sword auto is weirdestest).

1. I am not an elitist, but I want to feel good: I want be useful – so decent dmg, and I want to be able to survive decently – some defensive skills / evades / etc
2. recently back to gw2 after 6 months, not sure yet what ascended “armors” are will check
3. sounds good

thx for your reply

Maizael.3075:

The first online game I ever played, Ultima Online, was able to save names of stabled pets…

That was probably 13 years ago.

good one.

spoj.9672:

Basically taking assassins helm, chest and legs is slightly better in organised groups. For everything else or if you dont care too much you may aswell just stick to full berserker.

If one is not a very skilled player, and he will only be doing dungeons / world pve, would you:
– reccomend the power necro for him ?
– if yes, what type or armors should he use? the described ones?
– of no, what class except warr would you say come close to this build’s play style?

looks good, grats

please don’t show videos in which you fight bad (BAD) players.

MyCondolences.8172:

their original philosophy was the exact opposite.

yes.

terrible idea by AN.

an official answer would be good

good thread thank you

We knew it was lacking 1 year ago.
They knew it was lacking 1 year ago.

same shait 1 year later.

but then she

Jazerix.7842:

I hope A.Net will open up their eyes some day, and realize the demand.

It may already be too late for that
IMO.

dailies = bullcrap.

what server is that?

Marzipan.9718:

what happened to that promising group finder?

Adding more skins > LFG tool.
IMO.

Justin.5231:

just don’t see any real point to keep grinding it.

Just another time sink IMO.

Glovebox.5724:

The so called ‘Holy Trinity’. Making combat dull.

I disagree.

Hopeseeker.2956:

it’s been a while.
Any steps forward to having a real LFG tool implemented into the game?

Nothing palpable.

LilMcGinley.3890:

ANet said they were “working on ways” to make smaller groups more effective and I really hope it’s something good.

Wow are they implementing the trinity!? Good News Everyone!

Crayonmuffin.1473:

I used to play MMO games all the time. WoW, Allods, RoM, Tera even. GW2 looked to be actually unique

Only at first.

Fortus.6175:

Simple question really, do seeing a person with a legendary make you go like; “Ohhh!”, are you indifferent, or another reaction?

Is there any reputation on getting one?

Would you go for it for the reputation or for the looks?

If it became harder/easier would you appreciate it more/less?

If you do appreciate something from legendaries or its users, what is it?

When I`m roaming in WvW legendary “users” = free kills (more often than not).

Cactus.2710:

I’ve ever seen a game with such a large gap between potential and execution.

Star Wars: The Old Republic comes to mind. Or was it management in their case?

style.6173:

Wrecking WvW is the only way they can actually get people to play s/tPvP

Or it can get people to quit

Sad to see this kind of threads popping up every now and then, when a player realizes the silver lining on the game.
+1 for OP, and I move on.

Thank you for the lesson in WvW. While I do know how a good guild should play, and I also heard about this thing called “focused targeting” about 10 years ago when I was doing mass pvp in a game called L2, I shall not watch your movie.

People like the OP (Swagger) are not members of a highly organized WvW guild. At least that`s what I understand from reading his post. My comment about guardians “using” staff #1 is not directed at the guardian minority who may play like you do (Viking Jorun).

Oh my, give farmers more wood for the fire, maybe it will keep the game alive.

In GW2 ?
Never felt this.

Galtrix.7369:

For example, my opinion is that Guild Wars 2 only reached xxx copies because of the hype the game received from people. It looked like a fantastic game at first, but as people started playing, they realized it wasn’t as good as they’d hoped.
For WoW, it was the opposite.

I agree, unfortunately.

Viking Jorun.5413:

On my guardian I never find myself spamming 1 in ZvZ fights.
Anyone who thinks they can spam 1 and win against a coordinated group is a fool.

I call Bullshait.
