So you do play ele. Do you realise that you only heal by attuning to water(when traited), by dodge rolling(when traited) and by placing your small water field under your allies. your big waterfield doesnt heal, it applies regeneration. those are all very minor heals compared to a guardian who can heal a kitten ton by just standing somewhere(ofc only when traited).
the only real “heal” you can get with your ele is by placing your waterfields and execute some blast finisher in it. since you only have 2 of them (one with a long delay and the other with a fairly high cd) there are way better options to go for. especially if you consider that not the healingpower of the person who sets the water field is taken for calculation of the total healed hp, but the healingpower of the guy blasting your waterfield.
ofc you can still say high regeneration with high boonduration is a great heal, but since your boon sharing is capped at 5 ppl, its imho rather lackluster.
if you want to play support go guardian with hammer and staff and try a aura-share built or altruistic healing. switch to hammer when ever ppl need heal or you see a waterfield and blast it, else get your staff out and spam your 1 and 4 as much as you can. thats in my opinion the best support you can go for and still get way more loot bas and wxp then most other classes do.
Yes i play ele and i know well my class.
First of all, ele staff has 3 blast finishers + whirl finisher, so there are 4 healing finishers which gives +4k heaelings + regen each ( and regen is not a minor healing lol )
Second point, you need also earth to heal, ’couse 2 blasts are there + cc.
between attunement swap, dodges, geyser+blasts, healing rain + blasts, condition cleans, auto attack and ccs I can restore the HP of my Group many times in 1 minute, with can trips i can moove effectively inside a fight and heal ppl who get lost, healer is much more effective than you and many others think, the meta gaming is evolving, don’t lose the train
i wanted to say, playing full support without using autoattacks and class mechanics is total bs…you can support while doing dps. and there are NO healers in this game…..there is no trinity…you can go burst with guardian if you so desire and you can go full healing. still you can autoattack ppl while using your shouts and dodge rolls and what ever class mechanic u have.
Some times you have to chose between the loot and the defeat or the heals and the survival of your group, I often chose the second one.
Trust me, I use auto attacck on healer with staff ( very slow ), but when attuned to water/earth ( which is 80% of the fight ) I do very little dmg, in my experience you need to do at least 1k+ dmg to get a chance of reward, it’s not easy considering the fact that you need like 3 secs to do so ?
Sure you can get rewards, we are not saying that, all supporters get some loot, it’s the amount of it the problem, the system does not reward supportive role, and when you are builded up 80% support you are preatty scrued
And.. there are healers in this game, I’m one of them, we heal and cc very good, a zerg with 2/3 healers is way more effective than a zerg without healers.
I keep getting finished by stealthed thieves who can easely do this even in an allyed zerg seeing that I am an ranger and my only interrupt abbility needs a target.
say what you think about this and no l2p comments pls.
I’m sorry for all those kids who responded before.
I suggest you to try this :
1) Bring with you the Raven and the Wolf, both are very usefull against thiefs and stunlock warrios.
2) Use the Raven when fighting, with 30 in BM it has 5 secs blind every 14 1/2, very effective
3) When downed swich to Wolf, and press F2( Fear ! ) when the try to stomp you
, let him bite the thief for some seconds and then swich back to Raven for his blind, between you/raven/wolf you should buy yourself some precious seconds, the mach does not end when the ranger is downed, many time i killed ppl when i was down, most of them where thiefs/rangers .. they were to busy checking at my health bar that they forgot theyrs
3) Moas are also good, they heals you and dazes the stompers, some pets have very good stuffs, you just need to take some times and try them out.
4) Ranger underwater is quite OP, if you need to ecape i suggest you to run there, the downed state underwater can be almost immortal.
Are you serious ? grow up please.
Somethime you can’t chose the class you want, when you running with the guild is important to have 2/3 full supporter, a skilled supporter will get very less bags than your “not so helpfull” build
Next time pay attention to guardians/eles/necros, you will se that without them the zerg would just be dead 24/7, and yes it’s not easy to heal/buff the zerg, many people are just there to farm, running around like chikens, never stacking up with commander, ecc, they don’t know how to properly play.
What? guardians, nekros and ele are the best classes for tagging enemies?
guardian – staff
nekro – wells, death shroud, staff
ele – staff==>
nekros: aoe blind, aoe chill, aoe dps
guardians: aoe heal, retaliation spam
ele: aoe cc and aoe dpsand with all these skills you tag enemies….stop whining about how you cant get loot and wxp
And your point?
We all very well know that all classes can get loot! If Elementalists AoE Dps they can get loot, if Necro’s AoE Dps they can get loot, if Guardian DPS they can get loot. Basically if you Dps you can get loot. However, supporters don’t DPS as often as others do! They will start by supporting skills and then they care for the DPS! At this point half of the foes are already dead, so it’s logic they receive half of the loot as well…
It’s a known fact in every game that Support classes (in this cases roles), receive less DPS related benefits than others. Therefore your post is completely redundant.
He didn’t understood the topic, or he doesn’t know how the combat system works, don’t waste your time with him
Too many think there are only dps roles in this game lol, ppl are quite suprised of the amount of healings i give to them, its like : “oh i tought there were no healers in this game”.. quite amusing
The problem is not tagging 1 or 2 ppl, the problem is the number of loot and gold we get by supporting our team, the selfish play style is still the best option.
learn to do both, problem solved.
the only selfish playstyle is sticking to “i just want to play support! don’t force me to tag if i want loot”
Are you serious ? grow up please.

Howdy Sminkiottone,
Black Crescent[BC] is a PVX guild currently recruiting smaller guilds (and other active players) to join us for WVW. No hard-core rules or “play how we say” but better communication/teamwork.
Come join us on Northern Shiverpeaks! Our server does has a strong PVE community so you’ll be able to find plenty of people to join you as you complete events and explore the world when WvW gets boring or you want to check out new content.
Most Importantly though, we have a very competitive WvW population – but we need more!
Our guild is looking for more competitive, active guilds to join us in mumble and roam WvW.
Black Crescent [BC] is proud to boast that we are an original GW1 guild, small (only <50 members), we are fun and casual. We don’t require much (no silly guild dues, mandatory meetings, or play how we say rules!) – just that you are an active player and represent.
Some Small Requirements
- Voice Server BC runs a Mumble server and a working mic is required.
- Representing We understand many people have other guilds for storage etc. All we ask is that we are your primary guild and that you represent BC for the majority of your playtime.
We have our own website & mumble server for you to stop by and check us out. Feel free to fill out a very quick, easy >>recruitment app<< while you are there.
Let me know if you have any questions or would like more info.
Hope to see you around!
Thx for the offer, but I don’t know if your guild is the right place for me :
- My play time is from 18:00 to 23:00 GMT+1
- I prefer roaming and guild operations
- I only look for Spvp/WvW guilds, not intrested in any form of Pve
- I prefer no Pvers in the guild, a few are ok, but when most of people prefer the “Dragon” event it’s just not ok for me
Hello guys,
I’m looking for a group of people who like to roam togheter, do some guild operation and have fun while stomping some invaders !
-At the moment I’m on Pike Square but, always in the good mood for some free queue server
PGs:
- Ranger(main) multi purpose role
- Elementalist healer
- Necromancer jolly ( defence/conditioning)
I do use TS3/Vent/others.
Not very good at speaking english but I can understand without issues.
I consider my self a semi hardcore player, I alway want to improve my skill
Almost forgot… I cow-stomp !!
The real problem with stealth is the ability to reset fights at will, this is quite OP, not the stealth it self, it’s a broken mechanic that is going to be fixed, at least a bit of logic.
I really like the new update ( no talking about the OP buff ), but where can I see how much I’ve done to help my server ?
Will be cool if we had some sort of feedback from this new bloodlust content, like :
- Personal score, each stomps/bloodlust circle/sentrys/dollys/Towers/keeps gives personal points ( divided by the number of Participants in case of big objectives ), and if you get stomped you actually lose points ( between 1 and 3 if im right )
// Personal score should not be like wxp, it should tell how good you are and not how long you followed the blob or how many Aoe skills you equipe.
- Somenthing to show off, like new Stomps; New titles “Stomp dude”, new armor/weapons; ecc., somenthig that reward the personal skill this time, it should not be farmable by brainless zergs aka karma trains.
All above could also be applied to the guild.
And :
-Stomping should reward much more than simply kill the enemy, like double wxp ? 100% badge loot ?
What do you guyn think ?
It’s Always a good time to be a ranger
I’m a ranger fanboy I know..
pros :
- Every weapons is effective and has its use, hell even the battlefield is our weapon !
- It’s a balanced class.
- Lots of different play styles.
- Some times I feel like its a multi purpose class, I got bored to play necro because it was too static on his role, ranges has no particolar role.
Cons :
- Pet’s AI.
- Not the best class in zerg.
Why don’t you play with the engi ? don’t you like it ?
Greatings,
Can you please give us WvWrs more alternative to gain such equipements ?
Like :
- after rank 50 every one can choose a set of ascendedtrinkets each and every month or League.
- after rank 100 every one can choose a set of ascended weapons each and every month or League.
- after rank 200 every one can choose a set of ascended armor each and every month or League.
OR :
- Trade exotic + something ( not laurels pls )for ascendent.
- Every time I make 1000 points for my server I can get a ascended piece.
What is one of the most cool thing on gw2 ? the possibility to change the equipement for almost every play style or situation, in my opinion is one of the strongest pro right now, give variety and gives us players more ways to enjoy the game.
But with ascended equipements you force people to rely only on 1 particular build for pve/wvw/zerging/roaming/other activities/ecc.. Is this intended ? It’s like with alts ? you don’t like variety anymore ?
I ask this because I’m very concerned about this vertical farm system.
I usually run on my ranger with :
x3 Short bows ( apothecary, berserker, settler’s )
x2 Long berserker bows
x4 armor sets ( settler’s, berserker, apothecary, cleric )
xX between swords/axes/torches/warnhorns ( too many to count )
x4 trinkets sets ( same as armors )
In the end I’ve something like 60 pieces of equipements in my bag 24/7, and I’ve many more pieces in my bank.
Right now I’ve been able by playing 3+ hours a day to collect for my 3 toons:
3 scended necklaces
3 ascended rings
That’s it, nothing more
I don’t think I will ever be able to get 1 full set of ascendent, I have a work and a social life to attend to :P, I understand the pople who have all day long to play GW2 will complete these sets in a couple of weeks or less, but not us, the avarage ones.
And what I’m supposed to do with the exotic equipe ? can you make them account bound or sellable ? It’s like a waste of time/energy to me.
Some will reply " you have to play PvE, craft, do everything the game offers ", Yeah guys I really tried ! I’ve farmed 2 months to get the amount of karka shells to buy my settler’s armor, this last weekend I played 50% of my free time in the karka Island ( sout-something)to buy the settler’s armor, you know what happened ? after I released the 2 easy camps all alone ( noobody was helping ) a very big Group of people + 3 commanders joined just to kill the karka queen ! in 10 mins frame the map got from 2/3 ppl to 60/70 and back to 2/3.
This is just pathetic attitude, and you know what ? I asked in map chat to help me find the armor trader but nobody helped me lol, some just poke fun of me, most of them were too busy fighting the queen I had to guest in another server and wait for them to get in the map and free the 4 needed camps, in the end I finally did it ! but now I’m traumatised by the attitude of PvErs, are you just a farm machine or something more ? do you still have blood on your veins or it has been replaced by karma liquid ?
No offence is intended
cheers
Edited : I’m not good at writing :P
(edited by sminkiottone.6972)
I log into forums and every day I see a thread posted about perma stealth thief. Nabs will keep posting such threads until the receive a thief on plate for dinner.
Don’t worry good thiefs will still be good, it’s just the rest of you that will need to reroll the next Op class to win
I think you are over reacting, I normaly stomp between 2/5 ppl each 15 mins, in the same time I can cap 1/2 sentrys and 1 camp, so I will get something like 10 points/15 mins for my server.
I very love this new system, it could give the low populated server more chance to win the mach up, or at least having some fun in the borderland.
Roamers will have the possibility to balance the outcome a machup.
I think servers like Piken Square and Gandara, or any server with lots of roamers will be stronger than before compared to stacked servers like Vizunah.
coordination and guild/groups skill will have much stronger impact
well, I don’t think Anet cares much about what the thieves think. Everyone else is whining about thieves, so they keep nerfing them, so all others are happy.
As I understood it, giving reveal to rangers is just a start and other classes will follow, wait another month and all classes can reveal us. So as soon as we fight against 2 we are dead, because we can’t stealth anymore.
I bet this class will be broken until Chrismas.
Right now, I can at least farm most players, because they just suck.
When fighting against good players, you really have a hard time already.
To be honest, a good ranger doesn’t need the reveal to kill you, if he knows when to dodge and when to block, but with it he has it much easier.We will see how many rangers will use that skill. What annoys me is, that there is a skill which focuses on a single class. I mean, mesmers can also stealth, no question, but in 1v1 fights, they can’t use it often.
So which other skills exist in this game, which are against one class?
Thief as it is right now is almost immortal with stealth, is there a reason becuase most ppl roam with thief ? yes, it’s the easiest class right now, it compensate the lack of skill,
I hope this will change as soon as possible, all class should be able to counter thiefs, as thief is able to counter all builds.
It’s not gonna destroy the class, this is the first step to balance broke mechanics, the most broken was stealth.
I love to read you guys whining
…
sry but was too long to quote
About Sick’Em:
I don’t think it will be as bad as you think, you will always be able to dodge or counter “Sick’em”, it will give the ranger a real possibility to counter stalth, which wasn’t possible.
It should have ben like this from the beginning, finally anet is adressing this problem.
The ranger, from the official site :
"
Rangers rely on a keen eye, a steady hand, and the power of nature itself. Unparalleled archers, rangers are capable of bringing down foes from a distance with their bows. With traps, nature spirits, and a stable of loyal pets at their command, rangers can adapt to ANY situation."
The only thing I fear for the upcoming changes is the increase of the pet hp, not that changes anything in small groups fight ( who kills pets ? ), its just to OP for camp flipping, with that boost even a fully upgrade camp is easy business.
Except that I didn’t die. And got at least 2 people whine after every match. Thief is my full time pvp now. Get your facts straight or kitten. Plz. For us all.
They love to much the easy mode, it’s just impossible to discuss with them
I’m still waiting for one of those pro thiefs to show me he can kill lots of good thiefs with a ranger, they say its easy job, not gonna happen.
Just because it’s not fair doesn’t mean it’s a good reason to make it even more unfair.
This ! you deserve a candy sir
What if a new player starts next year ? most people will already be full ascendent with guard leech and applied fortitude, it’s not gonna be funny, or what if anet decide to implement another class ? just think
I agree with you, would love to hear from Anet, and I don’t wanna ear more excuses
They said they would introduce liquid karma to help people like me who play 2+ toons, strange thing is that I just got 2 boost since, I made like 10 ranks with the ranger and 6/7 ranks with the ele, that doesn’t help much!
Each rank up with the main toon should give 100% chance to receive a wxp boost for your next rank with the second toon ( not quit sure if its understandable ), this would help a little Anet
WvW is the only game mode with a direct counter to stealth in tactically necessary situations, so this whole thread is busted. Stealth traps people. If thieves are ruining your sieges learn to drop them and problem solved. If this is an issue with personal 1v1 battles against thieves though, this is the wrong place, and frankly it is more of a personal L2P issue at that point.
This is from a skilled thief XD.. yes I’m sure, only pro player run thief
When did i say anything like that? do you even read?
Well, you imply that people who loses vs thief need to l2p, am I right ? if not im sorry, I some times have trubles reading english, but again, if I’am right you are just over confident in you skill, I wanna see a video of you stomping a good thief with another class ! maybe a ranger ? i will be your padawan if you do it

Doing so would invalidate the time people spend acquiring that gear. I think the heart of your post is in the right place, but what we would rather do is make possible for people to get the gear by playing WvW with a sprinkling of PvE, rather than the other way around.
Did any GW1 players feel “invalidated” because their high end armor (chaos gloves, obsidian armor, rare weapons, etc) did not give them an advantage over other players who didn’t want to spend their time acquiring such items? No. That was part of what made GW1 great.
You should apologize to GW1 developers man, this game should never be compared to GW2, gw2 is a festival of bad ideas badly implemented, they should realy learn from theyr predecessors.
Very nice idea ! I would love to do it, I just imaggine something like the orb speed ( very slow ) and I would not let the player decide when to drop the boundle ( maybe only if hes downed ) to prevent this mechanic to be too easy and farmable.
Everything that promote roaming is well accepted and supported keep the nice ideas coming
