Guild Wars 2

Honestly it seems vague to be able to attack and evade at the same time. . .typically in fighting games if you attack someone you are left open to a counter (not worried about blurred frenzy because it doesn’t do alot of damage by itself). Also you have steal/infiltrator’s signet to setup PWs if you are a baddy and don’t know how to aim properly.

i’ve never seen a thief just straightup spam pistolwhip, the sword autoattack chain is very strong.

30/x/x/x/x is actually the worst spec in the game, have fun dying because you can’t kill things fast enough.

30 fire only appeals to nubs because they see: POWER traitline and automatically think it will give them the most dps.

It’s fairly easy to dodge OR reflect (muhahaha) unless you are stunned/immobilized for days.

with water trident.

Those necro players were so nice not to fear you during ER. . .

Also from the looks of it, runes of the pack, 30 arcana, maybe thinking /atleast/ 15 water and 15 air. It’s all speculation from just watching you kick booty.

y so much qq?

skyhammer best map it’s like playing call of duty!

did you really just say thief is the squishiest class in game?

focus is clearly better, you can /dance while 5 or more people beat on you.

But my friend who is a champion Paragon told me the key to guardian is pressing all your buttons at once.

please make it happen anet,
ANET PLEASE.

ele is fine please do not read this thread or buff us

increase cooldowns.

OOOO BURN
FIGHT FIGHT

You don’t even need to dodge DT you can simply walk away from the aoe.

people still have trouble with thieves? didn’t s/d get nerfed?

1. question I have to ask who is standing still for you to die from fiery rush LF?

go

I do well on my ele in tpvp perhaps it is a lrn2play issue.

you are just nitpicking and taking my comment out of context.
the guy i responded to said poison is a counter to healing signet, well FLASH NEWS: POISON IS A COUNTER TO ACTIVE HEALS TOO

no need to put words in my mouth all I said was and you can quote on me on this, “poison”.

lol.

Couple months ago there was a video of an ele who 100-0 some ranger on treb in under a few seconds and people said that person was a known macro user but you can’t really prove that.

bolt to heart is actually useless.

nah

wow

@bsgapollo

pretty sure that was sarcasm on coldtart’s end

wow such immunity

when the mesmer summons his 3rd iduelist

4 ele 1 guardian, constant 25 might stacks. Ran CoE and we had our FGS out just melting our good buddy Alpha in a corner.

guanlongwucaii.3162:

So the first time we wipe (I couldn’t solo phase 3 because I’m bad and died to frenzied blast). The second time, the same thing happens and by the end of phase 2 everyone else is dead, so I’m solo meleeing phase 3.

sorry that pugs can’t dodge red circles, bring an ele next time? http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Swirling_Winds

I use a super secret double focus build on my ele. It uses 2 focus weapons if you’re slow and haven’t figuired it out yet (one main one offhand), has insane burst. One shot 30k hp warriors ez mode press 1 button and you get free ranks.

lollasaurus.1457:

Everyone should only be allowed to play condispam necro, condi warrior, condiphantasm turn off brain and win mesmer, press 1 to win ranger, or spam aoe on point engineer. All other classes may delete themselves from the game, thanks.

that’s actually how I got rank 2 before the ladderboard reset. spam nades on engy, win games. (it’s funny how 3 people will go to stomp or revive 1 person )

Anierna.6918:

so the op is advocating 25/25/10/10/0, s/d, with LH, AB, and AS utilities. He’s wrong.

cursE proposes to fix the op’s build by changing it to: 30/20/0/20/0, still s/d, LH, AW, and either AB or AS (he didnt specify). with either scholars or divinities. he believes this build is highest dps, but is not viable because it has too little survivability. He is also wrong, on all counts.

Assuming you must provide perma fury and perma 25 stacks might to group, you should be using 30/10/10/20/0, s/f, not s/d as you two are using. I posted a vid of the proper s/f LH rotation for maximum might-stacking in a previous thread – scroll through my post history to find it. It was done on a practice dummy in LA, so dmg will be FAR lower than in dungeons, but the rotation is what you should be focusing on, not the dmg.

you should be using zerk/scholars in organized groups, since you can maintain perma 25 might if the party spams Embers. In pugs, you should use zerk/might durations (2x hoelbrak, 2x pirate, 2x strength), since most pugs are so bad they dont even know what Embers are. I used boon durations in the s/f vid I posted, but that was a mistake; I should have used might durations.

if you dont need to stack fury, since some other party member is giving it, go 0/20/25/25/0, or 10/10/25/25/0 if you want conjurer. both these are higher dps than 30/10/10/20/0, but dont give AoE fury

@ cursE: you should never use divinities in pve. dont even suggest it. glass ele builds are perfectly viable, since bosses die in under 10 secs, during which time you can avoid all dmg via 2x dodges, fgs 3, hiding inside wall/feedback, relying on aegis from guard, relying on blinds from lh/guard, perhaps using AS (although I dont need it), etc. survivability only becomes an issue if the group is too noob to be able to kill bosses ASAP, which only happens when group members run BS builds such as 30/20/0/20/0 s/d with divinities or (god forbid) some sort of “survivability” or “healing” build that screws the team.

r.i.p RTL

Anet balances pve around spvp and whiners, please go here to discuss: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp.

Also you can’t compare staff to dagger MH because obviously. . . staff has more skills than just a mainhand weapon, so it’s kinda unfair you included meteor shower in your argument.

don’t forget dagger MH has aoe chill, aoe weakness, aoe cripple/bleed and easier to land than dragon’s thooth aoe fire/dmg.

sounds like it might work considering a friend of mine use to drop people like dead flies on nodes in tpvp with scepter/focus icebow.

icebow is brutal.

edit: I know it’s frostbow but icebow sounds 31.28% more cooler.

Pretty sure there is a ICD on cleansing water so you might not cleanse your allies when you attune to water and soothing wave regen procs beforehand.

In other words another selfish passive trait that doesn’t help your team.

“You’re wrong because I say so and I won’t listen to your argument becasue every player says so besides you.”

Anicetus.1253:

Skilled S/D roamers make sure to burst you after you use shocking aura

oops

tldr

Solo q means nothing the game gave me rank 2 before and I sure as hell didn’t deserve it.

Yeah I’ve met good thieves in wvw. . . they port away with shadowstep and infil arrow so you can’t catch them. :P

Kill them before they kill you? Try triple arcana 0/30/0/10/30 s/f and you have the tools to deal with about any class 1vs1.

I feel like this might bring back the valk/cleric eles since their major problem was low vitality and conditions.

Also what’s the point of going 10 into water come december 10th if nothing good is there anymore? 0/30/30/0/10 seems more reasonable.

Power necro is 100x more scarey than condition specced anyway, dem 6k piercing lifeblasts.

The best runes are infiltrator because they let us stealth just right before dying like an actual thief type class!
