because they would need an actual AI for that and if you look at pve, there’s absolutely no form of responsive AI in this game.

this is not supposed to be for pvp take the OP into consideration keep your pvp fetish out of his thread and i have both classes at 80 and use them both for PVE switching between the two depending on class composition. and honestly MUCH much easier on Necro and I can carry parties that mess up with more reliability on necro
well, i keep my pvp fetish to myself then and tell you, that in pve you don’t need stability and necro still has none. necro is most definitely easier to play than the max dps eles, that’s true.
ele @ Gf Left Me Coz Of Ladderboard [vain] (EU) / Salty Strategy [PAIN]
incredibly fun to run, but i doubt the effectiveness in tpvp. great against eles tho!

ele @ Gf Left Me Coz Of Ladderboard [vain] (EU) / Salty Strategy [PAIN]
hahahaha, i do the same. usually i get stuck in "catch me if you can" mode and try to aggro as many of those pve mobs (yes, that’s what people in yoloQ at my level are, since i cannot rise in ladderboard) and kite them across the whole map
ele @ Gf Left Me Coz Of Ladderboard [vain] (EU) / Salty Strategy [PAIN]
i would say those are the server desyncs then. i know of no bug causing HS to miss. then again, i don’t play thief that much
ele @ Gf Left Me Coz Of Ladderboard [vain] (EU) / Salty Strategy [PAIN]
i can wholeheartedly agree to both of your points!
except for one thing: gw1 pvp was nice, yes and overall a pretty neat pvp experience, but it was not that glorious and problem-free as everybody remembers it. it had major balance flaws as well, a new fotm terror after every balance patch, ... horrible memories!

All projectile skills with a trajectory can hit targets beyond their listed range, especially if the shooter has a higher ground.
Wrong.
nope, actually, you are wrong, my friend. like tuomir correctly stated: all projectile skills with a trajectory can hit blabla
ele @ Gf Left Me Coz Of Ladderboard [vain] (EU) / Salty Strategy [PAIN]
yep. depends on your team comp and enemy team comp. sometimes you can deny the far cap for so long, that it forces your enemy team to move at least one other player to far, producing an outnumbered fight in mid, which, supported by your close holder (provided they don’t harass close themselves) should come to a quick end. with 3 people on respawn, 2 further members (high dps professions, thief+mesmer pain train for example) of your team can push far, provided your harasser still has the decap and decide the fight for your team. you’ve now forced the enemy team into snowballing in 3v5 and 2v5 situations. gg
of course, this only applies to perfect plays. never do risky kitten like this in yoloQ or with a team you are not 100% in sync with
ele @ Gf Left Me Coz Of Ladderboard [vain] (EU) / Salty Strategy [PAIN]
don’t worry, it’s not only happening for thieves. actually, the earthshaker is broken, hitting quite a few ticks earlier than the actual animation. we tested it on many different occasions on many different servers.
same goes for ele’s burning speed. hits too early most of the times, at other times, the burst doesn’t seem to do anything at all.

This game is not e-sport worthy, this game is a joke.
A joke with best combat system ever created, a totally wasted potential due to terrible devs decisions.
didn’t you know that devs don’t make decisions?
follow the link on my signature, and say you are sorry.
these reviews are actually very, very, very, very disturbing. i suspected, that something was going on, but this actually gives me the creeps just reading it. sounds like you need a bottoms up full fledged revolution down there at arena net!
ele @ Gf Left Me Coz Of Ladderboard [vain] (EU) / Salty Strategy [PAIN]
i’m gonna have to break this down
better access to stability? mist form, armor of earth x2, earth attunement switch if traited, arcane shield + tornado are pretty much the most useful stability utilities in the game. the only profession that comes with more stabi is the warrior.
guard has more than anything other than warrior and traited for 2s of stability when parties demand zerker cute.
i really really don’t understand this sentence. it makes absolutely no sense. but let’s investigate:
guardian:
skills
Shelter 1 1/4 sec
“Stand Your Ground!” 5 sec
renewed focus 2 sec
traits:
indomitable courage 3s
total: 11 1/4 sec. whoop dee kittening doo…
i will not take hallowed ground into consideration, since you said it’s for running purposes only
warrior:
balanced stance 8sec
dolyak signet 8sec
and more if you count rampage and some traits, but that alone makes for 16 secs of stability.
arcane shield is a block not a stability kittens in 0.1 seconds is enough to get you knocked down in pve thats a thing and it happens.
arcane shield is also a stunbreaker and it eats 3 hits, what else do you want? you don’t even get infight if hit.
tornado would be nice except right stability is wanted for running portions and you dont want to actually hit enemies because it slows you down can you NOT hit enemies with tornado?
if enemies hit you, you will slow down, no matter if you have stability or not. if you want to run at ooc (130%) speed, don’t get hit.
armor or earth alright ill give you that but x2? think again gaining stability doesnt stand you back up if your already down so even if you took that trait which again zerker zerker zerker if your under half health your gonna be dead before the knockdown is over.
armor of earth is a stunbreaker. earths embrace (earth III) grants armor of earth, ergo stunbreaker. get your facts straight.
so really yah mistform and one armor of earth if you give up not one but two of your utility for it. your parties must love you so much
my party actually loves me for being able to stay infight for a very very very very very long time due to blink, long range and high mobility in general. and they love me even more if they miscalculate and i can still get out of a §$%$%/&%/ HAMMER STUNS charge or can hold my ground against decap engis and freaking hambows.
by now, i’m guessing you never ever played ele or necro to more than level 30.

ele @ Gf Left Me Coz Of Ladderboard [vain] (EU) / Salty Strategy [PAIN]
the best indication is probably, that y’all have to open balance threads in the wrong subforum. not only the wrong subforum, but in EVERY subforum.
and just fyi, running 2 elementalists is a huge huge risk for these teams. an ele is so much quicker to focus down than a guard and doesn’t bring the same amount of support. but better ask those teams for themselves, why they run dual ele setups
ele @ Gf Left Me Coz Of Ladderboard [vain] (EU) / Salty Strategy [PAIN]
i just played two matches of yoloQ, one i had someone from ESL in my team, the other was with smoozi from ilogic squad, the rest of the team had 30 matches in tq and sq COMBINED. enemies were from pwn and asdf and so on and so on. very flawed system, i tell you.

Your data looks good, nothing out of place. Let me know if you do see anything strange though.
thx a lot man, so now i know it’s not my account.
wait, that leaves me to blame! NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
kidding aside, alright, i’ll look if i spot anything. although i don’t understand one thing about the matchmaking: how can people with 30/30 rating on my friendslist get on top 300, while i never seem to make any progress?
oh and yes, i tried to understand the system, i actually did get the math behind it, i just don’t understand, where the extreme amount of outliers is coming from, especially around the lower numbers. this is a regular thing that’s happening here, so the system from 10-50 games played is somehow flawed.
ele @ Gf Left Me Coz Of Ladderboard [vain] (EU) / Salty Strategy [PAIN]

no but srsly if you want to play thief in solo q before you click submit a warrior npc should spawn and if you get kittened by the npc the queue will reject you with the message “you are not prepared”.

ele @ Gf Left Me Coz Of Ladderboard [vain] (EU) / Salty Strategy [PAIN]
No, nothing has changed. I’ll take a look at your data tomorrow to see if anything might have happened.
could you take a look at my data as well, since i seem to win a lot of games in a row but never ever rise in the spvp ladderboard.
others win 3 games and rise to top100 with 20 played games, while i win 5 games in a row and my rating is even lower than before, so i am still stuck at the lowest of levels, playing with the lowest of lifeforms
ele @ Gf Left Me Coz Of Ladderboard [vain] (EU) / Salty Strategy [PAIN]
my wildest guess would be accidental mist/vapour form for eles.
some sort of ,5s CD would be nice, i agree. especially for ele / thief

you can indeed scan builds in spectator mode, but i guess that’s not what OP wanted to know

i do agree that the ""team"fights" were fun in 8v8, but the maps are not built for it. you would have to introduce a courtyard-like DM system in those arenas.
ele @ Gf Left Me Coz Of Ladderboard [vain] (EU) / Salty Strategy [PAIN]
this would lead to a total economical breakdown
so, mr. OP: i need you services once again:
i am currently testing a combination of traveler/valkyrie for my d/d spec but i would really love to run the numbers against a celestial/strength combo. my problem is, i don’t have the resources. is there an existing spredsheet somewhere? if you have one, would you either link it to me or just crunch the numbers on those two combos for me pls?
ele @ Gf Left Me Coz Of Ladderboard [vain] (EU) / Salty Strategy [PAIN]
with all that 1v8ing, you must be at the bottom of the ladderboard by now cheer up, you can Q solo in teamQ

ele @ Gf Left Me Coz Of Ladderboard [vain] (EU) / Salty Strategy [PAIN]
well, to be honest, i always pictured the thief to be doing exactly that and i still think the thief should be the hard counter to every zerker spec in the game. every other profession can endure a thief long enough and even win. plus, i don’t really want to discuss this, because i am a really really terrible thief and i cannot even know if this is true in general.
ele @ Gf Left Me Coz Of Ladderboard [vain] (EU) / Salty Strategy [PAIN]
at the moment, i would say, traveler is a good alternative to strength for pvp, because of boon duration and speed increase. it pretty much suits the "i go where i am needed, but i am needed everywhere" playstyle of the d/d elementalist. pack is not really doing it for me and rage,... the crit chance is still too low on a d/d to get something out of the increased ferocity.
