Just to let you know – Rain Man could do tier1.
Big problem is tier4, which in most cases is for solo zerker builds ( and this is exactly how I did it on my guardian; we tried doing it in team and failed )
That’s how i did it. I did t1-3 with my warrior solo but t4 i couldn’t do because of the close spawn point. t4 i did with mesmer solo and used illusions to disengage so i could kill the plunderer in close spawn.
Arenanet i am very pleased with this minigame thank you! Now i hope you dont change anything except maybe where the ghosts spawn after you kill them? it could be a little more random but otherwise its perfect. And to those of you who complain about hiding, guess what that is the point to survive.
So when are we getting a nerf for this?
Never. i finished so its possible.
Guardian healing is pretty useless yes. Its why i made a guardian in the beginning because i did enjoy playing monk in gw1. however i quickly realized how weak it is and rerolled warrior.
No if anything they could give them a little less radar i think they find them too fast.
The only thing I haven’t liked after playing it more is how some people just go scavenge rations and hide away on corners of the map, that alone should be reason to keep Karka, to kill the little wusses who just hide the whole game, makes everything really boring
This. I’ve played this minigame quite a lot in the past few days, and while I like it immensely, it’s starting to kitten me off how 99% of the time the winner is a guy who stocked 9 rations and ran away to hide in the southeast corner, or in the salamander cave.
I disagree with this. The point of the minigame is after all surviving. Its why ghosts can attack them. They could also be one of the first who dies i have won without barely hiding at all but then i was very lucky because thats hotspot for ghosts. I love everything about this the only thing i don’t like. Is that when you kill a player he spawn on top of you and chances are he will try to kill you as fast as possible. I think it could be more random where they spawn when they enter ghost mode.
i soloed t1-3 with warrior and t4 with Mesmer didn’t think it was hard at all.
Agree with you i was playing lots of survival yesterday and every time i killed someone they spawned on top of me and karkas coming out of nowhere sometimes their impossible to outrun if I’m behind a crate etc. I love it but please they spawn on top of you when they die fix that.
This is exactly the point of conditions kill tanks, working as intended. You want them to make it so that you can never die to conditions? whats the point of that?
There is ways to deal with conditions. And eles can cleanse conditions better than guards.
The only ones asking for zerker builds are trying to do speed runs. If you want to do speed runs then by all means zerker is the way to go (assuming you are a decent player, otherwise you are a liability for when the content starts to become difficult).
That’s true. But even when they don’t ask for anything particular. Most of them are using zerker especially warriors. When you are dealing with mobs with over 60k hp everything else feel like a chore.
Why did they even nerf the axe dps? they was in a bad state before and worse now. i got a suggestion give them more dps revert axe nerf, increase hb dmg , revert zerkers power change or put empowered in strenght adept. This would significantly make them more useful in pvp.
Toolkit and bomb kit is melee and flamethrower is almost melee has a really short range. But their ranged dmg is actually pretty good i do always +2k dmg per rifle shot. Their not really that strong in melee nothing compared to warrior. I still love my engineer i like to go around with 4 kits. Really hope they add more kits when the new skills are released
I have both and i prefer warrior in pve. I’m using full berserker i don’t need any guardians to keep me alive can easily melee most bosses guess its a matter of preferences but i prefer warrior. my warrior can hit 20-40k with hb depending on mobs and my guardian hits only 3-4k with zerker gear.
Whats the point of this? its grandmaster trait and if this happens i wont use my engi at all same with last patch haven’t used my ranger at all after that.
Did you see the word nerf and just decide to post?
so basically grenadier stay the same but without it you get 3 grenades too? at least they could change grenadier to adept trait then. it make no sense its grandmaster.
Why do these threads keep popping up? why cant you just use the strong builds and enjoy the game already? I’m having a blast on my necro. That doesn’t mean i want to be stuck on 1 necro build options is always welcome.

They nerfed axe hard. They nerfed all 3 attacks in autoattack chain but then they gave a small buff to the last hit on trippelchop for some reason no idea why its still nerfed. And i don’t see the point they balance classes around pvp and warrior suck in pvp so why? well its a mystery.
Agree with this i stopped attacking eles defending towers because of this, you kill them they get invulnerable and revive themselves in keep. and even if you kill them on wall they can still get to safety with mist form.
I do not think they should. Because what you get on free transfers is people with nothing invested. So if they show up, don’t mesh well with the community, then they just hop to another server….Or worse drama builds, and everyone suffers.
Before transfer cost i never saw this ever and the server i had the most fun on was actually vabbi one of the lowest ranked ones. I have been to several servers. The community on every server I’ve been to was great except for vizunah square which i was only on 3 days because i didn’t understand anything.
You don’t have to mesh well with the community to follow a commander and kill enemy players.
I did this with my theif it was easy mode i just ran past all the campers.
There’s really any point in arguing feedback here, the fault is Anet boss design and in particular, their attacks.
Lupi isnt the only one that does this, there are plenty others. These specific kinds of overpowering attacks should punch through both reflect and block. We got dodge, harder difficulty wouldnt hurt.
Except when you go with a random group, i can dodge most boss attacks and maybe you can the same but you would be surprised how many cant and just stand still behind wall of reflection because they don’t know how to dodge at all.
The ultimate solution to this is remove aoe limit and activate friendly fire then there would be less zerging and more tactics.
I don’t see how removing the rally system make any difference other than killing players even faster.
I hope they wont make it soulbound then because i can’t afford to finish it cost another 500~ gold. and 10.000 sounds a little extreme tbh.
Heres my list , If its in wvw where you can w/e stats you want. in spvp its a little different.
1. Theif
2. Engi
3. Mes
4. Ele
5. Necro
6. Ranger
7. Guard
8. War
But i must say i feel the game is quite balanced at the moment. Don’t take this list as its impossible to kill a theif for a warrior its just when everything is taken into consideration

Im all for diversity arenanet more armors and more back items is what the game need god job with bazaar i had a lot of fun.
Sorry Tom, I idgaf bout hot join zergfest where u dont need any self def coz ur group will save u…
You obviously haven’t used this build i don’t need to be saved , i have chill,cripple,fear for CC. As well as blind. I have 2,730 armor. If i take heavy aggro i just press f1 and then i get another 20k hp.
And it only work in hotjoin you said? well thats wrong. it works everywhere in tpvp i can kill 2 bunkers at the same time. as well as deal with burst thieves. it just take some timing and coordination.
Just remember to not cry for nerfs if a necro killed you and you were not a necro.
because necro is currently the optimal profession for pvp its a fact.
No even 1 stunbreak or corrupt boon/epidemic? Aha.
Have to be troll :o
lol you think you can beat it is that what you are saying? bring a build with 3+ stunbreaker it wont save you from this. there might necro builds that could destroy this one but it it get the job done for the most part. the current meta is necro is you are not a necro then you are useless period.
You just found out? necro is best pvp period.
The build im using is:0
30, II,IX,XI
20, II,IX
20,V,III
0
scepter/dagger and staff. sigil of earth on scepter. Sigil of corruption on dagger.
And sigil of superior blood on staff.
with rabid stats.
skills, consume conditions, blood is power, signet of spite, well of corruption, flesh golem.
Enjoy you are now capable of killing everything in pvp. If you are not using necro then don’t complain you will soon figure out how strong it isThanks Tom, I might try that out!
You’re welcome, i forgot 1 thing you need runes of the undead thats optimal for this build enjoy.

The Thief.
The class that is next to totally USELESS in a WvW zerg
They have the fastest blast finisher and massive aoe i have seen cluster bomb hit 6k+ on my theif. Dagger storm can put out some serious damage. Their also quite useful to res downed players in stealth.
I would love this i just hope it wont have astronomic prices like you need 40g only to buy a chair or something.
I don’t mind the crafting but what i don’t like is that if i want a full set of celestial armor it would take 40 days, what if i also want full celestial trinkets another 40 days what about 2 celestial weapons as well then thats 90 days way too long for me.
Agree with you. I havent used engi much in pvp, but ranger is almost as strong as necro except less hp, slightly less condition damage and no boon hate.
as well as flesh golem > cats.
I can kill anything with condition necro even burst thieves and can win several 2 vs 1. Warrior is pretty much a free kill not a threat at all.
Ok if they add this to hall of monuments then it don’t need any achievement points.
Not that i think it will happen but until then this is fair.

See ? none of the good skins were imported except for fellblade.
But its not the same as in gw1.
Grinding for those hom points toke years and for what?
skins that is good until you reach level 80? achievement points equal to 5 dailies?
For players that supported arenanet for 8 years? this was a good change.
I disagree with this it take you 1 second to target the player instead of the pet if thats too hard for you then learn it and yes it is a little hard with mesmer but thats just fair.
Ive seen some episodes and i remember that grouch guy showed his rating once and he were among top 50 either US or EU so these are defiantly top dogs. But i wouldn’t mind if they were taking pve into consideration too or making a new show for pve if these are dedicated to pvp. Because pvp players are a minority and pve players have to suffer from nerfs done in pvp, ranger who had a hard time finding a team before got it worse now last patch.
One more thing i would like to add guesting in wvw, i have a friend in another server but to play with him would cost me 60g and thats just too much.
living story in orr or southsun so not all zones are dead.
Guild halls and GvG.
More skills and build diversity and more freedom and able to swap around weapon skills.
And to compensate for the stealth nerf they get a tiny buff to vital shot thats it? you do realize theif is designed around stealth they use it for both defense and offense this would completely destroy the profession.
No its not theif can spam blind even more.
bump i would really like to see this added it would make more build diversity.
Hello i would like to see new armor and trinkets with Vitality(main)/condition damage/toughness stats maybe craftable thanks.
If you are not using a ranger,necro,theif,engineer with conditions then you are not using a pvp build and should be expected to be stomped and then don’t come crying here on the forums.
This is so funny mainly because everyone said necro is free kill and completely useless etc then they get just a little kittenallenge don’t even bother with condition removals. Then omfg necro op nerf now , why don’t they just play one then instead of crying like this. Pretty sure if necro get nerfed hard enough theif conditions will be the next meta.
They should revert the nerfs on ranger to make it on par with necro. There is no reason to use ranger in pvp anymore. and stop using useless bunker builds with 200dps if thats what you are using to fight necros then that pretty much sum it up.
I think achievement points should not be used as a currency and to be honest it would be better if they just got rid of the whole system its a really poor way to show how good you are in the game.
then why don’t you play necro? or just the one you enjoy is it that big deal. The game have no trinity so there is always going to be a best build deal with it.
I like it the way it is i actually think it would be a little bit OP if you got healed when you entered DS. and remember its not a guardian its a necro their not meant to be able to heal like a guardian.
