Guild Wars 2

On my necro i can facetank full duration of hundred blades not even enough to get it out of death shroud left with 30-40% life force is just redicilous. Warriors just need a buff to hundred blades and whirling axe +50% buff would be a start.
Risk vs reward is not taken into consideration on warrior so much telegraphed skills.

That is normal when hitting 1 mob i do 17-22k with my. The more mobs you hit simultainously the faster you get might. What you can do is change to scholar runes and go 5 in arms 3 in discipline so you can swap to axe when you did HB+ Whirl. Strength runes are only better if you struggle to get to 25 stacks of might so that depends on what content you are doing. If you do a lot of solo pve then its better.
You can also use +10% against mobs utility.

Less Damage in the game
> less spongbob HP bosses
> non-zerkers people = dont need huge dps to kill fast the boss

Spoken like somone who get carried by people using meta builds.
You can just forget about getting carried now though people can’t compensate for the dead weight if this is the direction they are taking.

Do you mean like this?
Just because its not human dosen’t mean they have to dress like boys.
None of my concern though as long as they keep the male armor masculine.

Atleast we have a sturdy body as the balance devs call it thats something.
Depressing to see eles shoot way above 10k DPS while were sitting at 2,5k with gs.
But im okay with that as long as pugs dont kick me from the group i play what i like.
Also guardians now have higher dps is balanced how? they are better in everything.

Rifle is useless in pvp at the moment you can kill a couple noobs in wvw but whats the point they get ressed back up from downed state in 1 or 2 seconds anyway.
In pvp all i can say is good luck. May or may not work in hotjoin but subpar to hambow.
Like somone else mentioned reroll ranger (takes 2 min) until they fix it.

Or how about mapchat and say= everyone there is still team chat… The game is rated 13+ we can handle some trolls. I mean really why does everything have to be so closed down and there is no server pride every server is the same just some have more players.
The most offensive one i got was I hope you die rl and it was not even on my theif.
I hope that norn ranger got hit by the banhammer.

A charr warrior running around with these bad boys.

Katarr knives fit better for thief but how about pike ?
That is what the army of rome were using during their golden days.

When I entered my first GW2 story mode dungeon (AC) I thought “man, this is like hard mode”.

I think GW2 dungeons are like GW1 hard mode without the normal mode.

Yeah, that’s because gw1 dungeons were like fluffy puffy pinkyland.
HM dungeons equaled the non existing easy-easy-easy mode of elite areas.

oneoneone and occasionally dodge must be so much harder than the complex skill system in gw1. There was no berserker builds there either.
Full dps builds would get instakilled anywhere in hardmode.
Honstly comparing this with gw1 is like comparing diablo 2 with warcraft 2.
If you’re gonna tell me to go play it don’t bother i havent played it for +3 years.

silentnight warrior.2714:

Well a top player playing thief said once that if thieves weren’t around, mesmer would be dominating pvp.

As long we have thiefs, pvp should be fine….

I dont know what thieves you have been facing but that must had been 2 years ago when they was actually a force to reckon with. They are fast thats it and it can only take you so far. Infact on my necro i can kill 2 thieves simulatiously.

Flail/morning star which is like a mace with chain.

Mainstream cheese engi have a weakness to ranged attacks so just kill them from far away and then cap the point don’t try to melee him unless you have sufficient stability and know exactly what you are doing.

Thats why i play gw2 every 2 weeks do the living story and log off.
The devs just don’t care anymore. No new dungeons no new pvp modes etc.
But honestly im not complaining i got my money worth.
Still there are more intersting games that you are not allowed to talk about here.

Bored of gw2 played archeage …dissapointed is there any other mmo with skills and roles like gw1 and jumping and persistant world like gw2 ? and with wicked updates like tera ?
Black desert looks promising. Im just tired of the same old 1 build per weapon in gw2.

Yea sure who care about balance as long as theif can never kill a player again.

fire grab can be a face melter

But… can he (you as ele) use OP STEALTHZORS?

Yeah but the thing is stealth dosen’t win fights if the theif have to run away then thats his loss you lose the point for you’re team.
Ele is plenty fast ride the lightning , burning speed , lightning flash Its enough to gain some distance and get to safety so true theif is slightly better when it comes to hiding but that is the ONLY thing they are better at. Ele is also best tank to conditions and one of the best to directs while still having crazy high burst. The nerf to critical damage just amplified the problem even further.
Forcing thieves to use sword and then nerf sword even more.

Theif is suppose to be the Rogue of gw2 instead all people complain about anymore is how they run away and pvp is all celestial dd godmode eles and engineers there is nothing theif can do to kill them and during top team interview with the balance team all the classes they play got buffed and everyone else nerfed except for theif. The theif streamer was incredibly masohistic because he believe the class is op when it can gank low hp targets. and as a result nerf to larcenous strike and immobilize trait? anyone even use it ? and so much else. When dd ele get too much of everything.
dps / control / support AIO to the extremes. But nooo that is balanced. Firegrab that hits for twice as much as backstab and dosent require you to hit from behind.

Im playing in SFR and the only time where queue is a issue is on reset night. This time it was only in EB. Most of the time there just queue in eb and occasionally one other border.
So the Queue and zerg thing is just not true you can chose to zerg or not to zerg depending what border you play. There really i’sent any downsides to winning.

Guild Wars 1 is why I bought Guild Wars 2. I thought it would be at least somewhat similar to the original. Was it? Other than it being in Tyria, not really.

The combat was watered down and more visual effects were added. Tactical builds were for the most part wiped out. PvP was slain.

Would I, or many others, have bought this game had I/we known how it would turn out?
Probably not.

Me too and what is now left of gw1? they even destroyed LA.
Also the community in gw1 were great. In my experience, Here you can talk about something and none answer in GC while in gw1 people could take a joke without thinking you were racist or something. Gameplay is one thing but MMO is pointless without players.
I could go play a game which is designed around singleplayer like skyrim.
I loved everything about gw1 especially the holy trinity ! I was a decent healer too.
I been trying to get into Tera just because of that this dps race can get monotoneous really fast. Unfortunalry the community in that game is really toxic. Like its full of teens which just got their first pimples.

While their at it they can undo the nerfs to warrior back to launch most of it was uncalled for and it vent from being the best dps class to the worst.
To the point where people tell you to reroll.

Perfect balance is unachieveable but why can every other big gaming company pull of a decent holy trinity and some a soft trinity as in you can do trinity roles with multiplie classes like this game was advertised in the first place. It comes down to long cooldown and weak skills not even worth using.
I dont know why people try to build for anything else than damage in PvE.
And ofcourse dodging press v to avoid that obvious red circle.

Thief gets 1 advantage over warrior and here we go…
Sad thing is the “balancing” team will listen because warrior is their favorite class.

In wvw this highly favor the ones with more numbers, It should be so you can’t res when in combat, and ressing speed slightly nerfed it shouldn’t be possible to res faster than you can use 1 finisher. And when you’re dead you get ported back to automatically. Down state class balance is good. Except for ele mist form in towers.
There is some easy hotfixes to make the game less braindead.
Rally system can stay the way it is.

Why is necro at the bottom?

Also:

Which skill hit 34k for mesmer??

i want to start playing mine for more than porting friends up jps, but i suck as a mesmer >.>

Spatial surge but it take 30 seconds to achieve that damage
Ele will still probably be the best after the patch they will just slot out fgs
I put warrior on 2 but only if they use phalanx strength their dps got nerfed too much.

The nerf to HB was totally uncalled for now i have twilight on him for nothing.
Since they nerfed skull crack i haven’t seen anyone ever get killed by this thanks arenanerf.
Can they at least split it for PvE? since when is warriors using it in pvp anymore.

My first character after beta.
I play it when I’m bored of cruising trough everything with warrior.

What bothers me most about this nerf is that theif is the squishiest class with the worst healing and condition cleanses because they have active defense you are suppose to you use the theif toolbox as the devs like to call it to avoid getting hit in the first place.
Now they nerf this and sword without compensation i cant see how that is balanced.

Enjoy the best build s/d while you can after the patch even that will be free kill.

Logic anet die to a theif on his warrior solution nerf theif so the dev can never lose again.
But sometimes it really makes me wonder what they base their balance patches on.
Can we get 18k hp now since we have low hp because we are suppose to not get hit?

Olba.5376:

So basically your complaint is that Guild Wars 2 is not Guild Wars 1.

This is like saying ,I read harry potter philosopher’s stone and it was amazing.
Now i just read Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and it was terrible.
Then why didn’t you just read the first book Again?
Keep in mind guild wars 1 is a 10 year old game. It doesn’t mean its bad.
I agree with OP on some things.

They are already affected by all those things. However they probably shouldn’t.
In pvp all i see is hambows and condi engineers and mm necros all those builds are close to impossible to kill as a theif. If the theif does 1 mistake its game over for him.
Also condi bunker ranger and dd ele can basically never hit their w,a,s,d keys and win.
Chill doesn’t increase cooldown on skills without it because 0×0,66 is still 0.
I think you’re post can be summed up as “I just got killed by a theif I’m rank 5 qq”.

1 good player and suddenly its op.

Depends what you are doing. Keep in mind with 10k hp you are extremely squishy i would recommend getting some Valkyrie pieces to survive when you burst in a team fight. Forget about armor. You are a theif and not warrior hp makes a bigger difference.
I dont know if you’re playing pvp or wvw, however in wvw if all you are going to do is take out stragglers and scouts then full glass cannon would be good. If you are also going with the mainzerg you need some hp minimum 15k. You will thank me when you get hit for 8k izerker or something like that and live trough it

Actually with 10k hp shadow rejuvenation is not going to save you so you might as well go 100% glass cannon with traits 6,6,0,0,2

Its already impossible to kill condi engineers. How about they make it so whenever a theif get hit from incendiary ammo they get enchanted from the shadows and get 5x stronger. I came across 1 ranger that were impossible to kill tho was using some kind of regen condi bunker build and it was just everlasting.
How can this skill even have 1200 range ?? Our ONLY 1200 range skill got nerfed down to 900 which is so slow you can just sidestep out of it.
Its like they want ppl quit theif altogether. Or just force everyone to use s/d the only viable pvp build that is barely competitive. 2-3 lichform attacks and you’re down.

The cinematics where you have you’re character on the left side and a npc on the right side and a picture behind is getting old. Cinematic in gw1 was never like this.

Zackie.8923:

once you go warrior you never go back

That was true in my case in pve i cant play anything else than warrior anymore because it feels like im dead weight on my team if i play something else at the time when i made my warrior third character. It was the be all end all. Now a dozen nerfs later, In a optimal group you would only want one but compared to skill involved its way better than anything else. The damage you can do is enough to kill elite mobs in just a couple of seconds while still be able to sustain a lot of damage.

All baddies complain about anymore is how thieves run away because that is all that is left of the profession. Also only profession that don’t have 1200 range anymore.

I loved the story and nice to see we get a new pve zone hope it stays the rest i cant be bothered with i have enough AP.

Turn off autotargeting and promote skill target in options. Also make sure you don’t leap on any mobs you can still hit them when not targeted, So you need a little space.

They nerfed axe so now its barely any difference from a full 100b unless you already have 25 stacks of might.

Would be good if they made it so you need to be lvl 30 or 40 to enter queue.

Thieves are so op that 45% of the game is guardians 40% warriors and 0,2-1% is thieves plz nerf theivess qq so they can never ever kill a player again!!

silentnight warrior.2714:

This is a good Ideia. I hope they do it. Its a counter to shadow refuge / stealth ress.

Staggering blow on the combo field.
There you go you learned to play now you dont have to make these posts anymore.

Pitfall, Falls in a deep hole. Target gets stunned for 10 seconds then they can climb up.
Note, Climb slowly just like you would with a broken arm not teleport.
Cost 10 supplies.

I whish anet has some report option for that.

reporting people has an effect in this game???

Goldsellers get banned rather fast.

That must be because they get over 5000 reports … Too bad its all hacked accounts.

the luxon one was fun where you kill waves of outcasts then when it gets harder naga then leviathan then saltspray and later siege turtles too bad it had a bug which made the leaderboard on it meaningless but still fun would love to see something like it here.

Maybe make one like the marionette event only difference is every lane is competing witch each other last man standing

You don’t need full zerker to hit 10k with eviscerate should be doable with 1700-1800 ferocity. Before the april patch i did a 27k eviscerate with full zerker.
It wouldn’t be balanced if thieves could do more damage than warriors the reason for that is how telegraphed the high damage warrior skills is. Final thrust is hard to dodge but most are really easy to recognize.

Reroll necro or engi problem solved it take 2 minutes.

Ranger already have stealth enjoy.

Talking about realism in a game with magic and unlimited ammo and dragons is a bit silly.
In the real world women was not sent to war either.
