Guild Wars 2

Valor Line:
Yeah, same here.

Virtue Line :
Master Consecration is a mandatory requirement for Burn Guard, not sure why u didnt choose it. Indomitable Courage is a must for me =/. Too many CC nowadays.

My build is slightly different from yours. Mine is more bursting with Radiance double torch throw, block to burn is very stronk and it synergies with Focus5. I’m still doubting the potential of Lithany of Wrath =/, does the burn tick return health to us?

When VS Diamond skin ele, i just walk the opposite direction with my build.
Will try out your build for sure. =D

At Dragon Stand, we got 3 commies, map full, reached Mouth of Modremoth, while at 40% HP remaining,
SUDDENLY~~~~

Loading screen appeared, map changed initiate itself, the Mouth Boss disappeared, players standing still at islands not knowing the reason, 30 secs later map chat filled with swearing raging players.

I consider myself a casual players yet i had encountered such incident for 3 times. Arena please fix it.

yLoon.5289

Please invite, thanks in advance!

See here, that’s the wrong mindset for most of the people:
“Muh this one build can do good with other class, but not with this two classes, dang! How do i make my build perfect!?”

Hello, meaning NECRO counter your CURRENT build, this is what you called BALANCE.
Why dont you try other build instead? BURN GUARD? xD

Well, here’s my 2 cents, just blown everything you got into Necro face when you FIRSTLY saw him, to stop him from gaining Life Force. Your current build can never out-sustain a skilled Necro.

Just let these bunch of kids “I scored high points, definitely i am a PRo then!” wagon to learn the hard way. Pointless to argue further.

They failed to understand “You may win the battle, but you lose the war”

DH is too predictable, free kill for anyone. For newcomer maybe you could own them, for veteran, yeah, try your luck and wish they step on your trap then.

Well what build do you want? PVE? PVP? WvW?
Guard is just not for you then if you prefer the Bear to tank every single thing for you in PVE.

Depend on which mode you are playing, Burn Guard is pretty neat atm since everyone expecting a DH in pvp.

I enjoy using Shield5 while hopping around at Bloomhunger or Fire Shaman eats back its agony attack =x

It seems OP still havent got DH trait ready, well try this then.

Sword 2+ (Torch4 x3)Radiant Fire proc + Sword 3 + Sword 1 x2 = =dead mob

Burn guard is seems to be better because majority of pvpers are too used to fight with DH and hence knows how to counter them.

While when im feeling as a troll, i play burn guard. One day i pawned a Mesmer and a DH (both of them kissed floor at the same moment), they called me
“A Blast from the Past” Lol
Yeah so, surprise is still a vital element in pvp.

Use the same pet in aquatic & terrestial, no change of name required then.
I am a pew pew bearbow ranger mostly for map exploration. Too bad bristleback couldnt be used in water, i will rename it to Ak Forty Seven. xD

Huh? I can solo pew pew Champion Hero Point with my Bear tanking all the time, had lots of fun in map exploration, rarely died in the HoT map compare to other classes. Bristleback damage ish OP o.o, not sure why you judge ranger solely on Raid, are you playing the correct combo & pew pew build? xD

Agree.
With Dragon Hunter trait, im just too used to the 4k healing on 26 seconds cool down =(

Another boring post whining about DH.

You want to know what is instant death in group fight?

Ele meteor shower 2 hits 4k = 8k + aether blast, and thats only consume one of the utility slot skill. Yes, that is a 2 second dying.

Now please go complain in Elementalist forum instead.

Comparing 2 years ago,
Yup, its awesome. You can MOVE while having the bubble that absorb projectile! Cool-down of shield skills reduce tremendously!
For sword, you can reduce its cool-down! More blind!

When people been living in a comfort zone for too long, too used to their old playing style, too used to their rotation, they are too lazy to figure a way to overcome new changes, so they come here and whine.

His favorite class couldn’t pawn DH easily so he is screaming like a kid.
IF there is NOT a single class that can counter DH, yes i support the nerf.

Have you even tried other class that can easily own DH?

Agree.

Everything about GW2 is nice, till Dreamer’s sounds appear. While you are at it, hey why not make a new legendary with sheep, tiger, cat, dog, sounds as well?

The horse sound ISHHH annoying as hell!

But Warrior and Revenant do not have 26 secs cool down on demand+mobility heal for 4k HP =x

Infuriated

My level one Revenant could access to elite spec in pvp lobby, however my existing lvl 80 Ranger and Necro class couldnt.

Yeah, i thought it was sucks too. But to tell you the truth, i was wrong.

I could soloed 2 Veteran “T-Rex” mob with ease, no sweat. Perhaps you should change your old playing style of guard.

Not sure about PVP though, too busy with new exploring new map =p

Game crashed whenever I click on a World Chest Reward

Hahaha forget it OP, Arena wont read this. This is the problem I’ve been emphasize aeon years ago. The stronKkk will always prey on the weak, simple as that.

Solution is simple actually, just let new players to join hotjoin matches from Rank 1 to Rank 15 ONLY, segregating matches through Rank etc. etc etc

Its just weird, Arena do not allow new players to open lvl 50 fractal instantly, but allowing them to get slaughter in veteran pvp matches and chase them away. Logic of arena only they know.

At the end of the day, a rabbit shouldn’t be roasted by a dragon.

Arena should have just add another segregation pvp system for beginner and solo pvpers.

Rank 1-15, Rank 16-30 , Rank 31-50, Rank 51-70, Rank 71-80
This way beginners would not be trashed, veteran pvpers only play with players same par with them.
But then again, is the pvp populations are sufficient enough to support this system? xD

Arena :“Shhhh don’t let the Guardians know, we also stole Elusive Power (deal 10% damage when endurance is not full) and gave it to Warrior, shhhhhh they deserve it, they are in good place hehehe.”

Yes, i agree with every single point of OP. Also, to add up, Spirit Weapon still as useless as fuak ever since they removed the invulnerability.

This announcement of druid makes me feel extremely infuriated and offended as a player who main Guard since beta. Enough said.

Wow, you got 4 percusor???

im at 16k AP and i have only obtained ONE percusor, countless run of fractal at lvl 50 and i only have obtain one stupid fractal Spear Gun skin!

DH got no synergy to any of the current weapon. Spending time to figure out how to compliment with other weapons, the only synonymy is with Blind combo, thats it.

Im not gonna spend any money on HoT with this screwing up on my favorite class.

I don’t really expect much from Arena since they have screwed up my favorite class -Guardian. Ranger is my second favorite, not surprise if they screwed this up too.

Anyway, the only thing i hope for is – - – → GIVE US THE FREE WILL TO CONTROL MY WOLF’S KNOCKDOWN SKILL, its just pure stupid if they didn’t give us that, OP engineer got till F4, and we only got F2 with useless F3 & F4

So here’s what warrior got for their new weapon skill.
Flames of War

Light yourself ablaze, burning off conditions and creating a fire field around you that follows you and burns enemies caught inside it. When the field expires, it explodes, dealing damage and applying more burning to foes around you."

Am i the only person that got mad on this?

Just wondering why this OP never complain about Thief HeadShot instead. Try go vs a Thief and tell me which is easier to dodge Point Blank or Headshot
“Oh no, i cant see it coming, nerf it , QQ”
As usual, just another day, another QQ about ranger which obviously inferior to any other class in GW2.

Dont really care actually.
Still prefer to pewpew from afar.

Just hope that they can allow me to control my wolf ’s knockdown, that will do.

Haha, it was supposed to be 8k =x

Anyway, my guess is that you got unlucky that a trick successfully pulled out on you.

Here’s the equation
First hit: Signet of Hunt (150%dmg + Opening strike with vulnerable 5 stacks with Crits )
Second hit: (stealth (Remorseless) + opening strike with vulnerable 10 stacks +150% dmg on signet of hunt again) = 2 hits 7k dmg

The fact is that timing is everything for this trick, the ranger have to wait Signet of Hunt CD to finish before giving you another headshot with 150% dmg. I miss the time where there is no duration for the 150% dmg buff =( Arena ninja nerfed us.

Where what u see is just 2 hits, try a bit effort to understand before accusing and shouting. I’m guessing you are wearing full zerk gear as well? And you expect to tank another full zerk ranger attack?

Not an issue at all.
Im just happy someone ressing him. Automatically free hits. I can cleave them both together (as a guardian with GS) , no need to stomp.

Well the fact is, if you bash them up when the aoe Shadow Refuge mark of the circle is varnish, then, it is legit that they remain stealth.

However, when the mark of the circle on the ground still pulsing, they will revealed if you bash them out.

This is just the mechanic of Shadow Refuge. None issue.

Alright, my bad xD

Thanks for the clarification!

Just had a quick look on the ranger’s specialization. Omg, they have completely taken out the +300 range trait ><

Bad move arena…bad move =/

…3 of your team mate rush lord but failed

Engineer whines about Ranger lol Are you kidding me? lol
Dont make me whine about all of those super neat skills you have.

OP just wanna be invincible with no counter from any class, that is all.
Which is why i super love to pawn these egoistic engineer with my pew pew ranger. Yahoo~~

Eng can decap and bunking in a point so good and that is why exist a class called ranger to smoke you out from capping a point. So stop this whining and please kiss the ground with my arrows on your head =)

Sigh, sad to read such post. I feel you OP, when i first played the game, i was lucky because everyone still new to it, as time goes by, i found out more and more experience players in the pvp environment, thus resulting inexperience pvp players being thrashed =/.

Hello Arena, just segregate PVP players according to the rank, a rabbit/dolyak shouldnt be stomp by a dragon. (Repeated too many times on this…)
If you do not allowed people to play fractal level 50 at the first try, why do you allowed the rabbit to be sacrificed in veteran pvp game?

Where newbies dictate which team to win in pvp, let’s all just forget about pvp rank and treat it as a slaughtering ground with no aim to win.

I’m from Malaysia playingon EU server and im kicking kitten fine in pvp 0.o
Just some lags during zerging in WvW, try turn down your graphics settings perhaps?

Yup, agree with everything OP said.

PvP is dekitten, its always been this way. Rank farming + Automatch issue is the first ever problem since gw2 launched. How arena fixed’ it? They concealed the pvp rank of players instead xD

I concur with the concept of arena, but for competitive game-play in pvp, there is just no casual type, at least not to me. I could not define whats fun for everyone, but for me, its all about sparing with players who had the same playing skill with me. I felt bad for all these new players actually, they got verbal abuse, name callings, trashed by veteran players etc etc.

The only salvation for this is SEGREGATE PLAYERS IN PVP THROUGH RANKING.
Rabbit should play with anyone up to Deer, not with Pheonix and Dragons! If want to, only IF each other is in friendlist!

I don’t get why this thread has gone so long. The OP doesnt even know how to differentiate between uplevel player and lvl 80 players in WvW.

The exaggeration posts are too “nmad” high here and need urgent clarify before it brainwash the new players.

a) There is NO 2000/1900/1700 range attack for any class.
b) 4.5k dmg on auto?? That only possible IF to pair up with Signet of Hunt+Wild + Opening Strike. + Invul

Are you even realized if you are hitting a level 1 uplevel player?
Are you mistaken your opening strike for auto attack, that it was refresh instantly when your zerg killed that person instantly?
This is just a too kitten exaggerated statement, meaning you only need 5 arrows to kill a player? Do you seriously think arena allowed that? Just because ranger is slightly good in zerging, you wanna suggest this, but do you know how ranger was treated in other game mode?

You want risk? Well, thats why ranger got “yttihs” melee weapon. Any experience thief see ranger as fresh meat.Just wait for you to be naked without stone signet, rampage, dodge, protect me, etc. There is so many ways to counter the range, go figure out yourself.

I dont think arena is willing to revert back the ninja nerf on arrow’s velocity. Everyone was all complaining when it was firstly introduced. Hence, atm, new range suggestion is a No from me.

lighter.2708:

duel is infinitely unbalanced in this game, you would not want that…

So what? Its not like the current pvp is balanced anyway, if not, even worse, you are force to play with new players in soloQ. Hotjoin is chaotic, toxic and boring with only the same maps again and again.

I would rather want an open world duel than the current pvp set up. In fact, why bother creating new pvp map? The beautiful open world is already the playground for pvp !

Melting new and veteran players in a pot is the root of problem.

New players got bullied by veteran = quit +
Veteran players soloQ with new players got 50-500 = rage quit.
= Causing Low on genuine pvp population = Root of problem.

haha thumbs up for jcbroe.4329, couldnt agree anymore !

Silhouette.5631 what class did you use when you got owned by a downed ranger? People here may love to give you some tips and points out your weakness.

I don’t see your justification valid just by killing 8 players in 5 mins in WvW, more explaining on detail how you’ve done it perhaps? Are they engaging? Are they low level players? etc etc Are they new players or veteran players? Killed them on 1v1? What class are they?

Unless arena reverse back the ninja nerfed on the velocity of arrow, i may agree with you. Atm, big no.

New players will die to almost anything. L O L, not just A.I hahahaha
PvP player base is so small because new players are being bullied by veteran players in practice , not because of…A.I

With due respect in which post do i even mentioned Guardian is balanced or putting down suggestion? i am just looking changes/suggestion in a holistic point of view.

The point is, J.I have the luxury to be improvised with all these traits, while Mesmer need to select the trait which is innately existed in J.I.

Your proposal (which many ppl have highlighted long ago) is a buff that’s for sure Everyday there are people shouting want this and want that, but my concern is how do we achieve a balance with other classes.

This idea is a double edge sword. Looks good on the paper, but practicality is it viable? Is it balance? Mesmer blink required trait to blink at 1200, Guard blink 1200 without any trait? Not to mention, J.I provides Fury to surrounding allies and self, Heal, Burning. On top of that, now you whining to have teleport function like other classes? Do you think its fair? Sure not!

I still prefer to blink while not facing the enemy (a way for Guard to troll actually) the element of surprise is there, however, if were to suit your proposal, you are easily predictable by enemy because you are always facing the front whenever you perform J.I.

Furthermore you wouldn’t have to worry of teleport shorter distance even if your target is out of 1200 range.
For those who dislike/sick/annoyed by the idea of “guardian are not suppose to run away”, just roll other class, as simple as that. For me, J.I is good as it is now, and i like the concept of not running away.(while trolling ppl actually i could >) )
