Guild Wars 2

Hello I would like to ask experienced tpvp players which profession that performs the worst assumeing you play it perfectly and why.

This is not somekind of buff/nerf thread I just want some outside opinions and I think it would be intresting to see what other players think.

Me and some guildies tested the bs thief burst build vs some stuff.. example:
A warrior with 3600 armor and 22k hp is downed by a thief in less than 2 seconds.
A elementalist staff support build with cleric ammy is downed in less then 0.5 seconds.. People seem to not think of the combo with haste which means that you can throw everything u got pretty much or probably calculated as INSTANT. I wont link the build since theres enough thief bs builds as it is but you could probably figure it out and test it yourself. Just want to add to all that defends this type of build that if you ever faced a bs thief 1vs1 as any other class with any kind of specc you like and won you faced a bad thief that didnt know how to do the combos properly or had cds.

How much toughness did you have? I mean, I play a support elementalist build with 2100 toughness and 14k hp and I had protection up and died alot faster then 1.5 sec…(rank 37) what’s your secret in surviving 1.5sec?

HS is fine unless youre faceing a bs thief combined with the skill

They have said earlier that entry fee is 3 tickets/player for entry which is 15 tickets for a whole team. So if you win the first game you get 1 extra ticket which seems okey.

Yeah the game is freezeing in tpvp alot.. All my friends with different isp and comp setups are experienceing the same issues especially on legacy of the foefire in tpvp

Asmodean.5820:

There are some specs which simply do not pack the AoE against mesmers. Those are basically free kills and more or less counter whole specs.

The moa morph reliably kills the whole minion spec of the necros with one button press (to be fair, no one used these bugged minions anyway except the elite).

I would call it balanced if a mesmer had class or specs which counter them hard. However, they still can put up a fair fight with good winning chances.

The question is since you dont need aoe to kill anything else then a mesmer is that balanced?

But the blogpost and fixxes are comming! oh wait…

Is it just us or does tournament play freeze lag alot? It’s totaly unplayable after first map has been played… everything else works fine though(like hotjoin etc). All my friends are currently haveing this issue on different comp setups and isps.

I’ve played an ele since release in tPvP and we’re fine. We have the highest burst, we’re one of the best roamers, treb killers, supports etc…(wont go into speccs but if you’re not farming goldchests like crazy you’re doing something wrong). The only thing I’d like to see a buff on is focus oh since it’s pretty inferior to the other weps but otherwise all good.

If you play a necro and have your pets summoned and get moabirded all your pets die and you get cd on them…

Discuss.

Tournament play:
8. Necromancer(Cant see any reason to ever bring any. Sure their conditions are nice and epidemic is great aoe and so on.. but comon..;P)

There is one thing necros can do better then any other prof (I’ve played every prof) and that is – kill bunker guardians. Now, I wouldn’t know if this is a good reason to bring one with the team.

Yeah necros are pretty good vs some guardians but they are just to easy to lock down/kill. They dont seem to have the survival cooldowns needed to survive long enough vs other professions and deathshroud is just a CC on yourself. Just my opinion though

Tournament play:
1. Warrior(100B has sick burst dmg, combined with some coordinated stuns people just die when their stunbreakers are used)
2. Thief(Good roamer due to high mobility and good 1v1. Nice class to set pressure on everything that’s not survival specced)
3. Guardian(Aoe stability for revives and stomps. Good support together with great point defense).
4. Mesmer(Best roamers in my opinion because of their superior 1v1 and nice to have on kylo treb)
5. Engineer(Nice point defence pretty good 1v1)
6. Elementalist(Nice support builds and some nice CC)
7. Ranger(Nice proff but others do it better)
8. Necromancer(Cant see any reason to ever bring any. Sure their conditions are nice and epidemic is great aoe and so on.. but comon..;P)

I’ve played and elementalist since release and recently switched to a ranger… But I felt underpowered and went back to my ele..;P

My guess: Thief>Warrior>Mesmer>Guardian>Ranger>Necromancer>Elementalist>Engineer

Unless they’re building and programming a robot to do the blog post it’s takeing to long.
