Guild Wars 2

lets leave these “meters” to the mmos that have crappy customization and are macro fests:wow, ff14, everything else that requires little actual effort in a real combat scenario.

problem is actually with the raid, ive failed with mallis @gorsy and all i saw was ff14 raid design, nothing more, the gw2 aspects were ripped from and it should be handed over to more gw2 oriented dev hands

the little experience i had with gorsy… is a sad one, its too lacking in dynamic battle mechanics, and straight up pattern, a sad 1-2-3 pattern.

or before going in a pug, ask everyone’s toughness, then healing, and finally utility, because more often then not, someones bringing solo utility instead of party utility.

example:A DH has purification, yes its the best heal(raw), but it doesnt save someone else when the time arises, on the other hand receive the light is awesome even if not a healer.

vamp aura baby>:D

best tip i have:farm fractals, stock up on agony res then sell in bulk on tp, then maybe the 10+ will be cheaper down the road:)

Since shields are almost useless, i have to ask why would you use a shield for both hands? what kind of autoattack could you do with a shield? Throwing it Captain America style? That’d just look stupid in gw2.

current CA style is already in play with engi: Throw Shield

and he used a gun in that one raid on Red Skulls outpost, somewhere over there, now if males got spandex then we’d probably see more Cap clones runnin around

If leap had a 20,000 yard radius.
I want to fly across the map like superman Goku.

i say hulk, wanting to jump like superman means 35k height jumps and being turned to shredded cheese by an asura commando turbine(they have drop ships in tyria when messing with those quantum doodads asurans screw up experiments with)

All classes feel sexy except for that one I hate…

engi, ele, necro, ranger look just like mine, still wish i coiuld turn off engi kit backpacks

Rhyse.8179:

This sounds like fun.

my mesmer looks like her:D

they should get swords, the greatsword is summoned as needed

all classes:katana, scythe, orbs, marionette/puppet, knuckles, sword for ele, gunblade, whip, snakesword, floating sword(not like guardian, like blade n soul class)

oh and epic necro bump:P

If you’re starting PvE then I’d recommend starting with the greatsword. It has a better animations than the sword, skill 1 has a free evade, 3 is a more useful leap than on the sword, 4 is a good block with a riposte+interrupt (better than an extra evade), and 5 is a useful daze/interrupt. I’d say this is a medium skill weapon. If you’re medium skilled you’ll get full use from the blocks, leap, and interrupt. If you’re high skilled you can manage without the utility on the greatsword and if you’re low skilled you won’t find the utility on the greatsword.

sword 1 is the only animation thats not like the rest(my favorite animation besides warrior GS renzokuken) and wondering why thief doesnt have it as well, yes sword 2 is an odd backdash to a leap, but its a tactical skill, same as 3, though 3 is intended as a dodge+poison, but combined with dagger 4 you get 3 dodge skills, good timing required for full effectiveness, and against bosses you whip out the horn and call out some birds>:D

Im sorry but theres simply no love for this weapon. Every other GS weapon for other classes are awesome, many people use the GS as their main like guardian, war or mes. They all have powerful skills. We have swoop and maul as our best and they really arent that spectacular. Id much rather spawn some dude thats gonna fight for me and do INSANE damage, Id much rather do 100b that hits for 3 times the dmg of maul, and Id much rather spin around in huge AOE immbolizing my enemies. but no, I have to land mauls, mauls that take a good about of time to hit the ground and give me vuln. Nice vuln there hmm what do I follow that up with? Oh some weak gs 1 chain? Some weak swoop? Some non-existant dmg super short-range hilt bash? I guess ill stop for a second before I throw my sword at them. When I switch to gs they chain all the moves in 4 seconds and then for the next 6 I am are slowly swinging around doing pitful 400 dmgs and lucky to get some evades in while my opponent is enjoying the nice breeze I am providing.

1) You dont have to stop to throw your sword. They changed that last patch
2) GS has an evade every 3 hits, a knockback, 2 interrupts, and a block.
3) Provides opening strike to your pet. You can say OMG PET AI SUCKS, really, thats on you. You have the traits to increase its speed, abilities to do the same, and a plethora of abilities to slow enemies down to provide your pet the support it needs. You can control it as well.
4) “I use all the moves in 4 seconds” Youre doing it wrong. #5 is a counter, as is #4. You need to utilize them well with your endurance, lightning reflex timers to optimize this. in those 4s, youre never dodging or using other skills? Do you just lay your face across 12345 and hope for the best? This class is about finesse and timing. I can direct you to the warrior forums, if youd rather do that.

this is why i love ranger GS, its skill set is better than warrior and pala-, i mean guardian, IMO of course.

a redo of the weapon skill tab with selectable skills would be better… alot better, and more weapons per profession.

we don’t need quick menu like utlity, simply a tab that lists per weapon a slew of skills, with limitations, ex:mesmer gets 1 phantasm within 5 skills(any weapon setup, main and MH/OH), 1 illusion, 1-2 channels/blocks(scepter/sword 2 block skills is rare), and the auto 1

and it would be preferable to run off a proficiency like system to learn them, no bonuses besides more learned skills(would be bad if we got ff11 or borderlands prof system-_-)

Pennies? Pennies is the games initial cost. Microtransactions are where the real money is made. I work full time, I like to enjoy my game of choice. I bought $50 in my first two weeks of playing. If I enjoyed the game, I would probably put $50 a paycheck in. If I leave the game, they are missing out on potentially $1,200 a year from me, and the same from others who share my PoV. Sure, 3 million games sold, and 400K active players is good, but wouldn’t Anet prefer 11 million users like their competition? GW2 did a lot right, I’m not trying to ruin your game. But it is missing something at 80.

There needs to be rewards for people who want to put in extra effort. If GW2’s theory applied to real life, it would be like the doctor getting paid the same as the bum. They both graduated highschool, so they stay on an even playing field. Does that make sense?

its called legendaries for post 80 if your that interested, then there’s the other skins as well-_-, note:people sell legendaries so theres the farm for coin method, or the level a specific craft to make your own

purdy~, me wants now!!!

now if only they would enable all weapons on all classes:P

The Problem with opinions is, if they aren’t constructive in any way, they are worthless

Actually, my opinion is constructive, as I am a potential paying customer. I am giving clear reasons why I’m disappointed in a companies product.

Once you paid for the game that was all that was expected of you, claiming that you would fork over some pennies so that anet would go against the games design and fans who love/like this “always end game” mmo, its like saying the opposite in the blizzard/wow forums from one of us who love this game but want to play as pandas:facepalm:

WoW and/or rift are that away —?

as well as being close minded about every game should be like wow:facepalm: you can play rift:facepalm:(i fell for their 3 souls BS as well)

Anyway i’d like to see the “assassin” class, thief is not an assassin it’s just a thief

….What?

“thieves” have pretty ugly animations for alot of attacks, i.e. pistol whip looks like crap for the so called assassin class of the game, even mesmer uses animations better

home instance wardrobe(personal tailor npc) instead of anytime anywhere , so much easier to add said function without messing with other stuff

that would be awkward, as everyday everyone is getting a legendary with only login effort -_-

i also want to quick change looks whenever i want, like DCUO’s style tab but with color change.

I’m sure many would be willing to buy the feature for 800 gems(account bound hopefully)

signets:spite or locust as needed
wells:suffering or darkness
minions:bone/shadow fiend

mix and match any:)

id say stick with the fleshy, hes a beast, a minions build is not bad, with/without traits, just dont use the build in dungeons as all can be 1 shot(?)

i personally have made a new build that can use any of the 3 elites, focused on wells, axe, and condi swap(scepter), however dagger main is dmg king for us(pure dmg with life siphon and bind)

build:
30 spite, 10 death, 30 blood

both main hands have sigil of fire(aoe burst dmg), focus on power/prec, minor in everything else, if preferred you can have an offhand sigil stack(power/prec/condi/healing) to offset any weakness you want to counter
