Guild Wars 2

Cygnus.6903:

I think warriors should be able to make clones that can stealth themselves and their pets, use their skills fueled by initiative after which they can be shattered, after which you change attunement and rince repeat with your secondary weapon set.

No seriously bro, classes need to be different.

This is not enough. I think it will be better if warrior can summon eight swords like the one guardian has to assist in our battle and if possible, each sword can do AoE Slash to any enemies within 4,000 range with 9,999 damage.

emikochan.8504:

None of the sigils stack, and ones with cooldowns will trigger for both (so you can only ever get one)

So it’s usually a good idea to have one passive and one cooldown sigil.

U’re obviously not answering his question. Read twice.

I did not mention it is trash, I said that currently it is inferior.
It is true that all weapons are supposed to be used in some ways, which is exactly why I carry almost a whole 20 slot bag full of weaponry.
However off-hand sword is just too disappointing. You can’t even decide whether it is condition damage or direct damage; it is a hybrid of both which is no good(mixing up condition damage and direct damage is a waste of potential). What else? It is single target; last button is a single-attack block which is hardly going to hit and is not rewarding even if it does.
You see amazing AOE stun on mace, amazing AOE damage ability on axe(okay not so amazing but if you use it in combo field with some omnompies, it’s a star of the show),
amazing swiftness and slow removal on warhorn as well as AOE vigor with AOE weakness; shield also shows off with quick dash interrupt and amazing block ability.
Sword just pales. If anything, it does more damage on single-target. But thereagain, in such situation shield wins. and in other situation it’s also shield; or mace, or axe. I’ve played warrior for a decent time, I believe I know what I talk about.

Well said, i’m thankful as u spend some time to explain so much. And yet, back to the question. I’m just comparing dual wielded 1-hand swords with greatsword. And there is one point i don’t really agree with – u say hybrid condition dmg & direct dmg is a waste. However, with the current build i’m using, the condition dmg seems to help me to get more kills in pvp until i’m able to get top kills in pvp / tournament everytime (not most of the time). And if u’re still disagree with me, just think that i’ve no idea how to use an axe / mace in practical fight.

Lastly, let me clarify this. i’m only curious about the performance of greatsword & dual wielded 1 hand swords in wvw due to range factor. And to be specific, i’m now confuse to choose greatsword’s whirlwind or sword’s savage leap while hundred blade is only used for stopping enemy to ress one another.

Evalia.7103:

The moment you are out of combat, you are free to swap weapons.
It is wise to use melee weapons(assuming that 2 blades means 2 swords, you better throw off-hand sword in trash bin and equip shield; sword’s is a half-condition orientied weapon that is unfortunately not so strong now for dealing damage. I’m using it for it’s utility of chasing down and stopping enemies, to hack them with GS later.) in open field.
I barely equip ranged weapon in open field; exception would be holding a point( like protecting camp) and sometimes zerg-on-zerg open field battles(then i usually go with dual melee anyway).
However longbow is the awesomeness for protecting walled structures from multiple enemies, and rifle is just as awesome when enemy force is small.

Thanks for the suggestion and yet i don’t think there are any skills / weapons are served as trash in the game. It merely just one doesn’t show enough understanding to use it. I’ve a different traits and combat style from the other warriors perhaps that’s why i need bow & sword/gs to be equipped. Still, u’ve inspired me in some ways, thanks.

Desolation world PvE is very active.

Noted. Thanks!

I’m right now a dual wielded blade warrior. I’ve no problem like soloing a champion/boss (1v1) with 2 blades. Yet, sometimes i feel my attack range is kinda small. So if i were to play wvw, 2 blades or greatsword is better? Any thoughts?

Just to clarify, i’m comparing 2 blades & greatsword only. It has nothing to do with other weapons. The reason i don’t equip both and swap is because i need a range weapon to swap with – bow and i’m pretty satisfy with the result. You’re free to comment about the DPS, Mobility or any other factors that will affect the performance.

Best to find an active dungeon running guild. It’s hard to tell which server has the most pve and which has the most pvp.

Thanks for the suggestion and yet this may not be the answer i’m seeking for. as u see, now anet has an upcoming system called “guesting” and it will charge me for transferring from world to world. Therefore, i should make this quick and this is definitely not a right moment to find an active guild first before moving to the right server.

This is the correct answer though. Find a guild that you enjoy playing with, that plays at the times when you play, and switch to whatever server they are on.

First of all, i’ve not denied he said the right stuff. In addition to that, searching for an active guild in this particular moment may not be really a wise choice compared to joining the right server as “guesting” will be implemented before long. Furthermore, it will be much easier for anyone to search for active guild in an active server. Hence, i require and prefer some other answers regarding which server is very active, not the other way around.

Hmm.. once again thanks for the response. Yet, i’m still seeking for more opinions to ensure i’d made a wise choice and to add on, active in dungeons doesn’t mean just fractals. If anyone is going to give suggest of which server is better in dungeons raiding, make sure it’s not just FOTM. Thank you in advance!

I’m on Maguuma, and have played on Kaineng.
Kaineng is far mor active in PvE than Maguuma, which is almost desolate.
Both are active in Fractals, WvW, and PvP, but Maguuma’s dungeon crawlers have faded.

Thanks for answering, noted. Might hope for more suggestions from different people before i make my last choice.

personally i think ele will be the fastest due to the fact that ele can spam different elemental skills to do burst dmg quickly.

Hi all. its just a random question here, hoping that someone can answer me.
Which server has the most active population for dungeons? cause recently i’d switched from an Europe (medium population server) to an US (very high population server) and i found that even less people in the server!

PVE zone.. very hard to see people running around for event
PVP zone.. very limited choices of room
Dungeon.. only certain time people will look for group

The major contributing factor is i’d switched server for 3 times and each switch has 7 days limitation. i hope i can get to hear some opinions before i perform my next server switching.
