Guild Wars 2

My problem is more than a simple skill/mechanic advises, also I’m way above average as map awareness, and strategic movement.
I’m EU and only Sapphire so the real problem is that my teammates dies like flies most of the time.
Today I played games with the engineer (scrapper-power hammer build) but no matter where I tried to help they just lost horribly on the other CapPoint. 3 games in a row.
at the end game had Top heals to allies, top cleanse to allies, top boons to allies, this 3 tops are acceptable, but also top damage!!!!!
What apps are good for video_caps. Fraps not the best option for me, the game itself became laggy I don’t know why. I also want some replays so I can study my mistakes.

Sincerely,this season I’m so frustrated about pvp that I’m inclined to leave guildwars altogether and never comeback.
So basically my winrate is about ~20% (in game history I have 1-3 wins).
Every game I have plenty of tops (like top assaulter, defender, kills, damage, boons to allies, heal to allies, etc). If there would have been a top with the least deaths I would take that most of the time, because I know to disengage and don’t charge solo vs 3 like a …
So after 100 games winning less than 20% there has to be some problems with me, I can’t have such a bad luck, and yet and I win more than half of the 1v1, so I have decent skills, I know there is a lot of room for improvement, but if my morale is so low I can’t help myself.
Once I had only one victory in my history, and that was 4v5 (we had DC).
Btw I’m stuck in sapphire. Last season I almost got to diamond but started pvp mid season and I was still learning, and season ended before I could got there

I didn’t call anybody of cheating. I sad I feel like I am cheated. Its entirely possible that is my incompetence, but as u sad its hard to burst 25k.
@Tao u don’t have to point out that I lack knowledge, I already sad that.
But, I’m not really want to talk about cheating.
I want to focus about the REPLAY SYSTEM. Is there any discussion about it, plans or anything

I really would like a replay, damage recap system in PvP because right now I cant learn and I feel like I’m heavily cheated.
Every 4-5th game I found somebody who insanely big burst or insanely resilient.
I give an example. I faced a guardian with an engineer with soldier runes so 25k life and >2k armor. First I was bombarding him with grenades because he was busy with another teammate then he switched attention to me teleporting to me (prob with Judge’s intervention, than Hammer Might Blow and Banish and I WAS DOWNED) There is a possibility there was another skill used but highly doubt it because all of this happened in under 1s. I didn’t had time to swap and activate my static shield.
So with insane damage I refer to players who can burst down 20k life with 2k armor with only 3 skills (not channeled ). or with insane resilience I refer to players who can withstand the fight with 3 players for about 30-40s barely being damaged (10-20%).
I’m not a BAD BAD player, in almost every game I got at least 3-4 tops at the end but I know I’m new at pvp, and want to learn and that’s why I need some replay system with pause and slowmo. The damage recap, I heard there was such thing in the game but why it isn’t now?
Sorry for double posting probably the replay system was disgust already, but I searched the forum with the “replay” keyword but zero result.

Ravnodaus.5130:

The burning isn’t working right in my XP. Whether it’s a hidden CD or just bugged as all hell, I just use a different spirit.

I also use stone spirit, but its the same thing. Its triggering right at the start when actually noone is hiting me and when I need it, almost never trigger.

Xiss.9307:

From my own experience with that spirit I would say that the burning effect have maybe a 10 sec cooldown, starting from the moment you apply it.

I dont think so. It happend a few times (very few) that I apllied burning before it expired.

I couldnt really figured out what that 20% means (and 15% from traits).
Is it per second or per hit? Because 20% does just doesnt seems to be true.
Most of the time when a battle begins the boons get triggered but after that most of the time probably not. Im playing with shortbow (good attack speed and a lots of hits), but most of the times I have to hit something more than 20times to trigger that ignite again, which doesnt happen because the mob is already dead. So in my calculation means its less than 5% per hit or less than 10% per sec, and I even put the +15% trait which should give me a 35% chance.
So how does it work?

Reseting your personal story has no difficulties, their are simple instances. If u can recall, anything happens, logout or even if u leave the area the mission resets.
But Im against it, totally, as Garen sad it just cheapens the game. ANet sad that they wanted people to coop, so find friends and tag alone with them in their story, why do u think they invented level cap.
And a YES for cosmetic changes.

Yeah I can definitely say Rangers is much better fit for rifle and pistols than greatsword, but also a ranger is more about nature.

In Options→Graphics put some kind of transparency glider for spell effects.

I would really love to see some kind of transparency glider for this effects.
In boss fights, especially when mages are around, u cant see s…t. Arkulin’s example pretty much says it all.
