Guild Wars 2

Rip… Taken down for copyright…

Don’t they establish a cheek weld on their kneel? Warriors hip fire their rifles too I don’t see anything wrong with it. Unless you’re in a stationary position you aren’t exactly going to be accurate with a flintlock style rifle if you use the iron sights. And for skins like the Predator you obviously wouldn’t look through the scope…

Behellagh.1468:

Ah … yeah … you do know this patch includes the playable area for PoF right?

Like the entire maps? Can we get in them?

Anyone else sitting here waiting for the update to download? I’ve been waiting for 2.5 hrs and just got past “playable” which isn’t even playable because the map doesn’t load. Is this just me or is this update just stupidly large?

Cool and all but what’s the point of tanking wvw?

Rezzet.3614:

what Anet did is what i call a Hypocrite Nerf

Scrapper sustain is considered too broken

yet Ele,Druid,Revenant,Warriors,Mesmer,Necro have just as much sustain group support ,debuff , and superior damage and Those are considered Balanced?

Thx for reminding us thieves how trash we are… Luv u

Wow gj op u predicted the future.

Well back before hot you could tp to anywhere within range pretty much. This allowed thieves to do this glitch where they could teleport over the wall of sm. There were also other various glitches that allowed thief to get to places where it shouldn’t be. Ofc anet being anet they made these stupid obstruction errors so that you couldn’t do this anymore. So now we can’t tp across rivers or if there’s a blade of grass in the way it gives an obstructed error. Also it made projectile based tp’s not work the same as norm tps. Now ante ofc can’t FIX the issue. That’s unheard of. Anet ACTUALLY fixing something rather than taking a shortcut. So, this is what we get…

Or maybe change back infultrator’s arrow back to how it used to be rather than this bulls*** “No valid path” crap. You can’t even teleport across a river without that error popping up. Or at the end of the ab chest farm if ur standing on the round platform in the middle u can’t infultrator’s arrow to the big chest. Its ridiculous honestly. It makes the reason for taking shortbow over p/p for range completely useless since you can’t teleport ANYWHERE anymore…

M8 it’s LEGENDARY armour… The BEST armour in the game. It should be the equivilant to getting a legendary weapon. Please don’t make this like fractals where a net said that it’d be super hard content and then just turn it into a grind. It takes away from the status of legendary armour if everyone has it. Its supposed to take time and effort. Its not like the legendary armour is gonna give you stats either. Its just a skin and the ability to change the stats. Not like you NEED to get it.

Hey guys,
I would really love a “Firebringer” sword skin. I know it’s a lot to ask for but it would make my revenant look super cool. Thanks!

If I had let’s say diamond rank during the previous season, but never entered pvp during season 2, would i keep my diamond badge on my name or would I be reset back down to amber/nothing?

Is this a troll?

Tieu.4180:

I’m interested.

Okay. I’ll send you an invite when I get home.

LucianDK.8615:

Shield isnt terribly good for a tank, due to shield 5 rooting you in place. A tank will need frequent movement.

But herald have fine access to protection through Facet of Chaos, and Facet of Light is a good uh oh heal. Plus with the herald traitline you can spec double stability on dodge.

Well like during phase 1 in vg if you get low on hp you can shield 5 and itd hold the boss still in the corner as well as prot you for the healer to get some heals down.

Frostfang.5109:

• Dolyak (like those found in Verdant Brink)

A pack Dolyak with an F2 skill providing 5 supplies to everyone in 300 range would certainly make us a bit more appreciated in wvw.

Lol thatd b super op in wvw and absolutely useless in pvp/pve XD

Burst before the revenant does. You have the advantage of stealth, so get in close and get your backstabs/cc off. The fights will always be quick amongst two burst classes.

mexay.3902:

I disagree about your ventari changes.

Please don’t quote the whole page-long post… :/

Yannir.4132:

@Meld If you trait Valor instead of DH, you lose the traps, which kinda defeats the point of this entire build concept, doesnt it? Please elaborate instead of just asking vague questions.

It wasnt really a vague question… Valor naturally has more healing than DH, llowing for higher heals/survivability…

I’d prefer to see mounts rather than sprinting if we are going to add mobility since mounts look BA and they are another thing that we could collect. It’d also make the mobility of classes more uniform (which is good and bad). they could give like 40% movement speed to not make the world feel small. Im sure anet wont implement that though…

Title says it all

I really don’t think they are wasting time with things like this… they are more concerned with the new tyria gliding and balancing classes rather than a few pixels of color…

4. Counter attack your foe (interrupt) and strike them, dazing them. If no counter is performed, gain 10 energy

Altair.8402:

You can go mallyx and bunnyhop with your #9 skill.

Lol this isn’t counter-strike

The only problem that I see is that there are other classes that out-damage this build tenfold. Why would I want to use this when I can run condi engi? Also, you aren’t getting too much condi damage out of this as only a few skills have decent condi damage. I guess it is okay in terms of the revenant’s condition damage options, but I just don’t see why it would be used.

Maugetarr.6823:

The skill is actually already pretty good.

However, Bandit’s Defense needs to channel for 2 seconds and have a rollover knockdown available for 5 seconds if it successfully blocks something.

Fist Flurry/Palmstrike need to have their order reversed. Have the Palmstrike stun and deal its current damage, and put the Pulmonary Impact on the final strike of Fist Flurry. In that way it would be like a Pistol whip without the evade and root but with a longer stun on a CD.

I don’t think you understand how daredevil works… it’s not a brawler class that recklessly throws attacks, the attacks are based on martial arts. No martial artist is going to throw a palm hand before a fist flurry.

I mean… warrior is also boring as he’ll if you’re gonna go down that route… warrior is just 100b on cd, berserk mode on cd, and whirlwind on cd…

Wrong section m8. Please contact support@guildwars2.net for assistance

Hahahaha! This is great /laugh

Yeah this happens to me as well

m8 go staff/sb… amazing build but has a pretty high skill cap.

Oh boy! Backstab spam! Yeah no.

I know that there’s millions of threads like this, but I still can’t decide. I have 675 days and currently have a thief, warrior, and guard. I want a class that is versatile, mobile, high skill cap, and able to do well in all three areas (pvp, wvw, and pve) please help! I feel like my lack of selection is preventing me from progressing any further…

That is literally the exact same as what we have right now… transparency wouldn’t add anything except for aesthetic appeal…

m8… l2p… backstab can go as high as 12k (1 shotting most classes), stealth=escapes for dayz, blinds to never have a warrior hit you, shadowstep when stunned down, and shortbow/staff/dagger for insane mobility… learn to play thief before ranting on the forums

Headshot is not a hard cc because you could just spam it and obliterate the bar. Also, basilisk venom SHOULD be a cc since it stuns and theres no abusable features… I think its probably either a bug or anet just doesnt like venomshare

Do the revs get deleted that are made in beta weekend or do they carry over through the weekends and until hot?

About face while running,again s, withdraw, while flying flick back around or use about face again. With practice you can get it fluent with running so it just looks like you front flip foward and keep running.

I am hoping for:

- Shadow clones as a utility NOT ELITE
- Reflect projectiles with a nice staff kungkittenmaneuvering skill. grants retalialiation or something.
- a spear #3 style block and retaliate attack or a knockback.
- Auto-Attack with Daze. I don’t see a staff that causes bleeding or poison… very op tho.
- a gap closer. HeartSeeker type.

a way to go stealth… but i don’t see that with stealth. that would be too perfect.

i know this is a christmas list but i have faith, ANET WON T DO US LIKE THAT.

edit: to really differentiate from Mesmer, I would want the Shadow Clones to only do 1 attack. It appears makes one move and vanishes, leaving a blind condition or something.

Maybe for the daze aa it could be in a chain like daggers. It would take like 2.5 seconds to cast. It’d make people not just spam a line of 1 attack (heartseeker) then sit in aa since people would have to cast a spell to prevent the 2.5s cast time, and when you need it you’d let the chain go off. Might be hard to implement but idk.

Yeah I don’t want to be completely OP. I agree with the chain, just a dagger AA with lotus strike inflicting poison at the end. Except it’s just daze.

The daze should also be like 1/4s so that it’s just a quick interrupt. A 3 second daze be or whatever would be op af

arenta.2953:

points at the legendary rifle
its a sniper for a reason….

and the weapons are called rifles. not shotguns

Man, it’s like saying that all pistols should be clown guns or that Quip should be a tactical USP-45. It’s the legendary weapon’s flavor for pete’s sake. At this point you’re just trying to drown that fish.

A legendary usp-s would be pretty cool for thief… just saying.

Honestly anet doesn’t give a crap about third anymore… Its been needed to he’ll and completely non-viable. Switching to warrior since it’s anet’s baby… never gonna get nerfed and will always be the strongest class… so sad that I can’t play the sneaky stabby class anymore that I’ve loved throughout every game.

Dex.6139:

The Thief Rifle Association will not stand for this! I WON’T believe it. It’s rifle you hear me?. Rifle Rifle Rifle rifleafuusaeubathi -foams at the mouth- /denial.

I don’t get why people want rifle thief so much. Goes completely against the stealthy feel of the thief. The rifle is a huge gun that requires accurate and long cast time shots. Staff would most likely be used as melee similar to a monk’s bo staff. Sword off hand is also relatively stealthy since it fits the Asian hack and slash leap out and spin in circles flailing swords thing. Rifle, however, has never been seen as a martial arts weapon or an assassination item. In real life, single shot rifles (which I assume are used in gw2 since they all have a flintlock design even though there is no reload) design have been used by militia for front line troops. An assassin in a time period like in gw2 would not use a rifle… too big, clunky, loud, and non-stealthy. The assassins nowadays use them as sniper rifles and use silencers, which are only on the legendary. Plz #norifles

So… what’s best for wvw? S/p seems like the most damage if you can get the pistol whips off.

LTREEVEY.2348:

My first thoughts were in form of traits, creating a clone(s) on weapon swap and one on stealth.

On weapon swap: Gain stealth and leave behind shadow/clone that retains old weapon and auto attacks on until destroyed

On stealth: Create a shadow clone for every second you are in stealth. Shadow clones cause blind,torment, or confusion when hit.

Wouldn’t mind seeing an on dodge/evade similar to mesmer.

Just ideas. No numbers

Hope you were joking when u said every second. 14 shadow clones on shadow refuge literally all of eb would be filled with clones xD

I’m also considering switching to warrior since thief sucks at everything now. PvP survivability went down the toilet, and in wvw the only thing to do is roam unless you want to run the boring support builds. Really hate how thief is the most useless class now, especially since now I have to change legendaries mid way through crafting. I will have to change the gift (luckily I haven’t invested in a precursor yet).

Power p/p is pretty good for pve bosses, but absolutely useless for ads. Id see d/d p/p working or maybe sb p/p, but you’d need something that can hit multiple targets. Condi would also be good for bosses, but even more useless on ads.

Just found a new and challenging way to play gw2: first person camera and disable hotkey targeting. You aren’t allowed to click on an enemy either for targeting. Now you could either use a screen overlay (which I’d assume is allowed since it does not modify gw2 game play or use an expo and draw a little crosshair in the middle of your screen. (Don’t blame me if you break your monitor) Then you can play gw2 as you normally would. Its quite challenging with bows since you need to account for arrow drop. Rifles are fun too. Enjoy!

stof.9341:

It’s an elite, it wouldn’t be broken as hell really :o

Especially considering that with every patch, there’s more and more talents/traits to apply revealed on us, which would obviously override the elite here since the effect is that we do not get revealed for damaging stuff, not that we don’t ever get revealed.

But it might be too soon for that. In a year or two once everyone has it’s two “reveal thief” talents it’ll be the right time for such an elite.

Erm… what? Wouldn’t be broken? You could get 32 backstabs off in those 8 seconds. 18k x 32 = A broken amount of dmg.
