  1. had a "very interesting and interactive" fight yesterday with a WSR group. We were both 50 (or close to it), 2 groups clashed and stood still for a solid 3-min with minimal movement to either left or right. We only timed the bomb/strip and spam boons/healing, the one that stacks less or move/scatter a bit first lose the fight.... And even with only 2 groups fighting, I have never had this kind of skill lag before, might be because of the amount of chaos aura and boon spam, each party has 3 supports nowadays. I hate this meta so much as it: - introduces a weird way of playing, instead of moving and coordinating strike/strip, it's all about who spam the most boon/healing at the right time. I kinda like the time when scrappers were in the meta, at least there were more moving and less lagging 😞 - makes it really lagging due to the amount of boons the server needs to calculate - gives almost 0 chance for cloud to break a voice/organized group given that the cloud has more number. This was possible before but now it's extremely difficult. I was in a voice group fighting inside FoW keep (one of the best cloud fighting style servers in EU btw), and we were massively outnumbered but we managed to hang on for more than 30 mins and farmed them inside their keep until we eventually were overwhelming due to their reinforcement.
  2. PPT people when linked with RoF: OH YEAH! PPK people when linked with RoF: Oh no... Depending on what type of WvW player you are, both are valid reaction 🙂
  3. In the context of having FoW and WSR in the same tier, they won't meet this match up was what I meant, my wording should have been clearer 🤷‍♂️
  4. https://gw2mists.com/matches/eu WSR should probably be in the same tier as FoW, they are born for each other 🤣 But too bad we are experimenting/suffering the 4-week linking now
  5. I am actually doing this 😄 as much as I love WvW this match up is no fun at all, and FoW is a toxic bunch as well, I think I got jumped on several times yesterday....
  6. This is getting ridiculous: https://imgur.com/a/OM8R5bF For the context, this is not the first time I am against FoW, but this is the first time it's getting this much imbalanced. I was in RoS and Blacktide before and fighting FoW was not that bad, it's a bit annoying at best. But right now it's down right unplayable because every time I see FoW, it's 1 vs 3....
  7. FoW got a link? That server is already over stacked..... everywhere I go, I see FoW now. https://imgur.com/a/ODwvjPD EU prime time....
  8. I have been in a server that was constantly losing fights left and right, and I never felt discouraged to continue playing because the fights were at least fun, it was mostly 30 against 30 and sometimes 30 against 50 but at least we had a fighting chance. Try facing 3 guild groups, 15-20 each, with your 20 random pugs and see how it goes 😄 As a side note, I'm not blaming green or blue, I am stating a fact that they are more stacked than our team (red). And I'm blaming ANET directly and explicitly for doing a bad job at balancing a game mode that they are actively working on (according to their agenda)
  9. https://i.imgur.com/LkIzvPF.png I'm speechless... peak hours.... red and blue have 0 blobs, green has 2 blobs (25-30 each) and a bunch of roamers on 3 maps taking everything =)) If this is not ANET balance at its best, I don't know what is. It's super annoying playing out number everywhere. All the organized groups/guilds for some magically reasons are all in green leaving red and blue with next to nothing
  10. Most probably throw some dice.... in EU this week, Moogooloo is a big stacked server, more people, better coverage while Phoenix Dawn has like 2,3 active guilds, and a bunch of pugs, no clues how we got match with Moogooloo and Grenth, both have a lot of guilds and organized groups 😐 I haven't seen anything this imbalance in a while
  11. I have not played Ele yet so I don't know if it actually is true or not. Yesterday we were defending our keep and at the end we managed to fend off the enemy group. There was this one Ele that was trying to run away, and I chased them (it was 1 v 1 at the time), then 4 more jumped on the chase, guess what? It took 6 people in total and solid 30s to down the ele, it was ridiculous, a bunch of defensive skills, and healing and whatnot... I might roll an Ele to see how it goes 😄
  12. This must be sarcasm 1. Using this in a big zerg fight is equal suicide 2. Main selling point of Scrapper in WvW is not it's healing output, it's converting conditions to boons and superspeed and stealth (which has been nerfed to the ground). If we are talking about pure healing / cleanse output, Tempest and Druid are way better 3. Well.... sustainability wise, there are better specs than Scapper, for example Celestial Spellbreaker which also offers insane boonstrip + CC 4. For the spec itself? Maybe, for allies, doubt, Scourge is much better at this 5. Group wide Stability... big doubt, the only Stability skill scrapper has is Defense Field. I don't think Scrapper has anything that can reflect stuff
  13. You want to know what is bad? A kitten 300s internal CD trait https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Defy_Pain_(warrior_trait)= I'd rather they make it so that Lesser Endure Pain takes 50% less damage (instead of no damage) and lower the CD, or heck, even lower the duration is 100% better than having this weird 300s CD. It makes absolutely no sense
  14. Yeah, I think Guardian should be the only true support in the game, and no other specs should even come close to it /s
  15. I don't think this works in WvW as well... I hope it's just a bug and not some kind of nerf 😕 this is a minor trait we are talking about here, not like we can choose a different one
  16. Funny enough there is this thread that calls to nerf scrapper in the one game mode (more like 1 part of the whole game mode) that it is relevant I love my scrapper but at this point, it's not really relevant in PvE anymore. I exclusively use it in WvW and in some rare occasions when all the blue guys are not around, as quickness provider
  17. Honest question, have you played heal mech in fractal? I do regularly for the past 2 weeks (main Engineer for past few months), you just can't press 1 only to give barrier, you need to use Elixir Gun's 5 to pop health generation, and also Mace 2 to add more health generation. Also F3 and the Barrier Signet to have barrier when you switch to Medkit to heal. And I still can't get over the lack of having self heal skill, like Anet completely forgot that Medkit puts your self heal skill to the tool belt which is now gone And on top of that F2 to have aegis/stab on some cases. I don't think you will get far with just pressing 1 in fractals, let's say 98,99,100, maybe you can, but I absolutely can't. In LFG in EU, I rarely see healmech, hfb is pretty much everywhere
  18. Can I at least have a bigger gyro? 😢
  19. yes and no, most duelists have their usual spots to duel (the center of blue and green borderland maps), and when a big group pass by, we don't attack each other. You will recognize those spots once you have played long enough. Roamers on the other hand, attack anyone they get their hands on whether that person wants to fight or not, they are usually free game, feel free to jump on them, your allies will often thank you for that. But again, if you see 2 people fighting outside the usual duelist spots, and there are people watching, then you should watch as well. To me personally there is a distinct difference between roamers and duelists, one being that duelists are more fun to play with, they just want to have fun 1v1 fight, roamers are just annoying specifically those that attack us when we are having organized group fight... like what are you trying to achieving shooting at a 25-man blob with 5 scrappers constantly healing... tagging? or roaming with 5 people and gank people by having more people, and those (from the other color not the one we are fighting) that try to pick up tail as we rush to defend our stuff are the worst
  20. Bit of advice, when you see 2 people fighting, don't interfere unless they run to you for help. When you see 2 guilds are fighting, don't interfere, don't kitten clouding around trying to pick up kills here and there... that's not nice, so basically try to read the situation and decide whether to interfere or not. When you see 2v1, definitely join, they definitely can't win 3v1. Jokes aside, WvW has various mini-games that people like to play, you need to know those and don't ruin other people's fun. It's not elitism or anything, just respect and etiquette
  21. I only play GW2 for a brief few months but I can see that Guardian gets all the love from Anet 😆 I have seen Guardian meta in pretty much all the content that I regularly play Fractals, Strikes, WvW (Zerg mostly), and I know it's highly valued in Raid as well And now mechanist is slowly taking over some roles and people start to whine, that's weird to say the least, like diversity is bad or something
  22. I honestly can't see how is that (simple rotation with good enough DPS) a problem? You can deal damage for sure but you still have to learn the mechanics of each encounter and dozen of other things to be able to do end game content. And with easier rotation, that would drive more casual users to end game content, isn't that a good thing for a game in the long term? With easy rotation, you can pay more attention to the mechanics and learn them, then if you want to, you can push for even higher damage with harder rotation, and because you know the mechanics, it's one less thing to worry about, win-win here 😄 I am kinda bored when seeing everywhere Guardian this, Guardian that, and am glad that Mech can compete for the support slot now
  23. Hi, I am planning to do some solo roaming and I really want to share participation with my wife. She is so busy with many stuff and doesn't have much time to play WvW (she likes the game mode btw). The main reason is that we are trying to make the WvW legendary armor, and I don't want to leave her behind. Do I need to buy a commander tag in order to do that? Because when I create a normal squad (no tag), the share participation shows "0/0" Thanks
