bladesworm is insane broken and kitten to duel

Catalyst dumb broken not even need to explain that... Both condi and power versions overperforming as f. Specially the signet condi version now, its just immortal, constant boons 24/7, heal 24/7, building condis easily. If you are new player and just smash skills like an ape, you can win old players if your fingers are fast enough, doesnt matter if you dont know what your skills do. Bladesworm with the rework, the defensive build have 6 deflects, making it extremly tanky, plus de 2 heals (3 if you use elite), constant regeneration and an interrupt that can hit up to 8k on skill 3 blade. Elite that recharges you blade skills, adding a 7th aegis in case you need it asap. Basically, you just need to smash aegis skills (each skill 4 any stance), since they also deflect, charge bladesworm mode and smash that skill 2 that dashes through the whole arena. As duelist, its immortal. As team fighter, it also helps alot since you can smash shout or place a banner. Playing it myself, the only class that can beat it its ele, rest struggle incredibly to take it down solo. And aswell, super low skill cap. A monkey can play it.

plague of condi warriors core and zerk, condi reapers, harbringers bla bla bla very fun to fight against huh? imagine a game where you CC to do dmg, to bait stunbreaks and do combos, what a game right? nah better make meta smash condi everywhere you can see there is a problem when fresh new players grab condi reaper or harb and fight equal to someone who is in power but played 5 years the game

See? This Sinister guy is the perfect example of the toxicity and kitten of the arena. I was just chilling dueling people and he comes to just interrupt everyone just because. Then i farm him for a while on ele and he goes to his big brain thief main running in circles to pylons and just running away counter attacking. Aswell as taunting and trashtalking while i did not say a word. He just came to Arena to ruin other people fun. Hooray. And like that guy there is many. He just confirmed the problem i just exposed about the noobs and old players ruining others people fun

They are not good enough. To go to custom arena first you need friends or a community to play with. Yes, you can use the private arenas to duel, but to duel who? The ideal thing would be a public PvP zone, like the current gladiator arena, where you meet people and make friends. But reworked. You can't go to the custom arena if there is 0 people there. Makes no sense to wait there hoping someone joins to duel you. I have no doubt if they make the rework I mentioned, would be a success. It is based on another old MMORPG called Tera, where they have "Velika Outskirts", place to duel or fight people, quite big, 20 can duel or kill each other without annoying the other people.

The title says it all, the current gladiator arena or however you want to call it is just a mess, honestly. I know the idea is to have public watching the arena, but thats is never the case. Most of the people that goes there often, likes to just duel in peace, but that is constantly interrupted by noobs that just landed on Gw2, grabbed the first meta build they find and just interrupt everyones duels. To not talk about the lunathics that go there just to beef, or the eles that can insta respawn by using downed state skill 2 and special action to kill themselfs and respawn fast to gank land. In short, that arena really needs a rework. It's just a mess, and anyone with little common sense that goes there often knows it. I offer a solution for the rework: Make it way bigger. At least 4 times more than the current size. Add the option. to duel someone. When they are dueling they can't take damage from other people inside the arena, they can only interact with the other dueler. That way noobs can still attack everyone like hungry piranhas, the ""public"" for the arena still can watch everyone fight, you avoid ganking during duels, and old players can still farm new players like they seem to love. Absolutly everyone wins. And all the efford you devs have to do is copypaste the arena size x4 and add a duel option. It can't be that hard.

It literally kills the fun if you are playing power. Doesnt matter if WvW or PvP Ok man smash your 1111 with your bunker build with 10 stunbreaks and win. Clap clap skillz Just delete condi stats from pvp would make the game 1000 times more fun. Not because you had 10 stacks of condi from some 1111. They dont even CC they just smash skills and build condi. Fun! Harbringer, virtuoso, druid etc etc legit killing the fun of the game. To not even talk about celestial stats on WvW. It just makes the game boring imo.

Couldn't agree more with the title

So lets see, thiefs can: Jump in -> do dmg -> go invisible -> repeat. If you are running anything that does not have reveal, let's say willbender, do you even have a chance? Do not forget when they go invi, most times with their skill 5, they also blind you. What is the counterplay if you don't have reveal? You all fine with this?

Well, already 6 months into this game or maybe some more, so im going to share my experience on the PvP scene as a "new" player. First of all, I played other mmorpgs before gw2, all pvp wise, and never seen such toxicity from OLD players towards new ones. Basically, your first months, while you are a clueless noob, you will get flamed for everything. The rate aprox is for every 10 games, you will have at least 1 lunathic 3/10 times. Ye block him sure sure.. After a while, when you are not a complete noob and you know whats up, you decide to go to the PvP arena to try out some "duels" What you will find there is mostly a civil war, where no one respects the 1vs1, where basically fresh new players interrupt all the duels, and OLD players even more. I can understand the new players being that, just new players. But people who played 10 years and their only fun is interrupt people duels, and when you try to stand up to the bully, they will perma farm you, taunt, etc etc. So, as a "new" PvP player, what should i do? Conquest is terrible, a toxic kitten show where half of the matches are decided before game it even starts. PvP Arena same, even worst. You cant even learn a class without getting bullied the kitten out of you. And for anyone who thinks im wrong, go make a new character you dont have experience at all. Just do some conquest games and play the PvP arena for couple weeks. Im sure you will have a great experience in Gw2 😉 😉 In conclusion, from all mmorpgs I played, gw2 pvp community is the most toxic and the worst i ever seen by far from OLD players.
