Being 30% behind top classes is essentially playing GW2 on a harder difficulty where every boss has 30% more HP and has 30% higher chance of using mechanics and wiping you.
So no, playing reaper is not "fine".
-
Yes, you have to game the system to actually progress unless you're a god. Your rank will always be 1-2 divisions below where you actually are skill wise if you just spam queue.
The rank system and matchmaking system is really bad.
-
It's pretty silly how you can RP as Legolasz but not Gandalf because anet deemed staff ele not allowed in any game mode.
-
Mirage cloak needs to go if mesmers want this class to ever improve.
-
Agreed, staff being nerfed was when they killed this class.Then focus nerf.Then focus nerf AGAIN due to a SUPPORT build without touching said SUPPORT build AT ALL.Then mist form nerf, again, due to a support build, while ignoring the support build.
There's very blatant bias against this class and it needs to stop.
-
It's low because the devs want you to play weaver to deal damage as ele. trading all sustain and survival for damage.
Meanwhile holosmith does more damage while having insane survival, stealth. super speed, and insane self healing :)
-
Just got out of an unranked match where I had I had top kills from winning against a mesmer 1v1 once, then killing him 3vs1(he was the 3) afterwards.
These are completely unacceptable matches and I'd rather sit in a 2 hour queue than play them. -
Reposting because i think this is a much better stance to take in game design for GW2
Support(aka "Healer") Zero damage, cannot kill anyone and only survive. High team healing, high self healing but low survivability.
- Firebrand
- Tempest
- Scourge
- Druid
- Ventari base Revenant
Team fighter(aka "DPS") Squishy, no self healing, cannot 1vX, cannot 1v1 any duelist, highest dps and burst
- Chronomancer
- Berserker
- Deadeye
Siege(aka "Caster") Long range damage, plenty of CC, plenty of aoe CC, medium self healing and ok survivability, cannot 1v1 anything
- Base Elementalist(Staff)
- Base Necro
- Base Mesmer(Staff & Scepter)
- Base Engineer
- Renegade
Duelist/1v1er(Aka "Bruiser") ~33% Less DPS and burst than team fighter, but medium self healing. Wins 1v1 against everything except another duelist.
- Staff/Staff Daredevil
- Spellbreaker
- Base ranger
- DPS Meditations Base Guardian(Great Sword&Sword)
- Sword Weaver
Bunker(aka "Tank") Zero damage, high damage reduction but low sustain, high CC but melee range.
- Base Warrior
- Bunker Base Guardian(Mace&Hammer)
- Scrapper
- Malyx Herald
Roamer(aka "Scout") High mobility, high disengage, cannot 1v1, low sustain, very low survivability, low DPS but medium burst.
- Holosmith
- Mirage
- Dragon Hunter
- Daredevil(Dagger+ SB or Sword + SB)
- Soulbeast
- Scepter Weaver
Every team would want a roamer, a support, and at least 1 team fighter. Duelist and bunker are interchangable, siege and team fighter are interchangable.
Specs/classes would be redesigned to fit the above templates.
If you cannot even give every class and spec a defined role, you cannot balance the game. You end up with stuff like holosmith that do literally everything S tier.
-
Deadeye is a good team fighter and 1v1er and I don't see why you wouldn't be able to get top 250 with it.
-
This is a very good idea.
-
Herald should lose boons entirely and it should be a renegade thing. Not sure why a pure DPS spec has infinite boons via herald, it's really dumb and why the class is so overpowered in PvP and trash in PvE.

So why it is bad if does more burst damage? Which by the way can be easily negated by blocks, evades, projectile deflect.It destroys build diversity and is brainless + 0 fun to fight. It existing at all holds the game back.

The start was very good nut now tank builds everywhere .

But the "20k dps vs. a daredevil" thing pretty much tells you all you need to know about this particular case.ofc, even holo wont dish out 20k dps in pvp, with quickness at best maybe 8k.Im just salty cuz bronze necro could facetank my glass canon mesmer for 1minute by standing still and passively gaining shroud lolNecro is essentially playing a turn based version of GW2.

realy makes you think
Can't hold a node vs anyone with a brain and loses any even fights against same people. same reason you don't mass scout units in an RTS.

Old version was better, this new version ruins the entire skill. I used to be able to aoe weakness, use it on downed bodies, poison bolts, etc. Now it's only good for the daze which is unfun for the person fighting it, and it's unfun to use as a weapon because it's a vastly inferior skill with such a high init cost lowering the skill cap of this weapon greatly.
Revert to old version, thanks.

I agree with your 2nd thing, it's why I have a huge thread about my thief changes suggestions and there are numerous changes to adding condi removal/transfer to multiple weapon sets because I feel that condi cleanse is too important and you're hard locked into certain weapon/util choices to have them.
An example is: Shadowstep is condi removal(3), stun break, AND a teleport. This ability is so bloated, so I removed the stun break off it and put it on caltrops, a skill that's useless in every game mode, while adding condi removal or additional condi removal to a some weapon sets (D/D and Sword) to open up options.
Things are the way they are because you need x amount of stun breaks and x amount of condi removal or you're a sitting duck, but all that happens is you're hard locked into those weapons and utils just to survive and it destroys build diversity.

@"Shiyo.3578" said:I don't care if little Jimmy wants to play an interactive movie turret engineer build and is mad he can't win as it, that doesn't belong in the game for the sake of "Diversity!".I am talking about build diversity not balance. As I have stated already there is always need for balance but killing build diversity got nothing to do with balance. Yes I agree with you that something like turret engi doesn't make much for a fun build to play against but we need something for core engi to play with at least, that's build diversity and the devs are killing it. They're nerfing to balance ok...but they leave stuff untouched for years which is not right,they promised bigger build diversity than GW1 given the reduced the number of skills...but right now we have exactly the oppositeI didn't play GW1 but bad balance is why build diversity is so low. As someone said in another thread, if your build can't instantly remove 3+ condis it's unviable as condi thief will instantly kill you and remove you from the match making it 4vs5.
If your build is condi but can't remove resistance, it's unviable due to condi rev, is another example.
Balance matters for diversity. It matters a lot, actually.
-
Sindrenner(#1 thief in the world and MotA winner) still says condi thief is completely overpowered, brainless, and should be nerfed a ton more.
-
I don't care if little Jimmy wants to play an interactive movie turret engineer build and is mad he can't win as it, that doesn't belong in the game for the sake of "Diversity!".
The OPs mentality is actually the #1 reason this games pvp has always been in a bad state and why anet has constantly DELETED entire amulets sigils runes etc. Rules need to exist, too much creativity and options in builds is BAD.
-
I completely disagree 100%. I do not want to play a game where druid is top tier, or burn guardian is top tier, mirage is top tier, or turret eng is top tier, deadeye is top tier, minion necro, etc. These are completely unfun trash things to fight that no one wants to play against.
There are too many fundamentally flawed classes and builds in this game that do not belong in PvP.

@"Leonidrex.5649" said:this build is gate keeping many build from viability, when you create a build, first thing you have to ask yourself is " can I cleanse enough to not get 1shot from stealth by condi thief" if the answer is NO then you scrap the build. Other such bursts cant be dodged, anticipated, played around, LoS, or ran from. Not cthief.Its faster, its instant, its from stealth and its from long range ignoring LOS.I dont have a problem with Cthief for the sake of it, I dislike how little counterplay it has.
EXACTLY this. I assumed condi thief would be DELETED from existence in PvP and WvW because of how much it dictates the meta. Condi thief currently restricts and holds back so many builds from being PLAYABLE that it's stupid.
The reason you don't see condi thief often anymore is because people are playing builds that hard counter condi thief which forces thief into d/p which is a much better all around build.
-
Giving d/d shadowshot basically because "The weapon set lacks mobility" just makes the weapon set the same as d/p.If you want to play dagger and have mobility - > d/pD/D's dual skill should be unique, which d/d is, it's just unique in a bad way.

@"DocFrost.7416" said:Maybe I'm doing something wrong given that I'm fairly new to this game but have a ton of experience with MMO's. My thief is my main and I can honestly say, I haven't had a moment yet where I felt "overpowered". If anything I'm wondering how people effectively play thieves when it seems like I get out DPS'd by Guardians and Ele's but somehow am able to be killed FAR easier than them, not to mention I add 0 group utility. So what's my purpose again?
We are very bad in instanced PvE. Zero group utility, not top dps, 11k hp.
-
No one wants to fight this. It's utterly brainless and the easiest build in any pvp game ever. It should go back to being useless.
All unranked ever is anymore
in Player vs. Player

Just played an unranked game where my ranger kept running through the enemy team to run to the middle node and lay drops or die mid running to the node. I told him don't do that, dying gives points. He did not stop.This is worse than playing with bots, bots at least immediately react to someone attacking them.These are legitmately unplayable matches.Please put me in a 2 hour queue over this trash, I'm going to end up doing the same thing I'd do in a 2 hour queue - alt tab and do something else while I wait.
