[I hope WvW is not a selling point for this game.]

@Xenesis.6389has the right of it.

 

there are 6 classes that have specializations that are welcome in zergs.  Three that, well, aren’t really.  When you look at metabattle, make sure you are looking at the play style you want.  Cen outlined the main ones.  Each subsection of play style in WvW has classes that perform better.  
 

For one small example, few guilds will run thieves or rangers in their zergs, but both tend to be above average for roaming and havocking.  
 

And lastly, GW 2 has never really shown well in video.  It’s also why there are very few streamers.  
 

You kinda have to experience it in WvW to either really get it, or don’t.  
 

Welcome btw.

 

Honestly its probably 8/9 classes now that have a good spec for zergs, I've been seeing support spectres and eles aren't ever that bad in zergs

You are on TC and worried that you cannot get credit for the necessary steps?

 

OK.

Pretty hard to get credit when Maguuma is literally triple TC's kdr and kills them on respawn 😛

On a similar note, willbender is the only good viable way to roam,not op in anyway since all previous mentioned classes have same burst or better with boon strips more cc and same mobility plus stealth, DH can be easily targeted and killed when focused with very litle ways to escape, firebrand is healbot only and boon giver and core guardian is nowhere to be seen, completly deleted due to nerf in weapons like focus 5 for burst damage and mace 3, and even hammer2 even traited. Almost 0 mobility to run away or means to survive outnumbered fights.

 

This is not for discussion it is as it is.

willbender is the most overpowered spec of them all lol

[Either sell Warclaws or bloody DELETE them.]

I got my warclaw on my alt a few weeks ago. It was pretty easy. I just followed a blob tag and build templated between a cele harbinger when I was running towards the group and scourge when I was actually on the group.

[Are you for or against pin sniping and why?]

I will only pinsnipe certain commanders and blobs. If I play against guild groups of 15-30 I generally won't do it. Doubly so if they aren't a boonball.

Tbh I've seen less and less of them lately in favor of the willbender instead. Even the "good" roaming guilds (ie well known gankers) dont seem to run them much, but granted maybe all the harbingers just hide under rocks when I run around in WvW.

harbinger gets hard countered by scrapper which most small mans will run

[Why use Skyscale if I have the Raptor and Springer?]

Lol i'm going to transfer to your server on my alt and grief you

[Why do you die in battle? Difficulty or...]

I can't remember the last time I died in open world where I wasn't afk. And I only run around on pve raid dps builds

having the outnumbered buff should remove downstate from your opponents

On another note, Roaming is dead now that Cele Harbs and Virtuosos are a thing. Basically can't do anything about them in a 1v1 situation. At the moment the current match up for my server is BG and JQ. Roaming is camp flippers that port, or Cele Harbs basically running unchallenged. Feelsbadman.

cele harb can't win against deadeye you just get kited all day with SA

 

not sure about virtuoso haven't ran into many of those

[Buff the outnumbered Buff and Siege]

Apply a buff where if you have outmanned any enemy you down dies instantly (no downstate)

[Anet Fix that Condi kitten]

Dude DMG was nerfed across the board in FEB Patch. And now the whole game is infested with low  brain condi shitass which is boring as kittening hell. Whole groups who vomit their condis and insta kill and are tanky as kitten at the same time. What is that meant to be? Condi Wars 2 who can fart the condis faster & more?

Unless you mean small roaming groups I find it extremely hard to believe condis are what's killing you in large coordinated groups. Scrapper does exist, after all.

[SoS is the only FULL server]

I have no idea how BG is full, half the time it feels like there’s 10 people on a map, with half of them afk and the other having no situational awareness and dying instantly. And if there is a commander, a lot of the times they are too scared or too slow. 
 

idk, I’ve only been back for a month or so and maybe everyone is doing other things but it sure is disheartening and makes me rethink about staying on BG. 
 

sorry, just needed to vent somewhere. 

there's no point in playing for bg, most of their groups just get farmed by the mag cloud on repeat and the ones that don't get farmed can't kill the cloud they're so afraid of pushing and wiping that they just pull whatever they can get and kill those guys while the cloud picks off the same amount of players from their tail. they go to a bl and try to fight ioj and the cloud just shows up and assjams them sometimes it's really a no-win no fun situation

 

oh yeah and also mag has like 2 guilds that actually play so it's not like you can fight anything but the cloud 90% of the time, and chances are the cloud is around the guild anyway lmfao

[WvW zerg busting is dead]

Rez utility is also a big part of the problem smaller groups have to use their bomb to generate downs but then there's no damage to actually finish them before they get rezzed for free from range 

[I feel excluded from EoD because Soo Won meta event is too hard]

Well, the numbers are out now. Over 60% of current meta attempts succeed. No more excuses.

isn't southsun survival battle royale lol

[Bring back tournaments.]

There were so many problems with the tournaments.  I was on FA for the first WvW tournament and I remember tanking as hard as we could to get out of gold league and I think we sent mag up there and they just got ppt'd in the rear for like 2 months straight. Then in the second tournament I was on Gandara, and there were like 100 man queues on the BLs and a 300 man queue on EB. I used to get home in the middle of primetime so there was no way I was going to play wvw for the duration of that tournament lol. In fact here's an old screenshot of how the queues were when I got home: https://i.imgur.com/do1GYTM.jpg. I think this was also the tournament where BG got double teamed for 2 months straight against TC and JQ. I'm sure they really had fun. I remember seeing them tick ZERO during primetime. Every fight they had probably got AJ'd too. I was on SoS for the final WvW tournament but I didn't really play WvW during that time so I don't remember anything about it.

I dont think there is a program for banning them actually xD.

We are reporting the same bot for 8 Years now and he is still around. If the problem is really this dramatic as you make it sound like, maybe a ingamemoderator will manually come and ban them.

Saying which server you are and which servers you are facing atm might help.

It's probably NA T1 and the most obvious culprit.

I only stream because it's a convenient way to save vods without using hard drive space

[I feel excluded from EoD because Soo Won meta event is too hard]

Another clear. That makes 15 successes, 1 loss since the 15th patch. I'm not sure how the majority of people keep failing. I have the log and vod from the latest clear if anyone wants to see it.
