Yea but to people that don't koow any better, it seems indistinguishable. A thief could have been hiding since it flipped. There are many cases where it's happened and people assumed it was hacking or they just didn't scout. Though of course this gets mixed in with actual abuse.

Well ngl, with Anet's balancing decisions, sometimes unless you keep on top of the game, all kinds of things seem like cheating. Then sometimes there are bugs that just literally break the game. I was discussing with a friend that knows thief and I was like are those thief portal shennigans legit, and then confirmed that Anet indeed, did intend for that to be possible. Anyhow memes aside, keep making those videos. I'm always interested in wvw videos that don't attack my ears so it's a good way to find out about music for background use.

I mean i stand corrected about the stats. That's somewhat commendable. But like, the fact that most here see a pretty decent fight and in fact would have appreciated if you posted it with 0 context. You here though consider that player so beneath you that the fact that they presented a threat at all to be so offensive that you can't even fathom them pressing 2 skills in rapid succession that it does suggest there is something very wrong with the state of small scale combat and expectations. And what it does show is regardless of your stat spread, it would seem like you aren't required to pay attention to other players. If you've ever observed any large group of friendlies, for example, you'd notice a lot of their warclaws glitching out especially since the expansion. It's a pretty common occurrence and for you to accuse them of cheating because of that is strange to say the least. So sure I guess I can give you the credit for running power, but I think it really does reflect a state of the game most exemplified by cele/condi style builds, suppose caught an outlier here. But hey, at least I don't assume it's because of foul play. 🤣 If anything this thread also shows us why people don't fight or give content, because your general attitude towards them is a little hostile at best. Even if you posted something like "I'm not sure what they're doing is legit, can you explain?" would be a little better than coming out with the accusations.

See, this thread is proof of why we're nerfing Cele/condi bunkers.

All this because the tower and keep contractors couldn't be bothered to make a door properly. Must have made a killing off borderlands construction.

Steve should only chase orange swords and change his name to "fight Steve"

I've tried a lot of stuff but it's rather difficult because you always have some exploitable weakness no matter what you do. But you've already noted that. It's very hard to defend vs burst because the heal mantra heals for nothing and not taking it is also a problem because the entire spec is built around it. Taking radiance/zeal means you have no sustain as well. In general, I find the best source of sustain to be Valor but not Monk's focus but rather Alturistic healing, since it pretty much causes every action to heal yourself. The most interesting thing is that it procs per stack of boon, eg 5 stacks of might heals 5 times and you will notice even such a pitiful heal is better than the mantra alrady. The other traits are not very good, though the passive condi clear is nice and random protection as well (though not so much as with upcoming cele nerfs) The other combo which honestly think I think it's mandatory to do anything on fb is going to be Quickfire ---> Permeating Wrath. I've tried like all comes of damage traits and nothing really comes close in consistency. You just burn someone every 3 hits and that makes your gearing choices much more flexible.... at the cost of trait flexibility. Stoic Demeano sounds good on paper but I assure you it doesn't work. Glacial Heart is kinda intresting too only because Absolute Resolution is very mediocre on FB but either choice is fine. And unscathed contender won't be much dmg on a Cele build but it is again, consistent. As for weapons, you can use almost anything as long as it's easy to hit the enemy but typical choices include axe, pistol, sword. (I never got spear to work on FB), but at least one set should contain OH sword because you have no mobility and because it's the most efficient guardian weapon. I like to run speed relic/advance for more mobility but with oh sword I don't see that as needed. Twin Generals relic (might/weakness on heal skill) is somewhat interesting too. Overall, it lacks the damage to kill some builds and some really fast ones are generally not worth chasing. But for the most part it usually stalemates those things so it's not too awful though I think small scale/roaming is really tedious either way these days (vs people that know what they're doing) At least it kills randoms that think you're on the way to the zerg.

That's why we need to make a guild called {CELE] Not Cele you're just bad. If someone celebrates a 20v5 I can't imagine them being anything decent. Next time you see them bring some sticky glue and chain immobs (yes I know the first 30 attacks will miss) and stategic use of shield 5, and you and company may lock them down so you may properly reply. Personally I found elixir gun auto spamming weakness seems to work well on them unless they're an actual degenerate running Ventari too. Weakness reduces their endurance and immob prevents that from dodging. Failing all of that, get some willbender friends though I suppose this is like throwing trains at other trains to stop a trainwreck. That being said, the Cele version of that is even more annoying (I play it myself) so maybe that's their frame of reference?

I feel like the problem is you are confounding "I don't think people should wear this" with "No! Stop wearing that!" or "Nobody should be able to wear that as the same things". One is an opinion, and the others is imposing your beliefs on someone. It's like how some people are vegans and find eating meat disgusting, and people shouln't eat meat. That's perfectly fine for them to think that. But if they come up to me while I'm eating a burger and tell me that I'm disgusting, then frankly I'm going to order a second one, because at that point I could care less about their feelings. It's extremely arbitrary. But it's also caused by the result of one's actions that your feelings have been reduced in priority by others. And honestly, are we going to live life walking on eggshells, on the off chance it may offend someone across the world?

Can you show me a single meta build in this game, or maybe even any functional build that uses full soldiers? Or even one you'd tell someone to use in open world pve? That's probably why it's not getting nerfed or even noticed. It is more indication that it is underpowered. And they didn't even nerf toughness or vitality on Cele, so not even sure what you're on about nerfing defensive stats. None of the stats you mentioned, TB, Soldiers, or knights have any concentration at all. Ironically, the all stats nerf you suggested would actually nerf more defensive stats. so short story short, that's not what the goal was.

Someone that can chase/CC and another that can burst. Not, someone that can run away, and another person that just yolos in and dies. Many fail to make that distinction.

A lot of this is because there was no one to curate their feedback, and they don't want to spend the resources. The other problem is that some have their ear, and as corporate talk goes, it goes in soundbytes, not essays. Now there did for a little bit, like 2016-2017 after the HoT release mess and it turned out to be one of the more memorable eras of the game. Not to toot my own horn, but that was when I was one of those people filtering uhh... I mean refining the feedback. Now I cannot say I saved WvW. But what I can say is I prevented some people from destroying it, and to put it bluntly, the game got worse when I wasn't there to filter them. Maybe you guys don't remember, but there were definitely some that were pushing for systems that were like alliances but were more biased in favor of those boonballers you guys love so much-- of course it was their agenda and poorly thought out as always. Well, back then you actually needed a good understanding of the game to run a zerg, which is why they spent the next decade trying to undermine it.

Yes, but as humans we tend to prefer listening to those that learn to moderate said involuntary functions and channeling them to higher ones. Those that don't, are generally considered childish, and tend to get treated as such.

Blissful adjective adjective: blissful extremely happy; full of joy. Opposite miserable To understand it, you'll have to not be miserable some of the time. One advice would be to save misery for important things, and generally that does not include fictional underpants

Well obviously you put down smoke bomb and rocket boots/rifle/blast through it. That's nowhere near perma anything but maybe jumping into a smoke field multiple times will cause people to confuse you for a thief and leave. Given how knowledgeable the average OP is on game mechanics, it has a decent chance of working.
