Having fun in a video game? How dare them! Some players have disposable income. Don't get pouty over other people's hobbies lol

On that note, idk why we don't have like... 10 different mini season game modes. - Make an FFA oddball game with special rules when you have the ball. Slow AF, can't use stealth, skills cast will drop the ball, etc. - FFA King of the Hill with 5 mini conquest nodes on the map - King of the Hill, 1v1 Dueling mode in the style of AT. Queue up as you would amongst 9 other players, they 1v1 each other one after the other. - FootLocker, Everyone is DH Guard. You only have Banish. No other virtue or utility abilities. You're on a small platform and have to knock people off. etc etc.

[pvp] I'm going to be optimistic and say that with full damage modifiers spear will either be on par with, or straight up out-damage, Hammer and Greatsword. With the exception of Greatsword's spin-to-win + Judges Intervention port burst. Looking at just raw damage numbers from the stream, Spear#2: 1,371 Spear#3: 1142 + 1142 Spear#4: 1523 Spear#5 1142 The base value of these skills might be accurate from w/e power they are getting from w/e gear they are using. However, they are not using full damage modifiers. So I'm thinking for a more realistic damage value, these numbers may be closer to the multiplier of 2.7 with traits + ferocity gear. So SP#2 is 3,701 damage, SP#3 is 3,083 + 3,083, and SP#4 hitting the hardest at 4,112... roughly speaking.... My only confusion is how damage is done with SP#4. The number of impacts from Solar Storm (sweet name btw) is 5. While illuminated, it is 7. The impacts are pretty clustered together so the chances of a single target getting hit by a max of 3 times due to overlapping clusters looks pretty high, even without illumination. If one single hit is anywhere around 4k, then will we be seeing a damage potential nearing 12k? Even if the modifier isn't that high, the damage still looks pretty decent. Speaking from a selfish Willbender's point of view, I have some issues about illuminations. They don't look all that great outside of the cleanse on SP#4 but my goodness IF Solar Storm hits like a truck then it wont matter. (lowkey I wish guard spear in general was more complex, mechanically wise.)

Even that is a huge stretch. When I used pistols, pretty much religiously since their release and only recently swapped off of them, I for one have never engaged with a loaded up P5. It was fun knocking people off the cliff in the FFA areana, though. I think that was the best use for them 😅

There's no situation where charging Pistol#5 is beneficial, ever.

Lawd, please bless this person who does not know how to Warrior properly :*(...

As some one who never really WvW's... I've taken an interest in it. Especially after a few PvP buddies are wanting to start a guild just so we can WvW together. I feel the change has hurt more-so the bigger groups of casual players who found each other over the years, as oppose to the random Solo WvW player that queues seldomly.

I look forward to everyone and their mothers using spears on day 1. A couple weeks later, you'll see 3 or so classes still using spear because it's actually good, while everyone else asks for buffs on the forums. This is the way.

I've you've been destroyed by me recently and was wondered what build I was using..... eh.... I run a mix version of Dragon gear + Valk gear in WvW. Basically the exact same stats and playstyle as the sPvP version. By the way there isn't any build secrets in this game anymore... players who has mained a single class for a year or longer would already know what works and what doesn't.. even after a new amulet or relic is released.

... the only thing obnoxious is the amount of upvotes you got. If there were actual GOOD pvp players in this game then WB wouldn't be able to win a single 1v1 fight in WvW roaming lol. Even with Zakiros relic, we are still reliant on a support because our sustains within a fight are still very bad.

I'll carry your load!

But matches are easier of you queue with a friend who hops on his "girlfriend's" bronze 1 account 🫠

Guild Wars 3 Or GW2 Scepter Noise Changes Which one is happening first?

I'm going to assume you're talking about WvW alac Willbender here. I think a lot of the conversations on this thread just wants Alac WB to be better than what it currently is. In PvE open world it doesn't matter play w/e you like to play but when it comes to min/max in spvp (support wb doesnt exist in spvp) or wvw, I feel there's better options for the role. If it's a 10/15/25man blob doing wvw shenanigans, yeah I'll take what I can get but I can't call Alac WB BiS compared to supp mesmer/FB/Druid/etc.

I want the 25 Player observe cap to be removed in custom arenas and I want to be able to spectate any AT match I'd like, with obvious rules such as no map chats. I'm thinking the reason that hasnt been done yet is due to technical issues, though.

Don't you know who this prestigious man is? Dont let that... 16 hour old.. newly-made account fool you..! He has played throughout the years, reached the high Rank of Silver3, and has competed in the Monthy AT beaten people in The Pit by just afking and letting his pet do the work. He absolutely KNOWS the meta build because he himself is a meta man. The mmorpg community goes to him for insight. He makes meta blogs about MMO's that havent even been released yet. He is the most interesting nerd in the world 🍺

....why do people list their WoW credentials prior to sharing their wrong opinions in GW2 PvP? If you think damage needs to be turned down because you got melted by a Willbender player, then you're doing it wrong. I've mained WB since release... a bunker meta (literally what will happen if you increase time-to-kill) is not what we need. I think you just need to position yourself better or better yet, get off of Zerkers amulet if you can't survive a WB burst.

No clue what "illumination" even means so, idk how I can get hype on a weapon that I've only see SFX for. "spear is used best on the front lines, able to XYZ allies you pass through and XYZ enemies" That's a pretty bold statement and it's giving me staff warrior vibes. If I'm using Spear for the "front line" then it better give me some pretty good self-sustain utilities that helps me and my allies.

Whats funny is I always took it as, "heathens... why am I always saving you?" absorbs everyone's toxic conditions "Save yourselves instead!"

F2 is meant to evade and get away, but do try to land all your hits so that you can gain alacrity or healing... but also evade and get away with F2. I really dislike how Willbender Flames is just a worse version of symbols, damage wise and radius wise... but it's also one of the things we're reliant on landing just so our virtues can proc more. It always felt like a random SFX for me. Let me lay this very thin F2 line across, knowing the flames itself is not going to hit anything that moves out of the way.

I think you need to look into how you're dying to a class that isn't even the best in WvW. I roamed around in WvW farming silver players who are just trying to get camp rewards... took maybe 15 minutes for me to run into a G3/Plat player that's on a meta build. Trust me when I say that WB isn't the best 1v1 spec in WvW & sPvP. It just farms newbies.

Such a twerkback memory. I was talking to a friend last night about this lol. We eventually called it 1v1 King of the Hill. The loser had to leave the team, while everyone else who was waiting in lobby had to spam click their way into the map to 1v1 the winner. It eventually led to people making spam click macros to nearly guarantee a chance to get in the map.

Lmao I like this guy. Keep cooking fam.

I thought you were EU but you're NA. Spotted you in a game after hours (1:00am cst - 2am). If you were using that build on me then Plat+ players don't have anything to worry about. It might be a little mobile and a little bunkish, but it has no condi pressure.

Why? So my incredibly telegraphed F1 can be dodged? Or my F3 stability baited out because I'm trying to negate the DE's stun + high burst? DH is not even a hard counter dude lol. Silent Scope is a BS trait. Everyone hates it.
