This is nothing. I remember when mailing people hard leather rope was a thing. I don't need to elaborate on the implication. Yes, the pvp community is toxic and even honorless most of the time. There isn't much that can be done about it aside trying your best to shrug it off.

I know ranger isn't in a good place in pvp atm but is there a solid build for ranger? I've been running between Core Valk and Condi Trapper and bounced from silver, to the top of gold almost into plat, and back down to the bottom of gold and risk deranking. I lost my temper again the other day after a massive losing streak. The game seems hellbent to make my experience as horrible as possible. There are games that are outright unwinnable and it's really hard to keep going in a competely hopeless situation. I can't even analyze why I lose half these games because I'm just immediately pounded into dust. If I kite at all, my team is dead in my place and I'm left playing chicken 1v3 until I am out of ways to run away. Please, if anyone can help me. I've swallowed my pride and put my past high rank seasons behind me. I accept that I suck compared to the people who have ascended that wall between being "okay" and "good". I just want to improve and play a class I like.

At launch, GW2 very famously "did away with trinity". End-game content was a melee DPS fest.
While they've since tried to reintroduce a bit of healer play, it's still very unlike other MMOs and I don't love it.
Putting aside druid, go to the wiki and look at:
Revenant Ventari legend + staff weapon
Elementalist water attunement + staff weapon
Necromancer scourge elite spec
Guardian + mace or staff weapon
Engineer medkit
I understand that there was no trinity at launch. I should have specified a bit better, I would be more then content to play a support that buffs the party or provides utility. As it stands, Guardian is kinda taking the lead in that regard though I am also interested in Chronomancer. Though honestly at this point it may be best to wait for the new especs to be revealed.

Hello, I am a returning player who has almost exclusively played PvP looking to get into PvE this time around playing Gw2. I am unsure what class to pick thanks to my time away and the wildly different game mode PvE is. I'd mostly like to play a support class or a caster of some kind. I'm very much used to healing having done so for fifteen years at this point. I'd like to avoid Ranger because it, and druid, was my main for ages. Thanks ahead of time and I look forward to cooperating with other players instead of trying to kill them!

Upsetting. I was personally hoping for Bard because I had an itch to play Support Mesmer. Well, there is bound to be one new support class out of the bunch. Guess I'll wait for that.

I know this is probably a waste of my time but I may as well throw kitten at the wall and see if it sticks. In guild wars 1, I mained a Ranger/Monk and adored the class. In HoT when Druid was announced I was ecstatic. It had combined my two favorite things, pet classes and healers. It was everything I wanted. However, patch after patch and patch it felt like Druid was nerfed again and again. The class suffering from major limitations that hampered it from performing it's designed role. To be Gw2's premiere healer, it somehow was less effective then Elementalist (Tempest). Druid was locked out of it's healing with very little compensation. However, I will get to that later. In base Gw2, Ranger was hated, rejected and tossed aside. It was so bad we were kicked from PuG parties as soon as people saw the paw icon. In HoT, Anet promised with Druid ranger would never suffer that fate again, that they would closely watch Druid to make sure it remains viable. In truth, they have made good on this promise, but this isn't due to Druid's healing so much as it's bounty of support. Let me get on to my three biggest grievances then in hopes this desperate cry against the tide is somehow heard. I am mostly a spvp player but I did dabble in raids and have manged to keep myself informed.
StaffBroken since it's inception, the Staff offers very little outside of CA generation. Skills 3 and 5 are good. However, the auto attack and staff four are my main issues. It could probably be fixed with some tweaking in all honestly, if the AA could be fixed to generate a bit more CA that would be phenomenal. 4 is just clunky to use.
CA GatingMy biggest issue with Druid. Mechanically, being locked out of your healing by Cooldowns and CA is a joke when Firebrand can just open a book and throw out stronger healing and support. Druid NEEDS compensation for the added mechanics. What do we gain from just being outright inferior to Firebrand?
Pet Stat ReductionWhy? This was honestly the final nail in the coffin in spvp where Druid was already a very weak pick. If Smokescale is still the issue please deal with that rather then nerf all of the pets and Druid. This is my biggest gripe because no other class has their main mechanic gutted. (besides Daredevil now that I think about it.) And like CA having so many gates, for what compensation? This negatively impacts nearly every game mode, from solo play to WvW. For example, Tempest not only gets Overloads to compensate for the longer cooldowns but these greatly compliment it's kit and add more options for the Elementalist. Even with the old ranger traits in vanilla I took many pet traits in skirmishing and "took care" of my pet because I found success when we worked as a team. I was able to beat Rangers who neglected" their pets in favor of personal power consistently. That Druid takes this hefty 20% stat reduction on pets with no compensation is outrageous.
Well, that's it for my rant. I'll probably check back at some point, please don't be offended if I don't respond to you. I have autism and it was hard enough to get my thoughts into a readable format here. Chances are I will have read it at the very least. I hope my fellow Rangers, Druids and Soulbeasts have a wonderful day! Don't forget to feed your pet!
-
Okay cool. Now make Druid playable.
-
Been out for awhile because Anet kept hammering Druid again and again. Are pets still at half stats as Druid? Because that REALLY needs to go if it is. Any sort of viability (almost none) it had in spvp was taken away with that nerf. You cannot nerf a class's main mechanic... at that point just get rid of the pet.

@"Arkantos.7460" said:sounds like "i cant win with my yolo build anymore" meh pvp
This was inevitable. In fact, it happens to any game that goes from insane oneshot power creep to a more balanced and varied meta. I have yet to see the changes myself but from a glance at the forums it's 50/50. So I assume it's the nuke classes that are complaining the most.
-
They are actually features that people DEMONSTRATED to want ingame.
Your misreading, my reply was in response to OP. Just because PerfectPay2win charges for respecs and the like, doesn't mean we should suffer this kind of monetization on a BASIC QOL FEATURE. Sure, it's not p2w, but it's some kitten and incredibly underhanded.
-
Because some Korean goobley gloop company is pay 2 win doesn't excuse any other company to do it. In the golden age, you paid a bit of in game currency to respec and unlock skill tree slots. The people playing Gw2 right now have stuck by Anet in their time of need. This is the equivalent of sticking a knife into the wound of their hemorrhaging playerbase. I can smell NCsoft's hand in this a mile away...

@Flandre.2870 said:Terrible change that will cause this gamemode to have no stability in teamcomps anymore. Guess they just want pure RNG just like their precious bl chests :)
Nonsense. There will still be four Holos in every match. That's stability! Pulsing stability at that!
-
imo, Holosmith didn't get hit hard enough.
-
This spec is killing pvp for me. It isn't fun to fight at all. You can outplay a holo all day and they won't be punished for even the slightest misstep. So much sustain AND the ability to reset the fight? Forgive me, Mesmer gods. Little did I know you were the lesser evil.
-
For anyone who played Rift, this is very reminiscent of Cruica. I highly doubt Jormag is trustworthy but with a voice like that s/he can icebrood me any day.
-
Ended on the cusp of silver with something dumb like 4-6. Crawled my way to the bottom of plat 1 and I'd be happy to just chill there at this point.

I love cheese, my favorite cheese flavors are pepper jack and firebrand. My least favorite is Brie and Holosmith.

But so would Aurene against Balthazar on her own. right?
Balthazar was the Elder Dragon we needed but don't deserve.

Why are they focusing on the "toxicity" and not addressing the actual fair criticism or praise for the event by answering the questionsBecause people are acting up. It's basically turned into poo flinging on both ends at this point. But lets be real for a second, we're coming off a huge layoff people thought we were getting an xpac? It's not an excuse for the way this was all handled however... A little bit of communication beforehand to nip things in the bud and let people know "Hey, it's JUST going to be LS5 like we said. No xpac." Would have quelled all this before it even turned into a zoo.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go act like an ape in pvp. Monkey see, monkey fling poo. Ook ook.
-
Could Vlast be a better candidate than Aurene?No he lost.

@Knighthonor.4061 said:I am confused. What this have to do with GW2? Somebody explain
Elder Dragons, especially Bubbles, share many characteristics of Elder Gods from the work of H.P. Lovecraft. Generally being super powerful forces that are above mortal comprehension. The fear of the unknown and feeling inconsequential to the grand scheme of things was the primary focus of much of his work. However, I'd argue this fits Abbadon far more. By the way, fhtagn.

Please don't nerf my revanewt friends.. once you get past the the burst damage most of them are actually pretty nice people! For real though... Rev isn't OP compared to some of the other specs right now.

@"Ralkuth.1456" said:There’s a PvP Discord and you can ask for help there instead of on the forums; the forums has its bright spots but it’s mostly a cesspool of resentment and barely disguised entitlement.
If that’s what you’re after, of course.
Anything to improve. At this point I am considering paying people...
New pets I'd like to see. (Please add onto this, lets give em a list.) [Merged]

I have been begging for Karka since Karka were added to the game. It started as a meme, but the more I looked into crab, I discovered forbidden knowledge: Carcinisation, the truth of our universe. All will return to crab. All will be crab. For crab is the true eternal alchemy.
