    The new Axe projectile mechanics in a nutshell: 

     

    The sound effect gets annoying though

    For real tho? A/P 3 follows enemies in stealth, goes through walls (!), snipes enemies from walls in wvw, and has a range which is anything but 900 - no matter if you count from the character or the axes on ground.

    So where do I get macros so that I too can blast people with 4 skills in less then a second?

    It's pretty easy to script them yourself. On the other hand I think the experience of playing Fresh Air Ele or Power Mesmer and their respective elites ain't worth the risk of getting caught lmao

    Was in ranked just now and get this:

    Interesting thing is the two side by side screenshots are literally seconds from each other--the person's name changes, and it appears they are in a duo with themselves based on the original similar sounding names (left) and the changed one (right).  

    I know, anet most likely won't investigate it but just found it interesting.  

    Investigate now!!! >:(((( Not surprising ANet doesn't have the resources for more severe issues if ppl submit tickets for things like switching toons lol. 2k posts since 2k18 btw

  4. Well, Scourge & FB have terrorized the meta for years and looking back it has been horrible. But I disagree that we are even close to this level of effectiveness, stupidity and cheese. Supports like Tempest aren't as busted as before and Scourge took a decent hit as well. While it's definetely a good and effective approach to duo as Scourge and Tempest it is not that hard to deal with them.

    Perfect balance is a oxymoron nature is balanced without humans if only because it has built in systems that keep it that way 

    Wolves eat deer to prevent deer from overpopulating and there are other systems we probably don't understand to keep wolves

    Ranger keep necros under check thieves keep mesmers under check etc etc.A balanced system is where counters exist to prevent one from class/build taking over.

    Wolves eat deer bc they're hungry mah dud

    thats easy.  

    For the love of god play Weaver for 5 minutes.    And then play Condizerker for 5 minutes.  After that come back and tell me that those are performing even roughly on the same level.

    There is so many builds/ archetypes that have fallen completly out of the meta and disappeared after heavyhanded nerfs.

     

    Things that have fallen completly out of the meta/viability:

    Renegade and to a degree also Herald

    Firebrand

    Ele Core weapons and sword

    Specter

    literally any necrobuild besides bunkerscourge... which is borderline good

    engie rifle

    mechanist

    Thief sword

    There is a bajillion things i could mention here....  but anet has ZERO motivation to do anything about it.  There is so much room to create interesting new builds, and all they need is a little bit of love to push them into viability again.... but nope....    PvP is a dead horse and its pretty obvious.

     

    lets continue:

    Things that are degen by design and could need a reevaluation if it should exist in the way it does right now:

    Bladesworn sustain

    Condizerker... just everything about it.

    SA Thief

    Stealth in general

    Virtuoso..

    Vindicator dodgeanimation is a MESS

    AoE spam on points is THE worst gameplay but its is THE gameplay right now...

    Akeem relic / relic of unseen invasion

    Scrappers being forced to run nades

    want me to continue?

     

    generally speaking:

    PvP  IS JUST NOT FUN RIGHT NOW...  it just isnt.    The current playernumbers heavy underline this statement.

    in EU, at the end of the season,  you have golds all the way up to top 235....  every season we are reaching a new "all time low", when it comes to playercount.

    They could do so much to make it fun... and people are hoping for so little every patch... but still get disappointed. So they quit.

    The ship is sinking and anet just released a patch that could very well be called    the "we care (in PvE only)- patch."

     

    but hey... atleast thief is good.. right?    i am abusing it for sure.   so count me in!   GREAT PATCH.

    I love how bad the memory of some you guys is. Obviously there are some overperforming builds and Core Ele is still trash but considering the variety and viability of different builds across all classes - was it ever better? Please remember how Ranked and ATs looked once PoF was released. There were like seven builds viable at a time (at best) and if you decided not to play a Holo, Herald, FB & Scourge duo, Condi Mirage or one of the fotm Sidenoders, your team instantly had a massive disadvantage. This continued (almost) until Anet released their big damage balance patch. The game is way more forgiving right now. 

    BTW I had a good chuckle while reading your list of unviable builds: Spectre (!), Sword/Dagger Thief, Reaper (!), Core Nectard, Renegade and Herald (!) LMAO May you explain what a viable build in your opinion is? 

     

    Nice bait, OP. I agree tho.

  7. Nectard and its specs were meta defining for how many years? Even through periods with the highest dmg up to date during late PoF? Scourge shined in team fights against double Herald, FB, and another Scourge but now its kit is underwhelming? Isn't Reaper a top tier build in Ranked atm? Blood Scourge isn't offering much to the team? BTW I'm pretty sure a Nectard with support is more valuable than two random dmg dealers rn. 

    Not that you're wrong regarding Necs lack of Blocks and Invulns - but you literally can have a second health bar and a defensive trait line that stacks toughness. If you think Nec lacks dmg when picking them - we can't have everything, right?

  8. Yeah that's a weird one. Although you lose stealth you sometimes get revealed if you hit your target split seconds after you went out of stealth. Nectard blocked your TS the first time but I don't know how lol. Tactical Strike went on CD. You lost stealth before the second hit could connect so you you hit him with your normal Auto. Then the bug which I described happend. Technically you didn't hit the Nectard with TS but still got revealed. 

  9. - any build that contributes to the visual cluster fkkk I experience in every match since PoF release

    - any build that is almost exclusively carried by passives 

    - Support Tempests bc of traits like Powerful Aura and Elemental Bastion 

    - Core Nectards with two health bars and a full stack of Death's Carapace 

    - never forget old PoF Mirage

    Hi everyone,

    I am a returning player (left when HoT came out...) with home world on Far Shiverpeak (EU server).  I am focused mainly on PvP and WvW.

    Now, I have a friend I would like to play with who is on another world in EU.  So I can't play WvW with him.

    The only solution I found is that both of us pay for a world transfer (both of us are on "Full" world right now, so we can't move to any of the two world).  I was looking for a world that is not "Full" and has a lot of activity in WvW.  I checked on https://wvwstats.com/eu and it seems that Ruins of Surmia is a "Very high" world (ok 1800 gems cost!) and with good stats in WvW.

    What would you say?  Any suggestion?  Any confirmation about Ruins of Surmia world?

    Thanks a lot!

    Tenofas

    If there is no other criteria than playing with your friend any of the higher populated worlds is fine. Surmia is a good choice and decent opponent. Keep in mind that if you join a Spanish, French or German speaking world the majority of the players will communicate in one of the respective languages.

    people just want anything nerfed... one wolf pack in wvw is perfectly fine. it's so easy to avoid for any class except maybe necro. When a ranger uses sic'em on you it's a dead giveaway of what is going to follow next. Hopefully anet does not give in to these baseless nerf requests.

    that's a very special take lol
