There should be couple builds that can instantly kill enemies, because then other builds can kill enemies from 70%. WvW would be quite boring game if it was just AoE bombing for mouthbreathing commander rather than single target focusing. I would suggest to single target focus yourself as well.... Or tank it up. Celestial is recommended for new players. Edited June 27 by Riba.3271 3 1 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo.6295 Posted June 26 Author Share Posted June 26 So I'm to assume you are one of those specs? Is that what you are doing? Insta-gibbing people to save us from boredom? Give me a break. 2 3 8 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gop.8713 Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 I'd agree that one-shots are lame play and it would be great if "balance" meant that even the most leveraged, sellout, risk-it-all-on-my-first-shot build still allowed some counterplay, but that ship has long since sailed. There are just far too many specs now to hope for any legitimate gameplay balance, and it's also worth noting that anet has not shown any particular interest in balancing for smallscale in wvw . . . So short answer, if you want to avoid getting one-shot, you need a more defensive set . . . 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So short answer, if you want to avoid getting one-shot, you need a more defensive set . . . I don't need perfect balance. Some classes and talents are gonna outshine others, I'm perfectly aware of that. I'm talking about the ones that take you from 100-0 instantly. Those need to go because they simply have no place in a game like WvW. You get hit by AOE, you get chain-stunned. Fine. There are ways to avoid some of that at least. Even in let's say more balanced gear. Then comes along the one-shot man and it's all over. How do you justify that as a developer? 2 1 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because history and experience has shown that these complaints are usually based around player mistakes, bad builds, lack of knowledge what the opposing class can do. The amount of "insta gib" builds which work against proper setup builds is miniscule at best, especially in an era where most players run celestial. If you want help (and probably the ridicule that goes with exposing lack of skill/knowledge) then you have to ask the correct question and provide the necessary information. If you just want to vent, that's fine too but won't really improve your game experience. Edited June 27 by Cyninja.2954 8 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW2 playerbase in a nutshell: -"Lol you noob! You should only run celestial if you don't want to die to my leet gameplay stealth oneshot, which is awesome and showcase my superior skill level" -"Lol you noob!

I am saying the result of getting "insta gibbed" is a product of lack of player skill. Suggesting celestial gear was me just nudging that player in a direction. That fact will not change even if celestial got removed because it's based in this games active combat sytsem which essentially rewards correct actions and reatcions. Go be angry somewhere else. 8 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even the world champion would be able to perform any "correct" action if he plays some normal class like say a core warrior and I play some oneshot stealth BS, stealthing from 1 mile away then macro jump on the target...so all this "lack of player skill" talk is nonsense. I am 100% certain the OP not talking about getting "insta gibbed" by some lone core FA ele or axe warrior...we all know he's talking about some stealth BS Edited June 27 by Arheundel.6451 5 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If removing Cele meant players would learn their skills and their class better, thus leading to more interesting fights, I would 100% do it. But the fact is that it's hard to get to the point where you are even adequately good, and most people, who are playing Cele now, would 100% just perma leave - and that would kill off small scale WvW-ing for good @_@ lose-lose Edited June 27 by Codename T.2847 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is not glass cannon gameplay...the problem is glass cannon gameplay in 2024, it's just some stealth "run away and come back" BS that make people annoyed and frustrated, there is nothing skilled or interesting about it...and definitely you don't need celestial to survive it but that doesn't justify it and neither should people like the OP be laughed at for complaining about it 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. Again, player skill/knowledge issue. You won't be able to fix this with balance because if you do decide to balance the game around those garbage builds, it breaks at the mid and top end. The only thing can can do is help players overcome their garbage builds as well as lack of knowledge in regards to class skills. Just as I said. 10 minutes ago, Arheundel.6451 said: You can replicate cele stats with other gear combinations and anybody can do it, at worst you will lose 20% condi dmg, some few points of toughness and precision or vitality/boon duration/condi duration but that's it really.

All stealth builds can be countered or avoided though, especially if they are running glass cannon stats. Now as far as surviving against a non meme stealth able build on not glass cannon stats? That would likely not be an "insta gib". Edited June 27 by Cyninja.2954 3 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkpile.7439 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Better get insta-gibbed than fight agaisnt some celestial lamer who stay full hp whole time. At least you can win against insta-gib build. Actually better if thief insta-gib you than do this atttack, stealth, attack, stealth kitten because he is just too bad to use berserker gear. 6 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
