Guild Wars 2

[Sandzibar]

on that note, anyone have any builds thought out? this is my WvWvW warrior build. i stack condition damage and just bleed people, while having lots of CC breakers, CC, and movement speed boosts (which break CC on their own as well through a discipline trait).

Heres what im looking to run as a support warrior.

3 heals on 20cd, all remove snares, 2 remove conditions. 2 also heal friends. All proc Regen. Sword and horn to gtfo. Banner for buffing - swap to signet for sPvP. Can keep fury up for a decent time either using the banner or sigil/shout combo.

Highish crit rate (almost always 63%) - procs bleeds and swiftness on crits.

Might be a bit squishy with only 1500tough and 21k HP.. but endure pain is clutch for 5sec invuln - could also swap for banner of discipline to crit chance/dmg buff your ele's doing their AOE thing..

Sit at back spamming rifle shots to bleed whilst healing buffing friends. Profit.

by sigil you mean shield ;3

not enough axes in your builds, Eviscerate is boss

your build is pretty similar to the one Moldran made a clip on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxRFStnQcWg

You should totally use Bad Karma [BK], and make sure you grab it as fast as possible.

I feel like there's a story behind this that I'm missing.

that's a sweet setup, and would be incredibly useful for wvwvw. the revive battle standard will be clutch as fuck!

Kiting support build. Axes have no place here.. melee wep set is for leaping away and horn speed buffs. Last place i want to be in WvW is the middle of the enemy zerg trying to hit people with axes.

Shield would work well for setting up a bleed stacking flurry sure (shield bash stun) but again not what this build is about.

Yeah I meant signet (as in signet of rage the other decent warrior elite, which is better for sPvP). Not sigil. Its late im tired.

i used the axe and loved it, but for wvw, i found i hardly ever used it because of the ranged nature of most of the fights. when i did get a chance to find someone randomly and fight someone straight up, they would definitely wreck people for sure. i wasn't even specced properly for them (condition damage), but they would just chop people up, especially with the fury boosts.

but i found it wasn't optimal for what i wanted to do, which is apply ranged condition damage, and fuck people up when we pull them by keeping them in our kill area. sword has a crazy immobilization burst skill that is too useful for this tactic. and lastly, the gap closer can be used as an escape, especially if you trait movement skills to remove stuns. coupled with the horn, you're pretty hard to lock down and kill with just weapon skills alone.

for sPVP, i bet the axe will reign supreme, especially once everyone figures out how to dodge the 100 blades.

Isn't Maguuma where Starfleet Dental is living as well? Could be highly entertaining or incredibly frustrating, depending on how many ways they can come up with to grief people.

Torrent of the whole soundtrack was up a while ago, just use your goggle-fu.

Was running hammer/rifle for WvW and sPvP:

http://www.gw2build.com/builds/simul...0.30.0.30.0.10

Exchange the last trait with the 20% sig cooldown one, the site won't let me put it there but was def. running it at that spot last weekend. You can fully precharge your adrenaline with sor/som if needed. Then F1 for a juicy 2s aoe stun. With the defy pain trait you got 10s dmg invul to kd/kb more stuff and/or gtfo.

[Space Panda]

lol ruri, where the hell are you getting all these gw2 "emotive pictures"! i'm gonna get dat soundtrack.

and that's a cool hammer build. i used the hammer briefly in the jump puzzle dungeon below the eternal battlegrounds. so brutal.

Looking at this for a general Ele build. It focuses on staying in the air attunement as much as possible, which has a 100% uptime channel, and two skill you can spam while channeling.


And I was thinking about this condition build for Ranger. (obv will have a pet with condition applying actives.)

i do'nt know much about elementalists, but i heard that the sylvari racial root snare is more powerful than the default ranger one. basically, it has 1200m range, compared to your 600m, AOE, and it's only 45s recharge time! so OP, i wonder if it'll get nerfed.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Grasping_Vines

build looks cool though. i might roll a ranger sometime in the future.

Also it seemed to function like a trap as well, ie enemies could miss the initial placement but they could then run into that spot and still be caught.

I enjoyed the hell out of my sylvari elementalist during BWE3; this skill may or may not have been a factor.

we're gonna mass produce this shit. we should be called The Bakery [CAKE] or something.

then again i'm starting to see the power of foods in general. we should RP as chefs, with a restaurant of a guild. there is a chef suit.

a few things

arcane power is horrible, there is no reason to use it. get a nuke for bursting or put signet of earth here.

signet of earth > signet of fire, the root is amazing for a scepter ele because it allows you to land dragons tooth + phoenix combo

you should have grounded (XII) in the air tree, shit's da bomb with the 2 knockdowns you have

the elemental attunement trait is a gajillion times better than renewing stamina - the buff it gives really helps when you're swapping between attunements, which you should be

you can't base a build around staying in air all the time. the scepter/dagger ele has really powerful burst potential and while you gain toughness + pseudo-vigor when channeling that will be next to useless to you for actually winning fights - you could still play it with 30 earth for the signet bonus, but I don't think it's worth it. the fire traits are handy and will really maximize your burst potential with dragons tooth + phoenix

thinking about getting GW2, how is the thief class? in terms of solo and group pvp

thinking about getting GW2, how is the thief class? in terms of solo and group pvp

tl;dr thief is fine, very good in solo PvP

it has some issues with staying power in group fights, but a mass-dodge build like the one that video shows can help with that

so its a month to release now?

and here i thought i would be playing torchlight 2 while waiting for guildwars..
