I need to know you are not being serious rn. Ok then mesmer get nothing from rune of speed in fact they move slower with it.

So I'm curious what it you would have to deal with that make any difference whatsoever. Unless potentially showing your dps to someone running arcdps make you feel naked, I suppose.

> @"Veprovina.4876" said: > Well in WvW you're supposed to use siege to get inside towers and keeps. Otherwise it's an exploit because you can bypass a mechanic. A siege where anything above 5 people means certain classes become unviable due to the heavy boonball zergmeta because then you can literally bypass anything as you run over single targets while being immune to damage, CC and conditions. I'm not concerned about the thief "bypassing" there, or the mesmer. Its a very specific utility on a class mostly used for very specific things. But imagine the scenario if portal was a core guard skill. The scourge tp is the only real issue there, they should never have gotten that.

This thread was dead over a year ago, but now its alive again just like Dragons Stand.

No but you might get a broken spork.

You can have multiple of the same yes, with all stat selection.

PLEASE delete the thread mods I've made a huge mistake :( WvW is in the best shape it's been in years! I wish the mods had a sense of humor and deleted this thread. Not because of this sarcastic comment of course, but rather due to your previous statement being so hilariously false. Because yes, there can actually be 4 queues in this dead mode. And no, they're not all roamers running away from each other. The good roamers left the game long ago. *Of course*.

Europe already have servers and Asia has an entirerly different version of GW2.

This serves zero purpose other than delay further fights after you lost some people, most often in a situation where you are already at a disadvantage. Being able to res someone fully dead has never been an issue in WvW.

You're not pregnant?" Mother: "My son is 6 years old but I want an abortion!!!"* "If they want to keep it" isnt really a thing 6 years down the line and multiple fixed versions later that barely resemble original DBL. Whether they should have done so from the start and kept even 3-ways - or not done it at all, just remade ABL into desert version to keep borders uniform - is another argument.

Its unlikely it will maintain absolute max boost for long while gaming with passive cooling though. Typical is probably below min. But hey I *have* played GW2 on a Surface Pro 2, which has a roughly similar GPU (little less powerfull, the low core count really hurts them). "Played" being a relative term, since it took about 10 minutes for me to become nauscious and nearly vomit because it was so choppy.

Well, an HD400 GPU in chromebook has 115 gflops of fp32 performance. In comparison an RTX3080 has 29770 gflops of fp32 performance. I'm sure it will run... uuuuh... great... depend on how old it is I guess. Newer chromebooks might be better. Edit: HD600 is a blazing 125 gflops!

Are there even laptops with 3000 series available yet? I havent seen any. Anyway, the problem isnt the GPU. It's the CPU. All laptops run crippled CPUs that will downclock heavily to run cool. Around that price range you can get a *decent* machine and they will pretty much run the same lines of CPU ~10700H-10800H with the same lines of mobile RTX2060-2080. As an example, Amazon.de has the Razer Blade 15 with a 10875H and 2070 Super Max-Q at €2500. But then again I would argue that you would see minimal difference in GW2 with a 10750H and 2060 or similar specced machine for €500-1000 less (especially if you dont "need" that 300hz screen). Do note that the Max-Q ones are almost full fat RTX cards, unlike the "regular" RTX mobile cards, a big chunk of performance difference. Got to consider if it's worth it for other things, not just GW2 (which applies even more so for laptops).

A 10 man attacking guild can *dominate* a border during more quiet times even when defenders have 20+ on the border. Even during peak times with 50+50+50 zergs on the map fighting and killing each other for hours... whatever side is *actually* capping things is the winner on that border even if they loose the fights.

Well the thread went from being about "uncatcheable mortar engies everywhere" to *actually* being about potential hackers (or lag, those videos you caught would be neat to see). So yes I am a little argumentative because I questioned your initial post.

Oh you mean you want a tag system that works exactly like the commander tag works? We already have that. It's called the commander tag. You can even hide it so there is no public marker and do whatever you want with the squad.

Seen neither increase or decrease in engineers lately - core are rare encounters, 95% of scrappers are still running zerg minstrels and holos are pretty much on the same power roamer builds since PoF release (and nowhere near the numbers pre range nerfed what-was-Anet-even-thinking holo shockwave). > > > > > > This thread is about, that for the past two weeks I'm seeing more and more of them in T1/T2 matchups, and I am wondering why. > > Havent seen anyone else note there are more mortar engies, nor seen anything like it in T2/T1. > > The mortar also hasnt been changed for... well forever I think.

Got it. Possible I guess, but nobody rational would pick scrappers to hack with just for the mortar and being uncatchable when the thief and ranger exist.

Havent seen anyone else note there are more mortar engies, nor seen anything like it in T2/T1. The mortar also hasnt been changed for... well forever I think. I dont know when it was last for WvW. It's only been nerfed in sPvP and that was almost a year ago. Anyone else seen mortar engies that are uncatchable proliferate these last weeks?

Then you would presumably know that certain classes are better than others with their mobility and reaching out. Also melee ele is one of the strongest dueling builds in the game while nike warriors remain *far* more "uncatchable" than engineers (and lets not even talk about counter built spellbreakers) and lf regen superbunker necros are one of the most common cheese builds as of late. So what's this thread about? Seen neither increase or decrease in engineers lately - core are rare encounters, 95% of scrappers are still running zerg minstrels and holos are pretty much on the same power roamer builds since PoF release (and nowhere near the numbers pre range nerfed what-was-Anet-even-thinking holo shockwave).

Agreed, delete shattered aegis.

Thats true. Cant help but notice you didnt say what you played though.
