Sounds great where do I sign?

Other than the camp, the entire northern quarter is wasted.

It's not news

How many parts of the map can a Zerg occupy at the same time?

Completely untrue, matches are won by not fighting.

All the bluster during active hours accomplishes a mere fraction of what uncontested night capping does.

Remove classes

best argument yet

Agreed

People should die when they die.

Why should the game actively discourage bravery?

Herding up like cattle in a zero-consequences video game not only looks silly, but also makes the game run bad.

I go to the sandswept isles

Most zones have a vendor right at the start.

PoF reward track.

Consume volatile magic.

Buy trophy boxes.

A lot of people invested time in Guardian

Then we moved on when it wasn't a good choice any more.

Others started raging at the world for their own stubbornness..

DH has been a bad idea since PoF launched, accept it. Nothing will get fixed until usage plummets.

I got a good laugh out of the second to last clip vs. Dragonbags.. Was that 2(+1)v 10..12?

Didn't stop play to count, but man lol

Often being a roamer in a cloud can be much safer since you can have access to much greater mobility and personal defense, and its easy to see where the zerg is moving and position yourself accordingly.

So in your opinion commanders and organized gameplay is less effective?

If walls actually worked that way there'd be less controversy.

But the truth is, it'll work as well as leaving your economic union to stop immigration while being equally expensive. :p

Happened to me before in laggy situations.

Sometimes, what your computer thinks happened is out of synch with the servers version of events. The result can be things like Spear of Justice pulls flying back up onto walls and renewed focus not saving you from that last hit.

No boons

> The only thing I can agree with are warclaw changes. It has too much flavor for a traveling tool. If gliding doesn't have combat value, mount shouldn't either and we certainly don't need those to affect class balance.

Personally I was hoping for glider combat. Updrafts, lazors, barrel rolls and bombs.

Same with warclaw, since they spent the time, let's have mounted combat.

As-is these things don't change the fighting much, they're more fluff than content.

If you think longer time-to-kill is a virtue, check out some crowfall. Nobody ever dies, no attack seems even marginally impactful. Everyone just runs around whacking each other for tiny bits of their hp bar.

Naturally, every fight is also a laggy mess as the eternal skirmish bloats to whole map pile-ons.

Personally I think bad choices and builds having a short life promotes better gameplay.

Oh, and downstate is a crutch.. gotta be topical

I was under the impression Mike Obrien did the netcode, that was his contribution to WoW after all.. though I suppose running the company takes up his time now.

WvW has the best reward in the game

In fact, the only reward worth seeking

Reflects are only good when your opponent gets their stuff reflected.

You're the Kota guy, right?

Were you using that build this weekend?

Wanna know how many burn stacks you landed on hunt? xD

I aksded Sanny Claws every years for no clownstate.

Nop

gotta choose hard hitting or sustain, not both.

Really does seem the case.

> @"Stand The Wall.6987" said:

So leave guard as-is and make them completely redundant, while others keep their fancy toys?

What role do you have in mind for guardian OP?

Everything else has been stripped away. Outhealed, outcleansed and as always out DPS'd.

Stabobot is what they have, all they have.

> @"RisenHowl.2419" said:

> try sword of justice out, each cast hits 20x for 6 PW procs in addition to burning on each hit. 1 cast on a stack has the potential to put out 150s of burning. x4 casts is 600s of burning, compared to the dh trap procession of blades that can only put out 240s and requires you to be in melee to use.

Nobody stands in a whirl full-duration willingly, and you have no way to force them to stand there.

Your own video disproves your assertion, it just looks good on paper.

> reflect damage is great in chokes, but loses steam quickly in open field fights. It's a nice tool to have, but doesn't define the build

Reflect damage _absolutely_ defines your build, and says more about your opponents than this builds' actual usefulness. You'd have near zero dps against people that knew enough to stop spamming their projectiles at you.
