Aye, healers will love he turtle. For unrelenting sustain? There's the op banner.

If your power, the dragon banner will wreck the opposing enemy in chokes. To avoid, one only needs to dodge the 5th skill but, skilled 2 once trigered can be dropped continuously as massive ae bomb.
Tanky healer? Get the turtle banner. Skill 2 is waters every 7 seconds. A commander's wet dream. Push, water blast. Regroup water blast. Skill 3. Invul every 15 seconds. Oh yeah, survive those hard balls deep pushes. And skill 4 anti Condi. Skill 5 is stab cc.
Condi? Use the centaur. 2 is like sword of justice. Three is imob. 5 is the ultimate - i.e. warrior starting story where that centaur just pushed people down and they die. 5 utility block imob etc.
I may be wrong on skills on where it is because it's my setup. But be sure to read them. And use them.

Use it all. These are the lol makes enemies into mmm moments.
It really favors the many.

> Except it doesn't have the population sorting of alliances, so you're just giving everyone a free pass to transfers every two months, which would make it even easier for guilds to ally and stack, every two months, for free. Does nothing for daily hunters, because they can have their guild choose nsp too. Does nothing to non active players, they don't even count in the current active play time system either, because, they're not active. Where do booted accounts go to? the other point of the alliance system was to change the server back end for these type of moves. So if they're going to spend time developing systems like this, might as well keep developing alliances, and not half drunk off shoots.

I get angry when my squadmates die. But hate others? No. Love all the bags <3

A long time ago, I quit wvw and gw2 because of desert because like all fools, I followed the popular opinion.
Thinking for myself now, I ask why I hated it. It was because my friends quit.
Being a bit mature now, although I identify as a 9 yr old gamer at heart, it's actually a great map. Fun to fight in and easy to travel if you know your thing.
Desert is like a diamond in the rough.

There was one time when we were in ql and my screen just froze. A friend mentioned in coms I died in game. Grr. Huhu

There is no tournament so, no reason to hate other servers.d

Banners being disproportionately busted and allowing for ridiculous snowballing for already winning servers is bad game design. We should be trying to create mechanics that allow for outnumbered groups to stand a chance without handing free win buttons to the already winning side. That just makes people leave and compounds the issue.

The issue is any shareable stuff that helps the team like bloodlust food keep buff guild buffs etc., Is pro numbers.
How do you compete with people who want to try hard?

Issue is there will be no balance simply because 24/7 not all have the same coverage.
Second issue is banner is there so use it even in those not balanced circumstance.
Third issue is banner kills all if done well whether enemy is many or few.
But it can simply be dodged by a good player. Which not all can have because of the first issue.
This is all game design. And the design is 7 day ppt accomulation.

But that's wvw. Numbers = the more of quality win.
Quality is experience gear tactics banners siege situational niche, good ping and coms.
In the end of the day, someone has to lose and there will be only one winner.

You can pick on them if you want and plenty of people do, but 2v1ing a PvE ranger trying to get his camp capture daily is just sad. You can do better than that.

> That ranger is totally me lol. Even with my lack of WvW experience, I can usually tell which players are "just there for dailies" and which are "looking for fights." Unfortunately, the latter aren't necessarily looking for fair fights, as demonstrated by their tendency to deliberately outnumber and/or chase down obvious solos, low ranks, zerg-builds, and PvEers. That's fine and all if that makes them feel good. But then they jump on bodies, drop siege, or do rude emotes on top of that and wonder why the player base is dwindling.

./rockout is the new bow. :3

It is still useful. But instead of throwing a right it is now like the 1 2 combo. Jab straight

Just soldier on soldier. People will insult you because you are a threat and like being in between a rock and a hard place, they don't know how to observe think and find a way.

Well, when we reach blob size, none can kill us except when they get db or when we lag.
What I mean is , it's rare to be beaten in blob fights.

Of course. And the counter is db too.

There will be unkillable blobs if you get rid of the banner. Especially those blobs with power scourges.

Hi friend.
This is how I'd go about your guardian issue.
1. Play Pvt for now. Have hoelbrak runes. Energy sigil and force. Just base guard. If you got karma you can but the melandru armor on melandru temple
Staff gs.
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Temple_of_Melandru
2. From this. Do reward tracks that give you trinkets rings and backpiece and amulet.
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ascended_trinket
This will take a while but once you get this, you can go for minstrel stats.
3. Once done with trinkets go for armor tracks. Because armor = allows you to get minstrel stats. Then weapon.
4. Go for ascended weapon first. So you get your minstrel staff gs.
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ascended_weapon
6. Then finally go for your ascended armor.
7.
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ascended_armor
Start with this but exotic
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PWgAYFlFw8YYsO2IecT6rdA-zVIYSU9XGZWVVkqeNA-w
Then go work on trinkets - ascended
Blood stone fen for ring amulet backpiece and eating I think
Easier source simply /wiki ascended
Firebrand

Huge boon and condition stacks is basically what brings the servers to a halt. Clients start dropping out and the lag becomes unbearable.
> >
> > **This is not just a programmer issue, but partly because of failed game design. Mass boon application (boons applied to not just yourself, but also your allies) and AoE conditions should be toned down. Many players will cry, because over the years they are used to this kind of meta, but maybe shifting the meta would do healthy things to a game? I don't think it is healthy to see enemy players in a blob and have almost every boon in the game on them. Then everybody is just spamming 1111, because besides auto attack almost no other skills work reliably. This just promotes bad player and let the bigger blobs have advantage to win.**
> >
> > Now the standard setup what most squads use is at least 1 guardian and 1 necro per 5 man group, but seeing even more guardians and necros in blobs is not unusual. In some cases these two professions alone make half of the zerg! The amount of boon spam and condition spam is just ridiculous. Arenanet has for years refused to properly nerf the overused builds and the WvWvW skill "balance" is still mostly centered around spvp.

There's the cleric ventari herald for that build or the minstrel renegade for alacrity and heals centaur. It's really fun <3
