Sovereign.1093

Because covid affected all businesses and the server business of Amazon may be affected too.

I like it.

Taste is personal preference dependent.

People can exercise patience and wait for the opportune moment to strike. You don't got to go gung ho and push all the time. Be patient wait for the opportunity :)

Warrior. Because it is the profession that made me love wvw.

Anyone with mayx rev want to chime in? How much do you cleanse?

I invite you to raid with us in nsp/gom at time zones pst est and eu.

We've got ebg guild, Dom, and slayers XD. Sea ocx is our down time so if you like to roam, that's the time for you.

No. :3 hehe

Since hammer 2 on rev is like hammer 3 now, does it still bug?

If ppl hate pounce of warclaw. They will not like no downstate.

Or maybe they might but it's part of the game.

If remove something, should be dragon banner x bloodlust and stat upgrade on. Keeps etc.,

Too op it is. Unless a non power uses it. It can kill your damage dealers fast.

Because you do a bit of damage too as clerics. It may not be popular but you will be loved.

The hammer 2 3 can be coordinated well like necro wells. Including the dropping of I.r.

> I would probably say yes with the exception of Chrono. Every HoT spec is a little more straight forward than each of their PoF specs but IMO, also more well designed and balanced. Scrapper, Druid and Berserker are the ones that aren't so great design-wise but, I think each of their PoF specs made up for that.

> I've done a lot of zerging with Herald and Reaper, two of the classes people have said are the easiest in zergs. In my opinion, Reaper is the easiest spec to zerg with. Although it does require you to know your limits better than some other classes/specs, your only real job is to cleave - create downs and eliminate downs. As long as you're good at picking out the weak points you've pretty much got it mastered.

> Notice how often I'm pushing very deep alone but that I don't often take much pressure. From experience I can tell very easily when a zerg will need to recover/regroup at which point I want to be most aggressive. I also want to focus on cleaving out downs or creating downs from players that are lagging behind. Besides that, there isn't much else to do with Reaper but cleave and cleave some more.

That works.

I'm partial to revs since it's not hard too. Just conscious management of energy

On hammer, yes. Absorb and draining

On the other, energy and absorb.

Shout runes <3

If you outlive your allies, rejoice, atleast you were not a bag.

Have 2 sets

One full cleric and one Pvt zerker or wanderer zerker. You'll be doing 8k 12 k in no time. So judge the situation.

If you have enought fbs and heal tempest/scrappers then, go damage. But if you need heals, go clerics.

I personally play Pvt zerker warrior. And it's my favorite class. Because norn looks cute.

> **Scourge** by far. (Cele/trailblazer) If you put the wells on the location requested on demand and put marks and shades where you need them you're already half way there.

> **Ranger** is easy but whoever is playing ranger is gimping their server (Greatsword Soulbeast with stance share is likely the most effective variant, but most random rangers are running longbow and autoing)

> Staff **daredevil** is probably a close second but the survivability is lower if player positioning is poor ; as in PVE a large part of damage is just autoattacking but in WvW you want Vault

> **Power reaper** has a second health bar so it is more forgiving if you can generate life force

> **kitless DPS gyros scrapper** is pretty straightforward as well but because utilities are highly dependent on timing and it's most effective at melee range I would say it isn't the easiest

>

> **Spellbreaker** you need to deal with positioning more. The heal variant also has to contend with being careful with when they use warhorn skills / Shake it Off so as to not waste cooldowns.

> **Med kit scrapper** needs to deal with kits unless you camp med kit all day ; timing is of the essence for cleanses and stealth gyro.

> **Firebrand** you need to deal with tomes and also not waste mantras (due to range limitations and possibly using the 3rd charge)

> Staff **heal tempest** is only easy if you spam water auto , but to be effective need to time the auras and shouts to remove conditions properly

> **Staff weaver** is not considered easy , it never was unless you just want to spam fireball : positioning and timing are essential and even more so if you use anything outside of fire attunement

> **Revenant** you need to deal with energy , upkeep and the buggy CoR pathing. Condi rev has to deal with energy + legend swapping

> **Mesmer** has never been "easy" in any mode unless you don't make use of shatters whatsoever and don't rely on phantasms/clones for damage

On rev, isn't hammer 2 like hammer 3 now? Is like a purging flames skill.

In gen, though, isnt hot specs easier?

Mmm, makes it easy if true. I miss the old jalis malyx build . If renegade can add alacrity

Sentiments here is necro. Guess that's why necro is favored by most.

Power/condi/cele necro?

Downstate is a feature since the beginning. To please no down state, the warclaw pounce was introduced. Tis like no downstate with extra steps.

It's even harder to rally now.

If this is true, then most players play necros?

If you ever play early eu or 4pm server time, I'm available in na nsp. :)

Many have passed by my care to hold their own in their own timezone and servers.

Else, you can mail me and we can discord sometime, and give you the basics that I know. And maybe I can answer some of your questions
