Because my downstate build is so meta, 90% of my damage/healing/cleanses/boon application is done while in downstate. Unfortunately I can't play this build during the event, because clearly a vocal part of the community has been so perturbed by this OP mechanic.

That comes with anything linking mechanics to a fluctuating Outnumbered Buff.

There is a scale with two plates having one pile of pebbles on each. One side is lower than the other. You remove a pebble from the lower side, and add it to the higher plate. The scale shifts, and both plates are now closer to the same elevation.
Did you increase the total amount of pebbles on the scale?

RIP. Although 5e (and I guess Pathfinder 2.0) get close, so you're probably fine with those. Obviously, GW2 won't be translated 1:1 to any tabletop unless you like keeping track of all the variables computers handle for video games...

> I will make a campaign settibg for DnD 5e, because its the one i play and I am most familiar with.
This should probably happen first. Although less so setting, more so a short module with a page for the module's local setting. Of course, mention important lore relevant to the module as it goes along. One big gripe with 5e's DM's guide is that it started with large scale ideas (governmental systems, gods, factions, currencies, etc.) that probably wouldn't come to fruition early on. Then it tells you to start small...ironically.
So, in practice. Don't have more than 3 "maps" and don't have more than 3 significant NPCs (this keeps your scope manageable). First map can be a caravan with one npc, as if the players are escorting the caravan to a Point of Interest (POI). Allow time for the social/exploration, then there can be a form of an ambush and/or environmental obstacle (how that occurs is up to you). A second map for a "dungeon" or a Vista, where we are assuming the players are exploring to find where the ambush came from or resources to resolve an obstacle. Then lastly, the third map for the POI to finish the module with rewards and/or more socializing. You can add 2 more important npcs outside of the caravan driver where one could be for the second map and another for the last map. Keep it basic allowing it to slide into any campaign.
Depending on what you include for each map you can bring up setting details instead of info dumping grand schemes too early. After the module bit is where you can get into the nitty-gritty of Tyria.
> I am working on the classes atm (each will get 3 subclasses)
I'd do classes last honestly. There are a ton of classes/subclasses out there already that can be re-used or for inspiration that have 5e as their system. If you do choose to do this only do two (one class that is martial, and one class that focuses on magic). So probably Warrior and Elementalist. Most of GW2's classes that have magic often act like [gishes](https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Gish) (e.g. half casters with melee weapons and magic), so figuring out how these two work provides foundation for the others.
Examples [here](https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/84300/5e-d-d-races-and-classes-for-guild-wars-questions).
> I will make a combofield ruleset and a ruleset for weaponswapping and dodgerolls (dodge action enhanced).
Correction. Do this first technically.
First, Combofields will be the hardest and there isn't a great structure for them in 5e. It's probably something you might pass on then return to later as it might require more effort.
Second, honestly you don't really need to change the Dodge Action rather add another reaction (don't have it increase AC because 5e stresses not having multiple +AC bonuses for balance reasons). For example call it **Tumble** instead: _as a reaction to being affected by a spell or attack that you can see, you attempt to roll up to 15 feet in a line to an unoccupied space to avoid harm. Your movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks, but you fall **prone** if you did not take the Dodge Action this round._ The **prone** and 15 feet is for balance as you don't want to give everyone a free movement boost (e.g. getting up from [prone](https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/appendix-a-conditions#Prone) requires half their movement speed), while it should also encourage use of the Dodge Action.
Third, not sure what you mean by weapon swapping unless you intend to draw/stow weapons more freely than what is written in 5e (I think normally doing so eats up action economy).
> Bestiary will be last.
Don't do this last but rather alongside whatever creatures are necessary for the module as mentioned previously and not much more. That being said, in general avoid giving creatures more than 3 spells if they're not special unless you like remembering everything...
_P.S.P.S.S: Personally. I think GW2 is harder to translate to tabletop than GW1. This MMO often rolls many effects into one skill/spell/whatever, while its predecessor's skills were simpler individually. Of course, this MMO is far more action orientated partly for that reason._

Rolling 1 or 20. When you make a death saving throw and roll a 1 on the d20, it counts as two failures. If you roll a 20 on the d20, you regain 1 hit point.

Rather they nerf reflects because they have uncapped targets, and redo the zeal trait for spirit weapons. Half the spirit weapons don't fully benefit from tier 3 trait (only hammer and sword can apply burn for example).
The rate of burn application on symbols is stable. But the spinny-spirit-sword when traited and reflects are ridiculous.

We really can't allow this unresponsive lagfiesta psuedo-gameplay to continue years into the future in its current state. Just do something about it already, anything really. The WvW community will PAY MONEY to fix this issue. More people will play WvW if it was playable to begin with.

Probably take your money so they can pander on facebook/twitter or something.

What little lore there is of WvW I think it was alternate realities not a set team.

Neither seemed good at chasing either...as both relied on the other opponent to stick around and fall into traps (literally) multiple times. Better off moving on if you see another whittle-down style build.

That only covers the video clip. If a picture or a link to a build is a disk space issue too then I can't help you there.

Darn, and here I thought the OP was gonna be talking about the uncapped amount of targets in all reflects. Like from walls, and magnetic aura spam. Something that hasn't aligned with ANET's desire to cap many other aoe abilities in previous balance passes. Guess I'll have to try again!

Play as ANET intended, and sit near objectives. We gotta protect our PPT for Lord Commander Indo during these dark times while maintaining a 6 feet distance from one another of course (or 2 meters in civilized societies).
