Ive noticed we fought against TAG yesterday on FSP, and it was a fun matchup indeed. :) Are you in TAG? How are you liking the general atmosphere in Deso? Thanks!

Bring back the meleecleave \o/

Not sure if this forum works for both America and Europe as one. Im from FSP which is full, so I cannot advise you to transfer to it (although I totally would if you could), but just some food for thought: 1. You want low percentage of bandwagoning 2. You want a lot of open tag commanders Which one is it? Open tag commanders pretty much bandwagon all the time since its their job. :bleep_bloop:

What server are you on?

Took you long enough... Thanks!

Exactly. I have screenshots of players posting these links in starter zones to annoy newcomers, cause apparently getting newbies kicked out of the game is super fun and very exciting. I barely got one of them to stay with the game, because I quote "i started today and i keep getting crashed every 15min". After I explained it was patch day he decided to stick with it for a few more days. Can we do something about it, or are ArenaNet as usual just going to ignore this issue?

Can we please do something about the players who are spamming people with this trait? Or is this "not reportable"?

> @"RisenHowl.2419" said: > What's important with clouding is that you have mobility, strong self heals or invuln, and a way to stack 25 self might (generally a trait or cheesecake). So probably weaver and dragonhunter would be the best bet here I assume? Revenant has a bit of it, but feels a bit too clunky in terms of being very predictable and having no real mobility. If you get focused you're gonna get stomped. Whereas a weaver could technically mist form / blink out, and the guardian could just pop his shitton of invulnerabilities if it gets that far and run out safe and sound. Do Rangers have any proper disengage? I never played them much but I didnt think they had that much mobility. Sure, they have immob, but you cant count on that to work vs a zerg (stability, multi enemies, etc...)..... How do rangers get out of trouble other than sitting at 1500+ range (and greatsword leap)?

Even on my DE vs a properly stacked up blob my shots will be 99% blocked/reflected/destroyed,the one hit that does land will be instantly healed. But,on thief you can go for stragglers,and usually theres some able to be picked off. They are far from wanted because everyone does everything else better in blob fights,except getting those stragglers because of your high mobility,able to stealth finish and lock em down with immob spamms. > > > IMO thief has a problem for zerg flanking - by design for the thief to be effective, it needs to be glassy.

It can spike as well as a staff weaver but its WAAAYYY easier to pull off, the cooldowns aren't as punishing, you have 2 invulns, and utility that actually helps your team: ALL AT THE SAME TIME. You give up a bit of range because it relies not just on staff but on scepter, but its 100% worth it. I was playing staff weaver in WvW zergs for awhile and just on a whim switched to power core guard. It feels like a cheat code. Do you go full Berserker with it, or should I go more Marauder and healthy stats aswell?

It can still *do* it. If you *want* to pewpew... then pick a class that got pewpew. There is no 1v50 zergbusting omnibuild thats running full berserkers mixed with full minstrels, all the traits and every skill on the bar. I dont think you understand what I mean by zergbusting.... I dont plan to 1v50. I plan to cloud the enemy zerg and pick off their tail, flank the enemy zerg and put a ton of damage down on their downed players to rally our zerg. Generally I want to be behind the enemy zerg when my zerg is on the other side. When they clash, I want to flank and throw down damage, then quickly get away to safety. :) Basically clouding.

So which class would you suggest for such actions? Im thinking ranger cause of the 1500+ longbow range, but it kinda lacks AoE (except for longbow 5, which makes you a sitting duck), or perhaps an Elementalist with a staff (1200range and good AoE)? Any ideas? Id really like to give zerg busting a go ^.^ Btw Caed, Ive heard of you busting people out on your deadeye, hope to see you ingame some time!! :)

I got absolutely nothing useful to add to the topic but I wanna express my appreciation for your proper use of "radius" plural. You go lad, the world needs more people like you.
