Some paths for selectable stat exotics and/or ascended gear actually aren't that bad but require knowledge that new players just don't tend to have. GW2 doesn't babysit you and in most cases it's a beautful thing, because you get to make money off of your OWN knowledge in some cases, perusing the wiki and experiencing the game. But for raids, it's freaking annoying. Some metas for gearing up require delving into old content too, which is also not straightforward. > > Gw2 if one of the easiest mmo gearwise.

That's already having most of it (10 out of 14-16 pieces, depending on whether you use 1h or 2h weapons). More, in fact, than it would seem from just counting pieces, because it so happens that armor pieces are the _least_ important (having ascended trinkets + weapons covers close to 90% of the impact of the full ascended set) trust me. some of raid groups make you ping all gear and i get insta kicked for not having the 4 armor pieces!

Our is this only your personal feelings? If i look at Snowcrows golem benchmarks, i see Power Weaver and power chrono on top and classes like holo, daredevil and soulbeast are at the same level as Guardian, from the Dps side. If you look at the boss benchmarks beside on Adina and Deimos out of 19 boss encounters, Guardion is not Top Dps. > Heal Tempest should have the most healing and if you run with 1 healer in Raids you will run to 95% a druid. > To make 1 think clear, if you play your class proberly, you can clear all encounter with every class. Sure some Comps will make the encounter easier, but if the LFG demands this Comps, then it the Player habits/mentalitie that exclude other players from the party, or the players currently skill in the game and not that your class is not good enough. > In PvP there is a post from 02.2020 which ranks builds for pvp and the first Guardion build is on C Tier (quote: https://www.gamersdecide.com/articles/gw2-tier-list-guild-wars-2-best-dps-class) . Right now Guardion is not Top Tier too in PvP. Go test on fractal golem where you are not dependant on others buffs! It tops everything! And at g3+ in pvp there are 2-3 guards/ team! Please check actual facts not from early 2020! We got +10 more months now of patches and nerfs! Guardian is top tear of everything atm! The cdps guardian is 20k with 0 buffs 0 might, independent of other classes buffs! Its crazy! DH trapper condi in pvp wrecks charts! HFB tops heals and is better than druid in most fights!

> @"Lucio.4190" said: > Logic says that when everyone's competing with Condition Damage and Power, the best stats will win. > Is it possible to use other attributes that will neutralize that build, using a different tactic? (Just asking, trying to understand if there really isn't another way to build a character) Thats why i didnt post it to pve or pvp! the class is top tier on both and all aspects of the game and i dont find it normal as it kicks other classes from the party/squad!

Thats stupid isn't it? > > Your numbers arent right mate. You can make an ascended armor set within a week (even faster) > Also... some raid encounters like vale guardian, bandit trio,escort, keep construct, twisted castle, cairn, mo, samarog, ca are fairly easy and all new raiders can learn and do it very easily. That is 9 easy LI per week (assuming u dont do other bosses that are also easy but need more focus on mechs). 250 LI can be earned in 28 weeks assumung u earn atleast these 9 li per week... a year is...52 weeks? Lol anyways u also get better each as weeks pass and even with more trainings ( guild runs/ your own runs/ random lfg trains) you can do more and more bosses and get more LI per week which lets u reach 250 li faster. Also if u think u are a good enough player u can join 150-250 li groups and ask them if they give u a chance! Most people in raids are nice as long as u do ur role properly! (Ppl dont like to carry u) > I started like 7 months ago and im now at 550 li +... it wasnt easy as i didnt had any guilds to help me out. But i went to the training area and learned my class as a dps role. Then joined groups each week and got my first LIs as weeks passed until after 3 months i had 250 li.( always pugs ) > The thing is u shouldnt take what everyone says seriously and move on and dont give up if u really wanna raid easily. Just keep on getting better and one day you will earn ur 250th li How can you make full ascended in 1 week? please share it!

> @"Excursion.9752" said: > Unless you make your own group with like minded people then you will always get a pretty heavy dose of needing KP or "L2p". > > I am a fairly experienced in raids. Not god tier by no means but what I have found is that just because you learn something one way does not mean that is the way it is ran by the next group. You will be judged constantly. Everyone will be running arcdps (not really but assume so) and watching your performance. Giving you tips on how to do your rotation. Just assume when your a healer if someone dies its automatically your fault. Even if they didn't know the mechanics or made a mistake. You must prove yourself. > > When you decide to partake in raids this is the agreement that you sign up for. Either you have tough enough skin to brave the flames and let the words roll off your back or you will get upset and quit. You may think its dumb but so is waiting 15 min for a specific class to join so you can clear something 2 min faster and that happens. So normal logic does not always apply. > > If you want change, you have to be the one willing to take the first step. There is more than enough content to teach you what you need to know to command your own group. Or you can be like me and roam the LFG looking and waiting for things that I want to do. I am at the mercy of people making groups or needing more. I choose this just as you choose to be restricted by KP and armor requirements. > > So you can let this dictate you or you can control it. The choice is yours. Here is a funny story to leave you with. I joined a group we 1 shot the whole wing. No one died no mistakes. I asked if we were doing more. The commander replied we are! but your not because you suck! and kicked me. I laughed so hard tears came to my eyes. Sure they could have been serious but I took it as a joke. This game and life is about how you react to it. Don't get upset do it as how you feel it should be done. Good luck! I run arcdps myself and i can say i top dps in all raid bosses i've made or 2nd place! So those 250 LI dont mean anything! Internet is full of mechanics and how do you run bosses in 4-5 lines to read! I feel like this stupid things should not be able to be linked! Its not a player ability to play a game! And we all saw that some bosses can be made 6-man so 4 leeched in that case? So there is a surplus of LI out there in the world as some player leeched their way thru it!

> @"Touchme.1097" said: > I feel your pain, I have been lucky enough to end up in 2 guilds doing raid and fractal training and luckily I get a spot by signing up in time. As a new player you have to face the toxicity and elitism of other players who have had their training in PvE already, it's not a welcoming experience, especially in pugs as you always get toxic players complaining about your performances. Life is tough for new players nowadays and ArenaNet should step up to fix this issue before it goes out of control. I would be glad to share my knowledge in PvE with new players without being judgemental. This is the way! I'm a tryhard and made plat2 then drop gold2 to farm gear but i think thats the max i can get from pvp! I reach t4 fractals! In 3 weeks all! But in raids its almost impossible even tho when i pug w1 and some random bosses i top the dps chart with exotics! Other dont even look at me with my 5 LI but they ask 250LI+! I will give up as i peaked all the game things and raids are unreachable! Its hard to find guild that take you serious with 2000 ap! Sorry but thats the truth in this game! There is no help for newcomers and i think new players should stay away from this game and let the elite play with elite and die in elite fashion!

Core warrior isn't killing anything with even a tiny amount of consistent cleanse, and Berserker is bad and still bad beyond meming people who panic and can't dodge obvious CC. Condi mirage might make a come back. Weaver can't do anything with a support on the enemy team. Core necro is a meat sponge that can't touch a team with cleanse support and trapper DH is the last viable guardian build. Power chrono is a glass cannon that dies to anything that looks at it hard enough and can dodge telegraphed burst and is gonna really become useless if power Shiro starts another reign of terror. > > > > > > > > > > The fact you think burn DH is an issue speaks a lot and not in a good way. Again, most of the things you listed aren't viable or just straight up outclassed by the main build the class uses. Shifting the main thing you see on a match also doesn't change the fact that what the classes can run that's viable is extremely limited. Having 1-2 builds even worth mentioning, much less actually using, means we've got no build diversity. > > > > > > > > It was on EU. MM scourge did quite well, while being as slow as it is. My power chrono destroyed dual burn DH teams easily, I didn't even die once in those games.

I only played like 4-5 games since yesterday's patch. And only around P1. In higher tiers, people will of course know how to counter a power chrono properly. > > > > > > > > €: I am not saying all these builds are viable. But the meta seems shaken up a little and I will not judge before one or two weeks came in. Then maybe we can talk about guard, maybe necro or whatever comes up. > > > > > > > > > > If you can destroy DH with power mesmer, how can you reasonably say it's way too effective for how easy it is to play? How hard a build is doesn't mean it should have any standard of viability attached to it, even if you literally just auto attack. This build is make or break by trapper runes and Dragon's Maw, remove either of those things or just dodge Dragon's Maw and you've got a build that can't hope to do anything but F1 and that's also severely jeopardizing their effectiveness even if it lands. Once it's gone, guardian is without any viable builds left baring some new discovery or such a serious shakeup in the meta that an old build comes back. > > > > > > I seriously doubt much will change. If power thief were to be out then power Shiro will likely fill in its place again, even if it is a compromise on mobility in exchange for better team-fighting capabilities. This could let condi mirage come back and keep it in check but I doubt it. I agree the meta could be shaken up a bit, but I don't see it being so much so that Berserker, non holo engis, non tempest ele's, etc etc will be able to come back. One or two things might shift, but we'll still be in a stagnant state of little build variety. > > > > Oh how I remember the days when all the competitive thieves rerolled power Rev. People on the receiving end hated it even more and begged for thief to be good again. *rocks back and forth in old squeaky chair* Yeah.... Those were the days. > > Remember the days 20 energy Phase Traversal, F2 giving all of Glint's facet boons, staff 5 doing damage, shield being great, Equilibrium existed, Impossible Odds gave quickness and superspeed, Elder Force giving a damage buff for every boon on you, and Sword 2 tracked stealth? *Brings two hot drinks and sits in a second squeaky chair.* Those were quite the days. The question is: Why the devs dont keep these kind of builds that are fun to play and have 1 more viable build on the table and buff other builds at the same level of fun? Why we need to crash burn kill every possbile build out there. thats what i dont understand. why cant we have 30 builds on point that you can have there and actual SKILL in pvp makes your mark, not some copy paste build from metabattle from those 3-4 5 rank( 3 OR 4 BUILDS THAT ARE 5 STARS). Its crazy!

I think the build diversity is lower than when the game started and you could see at a 5vs5 ranked game at least 6 different build, sorry but its the truth!
