Armor doesnt matter for pvp i vote no...no need for it.....what it should be is juat a skin...u shoulsnt be able to change stats since stats on armor dont matter for pvp....a legendary skin would make more sence for pvp then actual armor.

Id like to see a 20%-50% damage reduction in stealth...u should give something up to gain a massive advantage with sneak attacks like invisability.

I still feel weakness needs to affect condi builds or at least have a new condition thats just like weakness forcondi.

To make a new game mode takes time and resources...a software company has there entire programing schedual layed out for at least 6 months. And to change that schedual would mean a hault on most if not all schedual work and nithing will get done...to keep requesting new game modes is like asking for the rain to stop when its raining...will it, no it might stop and change to sun in 10 min but for a software company thats like 10 months....

However in the context of anet and gw2, i dout new games mode will ever happen. Anet is a pve minded company and pvp just isnt in there cards to satisfy the peoples wants and expectations for pvp.

6 years and nothing really new for pvp.

Id like to see a 25%-50% damage reduction just for attacking in stealth...u give up something to gain a big advantage like surpise attack seem fair to me.

I main ele and have a warrior back up....i dont really have fun playing anyother classes....atm im bored af playing warrior, and fa ele my favorite play style is so under powered it makes me frustrated and sad. Its just not fun having to play 5 times harder then a spellbraker only to have done 15% damage, then for him to just use rush and hit me for 6k+ then have a so called anime god move Full Counter ( look up the seven deadly sins this is where they got it from, very unoriginal very dissapointing), be triggered either by my own lighting discharge attunement or my friendly player. Iv moved onto no mans sky for now...well see what the next balance patch brings us.

Im un decided. Im still pissed about hots release....they promised legendarys when hot droped and 2-3 years later we still dont have them all....and Most of them are really lame...come on flames of war..a candle stick? You kidding me? Some people like shushadoo, but i for one think a fish tank shield is retardedly stupid.

Just poped in my head...a conquest style king of the hill.....read me out ha.

Theres only 1 capture point at a time it has to be held for a certain amount of time, that means no enemy can enter or the time restarts. Your 3-5 man team has to hold the hill for a solid one min befor getting 25 points per say it can be anything it doeant matter 5 or 10 again doesnt metter pointer per kill...1st to 100 the team wins....i think tjis style will promote the most team cordination possible between each other as well have some fun while doing it.

Nevermind blerp

Seems the designers/artist are takeing things up a notch in the 2nd half of 2018, its pretty different, im definitely liking it more then i hate it....like always its an outfit so you cant mix and match the best of the best inthe eye of the beholder.

That torch should be legendary....Flames of War is a disgusting looking item....

This new one looks like it was crafted from the gods.

Could you become a anet employee and push ur agenda please....thanks the be great.

Get proper gear and accessory befor stepping in to lvl 80 areas...with out it, youll be killing mobs forever because of your crappy damage....if ud like when i log on i can send you some coin to gear up properly its not that expensive 10g at most for a set of beserker gear i believe.

If your not 30 or older your a baaby and baabys shouldnt speak there nonsense opinions...../joke

> From what I gathered in this thread, guardians don't care if an internal cd is slapped onto retaliation because they only use that boon to buff their stats via traits. The damage from it is no concern to them, only how it interacts with their traits. This is how I understand it, I've concluded that the 100% uptime on retaliation is fair as long as an internal cooldown is placed on it. If there won't be an internal cooldown on retaliation, then the 100% uptime isn't fair and is extremely passive gameplay. This is my stance on it, and it is the fairest conclusion I could draw from the many posts.

Honestly i dont care about retal one way or the other i play no class that uses it but if retal get an icd id like to see confusion get on as well.

I thought i read mesmers where having problems with retal some where in this thread sry.

Retal is a much needed thing against clone spammage, and continuous bursty classes like holosmiths, thfs, rangers. If a single boon is able to finish u off because you cant stop your own attacking then its only your own fault....as far as mesmers go idk how about u not make continuous clones, play the class alittle different when placed into a sitchuation of high up time retal opponents.

Retaliation isnt the problem is wasnt a problem a year ago it wasnt a problem 2 years ago....what changed is other classes ability to do continuous burst...so in short stop your self from bursting sometimes and be aware of the enemys sitchuation befor u go full burst like a nub?

Just my 2 cents on this topic.

This is probably how it works...but when they continuously nerf things like fire staff 2 and other ele nerfs that make no sense and then the forums blow up just because of it...then this "supervisor filter" doesn't really work...

Anet are not gods and they should not think there player base should just be "ok" with no views on this or that class for years at a time. If any thing type of engagement your promoting is causing ppl on neglected class forms to spill over on spvp wvw and gen forms where they should be to some point but not to the level they are now.

How do we know if they pay attention or not...they havnt posted in them in a long time..this is the point op is trying to make. You can say i like salads and eat one every day but if i dont post it online and show proff how will anyone really know unless you look at my fat as s. My fat as s is an analogy of there balancing and patches. It just keeps getting worse if they dont commit(post there opions on player forum post) and post....all thats needed is for them to pop in every once and a while and say 1 thing..."instreating well discus internally" or just recognition by any kind of word or sentance that they exsist be really nice.

I liked the songs he picked...that core ranger build is intresting.

Did that mesmer ever switch away from staff.....i dont remeber seeing him use anything else..ill admit i didnt watch the enitre 3 hour video though.

having what a 9 second 1200 range teleport to escape anything is alittle to op....it needs to be like a 20 second cd so that it can be used strategically and not spamed just to avoid every major hit.

Another retarded thing about mes is at the 8:55 mark of the youtube vid...u successfully evade the clone sprint but the clones remain and dont disappear and continue on...mesmer is just a op mechanic that some dev was able to sneak into the game i feel.

An easy fix for it i feel would be having the clone explosionsf1-f4 be like circle placment. So the clones explode in an area and dont follow the target for ever. Giving the evade mechanic somw more usefullness against clonage spamage.

Fa weaver is my main its my blood. Im only a gold 3 player so nothing to really speak about. But when all your skills are 900 ranged at most, single target and you cant even top 13k hit on a single target whats the point....when u got telepoeting invisable mesmers doing 20k bombs, teleporting invisable 1500 range pew pew thfs doing 15k+ DJs, when u got insta teleporting gaurdians doing 18k damage, when u got 1500 range pew pew rangers and 20k+ worldy impacts....whats the point. How can a aingle target dps class that fant even top 13k on a single target be able to compete in this meta?

I have given up until something changes.

Thanks ben....you the best...do me a favor and ignore the hatters they dont know whats involved when developing something new. Keep up the great work. Looking foward to swiss.....also i feel there should be athumbs down button and if something get enough thumbs down it automatically deleted from the forum.

750g all from pvping only like 4-6 seasons worth of gold....bought a lot of skins since then though

If swiss will be done by December thats fine by me. If your looking at at 2019 drop of swiss that be very dissapointing.

Theres only one pvp mode and that is conquest...strong hold doesn't count for it is not fun nor does it focus on actually fighting people. There is no deathmatch que with the court yard map. So i can understand why the op doesnt pvp at all...what is there other then conquest........a bucket load of nothings after 6 years.....im so ready to move on to the next thing.
