Evening!

As the title says, MAD is a guild that has existed since GW2 started (actually since GW1). We're looking at this moment primarily for new and returning players, but veterans who just want a chill environment are more than welcome to join. Our guild is focused on PVE content (some members are PvPers or WvWers though), and we schedule weekly guild missions and strike missions (the easy ones at this time). We're currently in the process of also scheduling weekly fractal runs. The only rule we have as far as repping is concerned is that we suggest you rep when you do events with us but other than that, you're more than welcome to rep any guild you want. Not every guild is a good fit for every aspect of the game and we understand that!

What does the guild offer?

* We have a level 59 guild and our guild hall is Gilded Hollow. We have resource nodes, the arena, and jumping puzzles!

* We run weekly PVE events (strikes and guild missions, with fractals pending)

* Stress free, non demanding repping rules. Few engagements. You do what you're interested in doing. Of course active members climb the ranks faster.

* We have a discord server for chatting and coordinating events

* Friendly members willing to respond to your questions about the game!

Some background: Yes the guild is really old but the guild went dormant about two years ago and i've revived it this year! We currently have about 10 members in the guild at any given time and about 20 on busy hours. Our aim is just to create a nice oasis of relaxed gaming for those out there who want to perhaps solo a lot of content, but you'd like to have a nice chat with other people every now and then, with an added bonus of being able to get more involved in weekly events if you feel that's what you want to do.

Feel free to shoot me a DM here if you're interested in joining with your account name or you can DM me in game (message kuya.6495). I'll try to get to you as soon as i'm able!

See you in game!

Wait, moobs, zeromis, toker, and nos still play!?

So when we used to stack DD eles in a team?

LOL

> Yeah go ahead remove the 100% Physical Damage reduction , and give it the Soulbeast 'Dolyak Stance' Treatment, with access to protection. It boggles my mind people are having such a problem with a 2s EP on a 90s CD.

I dont think people have a problem with the trait right now. I think this is just sour grapes cause a lot of them had their own auto traits changed and they want warriors to get the same treatment even if the trait isn't relevant anymore.

I dont see a problem with the endure pain trait but a lot of other traits for nerfed too that weren't OP because Anet had decided auto immunity is bad.

Actually I might prefer something like 10 sec of prot, regeneration and adrenaline as a auto trait that triggers after 50% hp over the current 2 seconds of damage immunity to be honest.

I wouldn't do damage buffs to DH though. Maybe lb buffs only in pve. For pvp it's probably better to buff the lesser used traits with the intention of increasing survivability. I always preferred using DH as a duelist.

They nerfed all auto damage traits. If you had read their explanation you would have known that already. They said auto damage traits aren't good for gameplay so they would bring them all in line. It didn't matter whether the trait was good or not.

Stop being drama queens.

They changed all auto stun break and auto damage traits. How can you act like this is singling out ele?

I have to admit, this is pretty lol that the OP's main got nerfed after making a balance suggestion thread.

Rev is OP again? What a time to be alive!

Hope it's not a bug. It's nice to know immediately what your teammates are using so you can change accordingly.

It does seem that outrage is something that gamers specialize in, doesn't it?

Yes, but "it's not a big enough buff " Is very different to "they nerfed it!!!".

This is why knee jerk reactions post patch are usually a bad idea. Always wait to get mad after the math comes in.

Not in pve, apparently:

> More detailed answer, we've resisting just buffing other heal specs as we don't want to get into a meta where healing has way too much influence. We're more likely to address this issue by continuing to carefully shave Firebrand until we feel it's on par with the other specs.

That's a shame. And in regards to druid and ventari? They haven't yet made it into meta as healers even before firebrand. Perhaps fb can use shaves but druid and ventari could possibly need reworks to match.

Afternoon! I just wanted to know, are there any plans to bring other specializations up to this standard of healer firebrand in pvp? As it stands, specs like druid (that were never healers in pvp), ventari or tempest can't really compete.

Any plans to address this?

"waaaaaaaa, powercreep and auto-defenses!"

anet nerfs power creep and auto defenses.

"waaaaa, you nerfed my main!"

Can't please everyone i guess.

if there are accounts that get dishonor like this more than once in a lifetime, they should be permabanned.

why would you do a 5v5 tourney without coms?

Now the question is, with the changes ben just mentioned, is it worth it to go treb now?

I am embarrassed for anyone still having a hard time with scourges.

were you being obtuse?

this is like fashion. it goes in cycles. the last time the guardian forum was this mad was when there was no guardian build in meta post HoT. then things calmed down when mutiple meta dh specs showed up and everyone else was jelly guardian has so much variety. the only complaint at that time was staff and a lack of real support options since the death of shout guard.

now we have a meta support class and complaints because dh is no longer meta. and also staff.

it's funny. guardian mains haven't been complaining too much in the past year. it's funny watching the hysteria return to this sub forum.
