Jacaranda is the best pet atm, agreed there. To make matters worse, you can't even kite it the same way you can Smokescale and birds.

Even the necromancer, which is notoriously "slow", can build to be relatively "fast". So maybe the issue of the "weak fast guy" isn't necessarily a loss of speed but a lack of (popular) options to be "strong". > > > > > > or refusal of thief mains to try anything other then un-killable builds, I honestly dont remember the last time there was any thief build that could die by anything other then massive missplays > > > > Here he comes, with his massive superiority complex and bottle of thief salt. > > here he comes, with 3 defensive traitlines backstabing for 4,5k and whining he has no damage. > buff sb5 cuz it bugged one me REEEE You don't understand the class. At all. You can't (NA = not advancing kekw), and you refuse to.

Your point? Two wrongs doesn't a right. You're being malicious under the guise of trash humor for the sake of it.

Either way, both builds quality for 'newbie stomper'. The issue stems from the fact that regardless of the matchup, it'll be a fairly risk-free cake walk for the DH yet anything but for the opponent. > > > > Do you "insta-die"?

A setting where you can complete close someone out of the match via the simple act of picking a specific build or character should not exist in _any competitive game._

If we get guild battles, or anything remotely resembling some, in EoD it'd be wicked awesome. Just no glitched gates, please.

Either way, both builds quality for 'newbie stomper'. The issue stems from the fact that regardless of the matchup, it'll be a fairly risk-free cake walk for the DH yet anything but for the opponent. Do you "insta-die"? No. Do they, however, completely zone you out of a medium-sized area for a long while? Yes. Are you likely to be forced to reset if you make a single mistake? Yes. Does the DH have a very small window of vulnerability to capitalize on? Yes, until you've exhausted all their traps at least twice. Builds like this should not exist in PvP (or in general, imo); they promote unhealthy gameplay patterns that disclose too much skill gap between players for too little.

If its the first one, I dont see myself playing anything else because I finally feel like I'm impacting the game :O Burn guard is a newbie stomper of the highest caliber. Combine that with your MMR, and you get just-as-expected results.

> @"medivh.4725" said: > Necros are over powering in PVP. It is no fun getting swamped by Necro NPCs. Anet need adjustment like put slowness on those Necro monsters, depowering, limit their spawn and respawn time, etc etc. There is alot that anet can do here. > > On occasion there can be like 2 necro player on same team, and then 10 monsters swamp the arena. Would be doable if their poweress is reduced, are less mobile, etc. These monsters march so quick and have some decent defence. Pls do something Anet Wait until you see raid boss WvW core necro.

DE isn't under-represented at all. Revenants obliterate them. DH can hold vs them indefinitely.
