tell them do necro and ranger support. me gusta!

also did they get water magic traits for water attuned elem? pretty much basic healing. made my well placed ranger springs look pathetic...

they better not be expecting to heal through catapult barrage.

yeah, I wouldn't call ranger much of a main support class, although they secondary support. That condition removal for group on dodge trait is pretty cool. Not sure exactly what they were doing other than they complained about not feeling like they had much of an impact. I think it was more about the impact than the actual skills they could use.

But meh, they're not me so I think I'll stop there.

[tamagoyaki]

oh the impact thingy. i think i had that feeling back then too. maybe they'll get over it.

tbh when i tcomes to the different kinds of pvp in the game there's a fair amount of learning curve. i watched a number of ele spvp videos this past week and only a few of them really applied to wvw for example, and my experience with wvw was different depending on the situation A LOT, and even more so vs pve.


just in terms of adapting and and how i play in each situation plus what weapon i am using. i expect to have a small collection of weapons in my inv as ele depending on what i want to do or what kid of wvw we're having in a night for example.

i noticed that reflection wall in my videos, didn't quite notice it when i was playing.

what does it do?

it basically reflects all projectiles back to the caster.

I've had necros fear themselves, people trying to root me and ending up rooting themselves, all sorts of funny stuff.

Now, some skills are not reflected because they are not a projectile, example: the elementalist meteor shower. It doesnt go FROM the elementalist to the target (projectile) but rather falls from the sky, so its not reflected.

But everything else that is a projectile is reflected, and people CAN walk past the wall before anyone cries OP. so if they dont want to deal with it, walk past it.

Although you can "circle strafe" people through the wall, and keep them in the other side if they're dumb about it.

Melee attacks are not reflected either.

But it is a very good skill in WvW when you're outside of a keep and they are throwing out a lot of projectiles at your group you can just use that skill and see the massive spam of "Combo!" around (meaning you're reflecting the attacks).

That skill is the main reason i rolled guardian in the first place

Different wall gurren. Mesmerized ability. beyond the wall my allies are invisible

[dirtyklingon]

he was the one that brought it up, and why i was asking him.

but thanks for chiming in ted.

some cool abilities both of them... good reason to have a mixed force.

[0____________o]

you need to direct your questions better gentleman

[dirtyklingon]

i think i actually quoted his post

they're not full on support.

even the guardian i was playing full on offensive with 2 defensive skills (reflection wall + sanctuary).

i tested multiple classes and it really does seem like they can all go full on support or dps/offensive.

but they do need some tuning before they can be played properly in all roles.

actaully i9t was like this lolz then you answered randomly.

[0____________o]

you didnt quote him, but i think i assumed we were still talking about my performance in the video, and gurren interjected the guardian stuff.

[dirtyklingon]

it's not all about you ted


anyways both sound like cool skills that could be utilized very nicely in pvp.

stay mesmer ted, we need mesmer like you to make us look fabulous and give us fashion tips.


you know the pure pvp stuff you get leveled to 80 with every thing unlocked right? except ofc full selection of weapons i guess lulz. not sure on that one.

Yea but you think those people complaining about that actually did all that you said, or did they go into WvW and just play.

[dirtyklingon]

most of hte pvp balance qq came from people who ONLY did the pure pvp part of the game as far as i could see.


ther ewas also lots of pve balance qq, in relation to leveling content. but again with that it was also baddies being baddies and either


not realizing they had a ranged option or refusing to use it. or not using distance closers(saw a guy qq melee had to actually run at mobs vs ranged)

or being unwilling to get out of melee range for cleaves/aoes, though in DE boss fight i can see why doing that might be dificult- but i saw alot of people being simply unwilling to do it/qqing they had to at all.

i mean i go play melee in wow or rift or swtor i don't qq i have to move out the way of bosses' aoes now do i?

and gw2 is all about supe rmobile combat and positioning nad all that nyerk or w/e...

so why would melee be be buffed so they can stand still and tank these aoes like that?


and what does that do to balance vs ranged?


i mean this isn't the full retard rift warriros vs ranged argument that it was unfair warriors had better dps and "heavy" armour.
