You have 75% crit rate? My mesmer had like 16...

I think a few classes need to be reined in (I read balancing hasn't been done).
- Thief
- Warrior
- Ranger

At this point, you just mash button, swap weapon, mash button and win. Most of the time don't even need to swap weapon. those 8k crit 9k crit from not doing anything extra.

If mesmer want 9k crit, we have to make 3 clones, then they have to run to you and shatter on you. You can nullify it by just auto swing. or just run away from it. All 3 have hit you and have to crit to hit that high damage. Other than that, all our other buttons hit like wet noodle.

I always also seems to be perma slowed by cripple, I would run away and after 10 seconds outta combat and I'm still walking super slow cos of that cripple.

9k crit at the cost of having 10k health. This means you can oneshot but get oneshotted. Not as easy as you think.

9k is actualized damage (and is the top of the range, highly unlikely to be scored successively). Theoretical damage goes up to 25k on test dummies.

well this is warrior rifle build for competitive pvp
http://gw2.luna-atra.fr/skills_tool/?lang=...k1l1l272a2g2k2u
amulet = +power +precision +critical dmg
armor rune = +critical dmg, +precision
weapon sigil = +5% to critical

with gun mastery which reduces rifle skills recharge by 20%, rifle skill aimed shot which cripples recharge is 10 seconds, so i guess it would be 8 seconds then.

aim shot cripples target for 5 seconds, so wait another 3 seconds can do aimed shot again to cripple for 5 seconds lagi.

with this traits, armor rune, amulet, the base critical chance is 61% as shown in hero panel, 9% from heightened focus trait at stage 3 of adrenaline, thus becoming 70% then +5% from weapon so i guess it is 75% lor.

downside is, me warrior health only got 18.9k. once i started taking hits, i will attempt to withdraw lulz. if they gang bang me i sure dai one.

eh where to find test dummies? O_O

lol, wai u spent too much time in pvp and didnt go look around. it's in the mist. aka the golems.

hahaha okies thanks. well i played competitive pvp until i got 4k glory liao ahha.

i had fun shooting ppl mar lulz.

You can only get one shotted by certain classes, definitely not all. I'm not sure how comfortable ANET with this, because I imagine people will cry nerf (prolly already crying nerf on the official forums). Not fun being 1-2 shotted.

Added on May 1, 2012, 11:13 pmRemember, cripple/some conditions stacks with duration, it doesn't replace with the latest cripple duration.

You keep stacking and it gets longer and longer and longer.

Seems like warrior is easier to play.
Spam few button and u get the job done.. unlike ele, have to keep changing F1-F4 to get proper spell to counter other classes..

Warrior at most, just swap weapon

Yea I wanted to do mesmer or ele (leaning towards mesmer cos I love me some pretty butterfly effects, huge psylocke fan), then I tried ele in WvW and it sealed the deal.

Ele you really have to be familiar and comfortable with all your buttons and pick the right one to use. I'm kinda the panicky kind so if I switch wrong attunement, I'm f***ed.

well, i hope anet balance them professions, skills properly. not fun when favorite build got nerfed lulz.
as for being 1-2 shotted, i guess that is expected if one is playing squishy classes?

health:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Health
Professions | Base health, level 80 | Base health+vitality, level 80
Warrior, Necromancer | 9,212 | 18,372
Engineer, Ranger, Mesmer | 5,922 | 15,082
Guardian, Thief, Elementalist | 1,645 | 10,805

armor:
heavy: warrior, guardian
medium: engineer, ranger, thief
light: mesmer, necromancer, elementalist

by default, elementalist has lowest health and light armor, so i think they are probably the profession with highest probability to be 1-2 shotted by cunning thieves? O_O

well, crippled stacks in duration while bleeding stacks in intensity though.

well yeah, my rifle warrior, i spam 1 - 5 skills saja. healing when hurt, swap to hammer when they come close and try to vengence if downed.

I bought a new keyboard and it confused me.. Bout a g105 and , it has macro key on the left hand side which making my senses confused...
sigh..

Totally put a scotch tape on it.. I want to give melee class a try this month.

I tested necro, ranger, mesmer and ele.. Like ranger and ele.
Prefer ele over ranger as of now.

^ how squishy is elementalist ooo?
how much health do u haz?

can i still get to play beta if i prepuchase now? the beta is only for weekends issit, normal day leh?

yes if you pre purchased guild wars 2
https://buy.guildwars2.com/

then u can participate in may's beta weekend event in which i think should held at the end of may.
probably 26 - 28 may our time.


hmmm i did not get to try out kill shot burst skill for my critical rifle warrior build
http://gw2.luna-atra.fr/skills_tool/?lang=...f0ke3e4f8f91l27

armor rune = eagle, +precision, +critical dmg
weapon sigil = +critical chance 5%
amulet = +power +precision +critcal dmg

must try it in next beta !!!

1 weekend in each month. Not every weekend. So if you buy now still have to wait 4 weeks for next BWE.

err whats the fun still need to wait so long ar

um... it's called beta.

Weekend betas is to make the feedback more focus(imagine same bug feedbacks everyday for a few weeks, lol), Anet did it for GW1 last time, some other game companies also emulate this type of beta later on, it takes resources to run betas, like preparing servers for the flooding of players(read somewhere in MMORPG.com where they had 50 servers for this beta), and people to monitor it.

and yet ppl keep raging bout the beta, like the login problem and all.. XD
most ppl just fails understanding that it was a beta test.

I used beta weekend to find a class and race i really like so i can commit to it when it is released

So far char flamethrower is now sticking to me

so now cannot play yet?
