GA as a community is an awesome place. There are some good people on here, which covers the majority of the people. However, there seem to be a select few here who are just complete *kittens*
What I am about to say will make these *kittens* mad. I don't need to name any names; they will name themselves by their response to this. When they hear the truth, and it threatens their egos, they won't be able to help but reply with their typical egotistical crap.
So, here goes. I will point out the issues I am referring to and end it with a wrap up. I will try to keep it short and simple.
Guides....It seems there are some people who, when they see a guide that they don't find useful, assume that no one will find it useful.
Questions...Some seem to think that they have a right to tell people what questions they can post and what they can't post.
Skills...Some seem to think that certain skills are for "noobs" or that they are bad to use. Why? Because you don't like them? I'm sorry; did you buy everyone’s games? If not, then what gives you the right to tell people what they can and can't use? I paid almost $200 US for my 4 games. I earned all my skills. If I want to use something it's my business not yours.
Builds...See above rant
So to wrap this up. Those of you who seem to think that you are some sort of GW God, or Judge/Jury, just need to shut the *kitten* up, start worrying about yourself, and leave the decisions about this forum up to those who have been put in charge. If you don't like a question someone asks, then freakin ignore it. If you don't find a guide useful, move on to the next one. Don't tell me, or anyone else, what skills and builds I can use.
Bottom line, you are no better or lesser then anyone else in this game. I don't give a *kitten* if you have played since day one, have 30 maxed titles, and a 100 million XP. It doesn't make you s**t. Leave people alone and allow them to have the freedom they deserve to be a part of this community, free from listening to your BS.
That's my rant. If you don't like it, then good. It means you are one of the *kittens*

Studies show that 92% of teens listen to rap. If you are part of the 8% that listens to real music the add this to your signature.

I agree with it all.
Example is when someone posted about that cookie avg warning earlier as well as the google warning. I have seen that post at least 5 different times and I did not care that they posted about it. Yes they should of done a search but the remarks of some of the are right down rude and the mods do nothing.
I use to help out on a phpnuke support forum and we would get the same question at least 4 times a week. A simple search heck even looking in the category would of yielded the answer to their question. We heard it all before. All we did was point them to the thread that had the answer without getting bash about it.
I call it mod's little helpers syndrome. People who want to help but don't have the guidance to do it properly. Oh well not much you can do.

Every fruit basket has it's rotten apple.
In this case, every kennel has it's kittens.
I do agree that some peoples way to big egos and pride make the site less agreable, certainly for new people.
But hey, if you spent half your life on GW for the last 2 years, its hard to grasp that it's not something to be proud of.

I agree with most of what you say but not the way you express it...
If you are complaining about people and their ego, you need to really start looking at yourself.

bingo ^^
The fact you made the post contradicts what your saying straight away.
Well, this is the internet and everyone here has a platform to do whatever they want, just like you did above, and like i'm doing now. I dont think this is gonna get the people your aiming this at to get to enraged either.

Lol, the very essence of your post is that people cannot tell other people what they can or cannot say, right?
yet with your post, you are the one telling people what they can or cannot say.

Allot of things I say get shot down in flames so for me its tempting to agree with you. A comment should add something or be constructive. My comments seem to end up killing threads as for "you must use these skills" well I like to suggest skills I find useful or a good combo I found as to add to something someone has done. When people make a build I think its important to try the skills for themselves and try lots of combinations before settling on one that suits the individual I try the builds out for myself before commenting on a guide and I would like to consider my comments to be positive. However most of the time I believe that I am ignored.

Well, you're not being ignored this time. :P
And you're totally right; there's nothing wrong with constructive criticism. If people never tried things out for themselves (in this case, builds) and refrained from voicing their opinions, then we would never get anywhere in life. Just so long as it is made clear to be an opinion, and is not stated in a negative manner.

I assume, judging by your reaction to my rant against blockway, that by skills and builds you are referring to me amongst others.
To be honest, I've played the game at a competitive level a lot more than you have and have a lot more experience than you and as such have had more time to figure out which skills are good, which are bad, which promote active play, which promote passive play etc etc.
The problem stems from the passive skills like Aegis where you just fire it and forget. These skills promote more relaxed play and allow lower skilled players to compete amongst those with more skill. The best skills are the active skills like Guardian, Spirit Bond etc where the better you are with them, the better the reward you get from them. The more people use active skills, the better they get as a player. Of course, the passive skills are good, but each come with drawbacks aside from not actively improving player skill eg, wards only affect a small area, aegis has a long recharge and can be removed easily and interrupted easily etc etc. Of course, the better players can get better returns from these passive skills eg by cancelling aegis under glyph to bait out interrupts, but at the end of the day the skill is doing no more for them than for any other person who can activate it.
Sure, you have the choice to use whatever skills you want, just be prepared to be told that your build isnt good when it is packed with sub-optimal skills.

ahh I think your referring to this http://guildwars.gameamp.com/forum/showTopic/67262.php
well... rip enchantment, rend enchantments, envenom enchantment, order of apostasy and well of the profane I never leave home without at least one of those. as for other types of block http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Defile_Defenses
Yep thats 126 damage with a 5 second recharge time and archane echo means that stance tanks drop like flies.
and if I'm in the mood where I think my team mates can do damage with axes rigor mortis
As for the counters on other profs well glass arrows
umm ok let me try and do this in some kind of order
Warrior's Cunning
Otyugh's Cry
Seeking Arrows
Fox's Promise
Unseen Fury
Way of the Fox
Ghostly Weapon
Guided Weapon
Guiding Hands
Anthem of Guidance
Expose Defenses
I think dodge this is more of a pve skill but I'm not that big on pvp
oh and
Overbearing Smash
Magehunter Strike
Sun and Moon Slash
Pure Strike
Jaizhenju Strike
Soldier's Strike
Wild Blow
Arcing Shot
Crippling Shot
Crossfire
Magebane Shot
Precision Shot
Called Shot
Golden Fox Strike
Fox Fangs
Nine Tail Strike
Shattering Assault
Wild Strike
Swift Javelin
Unblockable Throw
Wild Throw
Irresistible Sweep
Yeah blocking is a pain if its all that a player does but there are skills that get overlooked that punish people who block. You could say there are skills that punish players who don't punish players who block.
It doesn't matter to me how long someone has been playing. It can be frustrating meeting a cookie cutter build when you don't have any counter for it knowing that they dont need the same reactions and understanding of the game but that they still win. I can understand why you don't like blocking if your primary damage is a chain of hitting people. Anyways not sure why I posted that people tend not to read my stuff much.

I do agree that, not just here on Amp, but in GW, as well, there is, at times, an overuse of "I'm better than you and don't have to explain myself." But, you know, as bad as it sucks, that's life and society in general.
Look, I may know a whole helluva a lot of a little bit, and I've been playing since Aug. (or Sept, don't rightly recall) of '05, and will never consider myself one who knows all. But, what I DO know, is that if a poster only responds by saying "Yeah, that won't work" and has to be badgered to explain, they have no business in responding in the first place. Period. No matter how "great" they are at this game.
"Oh, but it's the internet and a "free country" and if that's how I wanna post, then I will." If you wanna come across as a d.b., then, yes, that's your right. To me, the people who are "great" at this game do not just offer constructive criticism, but also do so in a manner that is less elite and more just wanting to genuinely help. If a commnity member hangs around only to bash at builds, posts, or what have you, that's a corrosiveness that is not needed here, in game, and in society. But, you can't wash 'em out without help. They tend to tip-toe the line of abusive criticism and flaming. It's sad but true.
GJ at challenging them and wanting that "I'm better than you" attitude to get sandblasted and letting them know that it's not welcome in your eyes.

well... rip enchantment (your basically spiking yourself and it means taking a necro which forces you to run some sort of gimmick since they cant really do much), rend enchantments (long recharge, long cast time), envenom enchantment (long recharge, much more efficient ways of causing poison), order of apostasy (requires a lot of melee to be effective otherwise is a waste of an elite slot) and well of the profane(needs them to be dead, if theyre dying already, we dont need the well) I never leave home without at least one of those. as for other types of block http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Defile_Defenses
Yep thats 126 damage with a 5 second recharge time and archane echo means that stance tanks drop like flies. (This is about the only one worth using, but it needs a necro with hexes and then a 2nd hexer otherwise his hexes are too easy to remove)
and if I'm in the mood where I think my team mates can do damage with axes rigor mortis (again huge recharge)
As for the counters on other profs well glass arrows (glass arrows is way too narrow, its a spike skill at heart, and theres no reason to give up the utility of cripshot or magebane and its the Ws we need to be hitting stuff anyway)
umm ok let me try and do this in some kind of order
Warrior's Cunning (recharge time, and lose utility on the bar)
Otyugh's Cry (you must be joking right?)
Seeking Arrows (apply poison is far greater pressure, and this isnt going to help our Ws)
Fox's Promise (needs an assassin which deals less damage than a W and is more fragile and easy to remove)
Unseen Fury (long recharge, way too conditional)
Way of the Fox (long recharge, easy to remove)
Ghostly Weapon (requires a lot of spamming, and warmongers or splinter are much more useful)
Guided Weapon (costs too much, too long cast time, again, worse than warmongers and splinter)
Guiding Hands (lose utility on a W bar or run a dervish - the only actual viable option)
Anthem of Guidance (if were running a paragon, its taking defensive anthem, crippling anthem or cruel spear. This is vastly inferior to those)
Expose Defenses (long recharge, hex)
I think dodge this is more of a pve skill but I'm not that big on pvp
oh and
Overbearing Smash (if theyre not dead after crushing blow, they wont have weakness on them anymore)
Magehunter Strike (is much weaker than Eviscerate or Dragon Slash)
Sun and Moon Slash (no room on a sword bar for this unfortunately)
Pure Strike (if im using this, im not in frenzy or rush, which is bad)
Jaizhenju Strike (if im using this, im not in frenzy or rush, which is bad)
Soldier's Strike (no room on a W bar, and requires attributes put into tactics)
Wild Blow (if you take a dervish, yes, but a W needs his adrenaline)
Arcing Shot (ive never seen this shot hit anyone due to its huge arc)
Crippling Shot (this is already in the team, and how is this meant to help a W hit?)
Crossfire (again, no help to a W)
Magebane Shot (again, no help to a W, but is a viable alternative to cripshot)
Precision Shot (easily interrupted? and theres no room for it on a ranger bar)
Called Shot (no room on a ranger bar and has no utility)
Golden Fox Strike (everyone knows the unblockable assassin attacks, they involve having an assassin which is weaker than a W)
Fox Fangs (everyone knows the unblockable assassin attacks, they involve having an assassin which is weaker than a W)
Nine Tail Strike (everyone knows the unblockable assassin attacks, they involve having an assassin which is weaker than a W)
Shattering Assault (this is viable, but it lowers your overall damage output against non-blockway teams)
Wild Strike (everyone knows the unblockable assassin attacks, they involve having an assassin which is weaker than a W)
Swift Javelin (paragon bars are too crowded already)
Unblockable Throw (paragon bars are too crowded already)
Wild Throw (does see some use, but doesnt deal with the problem that our Ws cant hit)
Irresistible Sweep (way less pressure than all the other attack skills on a derv's bar)
Yeah blocking is a pain if its all that a player does but there are skills that get overlooked that punish people who block. You could say there are skills that punish players who don't punish players who block.
It doesn't matter to me how long someone has been playing.

You see, the problems with these skills is that they are far too narrow and pretty much useless except against blockway. Theres no reason at all to gimp yourself against other builds just to face that one. My answers to each skill are in bold.

yeah everybody paid for his game blablabla but this is online and competetive, meaning u can't get far on ur own. it's about teamplay
not seen anybody saying OMG NOOB U CANT USE THAT SKILL I FORBID YOU
what i must say is that there are many useless and crap skills, aswell as many bad builds. now if u support these, and by doing so u make other people stand out as arrogant or superior just because they have more knoledge about it then that's quite unfair if u start whining about them and point it out to everybody.
u have the right to say which skills are bad and try to change that person's ideas about it to prevent another noob from invading pvp with their noobiness as there are too many around already. sure maybe some bad skills can be used with some random shitty pve build which has close to no use but the real purpose is competetive play on a higher level / niveou (or however u say it in english)
not everything is always balanced and not everybody is always happy with actions of other players if it affects them negatively...so in some kind of way it IS ur bussiness , talking about people around you.

Well to Stan point I would have to agree to some extent. Another example are the screenshots. There is almost always one person who has something bad to say like "I've seen this before." Or nice skillbar noob. What is the point of that really? It serves no purpose.
Guides/builds - I like to think I give constructive criticism. If a build is bad not only do I say it is inneffective I make recomendation on how to change it. Simply saying this sucks noob, or that skill is no good is about as helpful as a frenzy mending warrior in RA. IF you don't have something constructive to say then I would rather you didn't post.
As for the blockway thing, stop complaining about not being able to counter a build. That would be like me saying this
I hate those cripshot builds they are really annoying to play against becuase they keep slowing me down. I can't hit you if I can't catch you its not fair. Or maybe something like this I hate those offensive melee teams they keep hitting me and wont stop. I don't think they should bring so many attack skills that way I could win. Get over yourself and either come up with a counter or push through. Blockway is stopable with some key interupts on spells that are fairly easy to interupt/divert.
Complaining about builds is cyclic. First it was Iway, then it was the bloodspike, then Searing flames, then spiritway........ there is always going to be an annoying build out there but that doesn't make it any less viable. If it is successful then it will persevere (touch ranger, Iway...).

I don't really get annoyed by repetitive Topics, such as the cookie thingy and such. It's just that many of us have been here for so long that we're bound to run up into old issues every now and then. Many of those people who psot about that stuff are new here. And IMO it just seems ludacris to tell 'em to go search through the thread archive for the answer that got posted 2 weeks/months/years ago. O.o
That's all I'm gonna say. Otherwise I'm just gonna get banhammered, if I start to shout out my opinions. xD

I wouldn't say bring the whole lot with you lol. yes there are better skills (for a different purpose). I wasn't talking about a different purpose I was talking about your problem defeating a blockway team.

Well I'm going to come at it from my perspective and as a necro skills I have counter things you cant (or to be more accurate don't want to). Ideally you would take a mesmer which leaves me out in the cold when it comes to pvp I have no problems with warriors.

Necros can run some really fun stuff that can mess with people and do it by just using one attribute instead of 3
First Spike assist
Weaken armor - great for assisting a spike
Barbs - great support again for sin or Para spikes 11 extra damage per hit
Enchantment removal - so many options
gaze of contempt
Rend enchantment
Rip enchantment
chiblians
defense disruption
Vocal minority - really messes with the paragon spike
OoA - great for those pesky defensive team with an aegis chain
ulcerous lungs - another anti-shout skill
Well of silence
These are just some of the support spells a necro can run and this is just one attribute. So don't count them out completly as just a gimmick character. Running an anti-melee necro is also very effective.

Weaken armor - great for assisting a spike
Barbs - great support again for sin or Para spikes 11 extra damage per hit
Enchantment removal - so many options
gaze of contempt
Rend enchantment
Rip enchantment
chiblians
defense disruption
Vocal minority - really messes with the paragon spike
OoA - great for those pesky defensive team with an aegis chain
ulcerous lungs - another anti-shout skill
Well of silence
These are just some of the support spells a necro can run and this is just one attribute. So don't count them out completly as just a gimmick character. Running an anti-melee necro is also very effective. |
Most of those skills are hexes. Unless you want to waste the character, you'll need another character with a bunch of hexes to capitalize on the hex removal being spread thin. If you dont do that, the important hexes will be cleaned up straight away.

That's because they are, there are some skills that are vastly inferior to others as well as skills which serve no real purpose, have a very narrow use or are just not viable. If you post a build then you should expect criticism of it. IF I suggest changing skill sI'm not saying that you have to run a build but that you could be more effective. You can run w/e you want and will probs get away with it in NM PvE but if you want to do well at a higher level then you may need to adapt.

ok 2 hexes but the damage done on a spike should mean that hex removal and healing at the same time, :/ a bit more work
Enchantment removal - so many options
gaze of contempt
Rend enchantment
Rip enchantment
chiblians
ok none of those are hexes :D

Yep we got two more hexes so thats 4 being most of 11 as for people lifting hexes :/. in my experience people just arent that good at taking hexes off. A mes can lift hexes pretty good but 1 second cast time on most hex removal the damage is done 75% of the time. Sure necro is not popular in pvp try finding pvp builds for necro people just don't like them. I like them.

I'm pretty sure necro's aren't used much is because Hex Eater Vortex can turn anti-melee skills which are meant to help you into skills which hinder yor backline, also with the buffs to the mes anti-melee skills which have a more immediate effect necro's have become outclassed.

necro time is over in high end gvg, not seen a necro except heroway+spike in a looong time... they're just too easy to interupt and can't do much tbh except a few hexes which don't do real dmg because they get removed so fast and some crappy minions which are pretty much useless ;p

much agreaments.
and i think that people do need to learn how to give constructive critisism not just plain critisism.(spelling sucks:))
some people may be overf sensitive but i do think that mods on this site should get stricter.
but we gotta look at this people. we have never had GM's and thats given us lots more freedom in this game than most but we need to be careful that we dont get that bad we do need them.
as for the egotistical people there all right if they keep it to themselves or have a right to be like that. say if they actually do give proper advice or critisism.
but otherwise...
so yea thats cool.
