Can we have videos without techno music in the background? I'd rather listen to the sounds of the battle or at the very least decent music( only a single video so far had pleasant music - Beethoven - )

I think you should just change your name to nerf Warriors, buff Elementalists and get it over with.

This was just some footage I nabbed during the stress test.  Its the first Video I've ever made, and the footage I got wasn't all the best.  Next BWE I'll have a lot more footage and several tutorials dropping.

Hello, im an elementalist recently turned traitor to mesmer. I've found the playstyle suits me much more so, here's a video in hopes that it can help anyone who questions survivability/viability of a mesmer in multiple situations, it's simply unedited footage of me playing my mesmer in BWE2. It was actually towards the end of my first day playing a mesmer, I just had so much fun with the class, the build was actually made to support my spvp tourney team, the solo playability was just a nice side perk




sorry for the 480p

Enjoy! Even with all the awesome feedback I've received on the last video, I'm still personally about 100% more satisfied with the outcome of my work this time around Thanks to everyone for the awesome support I've been getting, and as always be sure to subscribe, rate, and comment!

Let me know what you think of the new editing style. Do you like it? Is it too much?



Working on a commentary for the bleeds build, will do one for the instagib one as well.

Showing the updated greatsword warrior build & some group PvP action with it (Frenzy GS build is awesome for tournaments in Forest Map!)


Here is a new PvP burst spec I came up with, it's called 'Double Eviscerate' and is using 3 axes and a shield:

bleeds and instagib

10/0/0/30/30 for bleed
mug
fleet of foot, vigorous recovery, quick recovery
uncatchable, trickster, hastened replenishment
geomancer/earth sigils, undead runes, carrion amulet
infiltrator's signet, roll for initiative, devourer venom


30/30/0/0/10 for backstab/instagib
mug, dagger training, panic strike
side strike, fast signets, signets of power
flanking strikes
intelligence/doom sigils, eagle runes, berserker amulet
signet of shadows, assassin signet, infiltrator signet

instagib gets shut down in tourneys but it's fun for pub play
if you are good with the "bleed" spec, you'll be unkillable with all the dodges

use withdraw heal with both, it's the best heal thieves have

[Selmu]

Very good vid.

Hey - I did a bit of tournament play on my guardian with a few friends (We only had 4 people at the time, had to find some random person to fill the spot) and played through a series on the beta.

I got footage from the 3rd game (final).  I was a defensive point controller, as evidenced by the video

One of the few people i actually subscribed and monitor to watch, good vid, not bad. Nice music, some improvements on gameplay can be made, but that applies to all of us

Overpowered warrior build due to combination of the same weapons in both weapon slots:

Good demonstration of thieves being more then just those unload spamming robots I've encountered during that weekend.

Looking forward for more.

How viable do you think this build is in competitive play?  Personally, I don't.  I haven't faced an instagib Thief and instagib warrs didn't fare very well against my stun break.  Also, when a good defender defends a node how sure can you take him out?  Because that's your only purpose for the build no?  Capping point that is.

care to elaborate on "improvements to my gameplay" aside from the few random flukes where shadowstep didn't actually put me to my target?

the instagib build does not fare well at all against competitive teams. we faced alpha collective at one point during the beta during one of the only matches i tried using instagib and they kicked it into the ground...all their players built for sustain and any toughness stacking results in little to no damage coming from backstab, even with signets of might and all your signets popped, including assassin signet.

if you notice in the video, the fights where i completely wrecked people were the ones where i used the bleed/mobility build (which has 2 stunbreaks, i lol at warriors now). i was completely untouchable. but there's cleanses for that too, there isn't really any thief build that is good in the end, and i think that's why thieves are so underpowered compared to other classes...just my thought though.

Yes, 2 stun breaks is a must against warrs.  I also laugh at them when they bull charge me and instantly get feared.  But I digress.  I too do agree with the Thief being underpower after the recent nerfs.  Surprisingly the only good Thief I've faced was the one using Flanking Strikes.  Yes, Flanking Freaking Strikes.  He uses it in combination with a lot of stealths.  I doubt that he'll get me the second time without the surprise factor but it got me pondering for minute or two when after looking at my deathcap.  The only build that should work on theory is Crit/Cond with 3-4 Sigils of Superior Earth.  Even with the Nerf to Shortbow Cluster Bomb you can still stacks 5-6 bleeds in one use with Sigils because all the scatter shots can still hit 1 target.  They can no longer deal more than 3 stacks of bleed to a single target but with all the Crits you can input 5-6 stacks easily.

i never actually tried a hybrid build...don't know why either. definitely gonna have to try to use it to get the most out of shortbow.

We went full nerding this weekend, i’ve recorded many hours of gameplay. I will upload them in the next days, stay tuned.

Merged with existing video thread. Also, we have a recruitment forum. It isn't this one.

It's the only way of doing a condition build.  You can double your bleed stacking ability.  Imagine Unload with all the Crits and Bleeds.  Trait for both vulnerability and cripple per Crits and you can negate people removing your stacks with their 1 condition removal skills.  This is what truly makes Crit/Cond viable.

[Leaping Death Blossom]

Good video. Although I prefer full matches to montages and casting to music. Did you have any problems with your bleed build against opponents with strong condition removal?
