Yeah i used abilities that drew conditions on ally(Plague Signet - it then transfers all conditions too target on use) too me as well as the poisonous cloud AoE as well combine that with the Scepter/Dagger combo and Epidemic (spread all conditions from target too nearby foes) made the build quality and also have the Plague elite

Just SO much fun too play with, i found the Minion based builds very boring. I had intended too play an Engi after the BWE3 but after playing the Stress Test and the engineer some more i found it too be meh the turrets were pretty meh. i do like the class but just didnt have as much fun as i did with the Thief, Ele and Necro they will be my starter classes

permasin ftw! made my 100b warrior totally useless lol, last time i made a fow run as mt i thinkthe entire team were sins lol. damn i can't w8 for gw2!

Yes sir, the pic

As i was typing i remembered the pic and thought..Hang on a second lol

Just about 1 hour until the stress test. Is anyone checking the servers already? I think they usually open it a little early. I'm stuck at work for 2 more hours.

Can't wait for this stress test.

I have a couple questions for you guys if you don't mind.

For the Necro, if I don't want a minion based build what weapon combo should I go to do massive DoT spells and such?

What weapon combo are you guys using for Ele that you found works best for sPvP?

Are Rangers actually any good? I was going to try it a little more this test, but i'm not really a "pet class" kinda guy. Would I like this class based on that?

What? Engrish

I enjoyed axe/dagger or dual dagger on Necro. Dual dagger or scepter/dagger are great on Ele. Haven't done much with Ranger

Scepter is currently the go-to condition weapon for Necromancers.

Elementalist weapon sets are very strong and most fit in the current sPvP load out. D/D is highly mobile single target burst, where Scepter/dagger is still mobile but offers a bit more utlity + aoe burst. Staff has been getting a decent showing from some teams as a support Ele as well. As most things, pure preference based on playstyle, counters & synergy.

As far as not liking pets but enjoying ranger...I'd say it could go either way as the pets function isn't just set it and forget it. Since you can swap pets in combat it would be treated more as an active thing to do based on needs(as each pet brings something different). Ranger is pretty strong, as most current iterations of the classes are. Give it a go today and see how it turns out! I've played the 'ranger/hunter' style classes before while not enjoying having a pet but it wasn't too bad.
