I'm excited about 1.9

I agree with your statement. Doesn't mean that the context of Culan's statement is wrong. The gear disparity is far greater in the 50 bracket than it is in the lower level WF's (non-grandfathered items of course). Because not only can the stats be absolutely higher, you also have the PA system further widening that gap.

Eh, I just find that if you look at your situation, take it by the horns and hump it your opponent into submission, you are usually fine. : )

Almost like there are people who think max level pvp is about skill rather than gear.

It inherently requires more skill because you've got more abilities to manage.

Depends on the class. Sometimes, you just get more of the same sort of ability (yay, more targeted blinks), or more things to put in your macro. An unfortunate reality. :3

50 PVP is never going to take less skill than anything sub-50.
Bar everything you at least get the two active PVPA abilities, and one would hope that even in the case of Warriors or NB/RS, you still get a few abilities you can't throw into a macro.

WTF are macros??

Seriously though, I do use macros but the majority of my abilities are not. Sure some classes are better with macros but it takes more to a class than smashing macros, if you can't beat a person smashing macros then I don't know what to tell you. Normally you can tell a good player out of a team because of their use of abilities in different situations, LoS, situational awarness, and all around good team work.


TACOS!!!!

Well, we're just going to have to disagree with that.

I can agree that, in aggregate, they're going to require more "skill" (if we're defining awareness of having more potential buttons to push as notable skill), but I can think of a few builds that kind of plateau in difficulty early on and/or get easier with more passives/things in a macro.

They plateau, but they'll never dip. I just said that it would never be easier, not that the level is higher.

Fair enough.

But maybe pyro. ;)

If you are excited about getting hit on your PvP gear, then why the hell do twinks have anything to do with you?

Curious.

Just in case this is in riddle form you could have a main 50 and a level locked toon/other aspiring alts. I don't care, I'm just sayin'.

1.9 is going to change nothing! Just wait for 6/26 and enjoy real pvp!

There are a lot of times that I do not wear my full set of pvp gear and still tear apart warfronts. When I say that I don't wear my gear I mean that I'm in such a drunken state that I forget to equip my gear but I still tear apart warfronts. I also do not have HK 4 piece or ID gear. Am I good, no, but it does say that gear isn't everything in this game. Hell if a warrior comes up againt a good MM no matter the gear disparity, the warrior should not touch the MM once. The skill can be there its getting players to get off their lazy ***** to be motivated enough to learn their **** class instead of complaining. Instead they have this illusion that they are good, but since they stood there and got their face pounded in that it MUST be the gear and only the gear that made the difference in the fight.


Good players will make the game work for them, they will take what is there and adapt and over come. Most on the other hand will not accept their own flaws and instead want the game to bend over backwards for their needs.

This reminds me, sometimes I go into warfronts with my pvp/tank gear (for the experts and doing some decent tank aoe damage[I get bored and full tank gear is too much for experts anyways]) and still do decently.

That's because purging doesn't need gear to be better.

I was referring to the badass p40 PvPers that are happy twinks are gone, doesn't make sense to me.
I mean Twinks did annoy me a tad with their PvP stuff in the PvP forum, but that was just because I would try to help someone (that never said they were a twink) and to my response would reply. "Im a twink you nub!" =(

Actual in game though, I couldn't care less about a twink.

If they exist cool, if they don't w/e

Oh you mean where guilds will form premades and still roll baddies, where zergs will determine the out come? A good player makes the game work for them and will use what is there to their advantage, once people get rolled by good players in GW2 they won't have any legs to stand on and cry "Gear disparity!" they will only be able to either cry about class imbalances or just face the fact that they suck or their team sucked. People alling GW2 real pvp is silly since real pvp would have REAL risks for facing off with an opponent like heavy death penalties or lootable corpses. But hey wtf do I know, I'm just a Rift pvpr who apparently is a fake pvpr. : )

Tacos, tacos... /sagenod
