Hello, the build links that use the "Build Editor" website are not working even though I tried to update them. However, the build links through my Discord server are still working, so if you want to check out builds until the issue is fixed, make sure to join the Discord server and check the pinned messages in each class channel for build links and other stuff.
It really is silly that they didn't just split vindicator's trait effects. Giving it a pvp/wvw split (where it *was* overpowerforming to all hell), and a pve split (where it wasn't) would've been fine.
Was even more silly the assumption of that would affect significatively outzide of zergs. PvE build is almost as strong as before, and power PvP and WvW roaming builds doesn't even run that trait. But yes, they have should split the changes.
The intro about nerfing willbender is exactly how I imagined things at arenanet HQ. They must be super blind in there. Or just smoking some hardcore crack.
Loved it. Specially since both Teapot and Nike DNT mocked Vindicator and I argued with the later one that the cele builkd was still fine and probably still king of the hill at OW PvE since the nerf was minor and reacted histerically calling it "eviscerated, bad, a shadow of its forming self" and calling me "delusional" and "brain damaged", while I provided proofs of how strong still was vs bounties, hero points etc. lmao! I hate whe people make assumptions without checking the facts and then go radio silent due being dogmatic. Kudos for the honest work, Hizen.
I personally think Carnivore is strong enough that for Power untamed, you can use the +25% damage grandmaster easily now, even for difficult solo. You don't really need the healing after unleash as much anymore.
That's the great thing about untamed. It's so strong and has so many sustain options available to it, you can play it your way. It has great baseline sustain if you run maces as a swap to begin with, so you can solo champions with it fairly easily going all out on damage. I favor sword/axe for my swap and marksmanship, utilizing the synergy between relic of the midnight king, moment of clarity, and remorseless to generate might and vulnerability and just blast out massive damage. But I could swap marksmanship for either nature magic or wilderness survival to gain more sustain or I could keep marksmanship and swap Ferocious Symbiosis for Restorative Strikes. It also works with most weapons, so I could use hammer, axes, or even longbow. It all works!
It took me awhile to realise you were in fact, shanking THOSE frogs in the verdant brink. I thought it was pretty nice of Anet to nerf Mace damage but not Mace implacability. So literally nothing about Mace/Mace untamed's playstyle changed at all. You still facetank everything with stab while bonking. Except now you have to bonk for slightly longer(?). Wait a minute... I get to do more of my favourite activity for a bit longer? I think I can even argue it's a buff.
Hey Lord Hizen. Can the greatsword be used in your Vindicator build? I love the way the greatsword feels on vindi and the great versatility and survivability of the celestial gear.
Could you add the Crystal Oasis champ bounty Butch in your build showcases? I'd love to see your experience soloing Butch Bounty. I can never solo that bounty cuz of the ungodly amount of baby moas that Big Black Moa summons to fight with him. That damn BBM summons over 100 baby moas at least that's what it always looks like which makes it difficult for me to solo. I know you can solo Butch but I'd still love to see it as I've never managed to do it solo even with the help of your builds.
Yep, I haven't seen anyone soloing that one and my attermpts were always way out of time and barely surviving or just dying. I think that that one and the rabbit in Desert Highlands must be (almost) unsoloable (the rabbit isn't hard to kill, but spents so much time fleing away that it takes too much to kill taht little basterd).
@@Azuredevil Saw it. I have to try that bounty again since one of the main reasons it was that hard to kill was due untagging him made the cleave damage unable to hit Butch since there were so many minions around... The tactic of moving to bait Butch and retag him again could work with other builds; I have to try it.
Thanks for the builds, are they using celestial because it's the best in each case, or is the primary point here that you can use the same gear across multiple builds? Ie, are there BETTER stats to use for vindicator vs herald vs renegade? Thanks!
I honestly don't know how you do it, I copy your builds, the exact gear and I try to match your rotation but I still die insanely fast on even just champion enemies, I honestly think you're just so skilled that these builds aren't good in and of themselves, its just they are good because you are playing them.
Hi, I'm going insane here... Being still fairly new to the game, I'm trying to figure out all the boons and buffs and auras and enhancements one can bring to the field. Watching the Ranger section right now and there's a white + with a sectioned circle around it next to the item enhancement, armor reinforcement and so on. What buff is that?
It is good that Revenant is still great for damage and sustain. My only problem is that I don't like mace and axe. I want power builds to have decent damage and sustainability for solo champions, but arenanet won't allow that.
Power Vindi with gs + swords is my fav OW PvE build but sadly is not even halgf as goof as the celestial build. I'm still happy since can play cele in PvE and run power in PvP and some roaming (yet at roaming cele is still stronger).
You should give Sword Mace power untamed a shot. the sword ambush skill with Carnivore will lifesteal nearly 7K and pairs very well with offhand mace. The stun on Mace 5 will then let you hit the sword 2 skill for the most dmg it can
I'v got a really fun Mace/Sword - Sword/Axe, Shiro/Mallyx core build i like to roam around open world pve with. Geomancy/Doom/Hydromancy/Mischeif sigils across weapons. Full Grieving stats with Berserker rune. Akeem or Ice Relic. Corruption 3/1/1, Devastation 1/3/1 (or 1/3/3 if you like the minor life steals from Battle Scars), Invokation 1/2/3. Always remember to swap legend before weapon, but do so milliseconds apart and you explode aoe. Phase Trav, Mace 2, Swapbomb, Sword 2, and you'll kill pretty much any veteran or lower. Going pack to pack for drops and watching the shiny explosion is fun. But its survivability is low and depends on your kiting capability.
pistols, because shortbow isnt condi. all the condi damage you saw in the previous video is from the jade mech. shortbow is only maintain all boons uptime to you and jade mech and 25 stacks of vulnerability to deal more damage.
@@Sevastokratos i tried grenades in solo scenario, the damage is almost the same but the DPS rotation to achieve that damage is more intense compare to shortbow and mace/pistol mechanist builds. Thats why i didnt promote grenades for open world especially for new players.
Lord what about using sword/warhorn instead of mace/warhorn for power untamed? Sword ambush has a daze and if you use the new chak pet instead of jacaranda he also dazes+lightning field which can become a dazing strike through sword 2 and 3, this would get another 4 ways to proc carnivore and sword has more damage than main hand mace. So the set would be sword/warhorn + mace/mace.
Cool.. My Vindicator can't even face tank veteran mobs. Can anyone tell me which elite specialization is the "easiest" for solo play? So far, core Revenant has seemed the easiest when it comes to survival.
Mechanist. The pet is a good tank, has higher damage than the revenant and is much easier. On a dummy, a revenant can show more damage numbers (cele builds), but in a real open world against bosses, he will often catch CC and the damage will be less than that of a mechanist, for whom a pet tanks, and he deals damage without interference.
damn and I thought that the cele untamed I made was decent enough, but I need like 8 min to kill a single champion and you kill them in under 1 min... I rly fucked it up somewhere. oO
Power Bladesworn is strong but hard to play because charges most of the damage in the Dragon attacks so you have to known very well the fights to not miss; also if you go for Immortal Dragon you have great sustain but less damage and no cc, whereas Unyielding Dragon is stronger and has cc but much lower sustain. The celestial Berserker build is maybe a tad weaker but has more sustain and is easier to play.
iam still wondering who is the genius who said hey lets nerf imperial impact on pve ,i just cant understand why man , the oneeee trait on vidi that was giving something cool , its like vindicator cant have nice things , just erase it already ffs anet
Was no reason for vindicator boon extend to be stripped, split pve/wvw/pvp skills apart. Cal and Roy are useless class dev's, buff their mains f over the rest.
Probably was due in WvW large zerg meta the the boon ball with 4 support x squad with Vindi was near unkillable. But I don't think the changes will affect the meta, anyway (in the sense that even if Vindi is replace the combo will still be 4 suppots + 1 dps).
Guarding is overperforming ArenaNet: I sleep Any other class is slightly overperforming ArenaNet: BRINGE'TH ME THE NERF-GUN! As a guardian-main I find this double hilarious
The game has very good pvp! However, if you have a high IQ and win very easily, you will be accused of using a program and you will be suspended lol, You cannot press too quickly with speed or repeat competitive pvp too much lol, and there is no way to prove otherwise. what they talk about is. end lol

Lord Hizen deserves a custom title: "Lord Hizen walking amongst mere gamers"
At this point in GW 2's life it would cost them nothing to reward anyone who has the patience to make content about the game.

The moment I've seen that "patch", I knew I'm gonna hear "FOR NO REASON!" soon.

We need more hizen, pls anet release more content for us see hizen do they job 😢
pls no, i dont enjoy dealing with anet "balancing" on every patch :(
@LordHizen they are going to start including in the patch notes "just to spite Hizen here is arbitrary nerf/buff to force a build change"
Darkrazor's for Renegade is so nice during difficult fights, indeed. Pretty big fan of the changes.
Your intros are usually great, this one is outstanding.

One could say they got bend to the will.
Thanks so much for this!
Thought there might have been a power harbinger build since it got a buff. Looking forward to seeing if it’s viable.
Im a Tempest and 1:00 is very accurate
Thanks very much for the update.
A new tier list anytime soon? ^^

Kudos for the honest work, Hizen.
which build do u use? exactly the linked one here?
Lord Hizen has dropped a video. The awesomeness of the builds will be shown
Hey, wanted to try out mesmer, and it seemed Mirage was very strong for open world. Is it dead since your last tier list 5 months ago?
Nope, it’s still great
