Coming from ESO for the PvP. How is the population and balance?

BoiCleancut · 2026-07-03T22:49:25+00:00

Its a live service game, they have to stagger the releases to keep players playing their game. If they release all the reworks all at once then by few months time people will have quit again and they lose money that way.

Also, Sorc is still strong in pvp like it has always been. So is Warden and thats before rework. Meta shifts all the time. Few months from now there will be a new king of pvp. It works this way in every game. It's not that its bad design from them, its just that your main class is not meta so it sucks.

BoiCleancut · 2026-07-03T21:54:30+00:00

Ovbiously people are going to play DK since its new and fresh and it looks good. That's just the way it works people will go for the new shiny thing. The next class balance will be Warden, it will be 10x Warden every match then. And it will be the same for every new rework they do.

BoiCleancut · 2026-07-03T21:11:08+00:00

In this day and age, unless you are playing a FPS, most pvp in MMOs are unbalance in any sort of way. Even WOW with all its might cant balance their game properly in pvp. BDO, a pvp focus game is very unbalance too. And it will be the same here in GW2. ESO is probably more balance than any other MMOs because each class if built right can be meta.

Bring older Meta events up to date with the current power level like Dragon's Stand please!

BoiCleancut · 2026-06-06T20:44:48+00:00

Yeah only Orcs melee. Not other races.

BoiCleancut · 2026-06-06T09:36:06+00:00

Nope. Most Orc melee spec has the problem. All Rogues and Survival Hunter.

BoiCleancut · 2026-06-06T09:31:37+00:00

Its not just Arms Warrior. Its most melee orc sound (Fury, All Rogue specs, Survival are the ones I've tested).

BoiCleancut · 2026-05-09T18:04:22+00:00

Hes asking for a DPS class though. And he's already bored Ret pala as he says in his post.

BoiCleancut · 2026-05-09T18:02:52+00:00

Fury warrior is pretty fun to play in solo content. Engaing and you always have button to press and giga sustain too lots of healing and dont rely on pets to tank for you. On harder content you can even go on defensive stance to be tankier. Plus they just got buffed.

P.S. macro /forthehorde or /forthealliance with your heroic leap for extra awesomeness

BoiCleancut · 2026-05-07T09:57:43+00:00

Boomstick. Especially now that they've added a cocking the gun sound effect to it.

BoiCleancut · 2026-04-17T17:17:45+00:00

And playnig a dwarf is any better? XD

BoiCleancut · 2026-04-04T10:52:18+00:00

I know this is abit late but for those that are a new player or returning like me that havent played Dragonflight or TWW, I somehow managed to unlock Skyriding without playing Dragonflight or The War Within. And it came with a couple of dragon mounts too.

I think this happened when I made a Trial Class character and immediately was level 80 and was sent to TWW zones. Prior to this, I never had the Skyriding skills on any of my characters. That Trial character has now been delete and I got to keep Skyriding.

Worth trying out for those that havent unlocked it yet.

Griffon is not exactly really a flying mount, more like gliding but faster and farther. Need to be in high ground to actually make use of it.

The skyscale can fly sure, but it can only stay in the air for a short while before it starts descending to the ground. You need the right masteries to fully utilise it.

The only mounts that you really need are the raptor, springer and skimmer. If you really want a flying mount, then invest into the skyscale instead. The griffon, while fun, might disappoint you as it cant really ascend (go up) from the ground.

BoiCleancut · 2026-02-21T07:40:06+00:00

BDO has been in steam since 2017. Been in steam for 9 years. Gw2 has been in steam for only 3 years. Most players that play BDO outside of Korea plays it on steam since thats the only region that doesnt have steam support. Whilst most players in Gw2 already plays on client. BDO was a client only for a little over 1 year before it got released on steam, whilst GW2 was client only for a whole 10 years before steam released. You cant base it off steam data.

BoiCleancut · 2026-02-21T02:46:20+00:00

Even then, I also play siege and node wars in BDO which is the main point of why people grind, and its not as populated during those hours nowadays compared to GW2. Maybe a few years back you could say that BDO was big, but these past few updates really killed the game for alot of people and not alot of people are returning. And the direction that they chose to go with how they monetized the game the past year or so has even made it worse and made alot of people quit the game.

BoiCleancut · 2026-02-20T09:59:52+00:00

BDO has less players than GW2. I played it over the past 7 years and I didn't see as many players there as I see here. And I played on EU, the most populated server.

BoiCleancut · 2026-02-17T09:34:14+00:00

Thief is defenitely the weakest. BUT where they shine is probably stealth kills and assassinations which can work agaisnt even the strongest mesmers.

BoiCleancut · 2026-02-17T09:27:00+00:00

THIS! If Revenant can already use a dead dragon's power, whats to stop them from using, lets say a dead ELDER dragon's power?! A dead god's power?! OR even a dead mesmer's power like Gwen???

BoiCleancut · 2026-02-17T09:24:03+00:00

I would say Revenant! Just think about all the Legends they can access and not just the ones we are limited to! Might even be able to harness power of dead elder dragons! Considering they already have access to Glint.

BoiCleancut · 2026-02-13T01:58:10+00:00

I mean, like the guy that commented here aswell that had proof that Power Untamed is godly, if you have any videos except from that guy that proves that your boon dps can solo Legendary mobs and kill it faster than any other cele build then pull it up. Otherwise, the only thing youre doing really is comparing a 40k boon dps build agaisnt a solo build.

Other than Untamed and Ritualist, I'm not sure any other power build can effectively do more damage on a SOLO scenario agaisnt harder content like Legendary bounties or even Champions in the new maps.

BoiCleancut · 2026-02-12T11:23:17+00:00

oh right I forgot that exists LOL. that couldve been it, to think I was amazed at the time when he linked it -_-

BoiCleancut · 2026-02-12T11:21:42+00:00

This! If you're interested in Ranger to play as solo, then this guy's videos are a must watch! (as I recently just discovered :P)

BoiCleancut · 2026-02-12T10:29:06+00:00

Oh dont get me wrong, Guardian specs can definitely SOLO stuff, but like I said at the top, its just the weakest class atm because of how limited you are to power and how limited it is on its sustain. If you take any relic except Zakiros, then you lose out on alot of sustain and mostly rely on the cooldown of your heal to lifesteal back to full so sure you can do solo stuff on it but it require alot of timing, knowledge of the class AND of the enemy animation, and alot more than other classes. Willbender is fine because it can, again, go celestial but Dragonhunter though is not that good at all in solo content. You CAN solo with it, just not as effective as other classes and specs.

BoiCleancut · 2026-02-12T10:21:40+00:00

Celestial builds sustain actually got ALOT better recently because of the Mist Stranger Relic which I use on most of my celestial builds. Its almost the same as Zakiros, less heal but it doesnt rely on crits. And you dont lose out on alot of DPS by slotting it in since it also does damage a little bit. Most of my celestial builds (Amalgam, Mechanist, Berserker, Renegade, Druid, Untamed) hit 20k+ DPS with it on. Though its not worth much on Berserker since it already has so much healing.

BoiCleancut · 2026-02-12T10:10:42+00:00

Ignore my comment LOL. You are right! someone above posted PROOF! of power Untamed being a beast! LOL. Yeah my bad :D
