Hey Homaged! Great vid man! I discovered your channel a few weeks ago and I was ecstatic to find such a well detailed, commented and explanatory PvP channel for my revenant. You actually made me a better player and I can play GS revenant now as opposed to sitting on shortbow… I got a bit worried though since the last video you posted was on a Spellbreaker (I also play warrior) but it’s great to see you back on the rev in this one! Keep up the good work and also, are there any ways to support you outside of Liking, Subscribing and posting your vids in my discord? I genuinely think you deserve more man.

[@homage3]

Wow this is the best comment ever I really appreciate the support ! I'm really glad to hear you've improved from stuff you've seen in my videos. I really don't make videos for money so I don't have a patreon or anything like that. So your support of my videos is plenty! Feel free to add me in game or on discord if you ever wanna play some time :)

Subbed, great video definitely a nicer listen than almost any active streamer ^^

[@Buran01]

Power Herald was my fav PvP/WvW spec in the game until the pre-SotO nerfs, but after that I've not been able to play Herald again. Is not just that si worse thn Vindi but that Vindi has the tools to deal with modern PvP (as increased mobility and good condition cleanses) whereas Herald and Renegade are anchored in the past.

[@homage3]

Agreed!

[@Toki1908]

A proper PvP channel yes

[@homage3]

Thanks very much!

[@JustinFike]

I'd enjoy some kind of capture the flag mode where carrying the flag disables your weapon skills but gives you a set of buff/shout type skills so that the team needs to escort and defend the flag carrier to get them back to their base, and the flag carrier could play a sort of quarterback role to support the team while they run.

[@Darkpirox]

Thanks for the update sir!!

[@horstgunter1558]

e-dubble ❤ also great vid :D love your channel and chill commentaries

[@homage3]

@@horstgunter1558 makes me happy when people recognize e dubble all these years later! Thanks for leaving a comment:)

[@ocean_bat]

Really hope the new game mode is at least 10 vs 10 and the objective encourages team fights instead of encouraging rotating.

Been looking for a good GW2 PVP content creator after Vallun went quiet. Keep up the good work!

[@Rap-gq1fy]

Where'd Vallun go?

[@homage3]

Thanks very much! I'm still new to this so if there's any kind of videos you'd like to see I'm open to any suggestions :)

[@utenven]

@@Rap-gq1fy He was un-partnered with Arena Net and just kinda stopped uploading.

[@utenven]

@@homage3 Your commentary is great. Explaining how opponents your facing is about to do XYZ so I'm going to counter with this is fantastic.

[@homage3]

@@utenven Awesome thanks for the feedback. I'll try to do more of that in the future!

[@patrickhaley1312]

A proper deathmatch is the only thing they should implement

[@homage3]

A proper death match would certainly be good. Although there is the free for all pit which (kinda) works for that.

[@AdamFakroodeen]

Subbed, great PvP content any chance of guides for other professions?

[@homage3]

Thanks for your support! I would definitely consider doing guides on any of the heavy armour classes. I think I can play those 3 well enough to teach people a thing or two. Any requests?

[@gcgui]

thanks for the vid! little question, at 3:08 when u heal you have a zone, can you tell me where is it in options?

[@homage3]

Wow good eye what an interesting question- I've never noticed that AOE before. Does it not show when you cast the heal on the red alliance stance?

[@gcgui]

@@homage3 Not for me, and that work too for the smoke on Thief, it's useful asf but idk how to find it

[@vyzion980]

Never been a title for PvP? Bro. This is like seeing people say “legendary doesn’t exist” 😂😂😂😂😂

[@homage3]

@@vyzion980 I said there is no COLOURED title for PVP. You didn't listen to the video or read the patch notes. Swing and a miss.

[@greenice3able]

Song at the end?

[@homage3]

It's a freestyle Friday from e-dubble, can't remember the number but it's called standing tall

[@galaxybrainjimmy1520]

I dunno if its just me but new game mode is nice but its gonna split playerbase and my queue time is not that great, and am silver 1. I think its a waste of resources to add game modes imo.

[@homage3]

I think that splitting the population is a valid concern. But it is also a possibility that the new content and increased rewards will increase the population and reduce queue times. We'll see!

[@FlatCirclee]

Dude they need to fix the match making its horrible

[@homage3]

I think PVP updates will increase the population, which will make the matches better for everyone

[@vyzion980]

@@homage3it’s not the population that is the issue 😂

[@vyzion980]

@@homage3why do you think you see so many wb necros cats thieves ratting or full condi/power builds? Cause PvP queue caters to DMG builds, and is not balanced whatsoever in a boon/team fight heavy game. It is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PVP than wvw, but they keep catering to those classes or power/condi dmg. And what did we get here? Titles, weapon rewards you can already earn through so many diff methods, and PvP reward track potions which already existed they just took out so it’s really not an addition to the game, just a backtrack. Completely shit update.

[@vyzion980]

@@homage3the issue is gameplay. That’s what they need to fix. More amulets don’t fix that, fucking titles, PvP potions, map changes. NONE OF THAT FIXES THE ISSUE if they knew that they wouldn’t be losing so many players. The only reason they are getting any more or returning is bc of the expac and it’s just hype. Not because of a worthwhile product.

[@vyzion980]

The sad part is I know people from over 4 diff mmos who have moved to gw2 in hopes of a better PvP mmo, and then quit because of all the catering. It’s fucking tragic they ignore problems they create.

[@vyzion980]

So no actual PvP gameplay changes just events and reward changes. Absolute dogshit. Fixing to be nothing but catalysts WB and necros in PvP, practically all there is now. If it’s not that it’s x2 thieves or dual DH braindeads.

[@homage3]

No gameplay changes? Is a new map, updating an old map, and a new game mode not a gameplay change?

[@frostysock3541]

@@homage3 late to the party here but i think they mean there is a severe lack of class changes pvp side of things , a few support changes and i think power herald is kinda the extent of it

[@homage3]

@@frostysock3541 I understand your point and agree. That being said, that gentleman left like 17 rage comments on my channel in the span of about 30 mins. I think our friend just needed to vent his frustrations lol

[@jaymichaelmichaels]

This game is pvp trash.

[@homage3]

Well said. You make a strong argument.
