axe is much better than sword for pvp, IMO. Eviscerate is an amazing elite skill to run... frenzy and sprint are a must for any damage warrior build, just be careful when you pop frenzy. You should have two or three adrenal attack skills, frenzy/sprint, res sig, and the rest of your skillbar on utility or damage buffs. Strength of Honor is much better than mending for pvp, although you won't have the energy to run power attack or a zealous mod.

Yeah i liked it pretty much but Guildwars no longer is a game of fairplay. There are just too many noobs out there acting like they are god just because they have more fame than i do. Guess what noob? I do have all skills instead and have been working on my build. I know what I AM doing.. inventing new builds and ideas and i sadly know what those tomb noobs are doing... copying them and claiming them theirs.
There sadly is just sooooo much egofu*king going on in the tombs that joining a random group is a big big no no and you'd be sometimes better of to bring in henchmen o_o
At least they don't call you noob because you brought energy drain and hexbreaker as a monk Oo

That's pretty lame, and I wonder if ANet even thought about the possibilities of this happening at all. Allowing guild hopping was really worth most of the guild players (assuming this trend caught on quickly and everyone started doing it before too long) not even participating in your PvP event legitimately, right? Nerf one farming method and blatantly allow another, all in the same span of hours. REALLY swift, ANet.

Regarding my weekend in PvPx, after the initial night (when I seemed kind of upbeat about it), I didn't even touch GW for the rest of the weekend. First time in weeks I went more than a full day without logging on for even a few minutes. I figured everyone was probably out cheesing faction since ANet was basically handing it out to all the lamers willing to farm it, so I didn't even bother trying to play PvE with the (most likely) reduced population there. I don't have much experience in PvP, so I wouldn't have been able to get into any decent PvP teams anyways. Would've just been wasting my time.

Seems like alot of players had a great time during PvPX though so I'm happy for them. Maybe by the time the next PvP event comes around I'll be more into the PvP side of things.

Today was spent in meetings, analyzing the PvP Extreme Weekend and assessing its impact on the game. We're happy with the results, and it appears that you guys like it a lot, too. That doesn't mean to say it was flawless -- certainly there were things that could have been better, or might have been prevented. I think, though, that overall it was wildly popular and amazingly fun for all PvP players.

We've been reading the forums for feedback, so please do continue to share your thoughts!
