Thanks to you Tech, LST and Imp! *
We still have lots to learn as well*
No you don’t. xD How many times did you beat us unsuspecting poor tech witless? :P
I think 4 times?
Fight 1: thief/warr/mesmer/guard vs. guard/guard/warr/mesmer 0-1
Fight 2: guardian/warr/mesmer/engineer vs. guard/guard/warr/mesmer 0-2
Fight 3: I think I forgot one? Dunno what we ran there.
Fight 4: guardian/warr/warr vs. guard/guard/warr 0-4
Guess we need to train against heavy set-ups. Can I inform as to your respective team builds, I’m interested what killed us. As for us:
- on thief I was zerk, backstab, d/p build
- on guardian I was mix of knight/soldier, meditation build
- Duyall on warr was hammer/gs, custom stun/burst
- our mesmer Amasage was running blackwater (he hates mesmer though)
- Max was guardian first fight, don’t know his build
- Max on engineer second was mostly condition, no heal
- on warr he ran stunlock, but he swapped hammer instead of gs
I think our main problems were:
- Your mesmer was really high dmg, and very evasive. We noticed he had very low health, since we nearly killed him on 2nd match but he blinked to other side of the arena.
- With your 2 guardians I’m guessing a lot of shouts; stability, regen, protection, making our CC totally useless. I’m also guessing our blackwater mes couln’t do much cause of continuous condi removal.
- We didn’t have party-wide stability buffs.
- Overall not enough group healing and sustained heal/buff, most of the builds used were for solo or 2-3 man roaming, camp capping and a lot of mobility combined with bursts. Didn’t do much good in a situation where we had to do a standing fight.
Really interested in your builds though
..well overall i would say you have seized the main issue about “what” exactly did kill your team
You see, i think, there is not a “perfect” build or a superior team setup above all, it is all about what do you have to do with that team and what kind of enemies you will have to counter.
In other words, starting from your correct analysis, try to figure out the way (work on the builds) to strenghten your team, maybe try to establish what are the “key” boons you want to have at all costs and for the longer period of time possible during a fight and what are those conditions you surely need to avoid in order to grant your team a more stable and healthy fight.
Also try and assign different “role” to each member of your team so they can practice that same role over and over, until each one of you become part of something which eventually will work in symbiosis.
Naturally, every scenario is different and so should be the roles involved.
Picking the right opponent as main first target could make a huge difference.
Sometime “not” picking a target could be the wiser choice too :p
In conclusion, as Effsee said earlier, we too have a lot to learn yet.
It seems although our guilds share the same willing to improve themselves and that alone, is enough to forsee more “fun” coming :p
Thanks again for the fights and see you around, we hope…
Who were the two [Imp]’s I fought last night?
