Guild Wars 2

Hi, I generally go by the name De Sade, but you may have seen me around on a mesmer by the pretentious name of Arete De Beauvoir. (Although even if you had seen me, I’m not a particularly memorable player.) I’m a fairly well-versed shatter mesmer, who also has access to every class, and can play a variety of builds pretty competently. If I were to order my competency in a given class by descending order, it would start with mesmer, then thief, elementalist, and guardian. For other classes, I could not reasonably say that I am confident enough to have someone rely on me to play them, but I am willing to devote the time to learn what’s needed given the circumstances and changing meta.

A good portion of my time has been spent queued alone, but I am comfortable working and communicating in a team environment, and generally employ Teamspeak 3 or some other medium for competitive play.

I hardly consider myself satisfied or complacent with my current level, and I am mainly looking for a team that is willing and able to give me focused and constructive criticism and devote time to practice. I’m pretty ambitious, am not easily discouraged by loss or failure, and am always looking to improve some element of my play. I’m in it for the long haul, and I’m not looking to join a team as a spur of the moment whim. This includes aiming seriously at tournaments and other competitive events.

I breached the solo queue top 100 some time ago, and have since abandoned it in favor of team queue. I’ll let the fluctuating ranking I’ve had speak for itself. I’m willing to jump through the necessary hoops any team might have for a try-out or to satisfy any concerns.

My schedule is a bit up in the air at the moment given the start of a new year at university, but I expect to be generally free to play every day during late-afternoon/evening PST. Regardless, I am pretty flexible in accommodating most schedules.

Feel free to whisper me, or send me forum and in-game mails. Thanks for your time.

Definitely recommend. Sade is a great player, with a positive attitude and a constant drive to improve. Any team looking for a solid player should give him a try.

This mesmer is a REALLY REALLY good mesmer! Played with him, and for sure his mechanical skill is high. Communicates fairly well, and in teamfights/small skirmishes he can really shine to what a Shatter Mesmer can bring. Positive attitude, and with potential to of great asset to any team trying to improve. With a bit more experience, I believe Arete could understand what it means to have Team Synergy, Conquest knowledge, and Advanced Mechanics! Pick him up for sure!

I’m grateful for the kind words. I’m still looking for a team as of this post.
