Hello, this is a new topic of the “We Teach How We Want [Noob]”
The guild has undergone some changes in organisation and we felt it’s best to keep it clean and fresh.

New guild leaders are Terissimo.6852 and Sublimatio.6981.
Sarahfull.4930 is no longer a leader but remains a fractal mentor

With the rebirth of our guild, we are forming a new mentor list.
We need more mentors. If you’re interested in being a mentor, write to one of the leaders via forum PM or in game. Unless you’re from a known speedclear guild, you’ll have to be trialed.

A lot of bad players asked to become mentors so if you dont know everything about your class or you are not able to solo stuff in dungeons and you dont even know boss mechanics please dont waste our time.

WHO ARE WE?

We Teach How We Want [Noob] is a guild for everyone who wants to learn doing dungeons or fractals,
every skill level is accepted as long as you truly have the willingness to learn.
You don’t have to represent the guild!

HOW DOES IT WORK?

To join as a student, you have to leave a post below, or PM one of the leaders here or mail in-game.
PMs in-game can be easily overlooked so we wouldn’t recommend using them to apply.
Remember to include your region (NA/EU).
Then you have to read our mentor list (available here in this thread) and choose a mentor for yourself.
PM him/her in-game and enjoy*!
* if you experience any bad behavior from a mentor or doubt his teaching skills, let us know.

4. Aetherpath Mentors - answers all questions about Aetherpath, leads you through the path, shows you optimal tactics, pug tactics if required, etc.

Pretty sure the old leaders have gotten burnt out and have stepped down. Though both are great people and have always been willing to help those who actually want it. Mentoring is… well, it’s draining. Getting a group of people who actually eat up what you put out is awesome, it’s great, nothing draining about that to me, but that’s a rarity. More often you get those just wanting you to carry them through some content, or that argue with you because what you suggest isn’t what they read somewhere or saw in a speed run. And, of course those that just can’t “get it” where half way through you’re both thinking “kitten , this just isn’t working.”

It’s a lot of work.

I wish I still had the energy. I made some friends that came into teaching runs with me, or that I was leading, but I just don’t have that kind of motivation anymore. I wish the new guys luck. There’s nothing wrong with a passing of the guard.

I see it as a test, like the talk here before about stacking spots. Can I ( as a mentor ) explain and / or give reasons for everything that I am doing and explaining to people.

Hi! I actually signed up in the original thread but I guess my timing is off. I main an ele, guardian and ranger. I would very much like someone to teach me the ins and outs of Arah. I’ve never run it and have been meaning to learn it for quite some time. Please add me!

Do you have a set schedule for teaching sessions?

Yeah I share the same opinion and sentiment. I was a mentor too, after all. It just became too hard to push myself to do it. Three years with the same stuff doesn’t help at all.

I just hope the new guys are as knowledgeable as the previous mentors, we don’t want to see a lowering of standards do we?

Hello!
I’d like an invite as a student, to learn, well, basicly all dungeon paths and Fractals. I have every class at level 80 and have done most of the dungeons and their paths, but I’d like to become better at them. It would be great if I could learn the paths properly. I main a mesmer, but I’ve started and am loving using my guardian.I’m on the EU servers.

You dont have to bother about EU dungeon/fotm trials, we’re not sure about NA though, but Quaggan will help trial them on NA and we trust him. I will trial arah mentors so you can be sure they will be good.

I can teach Arah 1 and 2 for non-speedrunners and also CM for casual groups that have a little bit of reflects and/or stealth (aka 1 Guard + 1 Thief or 1 Mes).

Feel free to try me out whenever, I’ll be on soon-ish.

Hello, this is a new topic of the “We Teach How We Want [Noob]”
A lot of bad players asked for mentoring so if you dont know everything about your class or you are not able to solo stuff in dungeons and you dont even know boss mechanics please dont waste our time.

WHO ARE WE?

We Teach How We Want [Noob] is a guild for everyone who wants to learn doing dungeons or fractals,
every skill level is accepted as long as you truly have the willingness to learn.
You don’t have to represent the guild!

I just wanted to point out that you have two extremely conflicting ideals here and that the tone of the first part of this quote might be a misrepresentation of your actual intent. It comes off a bit hostile and demeaning which are not good aspects to have when you’re trying to teach players who are potentially new to dungeons.

You can’t claim to be a mentor for noobs to dungeons and then shun noobs because they don’t know how to solo dungeon content, or know every aspect of their class (especially in team play). Since a large portion of the game does not require direct play with a team or understanding team mechanics, the main introduction to working with other classes directly comes from experiencing dungeons.

I love the idea, and what you are striving to achieve, hence my reason for posting feedback on this section. A lot of people are afraid to even try because they’re afraid people will be impatient, rude, or belittle them while they are trying to learn. This can be permanently damaging and turn people off from some otherwise very rewarding content if not properly kept in check.

I would love an invite as a student to learn most dungeons. My ID is Unhygienix.2834 (NA). I have refrained from running many dungeons because of the reason Sondergaard just posted; the fear of people being imptient, rude or belittling while trying to learn.

Hello, this is a new topic of the “We Teach How We Want [Noob]”
A lot of bad players asked for mentoring so if you dont know everything about your class or you are not able to solo stuff in dungeons and you dont even know boss mechanics please dont waste our time.

WHO ARE WE?

We Teach How We Want [Noob] is a guild for everyone who wants to learn doing dungeons or fractals,
every skill level is accepted as long as you truly have the willingness to learn.
You don’t have to represent the guild!

I just wanted to point out that you have two extremely conflicting ideals here and that the tone of the first part of this quote might be a misrepresentation of your actual intent. It comes off a bit hostile and demeaning which are not good aspects to have when you’re trying to teach players who are potentially new to dungeons.

You can’t claim to be a mentor for noobs to dungeons and then shun noobs because they don’t know how to solo dungeon content, or know every aspect of their class (especially in team play). Since a large portion of the game does not require direct play with a team or understanding team mechanics, the main introduction to working with other classes directly comes from experiencing dungeons.

I love the idea, and what you are striving to achieve, hence my reason for posting feedback on this section. A lot of people are afraid to even try because they’re afraid people will be impatient, rude, or belittle them while they are trying to learn. This can be permanently damaging and turn people off from some otherwise very rewarding content if not properly kept in check.

Unless of course this message is meant to be directed at those seeking to BE a mentor, not those seeking MENTORING.

“A lot of bad players asked for mentoring "
" for everyone who wants to learn doing dungeons"

isnt it clear?

I’m pretty sure with “mentoring” and bad players he meant bad players applying to be mentors. I guess the requirements for learning are none.

Best thing to do, I guess, would be changing mentoring to mentorship.

Your English is not bad but it’s not obvious in the same way you think it is. A glance at the text also raises my eyebrows a bit. Reworded:

I may not be a leader anymore although I’ll step in, in regards to trails:

Please don’t be scaried about the fractal trails ( or any trials); They aren’t meant to be hard. We are just making sure you know your stuff and are able to teach to others. We need to know you would be fine on your own teaching and would be able to answer questions your students have like why do things like this. I would like to think all mentors and students remember that there is multiple ways to both teach and learn and that word of mouth plays a huge part here for our mentors rep.

If anyone needs help/tips on mentoring I will try my best to help. If any real life teachers have any tips or anything that would help, we would love to hear from you as well! All information would help greatly us.

I’m interested in being a student! I’ve been away from the game for a long time and though I do a lot of research I have almost no experience in the dungeons these days.
Please shoot me a message in game via mail or pm!

Sry Sarah but they are meant to be hard. Harder trial = better player = better teacher. Simple. Easy trial means a lot of bads can teach others and i dont think its a good idea especially for class mentors.

Sarah, we actually want trials to be hard, we want teachers to be on a speedclear guild level, to help students learn and hopefully join a speedclear guild or be on the same level.

btw. soon, I’m going to create a list of tips for mentors so that we’re clear on how to teach exactly in order to be most effective
