Guild Wars 2

Hi,
Im new to gw2.
I tried some PVP builts from web for my thief. But I still get killed whole time and make barely damage myself.

I leveled up a Guardian now cuz I thought it might be easier.
I followed this build now
http://pvpgamer.com/guild-wars-2/guardian-pvp-build/guardian-bunker-build/
But I still get killed whole time and barely make dmg.

Is there any PVP armor or something? Some ppl just dance around at keeping point and I make like no dmg with my thief on them. fail.

Maybe you forgot to wear a rune and/or an amulet?

In PvP your armor doesn’t count for anything, you just pick the rune and amulet combination.

What rune/amulet?

From the link you post, Shaman’s amulet and Soldier’s runes.

Check this link for more information: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/PvP_Build

You pick your runes, amulets and sigils in that window: https://d3b4yo2b5lbfy.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/42918build-ui.jpg

In the Heart of the Mists, you just open the PvP Build window (it is in the top center of your screen) and pick the one you want, almost every one is unlocked for free.

ok. tyvm. This definitely makes a diference now! =P

…this would explain your problem.

I suggest you talk to all the NPCs in Heart of the Mists and do the Tutorials before jumping into matches.

OH please let this be the beginning of: “Pvp amulets are too confusing for new players!”
I really wish PvP would be done with your regualr PvE gear.
No not your gear but PvE gear in general.
Just let us choose every piece of armor, rune, infusion, sigil and trinket that we currently have in the other two gamemodes.
Those amulets are not cutting it and often just result in a weaker version of your PvE/WvW build. Lets not forget the lack of customization…

Then I may actually step foot into PvP. (Probably not, its still a cage fight…)

Edit:
Jokes aside, the first time I stepped into PvP I had no idea there are amulets myself. NEVER would I have thought this game mode uses a different build system with different items, I just assumed everything gets carried over.
