Guild Wars 2

Heya.

So, I’ve recently started getting very interested in the PvP aspects of GW2. For the last couple of days, I’ve been queuing up for hot join matches as well as free tournaments trying to get the hang of things.

Now that I’m more confident in my abilities, I’m kind of at a loss of where to go from here. I’ve been able to hold my own in hot join PvP matches, but my team gets absolutely stomped every time I try a free tourney. I’m assuming this is because I’m in a PuG and there’s almost zero coordination.

I’m curious how to go about finding a somewhat steady team for sPvP, since that seems to be the only way to really get ahead at the moment. I’ve had chats with people while in the Mists, but most of them didn’t seem particularly interested in teaming up for more than just a few matches. Most don’t even really talk at all, or were just waiting for their own teams to jump on.

I’ve tried asking around my guilds, as well as around my server in general, but interest in sPvP doesn’t really seem to be that high on Tarnished Coast. I also happen to be an avid Rper, though, so I’m not willing to change servers in order to ask around for PvP. Since server doesn’t really matter in the Mists, I wouldn’t think it was necessary either.

I guess I’m just really curious about how to go about finding a team? Is there a fansite somewhere out there specifically for sPvP and making teams? Should I try to just find and apply to a big, sPvP oriented guild and hope that I’m able to make something happen there?

For reference (if it matters), I usually play as an Engineer focused mainly on survivability, point defense, and team support through buffs, healing, and combo fields. I usually run healing bombs and super elixir with kit refinements for perma-light fields. I’ve survived pretty much indefinitely against up to 3 opponents. This obviously doesn’t really amount to much, though, when reinforcements never actually arrive (since I can’t actually kill anything) and I don’t have anyone else to support, which happens all too often in free tourneys.

Anyway, if you happen to see a short, red haired Norn Engineer named ‘Big Love Bomber’ give me a shout!

tl;dr – What’s the best way to find a steady team for sPvP tournaments?

No idea what state this is in, but you can try out #GW2Ringer (or somebody who has used it can leave their feedback here)

Hmmmm. Thanks! I’ll have to give that a shot when I get home.
