Guild Wars 2

Okay, i wrote a thread asking how the dungeons were meant to be played. turned into a huge discussion, although i would gladly accept some changes to make the fights more fun and less of a bloody massacre like this , http://youtu.be/cCI18qAoKq4 , and more organized and have more time to survey the battlefield and help a downed teammate.

i would be disappointed if they were just made easier.

So my topic is, how are mob fights initiated? i play a guardian so i thought i should initiate, i got dropped in 2 seconds, if a ranger pulls with his pet it will suffer the same fate. what is the safest way. also as a melee fighter i feel like im still the primary target, but without the sustainability of an actual tank.

I’m an Elementalist and I try to initiate with a stun or area knockback. Also any blocking skill helps.

(yes I know I’m a mage, crazy that I’m generally the tank/Initiator but I’m loving that you can do that)
