Guild Wars 2

I’m really bad with my thief and don’t want to go in the normal tPvP matches.
I thought I could train in hot-join, but this seems impossible: people leave the group and joint the other group, it’s a just chaos.
Can someone give me an advice how to train for tPvP?

I began preparing for PvP hot joins by roaming in WvW. It’s a good place to learn at your own leisure. Fights can escalate quickly, and there is potential for a volatile environment.

The downside is that you can go for long stretches without running into an enemy player. Or you could run into a group of players that will completely roll over you. I would give roaming borderlands a shot and see how that does you.

Also, if you have friends on an opposing WvW server, you can organize duels in secluded locations. Hope this helps!

WvW doesn’t help at all with things like rotating, backcapping, and +1ing fights. In addition, the builds you find in WvW arent even close to the ones youll find in spvp.

@OP, just do solo queues. Sure, your team may rage at you sometimes, but honestly who gives a kitten?

Can’t agree with that, the matchmaking system (if there is any) seems to be pretty bad, I’m rank 30 and don’t consider me as a good player but most of the time I will get matched with rank 80s who simply just outplay me on every level, you can’t really learn anything from that. Doing hotjoin isn’t optimal either but it’s a better start than sPvP.

My usual method is use hotjoin just to get a feel for the profession/build and how they manage in a fight or on defense, then hit solo queue until I’m comfortable enough to join teamq. While it’s true soloQ has iffy matchmaking it also happens in hotjoin and teamQ and at least it’s much closer to team play than the mess that is hotjoin.
