Guild Wars 2

So… EU ran something like Hambow or Longbow/Axe (shield/sword), Bunker guardian, Ranger/Ele, and thief, all of that is understood to me, but why was the mesmer in there? I’m excited cause I love mesmer and I’m wondering if a meta will be coming to Na where mesmer is useful.

NA was running something similar as Hambow/Bunk Guard/Spirit Ranger/Thief/ and then something as the 5th is a general trend.

I’m also running why the meta’s are different? just something weird I’ve noticed. I just got into watching the ToL video’s and it’s VERY interesting.

Simple analysis is that NA ran low mobility, high support teamfighting comp, while eu ran a more balanced team with strong 1v1/2v2 potential and higher mobility.

Both teams fight on 3 points, but NA tries to rotate in support to win drawn out fights while EU rotates in burst players to spike and kill.

ROM talks so much sense. Really hope the Devs watch this!

No-no..Us played power play teams with Iway, to whiuch EU teams quickly countered with Edenial teams. This lead to US forming weapon swap negative E reserves teams, which quickly got destroyed by the Asian nec saccer EoE bomb teams, which in turn soon got nerfed. Fractions was released and this shook everything up. US played heavy condi/hex splinter teams, and EU responded with derv melandru teams. There was also the crafty all mesmer fit out, but was only so-so good even on their best day. With nightfall it all shifted again with the US returning to power heavy yellowway teams and EU running assassin spike splinter teams. Soon after this it all settled for mirror teams which pretty much had everyone running mirror teams and the first team to make an error soon got out done by better team skill usage. This lead to rits being used to cover any mistake that could happen, and EU responded with ele blinding surge shut down on warrior….

See what happens when you don’t have actual GvG..nothing ever evolves. Just say’n.

The Mesmer was there because it’s what Helseth plays.

Why did Mesmer work? The tl:Dr is Because they burst hard, apply pressure, and have portal for team mobility.

Helseth would tell you it wasn’t the Mesmer that was viable, it was him, which is partly true bcs he has strong awareness and positioning.
