Guild Wars 2

Hey there, I’ve been playing around with a few different classes for bunker tPvP and i was wondering what your guys/gals favorite class for bunker was and why? Cheers

S/D bunker Thief.

pro

• Huge DPS. It makes class go from 100 to 0 within seconds.
• Huge survivability- no class can touch you.
• Great support- Drop a shadow refuge and revive an ally.

I’ve always enjoyed bunker guard because it’s a different type of bunker than the norm. Bunker guard doesn’t really rely on high vitality or toughness, but rather damage mitigation (blinds, blocks, boons, and etc.) This makes it much more active than it seems. If you blow through all your CDs and waste your skills, you’re not going to last the long. Most people think of it as just spamming Wave of Wrath, and using Empower occasionally, but it’s much more than that. It more about team support than bunkering in a sense. However this is one reason why it can be frustrating to play, its very team reliant. You depend on your team, and they depend on you. So in 1vX scenarios it’s not as strong as other types of bunkers and builds. A lot of players say bunker guard is boring to play, and aren’t willing to play it, however I find it very active and rewarding.

? Has something changed, because I thought bunker guard “was” the norm.

Or since the last tourney without guards have we finally broken that mandatory item :p

I’m talking about the way it’s played. Bunker guard is more about team support then just trying to stay on a point and survive the longest. Like compared to a bunker war, who’s job is pretty much just stay on a point and not die.

I’m just entertained by the idea that finally people believe that something other than a guard can “bunker” go back a few months and look at people laugh at warrior or even engi as a bunker.

That’s just a meta shift, a lot of builds have all the sustain they need, so players really don’t need as much support now. Yes bunker guard is still very viable and excels, but it’s not really mandatory anymore. Overall I believe it’s a change for the better, nice to see different comps coming out.

How are bunker engineers at the moment? Their gameplay style seems interesting.

their gameplay style is cancer and they are useless in teamfights.
