Guild Wars 2

As the title suggest I’d like to have a thread where more experienced players can post suggestions for every new player out there who want to have a try at free tournament, by keeping the amount of errors to a minimum I believe even a PUG team can reach Kylo at the very least, not saying that winning against voice chat team will become easy but at least easier respect to now.

These are just common mistakes that I see happening everytime, by avoiding them a PUG team can at least give a fair fight and have a chance, let’s make sure only the best reach paid tournaments ^^!

Here is the list of most common mistakes , everybody should post their suggestion as well in order to improve the general experience for PUG and players who occasionaly queue on their own, they’re listed in order of importance for me:

1) Ress – It’s more important than chasing the half-dead enemy!
2) Have an interrupt ready to ress people
3) Don’t all rush to stomp somebody – professions like guardians can mass interrupt , better to take distance and go stomp the guardian after the bubble
4) Don’t zerg – you don’t need 2 people to cap a point
5) Have more than 1 toon- change accordingly to the team you get
6) Stop fightning inside caltrops – don’t just stand there and bleed to death
7) Dodge Big ol’bomb – it has a huge red circle, dodge out of it or get launched, 30s CD
8) Don’t all rush where there is a bunker guardian, he’s more durable than bunker engy, cap the other points

Now add your suggestions.

One thing I see a lot of people do; Don’t always be in a rush to go and stomp everyone.

If you have all of the other team around you down and you either already control the point or they are outside the point, then just dps them down slowly.

While they are downed they are doing nothing to help their team. Just dps them slowly down. If one of their teammates come, drop aoes on the downed players and intrupts.

—Use a clearly-defined build when you pug, unless you’re just playing a hybrid build because you like the way it feels (I can respect that). Hybrid builds can work, but your team won’t work well with you if you aren’t able to quickly describe your role (bunker, damage, support/control).

—Leave/don’t engage in fights that don’t help your team control points.

—Most of the time, follow even a poor plan.

Oh, and…

—Know your key binding to look behind you, and use it in forest of niflhel while fighting your npc.

I’ll definitely be watching this thread to pick up helpful info myself. There’s no better feeling than winning pug vs. premade.

Here’s another:

9) If you see a thief in the enemy team at 80% chance he will try to steal boss so open your eyes and try to stop thief before engaging boss
