Guild Wars 2

Hello there,

I am quite new to this game (I played at release, but my PC was too weak at that time) and I love it! It looks beautifull, it works great (also technically), is full of great design and breathtaking fantastic ideas, etc etc.
But my core interest in all MMOs is PVP, especially TPVP. I´ve played WOW Arena and RBG for many years.
GW2 TPVP is totally different and a lot more complicated so I wanted to share the sources which helped me a lot in the last weeks with those who also feel a bit lost:

A very good article about the roles, the synergetic and so on …

(thanks to Dippy Tree)

My favourite site for builds
intothemists.com
they also taught me a lot

And finally three videos about gw2 PVP (hope they will make more)

Well, that´s it
I hope that this thread will help a few players to become better and that the community of this great PVP game will grow!

P.S. There are many players out there, playing the solo queues, who know nothing. Maybe one of the audience could direct them via chat to this source or one linked above.

Thank you very much

I used those same 3 videos to help me get into PvP.

btw, the 3rd video has links to builds. If you’re new to PvP you definitely want to find a recommended build and stick to it until you start to figure things out.

pvp is 10% knowing your class and 90% knowing everyone else’s class.

Yes, of course, but in this game it´s also very important to know every map and how to use it to your advantage, to know the roles (roamer, bunker, etc), strategies for the maps, how to interact with comco fields, and so on.

I think this game has a bigger pvp learning curve than the average mmo pvp.
