Guild Wars 2

I’m curious as to what the general opinion of this is among other competitive teams. In my encounters over the last week it seems that 95% of high end teams are running triple bunker builds. Watch any live stream, or go up against any quality teams and they are all running the same triple bunker builds (most commonly two guardians and an ele).

The problem that myself and many other teams are having is that it is almost IMPOSSIBLE to beat a triple bunker team unless you match it with another triple bunker team. While things brings that match back onto even terms, I find it extremely frustrating that this build is so insanely strong it simply can’t be reliably countered. Thus you end up with almost every quality team out there running 3 bunkers (which is the current situation) which leads to pretty repetitive and boring games.

Obviously I’m expecting and hoping for some big changes with the new patch coming out, but I’ll be seriously disappointed if we don’t see much difference. Interested to see if others agree.

When I watch live streams I see 1-2 bunkers. Also I have not seen many 3 bunker teams at all.

There are very few quality teams in NA who run triple bunker (honestly I don’t even know of any). My team (Pancakes to Celebrate) runs a balanced comp with only one bunker on one map. For the past couple weeks we have been undefeated against NA teams: Team Legacy, Last Resort, Curse, Manner Please, Paradigm NA, We Go Outside Alot, Gun Gaming, PZ, ALFA, and WIN.

When playing these teams, we have come across all kinds of set ups, but still manage to win with our comp. The primary thing i notice though is a lot of these teams like to run double guardian. Sometimes the guardians are both bunker and sometimes one is bunker and the other is dps.

The point is, three bunkers is not a strong comp.

the best comp atm imo is bunker Guardian, bunker Ele, 2 dps, 1 portal mesmer. for dps i like thief and warrior, but a well played aoe condi team is good if you have a capable necro.

basically, 2 bunker, 2 dps, portal mesmer.
