Guild Wars 2

I was grouped with a diamond and the opposing team had one too. We won the first game but lost the other against the same team:

The opposing team had an emerald so you could say that the second game was an upset for them and near the end of the Forest win I even prepared bodyblocking the creep but we got the kill anyway.

some quick comments on first vid

You waste a lot of time at start of mid fight – first walking back and forth at a misplaced scrapper doing nothing, then firing off some skills, half of which actually hit. I like to mark a target and teleport in right away on rev.

Then you finally go in and stand still in reaper and scrapper cleave

Also sword sword. Sword off hand is bad. It’s buggy and you need the sustain from shield. If you’d had shield you might not have gone down in those team fights.

You go down and druid saves you at the cost of sacrificing your necro. You are now fighting a losing battle.

You do a good job on tempest, but its something you should have done when you had the team cleave to back it up before the druid wasted SNR on you.

You then pretty much all go down as the necro just gets back from spawn.

You were fighting a losing battle on a node you didn’t own. And the enemy had no respawns (I think, your UI is super small and the quality is meh) at home. You probably should have disengaged that losing battle and pushed far.

You then respawn, and go far, when 1. someone else already is and it appears to be open 2. you now have another team fight at mid that you are leaving at a disadvantage. team mates even ping for help. You proceed to 2 cap far. Kill one necro holding far while mid dies. Not punished though as enemy team is slow to respond to anything.

You head mid. Pop most glint utilities for no reason and miss most. You engage the mid fight after its already lost on the enemy teams owned node.

The only reason your team is in it at this point is because the other team is so bad at their own rotations they just zerg mid.

You respawn, you have 3 choices, mid looks bad. You could +1 home, which doesn’t particularly need it, or help far. You chose home, lost far.

Ok then you head mid for team fight, good job, you get it good, but you hang around far too long. You could push far which needs help. If they want to bunker over a neutral node while you cap far let them. This wasn’t a fight your team was losing. The timing on the respawns would be important, but you see I think the DH go, and if you went then or just after I think you would have had far, then cleaned up mid much quicker as the pressure came off.

Beast toward the end was prob right call, although you were cutting it close messing around (that many) for that mesmer when mid was coming under attack. If they had got mid, then got their beast you would have been in trouble.

Nice job landing sword 5 consistently btw.

Maybe a few other things but I have trouble seeing the detail in that video.

ps I’m no pro but that’s my take
