Mission, character classes, time, terrain, what does the enemy have for classes, play the odds, if you just punched in a metabattle build play unranked and learn it a few times before ya do ranked your team will thank you.
Thief I’m convinced 90% of them are garbage but if ya 1 of the 10% on your team they can make the match for you, decaping plus1ing etc however they know if the enemy team is a bunker ele a bunker druid 2 DH (your hard counter) and a scrapper maybe play a diff class your good at.
Gaurdian meditrapper typically i nice niche class as ya can do high dps use your utitlities/traps to stay alive and still dish it outnot to mention cc from your traps if your sloted for it. Bunker you soak damage, support your team and hold points . Also highly telegraphed(nerfed too hard imo )and most veteran players know your tells.
Warrior’s thanks to recent buffs very viable in condi mode and sometimes power good combo of tankiness and being able to dish it out . Things to note if you have no ele to clear your condis on your team and they have 3 condi necros and a mesmer on the other side you’ll just kill your teamates when it gets given back to yourside.
Rev’s very high dps good utility skills and cc in power mode and an there a condi version too though not to popular this season. Power revs are weak to condi pressure unless played perfect.
Engi typically power scrapper is whats played lots of dps cc and descent healing if played well can be good at just about everything but it takes practice as with most classes (i played unranked for 6-10 matches to get the hang of mine and im still by no means perfect ).
Ranger some version druid bunker seems to be what i run into most of the time hard as heck to kill if you do your skill rotations right. But ya can spot a newbie who has not practiced a mile away as the never actually fight on point.(yes i know search and rescue in a safe spot but sometimes ya need to actually be on the point).
Mesmer not just as easy as face rolling your keyboard in that meta chrono condi build i seen em played so well they can 1v3 and win. Porthole can be very useful and helping your team rotate and be were they need to be to be the most useful.
Necro good mix of bunker condi cc (via fears)and dps when in shroud they gonna take a while to kill unless there very bad but its not impossible to kill either.
Ele you’d be hard pressed to run into one not running dagger/focus bunker support
build, overcharging air is great for interupting ressing players and securing stomps, not to mention the grp condi clear and heals are usually some of the best ya run into this season.
The matches depending on map vary on how to win as different pve options come into play depending on what map you get. Just to break it down to game play what the classes on your side do and what the classes on there side usually do and play the class that will best help your team . Secure stomps with invulns/stability and cc the players trying to rez downed players same goes when you trying to rez your own players. BE MAP AWARE you can see your teams hp and were they are don’t run into a fight that already lost play to your teams favor if you got a guy who runs far keeps 3 guys busy for 2-3 min solo there is NO reason you should not have home and mid, and rotate for crying out loud if you had 3 rush home and you just killed them with 3 of yours good chance there going to there home or mid were should you be going ? maybe don’t play your thief ( which you know your super good at when the other team is trapperDH and bunker class heavy you wont 1 burst anything and if they camp their home your kinda useless). Please please practice your class before you type in a metabattle build and go ranked do unranked a few time get the hang of it. This is by know means the bible on how to pvp i know im not perfect and theres always room for improvement I practice in my guilds arena and unranked when i learn a new class and even to stay descent on what i play you can always get better. If any of you pvp pros have any tips to add please do. Shoot me a tell if ya want to 1v1 sometime im not the best but i do ok.
This is ment to be somewhat constructive so anything ya can add or that i missed would be great to hear.
