Guild Wars 2

Ok so i havent played basically since launch, im in need of pvp info.

What are the class roles? for example is there carrys, supports tanks roamers etc?

Im aussie so i need a mostly range class, what are my options.

the role i wanna fill is a carry/roamer 1v1 sort of roll where i can have a huge impact on the match.

ive enjoyed mesmer in the past. i like the idea of having a lot of buttons like the ele and also the dragon hunter sounds appealing.. also if dual pistol thief was a thing that would be cool to.

bump, need help yo

If you want good 1v1 class with good mobility, then druid/scrapper are your safest bet at the moment.

Right now there is no meta. All are testing and tweaking. So it is a good time to Start pvp.

I play hybrid – shatter chrono right now. (Mesmer main since Start and all; 3.something k hours)

Just try the builds that seem fun. See if they work for you. The most important thing is map – Rotation anyway. Your build can be the best, but you still loose if you are in the wrong place the hole time

ok thanks, i understand that being good at the game with rotations etc is super important, im sure ill grasp that in time. i just cant stand playing a kitten class, doesnt have to be op, just a class where my skill can beat the op classes.

bump again, need mo help

Chrono/Mesmer is not considered viable, or wont be in the S2 Meta. It’s being tested/debated right now with outlooks being bleak. That said, you can run a maurader GS sword/torch shatter build if you want. There’s huge risk with mediocre reward. Huge trouble to align the stars just to hope to make something happen. If necros and thieves come out as part of the meta, you’ll be in for trouble.

Thief has always enjoyed a strong +1 DPS roaming role, and is a #1 decapper. Being a pro thief takes a lot of time though, and if they suffer nerfs that knock them out of the meta you’re obligated to cry and cry as though the world is ending until your AA is buffed to OP’ness and you’re back in the game once more

IMO berserker makes for one of the best +1 DPS’rs, but warrior is considered trash since HoT. While it had no bunker spec for the Season 1 bunker meta, and didnt make a show in the torny because of that, it could still bring something to your casual player/general game. From what I saw, various players managed to adapt and generate success with their berserkers over S1. In part this lead me to believe that much of the QQ was a result of Berserker not giving players a mind numbingly easy op class carry (like the other elite specs), and the class only offering roles and playstyles not common to the warrior mains of old (being able to sustain a fight forever instead of having to now kite, roam, and +1).

Going back to thief, I play a p/p venomshare mercenary daredevil. Great support to the team, roams, decaps, and can pick off other thief roamers to boot. It’s also great fun and is easy access into thief. For the high tiers of play something else would be necessary.

DH is probably still as super easy mode as it was on HoT release, so if you want to play ranged with that, go nuts.

Could always become a pro power lb/gs ranger. I hear the pets are uber op XD

but yeah, scraping the bottom of the barrel now.

Oh, and class roles are (mew meta withstanding)

Bunker
Support
Roaming DPS / Decapper (tends to fill both roles)

Bunker ammys were just removed, and various classes NERFED. It’s suspected the coming meta will be high dps, and bruiser heavy. There’s suspected to be a high Necro (condi/corrupt) and thief meta. What actually happens remains to be seen.

Things you can expect:

There will still be a need for somebody/s to hold a point.
There will be people out to remove said somebody’s from those points
I’m sure somebody will come up with a way with which to support both holders and removers from achieving their ends.

So yeah, point holders, dps, support.

Meta? – Run a class with stealth (thief or scrapper with gyro) – profit???

thanks so much for reply, champion

The meta right now it play a thief or Necro
