Guild Wars 2

Hi… So, my situation is I’m only rank 17 and the last 2 games on spirit watch in tPvP the enemy has been using 3 ppl a combination of wars and guards only to rush the orb to a base, is there any counter to trying to stop this at all or is it a stiff kitten it’s broken sorta thing?

If they are using stability, then there is little you can do to actually stop it. Just to to stack AoE on it, hopefully that is enough of a deterrent. If they are rushing that then it also means they are not going for bases. Take the bases, have CC to hold them off, an elementalist can do a great job at that with staff, but make sure to protect him.

If this is solo queue then that was bad luck. If this is team queue then you might want to have some team synergy in there, or follow the trend and get one of the OP classes such as necro, warrior, thief or petting zoo ranger.

/Cheers and hope that helps

yer solo que and owning 2/3 cap points didn’t help us either :/

Thanks though

Boon strip > stability. Null field may be a good idea to bring if you have a mesmer.

I always have Null Field on. It’s great for boon stripping as well as giving my whole team chaos armor with a blast finisher. weeeee

trie to stop them from capping orb – kite the warriors and do rangeattacks on orb/capper
you dont need to do this forever but when your team hold 2 nodes so enemy dont get enough pointz when you slow them down on orb (even 10-20 sec per orb will help your team when rly 3 enemy go for orb)

you cant stop guardians or warriors once they have orb – cause stability and condiremoves/imunity + high survive
thats bad design on this map and a reason alot people dont like it

Spirit Watch is not in Team Arena rotation and for a reason. Just play 5 bunker guards. Focus and greatsword are good weapon choices. A bunker warrior may also be able to carry orb but can’t get it solo like guardians can. Unfortunately this map, much like Skyhammer has nothing to do with personal skill. Keep in mind the orb gives more points when dragged to a capped point. Decapping is the best bet against bunker teams.

I freaking hate how people just camp the orb on Spirit Watch, the teams I get in SoloQ never seem to bother with capturing points.
