Guild Wars 2

I keep seeing the word “rotation” when people talk about tactics.

Probably mean rotation between players on points so opposite team have to adapt tactics? But I’m unsure.

Any guides or explanation out there?

Edit : So ‘rotation’ is the term for holding conquest points correctly.

Don’t eva rotate .. sit on home as home bunker and u will new numba oneee I never leave home and I win erretime

But yea.. basically when someone says rotate, they want you to go sit on home and dont move

Wut? That’s not what I mean when I say rotate. Usually when I say rotate or when I rotate myself it’s because I am dying in an outmanned fight or see an outmanned fight that wouldn’t turn around if I jumped in or not. When this happens I know that it means the enemy has left one or more points open for a free cap.

Also when I say rotate to our home bunker it’s for him to come and help in a mid fight that we may not be winning but we still own the point, so having someone sit there and take a beating for an extra 15 seconds could mean holding the point and getting more points. People that died in that mid-fight rotate back to the home point when they res just too make sure it isn’t getting backcapped.

Rotations are key to winning matches not fighting off points and not the most personal points. If you can out rotate the opposite team it doesn’t matter if they kill you in every single fight… (but that doesn’t help.)

- Rotating is about being at the right place at the right time.
- Its about counting numbers and helping out where its really needed.
- Its about not sticking around in outnumbered fights too long when it can jeopardize other points or teammates.
- Its about cutting off the “supply” of ressers to specific points without endangering said points by dying with 1 or 2 teammates.

So basically it’s just a term for holding points correctly.

And thanks for the few tips about doing so :P

What are you guys talking about…. I am a top tier Team PvPer and I assure you, Rotating means you go home and dont move. Its a counteroffensive used in top tier pvp

backpack best pack

its an ancient chinese tactic , when some1 in your team dies in the team fight the guy jerking off in home goes mid and the guy that respawns goes home to cover the guy of the opposite team respawning that is going far (your home).
the guy jerking off in home doesnt need to stay exactly on the point he just needs to watch it.

Youre on the US, where they tend to be one meta behind :P

Why are you in all the post I post in? :p

There’s a post somewhere in this forum that really really really needs to be stickied. It contains a video of some rotation for one of the maps. Lemme see if I can’t dig it up…

Not sure I’m gonna find it, but I did find the video I had in mind.
