Guild Wars 2

I dove into PvP hard this weekend, going from R0 to R10 over the two days. I play a mesmer in PvE so I spent all my time in PvP on that toon. I really enjoyed the PvP because the battles are short (compared to pve activities) and it’s easy-in with hot-join. It makes PvP more casual friendly than much of PvE tbh. Anyway, onward to my observations. I’m wondering if other players feel the same way on this or not:

sPvP:
- Pretty much all professions in attendance. Thieves and mesmers seem to be a bigger slice of the population but I saw all professions really.
- Seems more DPS oriented, with few bunker builds

tPvP:
- Almost exclusively thieves, mesmers, engineers
- All mesmers and engineers are bunkers
- Thieves are all DPS (mostly P/D)

I started Saturday with a Sword/GS shatter mesmer. By the end of the day I had switched to a Staff/scepter bunker build. I felt bunker was necessary to counter all the other bunkers.

PvP is enjoyable for all ppl that don’t play it full-time. Means it’s enjoying to play pvp besides WvW / PvE. So my personal tipp for you is: don’t overplay it. And make some days off from PvP. Otherwise you will hate it sooner as you wish
