I am sorry, but I have to disagree here. Getting 7 wins using 3 different professions is easy. In fact I recommend any spvp player to master at least 3 professions, so you can change your profession if the team composition requires so. This is essential for a pure solo queue player like me.
I did the profession win achievements as shoutbow warrior (yup!), scrapper (engineer), reaper (necromancer), druid (ranger) and chronomancer (mesmer). I absolutely suck as mesmer, still it wasn’t really that hard to do execute dual moas (continuum split + signet of humility) and spam shatters and conditions. If you are playing that kind of build (similar to chronophantasma shatter), you have probably been used to playing a relatively simple faceroll build. Let’s face it: most meta builds and elite spec builds, which are similar to meta builds, are easy to play, even if you have almost no experience before.
E.g. try difference of meta scrapper using hammer, healing turret, slick shoes, elixir gun, stealth gyro aka standard power scrapper meta vs core engineer using rifle + medkit + 2-3 other kits. Latter has much more skills, more complex rotations, more difficult to play, yet far less effective than the meta build. With similar skill level the meta build will win hands down. Even with 2600+ h experience in the latter, even I had to tweak my build more towards the meta, because the meta is just so much better than. This should tell a clear message to Arenanet, some skills/traits are underpowered and some like scrapper hammer are way overpowered.
Just go to metabattle.com and select something you find might fit your play style, modify the build little bit if you feel like it and get the 7 wins using that. And practise the build a bit vs all the NPCs + in pve and unranked spvp and WvWvW before going ranked. But good ability to rotate + team composition > build in most cases.
You can even get into Legendary as berserker (warrior), as another thread illustrated. I do NOT play as condition warrior, like he did. Nor with GS or rifle, like most warriors seem to play, but nevertheless getting 7 warrior wins using zero condition power or so the above mentioned so called overpowered weapons was easy.
PS. I am pretty sure I have below average MMR and I am barely in Sapphire now. I have had long loss streaks at start, but then finally started to recover. I often get teamed up with bad players and I have lost most of my matches in Season 2, even though in Season 1 I had 55%+ win rate. So I know the “MMR hell”. Actually I think the term is misleading, I think the core issue is getting team up with similar MMR and matched vs players of similar division pip range, meaning that if your MMR is low, you will most likely get bad team mates, while enemy team has average MMR of that division, which might be higher. But if you manage to loss only little vs higher MMR team, your MMR should not change much at all , maybe even increase, so try all your games the best you can. Remember MMR doesn’t change immediately, unless you have a new account (then MMR is very volatile). If you have had hundreds or thousands of games before, few losses or wins don’t matter much in your MMR. But 20+ losses will already hurt your MMR. So do NOT go practice your build in ranked, do that in unranked, like I adviced above. To my knowledge unranked and ranked MMR are separated.
