Guild Wars 2

Good to be back! Anyway so I noticed the new “meta” is apparently 2 revs, scrapper, necro and ele. Well tbh, I don’t see how that comp is more superior to the same comp except replace the extra rev with a thief. Thief counters necro, 50/50 with a rev and can shutdown an ele. Sure I could be bias since I main a thief but a great thief will always beat a great necro and shut down an ele. And I gotta say, Anet did a fantastic job balancing this time around, and I’m not joking. Every class except maybe one is viable in the right hands and no class is face roll OP, not even scrapper. Mesmer I guess is in a rough spot but like I said, in the right hands it’s awesome. Warriors I’m not sure, I’ve seen some good ones and some really bad ones, maybe the good ones were fighting bad players. Idk. Good luck to you all and may the pips be ever in your favor!

there is almost no defence in pvp right now and CC is OP

there is almost no defence in pvp right now and CC is OP

No defence? What about Revenant evades, crystal hibernation x2. Engineers evades and blocks while doing damage. DH millions of blocks while on the same time being able to move and attack at the same time. Rangers perma root, 0 damage for an hour and extreme healing. Eles healing and auras, thieves evades and stealth. Mesmers also got some blocks and evades. And warriors got their stances.

Every class has their active defences and they work really well. I play Scrapper as marauder and my survivability is over the top for a Marauder user and most players I play against has enough defences to make most fights I have interesting. I agree about CC. What some lack defence against is some specific unblockable conditions.

I do agree with op alot. Though in my opinion even though I forgot to mention necros up there, I think Reapers are over the top OP this meta. It is not even a little bit tricky to play it.

Season 2 is looking really good IMO. I got 2 X DH characters ready to go, different builds and roles on both and that’s all I’ll play I reckon. I’m excited to see how the matches will change based on division, what sort of “meta” if any will be in Amber/Emereld and then what pops up in the Ruby/Diamond divisions.
