Guild Wars 2

I want to start a new youtube series on more in-depth spvp decision making, rotations, and matchups. What kind of things should I include?

This won’t be necessarily class specific, as I’ve technically played every class (just to see what they can do), but I’ve only extensively played Ele, Warrior, Engi, Mesmer, but I know most of the popular builds that all the classes use, so I can always have input on that.

Going on the forums to ask for suggestions is a bit of a stretch, so I don’t know how productive this will be. I might go do things on my own, but good feedback is appreciated.

Also, BREAKING NEWS

THANK YOU FOR GETTING ME TO GAMESCOM <3

Personally if like guests on the show with you. Of course you alone have a lot to offer the community in terms of techniques and rotations and tactics, but it would be interesting if you could bring guests who have conflicting perspectives.

I would love to see top players with controversy, whether its build-wise, rotation wise etc. and not just passive controversy but more towards the heated side.

Also, since you are frequently on teams it would be interesting to see what makes a player stand out to top teams? Is your personal skill supposed to shine? Is it more about personality? Is it about legacy? Obviously it’s a bit of everything and some aspects are more important to some than others, but I guess what I am asking is: for people currently established and for those who do want to enter the competitive tPvP scene, what advice would you give them?

I would also like to see it focused on more advanced rotations and tactics than the simple things. Getting more in depth with countering certain rotations with certain classes/players. Also, I think specific anecdotes would really help put the situation into perspective instead of hypotheticals, but hypos are still much better than nothing.

Lastly, many players watch things like this from top players and think there is one ‘best’ answer and tend to ostracize players who don’t instantly follow what top players are saying. Meaning, with regards to rotations, if players don’t rotate like X then it is ‘bad’ whereas Y could also be a viable and even more intelligible rotation. Same applies to builds, strategy, comps, etc

I’m sure I could offer more input but I won’t flood your thread especially since I honestly don’t know exactly what this is about.

edit congrats on making it to Germany! I voted for you

This is some sick input. I really appreciate it

I’ll take this into consideration when I’m making it. I’ll elaborate more on this later, it just came up as an idea cause I like making videos to send out to the young community. winky face

Conflict between established good players sounds really interesting
Good positioning and why its good. For instance, this mesmer specific guide by helseth was very interesting.

I voted for you as well, glad to hear you made it

roger that

Hey Zoose. Maybe you know me, I wrote the guide about teamcompilation and rotations. Always like to help the community. If you want I would offer my help with anything.
(I’d really like to help with this)

For the inputs:

I would start with:

1. Teamcompilations

Talk which class is good in which combination (basically atm you have 5 bunker teams, 4 bunker teams with a thief and “movement teams” 3 bunker + mesmer, thief) imo.
Talk about builds which are good atm.

2. Openers and Rotation (after the opener)

For each team compilation, for each map, for each matchup how they have to behave against what opponent team.
In my opinion you can’t make a general rotationsguide. There are about 3 (or alittle more) teamstrats and you need to change the rotationguide for each team and for each matchup.

For example:

Strategies for Movement team on Niflhel vs Bunkerteam (1 video)
Strategies for Movement team on Niflhel vs Movement team (1 video)
Strategies for Movement team on Niflhel vs Bunker/Thief teams (1 video)

3. 1v1 section. What counters what and how to rotate in a match and for each class how to win what matchup. For example: Engi what to do vs Warrior, Engi what to do vs Guardian, etc.

4. Special video about what to do when you get wiped (again for each teamcomp on each map vs each matchup)

5. special kiting video series on each map on each point

Write me ingame if you want my help

I’d like if you took a great player from each class and dueled them with commentary about your decisions during (or after) the fight.

Hmm, alright all of this sounds good. I like the dueling aspect since I duel a lot of players anyway. I’ll have to look into that.

Check out ‘State Of The Game’, the Starcraft 2 series. I always enjoyed that show the most. They always covered upcoming patches, changes, meta, tournys, players, whatever..

This is so wrong…

I second this – your commentary is always great in matches discussing strategy, but very enlightening is when you commentate when fighting various classes.

Hey Zoose, why don’t you teach me how to not rage at my own team mates just because of the fact that they have a legitimate opinion different from yours.

P.S You can’t
