I play for some time, I have a good knowledge on game mechanics and I play a Guardian, Elementalist and have a fresh Thief and Mesmer.
I play mostly WvW.

Recently, I dueled a Warrior on my Elementalist in WvW. I didn’t even scratched his health. Only once I managed to bring him to 80% health which he healed and then that was it.

Then I went to sPvP to get some experience, I fought an immortal Engineer that I think it was a condi build, I’d get like all conditions and get locked in a chain of CCs and I was dead in 3~4 seconds (I was using berserker).

Another match, I fought a Ranger that simply opened on me with Rapid Fire and that’d take about 10k of my 17k health even with a dodge or two during the skill.

So I’d like to know how to PvP. I see various other guys who are killable, but every match or other I find these unkillable with infinite damage guys, and I’d like to know how to fight them.

The builds I use:
Elementalist S/D, half Soldier half Berserker (WvW)
4/4/0/4/2, Mist Form, Lightning Flash, Arcane Wave, Ether Renewal, Fiery Greatsword

Guardian GS/Staff, full Soldier
6/0/2/6, Wall of Reflection/Stand your Ground, Merciful Intervention, Judge’s Intervention, Shelter, Renewed Focus

Guardian Sword/Shield & Scepter/Torch, full Soldier
0/6/2/6/0, same as above

My Guardian’s as tank as I could get while still getting some damage, but I feel I’m nowhere close to be like those unkillable guys. And my Elementalist is just bonus points/honor badge walking around the map. How do I get like that?

You’re S/D build is bad. Also, S/D is kinda weak right now with all the rapid fire rangers.

Scepter builds should be fresh air. 06044 is the usual.

That’s a pretty standard build. You can switch up things to your taste a little bit. Gear wise, go Zerk and Valk mix over anything like soldiers. The point of the build is to burst. The survival part comes from using your invuln and shield wisely.
