Pro Murphy: 44 Guardian
Coneybear: 80 Ranger [RETIRED 11/15/2012]
I’m noticing that in 1v1 I don’t do very well. It doesn’t matter if I’m a ranger, engineer, warrior, mesmer or thief. I think I’m probably not approaching fighting correctly at all. Any tips for how you go about fights?
Pace yourself, save your best cooldowns for when the enemy lacks their own.
Learn animations and dodge appropriately.
You need to concentrate on 1 or max 2 professions and play them a lot and constantly.Do not be afraid to try new things, new specs, sigils, runes.Analyze what went wrong when you lose.Best thing would be to pvp on a profession you have most experience with because there is lot to learn.So yeah, invest time and it will pay off more you play better you get.And play with profession you like best not the ones you hear are OP or whatever.Yes they are OP atm but they will be that much easier to kill when they get toned down. I play ranger myself and yes i can win 1 vs 1 against any other profession even tho some of them have vast advantage atm.
1v1 fights are pretty pointless in this game because its not balanced around it.
1 v 1 is all about who is more tanky. In every pvp mmo it has always cae down to that. The tanky guy will in the end wear down the less tanky guy.

Not true sir, damage mitigation skills are king in this game, a skilled mesmer will tear you to threads no matter how tanky you are.

not really sure what you are getting at , doesn’t damage mitigation = more tanky?
My #1 tip is record your 1v1s with bandicam or some other free recording software. Then watch it back.. which you can do in slow motion, with pause, etc. You will learn heaps. Good luck.

1vs1 had ever been pointless from gw1…no reason to make this a 1vs1 game, it’s a team cooperative game…not street fighter
If it’s a bunker class/build or a competent mesmer, just run.
But really, play your class and spec a lot, learn its strengths and weaknesses, and know the basics of what the other classes do so you know what to expect. IE A warrior with a greatsword? You know his Hundred Blades is the skill to avoid. It’s hard to see what everything’s going on, but you get tidbits on what classes do as you go on..
Get few friends → go to empty server → duel with various classes → talk to each other what you do wrong/right what are the weak points. 1×1 is not about tankiness, its about knowing who you are fighting, and what tricks could they possible use against you.
Dam I hope they implement duels in next patch, because I am getting bored in going to empty servers and asking new people to leave or to go 1×1 without capping…
the only tip I will give you, go for thief, spam2 and you are most likely to win.
If you die to Heartseeker spam you are seriously doing something wrong.
