Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, I was really unsure about opening up this thread for fear of getting trolled into oblivion, but for the sake of knowledge and hopefully to help out others I wanted to share this video and open up a discussion on targets and rotations:

This is NOT some “check out my pro” video. The biggest problem a lot of people have in tPVP is figuring out where/why to properly rotate and who to target. As there isn’t many guides on the subject, I was hoping we could have an informative discussion on player choices mid-battle.

• How would you have rotated differently from what I did? Why?
• What did you see me doing right/wrong?
• Would you have chosen different targets? Why?

Please Note I’m not asking for Mesmer help here, I’m asking for rotation/targetting perspectives from those of you who PvP far more than I do so I could hopefully use that info for a bigger writeup later on.

As a lockdown Mesmer, I tent to target either squishy or AoE-oriented targets like Necros/Elementalists first. I excel at stripping boons and keeping targets immobilized/incapacitated and provide team support through Pack Runes, Null Field (Strips boons/condis), and AoE damage.

Any help from more experienced players would be massively appreciated!
