Guild Wars 2

Hello,
I`d like the community`s opinion on this matter:

During a wvw 50+ vs 50+, does it matter what profession you are?

I`ve read some posts and some people tend to say that the gear / skill set-up counts more than the profession. What would you guys say?

Um, depends who you’re referring to dictate that it “matters”.

If you’re asking it individually, which class really matters that I choose to get the most kills? Than anything that hits multiple targets and doesn’t die fast, so anything but a thief.

If you’re asking for the zerg as a whole, than I would say Guardians/Ele’s to keep the zerg on it’s legs and standing with full health. Necros/Warriors/Mesmers to decimate the enemy zerg.

I have taken the time and effort to find this video that describes exactly how to play when in WvW and it comes down to Zerg vs. Zerg. Please bear in mind it is quite a complex video and includes all the highly tactical information that can be found in Tier 1 match-ups.

Your welcome!

Lol, nice Ascii!

That is exactly the difference between a PUG zerg and a organized guild zerg.

In a 50vs50, atm you maybe can see 10 ppl in each side if you"r luck with culling…

Thieves can be pretty effective in a zerg actually. Shortbow auto-attack chains three targets, #2 is a spammable blast finisher, excellent for water fields. #3 will let you retreat a pretty great distance while evading, perfect if you find yourself overextended. And #4 hits an unlimited amount of targets!
With aoe stealth, you’re also a pretty good reviver.
Sure, you’re squishy, but that doesn’t really matter all that much if you can handle your class!

And I was hoping for an actual tactics video ~.~
Was still funny though.

well after today I`d say that the zerg with more Hammer warrs and guardians usually wins

As long as you’re not a glass cannon, it won’t matter much. The side with the better chain of CC and less glass cannons will win most of the time.

The side with more mesmers usually wins. 2-3 timewarp and reflect > wtf ever else other classes can bring.

Every class has important roles in a Zerg. As a thief I learned just how incredibly effective it was to stand in the back and cluster bomb all of the water/light fields for healing and retaliation. Necros are there for epidemic and boon removal. Warriors have the knockbacks and aoe stability a zerg needs to keep its position. Rangers have the aoe damage and water fields a zerg needs to survive. Guardians and eles are obvious, guards for protection and helpful fields and eles for damage fields out front. Mesmers obviously for portal and time warp. The only one I don’t know about is engineers, and I’m sure they have something useful too.

Though I would have to agree that mesmers are currently op when it comes to group combat. I dunno how you could nerf that without crippling them in other areas though.
