Guild Wars 2

I don’t often pvp, usually only when I have to. In game you have Mist War, Edge of the Mists and 5 man pvp. The builds found on Metabattle are called Conquest and WvW. How do you know what one to use and when? I have to ask this in guild every single time I try WvW as it simply makes no sense at all so I have no way to know.

Conquest is for sPvP – the 5 man stuff. WvW is the more common name for Mist War and EOTM.

Conquest builds are more focused in fighting in a point so they are more directed to sPvP (except Stronghold). You don’t usually have to worry about holding a point in WvW as much as you do on a sPvP match.

The WvW builds on metabattle are more for large scale zerg fights. For small scale/roaming builds you can use the conquest stuff as a guide but most of them will need adjustments.
WvW has a better variety of runes and stat choices, mobility and stealth are also much more important.
