Guild Wars 2

How do you build a character for WvW? Do you specialize, and try to get tremendous burst damage or condition damage, knowing that people have counters for those? Or do you try to make a well-rounded character that can switch modes easily and continue to be moderately effective?

Imo you find something that fits your play style the best, all the examples you gave work, its just a matter of what works best for you.

And here I thought this thread would be a petition to bring back /rock . You fooled me, you sorcerer.

Some rocks needs a Spock, unless ANet starts doing something soon

Anyway do what you like/works for you – depending on your playstyle (solo/group/zerg)

You make a thief or mesmer (thief here) and profit. If you play to win anything else is counter productive.
