Guild Wars 2

You’re happily roaming through your beloved T1 or T2 server with you ever-so-epic looking gear with one goal in mind – find another solo roamer and DESTROY HIM! Unfortunately, you didn’t notice the other epic solo roamer and get the crap kicked out of you! As you lay on the ground watching this guy dance over your corps, you find yourself saying….

“If I was only on my OP warrior, thief or whatever right now, I’d have totally kicked that guy’s -” well, you know.

I started on my T1 server shortly after GW2 launched and loved WvW since day one. However, unlike every other MMO I’ve played, I often get frustrated because classes in this game just seem to feel, “situational?” What I mean is that my shatter-Mesmer is amazing in burst ability but will get completely crushed should a burst condi class catch me off guard. My medi Guard is great if I can avoid getting kited and then made into a pin-cushion by some power ranger pressing 1112111. Etc, etc. Oh, and these vids of folks taking down 3+ players at the same time? /sigh.

I guess my concern is in trying to find a class/build that is more universal – that can solo well enough yet still be able to take camps and avoid those blobs. From playing this game as long as I have now, this is pretty much what I’ve come up with (below). Are there other options I’m not seeing?

1. Shatter Mesmer (GS + S/T) or maybe PU.
2. Hybrid Warrior (S/S + LB) with PTV gear and either zerker or condi trinkets.
3. P/D condi Thief (boring…).

Anyways, just looking for some thoughts, advice, cookies – something.

Just learn to play? U can kill every class with every other class. It isn’t a problem lol. That u run healing guard show that u don’t know a thing about solo roaming and duels, cos it is obvious that support class will lose agianst full power class unless u know how to maintain ur skills and avoid enemy’s skills.

L2P is kinda harsh but probably true as well. My Guard is my newest character and honestly, I am still learning the class. I won’t deny that I don’t really know what I’m doing on my Guard.

I do struggle with my Mesmer with burst condi classes though I did just have a great duel against a Necro where I was down to less than 2k health and came back to win. I just need to do a better job of understanding their rotations. The Memser is probably the most fun I’ve had in GW2 but I think the skill cap is pretty high?

On my Warrior, I’ve never lost a duel since changing to my new roaming build. I’ve got some close calls but haven’t lost yet. This build just doesn’t give me much room to escape should that blob show up. What do you all think of this Hybrid S/S Warrior build? Oh, and this is my actual build w/ gear being used.
