Guild Wars 2

This is not my first MMOPRG. Please remember these 3 things while playing.

1. This is not real life and in no way effects your physical well being – it’s a game.
2. There is no such thing as perfection.
3. If you can’t beat it – play one.

I have seen MMO’s completely RUINED by people crying “This profession is OP and I can’t kill it WAH!”

“What’s with all the Mesmer’s Clones” “Thieves shouldn’t be allowed to stealth so much” “I can’t kill that Bunker Warrior” – BOO HOO.

Each class has a specialty, they can all be defeated. Some professions are better equipped to kill certain specs of other professions. Some people just have more skill with their profession and can kill anyone – like they have 2000 hours of WvW/PvP to your 10.

Could be your play style doesn’t match your spec. Just because “So and So” posts on some forum that “this is the best spec ever” it doesn’t mean it’s the best for you. GW2 specs can be customized based on play style – by matching your play style to how you trait you will be more effective. Try to see the big picture of how your toons skills & traits work together. Don’t limit yourself on “These Utility Skills” have them as defaults, but be prepared to switch out when you think the situation might call for something different. For example my PvE 6-0 are different than my WvW 6-0, shoot I may even switch out a weapon or offhand.

Could be your gear or your utilities. If you’re traited to increase “Power – Precision – Crit Damage” and you’re wearing full Berserker gear with your highest damage utilities – GREAT… You can hit like a horse… but you die if a feather falls on you. You need to be well rounded, be able to stay alive as well as kill. You wouldn’t go into battle naked, nor would you go with armor and no sword. Have a Melee AND a ranged weapon (or a weapon/skill that gets you to your target – or your target to you) – don’t limit yourself by proximity.

BUT ALWAYS REMEMBER #1.
So the guy on the Thief kitten ed you off… I’m sure you’ve done the same to someone else… it’s a game, get over it. If you’re that upset research the class and figure out how to counter it – more Control works 99% of the time.

Otherwise you’ll keep kittening, we’ll keep getting nerfs and boosts that never quite get it right and our toons will be no good for WvW, PvP OR PvE.

Enjoy the Game!

(And YES I realize the irony of QQing over ppl QQing)

If I’m stumped by a class and keep getting my lunch money stolen, I make one of that class myself and learn it so I can counter it better.

You don’t necessarily HAVE to grow him – just hop over to the Mists and play around with the practice NPC’s and different builds. But I will say, I’m leveling a thief now and I love it. They’re not just dastardly in WvW, it’s very useful in PvE too – especially Shadow Retreat for those long runs, stealthing to rez fallen allies and the amount of CC you can achieve – Bosses don’t seem so bad if they’re always blind ;-). One lesson I learned in PvE (and felt like an idiot) – If you’re stacked and someone is pulling… don’t stealth them to “protect them” on the way back… the mob will just reset and everyone will say “awe”.
