Guild Wars 2

When i’m roaming alone and there is too many people in the enemy zerg, i roam near their war camp and keep contesting everything, but my main target is the fortress with a warp.
I think that 1 guy who block a portal and kill every dolyak is more usefull than 5 guy who follow the commander and die from an arrow cart, because there is no daily for dodging.

I’m certainly there just to fight players and screw around. I never bother destroying dolyaks unless there is someone escorting them. Seems pointless and there just isn’t anything for me in it.

Roaming videos have been done to death.

I’m sorry, I guess we should all start making videos where we’re all just running away from arrowcarts, don’t want to engage an enemy zerg, after killing 1 dude with a 40 man group jump on them and spam the number 1 ability all day. ’Cause that sure sounds exciting!

@OP, I realize you’re a zerger but everything a roamer does is WvW strategy. Everything short of killing the opposing zerg itself. Unless you include zergbusting teams.

Here’s a guide/checklist so you don’t need a boring video:

- Roamers control supply. Supply wins WvW (in terms of points). They are the reason your towers and keeps are full supply when the siege starts, while the enemy objectives aren’t.

- They ninja towers and keeps.

- They scout the enemy zerg so that your zerg will have the advantage of preparation.

- They are first responders in tower and keep defense and the reason your zerg knows where to go and what to attack and defend.

- They run supply to repair and build.

- They kill roamers (and more) from the opposing team.

I think the problem here is everyone is generalizing what a zerger and roamer is. Roamers can be seen self proclaimed heroes, running around seeking personal gain, when in reality some act as scouts and are wholy devoted to what they can do for their server.
Zergers can be seen as players looking for a free ride, but a good zerger is focused on following the directions of the commander. With a skilled commander and a disciplined zerg, a zerg is the most devastating force on the map, able to accomplish any objective faster then any smaller force, at the cost of some efficiency. They’re fast, strong, surprisingly manuverable and contribute the highest point tick to the server.

Probably the main reason you don’t see as many zerg vids is because they’re harder to do. It’s harder to show all that’s going on, and harder to show all the coordination behind the scenes.

I agree with Dual. An L.A. commander with a fair weather pug will lose against way smaller numbers. A good commander with knowledgeable/organized players can smash bigger numbers. Roamers are absolutely necessary to a good team.

Real roamers seldom post here.

Nope, zero strategy in roaming…

I don’t know what us roamers are thinking…

Not like we contribute to anything outside of our own, overly inflated egos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsxhITzz39o
