Guild Wars 2

Abilities have been added since the last rank point reset. I’d like people to post their suggestions on allocation of rank points.

Does your class affect which abilities you concentrate on?
Which are best for defenders?
Zergs?
Solo, small groups?

Are some just all around better no matter your class or role?

Discuss.

Guard Defense max rank with Applied Fortitude is first and foremost IMO.

After that depends on what you like to do. The first few points in Flame Mastery, Treb Mastery and AC are very good. Putting some points in siege, supply and repair are worthy as well. Past that seems to be dealers choice.

If you roam or skirmish Guard Killer max rank is worth it.

Basics for any player that plays wvw for anything but gank people roaming:
4 ranks in supply Mastery
1 ranks in repair master
1 rank in build mastery

rest is up to preference.

I’m pretty sure there isn’t a right answer to this. One of my alts is about rank 240 and has 0 points in Guard Defense or Killer, and has a lots of points in all the siege weapon masteries (+supply/repair/build). What’s great about this is that whenever your commander asks for someone with X mastery to man a siege weapon, you’re there to step up and help.

On the other hand, the alt I’m playing atm is around rank 100, and has only the bare minimum ranks in some of the siege weapons, and is pouring all points into Guard Defense. Now, whenever my commander asks for someone with X mastery, I can’t step up to the plate. I’m feeling kind of selfish about it. Yes, I’ll eventually be harder to kill, but for 115 ranks, I won’t be able to help as much as I could.

I think when the rank reset happens I’m going to reallocate my points back into the siege weapons etc.

PS. Get Flame Ram Mastery – it is ridiculously OP
