Guild Wars 2

Who is the best commander on your server? And why do you think that person is the best? What do they do differently from the other commanders?

I nominate Askharr (seen in the picture below, which was taken before he got the icon).

That’s no commander. That’s a walking castle.

dont have one on blackgate. some guy named choco sausage or whatever logs on and some of his urge buddies follow. about it.

all was lost

Leader Mara on sanctum of rall.
Hands down

Commander horrifying. Back before we had tons of commanders on FA he was literally the only one I saw actually doing WvWvW. And he was responsible for lots of map sweeping that took place. He’s also one of the few/only commander i’ve actually seen turn on and off his commander tag both in and out of WvWvW (inside in order to hit strategic objectives without causing the zerg to peel off a tower and chase him to the nearby supply camp, and outside he just keeps it off most of the time anyway)

Fergunsons crossing doesn’t have one. though I’ve been encouraging poison caltrop to be one

Being a Commander, I guess I can’t nominate myself. ;p
In that case it’s Jedahs.

Lol. The BG commanders really disappeared this week. From what I understand:

- Choco hasn’t been on because of exams.
- Sauvage died irl.
- The Champ rerolled some FOTM profession but got disillusioned and started a family in Zynga’s hit game “The Ville.”

barely noticed the difference

Jedahs on Sea of Sorrows. Great leadership skills, and dedication to the server esp with his visit to Europe to gather more Euro guilds to strengthen our server’s potential as a dominant WvW server.

SoS doesnt need commanders as they just do Zerg versus Door in Australian time then log off when Evryone else gets on.. Hell even a Monkey could do that

We actually have several good commanders on IoJ……several bad ones as well. The best seem to primarily be in EB at this point while the others play in borderlands…..

I look more at the guilds the commander’s represent than their names though, [AoJ], [RvR], [BP], (and several others that I can’t think of off the top of my head) which have commanders that are strategically minded.

I might have to say Commander Commander Jadon on Tarnished Coast, personally, though there’s some other good ones on there.

There are four I really like, I couldn’t possibly choose between them. They’re not all from the same guild, either, which is even better.

You mean you don’t like Brewha, or Ursa Cleavage?? Perish the thought, after the two of them worked so, SO hard to get the KARMA FARM TRAIN going for you guys ):

Agress on Jade Quarry. The end.

I nominate Ocularis, Samusen, and Snogleeerrrdddbe OMAGERD, and Liana!!

By far they keep things together far more than others on the server. Phonervia, unofficial commander, and I really gotta give props to all our other alliance commanders for helping out the commanders I just named!

GO GO NSP!

Coron on DB was good, before his guild moved to a different server. I haven’t enjoyed following most others on DB, though.

TC has quite a few good ones. Malum Factum just transferred over, and both of two of their commanders were pretty good last night as well.

I will echo the several bad ones. However, last night there was a commander on that organizes a bunch of people in SH (the northermost camp) of IOJ borderlands that seemed to know what he was doing…at least on paper, I stayed behind to defend the camp and had to log out fairly early because I was sick as a dog. (this might have been 2 nights ago, my brain is kinda fuzzy, and my lungs are full of fluid!)

I keep hearing good things about Indo, but I haven’t gotten to play with him yet. He’s usually in EB or Green BL which I never queue up for. I’m usually with Menaace and Bluntaki, both of whom I find are great commanders.

Some of the Commanders on GoM have begun to work together and coordinate together. So on that sense, I give them an A+ on initiative.

However to name any one of them a great Commander is still a far cry. It’s still too early to name any of them “great”. And up until now, I have yet to see one Commander with the following:

1) Leadership: A commander icon does not mean he/she can lead. Leadership is not an ability you can just buy. Leading a zerg is not particularly leading at all, if you’re going to neglect other parts of the game, such as upgrades and defenses.
2) Strategic mind: Most zerg leaders simply cap one place and move on to the next. The skill that’s lacking is to be able to predict enemy movements, plan and execute, by excessive use of the map. It’s like a game of Risk.
3) Charisma and listening to good ideas: Many Commanders have large egos, and refuse to listen to ideas of others. They think their decision is right. This isn’t great leadership at all.

I may be flamed for this post, but that is my criteria of a “great” Commander.

Yeah Mara definitely deserves props on Sanctum of Rall. She gives good directions over /team, which isn’t easy to do.

Kingxcon and WarFreak are pretty fearless as well. My own Guild Leader, Ben Foghlada has lots of good ideas, but he isn’t on all of the time. The Spartan – also good.

Lots of good ones on SoR.

Miasmic Spiritsong and Leader Mara on SoR.

On SBI personally I really like HCProfessionals, Kriptic and The Original Gov

Hard for me to choose between the three, I really like all of their play styles, they know very well when to be aggressive, how to set up a successful siege and when it’s time to defend. Additionally they are all especially good at setting up spotters to keep eyes on everything so they can assess situations all over the map. (special kudos to everyone who volunteers to be a spotter, I know it can get boring standing around at a keep/tower/camp as I have volunteered myself but it’s really helpful!)

Having said that there are many other solid commanders on SBI but those three specifically stand out for me, it’s awesome when I get into WvW and see one of them on.

“Fergunsons crossing doesn’t have one. though I’ve been encouraging poison caltrop to be one”

Aint that sweet of ya Yea seems no one will listen without that tag but to be honest, if youre offering sound advice in team/map and they still run off and do something stupid, not much can be done about that
The problem with Ferguson Crossing is we have a few commander that like to come out and take as much as they can as quick as they can, never upgrading or defending anything, always spreading themselves thin. Cant win like that, plain and simple….

Definately Ursa Cleavage on HoD, not only a great commander, but he actually makes time to answer all your questions and not ignore you.

Jamar and Waveofbabies for EBay (imo)

Kaineg – Charred the Scarred.

May have the name wrong, but he does a good job.

Xiir is good with teaching the new people the WvW basics.

I’ve been running most of EB. I don’t yet have a Commander’s tome yet, but I do my best by communicating in /team and /map to those who are in the BG. We’ve been doing some pretty fun and interesting things this week. I’m saving up for the tome though, to make things go a little more smooth. I’ve been using Caps as an alternative lol.

We on IoJ also have a few other good Commanders (Isarien, Nomnomnomnom, Fact or whatever his name is, etc.) that log on and I work very well with them. We’re usually good at micro managing groups to do other tasks for certain tactics, etc. IoJ really does have a wonderful community. I’m glad Junglizm finally talked me into transferring my guild there.

Also don’t mind the sig, I’ll update it soon.

Maguuma, JerkJerk. Hands down.

Jamar and Waveofbabies for EBay (imo)

Jamaz* and Waveofbabies, and yes they are both great commanders.

You know, Tekno, I believe the only reason I misspelled his name is because I’ve heard Ja’far said probably 20 times in the last hour because of Aladin on tv in background.

i have to say after watching So much Different Commander’s In the World VS World Sanctum Of Rall Commander Kingxcon is One of the smart one because leading is not always a big ride to take castle. is Also the power to make Decisions to will help your allies and keep your property save. a commander that can see trough the enemy forces and break them as he please is also a huge advantage he know how to take on. fear is what make a raid failures, that why went i enter WvW i turn fear intro my weapon and leave the rest to my commanders.

that why i had to say KingXcon have better judgement call on peak times in the Sanctum of Rall Commanders.

i don’t like to trash but i have to say Furanku need to be more team player then a leader. because he make nonsense call to hes staff for stuff that really don’t matter that all.

Keep up the Fight Rall Fighters.!

My favorite commander was Ruphio from ELTE. Why? He made things happen. He didn’t stand around EVER. I know that TA was a well coordinated alliance but I mainly only got to see him. He was a well oiled machine. Many times he was leading militia while his alliance was running less obvious missions. He had the game down to such a science I am sure that is why he got bored.

Bahaness on Stormbluff Isle.

He knows probably 15 words in English and communicates better and gets more things done than any other.

Yaska and Akeldama on Darkhaven.

They have good strategy, aren’t afraid to get in the fight, know how to use the zerg, and explain things.

Voting for commander on HoD called Noble Baby.

The ultimate karma farmer ever. I really really hope he moves JQ so they can see just how awsome he truely is.

Hard question! I saw only 2 of our commanders in action. Its Copycaet and Disaproval.
Both are OK. Dunno about others, most of the time i see them chillin’ in LA or in Orr farming zombies.

/Gunnar’s Hold EU

Leader Mara on SoR is by far the best and hottest without a doubt. She gets it done.

Grekkz on SoS is great. Makes sure everyone has siege and supplies and listens to people’s ideas, and he does the boring things like supply runs too (much easier to get the mindless zerg to pick up supplies when they’re just following the commander).

Commander Shepard. Then again, all he was doing was roaming around the Black Citadel saying “I’m Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite store on the citadel.”.

Leader Mara /notlongenough

By commander, do you mean somebody with the commander tome or an individual actually worth listening to? Because 2 out of the 3 Maguuma tacticians do not have commander tomes.

On Sorrow’s Furnace we have a variety of commanders. Some are rich kids who bought their title with gems and have virtually no WvW experience, some don’t even talk and just follow the zerg. The largest group is the “FOLLOW ME IM COMMANDAR” group that as you can see, types in caps and directs a zerg. Then we have the elusive PvE commander who simply bought the title so you can see him on your map.

I will say the best I’ve seen so far on Sorrow’s Furnace is Commander Lord Doomhammer. He leads a WvW guild so he brings his own group with him and performs his own operations independently. His group stays organized and gets the job done most of the time.

the commander title is mostly just a show of who had 100g to spend. I have seen some good some bad some that should have just given me the 100g since they really had no clue.

Leader Mara is the best commander of SoR!
