Guild Wars 2

As the title says, what classes playing which roles would you have while planning to go against 2-3 times your numbers with the intention of busting up zergs for tons of loot and fun?

I’m interested to see your group makeups.

15 warriors or 15 thiefs or 15 guards or 15 mermsers

a 15 man roaming group IS a zerg

15 mesmers and BAM. Your litter zerg just became 45 cloneman warfare.

By the six, that thought hurts my head….

Just try and imagine trying to target a mesmer in that zerg. There would be so many clones that you could defo fool an enemy into running away.

I’d have Khanswrath, the other 14 would just be meat shields.

10 mesmers, 2 thieves, 3… more mesmers?

A healthy amount of thieves (3-4) because abusing cluster bomb’s blast finisher is very good un outnumbered fights. Drop some fire fields and blast up before a fight, and you’ll be rolling in with 20+ stacks of might on your entire group. Two bunker Eth field loaded Mesmers in the thick of it to grab people’s attention and, again, abuse blast finishers so your entire group is rolling in Chaos Armor. The other 9 are up to you, but at least 2 d/d eles (blasting staff kind of weak now with EA killed), 2 pain in the kitten hammer warriors, 2 bubble guardians (still good even after the healing limit nerds, esp. vs large zergs). Optional 3 necros to roll around in plague form at the start of the fight, perma blinding your opposition for 20 seconds.

Organized teams can pull a lot of kitten.

12 thieves, 3 mesmers. 4/1 group organization. Permastealth/portal around, find thing you want to kill, cluster bomb spam, restealth and move out.

Also, 12 thieves + Thieves’ Guild near walls to see the NPC thieves pull everyone down with chain scorpion wires.

60 counting yourself :P its 3 clones per mesmer + the actual mesmer yes?

I actually ran into a 5 man all Mesmer group in WvW last night. I still have a headache and I play a Mesmer. I knew what was coming as soon as clones started spawning. I targeted one of them, then he decoyed, so I did. Odds were in their favor. Took to long to find the strafing Mesmer and attack again before we were all dead.
So with that said, 15 mesmers.

15 mesmers

That’s 60 mesmers with all 3 clones

then add 2 hounds of balthazar and suddenly you’ve got 90 bits of kitten on your screen and you’re rendering like a mofo

I think my classmate did this once with his guild. Spawned a ton of Clones and Phantasms for ganks with a mass shatter at the end. Sounded pretty insane. Also heard of players rolling identical mesmers with similar names to add to the confusion.

names dont’ matter because it’s just “server defender”, unless you’re trying to confuse you’re own server
I still wish they would have names like GW1 because smacking down some of the well known names would also bring in an interesting tactical situation where they could be used as decoys because nubs would want to just smack down on the legendary player
