Guild Wars 2

What strats and combos are working well for people in PvP currently?

I’ve got new thoughts rolling around in my head like team combos involving stealth (ie Stealth + Churning Earth)

What have y’all noticed about what’s effective?

I have fun either going full zerker nuker staff. Gotta love those 3k-4k meteor hits and lava font ticks. Maximum range, safe sniping spot with allies on node but never ever you yourself on the node. Once targetted, run away like a scared puppy or prepare to die like a man.

Or condi-staff (yeah, lol) with written in stone. Playing on point staying mostly on earth for eruption bleeds. Tank-ish but dies in vain when focus fired.

I feel more productive with staff than S/D or D/D or D/F in sPVP. But that’s just me. This is mainly hotjoins. I don’t teamQ/soloQ and if I do, I roll a warrior. Duh?

Any maps you’ve found this strat doesn’t work well? Skyhammer for example seems like would make this strategy challenging to pull off.

I only change from Signet of Air to Lightning Flash when in Khylo due to useful teleport hotspots in and around the clocktower. As for the other maps, there’s always a nice sniping spot on every node. But Foefire graveyard is my least favorite when built zerker staff because you can’t AOE pressure that much due to the large size of the node.

For skyhammer, I think condi-tanky staff would fare better due to very small fighting space on nodes and skyhammer room. As long as the node is small and enclosed, I’m happy because all my AOEs cover the node.
