Q:

Hello guys,

My personal experience so far was spvp and only.
The last 3 weeks i play pve and i also tried WvW.
I play the classic 0-10-0-30-30, scepter/dagger, with full berserker equipment.
I’m doing great on pve and dungeons but when it comes to WvW, i die a lot.
I would like to hear from experienced WvW players their setup.

  • Which weapon set? Why?
  • Traits?
  • Gear and jewellery stats?
    Thanks.

As the others have said, we really need more info` to be of any use.

What gear, gems, build, everything you have equipped etc, what are they?
Are you roaming, running with zergs?

Gear, I use Clerics, but since last nerf you`re better off with PVT toys.
Dagger I have bloodlust & don`t recall other unless I log on
0/10/0/30/30 build, bbut whilst close to what Daphoenix has listed mine differs a little.

Oh, also civility, that`ll get you more then anything else

Edit: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/elementalist/It-s-time-to-gear-up

They all listed roughly what you`ll find here.

Thanks for the info mate.
1)About my equipment—> When i say berserkers i mean that my gear,weapons,jewels are with power-precision-crit dmg.
2)It’s very rare for me to run with the zerg. I go solo or with some friends from the pvp scene. So, it’s more like 5vs. many

D/D to run toward a combat/commander…

Staff to actually play.

Mesmer or necro if i would to contribute…

WWW has 2 huge issue people still have to notice…

I ll just tell you an upleveled necro of a friend made 500 badge in 1 afternoon….
Someday people will notice…..
Until necro/mesmer are fixed, if you play in servers with competent commander…don t even try to use D/D.

GW2 balance:
A PvE player is supposed to avoid a 1-2 second 1 shotting aoe.
A WWW player is considered uncapable of avoiding a 5,75 second aoe for half his health.

Duh OP lol. You are using 1v1 tactics in team/group play and not applying group synergy/tactics ie. 5v10. You have successfully proven the diminishing returns of running into melee range of 10+ players in your light armor regardless of the number of stun breaks and condition removals you have.

Ive heard the same from guildies Lord B, in terms of mass badges with
a Necro. I have over 1500 hours on my Ele Staff and my main gripe after
hitting Tier 1 in WvW is that 75% of the battles (if not more) are always
moving so most of your long casting AOE misses the opponents.

I love the staff ele, dont get me wrong, buts its best uses are defending a
place like hills, where all of the enemy is bottlenecked in a hall or bridge.

My main reason for not leveling my Necro is the lack of escape mechanisms.
As a Staff Ele I rely on Fiery Greatsword to get away. For the past 2 weeks Ive
been playing my geared Thief, and I think its lame that I tag more enemies
with close range Cluster Bombs, used multiple times (which do high damage
even specced only 50% gear berserker), than I can with my staff ele. Poison Gas
is also instant cast, and a few can cover an entire zerg.
