Guild Wars 2

Since I can’t seem to find one on this page.

A simple guide to solo supply camp capping in WvW.

If anyone has found a better technique please share.

Nice guide. I saw your build posted on the YouTube page. What kind of gear you using?

Good little guide! In case your Elemental is on cooldown or you have issues having it tank all the damage, it’s also doable by swapping to the Signet heal and using that to tank most of the damage (or pulling the guards by themselves without the Lord coming).

That is definitely the right way though

Oh, another question – in the 3rd part of the video I see you RTL through the center of the camp. How do you keep from targeting a mob and going to them instead of going through? I always seem to get misdirected and stopped.

Same thing happens in large fights or when I’m trying to get away, I end up targeting something and veering off course.

I have auto-targeting off, but it doesn’t seem to help.

Never had that issue with auto-targeting off. No issues here at all, are you sure you aren’t using RtL while you already have something targeted?

I’m not sure of anything… but I know I have turned auto-targeting off.

I have had random targeting problems my whole time in GW2. Like if a friendly runs close enough in front of me, it will target them instead of what I’m fighting. I usually have right-click down as I’m moving the camera around a lot. Does that target someone?

“Nice guide. I saw your build posted on the YouTube page. What kind of gear you using?”

I’m using karma power thoughness vitality gear with 2x superior water 2x superior monk and 2x superior runes of divinity. For weapons I use carrion daggers with superior sigil of battle and bloodlust. For trinkets I use invader’s with two berserker rings. For soloing supplycamps I switch out my pants and chest armor for berserker gear to speed up the process.

“How do you keep from targeting a mob and going to them instead of going through?”
Uncheck auto targeting in the options and always double click an empty part of the screen before using rtl. As long as you dont have an opponent selected rtl will propel you into the direction your character is facing.

Those techniques are explained in greater detail in this guide by daphoenix.

in the second camp you showed, there is a spot where you can go to pull all the guards into melee range BUT leave the guild claimer unagroed. The big rock you run past just before entering, on the right of that right next to the building, just stand there and pull one oof the guards. They all come and stand in a nice big AOE friendly group. Once they are all dead you can kill the claimer.

You don’t even need the Elemental, OR line of sight to do this really. If you’re good at kiting/dodging, you can solo camps while remaining out in the open and without the elite (I personally run FGS a lot, just cause it’s fun). This guide however is great for doing it in the safest manner possible and without any hiccups.

I usually target the ranged mobs first (as you can simply kite the others) and have some stunbreakers/clears (cleansing flame is great) for wiping the immobilize the vet guard is gonna hit you with. RTL into the first ranged mob, blow all your cooldowns AOE’ing near that spot till you take out both of them, then kill everything else.

D/D ele might be the best class overall for solo’ing camps, easy peasy I LOVE IT.

Since the opposing faction wants to stop you from capping their camps they often try to anticipate wich camp you will hit next and move to defend a camp as soon as it’s being attacked.
Speed is therefore of the essence and being able to aoe down all guards at the same time is the fastest way to do it i have found so far.

It is of course possible to do it whitout the elemental but again not as fast since you need to spend time dodging/healing.
