Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone, I’m hoping you can help me with something!

I’m having trouble managing my endurance when fighting Alpha. I can usually time the dodges right, but eventually run out of steam and take a massive hit. I’ve played mesmer/thief mostly, so I’m not used to classes without any evades/distortion. I’m currently most comfortable with d/d, though I’m trying to learn s/d.

How do you all manage to always have enough endurance for the next dodge? Is a sigil of energy the best solution?

Thanks everyone!

2 things:
get a focus offhand. focus e5 is a 4 sec total invulnerability, it’s great. You also gain access to a longer lasting fire field, more blasts, ranged quick cc, condi removal and proj. absorbtion. If you’re using dagger, keep in mind that dagger fire 3 is an evade.

swap your build to 6/6/0/0/2 when learning. You’ll loose a 10% modifier and 100 condition damage, and gain vigor along with boon duration. FGS 3 is an evade as well.

For alpha, you can time your dodge so you avoid both the ice aoes and the earth attack following.

Thanks for the tip, I’ll have to try d/f and s/f!

In p1 ignore the flame burst unless you have vigor, just dodge the cone attack, in p2 all you have to worry about is the large aoe, dodge that and in p3 dodge both cone and aoe.
if you don’t have vigor and you pug in slow groups you won’t be able to stay alive forever. Also icebow 5 can trigger temptest defense and give 5 seconds of free attack time, as well as obsidian flesh in your might combo at the start
