Guild Wars 2

I am going to compete in a 1v1 dueling tourney next month with some friends. The field is guardian and necro heavy, with a mix of others. Any suggestions on which type of build I should look at? I’m not a great pvp player, but we do this every month for fun. I am not very good with grenades and a bomb build doesn’t work well against ranged opponents. Suggestions appreciated.

bring rocket turret (not sure how good it still is in 1v1 but when it still burned it was totally op) and defense. Especially when your opponent is specced very offensive.

Spec differently against every class <

Melee classes should melt to settlers + bombs + rocket turret and the 2 defense on stun traits should make you invulnerable against warriors.

ranged will be harder especially mesm

For ranger and against ai heavy opponents bring some aoe snare to kite the pets the entire match (doesnt work against mesm)

People in 1v1 tourneys tend to run crazy stuff so be prepared for weirdness.

As for specific classes:
Against guardian bring range and condi —- nades+snare are perfect imo.

Against necro it reallys depends as i would expect a few power necros maybe? so it might be scary to try to counter condi nec and then meet a hybrid or MM or some crap.

Against condi i would highly suggest picking up autmoated response soldiers amulett + elixir C + rocket turret + tool kit and just put turret down and try to hit the necro from behind all the time. (this wont work at all against power though). Just use elixir C once you hit 25% hp (about 6K) and then you should be invincible unless he has some other form of direct damage (like elite :/ which again can be kited easily though)

The very strong scepter autoattack from necro requires facing the opponent directly so running behind them all day really makes them happy
