Guild Wars 2

Should I bother with anything other than supply crate? I do mostly WvW on my other toons and probably will do the same on this one after I get some dung gear.

The best thing I can tell you is to try them out yourself. You might like one of them for whatever reason, but in my experience supply crate trumps the others.

I have used the mortar in keep defense before, and it’s fun sometimes. The #5 attack is a large multi-hit AOE (five rounds) that causes considerable knockback, but to be honest it’s the only really useful skill and its cooldown is rather long. Otherwise the mortar is kind of weak and its range a little limited so if you’re defending you’re almost always better off using grenades (though dropping the mortar and using the #5 when up isn’t a bad idea). Supply Crate is definately superior in the field, but a mortar for WvW defense certainly isn’t a bad option (especially if you let someone without grenades use it instead).

Other than that test for yourself. I can’t help you with the racial elite, but I’m not too fond of Elixir X. Sure there’s some times I’d like to be a tornado, but since it’s random in the effect there’s never really an occasion where I feel the need to lock out my 7-9 skills in order to be melee.

I would prefer to not use/waste skill points if I can…

Mortar was the main one I was considering… but I’ve used it on other toons and it didn’t seem that useful unless my other toon lacked any sort of aoe. Nades seem like they would be better in almost any situation for what the mortar does if I’m just considering myself.

I’m a char… is the charrzooka any good?

Problem with charrzooka is that theres a time limit on it, its an expensive flamethrower. Elixir X can be used effectively on PvP and underwater. Mortar(needs to be buffed) is better if used by an ally because you have grenades. Dont forget Grenades are useless without 30 points in explosives. Warband is a below average summon but a solid choice for low lvls. Artillery isnt much use considering Engineers have much better AoE options.

Mortar would be a lot more viable in Wv3 if the Elite Supplies trait actually increased Mortar’s range as advertised. It is useful in keep defense as it gives the warriors something to do.

I’m finding Elixir X is also somewhat handy in the uncatagorized fractal map as it gives stability which is pretty handy against those Harpy aoe knockbacks. Just be careful you don’t bullrush off the edge.

I still use Supply Crate 95%+ of the time though.

That’s what I figured from my games in sPvP testing them out. Thanks all ^^

Most racial Elite skills are fun but not efficient. I think Anet should release at least 3 more elite for each class. I all my Norn-Guardian Elites are pointless.
