Guild Wars 2

Been a bit since I’ve been into Spvp, but all the signs and matches I’ve been feeling out have been making it seem like we are massively outclassed and bottom of the rung.

I should note, I’m still making use of Meditrapper and it may well be that’s not the best build to be using nowadays.

A buddy of mine feels the same way as you. He told me he feels strong at the beginning of a fight, but towards the end of a fight or moving on to another one, he feels extremely vulenerable because the lack of available CDs. IMO it’s all about making sure you know when to engage and disengage. To make a strong impact in a match means carrying team fights IMO

your buddy needs to get better at managing cooldowns, a DH with RF has a ton of self sustain.

DH is still as strong as it was last season. it’s better at lower ranks but can still hold it’s own at higher ones too. it has good 1v1s, & good teamfight impact.

I thinknow this season can be pretty frustrating for a lot of guards since there’s a lot of people playing sustain on engi druid ele. I’ve forgotten that not every guard can just out skill every other druid and engi in their 1v1. You really have to understand where you should be and what you can actually do on guardian. Ofc this applies to every class and is a fundamental of pvp, but you gotta be somewhere that favors you or allows your teammates to be favored without hindering you too much. Typically this means taking fights vs squishies like mesmers revs necros or even warriors. However some games you’re vs something annoying like ele engi warrior druid thief where you can’t easily win fights. One counter to this comp is just play the cheese symbol build with Max health siphoning that can just push far and easily dominate the node 1v1 and live 1v2. If you’re like me and refuse to play that cheese and stam on lb, then you still have to push 1v1 probably. You’re going to want to harass far and mid as much as you can. Fight mid which will probably stalemate, go far randomly and watch who follows. Either you’ll get a bad matchup like scrapper, in which case you might pull him anyway if there’s no ele for them at mid which gives your mid fight a possible advantage. Or it could be a druid with no stone up or a warrior which favors you. If you have a partner on thief or something he could easily come and finish off a druid or even a scrapper once you pop his S.

Oh yeah thief is ur best partner and necro is 2nd. Rev 3rd despite being weak. You want something with damage tor finish the heavies you can’t always kill

I felt more frustrated last season when placements landed me in silver and I had to grind to plat.

But considering the certain nerfs some classes have gotten (even though we were hit as well) I don’t necessarily feel out of place.

No, you’ve been massively over tuned for three seasons now
