Guild Wars 2

I’m not the best Guardian out there, in fact I don’t really think i’m good at all but I just though I’d throw a video out there with some Guardian action

Any advice and tips is appreciated.
My guildies already told me to stop clicking but it’s habit if clicker players considered bad then i’ll be bad forever

Good Vid. Nice Mobility.

Well my advice… Plz consider a Stability esp in team play.

I thought about it but, I love my triple Meds alot lol

Dang man good stuff, Hammer and Greatsword is the best combo imo.

Triple Meditation for the win!!!!
Yea I run a very similar build but with sword/focus instead in s/tPvP.
Some advice: I know you stated you’re gonna stay a clicker but I can’t help but say it really helps to break that habit (and yes, I know how hard of a habit it is to stop, I was a clicker for years in City of Heroes then in gw2 I managed to be converted). My suggestion would be to make an alt and level it up with key binds. You can always click if you really need to but try as hard as you can to not click at all. Just find what’s comfortable for you to use.
In some real advice: take instant cast meditations. I don’t know what you have in its place but it’s huge to make merciful intervention instant cast. It also allows you to start stomp → merciful intervention → judges intervention for a near guaranteed stomp, which is nice since you have no stability. Also use f3 for aegis to block warrior hammer or guardian knock back for successful stomps. All in all, nice job though.

it’s been a while since i played in WvW (i blame you SAB and TM!!). had a LOT of fun in EB today

went triple meds as well. and slotted Stand Your Ground, then i was like nahhh. gonna go with triple meds this time heh. though, it did cost me a guaranteed stomp when i got pulled away. : (( lol can’t have it all.

and yes, @Craig, i love playing with focused mind as well. many will say there are many other traits far better, but if your focus is on meds, i’d say it can be huge. (looking forward to the focused mind change come mid oct though!!)

Stop clicking. Awesome vid though.

I’m biased though because I’m the other guardian in some of these vids. Ha! But gj Raylze.

This was my first video and everyone in my guild is surprised I turned out to be a clicker xD
I think i’ll try and stop being scrub what keybinds do you recommend? or is this something I’ll have to figure out for myself?

Anything easy for you to reach. I personally use r, z, and x for utilities and c for elite, then shift + 1, 2, 3, and 4 for f1-f4. However, if you have big hands and can reach 6, or if you want to use t or something, that’s great too. Also, you can get rid of e and q and use mouse to look around (which you should do anyways, I just like e and q instead of a and d and don’t like hitting a and d, so I don’t use them. Again, I suggest leveling an alt (preferably a class you’d like to have anyways) and level it using key binds. Also, as personal preference, I switched dodge (v) and 1 as v is easier for me to use with my ranger sword (which ask any ranger and he’ll tell you auto attack is terrible to have on with sword). But basically use whatever feels comfortable to reach. I use very wierd keybinds as well because I have small hands. You can also look up some guides on good keybinds. Also, don’t expect it to feel “natural” at first. It will take a while but eventually you’ll get used to it. Honestly it took me a month to truly convert but my response time is like 10x better. Good luck if you want to go through with it.

Edit: forgot to mention I use “n” for heal. Basically most of my utilities and “emergency keys” are activated with my thumb, because I’m a bassoonist (which is a woodwind instrument with 13 thumb keys) so I have a very well trained and fast thumb. Random fact of the day.

Hi Zelcova!
Very nice video
Concerning your clicking, I am actually amazed that you have TIME to click In half the situations where you went to click your heal I simply would have dien in the meantime

May I ask what build you are using? I find it hard to derive from what I see in the video. That might be a key to improve your play
I ve seen you blink-stomping so you propably know this:
you can start channeling GS #5, Hammer #3,#4,#5 and then jump to your target with JI, especially nice with Hammer #3 since it gives you a 2400 range Immoibilise. JI will always teleport you 1200 yards into the direction of your target, regardless if its within range or not.
But again, your propably know this.

Thanks for the advice guys I’m trying so hard to change but at this point being a clicker for about year. I might as well try to prove that not all clickers are that bad I play with a regular mouse and keyboard so if I get a game pad or a gaming mouse I might be able to switch somethings

My build is just something standard. (0 10 30 30 0)
