Guild Wars 2

here is a game from last night as i had the luck to match against 4 necro team

A little aside, but you’re using Staff and Sword/Shield?

What happened to the Scepter love?

He is right. What about scepter? Please, explain

scepter is better more in 1v1 situations and versus ele, rev, thief, warrior and ranger
sword is better versus guard, engi
also sword had less condi pressure versus scepter but little bit more sustain with evade

atm i feel i need to be less aggressive and more sustainable to hold 1v2 fights as i meet less durable players.

i like them both but it depends on the role i am taking

And what are your thoughts on Scepter/X VS staff?

I’m not really sure how to feel about staff right now. Ive loved it from launch but right now, I’m not sure why I even take it.

Ah interesting to see you’re using sword/x as well.

@DeathReign – Phase Retreat is still godlike in the pvp maps (and tbh that single skill carries Staff as a weapon). If Staff didn’t have Phase Retreat then yeah, Scepter/x Sword/x would be better, but anyway.
Also Chaos Storm is (IMO) more useful than Tides of Time when it comes to ally support (ie preventing stomps/resses and so on, especially on point.
Finally although Staff AA is pretty weak, it is still “AoE” through bouncing and this is useful vs multiple opponents, unlike Scepter’s single target AA.

Staff 4 is kitten now, so that definitely needs a buff, along with AA burn duration.

team mmr > class make up. I beat 3-4 necro teams a lot. A lot of the time 1/2 of the necros are just fotm necros who doesn’t even know how to play their class. Also moa sort of hard counter necro in 1 v 1 , mes have an inherit advantage over necros.

with sword i have less pressure moa’d ppl while with scepter its more easy
but versus guard and engi who can pressure the evade is more needed. even with some thief

staff is more for moving and porting around and some clone creator and bit more aoe weapon than sword
