Guild Wars 2

The video link is gonna have to do for now! Sorry guys! :/
Luckily, my guild was pretty quiet at the time.. So fun build!

My new mesmer WvW build, which rocks tbh..! Roam & Harass!
Will write some more on gear/ strategy later this evening.. I hope..
Can’t try it in ascended gear atm. But exotic works well enough.

Enjoy! My first real attempt at WvW combat in unedited form.. Seriously.
Never had an appropriate build/ gear for it before! Love roaming!

Should’ve seen the fight just before I turned on the recording!

Would love to hear your critique! Which is usually constructive..
Haven’t played in quite a while so any “new lingo”, plz explain it..!
New build as of today, so I’m still working on the combos etc..
Might see some highly questionable key presses at times. Haha..

And yeah, I’ve could’ve used my 3sec Distortion towards the end,
but some of us older players have sons to pick up from daycare..! :P

Looking forward to tonight though! This was just the first test..
Too bad a lot of new sigils/ food are account bound.. Peace!

(OBSERVE: Changing the build very slightly for later videos…)

I’m just gonna say one thing. You really need to edit your videos if you want people to watch them.

You do seem to spend a lot of time just fighting NPCs kinda aimlessly, to be honest.

Detecting scenes for editing atm.. For a “highlight only” video..! Pleased..?

15-20 min of this video should be fast forward or deleted . nothing happened in it

this is why i left wvw – or you roam for 30 min finding nothing or a commander with zerg

I appriciate you take your time to make a video but to be honest, it’s really long and the only thing that your build is killing are NPC’s and yourself. I couldn’t spot a single enemy die, I admit I skipped quite a bit so maybe I missed it. Please make more videos but please edit and use bits where enemies die!

Agreed with the above comments – in wvw videos people want to see lots of good fights with other players, so it’s worth chopping out segments and stitching them together.

We don’t want to see fights with npcs, unfair fights where say a handful of you are chasing and killing a lone upleveled player, or aimless running around with nothing happening.

Please don’t feel discouraged – rather come back with more videos doing the above and I will enjoy watching.

Have a read through this, it should help.

So, I think you could have more fun if your play was a bit more goal-directed.

Like, okay, you spend a lot of time fighting NPCs without really getting anything out of it. You just sorta go at them for a while and then run off. Try doing what you’re doing at supply camps instead of in front of towers and keeps, so you can actually claim them for your team once you wipe the guards.

Alternatively, try to actually group up with other players — even just one buddy is a big help, if you don’t want to follow the commander tag — and you can do stuff like actually cap a tower.

As it is, if I were on the other team I could safely ignore you: you’re not hitting camps or yaks or even sentries at all, you’re not sieging stuff, and the tower guards you kill will just respawn in a sec anyway.
