Guild Wars 2

Yea … playing for so long my Mesmer, but only PvE. I’ve been a few time in WvW but never had fun there. It was allways a long walking and nothing happens. But yesterday with a few friends, we had a fun time! I guess roaming is what I want to try, since Zerg fight seem just … meh … nothing for me

Since I’ve been PvEing all the time, I’ve just my full zerker equip in ascended stuff. My question is now: What are the stats a roaming mesmer should go in WvW? Is the only option condition damage? Is it possible to use some of my zerker gear?

How about Power, Vita, Toughness with Zerker trinkers and weapons?

And what are the commin builds for WvW? Weapons? I’m really like 0 expirienced there and I have noone that could help me ingame

Greez – counting on you!

Full zerk is a very touchy build, taking a lot of practice, but a 10/30/0/0/30 or 20/20/0/0/30 shatter build. Common weapons are Sword/x (pistol, torch) and Staff/GS or scepter/torch. Have a look at Vash or Joe’s videos, or Osicat’s Shattercat sticky, although Vash and Joe are strictly more full zerk, while Osi manages survivability.

What server are you on? With the new Edge map, providing we’re the same color and region (I’m EU), I’d be happy to meet up with you and run with you there.

You should take a look at BlackDevil’s “Hybrid” Build. I really like it and it allows you to use some berserker trinkets/weapons Here’s the link:

I’m currently running this build on full zerkers:

I would check out the build list stickied at the top and look for the ones that say [PvP/WvW] and use zerker armor. Usually those mean PvP or WvW roaming/small group play, since the two are pretty similar.

Thank you already, keep coming!

I allways heared “Full Zerker sux at WvW” and now you guys tell me to go for it? :O Did I miss something? xD I tought Power, Vita and Toughness is the way to go? O.o

Only for zerging, which you said you didn’t enjoy.

@Xyonon. Hi mate my philosophy for roaming and wvwv in general is to eliminate weaknesses and keep the dmg output. This I always trying to manage by build, gear and stats mangment + play style.

The build I atm have best success with in WvWvW and espcialy for roaming is Hidden Cat 3.0. It have the defensive stats and build to survive and do well vs otehr romaer builds like d/p and d/d thiefs, it have the condition managment to deal with engis and the speed,range and stealth to kae down necros. Its seed let you cover the whole map without cry of frustration and you can easy catch runners, I even catch warriors in teh build.

Its also a flexible build, good for team support and even dueling with a few changes to traits and utilitys. It also do good in bigger team fights.

And dont go full zerker, this is not a good option for raoming in my option, you can easy have superb dmg output AND good survival stats. I have 1700+ toughness, 1800+ with food change, 2650 power fully stacked without might and a sweet 49% crit chance.

I can roam a full evening, kill piles of ppl and only die a few times, I hate get my stacks resetted.

See this 6 min video of my youtube channel, feel free to have a look at the mesmer hompage aswel or the sticky in top of this forum.
