GW2 Mesmer WvW Guide
So I didn’t actually watch more than about a minute, and I’ll give you feedback based on what I’ve observed.
Firstly, it’s 13 minutes long. This is roughly 6-7 minutes longer than it should be. If your video is longer than 5-6 minutes, you either need to drastically condense your information or break it into two videos. Something that long will simply not be watchable for any useful purpose and would be better served as a text-based guide.
Mousing over the bar, I’m seeing that you spend a full 5 minutes standing in 1 place and talking. This is exactly what I’m referring to when I say that your video is far too long. Think about it a minute: What’s the point of the video format? You can show things! You can show footage of gameplay, you can demonstrate in a visual manner what you’re talking about. If you’re using your video to stand in 1 spot and talk, you should be writing it down instead. That entire portion of the video should be removed and put into a text guide.
Finally after 6 minutes of nothing, you get into the portion of the video that actually justifies having a video at all. Unfortunately, you don’t use this portion well. You should be pointing out your gameplay here, discussing your use of the skills in actual situations, describing this and that occurrence or callout that shows how your build fits into a group. What we actually see is you in what looks like a throw-away random subsquad (mesmer + 2 scrappers, what is that?) mis-using long cooldowns like veil and time warp for no apparent reason. Also a highlight is that one portal bomb that you didn’t even use stealth for and then cut away after 10s of fight (presumably to not show your group wiping?).
I apologize if this is a bit harsh…but nobody will or should be learning from this guide.
