Guild Wars 2

Has a clear roaming meta emerged for the HoT WvW metagame? I’ve heard that condition builds are all the rage right now. Has anybody had any success with this? Everybody’s talking about Viper gear too. What are you guys running? How has the meta changed now that we’ve gotten to play with our new toys for the past two weeks?

Viper gear is broken, expertise is not applying any effects.

This is what I have been using lately. It’s not condi though, I find it difficult to stay awake while playing condi.

Feel free to swap out CI for BD if you find you need a little more sustainability.

I believe it’s been fixed

This statement implies that anybody is actually roaming in WvW atm.

This is a faulty assumption, nobody is roaming, even at high tiers. In T2 (FA) prime time, there’s maybe a 2-3 people roaming on any given map.

While Fay is totally right, that roaming have been pretty dead, I would just like to add that it’s slowly starting to live up again! I at least The last two days in T4 on EU have seen some good fights and stuff! Dueling have start to live up again aswell, so that is great!
But hence, I’m afraid it’s far to early to say what is the roaming Meta, many of the players I meet are running new and intrestring builds they are testing out!

This has been the case with me. FA has picked up a bit. I just got back into WvW a few days ago.
