Is Sword/??? viable for ZvZ
in zvz skill lag festival. so from sceptr here about nothing. staff to
so i just take my sword and fallof comander spam #1 button
and OH wep is focus. its reflect projectle if traited and speed buff. from oh sword u got nothing. 1 block in 11 sek and phantasmal who die in 1 sec after sumon
I’m kill you’r bessies
wvw isnt laggy for me even in massive zergs…. and whast?
I don’t suffer lag either.
Lately I’ve been running sword, and yes you can just jump in the melee train, or just behind it, and swing on downed players. If you don’t have the toughness though, it’s probably not somewhere you want to be.
If you’re ranged and zerker or some craziness, scepter will hurt your target. But you can just tag with staff all the same.
On t1 server I sometimes get nasty lag in zvzvz. But I use sw\t when staff is on cd to tag a few more people with burning and frenzy
i play on t.c which is teir 1
i have an oc’d i53570k @ 4.0
a heavily oc’ed 7950 (to about 7970 benchmark scores)
and 8 gb 1600 ram
and sometimes i will get fps drops to 25-30 in the BIGGEST of zergs with everything maxxed including super sampling
T.c. isn’t tier 1… just saying.
I like Sword/Focus+Greatsword or Staff in Zerg-v-Zerg fights. If you get the Focus trait, your 4 turns into a low-cooldown projectile reflect and your 5 actually survives for slightly longer than no time at all. Then, you can use 3 to catch fleeing players after the zerg fight ends and your autoattack to help deal with pesky Stability-junkies. 2 gives good low-cooldown Invulnerability, too, which is really strong when massive damage is coming down. Like if you get Immobilized, you can pop 2 to buy time for your condition removal.
And yeah, TC is Tier 2. I should know — my server’s fighting yours right now!
How to Condi Reaper on a budget
Everything I say is only in reference to PvE and WvW.
No matter how good your computer, you will experience skill lag when 2 zergs collide. Fps lag is dependent on your computer, but skill lag is dependent on the server kittenting its pants.
To answer the op, yes, main hand sword is a great choice in wvw Zerg combat. The cleave allows you to hit multiple people, as well as aoe strip boons, blurred frenzy is an amazing defensive tool, and illusionary leap/swap is a great spammable stunbreaker and leap combo.
