Guild Wars 2

Hi,
I’m here to ask for your advices!
These days it became impossible for me to winthe 3rd round of tourney on Battle of Kyhlo with a pug since it often happends to be against a premade with a treb Mesmer in the oposite team.
What I call treb Mesmer : Mesmer with a strong 1v1 spec, usualy a fantasm build using Portal and MAO as an ult.
So I would like you to give me your opinion on how succesfully deal with this situation.
What I’ve tried :
- Try to destroy the treb by myself, most of the time I’m getting bursted down by the Mesmer, when I succeed to put him in a bad situation I’m MAOed. I sometimes succeed in killing the Mesmer but my spec don’t allow me to destroy the trebuchet before the Mesmer to be back ( Staff & Scepter )
- Try to completly ignore the treb, I can’t succed in capping and holding point with a good treb player activly shooting at my team ( maybe there you’ll have some advices for me on this point )
- Try to take with me another player to get the treb down : usually the other player is MOAed with pretty much result in the #1 situation.
- Try to take with me two other player : we loose of one of our points.

Of course usually the treb is repared few seconds after it was destroyed.

How would you deal with such a situation? Is there any special spec that would allow me to have a bigger impact on this particular map? Usually how would you play against such a Mesmer?

Thx,have a good day!

PS: I’m usually playing Well Necromancer

If your going to deal with the Treb than you have to use some kind of power build. Since the point is to take down the Treb than a Wells power build is the way too go. If the Mesmer sticks around they take the full force of the wells, if they don’t you can kill the treb.

Another thing you can do is don’t kill the treb but get it down to 1% health than drop a bunch of marks on it. That way if the Mesmer does come back to use it they end up killing the treb, by running over the marks.

Oh and take the Flesh Golem elite as when it attacks it does a ton of damage on destructible objects.

So a well power build with axe or dagger or both.

As a necro you should never be going to kill their treb, unless maybe they fix minions AI and you run with that, but until then you do not try to kill it. What you need to kill their treb is an ele, thief or a warrior, all of these can demolish trebs very quickly. If they cannot handle it alone, then somebody should idealy help them kill the mesmer, or at the very least make the mesmer run away, and that could be upto the necro, depending on the team set up.

Of course if you’re pugging then you should just accept that any organised team will demolish you.

Sad but true. We just don’t have the burst damage needed. I was just trying to give some options if you were going to do it.
