Guild Wars 2

Experienced minion mancers…

In sPvP, have you ever beaten two people at once in a fight with just the 3 of you skirmishing on a point?

I can’t imagine it.

I can say that I have won a 1v2 as MM. I don’t play MM a lot well rarely at all do I play it. For numerous reasons that I do not really want to get into right now. But when I did play it yes it can be done if u know what your are doing and/or the other players suck. I ran a MM build with d/f and I would kill the first target so fast that he couldn’t do much. and then just sit in Ds until your burst are back up.

You can if they’re both really bad. The main reason it’s not very practical versus 2 second players is because you won’t have much access to stability or anything that will ensure your stomp. I’ve been able to kill 1 person and get another guy to 50% a LOT of times in spvp, but straight 2v1s is a rarity because its just not that easy to get the stomps off versus anybody with a brain. But like I said, if they’re not very skillful, yeah, you can.

Probably, but not if its a warrior or phant mesmer in the group.

Yes. I have only done it with specific builds before. I actually did this during a profession tournament against two hammer warriors (before they were good, mind you). They were both obviously inexperienced players, and I had a very strong build for doing it.

Death Nova kept them from being able to revive each other, I had Well of Suffering as well, which allowed me to get the kill without needing to stomp. The instant someone went down, I’d poison them, then drop WoS on their head and have my minions wail on them, while I CCed their friend. It wasn’t actually that hard because they did absolutely no damage to me, and even though I was CCed a lot, my minions were hitting just fine.

But generally speaking, it is entirely possible to survive 2v1s against non-burst builds. The problem is you won’t ever win them because you can’t secure a stomp, and your general minion build doesn’t have the cleave to allow you to cleave them down while ressing.

When two people run up to contest home point when I am standing there, then I guess it’s time to call for help and last as long as I can, hoping the reinforcements actually show up.

This is generally the case. Against equally skilled opponents you will never win a 2v1 defending a point. Its just a matter of certain builds not needing your opponents to suck quite as much as others.
