Guild Wars 2

Right, since apparently i’m not going to be viable to run condition builds in dungeons or fractals i’ve decided to take the plunge and try sPvP and WvW for the first time. While i totally expect to be running around with the “free kill +1” tag above my head for the first few weeks I’d like to know if i should be focusing on a condition type build or am i still looking at a dagger/warhorn/focus type build?

Thanks for taking the time to answer the Noobs questions.

Depends on role. WvW has lots of condi cleanse in zerg vs zerg. So a power necro can really romp in random pug zergs. (Things like transfusion heal, lets you run in, burst some sexy aoe dam with many targets geting around 12k heal each with very little/no healing power. Particularly if you got DS with stability.)

Can really differ if you got regular ‘running crew’. Spreading others condi’s for them can really change the tide of a WvW zerg. Guard/Thiefs can allow you to get up close and personal using dagger & wells to really rip apart people, where as, lots of the time your going to want to be a wimpy ranger with a staff or scepter.

sPvP kinda requires a nice group to ‘peel’ people off you. So it’s more what role your crew wants you to do.

Minions can be deadly 1v1 vs spec/class that can be highly annoying otherwise. (To the point you can almost ignore lots of thiefs and let your minions eat them) Tho are easily counted by lots of class’s with a single AoE.

Thanks for the reply. Looks like i jump in the deep end and learn how not to drown. :-)
