Guild Wars 2

I would like to start an ingame guild with anyone willing to participate, no representation required, that teaches new players how to use Necromancer, ingame for that purpose only. Not with tutorials, or flimsy guides. I’m talking actual ingame build-advice/tutelage. My goals for expansion would be to expand the teachers to branch off to every class. The goal for the guild, is simply to bring them all together in an easy-to-reach manner.

I already have a few good players that are experts in various aspects of the class lined up, if anyone else would like to offer their support for the community, that would be fine.

And if any of you out there are actually beginners wishing to learn more about Necromancers in both PvP, and PvE, whisper/add me any time, and I can provide help for you.

Definitely interested in this sort of thing. I know I do alright with my necro but am always up for learning more about the class from people who have more experience. Add me in game and let me know how I can help/learn and we are good to go

Sounds good man, are you in NA/EU?

We have a single teacher in the EU, but we definitely need more.

Im open to help out on pve stuff on the eu side.

Ohhh forgot to add, I’m in NA. Where are you>?

Count me in as well – I’m an EU player, and while I can’t claim to be a super competive high end necro, I would classify myself as decent.

… a word of warning to you. While your intention is good it may turn out to be an unpleasant experience. Talking to people and explaining to them can be a hard job, especially when…

“Hello… i’m your biggest fan, can i ask you some questions ? I have 16 questions i want to ask you… can i ?”
“Hello… i have some questions… " – after answering “well that’s not true… are you sure that is right ?… are you really sure ?… how sure are you ?… how can you be so sure that you are sure ?”

This can go on for hours, sometimes they come back the next day with 16 more questions, some are ungrateful… some try to take advantage, to some you make builds for certain scenarios, then they brag on the forums with “their build”.

Secondly… while teaching is nice, no one is paying you to do it… no payment no requirements, no requirements may mean that people that shouldn’t teach, might get to teach… Last thing i want is more necromancers saying “I run an epidemic build…” and they start auto-attacking with staff in fractals 42…

I lurk around these forums a little bit every day, and i still see people that shouldn’t teach… teach… But i just think that… “well it’s their opinion…”, and then i see someone saying… “omg… thank you”.
At that point i think to my self… “awww kitten…”

I wonder how long will you be doing this before you get tired… if i had 1$ for every time i answered a question, i would buy a video card every month, and god knows i need one, mine is melting as we speak.

But enough of this doom and gloom… i wish you all the luck in the world with your initiative.

Here is a piece of advice:

Teach the newbiest of the bunch in groups, more like a school class than a private consultation hotline. Pretty much to avoid what Nemesis said.
Don’t ever give your build away or make a build for someone, this only serves to promote poor thinking and stale the meta, instead, discuss synergies and gameplay with them and let people make their own builds, this is best for all: Thinking a build forces you to get familiar with how it works, so when you get to play it you don’t feel like.. uhh what do I do now….
And a creative player might surprise us all and bring a new build or strategy to the table, many have already.

Very well, I shall add you as a teacher.

I’ve already been doing this for a very long time Nemesis, I have helped many new players. This simply the first time I’ve posted on the forums about it. However, thanks for the advice though.

Any other teachers/students want to apply? I’ve got a few more students, but could use a few more volunteer teachers.

You know that kinda already exists (the BoC all necro “guild” thing), only that noone represents and those that do just wanna ask for theorycrafting stuff.

I generally do things differently than BoC.

Just saying there is about 200 necros on one place (100ish of those) that you can gather instead of just doing it with a own post, and there is no actually defined thing thats done in BoC since 99% of the time im the only one up representing the guild (mostly since that way i got myself a second free bank for random stuff).

Yeah I am not pushing BOC, but it already has a large pop and was created for this purpose. That being said, I only once in a blue moon get contact about theorycraft questions. Since I only play a limited time daily, most if not all of that is wvw for my guild, but I welcome questions from open minded people….. Preferably not on power necros, but any mechanics, weapons, or skills questions.
