Guild Wars 2

I decided to try a new thing. Your feedback is welcome, because it will help me to improve or even if you want add something i missed, will be much appreciated.

Thanks for watching.

Thanks alot for posting. a few things worth mentioning

You have an interesting choice of sigils on staff. I’d personally choose Geomancy/energy/doom/corruption/Incapacitation. moving corruption to staff can open a slot for sigil of earth on scepter or w/e sigil you want to use instead

Guardians gain might whenever they block an attack

you should run PoC instead of lingering curse against guardians since their retal damage will pile up over time along with the burning especially when you auto attack on scepter for too long. corrupting retal nets 3 confision stacks which could deal good damage if they are spamming scepter auto attacks. You could use it to counter their opener with Shield of wrath by dodging their blind then hit them once for them gain might so you could corrupt it into weakness. Guardians wont dodge when they got blocks up or when channeling their burst skills. Dark Path is unblockable same as Corrupt Boon so it will get through the shield and also shelter. PoC is great at making medi guards use up their cooldowns quicker under pressure

Greater marks is a game changer for a terrormancer against gardians if you choose to spec for it. You could reduce staff cd, interrupt shelter, hit through Shield of Wrath and bypass Aegis with staff marks

Ray of Judgment focus 4 skills is a tracking bouncing projectile that blinds the target foe and grants regen and cure 1 condition for each bounce to friendly targets. It can be cast from far away before the guardian ports in on you to receive the benefits and make it harder for you to counter their shield of wrath on time. be wary of the blind especially when you try to cast slow unblockable skills.

if you get hit by binding blades you can sometimes use the terrain to make the pull fail to drag you all the way to the guardian. some sneaky guardians use it after whirling wrath to hide the binding blades with WW’s projectiles.

save your condi transfers for immobilize skills like hammer’s Zealot’s Embrace and Chains of Light since guardians rarely try to dodge after those skills since they set up their bursts. you can choose to transfer virtue of justice’s active or Judge’s intervention long burn procs.

Mark of evasion IMO is bad and could easily be replaced with something more useful like dagger mastery,path of midnight or staff mastery

There are so many variations of medi guardian which could determine your top priority boons to corrupt. it is usually retal and aegis but if they run stability on Virtue of Courage it might be the game changer for how you react. Some dont even run Absolute Resolution to cure 3 condition on resolve’s active.

We have to keep in mind that duels in WvWvW are vastly different from situations in tPvP, but general rules are roughly the same.

Possibly the greatest thing you can do against Medi Guard is activate your “rear view” and run at full speed foward every time you cast PBAoE. If by any chance you have some speed increase, they’re not likely to reach you without JI.

Besides that, when you see Shield of Wrath fading (1-2 sec left), dodge, spectral walk, wurm port, anything. That’s the engagement.

The absolutely most powerful weapon of Medi Guard is the Scepter. Avoid trading hits in mid range with that, avoid at any cost melee range against this weaponset.
If you’re not running away with PBAoEs, side strafe to avoid as many orbs as you can.

Best time to Path of Corruption is Shelter block.

Thanks, mate. And thanks for your feedback. I agree with the topics you posted, i’ll take them in consideration and probably add into an updated version of that video in future.

at least twice as good as mine =p

I never use Signet of Spite anymore unless I fear them first or the opponent is in panic or I know they have nothing left to negate the skill. Too many times I whiffed Signet of Spite without setting it up properly.

The same goes for other abilities. I don’t know why condition necromancers never use scepter 3. The best time to use it, IMO, is after you overload them with condis and the immobilize from tainted shackles hits them

There were times when you were desperate for life force but if you just used scepter 3 you would have been fine.

Thanks, man. Nah, we equal.

On condi the most important thing is to not corrupt him until he has used contemplation.

I like the Signet of spite because it is such a good condi burst or to make them panic.
Yeah, about scepter#3 i do that a lot, but i am working on that. Those footages were recorded like 1 month ago or so, i’ve improved a little bit on that, i guess …
