Guild Wars 2

So, I’m okayish in the 1v1/2v2 area, but I run into problems playing against condi classes 2v2 or pushing a point against them, and I feel rather “meh” in a teamfight. With roughly the standard power build, what tools help the most in teamfights?

Hello

Well I assume that you’re running the Meta build. In my experience, those builds get countered fast because everyone already knows what to do against them (in this case, heavy condi pressure because you only have staff #4 to remove them) so I made a few variations that work really good for me:

1. Changed rune fo Strength for Hoelbrak (good for might, 20% less condi duration).
2. Instead of Retribution I’m running Corruption (Replenishing Despair, Spontaneous Destruction and Maniacal Persistence/Pulsating Pestilence depending on mood or map)
3. As I already have a good amount of incoming healing from Replenishing Despair, I switch Assassin’s Annihilation for Swift Termination (Extra DPS on low health foes).

Hope this helps, give it a try and tell me how it goes

I actually run Rage as it synergises better with the Invocation traitline, at least in my opinion.
Against condi classes I know that evasion is the best defense we have, but I’m less sure how to handle them in 2v2’s, and I feel that a lot of the burst power of the class gets negated in teamfights leaving me a mediocre buffer, which is what I’d like advice with the most.
