Guild Wars 2

Hey Guys,

i got a new PC and WvW isn’t lagging anymore. So I want to start going into WvW a little bit more. Since I played some PvP, i know how the meta thief roaming build works etc.

My Questions: How do you roam? Do you guys just wander around the map and search for lonely people? or do you contest camps? do you solo roam or go in small groups? Is it rewarding drop / WvW exp wise, or should i zerg for that? What encounters should i avoid as thief?

Greetz. (What classes are better at / on par / worse than thief when it comes to roaming?)

I usually solo roam, sticking southern halves of the two enemy borderlands. Just run back and forth between the three camps, capping them when you can, and you’re bound to run into someone, as long as it’s not totally dead.

Hey

This video should answer quite a few of your questions

Be warned that solo / small group roaming in WvW isn’t exactly a rewarding thing to do, it’s just good fun between other activities usually. The reward for it is almost nothing but the pleasure of it.

You can play very lame as Thief in WvW because of the 3sec reveal instead of 4 in pvp. And you’re gonna need to since a lot of the roamers these days are Condi mesmers that you usually should avoid like plague. ( perplexity runes makes them really silly in this mode )

Roaming:
85% boredom
5% getting rolled by zergs
5% cheese teefs and mesmers
3% gank squads/ruined 1v1s
2% real 1v1s

That being said it is a good time. Just run around, kill sentries and junk until you find a fight.

Truth lol. You can run around looking for people but it can be tough finding 1v1 fights. Usually you can start attacking a camp, wait for swords, and people will start showing up. Good way to pull some fights.
