Wanderers is good for zergs (I even made a build around 100% boon duration because why not?)

Marauders and Soldiers (or a proper use of Cavaliers) is a really good and cheap way to get some good damage based stats. If you’re going for Frontline, aim for minimum 2.8k armor , and then put everything else into Marauder. Backline (LB and traps), you should want at least 2.4k imo.

Hey thanks, this was super helpful. What about trinkets? Is deviating into dps with those ever worth it with the above builds?

^ Can be quite different based on the role:

  • For roaming (medi trap build), I use valkyrie weapons, a couple of valkyrie armor pieces and full zerk everything else. Ideally you can go full zerk, but having less than 15k HP is asking for being one shooted, so I like to have a bit of extra hp. Due the absence of pure valk trinkets, the most cheapets way to achieve extra life is with valk weapons. Most used runes are Traveller.
  • For raid purposes can go either marauder armor or nomad. Marauder is excellent (brings everything you need) and you can balance your tankiness and dps mixing the trinkets (which are the most cheap gear to replace). Nomad is used in very coordinated teams in which Guardians are the pure walking walls eating attacks while the damage in the team is provided by other classes. Again, jewelry is easy to obtain and shuffle around. Most used runes are Durability.

Thanks for the input! What about wanderer’s? I’ve seen quite a few people opt for that.

I wanted to try out guardian in WvW but I don’t know the class well enough to be making too many decisions. I’ve been researching A LOT, but recent information is jumbled or nobody even mentions their armor combos.

What kind of armor stats do you guys generally run for WvW? Frontliners? Soldiers or Knights? Is Marauders viable? Half zerk?
Do LB DH’s use zerk? Fill me in here. Metabattle is crap at the moment and all the guides are outdated and insist on travelers runes and soldiers. Is that still relevant?

Oh yeah definitely, borderlands was a lot of fun with that many people. I actually preferred them to EB at reset and they were easy to get into.

I don’t know, I don’t agree. I think what we need more of are forum posts complaining about the long queue lines to really improve things around here. /s

Love the merger albeit a mid-tier server or two got the short end of the stick. Everyone complaining about queues on the first night of a huge new change, at RESET – lol. Calm down.

What I loathe is the identity being entirely stripped from the low pop counterparts. I’m fighting beside these people who just got completely devoured by my server’s title. What pride do they have as WvWers? They’re not representing themselves anymore. They’re on their tiny server, but work for big daddies like little slave mules. They’re seen as invaders from my server, my server is above their score, and their effort contributes to the power of my server’s name.

Hello, I run a WvW guild on Ehmry Bay server and we are looking for new WvW members. We also do Guild Vs Guild as well. My guild is [Grim] and we can help with transfers. I can mail you in game when I get off work tonight. We usually run 10-15 a night for zerg busting.

As tempting as it is we’re trying hard not to relocate servers. Thank you though!

We’re veterans by no means (have only been on the game for a few months) but WvW for several hours a day and are looking for a guild to run with. We both have several classes with most using meta and we’re more active on weekdays than weekends. We don’t prefer being that serious but will adapt if need be.

I didn’t get far enough to dive into the mechanics or alacrity. Did these new nerfs just bone me completely? Do I jump ship? New char? I was really looking forward to chrono and had just gotten bored of shatter but it looks like the smoke cleared from the battlefield and that’s all that’s left.

We’re both fairly new and come as a package – we’ve only been playing a few weeks and are looking for an older crowd to join. Generally all our freetime is dedicated to GW2 now and we’re both blindingly ignorant on most of what the game has to offer beyond 80 so it’s essentially a free rep farm. What does rep even do? I don’t know.

I’d also like to mention we’re both rather quiet/recluse/observers but are active participants in events, etc., if that so bothers you!
