Guild Wars 2

Yes, I tried the traditional face-tank. I charged in and shield-blocked and it worked, but only for as long as the ability was up.
Then I melted. I thought you could tank at least to some degree in this game but it seems like this game has completely done away with the healing and tanking role… not that I’m complaining.

Alright alright. The dungeon WAS AC in story mode. I’m a warrior that uses GS’s with 10 trait points in strength and 10 in arms. I use signets for the passive benefit and the arms perk. I tend to stay away from banners because of their odd mecanic (I’d rather not have to rely on them but it sounds like I’ll have to). We had a warrior with a warhorn, which counts as a support I guess?

Edit: I’m level 32… the rest were 60+

I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong forum, but it seemed fitting.

Okay, SO, pretty new to this game- got it a week or so ago. Just ran my first dungeon an hour ago. Those mobs? Those mobs (the trash before the bosses). I can’t get over how difficult they are to take down. The bosses were much easier to take down than the mobs.

My problem here is that while I understand how bosses work- moving/rolling out of the way of their attacks- the mobs on the other hand hit absurdly hard and one cant simply just dodge all of their attacks. Focus firing one mob didn’t really help the problem, as my group and I still wiped. I tried tanking (lol), again to no avail.

By this time it’s become very clear we were doing something wrong, but we can’t seem to figure out what the problem is. GW2 obviously isn’t meant to be played like the traditional MMORPG.

What I would like to know is: How the heck are you supposed to run dungeons in this game? How do you deal with mobs?
