UPDATE: Our numbers have grown 100% in the last 2 weeks! That’s right, we went from 2 people, to 4!
Let’s keep the vibe going, let’s keep the recruits flowing, just do it!
Welcome to Guild Wars! We are a start-up guild that is looking to recruit eager young redshirts to our cause!
What is our cause?
Domination and subjugation of the land, of course! By that, I mean, we want people who can do raiding, fractals, dungeons, and maybe even dabble in PvP and WvW, we don’t judge!
What makes us different?
-Very lax requirements, all you need is a sense of humor and a pulse!
We don’t want you to rep us 100%, and you shouldn’t need to rep any guild 100%, that is not how you meet new people! We will learn fights together, no need to know them ahead of time. We will also help you level, so there is no reason to only accept level 80’s.
-We are not a competitive guild.
Look at us as a jumping point. We’ll take you, as a beginner, and when you’re ready, you can go to a guild that works professionally on the content that we do. We have no aspirations of greatness, we just want to play the game for what it is, a game. Try any spec that you like and we won’t be disappointed!
-We don’t have a preset time for activities.
Many people can’t make certain times due to work and life constraints. When I played WoW, our 8pm-12am raid time was brutal when I was in school. Since only 10 people need to do a raid in GW, they can all schedule a time that would fit with each other. Anyone that is on will find a dungeon group with anyone else who can do that dungeon.
Conclusion
Did you always want to try out that condition-signet Warrior? How about a AoE healing Engineer? Do you want an experience like never before?
Let’s turn the work back into a game,
Let’s be [bad].
To join, just message me in game, and if I’m offline, just send a letter by carrier dove! You’ll get invited as soon as possible!
It’s not about “viable” and more about “how fast”. I won’t be stuck on a 40 min long fractal with a healing support ranger, nor with a lb ranger (except some fights). And not to be rude, but your guild a) Are Good friends or b) lack knowledge and/or skill.
In PvE, DPS > Healing
Hence, frost spirit, spotter, sword and wh are a must. Drakes, and the feline with the might f2 are too, and sometimes also a trap fire when your team don’t have a fire field. I’ll go ahead and say that also 5 on NM is a must, otherwise you’re nerfing your pet, which is 30% (or so, I don’t remember the exact number) of your dps, and anyway you don’t need 6 on Skirmishing because you should be using zerks. Also, and axe for some fights won’t do any harm.
I don’t even know the people in my guild outside of the game, but we’re doing really awesome and the guys I run with are very highly skilled, thank you very much. Since my buffs, compounded with theirs increase our damage so much, we run fractals faster than our other groups that do full zergs.
In PvP of all sorts, I always get complimented on how well I can heal people up, cleanse them, and buff them, people around me take a longer time to die meaning we can hold a point better than a full zerg.
I agree with Nature Magic points, and I agree on Skirmishing points. Axe+Warhorn is my secondary set, too.
But I agree, Skill and Knowledge are what is necessary to make a build function, and if someone can’t run a healing and support build then they lack those qualities.
EDIT: If you can’t agree with this, then we shall agree to disagree. I have the facts of experience with my build and guild, and you have some opinion on a broken and one dimensional meta. I won’t be defending an amazing build anymore, if you don’t look into it then it is your loss.

Healing is a wasted stat in GW2 PvE. Support heavy builds are equally bad. I know, we can all play how we want and that’s okay. I just want you to know, that if you ever want to take your game to the next level, you should get rid of the support/defense and learn to live without it while still dealing far superior DPS.
My game is at a pretty high level now, and my guild loves taking me to pvp and dungeons because we don’t die and conditions don’t stick to us. I also do a fair bit of damage, not a ton, but it isn’t something to sneeze at. Healing is amazing in this game when you know how to do it. The only time that the build failed me was when we did a Fractal and got Social Awkwardness.
If I ever get some time to make a video about it, I will, but everyone should realize that support builds are far, far from horrible.

I didnt start this to criticize ranger as class, you dont have to defend yourself. Its a very good class with interesting mechanics capable of doing great in groups. I meant it to criticize rangers who brings nothing to group, camp in longbow and refuse to learn.
Wait, wait, I wasn’t being defensive and I didn’t think you were criticising, haha. I was just letting you know that I am the ranger that you’re looking for! I agree with you, but not just for ranger, I think that every class should have some form of support in their build.
My build is for support and healing. Frost Spirit is a standard for me, as is my massive healing over time. It does a fair amount of damage, but it’s much better at getting the group as a whole to do tons of damage while living through big hits.
How would you manage it? If the guild is doing really well, I’d expect people to lie to get in.
I’d have a preference that people don’t make guilds that don’t allow people in for things that they didn’t choose, but that isn’t something that should, would, or could stop you.
I tend to run a Blue and Red Moa in my support spec, occasionally switching one or the other out for a Jungle Stalker depending on the fights. Never discount their heals and their screeches, I feel like they’re underutilized and so is running a support role.
Is it an ArenaNet certified authentication, and if so, where is it?
I got hacked. I lost a lot that I worked hard for.
I’m waiting for a response, as of 5 hours ago, from the staff, getting more and more frustrated.
So, here’s an idea, to prevent this sort of thing from happening anymore.
Authenticators are fine, but I don’t have a smartphone, so I can’t use it.
A PIN should be necessary for the first trade of any log in session. That is, you log in, go to sell an item, and are told to submit the PIN. If you can’t you cant buy or sell anything, and you cant even drop anything, until you get it right.
If you get it right, you are free to use the account to its full extent until you log off.
This would cut down on damage done through hacking. It’s very easy to implement, and it has been done, to a great effect.
On kitten RuneScape…
Can you roll back accounts now?
I really need it…
