Guild Wars 2

Hi all,

It’s been a while since my last guide video (a couple years, actually…) and I’ve been getting requests to update them. I figured HoT was a good reason to do so.

The first video is done – it covers the basics, so this is a perfect video for you if you are new or don’t know much about the profession. Future videos will have more detailed gameplay, discussing skills, traits and then explanations about how to play the class in an overall sense.

Find the video here:

I am actually still around

…and working on something new…

:-D

Hey, thanks very much for the plug – I really appreciate it

Your post is awesome, by the way, and it really, REALLY explains the concept of “Build Theory” well.

Hey everyone, I released part 4a recently – and figured you guys would like to see it!

Hello,

Currently, if I am in a fight and wish to survey the surrounding area I can use left mouse to swivel the camera without turning my character, as right clicking does.

However, if I inadvertently click a player or mob, I’ll switch targets to them. This happens because a target switch occurs on clicking DOWN onto a target and not on RELEASE of the left mouse button.

This causes a lot of awkward targeting problems because the screen is often full of objects I can miss click on.

Other games, like WoW, have the feature where targeting occurs on release of the button and it works really well. Can we maybe get a toggle to change this so that it doesn’t screw up players who like the system this way?

It can’t be a hard fix, and from what I’ve seen on various online communities it would be most welcome.

Thanks!

Hi everyone – I released part 3 of the guide and made an official post that I will continually update. Just wanted to let everyone know to check that thread from now on.

I wouldn’t want this stickied. A lot of the advice is good but the actual build itself isn’t that great, and it’s far from “comprehensive.”

The build is really schizophrenia, it’s definitely not amazing for dungeons, and maxing condition damage is extremely weak in group events.

The “I tend to not interrupt my opponents much at all” line really made me cringe. That’s a bad mistake in my opinion. The mesmer has some phantastic interrupts.

Hi,

I made these videos – and I agree that SO FAR, this is not exactly comprehensive. However, I am currently in the process of editing the next video and will be hopefully releasing it tomorrow.

Agreed on interrupts – The build I showed in the second video was specifically for leveling up, and the weapon loadout and utilities I picked did not allow for interrupting.

That’s not to say, however that I won’t be covering a build that not only has interrupts in it but also is focused on that – but making these takes time. The overall goal is to cover as much as I possibly can, and go over several builds. Before we do that however, Part 3 will need to discuss Mesmer slot skills and their function, and how theyc an be utilized.

Anyway, just wanted to clear all that up. Thanks

Hi, This is Mr. Prometheus – the creator of the guides. Thanks to Tjirp for posting them here.

I am going to be releasing more soon, hopefully part 3 (Utilities) before the week is over.

Thanks for watching!
