Is Longbow really that bad: I’ve tried it in WvW and I find it really clunky and not particularly amazing when it comes to doing damage
Is there such thing as a DH build not using LB? thanks
I’ll intrude…..is symbolic any good in WvW?
Any decent symbolic build for WvW?
Thanks
what gear are you using?
i’m curious…why not always longbow?
since when have condi builds come back in fashion? silly question but I’ve just come back to GW2
(edited by Rhaegar.5120)
on a condi rev……how do you deal with range situations? would using a hammer fit with glint/mallyx?
how’s offhand axe in WvW?
how do you deal with
conditions?
hey guys…once again I’m returning to GW2 after more than a year and I’m not sure about my old ‘mains’ which used to be guardian/Warrior/ Revenant.
At the beginning of HoT I as ver excited about playing Revs but then I recall a lot of nerfs!!! How are Revs doing theses days especially if compared to Guardians and Guards <strong> in WvW</strong>!
What are the main changes?
Any new build that people are referring to or is it the condi meta in WvW?
thank you!!
I shall join the thread….can someone advise on a guide to craft ascended weapons? I spend most of my time in WvW and open PvE…is that ok or do I need dungeons and fractals?
thanks buddy!!!
is Condi the current meta: how are warriors doing?
I took a look at metabattle…is it still the reference point for builds?
hey guys…once again I’m returning to GW2 after more than a year and I’m not sure about my old ‘mains’: how are Warriors doing in WvW these days especially if compared to Guardians and Revs?
Are we still competitive in both roaming and zerg?
What are the main changes?
Any new build that people are referring to?
thank you!!
I join in for similar reasons: I’m returning after a year and I’d like to hear some opinions about the state of Guard vs. Rev vs. War in WvW
thanks
Hey there…I’m probably lured in by the new expansion but I’m due to return to GW2 after a long absence.
1. I’d like to find out how my 3 preferred classes are doing: warrior, guardian and revenant…any major changes? Are they viable in WvW?
2. any current meta?
3. what are the main changes to WvW in the last year?
many thanks
I’ve just returned to gw2 and I’ll go back to my good old warrior: I’ve no idea about the state of warriors and whether to go condi or power….my focus is WvW,;
Is the performance very different? Any builds I should check out)
what kind of warrior build are we talking about? power, GS and mace/shield?
thanks EW: the problem with videos is that most people post successful fights and very credible builds. I’ve already looked at most profession and all of them will eventually look good, very good.

Hi all,
I’m returning after a longish break (….really couldn’t digest the desert maps….) and I need some help deciding which class to invest my time in!!
Mostly i’ll be focusing in WvW and I’d like to find out how the 3 classes are doing in this modality. I like to roam and dip in and out zerg when I need to. Squishy classes or builds are not really for me: I guess it doesn’t help i’m not a great WvWer.
I welcome any suggestions, hints or comments. Thank you in advance
is there such thing as playing a condi rev in WvW? i’d love to know how Condi Revs do in WvW
Hello all,
I’ve just finished levelling a rev and got enough points to unlock good old Glint. I like the idea of playing Mallyx/Glint for a condi build but in fairness i’m not really sure what i’m doing!
this is the rough build I have in mind (i’d like at least 20k HP): http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vlAQRApX8OWOVm0ASYB71f/e1M+oEA-T1xGAB2a+bX1f6RJHAKBLf/hP0P0ryBSB8ocL-w
I’d be really grateful if could give me some suggestions/hints!! Many thanks
hi guys thanks for the invites but I’m playing on the European severs!
I shall give myself an ‘up’
hello all,
Just returned to gw2 and found myself in a desert wvw wise. I’m definitely going to change server and I’m also looking for a guild to join ideally on piken, desolation, seafarer or, gandara
I have 3 lv80 characters: warrior, guardian, revenant
Ideally I’d like the guild to have some main characteristics:
1) international (English speaking)- I love to play with people from different countries
2) WvW focused – it’s my favourite part of the game
3) mature – I like to play in a decent atmosphere plus I’m also 40 lol
4) numbers – a decent size….strong or weak, however…couldn’t care less!!
Many thanks

anyone experienced playing a Cond Rev in WvW?
Am I the only one that feels that DH is a downgrade compared to Guardian?
Traits are not strong as some lines you’re forced to give up, traps are mostly useless in pve (the best one got nerfed from 25 vuln to 10) and virtues are awful.
Longbow feels weaker, or at least less useful, then scepter+focus, at least in VB where mobs can 1hko a zerk Dragonhunter.But virtues are the worst part. The effect is applied at the end of the cast, while on Guardian they’re instant and basically with best effects.
I second every word!!!
Virtues are pure and simple crap!!! The rest lacklustre at best.
The only plus is the look of my guard with a bow: sadly, if nothing changes i’ll have to stick with the scepter
new virtues are clunky: they need to be instacast
traps: I don’t see how they will add much to any of the current builds I play; and the longbow: it looks good but the skills seem slow and ineffective.
Maybe it’s a question of l2p but at the moment I wouldn’t use a lb in wvw
hi and thanks for the interesting discussion. Could anyone be so kind to flag the main and most used Mes builds? I’m aware of metabattle but i’d rather have some opinions here on the forum
clunky and underpowered
anyone with soldier gear?
always loved using Soldier gear. and actually I’m quite fed up of being pigeon held into 2 meta builds…either zerg or medi
anyone had any experience with an hybrid (zer/roaming) build?
Run Hybrid condi, run scepter, watch people melt even if they try to run… It is wonderful.
hybrid condi build…me likey…… I think. what do you mean by that?
why do you guys still play warrior?
if you want condi just go another class, it will be 10x easier with 10x result
this is a very good point. I’ll have another go with condi but I really think I should stick to what warriors (at least the way I play it) do best: big sword and axe/shield
I’m till interested and curious about new styles though
I’m still struggling to use a condi build. so far I find myself more at ease with the usual GS/axe-shield
I think I need to L2P with a condi set up
Let me see if got things right
1)am I right to think that a Warrior would allow me to make more mistakes due to being naturally tankier?
2) warrior seems faster and more mobile
3) warrior play-style seem more aggressive
4) guard has more active defensive but a bit squishier
am I talking rubbish?
what are the main differences you can find in WvW; in terms of playing or fighting a War or a guard;
anyone with videos? keep your WvW feedback coming!!
I’m interested too…forever undecided between them 2
im trying out this rampager build i made and then upload a video to show you guys how i do…so far i found a 20606 war that beat me, tied with a hybrid engi, 2/2 won vs a guard and same guard beat my shout gs/hm 2/3, won 2/2 with 2 different rangers, all solo fights
I really like your build Dark! what would you say the key is?
@nikeEU: thank you for the tips!!!
Am I getting ready to pick up my condi weapons again?
WvW wise….how would you compare guardians and warriors (roaming and zerging)
i’m struggling with condi builds due to practically every blooming player having enough Condi removal stuff; am I the only one with this issue?
hey guys, thank you so much for the replies!!! If I could use your comments to draw conclusions on the server I’d say the community is pretty good!!!
After an evening spent ‘chasing the blob’ and your comments I’ve definitely made up my mind…Piken her I come!!!!!
Anyone with space in a friendly international guild?
I’m considering moving down from a T1 server to Piken Square. The reason is that life on a T1 server is a bit too complicated and zergy for me.
I love big battles but chasing blobs is not really my idea of fun. Roaming is sad and lonely already but on top of that I either end up dead or legging it.
Someone suggested that joining a T3 server could help and I was thinking about Piken Square.
Any comments or suggestions with regards to your wvw life there? Many thanks!
I’ve been trying a similar set up and I’m actually liking it…liking it a lot. it allows me to strike from distance and also remain highly mobile through GS
hello all,
I rediscovered GW2 a few weeks ago and when I relogged I found myself in a Tier 1 server…oooops; I love WvWing but sadly, due to my lack of skills/experience, I spend most of my time dead on the floor.
Although I can see the funny side of this I have resigned myself that changing to a more relaxed server wouldn’t be a terrible idea!!
I’m looking for a less ‘pro’ server where I can have a bit more space to L2P properly: a more relaxed server doesn’t mean playing in a desert or with people who don’t give a toss about winning or losing!!!!!
If I could find ‘the right’ server I could also do with finding a relaxed and mature guild. An English speaking international one could be a plus!!
thanks to anyone for help/suggestions/tips
Medibuild…I know I know: it’s far from a metabuild but when I go zerker I feel realltoo squishy.
Stat wise I feel comfortable having 20k HP, about 2.7K armour leaving the offensive stats, IMO, not too low. I also like the idea, a little plus, to have 35% boon increase.
The other variable I need to consider is the fact that I’m still rather poor and cannot afford different gear sets. Hence the need to keep the same gear and quickly change the traits (see below) when I join a group.
That Axe/Shield looks an awful lot like a Hammer to me.
oooops edited. correct build now!!!
what do you think about something like that?
(edited by Rhaegar.5120)
how about something like this for a non solo build?
prob with the typical medi build…I feel way too squishy
that’s my problem with it, it gave me less power, a little more crit chance, more skills that I have to use active instead of passive. im sure I just have not yet had enough practice with the build, but for the time being I seem to do less damage and die faster
same here. that’s why I thought adding more toughness and HP could help me. But before I actually spend gold I’d like to hear from some veterans
prob with the typical medi build…I feel way too squishy
well spotted: it was supposed to be GS and Hammer!!
As mentioned in the OP I’ve already tried the meta builds but I’m struggling to make them fit my style.
