Guild Wars 2

To the OP. Nice write up, but I don’t really get every thing you are saying. What is this synergy between SoP and MB and how do I use it?

Ok trying to reply to Brutaly. Why on this forum do the “Quote”, “Reply”, etc. next to someone’s post only show up sometimes, but most of the time not? Anyway, thank you Brutaly for the answer. It was my understanding that support doesn’t really get you anything in WvW. True?

VoJ blinds? It only says that it burns.

Ohhh, so there are both passive AND active aspects to them. That explains a lot. Thank you very much for the very detailed explanation Wizardauz!

Ok I know this is a very basic thing, but I don’t really understand the use of virtues. We have a set of virtues that sit over our skill bar on the left, but most of the time they show up on the right hand side also, as if they have already been activated, even when I have not activated them. Do they self activate? How do virtues work. I know they are very important to the Guardian and I’ll never be a good Guardian without first figuring out the virtues.

Next I would love some pre-traits pve build help. I say pre-traits because I am low level and I know that until level 40 or so that traits don’t really play a big role. I would just love a good build for quick, fun pve leveling.

Also, is Guardian any good a WvW pvp? I don’t want to bother leveling him up if he is just going to suck end game. I’m a little worried being as Guardian is nearly ALL melee.

Thanks for any help

I would suggest you try Mesmer. It is a tough class to learn, requiring allot of finesse. The players that put in the effort and time to master the Mesmer can pull off some really cool stuff though.

Agree.
If you play a mesmer well, you seriously feel like Neo when you are fighting. I was doing WvW yesterday, my team smaller fighting against a big zerg and it was awesome.
I got in range of the zerg, popped iZerker, mirror blade, switched to 1Hsword, popped iWarden, feedback the zerg. Then I dodge rolled in which spawned a clone, iLeap and swap, blurred frenzy, evade, mind wrack, , get rooted blink away, zerg on me so I pop mirror image, evade and immediately pop distortion. Got three seconds invuln from that and got away scot free.
No other class I have played has that awesome feeling where you can just run into a zerg like the matrix do a ton of damage and get out before they knew what hit them…maybe thief can, but I don’t think they would have the style that mesmer has.

Man you sure make it sound fun. I wish that I could pull off half of that. I love the Mesmer class. I think it’s my favorite, but I can’t play it very well. I keep finding myself thinking about quitting it but I really want to get good at it. I’m only around lvl 20 but I die rather quickly.

While I have no problem with them making an “option” to change or turn off the effect, I certainly wouldn’t want the developers to take it out or change it. I rather like the effect. For some strange reason it greatly adds to the attraction that I have for this class. I was actually quite surprised to see this post with someone who hates it so much.
