Guild Wars 2

I hope we will have a good fight between Transfera, Piken, GH and FSP. Gandara scoring 300k every week would be way too boring for every server involved.

Either AM or AG will be fifth. Although many guilds left them, most of them didn’t care about PPT at all. Thus their rating will probably remain stable-ish around 1500-1600. Compare to UW with it’s total WvW collapse: -80 rating this week alone. But AG in top 3 will never happen.

A few tips for you based on this vid.

0:24: You used Dancing Dagger and Scorpion Wire to catch the ranger. You could have used sword #2 instead. Costs less initiative and gives you a chance for a condition removal.

0:32 Same thing again.

0:48 Shadow step doesn’t evade ranger downed #2. Weapon swap would have given you just enough ini to Cloak and Dagger off the ranger to try a stealth stomp. Not that it would have succeeded because of the guardian ressing.

1:18 Ranger interrupting your stomp nearly cost you the fight when her friends came; you were at 750 hp before healing. CnD or popping your Basilisk venom for stability would have let you stomp her easily.

1:30 You go in without any kind of disengage. Sword #2 would have given a way to fall back in case things go bad.

2:34 The stomp thing again. Using CnD would have let you stomp engi. There’s always risk of more enemies showing up, so finishing downed quickly is the safest option.

Also, consider not pre-casting Basilisk venom, especially with Lyssa runes. The boons and condition removal is very important. With kitten cool down you may really miss them during the cooldown. I actually consider Lyssa rune to my elite and stun just a small added bonus.

Other than above mentioned errors, nice fighting. I’m always glad to see more s/d and no SA in wvw.

cheers to that thief/ranger duo from dawn. that thief sword is so annoying. good fights tho.

Yeah, good fights though we were a bit outmatched. Our thief and ranger are not so good against condis, but that’s no excuse for a lost fight. So much running away in the last fights.

On a side note: December patch makes my s/d thief cry :(

It is a bit strange how many server “don’t play for point” but complain about Vizunah time coverage.

Anyway, just let everybody play like they want to play. Win without provocation and lose without rage.

Coverage leads to upgraded keeps, which then leads to hot treb-on-wall action, AC rain and all the other siege boredom. Fighting in unupgraded borderland is much more fun.
