Follow up question: In terms of running a 3man fractal which comp would be optimal:

Guard, Necro, PS EA warr or Guard, Necro, Chrono

would condi warr be nice for epidemic synergy?
is 25 might stack > alacrity in a small man group?

not trying to look down on you or anything but, to 3man fractals to lvl100 you would need to know your class(es) and all the weapons they use and skills in order to find the suiting build and weapon combo for your group.

Doing pve content like dungeons or world bosses or little wvw would help. Might stacking, condi synergy aclarity you don’t need to know that yet on lower lvl’s, you’ll ick up things along the way.

Just because something is meta doesn’t mean it’s the best for you, you need to know you can pull your own weight and learn fights in order to to something little more risky like glass canon, and by learning i don’t mean watching yt videos, just do all the fractals from 1-100 with no skipping, you’ll learn it that way best.

Try to 3man it from lvl1 with your friends and see if you can do it, if not you can always run it with 2 extra pugs.

I dont think you’re condescending! thats ok! We’re all level 80. We’ve played the game since release for the first year +- then quit. We have a strong understanding of the classes we’ve played, outside of the changes to traits since then ( which i do agree is extensive in some areas). My question was intended to gain information about fractals and what the meta is and why. Not how do i work on endgame before actually playing the game. Also, I did say 3man, but not level 100. I dont believe you can actually run a 3man to 100? I could be wrong but the highest i’ve seen on farm is 50. As far as “meta doesnt mean its the best for you” i guess i agree that because something is meta doesnt mean a person or group of people can make it work, but mostly i believe meta is in place because its a structure that works more often than not for various reasons. I was just asking to gain that information. All in all, i think i will just talk to some people in game and go from there. Thanks for your post.

is 25 might stack > alacrity in this particular small man group?
was also told that 3 man’ing high tier fractals cannot be done to any efficiency without a druid, is this true?

will post it there. sorry. thanks for the reply.

I’ll make this as quick and to the point as I can.

Me and my two other friends are coming from a mythic raiding guild on wow. We are interested in fractals and could use help understanding a few key points.

1. We have seen that it is possible to lowman the fractals with as little as three players (which is perfect for us). Is it possible to fully clear fractal runs with only a trio?
2. If so, what classes or certain aspects are needed to do so? (stability? ability to might stack? high power builds?) all in all, What specific things need to be present to accomplish this.

Any help or information from those who have experience with this would be greatly appreciated. We’re excited to join the gw2 community!

I will but what I like most is picking a role that best supports my team effectively enough for us to be able to sustain fights. Unfortunately I’m too new and just don’t have time to play each class to get a good enough idea as to what I would choose. But I respect your answer.

So, I just started gw2 with 2 rl friends. Our goal is to eventually have a viable comp and the essential skill needed to 3 man roam in wvw. We want to be able to have the sustain to 3vx. My friends decided on thief and Mesmer, which I assume leaves the need for a tankier support role. Would medi guard / bunker guard / do better than cleric staff ele or druid? Just looking for options that are viable and sustaining my small 3 man Thanks a ton ahead of time for the help.

Yea, roaming in wvw. Wasn’t sure if more dmg was good, what type of so. Or focus more on support. Just overall wasn’t sure I guess lol.

Hello, me and 2 of my friends are old daoc players and looking to get away from wow. We miss roaming in open rvr. My friends are wanting to play a thief and Mesmer. What would be a good addition to them for a well synergized 3man. Thanks in advance!!!

i know its some what been said. but yea, cosmetic titles for kills or w.e else would be nice. (i.e. daoc’s rvr title system.) and again…cosmetic only, dont add ra’s or more trait points. just something i think would be fun. I just want me some einherjar after my name demmit!
