I bought this game at launch but didnt find pvp very interesting or well implimented.

However I know games are rarely optimal at launch and I keep checking back every few months and almost nothing has changed.

I dont follow forums or press releases but has anet announced any imminent changes or overhauls for pvp?

New warrior build question

I am new to the game and have decided to play a warrior.

I am not looking to be a high end pvp player just someone who want to be competent in 1v1 combat.

I was thinking fo stacking cond damage and having swords as melee and a rifle for ranged. Is this a viable concept, or should i specialize in just being melee or ranged?

ty in advance.

Are melee classes disadvantaged

Hello,

I am a new player and looking to play a melee based character like warrior. Do ranged classes or ranged builds have a significant advantage over melee in pvp?

I took a look at various class abilities and it looks like a melee class could burn a cooldown to close the gap just to see the ranged burn one and reopen it?

Am I wasting my time sticking with melee weapons on a guardian or warrior?

ty in advance

New Warrior PVP question

Hello,

I am a new player who will be playing almost exclusively PVP.

I have 2 questions:

I like a melee playstyle is it possible to play a warrior and wield a huge sword or dual wield axes and pump out damage in PVP.

Also, most games give a huge advantage to ranged classes, is a warrior wielding melee weapons at a disadvantage against most classes?

TY in advance.

New Player Arena Question

Hello,

I am finally leaving warcraft and moving to gw2. I tried the game at release but didnt like the pvp system.

Have they introduced arena style pvp (2v2 or 3v3) or announced such a thing coming soon?

Also I was surprised to see so many threads about bad imbalance, I know qq’ing is going to happen but is this game really that bad?

I would figure with a very simplistic pvp system and a long running predecessor they would have those sorts of issues worked out?

My hope is I can come to this game and not have my favorite classes ride the nerf/buff elevator every patch like warcraft.

TY in advance

New player guardian dps question

Hello,

I am a new player and want to play a melee dps class for pickup battlegounds.

Can a guardian pump out damage in a dps role, I mean enough to actually be competitive, or do they have to play a support role?

I was going to play a warrior but several of my friends have said that has been nerfed into the ground.

TY in advance.
