Guild Wars 2

OP pretty much sums it up. If you’re on a poorly populated server, as I am, you’re going to lose to the enemy zerg over and over again. The ‘strategy’ is to get a big zerg and steamroller the opposition. A couple of days after the reset and most maps are a single colour and nobody bothers putting up any resistance. Should be better, but isn’t thanks to primitive game design.

I’m trying to understand how it is that in WvW I seem to hit for about 200-400 and frequently get hit for 1000+. This isn’t some sort of whine thread, but I want to figure out what it is that is making the difference. Quite often if I’m in a fight my opponent seems to have almost all of their health left when I go down and I’m really not sure why.

I’m a new level 80, in berserker gear. Not the best gear in the game admittedly, but not awful either. I know that by not stacking vitality or toughness then I’ll be taking hits, but why am I not dishing it out too?

Any suggestions about how the mechanics of the game are working to prevent me from doing what I consider even reasonable damage would be appreciated.
