Guild Wars 2

I should be clear. I like most of GW2, but just couldn’t get into the specific HoT map (that big jungle place – don’t recall the name). So if you can advance the new specs without that map, I’d be happy to come back.

As the subject suggests. Definitely hated the tiered HoT map and requiring groups do get advanced class points. Quit one week after expansion launch.

Thoughts?

Cheers!

With AI as poor as it is, MM should be left alone. I think my minions actually attack targets 60% of the time.

Totally not helpful, but I find playing a minion mancer against mesmers is the most viable build so far. You can sustain just so much while still dealing out fair DPS and fears to break up their rotations.

I’ll give that a whirl. Thanks for the advice.

I’m struggling a bit with Guard. I find I either role a burst build or a bunker build, but I don’t like either extremes (too squishy or too little dmg). I like builds that sit in the middle – good sustain, but can also whittle people down with fair dps.

Any suggestions? Build links?

thanks!

Its fine if you are a mesmer warrior or necro because they melt everyone now xD

I wouldnt ask for nerfs too if I were playing them.

I melt people with my ranger. Guess Rangers should be nerfed too.

Necros are designed to bring some chaos to the condi-meta.

Also, if you’re finding them too tanky (which many necro builds are being design around now), it’s probably a tank build (duh) which means their dmg really won’t be too worrisome. Bunker builds are a battle of attrition – and sometimes it’s better to just peace out and find a different target.

link dead…….

Trying something like this.

Helping me survive the condi bash. Using mantras defensively – liking the extra toughness while channeling.

Thoughts?

any other suggestions?

tetrodoxin.2134:

Dom/Duel/Insp with Power Block, Shattered Conc, DE, Heal- and Interrupt Mantra (Restorative traited) wrecks every ele. Seriously. You’re healing up as fast as a medi guard with that setup, and condis aren’t even a problem anymore (cleanse/heal on shatter, cleanse on heal, heal on mantra, regen or phant defender on top of that)

Can someone provide more detail on this build? Wepons used? Utilities?

Noob to guardian PvP (typically play mesmer). I’m hoping to find a tanky build that can still dish out decent dps.

Thanks!

I like this – could offer some great support and still dish out.

Out of the gate on patch day, this build did quite well – certainly was fun / trolly. But once the swarms of condi players hit the map, this build begins to under perform. Needs more ways to cleanse/avoid dmg.

Is rekting a good thing?

Maybe you could post it with greater detail (build/wepons/gear/utilities etc) with Mists instead? http://intothemists.com/calc/

what build you using?

Thanks for providing some neat options ya’ll. Keep it coming

It sounds like I should look up phantasm builds. I hear you don’t really need to shatter them to be dps viable.

I’m still working on the shatter + clones + dodging + skill triggering timing/micromanagement.

New to mesmers. Really enjoy the gameplay, but feel SUPER squishy (cause I suck – I know… I’m working on it).

Can someone suggest a good survivability mesmer build in the June 23rd world??

Thanks!!

Do we know if anything’s coming? Would be cool to have some uniqueness to how our pets look.
