Chariot of Fire [FIRE] is a Christ-centered, family-friendly PvX fellowship that is located on the Northern Shiverpeaks server in Guild Wars 2. Originally created in 2007 in the first Guild Wars, the [FIRE] guild has a rich history within the Guild Wars community. Our members share a common goal: to enjoy the game in a God-honoring, family-friendly gaming environment. Our guild is based upon four major tenants that define us:
- GUILD FOCUS -
Christ-Centered
The very essence of our guild is a relationship with Jesus Christ. It is our goal to be a Christ-Centered community and we desire to honor God in all that we do. It is our belief that our faith is primary and our gaming is secondary, and we have a strong hope that others we interact with see Christ shining through us.
Family-Friendly
Our goal is for every member to play in a comfortable environment where they are in control of the conduct they absorb. By maintaining a family-friendly environment, our gaming fellowship is safe for gamers of all ages. We have established a Biblically-based Standards of Conduct that aids in maintaining our family-friendly environment.
Fellowship-Oriented
Fellowship is what drives us to play with each other. We are more than an in-game character, but a real person that lives on past the log-in screen. We encourage fully immersing into the social experience that comes with our fellowship, which includes in-game collaboration, website communication, and Teamspeak communication.
Community-Minded
Jesus met with people where they were at, and He built relationships with those people, regardless of stature. We are not an exclusive guild that wishes to hide away. We wish to build relationships with those in the community around us, and use our Godly example of Christ to positively influence them for Jesus. We regularly interact with others in our server community, and we hope to continue to be highly regarded as a friendly and helpful community.
- GUILD ACTIVITIES -
[FIRE] members engage in group activities in all areas of Guild Wars 2. Our guild has a active footprint in WvW and are steadily working to improve our effectiveness on the battlefield. In addition to WvW, we have a healthy level of casual weekly PvE activities that we engage in. Our desire is to have a healthy balance between WvW raiding and PvE activities. We will accept new members from ANY server, but those that wish to participate in our growing WvW sector will need to be on Northern Shiverpeaks or be willing to transfer to NSP from their current server.
World Versus World:
Weekly Coordinated Raids | Casual Havoc | Casual EOTM (leveling)
Player Versus Environment:

Best decision our guild have made was to transfer to NSP last October. Even through the painful imbalanced T2/3 matchups for 4 months, there was not a moment that we regretted coming over. There is not a more stable, community-oriented server out there!
For Guardian, these looks like they could be fun and interesting.
However, if you’re going to let Guardian apply Quickness to the party, then I hope you are upping Mesmers’ ability to do reliable damage in PvE. Otherwise you could possibly be edging Mesmers completely out of the speedrun meta. Guardians already do more damage more reliably and have higher uptime on their reflects … not to mention heavy armor and no worries about AOE/cleave killing their phantasms (back to the reliable aspect of damage).
This. But honestly, I think these changes sound awesome. On paper, Tome of Courage sounds great for WvW applications, but it is severely cumbersome and often not even bothered with now. Renewed Focus is the only seriously viable elite for WvW, being that it recharges virtues, hence another Stability usage.
If there were other skills that took the place of Tomes that were actually useful, Guardians may see more build diversity on the battlefield. However, as Sebrent mentioned, be mindful how these changes affect all applications of the skills I’m all game types. Balancing would need to occur on a broader scale.
I have definitely done this tactic as a commander many times. It works well, but only against goofballs. Good players can tab through the food fast enough and hit the Tactic still.
The funny part is, I use Feasts of Clam Cakes. So all those guys hitting F near the tactics now replaced their good food with 10% magic find. :-D
Very glad to see another Christian community out there. You guys have my support!
Your server can pull together. Everyone said SoR was nothing, but I think it is safe to say that we are steadily improving, rebuilding, and growing. Recruited a couple guilds, but we actually lost more numbers than we gained in the past 6 months or so of our reorganizing. We did a LOT of building up from within our ranks, through PvE/PvX guilds, new player training, and more. I believe FC can overcome their struggles. The answer is not necessarily an HoD/DR-esque bandwagon. Bolster your interior first. Supplement what you have SLOWLY with newer guilds speckling into the community. If your community is strong enough on its own, a new guild here and there will become fine additions. If it is weak, then no one will want to come, unless it is a huge bandwagon for gold.
Many commanders, self included, have a specific composition in mind that has optimal spreading of boons and other buffs on a per-subsquad basis. Many of these skills/boons/buffs are coordinated, and called for on a specific basis. For example, Guardian 1 is there to provide the first stabilty and purge, while guardian 2 provides the 2nd stab and 2nd purge. That stability prioritizes those in the subsquad. Those that are trying to be a full part of the team, coordinating to their fullest on the common method of voice communications. There are many other buffs from various classes, such as auras, spotter, etc, which many of prioritize subsquad first.
I cannot see how you can be upset that the commander wants his organized team to take precedence for the buffs they coordinated together. Or that he places together based upon voice callouts on TS. You don’t want to be part of the team, whether you cant be due to whatever reason or you refuse to be, then do not expect to be held at equal level as everyone else in the squad.
I run in WvW without TS all the time. I have no expectations of being placed in an organized subsquad, but I am pleased when I am. But, I am not upset when I am not because I am not running the way they are. I am just joining them in-game and I get what I get.
I am sure there are some of us on NSP that would get together and farm with you, too!
NOTE: I focused on describing where we are at in WvW. Trust me, our PvE is quite healthy. Plenty of room to improve in sPVP, however, lol. But, we do own our own custom arena!
Also my wife says you and your husband sound a lot like us, lol. I swear, it felt like my wife wrote your above post…
I keep having SoR peeps telling me that I need to come back to SoR. While I think that some on SoR may miss me, I think there will be a lynch mob waiting at my arrival, lol. I have an alt currently on SoR, but I am hesitant to level it. SoR is doing well, and I hope that they rise to T4ish. I want to fight my buds over on SoR if they get faced against NSP. :-) Smitty/Jordyee/Hella, I would love to command against you!
I am a community representative on Sanctum of Rall and the Guild Leader of the Christian guild Chariot of Fire [FIRE] on SoR. While we may not be exactly what you are looking for in a guild, being a faith-based guild, I have strong connections with other guilds that I can recommend to you! Here is a list of guilds that I know of that I support and may welcome you with open arms!

Outside of roaming…or maybe a pick team / game squad, Rangers have no viable use in WvW because there are other classes that can outperform anything a Ranger can do. WvW is about efficiency and optimized team cohesion. Very few skilled guild groups will run a Ranger, and if so, for a very specific purpose after all other team composition requirements were met.I
One raiding guild in EU and one in OCX would make a world of difference. Pugmanders as well!
Really, the argument over which is better, a Revenant or a Warrior is a pointless argument. Both have very different roles. In the current meta, Warriors are straight up DPS. They bring strong self-resistance vs the condi meta, and pack a huge punch. Even better as a Berskerker.
Revenants do not do as much damage as a Warrior can, but their role (similarly to the guardian) allows for some decent damage + a lot of team buffs. If running Glint, the Herald can provide all swiftness, most might, and fury to the group. Guardians could essentially free up staff, because empowers and swiftness symbols are not needed, and can run GS/Hammer or Mace/Shield/Hammer. If they run Jalis, they give a nice damage reduction on pushes, and support with additional stability. If they run with Mallyx, then they give an awesome resistance skill, which is pretty much necessary in the current meta.
I think the type of gameplay makes all the difference. I command primarily, so I have spent thousands of hours on my Guardian, and recently switched to commanding on my rev. I have also played Warrior. Warriors hit like a truck, and they can move in deep and tank a lot of damage. But they are not the only member of their team. Rev’s build up the team and allow everyone else to be more effective, in addition to their own DPS. Hammer 2 is solid DPS. Hammer #5 is a nice knockdown. Staff #5 is a nice way to scatter the backline that do not have stability. Desired role means everything. I think they are both great.
Really loving the dynamic that NSP has on the battlefield. I have not seen such a wide selection of guilds willing to work together on the battlefield as I have experienced here. No egos, just teamwork. Now, we just need to bolster our OCX and our SEA time zones…and our late NA!
Chariot of Fire [FIRE] – NOW RECRUITING NEW WVW AND PVE MEMBERS!!!
Chariot of Fire [FIRE] is a Christ-centered, family-friendly PvX fellowship that is located on the Northern Shiverpeaks server in Guild Wars 2. Originally created in 2007 in the first Guild Wars, the [FIRE] guild has a rich history within the Guild Wars community. Our members share a common goal: to enjoy the game in a God-honoring, family-friendly gaming environment. Our guild is based upon four major tenants that define us:
CHRIST-CENTERED: Our first tenant is Christ-centered gameplay. We intend to honor God in all that we do, whether it be in word or in deed, instilling our faith as we play by being an example to all of Jesus Christ.
FAMILY-FRIENDLY: Our second tenant is a family-friendly gaming environment. We want every person to play in a comfortable environment where they are free of excessive cursing, sexual conversation, trolling, and excessive rudeness.
FELLOWSHIP-ORIENTED: Our third tenant is fellowship. Our focus is to build up each other. We want members that that want to be part of a community that lives past the login screen of the games we play.
COMMUNITY-MINDED: Our fourth tenant is to be community-minded. We want to engage in activities with others on our server, as well as work together as a team with the others on our server, building community and cohesion on the battlefield.
Chariot of Fire [FIRE] is a WvW-centric PvX guild. What does this mean? It means we are not a WvW guild, so we are not considered hardcore and elite. However, we do more WvW than any other single activity within our guild, far more than a casual basis. We have multiple regular scheduled WvW raids, occasional WvW training nights, and many impromptu WvW havoc and pug support WvW activities as well. We regularly train those from within our guild that are PvE players or new-to-WvW so that they can enjoy WvW in a fun, coordinated, family-friendly manner. When not raiding on the battlefield, most of our members still engage in map completion, dungeons and fractals, living story, seasonal content, and many other PvE activities.
We will accept new members from ANY server, but those that wish to participate in our growing WvW sector will need to be on Northern Shiverpeaks or be willing to transfer to NSP from their current server. We are looking specifically for those that wish to participate in a community. We do not need the most skilled WvW players or those with the highest Fractal level. We want players willing to communicate, fellowship, and play together. We prefer players that are balanced in their game activities. 100% rep is not required, but primarily repping us is preferred.

Thriving community, fun WvW matchups, definitely can be bolstered by some additional late and off hours guilds to balance out the tier. I would definitely consider NSP. We thrive on being a STABLE server in the middle of other servers yo-yo-ing up and down around us with all their mass transfers and fight-guild stacking. We have a healthy level of growth, and a VERY DEDICATED server core that has cemented the stability of this server for a very long time! And, for those that like to pugmand…you can definitely find people to follow on NSP! Especially if you will lead on TS! Check us out!
Mag is such a nice server. They loaned off all their skill to other servers for a short period of time. So nice to see how considerate they are.
Also, DB is imploding but not all guilds that intend to transfer off have done so…yet. At least according to my buds on DB…
Got an old friend in VII (Kead); love poking at him when we battle. As a resident of and a commander on NSP, I will say that I love fighting VII. They are highly skilled and persistent, whatever the cost. One thing that stood out in a fight I had with them was that no matter how many of them there are left, they will battle until the last member of VII is dead. I remember our group of 30+ fighting them in garrison one time, and the last remaining 4-5 stacked up, empowered, and just dove into our group. Sure, they died, but I admire their heart and dedication!
Good guild here. Much respect from me, and I am sure many others on NSP feel the same way.
