PvP Trip Report: Scrapper is still fun as hell, and using Toss Elixir X on Reapers in Shroud is one of GW2 PvP's greatest joys


E: Oh god I had some jackass Necro standing on the ledges on mid on Niflhel shooting at us, hit 10%, go into Shroud, and keep trying to poke at us. He got a faceful of Elixir X and a bad time

Best way to deal with it that I've seen, from the perspective of someone doing the Moaing, is to use Shroud while you've still got lots of HP. Being forced out of Shroud for isn't as big of a deal if you're not popping Shroud at 10-20% HP like most Reapers.

Meatoberfest is in full swing.
Being in Shroud also makes you take 50% less power damage (balanced by a lower life force total than your health pool, and most of your condition removal being outside of shroud) so you might want to jump in as soon as you're getting piled on. You'll also put out weakness from the Curses grandmaster.

Necros are a good focus target at the opening split in a match since they'll have very little life force built up, if any.

Yeah I always call target on Necros in the opening fight and dive for them, they've got like nothing good going for them if you blast them down first. Probably the only things I'd prioritize over Necro are like Killshot Warrior and, if someone lands a good CC on them, Thief.

Really the thing that's by far the hardest to deal with is a Reaper in shroud with 100% HP. I can't Moa you for a quick kill and blowing through your whole pool of Life Force is a huge pain in the rear end. Best option is usually something like "pop Bulwark Gyro and slug it out" which is far from ideal. It's still winnable because I pack a lot of anti-Condi, but it's definitely the most iffy fight I have against Necros, where a Necro without Life Force or a Necro who waits to 10-20% HP before Shrouding is an easy win.

That is a front line build and is fine if you don't suck with positioning and listen to your commander.

Running Staff Auramancer frontline seems really weird to me, which is why I thought it was some weird attempt at a hybrid :shrug:

D/F gives you more auras and more defensive tech for staying on the frontline, though it does mean giving up Meteors and big water

Oh I'm very aware that these are WvW builds, and my comment stands (as someone whose primary mode of play is WvW).

Staff Frontline actually rules, and is good enough for me to run commander tag with it, but not with the nonsense posted in that link.

Ele is hard to play because there's a lot of buttons and the game never tells you what any of them do. Oops, I need to heal.. what? I can't go into water attunement? I was just in it! Now I'm dead. That's bullshit, there was nothing I could do there!
