So that is $400,000 that they could have used to fix other poo poo. I've got bad news for Anet but the esports ship has already sailed and it doesn't have GW2 on board.

guild wars 2 is already recognized by the prestigious ESL organization like fuckin forever ago. the esports ship has been sailing with gw2 on board for a while now

I spectated some spvp games today, and following a Mesmer around didn't really convince me to try it out. It was also funny seeeing people repeatedly jump to their deaths on Skyhammer, eventually I asked and it was because of dailies. Maybe one day, uh.

i think you spectated a daily server which are one of the saddest things in the game

So i did my first sPVP match and realized that i sucked, trying to follow my team around and do stuff but man was getting destroyed.

so playing a warrior, changed my amulet to an amulet of ice, changed my signet to one with power/precision/toughness.

Using a sword main hand and axe off hand.

Pretty much was Pushing 2 for -50% movement, 4 for double attack and spins.

Changed my specializations to be strength/arms/discipline

Stomp/Charge/Toughness signet.


Anyone wanna give me some pointers for warrior pvp? felt like i was getting destroyed.

if you're in SFD, bug Lazy he is usually on the mumble a lot and he can do tutorin

I have no idea how newbie friendly the set up is but here's the yolo build I used to wrap up the title:

Spvp is poo poo because there is only one boring as gently caress garbage game mode that gets played. gently caress conquest. I'd spvp if there was any variety at all.

Playing on Scrapper, what am I supposed to do about a Dragonhunter's death stack of traps? Like, trying to dodgeroll through it has netted me nothing but death and pain, and trying to block through it has had similar results. Like I tried to put up Hammer 4 and set them off and Dragon's Maw stuns me out of my block then crits me for 5k, then Precession crits me for another 10k. If I try to roll in and out I just get knocked over and die horrifically similarly.

Similarly, how does a DH not using the full heal signet consistently heal for 80-90% of their HP? I would jump this dude and blow him up for the vast majority of his HP then he would instantly be back to full health, spam all his traps, and I'd be dead.

E: I think the answer is deploy Bulwark Gyro just before rolling through, hopefully that finally helps because they've been giving me headaches

Don't dodge into the traps, use hammer 4 after triggering the traps, stay in place if you got hit with maw so you don't knock yourself out of block, avoid triggering the traps and just poke until you can set up a good burst, between your sustain and stealth gyro you should have full control over the tempo of the fight so just take it at your pace and keep calm

don't use bulwark gyro

For the 0 people who care, 238. I kinda stopped after the xpac came out.

i just picked up the free to play game and been messing around in spvp flailing as a staff elementalist. wondering if I should buy the game, I'm mostly just interested in spvp. are the goon guilds still active?

Power creep with the elite specs is real. Staff ele is going to fall off just due to the sheer damage output people have and the lack of mitigation you'll have to handle it. The game is active but the actual goon pvp centered players are few. As the guy who did play gw2 for the spvp, if you enjoy it go ahead it is going to more or less be what you've already played. I'm at 7554 spvp games played.
