Maybe some new blood are just that. New to wvw and don't know how to play yet.

I mean I would recommend start with core guard on shout runes with staff gs. Learn to play the game with the pugs and coms or groups then learn to fb.

Core guard is pretty good starting class

If you've gone to ore, you can trade on melandrus temple for Pvt melandru gear.

For warriors core war is a good place to start the shout warn and then transition to shout breaker.

Dd base ele to dh tempest or dd Weaver.

There are somethings you shouldn't by pass. Even the necro. Play the core Wells then go to scourge or reaper.

Reminds me I should do that stack roll again and bomb as one every raid. Make it mechanical.

Also most players look at the enemy instead of the floor. Floor watching us more critical so you avoid bombs.

Also keep an eye on your boon condi bar on top or right of your utilities. You can use basic skills to counter them.

Tldr.

We assume ppl know how play but they normally do not. Even if they are vets. Coordination is learned.

Sword warhorn staff druid. Always wondered how it works. Or axe warhorn staff. Or staff gs

It is more likely to cause people to blob in order to herd protect.

In the least , for purposes of being revived faster.

There's always the 2 vs 1 blob style. Where one team Bates the blob and the other goes for the backline.

Very efficient.

:/ well, rip them boons with your spell breaker and necro and burn guard and condi rev, then boom. Dead in 3 seconds.

Coordinate your bombs. Things didn't change that much.

Also minstrel ppl can't hurt you even in mass if you've got a team synergy.

Hell even Pvt does 7 to 8k if it's Pvt zerker on hoelbrak with energy and force. Add power food and bloodlust . Then you got og damage

Hell people die from acs now and my team loves to bail and mount and pounce. Also you got your dragon barney

I would check every hour, Late nights, Super early morning, a week, a month, 2 month or more still never move down from full to just very high. Like When does it even open up for us to come in????

It only opens when bg becomes last in t4.

Hehe

I used to have a vid where the cats fired sideways let me find it

How

Everyone wants to fit in with their own specialty. Explain how you can be an asset and any rational com will welcome you.

It was.

Do eotm to increase rank once a week. That map needs love

So good

Mmm so ever tried a group of nomads?> @"Taobella.6597" said:

> nomad was a meta when boon sharing mesmer was around

:astonished: Man I'd like to see vids of people running pure nomads.

Not minstrels. Hehe

It is probably going to be rare. So ok go full minstrel group also. Want to see if there's a vid in existence.

Seeing the queues, I can believe it. Makes me giddy sometimes. I hope they use my builds. >∆< and kill

> Everything you have listed is what I used to love in this game mode. The problem I ran into, eventually, over the years, is what might be described as a sense of worthlessness. I feel like just another number with no real value to the game. When people/friends appreciate my efforts is one thing. Yet, I don't feel that from GW2. When I am in WvW I don't feel like I'm truly achieving anything worthwhile in-game. Let me describe it in another sense . . .

>

> - I/we could maybe go play a game of hide and go seek, let's say. We might both have fun for some time perhaps . . . But that doesn't lead anywhere further. Then I/we naturally would get bored and just stop playing for a while.

> - This is my issue with WvW. Yet, I still enjoy what you've listed; honestly, I think it's great you still feel that way.

>

> However, let me dig deeper into the issue. For me, I could, and I would have fun with friends in other games too. I still chat with friends from GW2 these days, but elsewhere (like Discord or another platform). These two situations I happen not to need WvW (or Gw2) for; this has been going on for years now personally. So what do we got left? "Trying different builds against others" and "Coming up with weird ways to win in fights." I used to love these things very much, so I can relate. The problem I have is that the fights feel like they do not matter. I believe why I have this "worthless" feeling in WvW.

>

> For me, I need a real sense of progression via competition. WvW carries this sort of "for kitten and giggles" way about it; not exactly "competitive." This general carelessness ultimately conflicts with my desire for real competition. I was hoping Alliances (if they ever come) would create this real sense of honest competition. Yet, because fights, win or lose, don't matter ultimately, I lost my incentive to play. I hope that makes sense, and I respect where you're coming from @"Sovereign.1093".

It does not matter is indeed the issue. The question therefore is how to make it matter. And that's the Dev problem. What is the plan?

One thing I do like about it is the siege warfare, its more unique than what you get in pvp or pve. Its pretty fun to test out new weapons and different abilities that aren't often used in the other game modes.

Semi balanced wvw fights?

How is that different from wvw now?

We need to be able to get pve mounts in wvw. :3 I'd like my sky scale

We're not twitchy teenagers anymore, so we can't compete in the fights, Arenanet, in their wisdom, made the game about being responsive, knowledgeable and reactive. Normal people don't want to bother learning every skill on every class and most of us can't react even if we know what's coming. So it's pointless to try. That's why, if we see enemies, we run to the relative safety of our friends.

What? That's so prehistoric view
