Man, I'm back to being totally stumped about what class to play!

I tried an Pistol/Elixir Engineer in sPVP which was ok, but not as support driven as I was hoping for, the elixers really dont add much to team play considering the irritation of using them (mesmers for example provide a similar amount of boons naturally).

I also tried a few Necro (condition based) builds which where way to squishy for my liking. I really wish I could find a nice life steal build.. I may try that tonight.

Has anyone had any good support experiences in PVP?


Well, my "experiences" in PvP consists mostly of reading about other's people thoughts on different classes and watching youtube videos from some more experienced players and/or guilds.

The best videos with commentaries about PvP tactics, skills usage, moving onto different places (why i actually did what you saw me doing) i saw from a guild called Team Paradigm. They have their own forum and couple of nice youtube videos decribing different tactics.

It's a good starting point at least.

I think i'm settling down with Guardian for starters. Water elementalist as support class looks tempting too.

Support Mace/Shield/Staff Guardian with Heal/tank/boom duration traits is the best stuff you had ever played. I supported 5 people at once, keeped them all up, and still was taking damage from 3 people, had a 7 win game streak yesterday, and then i had to go to work :c

Nice! My first character for the first beta test was Guardian. I like the sound of this. Smile

Can perosonaly vouche for

http://gw2skills.net/editor/en/?fUAQNApeblcgqCXHSHEm4ERWhVi9QjfcjXPSoEZIA

But few things were missing, so its 50-50 build.

Core is still there, Go for increased duration of your elite, as that is the one, that you can keep up whole group, and still manage to control your oponent.

Tested on sPvP, can be usefull in WvW or PvE tho.

Btw: If you have any questions regarding Builds stats weapon sets etc, feel free to contact me via PM, we can work something out Smile

Damn!
Still have that artifact lock-up thing going.. GPU temp isn't warmer than in any other game and stays around 50-60% usage..
Time to slow it down a bit..

edit: still no idea if that helped.. the frequency has gone down considerably, only seen 2 of em during these two hours so it's become hard to test conclusively. But seeing how its half past 3 now and I have to work tomorrow, I'll have to leave it at this. Not too worried about it anymore now, since I also found out I can alt-tab out of it if I'm fast enough.

Made some slight tweaks to this and it worked well, but I read one of the traits wrong and it doesn't spread the liftesteal to allies like I thought it would Sad! Big shame!

Guardians seem to be the best support class by an absolute mile which is irritating considering I want to play support but my friend already called guardian!

Hmm it didn't occur during Thursday's stress test. ArenaNet said something about having connection troubles that affected both GW1 and GW2. But that was mainly North America and I play in Europe.

And I think I will start with a Char warrior to kill some meat.

Edit: I r retard, there were several crashed steam overlay threads and 1 crashed dayZ thread active, eating up all CPU cycles. Just saw that this morning.

This was a major problem in BWE1 if you and your friends landed on different overflow servers. But you can port to them now if you right click their portrait and choose "join in". Smile

Damn, only an hour Sad! Hopefully it will get extended, but I doubt it.

Still totally lost as to what class to play. I've flicked back to Necro for now but they are horribly broken right now. Hopefully it will be fixed for launch!

Do savable specs exist in game?

Eh, the game seems to perform worse the closer it gets to release

BWEs were all good, last stress test constant crashes and disconnects, now I can't even login

I predict the usual disastrous MMO launch

We'll see. I don't see a reason why it should be a disastrous launch if BWEs were performing pretty well except for few hiccups 9especially WvW/PvP matchmaking). So far ArenaNet have been pretty great with their launches. Here's hoping GW2 will be another successful launch Smile

Interesting stress test. Textures, nay, entire environments popping in and out everywhere Laughing

But, no artifacts/crashes at all this time, even at full GPU speed, so I'm quite pleased.
