Survivability and Dancing in the Rim of Fire

http://youtu.be/W5O7I0Th58w

In my video you will see me do the basics in countering the enemy zerg and they are the following:

1. Double dodge to their back - this is the best way to avoid their push, and while here my team tries to kill the enemy backline.

2. Stability - either from personal skill or team stability from your guardian party friend, this allows you to get away from most stumbler skills, or those that stop you.

3. Immobilization - be careful of these because they must be condition cleansed.

4. Don't fear the numbers - because once you know what you're doing, you can kite the enemy easily.

No need for Credit

Doing the Work

I find players seeking glory to be detrimental in the wvw community.  These players will help only if you give credit to them; so if you do not, they will do their own thing.  But they are still a part of the community; so instead of not giving them credit, ideally, take time to give recognition to all the players who help.

The Extra Effort

You and I know that grinding a bit more secures success in real life as well as in games; so do not fear the work of your life which is giving a bit more than normal, and making sure to pay attention to this minute details.  Not doing so gives chance and probability to work against you.

No Fear

You shouldn't fear map or team chat that rises or lowers the morale of players.  When someone says something against your server or things you find that might rise your player's meter, simply type something that will reset it. i.e. spies in mumble, solution, yey, let them come; so we can farm and loot some more.

WVW is war.  Do your work.  Seek no reward.  Be the guy who gives effort.

Consider Lower Tier Servers

Because PVE wise all servers are linked, having a home server is purely for purposes of WVW only.  So, if you're looking for a good community simply check different servers out.  It will cost gems or gold on your part but it's worth it.

If you're looking to win, check the 2nd best server out there and join the fun and help them win the crown.

If you're looking for a good adventure and have guildmates willing to change with you, 5-10, then choose lower tiered servers, then you'll have much fun doing roaming/gvgs.  lower tiered servers have great skilled players worth checking out versus higher tiered servers w/c rely more on numbers and gold.

It will take time to determine where you'd like to be and it won't be cheap; so better prepare the cash. WVW gear.  And grinding for gold.

If you're a working person like me, then you can only play hardcore probably once or twice a week.  It's best to set your pace as such, and enjoy gw2 without being forced to play like you used to.

The best test of which server to be in is if such server you have a friend to play with.  Someone who seeks out to party you and play with you in game.  If your current server doesn't have this, then seek that friend.  Else, it's time to play elsewhere.

Solo mode? Go play rpgs and consoles.  MMO's is all about communities and chats and voips. :3

SOV CIEL BUILD UPDATE

SOV CIEL BUILD UPDATE

A simple build.  Team CC and pretty tanky. :3

I took out the infusions part since the build crafter is still problematic.

An Improvement on Gw2

Stuff I Think GW2 Team Needs to Fix

1. Party system.  You cannot kick an offline player in wvw.
2. Server lag.  The game still has such a huge game spike w/c makes builds changed to that which can tank and survive skill 1's and rely on regen.
3. Story mode not repeatable.  You can only repeat a story if you remake a character or make a new one.  Once finished, it's over.  Game lacks repeatability value unless you've got good friends to play with.

I do hope this year they can fix this. :3
