Guild Wars 2 Video/Media

Yes, the first thing he is doing is a the heart stuff (tasks). But after that he gets caught up in dynamic events. It's quite a long video.

TB's videos on GW2 tend to have some misinformation in them. I don't think he has a lot of time to read up on the game. But you can tell he is loving it.

Undoubtedly, and they got smashed because of it. Though while the player was pretty good, I was more referring to the viability of warrior in PvP. Hammer warrior just wrecks shit.

I think what was cool in that vid is that he was totally new and got the idea of setting up range and close combat sets. Pick your pain! if you run ima shoot you if you close ima smash you! lol. Warrior is crazy in pvp for sure, but yea watching the thf try to melee the warrior head to head was dumb, thf has so much maneuverability skills, shadow-steps and cloaking.

Unfortunately for guardians their ranged options aren't that 'ranged' if that makes sense. I like the sword/torch + GS setup there's lots of options to pull your target to you or jump to it to get back into range to beat shit up. Can't wait to try it first hand in PvP and see how it plays out.

scepter is pretty ranged, doesn't do great dmg but its ranged and kinda slow lol also allows u you hold people in place.

Scepter is decent and I do like the CC but staff imo needs a little help, or maybe I just haven't found the situation I'd like it in yet.

I actually felt like staff had a longer reach with wave than scepter did by eyeballing it. I actually really enjoyed staff but its more of a support weapon with the ability to dish out some AOE damage on the side.

**Zzsark** · 2012-03-26 23:36

Yeah I guess that's the situation I haven't found yet where I'd want to be pretty much solely supportive (not that you can't swap out). Skill 1 range is far too short for a staff though it tries to make up for this by being frontal AoE.... dmg is weak though.

Figured there would be more videos released then this by now.

I think that greatsword, sword, hammer, torch were more offensive/support, some better for large crowds and some for single target, while staff,mace,focus,scepter was much more defensive/support in terms of utility. GS SW H T were more suited to getting into the mix or keeping enemies focused on you while STF M F SPT SH were more about keeping the enemy at bay and controlling its movement, of course all doing damage and buffing players, which I love about this game.

that warrior didnt use any autoattack with the hammer. wonder why

**Zerocool** · 2012-03-27 10:28

Not sure, but I can see a lot of the more hardcore PvPers or maybe just most people in general keeping the auto attack turned off to have more control over your character. There are times you may want to stop attacking like if somebody puts up a reflect effect or something and from what I've heard it's not that easy to stop the auto attack from going off. I have no idea if that's why he did it, maybe he just didn't know.
