The GW2 WvW crew is currently looking to put together a very organized "perfect havoc squad" that works together throughout the fight rather than derp around like noobs. Since we are looking for group synergy, we will be asking that you only run the specific class and build we have agreed on (up for discussion). If you need help with gear, post here and we can try to help. If you would like to join in the fun, I ask you comment with what classes you have equipped with the build, which ones you would like to equip, and what classes you have available if needed. Include level, race, and missing gear. We can put together an official roster list later. What we are looking for: 2 Thieves 1 Engineer 1 Mesmer 1 Necromancer 2 Warriors Required Builds And Duties: 1 Backstab DPS Thief - (Dagger/Dagger - Dagger/Pistol) - Main single-target ganker, stomper, and medic. Responsible for Shadow Refuge and dropping Black Powder for stealth of whole team while roaming and hiding. Gameplay D/D Video Gameplay D/P Video 1 Condition Venom Share Thief (Pistol/Dagger - Short Bow) - Be annoying by stacking bleeds and share immobilizations, conditions, and life siphon heals with entire team by using venoms. Responsible for using bow to Choking Gas the downed and blast other thief's Black Powder with Cluster Bomb to keep team in stealth. Gameplay Video 1 Static Discharge Power Engineer (Rifle) - Be annoying and distracting by dropping turrets and immobilizing/stunning the enemy. Primarily using tool kit for its trait static discharge effect, gank fleeing survivors with rifle. Drop healing turrets and blast heal team, as well as AOE stealth-ing the team. Gameplay Video 1 Shatter Power Mesmer (Greatsword - Sword/Torch) - Be annoying by using clones and invisibility to confuse enemy, shatter as much as possible for best DPS. Mass invisibility team when in need of stealth. Clear conditions for team with Mantra of Resolve. Sneak in towers and swap utilities to stay in stealth and portal in outsiders. Gameplay Video 1 Chill Condition Necromancer (Staff - Scepter/Dagger) - Be annoying by constantly chilling and blinding the enemy the entire fight so they can't escape and can be easily single-targeted. Support only role, with good bleed stacking on scepter/dagger to help out the bleed thief. Gameplay Video 2 DPS Warriors (Hammer - Greatsword) - The main tanks and AOE DPS of the group trying to pull all the damage off of team by constantly using hammer stuns and CC's and then switching to greatsword to do insane DPS. Gameplay Video updated 6/28/15 Open to all comments and suggestions. We also have a thing started where we have an entire roaming party all Asuran named "Steve _____" and are identical twins, which is pretty amazing. (post your STEVE). So if you have an Asura that fits the composition or are willing to re-roll and level with us we will love you even more!
No Steves yet, waiting to see a screenshot and what classes we are missing... I have ready: Thief, Lvl 80, Human, fully geared for the backstab dps build. Can also spec for the condi venom share build but would rather play our backstab thief. I have available: Necro, Lvl 80, Sylvari, no gear at all (currently full zerk). Warrior, Lvl 80, Norn, full-geared minus armor/runes (currently zerk + scholar) and ascended necklace and 1 ascended accessory (currently full zerk). Mesmer, Lvl 21, Human, no gear at all (condition spec). I want: Engineer - which I don't have atm.
Have Norn Necro: Can respec for Chill Have Sylvari Mes: Can respec for power shatterer (pretty much have this done) Have unleveled Asuran Thief - no clue how to use it Would Build Norn or Asuran Engi Don't do Warrior or Guard [SoT] Steve Bahgsan:
Yes we were going to revive the Steves! Possibly form a new roaming guild called "The Sisterhood" lol
I figured you'd wanna run your Engi. Watch the video, the build is pretty hilarious. I don't know much about engi though so maybe you have something that would work better?
Eh, probably not. The meta that everyone seems to agree on for Engi seems to be some variation of Zerker with Rifle and Toolkit. I would have to come up with something so radically different to be powerful
Yeah because thats a very strong build, especially traited with static discharge. The only other viable option I've seen is condi (primarily the ridiculously expensive confusion), but we have plenty of condi already. We need more burst dps.
I wanna know what everyones current Steve's are. I would rather make an engi or re-roll my lvl 21 mesmer. I don't really want to re-roll 80's or make duplicate classes. The Steves and the roaming party don't necessarily have to be the same thing. Edit Sandy just informed me that all the Steves in the Sisterhood are Mesmers. So everyone make a Steve Mesmer just for fun, and then try to fill the roaming slot with whatever you'd like.
Updated warrior build to the latest version of Shin's HAMtastic Build post specialization patch. All other builds are out of date, any input on skill and meta changes and new build proposals would be great. I'd recommend using http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=-3I for sharing builds, as most other build sites aren't updated to specializations yet.
Looks good, give it a try and let me know how it works. Might wanna try switching out Incendiary Powder for Modified Ammunition.
Ive come across a new build we need to test. I think it would be much more useful to small group play, yet less useful 1v1. It's a boon share build that gives "permanent protection, regen, fury, 6+ might and vigor and a lot of access to retaliation, aegis and swiftness You can then share these boons with your signet of inspiration or when you cast a phantasm!" I haven't hit 80 yet on my mesmer so I can't really test it at the moment. Might play around with it in pvp, although it wont very effective there.
