dont worry I will ^^
I'm also goin to bring my Mes/Mo first time around and see how it does is GvG combat.
Also check a lil later for my new idea for a team-build for gvg ;)
Peros- 07-15-2005
okay...while my Mes/Mo had promising results, are gvg did not. It brought are rank back to a 997th.
Well with only one gvg...it could not get any worse (except for the fact of guilds keep passin us up and makin are rank even lower :()
Now here is what happened, we used a team of 4 necros, 2 monks, 1 w/mo, 1 mes/mo (guess who that was :P)
It started off fine, the team facin against us was about equal in strength. I did pretty well with mass energy surge and arcane echo for a second shot. Don't know if it was just me, but I did waste a couple of there players ;)
First thing that went bad, all of us died. There team used a minion master for some mass army. This REALLy tipped the scales in there favor.
Second thing that went wrong, dark's comp froze up and we were now short one player.
Third thing that went wrong, Diana just was laggin big time and then are tank was of no use anymore.
Forth and final thing that went wrong, almost all died due to no control over flag stand and lost from 60% dp :(
Maybe if we had a lil more organized team, and possibly a few changes to the team-build, we might have done a lil better.
(Peros' Tip of the Day ^,^ :one thing I found was a huge kill towards minion master team builds, was a good ol' smiter. The minions are pretty stupid when it comes to runnin and they will just kill thereselves with aoe smites activated. So, its always handy to keep a smiter with ya :) Another weakness a minion master has is its minions. They will most likely use verata's sacrifice which gives the minoins health regen, but necro takes coniditions. So use lots of different conditions on the minions to hurt the master even more ;))

Mashekle- 07-16-2005
See what happens when you dont have my uber leetness? ;)
Silverspear- 07-16-2005
lol srry dark and peros
I dont know when the GvG was, so i dont know where i was... wierd...
anyway, i should be able to do gvg later on to help us win :D
besides, what warrior, monk, or even mesmer would expect a R/W to do so much damage? i thinks thats the reason they run past me.
anyway, my guy isnt THAT great when it comes to dealing direct damage, especially on warriors, i use my guy for a way around their armor. bleeding and poison makes a REALLY nice combo together, and that could really mess up the monk that keeps using mend ailment, cause they only get rid of the poison, which comes back on my next hit :P . it also helps to make it so no one can hit you (gladiators defences, shield stance, dodge, whirling defences, lightning reflexes (right now im using the first two because my tactics is 12)) and that helps a lot... untill you run out of stuff to dodge with, then you need to survive for the next uhh... about thirty seconds for the next dodging/blocking skill to cooldown.
Oh yea, dont forget RANGERS ARE A PAIN target them after monks and mesmers, poison arrow (or apply poison), hunters shot, distracting shot, savage shot, AND they can dodge really well, mesmers with illusionary weapon should have no problem getting around this, and any shutdown skills too, but ranger tend to run... (not me, unless i NEED too, like competition arenas, to rez and stuffs)
anyways, if theres GvG while im on, ill be glad to help :D
Peros- 07-16-2005
There better be, just yesterday when elite skill farmin :P I came across one skill and capped it. It then hit me, the next best build. It's nearly complete, but for now....it's a secert ;) So, I hope we will do some gvg today to test it out.
Zirka Maytnik- 07-16-2005
Last time we were in a GvG we won, maybe I can help out. Except that I have no idea when ther are guild wars anymore!
Silverspear- 07-16-2005
WOOT, TWO WINS!
well, they were practice, but that doesnt matter :D
Good Job all!
(but peros, dont worry too much about dying, you made an order, then canceled it, but they didnt see the "nvm" soo... yea)
Peros- 07-16-2005
its ok, it was only gvg of course. They will learn now to follow my orders (and cancelations, when made :P).
Here is the lowdown, we used a pretty strange build: 3 necros, 2 rangers, 1 ele, 1 hench healer, 1 fighter hench.
I was usin ele, zirka was usin ranger (regular version), silver was usin tankin R/W version; vortex, Johnum, and dark were usin there necros; and we picked up the two hench.
We did two unrated gvg's today, both were against the team Taken Souls. The first match was not with Zirka, instead a mage hench replace him. The game went alright. We got early flag stand and that gave us the win i think. There was small confusion with flag for dark, but once she got the hang of it, she was the best one i have seen yet ;) Also confusion with the theif, but not that big of deal. We also, did well with catapult power. With a confusion scene of not paying attention, are guild was wiped away when they rezed and we were attackin there lord. Only two were really paying attention to radar, but we still managed to come out ok. They tried to get flag spot but it didn't work, and they also tried to go a different route and ninja are lord but we came back just in time. We were able to beat them with 60% dp K.O.
Second match, zirka was in there. I issued a change in strategy and zirka brought greater conflageration. This way are mesmers could use mantra of flame and anyone who could, could get +armor against fire stuff. We started out pretty good. We came to a lucky flag position in the beginnin. There were a few deaths on our side but we recovered with flag. We drove them down to there base and waited outside for another kill. I kept dieing and rez'in at shrine that time and second around. So, there was a little confusion then. Third time, we stood by there shrine for the finish, but two slipped away. I first issued the command of chasing but then I realized we could just spike lord. No one but silver noticed the cancelation and was the only one to stay back. They then gained flag position and 1 hid out till the all rez'ed. We gained flag position again, and Taken Souls stood by there guild lord for final showdown. With a few witty comments (some unnecesarry) and then the last fight was under way. We were able to take down there healers and ele's quickly. And then...I got an err=7 :P But we won anyways it seems so we chipped away enough for my absence to not kill us all.
All in all, we gained a unrated gvg buddy, honed are gvg skills, dark loves the flag runner position now, I can lead a team a lil better, the greater conglageration + mantra of flam combo works, and my new build is a success ^^. Pretty nice if I do say so myself ;)
Mashekle- 07-17-2005
Im really proud of you guys. :) And I cant wait to join you all on monday!!!! :D

Unrated GvG
Guild: Masters of Sion
SPX's Build: We used 2 necros (Vortex and Dark), 1 Ele (me), 1 R/W (Silver), all 4 henchies
Battle: We started off already at a disadvantage with less player characters then MoS, but we were still able to come out strong.
The first confrontation for flag was a little hectic. They used about 3 warriors + hench warrior for a serious beatdown. But with the help of some useful tankin by silver, we were able to keep them at bay for a while. We took early flag position, but it was robbed by there tanking flagger. We were able to put a dent in them but lost in the first confrontation. But, with a early burst of speed, we got flag back.
The next few fights were near same except, we had total control of flag stand this time. We started pushing them back little by little. We even got them to base and got a hold of the catapult. They started to act defensive and use the guild lord's henchmen for extra fire power. We lost but again, put a huge enough dent in there team to not come out a total loss.
They used a different route to our base. I saw and tried to fight off. But our team was not fully there. The most I could do was delay. I rezzed and order a full retreat. I then ordered for a small advance just enough to guard flag and base. The flag was helping us a lot and if we lost it, it would become an even fight. The fight didn't last long with there higher dp. We were able to hit them hard, but they came again, this time with flag and in the stand. Though they tried to block, we were able to kill easily and regain the flag stand.
We marched in there base, hoping to kill them with dp. The confrontation was some what hard because of the arcanist. Though with a few good rezs from our healer hench, we were able to kill all of them. They rezed a second time but with less people the normal. I ordered a dp kill, but then realized someone ran off, and took flag. I reordered and guild lord kill the lord. They rez'ed for the last time but it was no use, we killed all but 1 of the guild lords hench and was massively spikin and slashin him to death.
Outcome: Win for SPX
Silverspear- 07-18-2005
WHOA PEROS! :shock: im supprised you remembered i was in that fight!
lol
seriosly though, it looks to me like your enjoying writing all that stuff down
It looks really good, but is somewhat sketchy.. not too much, just only has one perspective in it.
GJ at writing AND leading our team :D
Mashekle- 07-19-2005
Wow.. Excellent post peros! :D I actually feel like I was there. :D
YOU ROCK!
Peros- 07-19-2005
one perpspective? well how the hell do i write your side of the story? And yes, I don't mind writing it, it's actually somewhat enjoyable. And one of these days....one of these days....I WILL make an archive of all the gvg we have done, with a full reports on all of them :P
Peros- 07-19-2005
i'm lazy and forgot the three unrated battles we just did. I will start to take pics to remember, and if hosting sites will start to like me again, i'll host 'em to lol :P
We fought against the Order of the Ancients, and one. Record for them of the day was 2-0
We then fought against the Stone Cutters Clan, who was a very good team. We lost and only battled once against them. I hope to fight them again, when we get a few more on ^^
