whats your play-style

mine is, flyin high like a kite, i love dodging and rolling around and kiting enemies till they are on their cds then i hit them hard.

my friend tho is a building, he just likes to tank all of the damage.

guess i am asking to see what other play styles people like.

Heh. Who doesn't like dogging these days?

some people like to stand on hills and spam aoes, hard to get out of that when in a tunnel lol

I prefer Speed and Precision/Timing to Strength or Sustain. So I build around that.

I was... well how should I put this? There's a bit of a difference between "dogging" and "dodging" is all. :D

auto correct is one thing that will always counter me

I like to kite/ confuse and manipulate my enemies senses to get the upper hand in combat. Plus elegant fashion is a plus for my mage playstyle. Can you guess what I main? Haha.

Ding ding! You got it right! Although Iam a bit surprised you figured that out due to me expressing my love for elegant fashion haha. I expected the “confuse and manipulate” to be the first give away lol.

confuse and manipulate can also mean thief, lots of shadow stepping and blinking abilities, i managed to juke out a warrior on my thief...i never hit him but he didn't know i was following him for the lulz

The only style I've ever seen be successful in GW2 is to pile in and drop people with massive burst damage. Nothing else works, and only a handful of classes can even attempt to run away/regroup.

so zerg smash

Always a fan of balanced builds. Good cleanse, good stunbreaking, nice dmg and capable of taking some hits.I amde a tanky holo, a support condi soulbeast, a perma crit and block guard in one and so on.I am also very fond if hybrid gameplay and i think it would be nice if anet would go more into these tereitories. A good example is the abyssal chill trait of rev together with swords.

I'm usually drawn to support type roles. I don't need to get the big numbers myself but facilitating someone else's kills is very satisfying. I tend to favour ranged play so I can keep an easier tab on the flow of a battle, diving in to get a res off or apply extra pressure where needed.

I don't particularly have one when it comes to PVE. I just do whatever. I alternate builds and characters on a daily basis, and with at least 2 builds on 7 characters I'm playing one of 14 different builds. I guess you could say I prefer simplicity and self-reliance, but all classes have that in GW2.

In PVP/WvW, I imagine that I am insufferable. I'm highly individualistic and tend to run after targets in a spastic ADD driven bloodlust. I don't really cooperate, but since I don't do competitive I've never really had a need to.

I tend to prefer weapons/skills that reward positioning. This isn't to say I'm good at positioning, but that I find positioning to be a rewarding mechanic. I also prefer to be reactive rather than rotation-based.Back when I played pvp or in other games, I tend to prioritize disabling/controlling over damage. I'm fine with trading my life for making you take a time-out. It's a side of myself I'm not completely comfortable with.

I favor defensive/healing magic alongside range or tanking as situation warrants it. Played a druid for the healing and support aspect but also really like my dragonhunter. I hate to rush into a fight but would rather endure it. Even in WoW I was more concerned about keeping everyone's hp up so no one died, how long the fight took was secondary long as everything was under control. So I guess my playstyle is support.

Ambush and SnipeSo mesmer. But more in a team setting

Sounds like warrior is a good fit

When i first read this i thought you meant hacker lol

Honestly it depends on the day lol. I like the traditional close combat Warrior play style. My first & main character is a Warrior, but sometimes I like to play my Necromancer when I want to play farther range. I have a ranger character as well but its not as fun as the necromancer imo

I have always gravitated towards healing and support, so I have a Druid, Revenant, Tempest, and Scourge that I all use if I want to play that role, especially the Druid and Revenant. I have a Guardian too but I'm just not really that into their class fantasy so I usually keep him on the shelf.

If I am actually fighting, I like to be evasive with a fair mix of physicality and magic. I mained thief for a while, but I am not a big fan anymore. Now if I feel like killing, I will mostly play Soulbeast and Weaver.

sounds like deadeye to me :p

I know it sounds flippant but “mash the buttons and hope for the best” is my approach.
