What is your perfect team comp?

I think about this often, and wonder what other people think. Assume a team of 20-30.

I was on my ranger and got placed with a pair of thieves and a pair of mesmers the other day in pvp. I was thrown off by the matchmaking until I found the other team had a similar comp. Not going to lie, despite all of the (completely justified) hate mirages get that was the funnest pvp match I've had in recent weeks. Certain other professions have the ability to bunker up waay too much and watching things (including myself) explode left and right was downright hilarious. Even the losing team had a blast. We won 504-406, but only because we got a tranquility cap almost uncontested.

That said, the "perfect" comp is probably some combination of necromancers, warriors and guardians. ... and maybe mesmers. You know. Standard protoss deathball stuff. Unless we're roaming, then I'll take a decent thief or mesmer on my team any day of the week.

you do realise that this thread is about wvw and not pvp? he posted in the wvw forum and said 20-30 ppl not 5man pvp

id say for each group 1-2guards, a power rev, 1-2 scourges and a warrior/ele throw in 1 or 2 mesmer for the whole zerg to get some veil invis and graviwellsthats for a public zerg

guildzergs are a different story (15-20ppl)usually just 1 guard each group1 or 2 staff thiefes for stealth blasts and heavy burst dmg, maybe an engi for reveal and focus or heal purposes

for 20: 4x G, 2x W, 1x R, 2x M, 2x E, 8x N, 1x TFor 30: 6x G, 3x W, 2x R, 3x M, 2x E, 12x N, 2x T

Baseline Meta wvw Comp.1 minstrel fb in each group.2-3 support Chronos for veils, gravity well, and pulls.3-4 bubble spell breakers, great sword/hammer.1-2 glass staff weavers fire/air.The rest of the dps power rev glint/dwarf and power scourge with wells.

15 condi revs and 5 condi mesmers with tons of aoe stealth. Or sub out the mesmers with spellbreakers.

30 full ascended fully infused trailblazer condi mirages. /so pro

That would be pretty good

Full demon summoning comp. 20% spellbreaker 20% Scrapper heals 20%, hybridbrand, 20% scourge aids, 20% rev, and to maximize efficiency put in more percents of other classes that exceed the total of 100% because that's how math works in WvW anyway.

Yes, I realize. Hence the second part of my post. Guardians, necromancers and warriors still win the day. Mesmers are also useful.

25 Mesmers and 5 Thieves.

We'll just follow the enemy zergs back line all day.

The guild where i am once in a while we do a 1 class event on WvW one time we spiked 30(or close to that) null fields plus other mesmer aoes out of stealth on a zerg that was 2x bigger, they died in 1-2 seconds, and some clients started to hip-cup to acompany the state of the current game....Plus 20ish portal entres on a zerg in and out of nowhere, funny way to troll.

This generally only works one or two times. We've done the same with vanilla engies and only using supply drops. The enemy and peoples machines melted. They couldnt do crap cause fps tanked lol. Of course once they learned the bomb they simply walked around.

30-40 p/p thieves and all of them using thieves guild skill.
