Zerg-Busting + Havoc w/ Voice | [GoE]

Warning: Video contains German audio! This probably doesn't fall in the category "Roaming" anymore, but it's still nice to see what's possible in WvW with a solid setup and good communication.If you have any questions regarding anything feel free to leave a comment or write me ingame.

That was great what is the 5 man setup for your team? Spellbreaker, holo, firebrand and what else?

Don't worry it's still roaming when it's 1-24 people involved, it becomes a zerg fight when it's 25, then a blob when it's 26-50

Thanks! Our five man setup is

Firebrand for boons, condi cleanse, sustainSpellbreaker for its elite tbh, but it also has some nice CC and DPSBoonshare Mesmer for boons, portal plays and utilityAnd any 2 DPS classes, mostly Holo, Reaper or Rev.Scourge is another super strong option, but we try to run a non-condi setup since condis promote a boring, passive playstyle, so we try to run a full power comp, even though it’s a bit weaker probably.

and here i thought running supporters in roaming is boring passive playstyle, because you will need a bigger opposing team or ones that run supporters aswell yet pug groups usually wont have supporters cause well who goes roaming on a supporter..like this you will be able to just rez through any more or less even numbered fights against pugs. carried by downstate.

I think every roamer would agree with that statement that bringing supports means you need to change your fight targets. If a guild is bringing 2 supports in a group of 4-5 and only choosing to fight against 5-7 pugs then it's really lame since it won't (shouldn't) be a challenge. However if you ignore those fights and aim to mainly hit guild groups of 10+ (ie typical bad zerg guilds that will have support) or take on 14+ pugs then it gets interesting again.

Just taking a support or taking condi or playing cheese builds doesn't inherently make a video bad or boring. It really comes down to what you're doing with your group.

I'd disagree with the idea that power comps are weaker for groups 5-10 nowadays anyways, but maybe the meta is different enough on EU.

Maybe you should view the actual video first, it‘s not like we‘re fighting 5 Pug Rangers, why would you need a setup for that. Any half decent group runs Firebrands nowadays, if you have a 5v5 against equally skilled opponents and they run support classes and you don‘t, you lose, easy as that.We aim to fight bigger and organised groups with proper builds where positioning etc. matters, and not chasing some camp flippers. I agree it‘s passive and boring to duo or triple roam with supportes, but that‘s not what we are doing here or with a 5 person setup.

This is a very true statement and pretty much explains what I was trying to say, thanks for that!

What about your 10 man, is the preferred setup different or just more dps?

@Tehologist.5841 said:What about your 10 man, is the preferred setup different or just more dps?

Well 10 man is basically just 2 5-man groups so 2xFirebrands, 2 Warriors (at least 1, but having another elite is pretty nice), at least 1 Mesmer still for portals and gravity well and stuff, and 4-5 DPS classes of your choosing e.g.: Holo, Rev, Reaper, Scourge, we even have a staff weaver sometimes.But you need at least one Firebrand for every 5 people, since the boons and healing only affect 5 people at the same time.

good video =) sounds like you gus were having a lot of fun.

good video i guess. Some of the fights looked pretty even in numbers. I see yall run 9-11 players in squad. But honestly some of those classes could 1v3 even 1v4 some of those bad pugs yall crashed into.

The majority of the fights were 5 man. A good commander on discord makes so much of a difference, have been able to wipe much larger groups. Though having enough firebrands also seems to be a deciding factor.
