Temper.2190 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Hi folks, I haven't played pvp for about a year, but decided I was to jump back in this summer. I'm pretty clueless on correct balance, and an considering one of the following specs for the 2v2 season. For context, I was a gold 3 solo queue player who played mostly renegade, d/p daredevil, and spellbreaker duelist. 1. Condi specter. I've played this a ton in pve lately, and would be interested in seeing the pvp version, where sheriff's use is a bit more tactical. 2. Any rev spec, but I'm really curious if vindicator is ok in 2v2s. I like all flavors of rev a lot. 3. Warrior. Is spellcaster decent after the dagger buffs? Or is the bladesworn sidenoder build ok in 2v2s? Any suggestions on the relative strengths of these would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar.3568 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Bladesworn is pretty good, healbreaker With Hammer/dagger shield and normal greatsword strength spellbreaker are good in some Szenarios. (Heal breaker If you need a Lot of cc's) Vindi is als Strong in 2vs2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Specters still use kitten/Trickery/Specter with a condi oriented amulet, but that could have changed since I last checked. Quote 2. Any rev spec, but I'm really curious if vindicator is ok in 2v2s. I like all flavors of rev a lot. Vindi's good for 2v2s. Bunker Vindi can hold its own, and if you feel spicy power vindi also works. Quote 3. Warrior. Is spellcaster decent after the dagger buffs? Or is the bladesworn sidenoder build ok in 2v2s? Any suggestions on the relative strengths of these would be appreciated. Spellbreaker was decent before, the dagger buffs give it an edge it needed though. It's suitable for 2v2, but you may want to make sure your partner can help you deal with condis. Bladesworn is also suitable for 2v2, but keep in mind the sidenoder build is meant to sustain itself. People can counterplay you by bombing your friend.

Downstate.4697 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Most supports and most dps is viable. I wouldnt recommend condi unless your team mate is also running condi. For example, a condi spectre with a condi harb would prob be viable, though if the enemy team is running a healbreaker id scratch going condi entirely. If you really want to advance in solo I recommend multiclassing or switching over to a power build as needed. You should become familiar with which match ups would justify the build you are running. This is also true in conquest and usually seperates the gold players from the plat players 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rider.6024 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 2's are more about build synergy and timing bursts/invis together but harb/specter 2 bladesworn tempest/willbender seem to do better than most from the little ive seen harb/specter can just tank through almost anything, and their cc chains can be over 10s long quite easily 2 bladesworn get so much healing/might from traits that they can really save their shake it offs and wittle down enemy to practically 0 cds left before they begin unblockable bursts, they do best utilizing 1 with fgs and 1 with the mark target to combat invis spam tempest can support any build but tempest/willie can fit in burning quite easily without any duration or condi dmge and still get close to 20k stacks of burning with hella might that ticks for 4-6k bursts on top of willies insane power bursts, really hard to lock one down and willie with alac or auras is such a pain to go up against really there are a ton of combos available, but the above are easy to preform well with if you coordinate just a bit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysico.4906 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Only gold level. But I am having really good luck with my power rifle scrapper and then duo up with hammer catalyst or core guardian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greedywholesome.9081 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I play lots of strange builds. One is the Mesmer's MOA, with the right timing and assault, it's pretty good at eliminating. The opponents may get annoyed/irritated at you so just simply remind them it's all for fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zengara.8301 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) Basically what Frowny wrote. Dps or support. Only play condi or roaming build if the other player is doing so too. Otherwise, if the other player is dps, they insta die meanwhile you hitting like a pillow on enemies=no presure, which means enemies can just autowalk together to the dps for 30 seconds until dps dead then you. And if they are support....the round will take a loooong time, if you do not lose from the enemy spikes Edited July 7, 2022 by zengara.8301 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stand The Wall.6987 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 classes which are hybrid dps and support are the best for small team imo. classes like vindi, specter, bladesworn, tempest, druid, scrapper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
