EremiteAngel.9765 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 WvW is a varied game mode with lots of different encounters.Is there a most efficient way to utilize the templates to get the most out of them?How are you planning to use your template slots?

Knighthonor.4061 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I have my same WvW build which was saved to slot 3 by default. Nothing new there.But now I have a slot for my Healing build exclusively. My original WvW build was mostly group defense support and this one it group healing support. I have a third template for Condition Damage build for group fights. Main template is for Solo fighting but selfish build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justine.6351 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Thinking,RoamingZergingI encourage any person out there who zergs to make one a lamer spec to get back to the zerg if someone is harassing them and then once there they can swap back to zerg spec.So if you are still playing lolHammer Rev as renegade you can make one slot a carry me mara dura s/s 1v1 herald build for traveling to your zerg.Is there hot keys to load a full build set?

Its quite nice to go so fluently from roaming into zerg mode and vice versa.Especially when i roam, i often pass by ppl defending a tower or keep, were my roaming specc is completely different and not rly helpful i can now press 2 buttons and jump straight into the fight and help my group out.

hugeboss.5432 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Can only be done out of combat ofcourse, just like swapping out gear in your backpack.. just easier to manage. Its a nice feature imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alain.1659 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Depends on what you do in wvw. If you are roamer I can give a simple advice.-One slot for your standart roaming build.-One slot for siege destroying/tower defense.-One slot for annoying the enemy/contesting until help arrives.-One for singling out, bursting down important targets. As it is a kind of pay-to-gain-advantage, I have only 2 options. Yet mine is a jack-off-all-trades kinda build so can do it with only 2 equipment slots/6 build templates.

EremiteAngel.9765 Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 After trying, I've bought 1 more equipment slot.3 templates to 3 equipment slots.1 for Core, 1 For HOT spec, 1 For POF spec.I'm not sure if other classes enjoy the same variety as Necros (I think at least Guards do), but Core/HoT/POF specs on a Necro all have their own strengths/weaknesses and I would switch between them depending on the encounter.

But now 6 years later, I say to them, bring it on.Swap to whatever build that you feel hardcounters mine and I’ll fight you on it. I don’t mind the additional challenge since 6 years is a very long time to feel like you’ve achieved everything you want to in a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in the end nobody stops you from countering him aswell (even tho condi thief doesnt rly have a counter, except maybe walking into your tower and wait for him to get bored, but thats not fault of the template, but of the balancing team), and at this point it just becomes a mindgame.Will he swap to a build to counter you, will you swap your build aswell to counter his counter or will he anticipate your swap and just stays on his power build to destroy your anti condi specc.Overall it in my opinion it should give more ppl the confidence to fight back, because they can swap from a zerg build to a roaming spec when they see the roamer approaching. Making for more interesting fights than just a zergling getting farmed by a roamer.And more action overall, because of above stated reasons to quicker get into a zergbattle with a fitting build etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
