hihey.1075 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Hi all!I am a returning GW2 player from pre-HoT. I used to command a bit every now and then back at the time, and would like to take it up again. However, the game has evolved a lot and would like some starting tips :) For starting, which is the most suited build/class for leading/commanding? What are the things that must absolutely be known when commanding? I'm still left at the old "pirateship" meta, with Guardians in full Sentinel/Nomad with GS/Staff + "Worker" Warriors composing the Frontline, and Staff Eles + Well Necros as backliners; with the usual Mesmer for reflect or portal bomb.Any input is appreciated, thanks!

Dawdler.8521 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Its still guardians except now they're even more bunker with minstrels and even better at it as firebrands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a problem with Druid because nobody wanted rangers anyway but now is a problem. And all that while FB at least is able to do some tagging.

hihey.1075 Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 Thanks for the input!So Guardian (Firebrand) is still the way to go it seems. Is this build the "meta" one: https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Firebrand_-_Support_Firebrand?Also, any recommendation as to what to call/avoid (again, I am left to the "Stab" "Water" "Bomb") :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gloflop.3510 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 The build looks correct.I would recommend to follow a commander a bit first. Your commands still sound correct but they became a bit more sophisticated these days (small stab, big stab,...). Easiest as I said if you follow a commander and you will soon hear the commands.

Hey bud! Welcome back. I don’t know which server you are on but you are more than welcome to hop on my guild’s discord server and we can chat. I came back to the game ~2 months ago (quit during hammer train meta). As a pin, there are couple of options your choice depends on the group you are running with, your comfort level with the class and what you are up against. My top there choices are:FBChronoWarrior Personally, I prefer my chrono in most of situations. Hope you enjoy all of the changes!

I was actually going to do this already, but I wanted some additional input from other players because I still do not even know who are the "good" commanders now.Plus, my server (Desolation, EU) is currently linked with Arborstone (FR) and most open pug commanders are French and, well... I don't speak French all that well :)@GameTheory.8059 said:Hey bud! Welcome back.
