Just farmed some people in 1vX skirmishes on my Dire/apothecary Soulbeast last night. You have disengage with any bird pet, and I usually roll with Owl. It certainly has more disengage than any guard or necro build. It's as strong as it was a year ago and crushes all of those meta roaming specs u mentioned, mostly due to the immob spam and spammable condi bombs. To your point, any 1v4 gets way too unmanageable so I am building a condi immob Druid. I realized ANet only gutted druids in spvp, but in WvW it feels like an actual class. I think this is my #1 choice for roaming with my friends.I imagine Malyx/Herald is probably still a menace because it only got gutted in spvp as well.

Low Condition application and dependency on Traps, Skirmishing and weapons like Axe, Torch, and Dagger mean you sacrifice most of your defensive options and mobility to have only moderate damage.Condition is best used as a Druid because Ancient Seeds carries it against literally anything besides Thief.

It's still good against the average player.Anything with high mobility and moderate cleanse played by someone who knows what they're doing will make quick work of it, but it's still very low risk and counters any melee dependent or low mobility builds.Boonhate and the general nature of it being painful to be in the vicinity of make it a very good small scale build though. It may not do as well in some 1v1's assuming the opponent is decent, but in all small group fights it'll be very strong, especially with Tormenting runes which will give you huge sustain the more targets you have.Any decent roaming guard builds? Burn guard? Looking at this marauder core build - can I run that in small gangs as well or just zergs?Burn Guard is meme-y, I don't recommend it unless you're playing in a larger group. It tends be strongest between 10 and 15 players where it's less likely to get constantly cleansed, but more likely to cleave people out with SoJ and Purging Flames.In smaller groups and solo it's too easy to deal with unless who you're playing with have enough CC's or cover Conditions to compliment you.Power Guard is good in 1v1's and decent in small groups, but not great. If you want to play Guard for roaming I recommend pretty much anything DH as it's in a similar boat to CHerald- low risk, noob stomper, good group utility, and still dangerous against better players. Power Firebrand is also quite good, although uncommon and difficult to play. It has a lot of multi-hits and tends to behave similarly to something like Flamethrower Engi in that it doesn't do a whole lot of damage with a couple hits so people will try to tank it and get deleted when everything lands.

I disappeared for a couple of years and came back a few months ago. The advice is pretty solid, even if experienced roamers know it anyway. I mostly solo roam, which can limit your options a bit. But I've seen solo roamers of just about every class doing well when they know their build and the builds they're facing. Running with 3-4 friends adds in the additional dimension of your group comp. Here I've seen every class have a place and do really well, including the builds you asked about (team support is great, aoe pressure is great, coordinated burst is great, etc, etc). Sounds like you have some experience with wvw, so just know the game hasn't changed so much that what you know is obsolete. If your group is organized and knows their stuff, you'll dominate most of the people out there, even if they're using the freshest and most overturned builds and you're not.

Looking to roam with 3-4 friends. Before I left I was playing a condi bunker Soulbeast to great effect. Did it move up in the meta?Was Malyx rev roamer gutted, or still decent?Any decent roaming guard builds? Burn guard? Looking at this marauder core build - can I run that in small gangs as well or just zergs?Thx.Great that's all we need. Another gank group running around targeting solo players and dropping c a n c e r on them. That's perfectly healthy for wvw.Why would you assume s/he's doing that? Wvw has always had room for a lot of playstyles and different sized groups doing a range of things. Just yesterday I heard about a 12 person group running around ebg just flipping camps... and nothing else. I don't get it, but whatever floats their boat.You obv don't spend much time in wvw either that or youre always in a zerg. I almost exclusively solo roam, and have for the last eight years or so (with a couple year hiatus in the middle). So, now that we've established that you jump to conclusions, perhaps it's worth reconsidering your assumption about the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
