I’m not going to lie, the game is hard for new players. There are so many experienced players, and as a new player, you don’t have mastery. Sometimes NPCs and siege weapons can one-shot you. If I were to start from the beginning, I would play a support profession like Guardian with the Firebrand specialization or Elementalist with a support spec. I would focus on leveling up my mastery first because you level up much faster as support. Also, a support build costs only about 10-20 gold if you’re starting from scratch. You can buy everything in WvW using heroics, honor, and a little gold. Besides that, the Wizard’s Vault will help you a lot with gold and other stuff. Just by healing and providing boons to others, you get experience and loot. You have a much higher chance of surviving and having fun. Join a WvW guild and find a group.
To any new players out there wanting to get into WvW, a few tips and some advice. 1) If possible, pick a set of gear that works for both open world and WvW, with very minimal adjustments. 2) If possible, put a build together that works in open world and WvW, with very minimal trait changes. This lets you learn the buttons and feel of the build before walking into WvW. 3) Be ready to learn! Have a build/play style in mind like a solo or small group roamer. And just simply go out and do it. Go out and try to take those 1v1’s, if you die you die. Have zero ego, if you die try to learn why you died. Some builds and classes counter others, so learn what you feel confident against and what you don’t. 4) Know that even the best players get shit on. You might do some 1 shotting, or you might get 1 shot. The wicked montages you see don’t show all the times they died and had to run back. It’s OKAY to lose fights. 5) Have fun, WvW is so unique to this game. It’s such a fun game mode, do what you enjoy. Play in a Zerg, try solo roaming. Join a guild and roam with friends! Once you feel comfortable with one build or class, start expanding. There’s so much out there that you WILL enjoy something else. Don’t take it to serious. 6) Last, as a general guideline, look online and find a build that exists. If you’re new, you just won’t put together a viable and cohesive build. Tweak things to your liking, but use existing builds as a starting point to see what you like and if it’s your play style!
Glad to see you back, your deadeye build you explained in your full tutorial helped me a ton with getting into the very difficult but very fun pvp of gw2 :)
I think the trap is that only some professions have viable zerg specs with f2p builds. Especially if you just join a random tag if you aren't using an elite spec you'll just get dumped in the useless group
