Thank you for the breakdown on roles too. I think I’m getting my head around them and might try and pick up Virtuoso again because it’s one of my face specs in the game even tho side noding absolutely scares
Elementalist is love, elementalist is life
I'm not a new player but watched this anyways, and I gotta say, THIS WAS QUALITY!!! Clear and accurate descriptions and the info/visuals you put on the screen were eye-catching and informative. Well done!!! (New subscriber!)
Hey Benjamin! Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and all the graphics I made! Thanks for the support :D
Awesome video! I've been playing for a couple months and this was hugely helpful!
Hey Greg! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful! Thanks for the support :D
Fantastic Video. Pleasant watch. Keep it up :)
Thanks for this Amazing Video!!! Now I know what I Want now
Hey Nirius! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for the support :D
Great video and very well made! This really helps me understand each class in GW2 better
Hey Khang! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for the support :D
Nice video, feels like I'd need to grab a pair of sunglasses if I ever wanted to watch it again though. Those bright white transitions are like getting a blast of the sun right into my eyeballs. Ouch!
Hey John! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Also, noted re: transitions. I made them bright into dark on purpose but I can change it for future videos if it's a problem. Thanks for the support :D
@@Shadowfall_TV idk man people are reaaaally making up criticisms lmao the video was perfect
Steam noob here. Great stuff! Thanks for putting this together.
Hey Dillon! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for the support :D
This video is absolutely perfect as someone who knows nothing about GW2 and just picked it up, thank you!
just saw this game launch on steam and haven't played it since 2014 but im down to give it another go. This was one of my favs for pvp back in the day, what server are you on if you don't mind me asking?
Hey Redding! Guild Wars 2 is doing great at the moment, it's a great time to get back into it. I'm on the Anvil Rock server. Thanks for the support! :D
Thanks for the video. Did you create those overview sheets or, if not, could you pass on the source?
Hey Diskotyque! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I created all of the sheets myself from scratch ^^
@@Shadowfall_TV Good work. Very professional looking! I'm a returning player. Interested in playing a crowd-control class so I can manage aggro and/or get out of sticky situations in pve when playing solo.
1:38 did you make the background and the inscription yourself or is that already somewhere on a website? It's so beautifully done and clear, I've also been looking for a website where I can find exactly that but unfortunately I haven't found one.
Hey Layzu! Yes, I made all of the graphics myself. I hope that answers your question! Thanks for the support and I hope you enjoy the videos :D
@@Shadowfall_TV Thanks i enjoyed :)
My favorite is weaver .
I liked the idea of longbow soulbeast ranger but Im having a very hard time dealing any DMG.
I copied the up to date dps build, with the correct pvp gear but i still do very little DMG , while my weaver by comparison can melt most most squishy opponents with just half of the combo
Hey Andre! Make sure you're on the correct amulet and runes. OWP Soulbeast has some of the highest ranged burst in the game!
@@Shadowfall_TV hi thanks for helping me 🙂.
I'm using marauder amulet because I liked the extra 5k HP while gaining the same amount of power and precision, only sacrificing some ferocity .
With Infiltrator Rune for extra power ferocity and damage %
I even use "sick'em" while merged and "one wolf pack"
But without them my long range shots only deal about 1k DMG and 1k DMG per second feels pretty bad , I got used to having high dmg skills every second on my weaver 😅
Would you consider the weaver ele to be the hardest class in the game?
Untamed is the hardest followed by chronomancer. Weaver has more buttons to learn at the start but it's fairly easy once you get the hang of it. Fire weaver is particularly forgiving but FA and LR aren't very complicated either after the initial learning curve.
Whichever you like.
I love it
What race is your thief in this video?
Hey Pavel! My thief is a human in this video! :)
@@Shadowfall_TV I am trying to find all thief races and their animations. Thanks anyway! :)
great video!
I'd like to play an annoying mobile dueling class that does a lot of damage and healing but isn't too hard to learn- is there such a thing? what would you recommend to a warrior player who wants to try something different and really annoy others? 😜👌
nerdy greetings from Germany!
Franky ✌😎
Hey Fraenky! I would recommend picking up ranger. Both ranger and warrior are primarily well-telegraphed physical damage dealers, so I think you would enjoy it. Hope that helps! Thanks for the support :)
@@Shadowfall_TV hey hello!
okay alright, i'll try my luck with it - thank you!
and keep it up, I celebrate your videos!
you get a subscription on top of it!
cheers 🍻
uggghhh im struggling to find the kind of character i want to play lol i feel like none of the base characters are fun for me lol
Does anybody know why a lot of people have more than 9 characters? I just started and I don't know if people do it just for fun/roleplaying or if there's a benefit in other ways 😅
Hi! One reason may be that each profession can advance to one of three unique "Elite Specializations". They could also, instead choose to remain as the base class/profession.
Guild Wars 2 is very alt-friendly so having multiple characters is nice for people that want to multiclass or fashion wars on multiple races/genders ^^
@@Shadowfall_TV Thanks! I saw a lot of players with legendary weapons. They looked so cool and I was hoping that I could get one myself with just 5 to 9 characters for farming and stuff haha.
@@binsluu2 you don't need alts to farm in gw2. people just have various characters 'cause it's fun and the classes are interesting. once you get your legendaries, as far as I know, you'll be able to use the same weapon with all your characters.
so do you HAVE to play the elite specs, or are they a choice
Optimal builds are not really important the ranks under Gold rank. The elite spec do occupy the meta but there are 3 non elite specs that are considered meta
Dps - core ranger
Support - core guardian
Roamer - core thief (not meta but very good)
That being said, Good game play trumps builds in gw2. Meta builds at their core are just builds that are good at their role
They are a choice! There are a lot of core builds that are effective all the way up into the higher divisions.
@@shamwaw336
Core ranger is a roamer. If you want a good core teamfight dps you got necro
I was told by a player with 2k hours "Don't bother with pvp until you own all the expansions"
@@scotthuffman3462 there are always plenty of bad players who know nothing about the game
We need u back for an update 😢
Daredevil Teef 4 lyfe
Amazing video, but the white transition screen is insanely bright. Everything else was 10/10.
Thx for vid
Hey Frequent! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Someone else mentioned that as well, I can do a black or darker white transition if it's too bright? Thanks for the support :D
@@Shadowfall_TV That would be sick! Would be a perfect video then
At it again. Brilliant vid. ironically I think you have me blocked coz I'm toxic ;) IN SAYING THAT i hope this helps the bait get better so i can stop being toxic WEOO
I'm still your biggest fan
Hey Flamespire! Glad you enjoyed the video again! I don't think I have you blocked, I haven't blocked anyone in a really long time but I'll double check if you give me your account name! I think I saw you type in chat a day or two ago if you were in one of my matches (iirc). Thanks for the support as always :D
@@Shadowfall_TV FLamespire.2034 I'm honestly not sure if you have or not TBH. but i always check to see if your online and u never are so i made the assumption.
Necro always being the most S tier character for the whole game... This class literally does everything better
The answer is always Mesmer or Ranger 😁
@Houndour Lol Mesmer is literally the 2nd or 3rd best class in PVP
I can't endorse people saying warrior is easy as its skill is simple but the class is not.
36? there are only 27 Elite Specs. Great video otherwise!
PvP makes a lot of people quit the game
Good thing PVPers only makeup a tiny fraction of GW2 and most MMOs - and, as such, should never be catered to at the expense of the pve experience. Though hopefully arenanet are also able to address any concerns of their PVP players.
@@fakepants tho back in core Times gw2 was meant to be a high pvp focused game. But sweaped to pve when the first Expansion drops what made pvp complete unbalanced in like the first year ^^
@@fakepants the game is literally called GUILD WARS ffs
The franchise was originally a PvP scenario game. Noob
Pvp in the original was siiick
