User:Guthanius Foxwood/Guth's PvP Tactics Help Corner

Hi! I'm Guthanius Foxwood, a frequent Guild Wars player, and a loyal patron of Guild Wars Wiki. PvP Tactics to me is having a "firing order" to your build, or special weapons/skills that negate widely used annoyances, such as sever degen. So you want to know how to become an expert tactician without the special order/weapons/skills? Well it’s as simple as thinking! Just compile information about builds and skills you have seen used or used yourself. You don’t even have to write down your brainstorms, just compile the information in your head and go back to it later on, and study what you have. Just like preparing for a test in school (hopefully no matter how old you are you remember that). And now after all of that studying, it’s time for your big exam! Now that you probably have a good collection of skills/builds, think of one specific Elite Skill that you want to use, along with some supporting regular skills. If you don’t have an Elite Skill yet, you can do one of two things depending on what type of character you are using. If you are using a PvP Only, go to a Priest of Balthazar, and purchase an Elite Skill you think would go well with some regular skills you have already chosen. Now that you have an experimental build, GO GET ‘EM! The only way to be sure your tactics are good within the build is to go and fight. You should fight in the Zaishen Challenge to start out testing. If it didn’t do so well, try and study more and go in for that makeup test! Now if your build worked really well, great job! It’s time to bump up to the next level, go and try your build out at Zaishen Elite. If it worked there for at least 5 battles, you now are the proud owner of a great PvP build! I would advise saving the build to a template for posterity. As for all of you who fell at the hands of the Elite, just continue to study, study, study! Don’t be discouraged, and keep looking for that rainbow on the horizon.

--Have fun, Guthanius Foxwood
