Tactics (PvP)

Tactics in the context of PvP refers to the actions taken by players during a match in response to actions taken by the other players. This differentiates it from strategy, which is entirely carried out before the game based on the current metagame.

A good player must be both a competent tactician and a master strategist. Tactics cover builds, team builds, sinning, splitting, ganking, linebacking, snaring and kiting techniques. A full list of PvP tactic articles on the wiki can be found at Category:PvP tactics.

Specific strategies and PvP tactics can also be found in the State of the Game section of guildwars.com. For those just joining the world of PvP please refer to the PvP Primer section for basic tactics and guidelines.
