I think if you understand your build (not just class) then you should know what counters you and who you counter in those regards For example, if you don’t have a lot of condi cleanse then obviously you should avoid scourge (or any condi build in general). If you can’t maintain a reasonable stability uptime then warrior and holo might give you a hard time. And if you are glassy then power thief and Mesmer (or any power build class) could be your nightmare and so on. Then again it comes down to your skill and experience. Try to avoid direct match up with those who counter you is generally a good practice in PVP. I don’t think there’s any shame in running away from a fight if you know you gonna lose (though you may get abused by other players from time to time). Good luck

I am just wondering which class should really hop into the mid circle in the beginning of a match? I find myself very often running ahead of everyone in the beginning of a match (I hope it’s not because everyone else was scared to fight). Then of course I get all the attention from the enemy team and always have to run around and try to shake them off. Sometimes even when I have 2 players chasing after me, I can still find my whole team lose the mid fight. Maybe I am just playing my role wrong (I am currently playing weaver) but this pretty much happen when I play any classes I have (war/necro/thief) Any advice is greatly appreciated

I only just started playing weaver not long ago but I think I have mastered weaver to a point where I am using full zerker and I don’t die much now. I go full power sword/dagger with fire131/air121/weaver121 Weaver is a lot of fun so I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do

Thanks for all your advices. Apparently weaver condi is also viable and quite strong. I remember seeing a video of someone soloing the champion bounty with it. My SB actually is full berserker and he’s “very” survivable in pve. A bit too easy to be honest and hence giving me this “boring” game play feel. Still like it but really needed a change. I do agree with some of you that weaver is way too squishy for berserker especially when facing certain fast-moving and powerful mob who downs you in 3-4 hits. Maybe it’s a ltp issue for me but so far I really have no clue how to beat these certain mobs without fully going into defensive traits.

Thanks guys I guess I will go for berserker and maybe tweak it with some different stats trinkets for open world and maybe (if I really want to) save up for another set for WvW in the future. I am slowly getting better at weaver, so happy xD

Well I have been thinking to fully equip my ele with ascended gear these days but I haven’t decided what stats to give him. From what I can see so far I should use zerker in open world and marauder in WvW. I don’t think I’ll have time and the resource for second set so any suggestion?

Well no it’s not. I just felt the game was challenging again when I was getting killed by playing a class I am not familiar with. I suppose you are right. But for now I just want to enjoy weaver lol. I am a bit stubborn and that’s probably why I was stuck with warrior for a long time.

Like seriously thank you for inventing this class.I’ve been playing warrior pretty much since game launch. After so many years of boring game play I finally decided to take a long break. When I first came back to this game I was like “meh” the game still just as boring as where I left it. Then I thought why not try a different class - elementalist (weaver in particular) and boom! I am in love with this game again. I mean I died like 100 times over the last two weeks in pve but I totally enjoyed it. I like how fragile it is and how you need to think a few steps ahead before you engage the mobs. I still suck at attunement rotations but then again I enjoy how terrible I am at pressing those buttons. I only needed to press gs skill 2 and 3 to win most of the fights when I play warrior. The class has definitely made this game more challenging and more fun for me. So thank you ANet and please keep up with all the good works.
