Best Resources for Learning PvP in GW2

I say just jump into PvP matches for some real experience! Seriously, find a few builds you like and start practicing. You can use the golems in the sPvP lobby to get a feel for your skills and rotations without the pressure of real matches. Just remember, everyone loses sometimes, so focus on what you can learn from each match rather than getting frustrated.

Practice is key! Go into matches without getting upset about dying. Instead, reflect on what you could’ve done differently. Did you use the right skills? Could you have rotated better? Self-judgment is crucial for improvement in PvP!

Another thing to consider is learning from mistakes: don’t blame others when things go wrong. Instead, think about how you could adjust your strategy next time. It’s all part of the learning curve!

You might also want to check out resources like Metabattle and Hardstuck for build advice, but do check the dates since guides can become outdated fairly quickly. General tips are usually timeless, but builds might need to be more current. YouTube video guidelines can help too, just be cautious about how recent they are.

It really depends on how serious you are about improving and what you want to focus on. YouTube has some solid content, especially from Shadowfall. His videos cover essential concepts, and you might find Marks’ recent video helpful, even if it’s a bit rambly. Avoid channels that don’t dive into the mechanics of matchups and rotations—they often lead to bad advice! Discord can have misinformation, but if you sift through it, you can find useful tips. The Welcome to PvP Discord is one option, although I had my ups and downs there. Twitch streams are great too, as many players showcase their skills live and share valuable insights.
