A Comprehensive Summary - Builds and their Counters

Seraphayel

I misplaced this thread, that's why I created it in this forum section again

Hello together,

I was thinking about making this thread for quite some time now.

There are a lot of threads that go about "nerf this, nerf that" which are not really helpful for either players or the developers. Instead of just calling for nerfs I want to create a thread as a place you usually visit first and look for some advice before trying to call for nerfs or changes.

What's the purpose of this thread?

Create a list of (PvP) builds / playstyles and offer insights and ideas on how to counter them.

How will this thread look like when you contribute to it?

I will create a list you can quickly go through where all of the different playstyles and their counters are listed. So that it's easy for everyone to go through and look for the build and the respective counter measurements.

Example

Class: Any
Build category: Stamina, Melee
Build: Bleeds
Counter: XYZ

It's very important that you, the players, offer as much information as possible to make this thread as comprehensive and useful as it should be. Please contribute to it by listing builds and giving insights on your counter measures to face those builds and survive / win the fight.

Thank you all!

Umm ok I will try to contribute

My experience for record

64 days server time on warden.

Class: Warden
Build Catagory: Stamina Melee
Build: Shalk Dawnbreaker Steel Tornado
Counters: Major Evasion, Blocking, CC

In depth counter: When I would set up my kills it would rely heavily on dawnbreaker, without dawnbreaker to stun I wouldn’t be able to pressure enough as the enemy could go on the defensive. Generally speaking most people I found, who i lost to, were staying close to me and trying to predict the dawnbreaker and block it to prevent the stun. I also felt a lot weaker when fighting people using major evasion. Lastly it also helps to constantly apply soft and hard CC as they will help keep resource pressure up, which only helps you in the long run as I can’t attack effectively if I’m out of stamina.

If people appreciate the information I may do something a little more in-depth but I’m not sure if what I’m telling is common knowledge at this point.
