Helpful GvG Guide 
Here's a bit outdated but still good GvG guide for balanced(u phail if u run gimmicks anyway). It has all the basics to kiting, frontlining, midlining that you would need to start out. I know that GA isn't the most PvP talented forum so I thought this might help to you aspiring PvPer's.

Even after the hundreds of GvG's I've done it still taught me a bit since Daek is a good player and legitimately good.

Clicky

Enjoy.

RE: Helpful GvG Guide 
Thanks for the post, I hope this forum topic section is as successful as Wyate insists it will be

And old but good guides are always awesome! Just means they are that much better to have stuck around that long.

RE: Helpful GvG Guide 
Hopefully this guide would help people like it helped me. I learned a lot from it since I wasn't too great at frontlining, but this guide definitely helped so frontlining is second nature to me.


quit gw for good. end of story.

target calling is the most important part of frontlining. If you can't target call you fail at frontline since that's what you have to do, and do it correctly.

RE: Helpful GvG Guide 
Actually, when im frontlining, i only tend to call spikes/low targets otherwise ill break my ctrl and space keys coz of how often i switch...

EDIT: people who play with me know thats wot i do, and they tend to notice when im not bashing on their guy anymore

I think your right, target calling is important because if the person frontlining doesnt do it right it can cause a wipe. I have seen it happy many times, and usually the person to blame is not the nub in the group its the frontliner.

just a thought. I could be wrong.

You're right.The nub can be blamed just for being nub and people will tend to watch him more carefully than the frontliners. But with frontlining you HAVE to call targets. Without calling targets, people spread out, enemies kite like crazy, no presure so therefore no killing because when you call you can easily take down someone with the help of midline shutdown, and pressure from the other frontiner. It's a vital part of GvG.

You guys should get lucky charms, we have those in wow so you can put like a skull over the first to be killed, a red X over the secton, a purple diamond over the third, etc. It makes calling much easier, but then agian you still need a responsible frontliner to do so.

I like lucky charms :-) I sheep blue circle, thats my job as a mage :-D

Though often target calling isn't frontline, it could be a mesmer, ele or paragon (etc.) from the midline.

Midline should be strat calling, not target calling.

Communication is key tbh and I dont see how bad target calling from the frontline can lead to party wipe... oO
