Guild Wars 2 Commander Camp -- Making and Using A Comp

-- One of the biggest differences in group quality for World vs. World is your squad's comp. A comp is the specific number, party organization, and specific builds used by players in your squad. In this video, I'll be covering the basics of how to think about making a comp that suits your own playstyle, and how the comp of the group that you command for is something that you can use to improve your group's performance overall.
-- Particular thanks to [SF] Aech and [KnT] Zikk in their advice, suggestions, and contributions to this video. It's a big and complicated topic, and their perspective was useful in focusing on the most essential overall points.

Very helpful video. I really appreciate it

[@tronghieuthai8384]

Fastest click in the West. Man I hope you keep it up with this series, this really motivate me to become a WvW one day, since I'm a PvE commander for farm train like Dragonfall or Drizzlewood already. But for WvW, I still need a lot more lessons to be more confident to lead one, and your videos are super big helps for me my man.

[@sheffplaysgames]

I'll have some more info in a couple days -- planning to do a full channel update soon -- but I'm going to attempt to get Commander Camp onto a biweekly video schedule this spring. We'll see how well I can stick to that. Appreciate the motivation. :)

[@AURA_206]

Sweet video thanks so much!

[@CaptnCrunchface]

This video could not have come out at a better time. I'm learning more-and-more about group comps, specifically how my current guild does it. Hopefully one day I'll be able to help with tweaks and builds once I get better at it. Thanks Sheff!

[@YummyKatsy]

Thanks Sheff! I forwarded this to my friend that wanted to learn how to command. ^^

Would love to see a vid explaining the reasons why a new player should be in discord. Hoping that will help with the influx of new accounts that are very casual. Liked, and subbed.

[@sheffplaysgames]

Let me know if this is a sufficient answer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZPKnYCgjZekmNU

[@HanselRhodes]

@@sheffplaysgames I am subbing aswell! Good job friend! As a pug commander for wvw it is very interesting to see you name and explain some things that I was already doing. Very nice!

[@begbeg1122]

good jop

[@donbraymusic8048]

can i please have the build for your spellbreaker? :)

[@sheffplaysgames]

It changes depending on who I'm fighting that night. This should be a safe option overall. gw2skills.net/editor/?PKkAIZlZwEZfMLGJmqX2PLA-D2IY6o6/MyUqGzqSjPBAA-w

[@davoinshowerhandle3302]

When everything is optimized is it still fun ?

[@fieragames]

yes

[@sheffplaysgames]

Fun is subjective. For me, one of the fun things about World vs. World is that you are able to coordinate individual builds at this level. But there's no single correct way to play World vs. World. It won't be for everyone.

[@RbDaP]

For me the best part is that even if everything is optimized it is still very much a case by case victory or defeat. Wvw is just that complex
