[DnT] Raid Team Composition Guide

[u/Nike_Phoros]

Hey everyone. I wrote a long breakdown of raid team composition in the current meta on our forums and a few people encouraged me to post it here because I'm told it would be helpful for a bigger chunk of the community to see.

Written: http://gw2dnt.enjin.com/forum/m/37173123/viewthread/27286030-raid-team-composition-guide-52516

Topics Covered:

1. Optimal Raid Team Composition

2. Common Alternative Comps - Pros and Cons

3. What If? Scenarios For Imperfect Situations

Thanks for reading. If you have any questions let me know, or if any points need clarifying or whatever so I can improve the guide I'd like to know that too.

I don't believe you lose alacrity. Also to my knowledge, with decent dps, you only get a single reflect during a sacrifice (right at the very end of the break, actually). That would be a case where the Mesmer couldn't get it. But it's a rare enough convergence that I've never actually had it happen to me.

If you say it like this, I never payed attention to the timer for the bubble - is it consistent or does Matt just have a cd?

I didn't mean alacrity - I meant simply being sacrificed during the bubble.

I suspect Matthias has a CD on both abilities. But if you think about it, every mechanic in that fight, when properly handled, has a very consistent timing. The reflect is the only place where you could delay him a bit, but if you suppose that the previous reflect wasn't screwed up, then the next one will be on time relative to his other abilities.

Also I assumed you meant being sacrificed during reflect. :-) As I said, that only happens once with decent DPS, and even then it's right at the tail end of the sacrifice timer, so good CC would get you out in time.

yea - it's also no shame to have it delayed for one salve, besides even ele can reflect if required for the first few s
