GW2 WvW - HOLOSMITH is the new META - Holosmithing Zergs vol. 7

Holosmith gameplay with a mix of clips from December WvW zergs fights.

The latest update, especially the Chronomancer buff, has shaken up the WvW meta. This has elevated Holosmith to one of the two main DPS in WvW zergs (alongside Berserker). Holo brings outstanding burst damage and strong areas attack thanks to its Elite skill: Prime Light Beam

This is a result of changes in the meta: the top zergs are now stacking support classes (3 in each party), making them very tanky. The fighting style itself is starting to resemble the one known from the Chinese server: standing in one place and dueling by the numbers: the one with better sustain and the ability to generate the highest DPS wins. In this context, Holosmith and Berserker are among the best specializations.

Unfortunately, the new meta also has a downside. In my opinion, the fights have become somewhat dull. WvW now involves standing in one place and pressing buttons. I hope that this issue will be promptly addressed, perhaps through a significant nerf to the third support class, namely Chronomancer and Scourge. How do you like the new WvW meta?
