Guild Wars 2

So, I’m running what I call my phantasm killer/golemancer build. It uses phantasmal swordsman, duelist, asura elite golem (series D), and golemancer runes on rampager gear, using Sword/Sword and Scepter/Pistol.

Traits: Domination 2 (empowered illusions), Dueling 3 (Phantasmal Fury), Inspiration 5 (Mender’s purity, persistent images), Illusions 4 (Compounding Power, Phantasmal Haste)

The idea here is to spawn as many hard hitting creatuers as I can and kite around in the meantime with some potshots here and there.

Overall it’s worked quite well. For instance, I killed the ooze with very little trouble. Deadeye nearly had me, actually downed me, but my three phantasms and two golems killed him off before I died.

My one real problem was the pirates, as there are so many of them and my phantasms, of course, are single target. I beat them with 2 seconds to spare, just barely.

First loss I’ve had was against… uh, the boy and his dog, lol. First time I killed the dog first, but took forever and lost via the clock, second time I killed the master, and his dog one shotted me.

Gonna try again this evening after work, but it was a lot of fun so far lol

Sounds fun, go for the dog first but you should focus on eating the meat and let your adds do the damage, basically aim for the achievement and you should have no problems in beating the encounter.

Yeah, I had to change my build a little for that battle; I changed two of my utility skills to signet of domination and mantra of distraction.

As it is, my timing wasn’t perfect, so I didn’t get the achievement, but I did win.

Then I fought Liadra, died pretty darned fast, first time ever and wasn’t quite prepared for how it played out, despite having read dulfy on how to fight her.

And after that, work time, so I’ll try again this evening.

If you’re dependant on summoned allies, Liadri is probably going to eat you alive, since everything she does basically instakills them. I beat her with a ranger, and I think my pets were alive for maybe ten seconds combined the whole time.

Yeah, pet builds are basically useless at Liadri. She was the only one that I couldn’t steamroll with my hybrid condi/MM build on my Necro.
