Guild Wars 2

I’m wondering if anyone has a good high dps DH build that doesn’t involve retaliation?

Retaliation is a killer when you’re dealing with the Boon Thieves instability… Metabattle builds for fracs all seem to include some traits that give retal, so they’re out.

Thanks in advance

retaliation + boon thieves isn’t as bad as it used to be, however. Used to be that the best DH was a dead DH because light field = death for everyone else. but I don’t really see perma-retal anymore now that the steal only triggers every 20s.

Generally when doing fractals with my guild, we don’t bother with a guard anymore. As it stands you want a mesmer for quickness and alacrity anyways and they can bring reflects. The only boss that could give you trouble is bloom hunger but since the current system either doesn’t give full rewards for this tier or just doesn’t give you swamp this is a non issue.

He’s looking for a high dps build for fotm for dh, that has no retal. And what I stated is there’s no point to doing dps guard without Zeal and that we don’t bother and just run mesmer instead, on top of the fact that in the current meta there’s no point to guard over mesmer.

Just wanted to share that I’ve been running that build ever since high lvl fractals, haven’t experienced any problems with it.

That build works fine. Just watch out for your Symbol of Wrath you drop when you get hit under 50%. If you’re on one of the boon steal instabilities and you have some fast hitting classes like Ele on your team, that retal will kill them.
