Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, figured I’d put together a List of all the builds played during the finals.
(not shown) means that at least part of the build was not shown on stream and inferred from gameplay/guesswork. If you catch any mistakes, do let me know!

Nos uses “Master of Corruption” instead of “Path of Corruption”.

I wonder why the only GS warrior build is not shown ^^

Thanks, yea he does:D

Well it was shown, just not the traits which I figured would be identical to the bow-warrior

Traits were shown aswell, just watch the khylo match.

That was what i was getting at. Just had to smile

Yep quite right actually! Got the traits right anyway, thanks for the catch!

Thanks for putting this together. I find it interesting that all necros have different preferences.

It’s interesting to see revenants in literally every team and even in almost same build, but forum pvp experts for some reason demanding to nerf warrior instead.

It’s not odd at all. It’s a skill floor difference.

Putting up a huge condi stack with a warrior is extremely easy. That causes it to dominate at low and medium skill levels. And it doesn’t need much team help to do that. So anyone can pick it up and melt most of the playerbase, which leads to calls for nerfs. The same thing happened with Dragonhunter.

In comparison, your potential as a revenant is more closely tied to your skill across all levels. It also needs team support to do exceptionally well. Given that most of the playerbase doesn’t have that level of skill depth and tends to not coordinate, revenants aren’t being seen as overly strong in most games.

Both warrior and revenant need nerfed – just in different ways.

“Trap Thief” is a poor title. It’s just a standard D/P Thief. The third utility slot is flexible, and taking Shadow Trap for mobility doesn’t make it a trapper build. That’s like saying the same build is a “Venom Thief” because it uses Basilisk Venom.

True, it is slightly misleading I suppose. The trap was just what defined the build compared to other thief builds (similar to Retribution / Invocation Rev)
