Guild Wars 2

Looking for the Good Tier builds which are not in the meta. The good tier build doesn’t have to be more powerful than the meta build. Just builds that can handle itself well with almost equally skilled players with meta builds. These builds can fulfill a role well but other professions can do it better.

Meaning, if GW2 added a gw2pvx , these builds will make it into the good section.

I’ll start:

Thief Venom share

If the build is not from here and it works, go ahead and post it.

Mediation and Fresh air is still meta.

Want! I really miss it from the GW1 days. Intothemists was awesome for a while, but it sort of fell out of fashion I think.

No, not really. I guess it depends on how you define meta, but these builds are definitely not seen in competitive play. The exception being Fraelina playing a triple meds hammer guard a few weeklies ago.

Oh.. I’ve been rolling Thief Venom share build for the past couple weeks now and I was coming onto this thread to suggest it. Turns out your build is very similar to mine though.

Here it the build I run anyway

Pretty good in group fights too.
Venom shares
Fury, Might & Swiftness (10s) from Steal
Fury, Might & Swiftness (10s) from Rune proc

Surprisingly high Power considering it’s Condition based build.
Nice high health pool
Only 1.2k Toughness, but with a stealth build you don’t really need to worry about that.

Skelk Venom + Shadow Refuge + Sneak Attack (While Dark field is still down) = major healing.

Shatter Mesmer.
