Guild Wars 2

Hey all, what are the best or cheesiest roaming builds for each class in WvW right now?

If by cheesy you mean to really sprinkle salt all over someone’s day? Then these few might enlighten you:

• PU condi Mesmer or any form of condition Chronomancer
• trapper rune condi Thief
• tank Druids because it takes 3 people or so to catch them and shut them down
• condi Berseker mace/shield
• full nomad builds on any class that has high heal uptime be it passives or traits; Druids, Berserker Warriors etc
• well played Scrapper sustain builds.. Metabattle probably has a few

Notice how many are condi based? People don’t like fighting DoTs that seemingly abuse stealth/passives to out sustain you.

Just check metabattle for any current builds.

Happy salt collecting if you play these builds.

Best roaming builds:
- D/P Thief
- Meta power Warrior
- Burst shatter Mesmer

Best cheesy roaming builds:
- Condition Lotus Thief
- Condition Chronophantasma Mesmer

Best at everything build:
- Meta power Druids

I define cheese as effective builds with few direct counters and lower skill levels required to play compared to their effectiveness. My ranked list in cheesiness high to low:

Druid: Stealth Bunker or Stealth Bunker hybrid
Thief: Perma-stealth trapper
Mesmer: Pretty much any Dire condi variant
Warrior: Shield/GS Stance Boon builds
Guardian: DH Trapper builds
Scrapper: Not much cheese but the Bunker Gyro builds come somewhat close
Necro: No cheese in small scale
Revenant: No cheese in small scale
Elementalist: No cheese in small scale

Typical condi builds such as low stealth condi thief, necro condi builds, etc have strong counter play and are often not easy to play. Those that lump all condi builds into the same pile are typically lower skilled or less experienced players. Only a small handful of condi builds do well in duels and those often have roaming drawbacks. Passive Bunkering centered around Boons in this game is the “real” cheese on most classes currently.
