Guild Wars 2

I was messing around with the skill builder and the fact that Tornado gives a massive boost in Power, Precision, and Vitality, and wanted to make a build that abuses that fact. This is a build I made with zerging in WvWvW in mind.

Here is the build:

The idea of the build is very simple: Cast Meteor Shower in a good spot and cast tornado right afterwards to end up having about 5041 power, 92% crit chance, and 108% critical damage. Let the meteors destroy. >:) Then cast stuff as usual, being the good support/damaging zerg ele you are, and then when Tornado recharges repeat. There’s several combos and things you can do to make this combo even better (mag aura before tornado, lay down a combo field water for regen while in the tornado, etc. ), and once the meteor shower is over you can just exit and continue fighting as normal. I would love to see how this idea would work if a group of eles did this at a choke point. >:)

Thoughts on how this might be improved?

EDIT: Note on the choice of utilities: Heal signet for passive healing while running around in a zerg when you’re not hit as much so the passive heal can heal you up while you attack so you can increase your dps, arcane power for buffing meteor shower and the extra bonus in crit damage, and armor of earth so your meteor shower doesn’t get interrupted. Everything else is geared for as much damage as possible.

I hope they don’t nerf this

Hmmmm, well warriors, engineers, and necros have similar skills that buff them as well (Rampage, Elixir X, Plague, Lich Form), so I doubt they’d nerf it. The tradeoff for that combo is that you have a LOT less survivability, and when you’re using tornado you can’t cast any of your other spells, so you’d just be sitting there for a few seconds while meteor shower does it’s stuff.
