Guild Wars 2

Is the following build a good setup to shoot for for roaming in WvW?

Well, I’d say yes (of course). I ain’t no expert, though.

Yeah this is my only concern. The crit dmg is low, but the power is fairly high. What do you suggest I swap to increase the crit dmg a worthwhile amount?

uh well, dont ask me, i play a glassy s/d build in wvw :p

Oh haha a little biased towards damage then xD. I think I’ll swap some trinkets if I find I need more damage. Money isn’t an issue atm with the bb event so I think I’m going to try this build out and see how it goes.

I’d swap some of that soldier’s gear for valkyrie/cavalier, maybe go for 2 air instead of 2 earth. As you’re already running pack runes I’d try to get the max out of that Fury.

Alternatively, if you got enough spare gold I’d switch pack runes for strength runes, on tanky builds they tend to work better than pack.

I was actually thinking about doing this. I think I’ll try a set of strength and see how I like it.

From my perspective-

Your stats are good ~ 30% crit is right where you want to be with 2200 power and 2600 armor.

IMO, Energy sigils are better than battle sigils, you already can generate enormous amounts of might without the battle sigil. I imagine you’re using the Air sigil for a bit more DPS, but I think that an Intelligence Sigil would suit you better.

Burning speed(crit) → lightning flash(crit) → Fire grab (crit) will wreck people.

Since you’ll be encountering conditions galore in WvW, I would choose Hoelbrak runes over strength as makku has suggested. They’re roughly equivalent in might stacking capability.

With your traits, they look good except for the water tree- I’d suggest that you get Soothing Disruption as opposed to Soothing Wave. You’ve traited for reduced cantrip mastery, might as well make the most of your cantrips, and cleansing water.

You’ll probably want Mist form if you’re hitting zergs with D/D.

Personally I always run powerful auras when I D/D.
