Guild Wars 2

Need advice on a good roaming build. d/d? s/d? s/f? I don’t know really. Whatever works the best with a great amount of damage for roaming as well as some vitality like how soldiers runes work in PvP. I just don’t know what to go for because there aren’t that many new builds that I’ve found and I’m not ready to go full berserker trinkets with 13k hp but I do want enough damage output for roaming with a recent amount of HP to survive. I’ve seen builds that focus on toughness for some sustain but from what I know toughness doesn’t help that much. Thanks for any help! And links to builds with gear and trait setups would be awesome. Thanks!

You have to be willing to try on your own. I bought every set of armor and every set of trinkets (all minus condi stuff) and mixed and matched until I was a happy camper.

You’ll have to find what works for you mate. The more work you put in the better you’ll do for yourself.

You can put on someone else’s shoe, but how well will it fit you?

I agree that I will eventually find a build and gear of my own but as I’m new to the profession I would like somewhere I can start with so I don’t spend gold I don’t need to. I only have 60g currently and on my thief I spent a little over that for a full set of travelers runes. I’m currently running D/D 0/0/10/30/30 but if s/d or s/f is more viable that would be info much appreciated. What I’m really looking for specifically is gear setup since that’s where I’ll be spending my gold. Thanks for any replies! And again, I’m looking for something that has good power for roaming so I can 1vx and also support me with some hp like soldiers amulet would give me 20khp in sPvP.

This is a pretty basic roaming fresh-air build:

Mainly: High damage, high mobility. Utilizes the currently-broken critical damage stat-line for more damage output. The armor set for this build is likely to be changed when the ferocity changes come in on the next balance update.

Edit: THis build has 15.5k health. But with defence against guards (5 stacks) you should be hovering around 17.5k which is survivable in most cases.

Good luck.

Thanks a bunch! I am nervous about celestial though since there’s been a large amount of threads saying this next patch is going to kill it. I guess we’ll see. If anyone has any other builds without celestial I would be interested. Thanks!
