Guild Wars 2

Trying to make a build for solo/duo roaming pvp that is an obnoxious, impossible to kill, bunker/heal/annoy build that does mediocre damage but has a ton of healing/sustain and obnoxious amounts of mobility.

What would be best for this, armor and skill wise?

Should I go a power/heal build with armor like Clerics?

Or should I go a Condition build with armor like Shaman?

What weapon setup should I go for it as well? Dagger, Staff, Focus, etc.

End goals for the build should be:
High Sustain Through Healing/Tough or Vit
High amount of Condition Cleansing
Decent to High Mobility
Mediocre Damage (Not great, not poor, just mediocre)

hmm sounds a bit like cele. Would go with a mix of condi and celestial gear with durability rune. Water + arcane + tempest aurabased. (can go earth as well)
Weapon is what you like i go scepter/focus but dagger/focus or warhorn works too.
Playstyle is also a matter. You can do something hard to kill for power builds with earth camping and stone heart, but it will have trouble with condies and low damage.
So it depends how good you an play ele.
I did a build without much healing and i only die to very good players or perplexity mesmers.

Maybe such a build will work -)

Mobile, good damage, tanky, heal and cleanse. Weakness here is low stability.

You can 3 vs 20 with this: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vFIQJAodn0XC9XiFYCeOA8RglNAzdv+XPsDPgAwFkYFcBqAA-T1hIABwpE0Q1fuZ/BufAAIp8DgTAwa6BIDQ1YA-w

Yes katniss Meta ele in cele ….. It´s one of the OP builds why cele was removed in sPvP :-)

It was a lot stronger in PvP than it is in WvW because of the overwelming amount of stats it gave across the board when compared to the stats everyone else had. Realistically, Anet didn’t NEED to remove cele amulet, they just needed to nurf to cut all of the stats down about 10-15 points – then it would have been more balanced.

I don’t think its necessarily OP. I’ve seen people lose fights with that build pretty easily. A person who knows how to play it well won’t lose fights almost ever, but if matched against someone who knows how to play Rev or warrior really well, they may lose.

I know it needs a good player. I don´t play full cele but good power warriors are realy hard. and while i usually beat revenants i met a good one a few days ago whos damage i could not stand very long …
The good thing is that the rising condi warriors and all those thiefs running around are not such a threat :-).

Warrior has always stomped any build of ele because eles have garbage stun breaks on long cd’s and low base health which means warriors with stuns as low cd as 10-15 seconds can land 8-10k 100b and 7-9k eviscerates on the ele pretty often.

With healing signet and OP adrenal health plus two endure pain procs for 12 effective seconds of invulnerability it means the fight is pretty lopsided in the warrior’s favor.

In general berzerker warriors are stupidly OP roamers at the moment.

I suggest against any kind of roaming on ele…pointless fight, and waste of gold for gear

They have some advantages over ele true. But with so many unskilled people playing them since everyone says they are OP and thus become the flavor of the month, they are pretty easy to counter if you don’t rush and wait for their cool downs to expire. Any skilled ele in cele gear can pretty much wipe the floor with them.

Also we’ll see what possible nerfs they do to warrior this upcoming Tue. With all the QQ in sPvP about it I can’t imagine warrior getting untouched.

I’m actually quite nervous that Anet would go full kitten and actually nerf Ele self sustain like how those noobs suggested in PvP subforum.

If they’re gonna nerf anything, it should be aquatic benevolence. Non-bunker Eles barely hold their ground already and further nerf to self sustain is too big of a hit.

Thief is better for this. Ele’s sustained mobility just isn’t that good.
