Guild Wars 2

I think the last time I played GW2 they had just buffed Tequatl to give you a sense of how long I’ve been gone. Aside from losing all muscle memory when it comes to stacking might I was trying to find out what the current meta is.

I used to run S/D with PVT armor and PPF daggers and sceptre. I have 2 usoku’s needles and a hypnotic sceptre. For staff if I go that way I have a Assassin’s pearl qtr staff. I am guessing I had so much precision and ferocity because I was running a fresh air build which i don’t even know if it is viable anymore.

Otherwise I remember it was stack might, lightning hammer, profit. Does that still work or is there something better?

For PvE (and probably all other game modes at this point), I think the general opinion is zerker staff is the best build, and got even better with the specialization changes. I don’t remember when or why that surpassed stacking might + LH.

Thanks for the quick reply, I remember using staff in WvW but I found it pretty boring. I guess in the meantime I’ll run some low level stuff to get back the feel of the game and hopefully I’ll figure out the specialization changes through osmosis once I remember what I’m doing.

I agree that it is boring. It seems like the optimal ‘rotation’ is just to stay in Fire, with AAs, and #2 and #3 when they are off cooldown.

Hopefully with the elite spec, there will be other alternatives to the staff, but unfortunately an offhand weapon doesn’t solve the horrific AAs of the scepter.
