Guild Wars 2

So, I’ve been messing around with these 2 different builds in pvp since the latest patch. Paladin’s and Mercenary’s amulets both seem pretty promising. I really wanted to share these builds with you guys and get some feedback!!! So let me know what you think!! Hope you enjoy them! Thanks

Bump. People start to see what i play since hot. The fire/earth scepter condi tempest. Did two matches in the morning and whiped them with it …. This weak scepter critter is actually a sustained damage condi weapon combined with tempest . And i also go with soldiers. It feels like the best option. Sigils in a mercanary build are doom and fraility.
For the paladin version i am not shure fire is the best choice. I would try arcane.

This is like i would try fresh air ele. Paladin for more defence. Marauder offense.
Its also very useable with dagger offhand. The instants in air are a good thing, the lower swap CD is useful here and the arcane shields cover and damage. Can swap the boons from air for more ferocity to hit harder too, but this is -20% crit while overloading. The swap furry doesn´t help wirth OL. Here you fire a shout whith your air OL and use instants to cover.

Mercenary’s tempest is amazing, most people don’t expect condi tempests in the first place, but its pretty great!! Definitaly a fun build to play!
I’ve literally tried every trait combo for fresh air tempest. I went for fire for the big increase in damage it can give! Compared to water arcane or earth it was a little more fragile but offered a lot more punch. Either way you’re susceptible to the same things, you’ll just live like 2 secs longer with a more defensive traitline.

prolonged condi preassure will kill the FA tempest. You have to do the preassure. Go in use arcane shield do damage and kill. Well i never played FA, but i used arcane a lot and it was great to increase punch while covering you for a few seconds, well its a few seconds, but it might kill or panic the oponent.
I tested the mercenary tempest and it plays well, but the amulet somehow didn´t catch me. Might give it another try. Also mercenary and sage played quite similar and the extra healing helps your team. I just swap traits. In mercenary i use tepestious aria, with sage i use invigoration torrets

There’s no doubt I love arcane, and it can definitely work well! I just love running fire tbh, you get crazy high damage in fire attunement so you can just go from air overload to fire…like I’m getting 4-5k crits with burning speed 6k fire grabs, and in a pinch I can pop fire overload which I’ve gotten up to 4k per pulse….you just sort of stay on the fringes and go in when a moment presents itself, shred face, and gtfo bahahah. Side note, I played around with tempestuous aria and had a ton of fun with churning earth bombs lol….spam all shouts for might, start churning earth and lightning flash right before you cast and lol as everyone around you takes like 6-7k damage

But but but but…. Forum Eles say warhorn cannot work it PvP.

@Wolfric

You need to tweak your build, its all over the place.

Elemental Surge is not worth it with your build? Why? you only have 2 (3 including the passive) Arcane skills, two of those are on 60 second cds, Evasive Arcana will be better.

Bahahah, and they’re totally wrong
I’ve used focus, dagger and wh offhand for the condi build, warhorn is easily the best. I prefer dagger offhand for FA builds….I’ve been using S/D its so much fun!
