Anyone have a good build that utilizes the focus? For WvW preferably.
X/Focus build recommendations
Not a lot of good Focus builds out there TBH although some claim to love running it. I think it just doesn’t look as good on paper as D/D or S/D nothing really jumps out. That being said I ran the below build with my 5 man group for a week and did well.
The idea is basically the same kitten D except you aren’t opening with RTL and Updraft. I opened with air 1 and popped 2 and 3 mid cast once the blind dropped I hit Gale, switched to fire dropped DT and Phoenix depending on my timing also Signet of Earth. Then into water to drop comet and freezing gust and then back to air to finish them off. The problem with S/F is earth is really not that strong offensively and I found I was only using it for defense, it took the place of water in the normal D/D rotation something that I used when I needed to re-position.
Overall I found it worked really well when we had a strong peeler like a guardian or necro but it doesn’t have the ability to deal with melee’s that are good at keeping in melee range. As the flip side since I wasn’t zooming around with RTL I was targeted much less and I could stay on the move and pre-kite when I thought bad things were heading my way in addition when the whole group needed to re-position I could drop enough projectile defense that we could stay mobile and heal up on the move.
I still think D/D is stronger but I defiantly like S/F over S/D.
