Hey guys, right now I am running this and am looking to get out of it:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fEAQJAoYhMmkbwx5wjDAkHucCLiCPUekzM2A-jEyAYrASQAoPgJ/ioxW1KiGrqOp6aMlrgMA-w

So I was playing with the editor and came up with something like this:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fEQQJAoYhMmkbwx5wjDAkHuYCLiCPUekzM2A-j0DBYfAYLgEEA0HgZnJNBNiJpBrMMIVXRr8KsabYqYER1WzDRzgG2iGVGA9xA-w

I know there will be changes in next months patch… should I wait before I make any changes? I guess I can just make exotics for now but don’t want to burn my commendations and find out I have to refarm them again.

I really wanted to up my toughness for the zerg-surfing. I also came across a thief that downed me in 1.5 seconds flat when I wasn’t expecting/ready for it ><

Any opinions/feedback are greatly appreciated. I don’t really want to change the traits and lose my playstyle though.

It’s a pretty good build. You’ll be stacking might to 25 easily and you’ll have perma fury and swiftness. Since your toughness is pretty high and you invested dat much in boon duration, think about trading your evasive arcana for 10 points in toughness, using the trait that gives protection each time you have an aura. That way it wont decrease that much your boon duration and you’ll have perma protection as well. Think about it =D

I would definitely wait for the next big patch. They will be changing the way runes work so you won’t be able to mix and match them. Nice build though

Be careful what you wish for, Anet might just give it to you “HoT”

Your build has too little toughness, like you said thieves down you too quickly.
Too much crit dmg, it’s going to get nerfed soon.
I would suggest this: http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fEAQJAoYhMmkbwx5gjDAkHm4CLiCPUeMTO2A-jEEBYgAYjgkIgUBAJfCiZPKrlhRs6KZlXBVbDT5CV7CWFTIyIGzaeI1G0QyAoPGA-w

Thanks for the feedback guys. I did some research on the dev stream for the upcoming patch and saw that changes on the runes, looks like I’m going to have to wait to see what’s going to be available to me. I’d hate to lose the boon duration option.

Regardless, I’m just going to keep on collecting the cooldown ascended mats for the time being and wait for the patch before I start working on anything.

Also, you say crit dmg is going to get nerfed, but I dont the nerf is going to be enough for me to drop it even more. I honestly welcome that change because to me i see it as a buff against taking burst damage.

Also… I’ll try out putting the 10 in earth with the boon duration, that actually looks very appealing.

Thanks again, I guess all I can do now is wait

I’m running this:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fEAQJAoYhMmkbwx5wjDAkHuADLiCPUekzM2A-jEDBofAYjgkIAUBgZnFRjtCqIasqaQ6aYaXJVFLwWzDa1gOxCBIYMA-w
(increase 30 on toug because of infusions on ascended armor)

- Crit Damage: Less Crit. Damage (57%) I know, but with the Crikitten erf on next month, I think this is enough for me. With more power, I could sacrifice the critical damage.

- Runes: I like the Hoelbrak for more Might, Might duration and -cond duration on me. But boon duration is nice too, but ANET said that in the next patch use 6 runes of the same type will be more beneficial than different runes. So, I recommend to wait for changes on runes before invest much gold on this.

- Sigils: change your sigils, Sigil of Battle is amazing for elem and with Renewing Stamina trait, I dont think that Sigil of Energy is necessary.

This is my opinion of course. Sorry about my english and I hope it helps.
