Hi All,

I’m looking for a build that provides good all around performance.

Something with decent armor, healing, and damage.

What are thoughts on this?

Please note that armor drops to 2633 when a kit is equipped.

  • Your sigils (Battle / Strength) share a cooldown. Remove the on crit sigil (your crit chance is low anyway) and pick one with a permanent or on kill effect. The wiki page has a nice list of Sigils
  • Infused Precision will not reliably trigger swiftness @ only 37% crit chance unless you are attacking 10+ enemies with grenade spam. This might work in WvW but in PvE your Vigor uptime will be better with Speedy Kits even after the nerf.
  • Toxic Oil is really expesive for that small effect and is only worth using to reach 100% condi duration. Pizza / Koi Cake will give you more condi duration for a lot less.

I have tweaked your build a little bit:
