Guild Wars 2

As the title say , these are the 2 types of builds i feel more viable in pvp and i prefer to play more.
They are 2 families of build really strong.
Which of the 2 family builds you feel more effective ?
When you use a celestial rifle build or when going condi rabid ?
I usually prefer condi rabid (with p/p) but i feel that celestial rilfe based builds, condi p/s or p/p , are quite strong in every way . Perhaps i prefer celestial rifle against mesmers or ele or dps team …condi rabid builds against bunkers team what are your opinions ?

I love to play p/p rabid but the problem with this is, that some classes are more or less immune to condis (ranger with x/x/6/6/x, ele with good condi removal, condi necro) and you have a hard time killing them.

It is easier to kill an ele with cele/rifle than with p/x.
Condi necro eats you soul if you play p/p rabid, with rifle cele with sigil of intelligence you have a chance.

You have a very strong damage chain to support your team in team fights and to finish people (knockback, throw wench, Net shot, nades, jump shot). The CC is very good.

On the other hand. The condi pressure with p/p is insane, you have a better chance to kill a thief with condis and a mesmer. If you run nades/toolkit/EG with doom sigil you can kill a bunker guard by yourself in short time. You will never kill him with cele rifle build. But bunker guards are not really a main target.

At the moment cele rifle > p/p.

but cele rifle has lower armour .. i die much faster … but perhaps i should use it more

To be honest I play in solo Q cele p/p.

The cele amu gives you more healing and you have much more life. Your substain is much better as with rabid because life is better vs condis and this is our weakness.

If you play it correctly it will not be a big difference between your lower armour with more life or more armour with lower life.

infact i think it is only a question of getting used to it. I saw backpack video on youtube explaining correct rifle rotations … they are not more complex than pistols pistols . The only thing i really really miss is pistol 3

Less toughness, but more vitality and healing. The survival is overall more solid on Cele when you factor in you can actually peel for yourself.
