Guild Wars 2

Yoyo,

I’ve decided I want a FT build next to my supporty one. Whaddya think of the one below?

I’m not sure about the gear: sure berserker will make my damage good, but I quite squishy. What’s your experience with this and do you perhaps use different gear? Cheerio!

Unless you plan to exclusively PvE, I’d not use berserker stats.

Great utilities though.

Zerker FT makes thieves everywhere cry, since a smart user can ignore their stealth, and you deal crazier damage than them. However, it is rather squishy, so unless you can ensure that you get to close on your enemy and take them out first, or that your allies can distract the enemy, it’s sub-par. It honestly comes down to your team/party composition.

Instead of Cleansing Elixir 409, take Deadly Mixture. 15% more damage on a damage-based build is pretty awesome. You will be weak against condis, but in return you’ll have burst damage out the wazoo.

I tried out a zerker FT build in sPvP for a bit, and it feels like you do less straight-up damage than a 100b warrior, but your damage:
1) Is in AoE.
2) Is not nearly as dependant on a cooldown.
3) Is longer ranged.
4) Comes with slightly more survivability than a 100b zerker warrior. Which still isn’t much, but its something.

if you want ft and zerker, try the ft-sd combo. there is a thread somewhere, good build.

Someone suggested that a FT build should use Knight instead of Berserker. Less squishy and all the juicy Deeps. Just a thought. I’m still looking at Celestial, but I’m not sure the lower values play, even though the balance is nice and survivability is there.

My engi loves the 0-30-0-30-10 FT/EG build

…works very well with knights, some soldiers, ruby orbs

But retaliation will destroy you.
