Guild Wars 2

Now that we have stats scaling and healing turret there will be quite the handful of builds to try out.

First I came up with:

-Perma regen via healing turret, full set of dwayna runes, as you’ll be wearing a full healing set an elixir gun with kit refinement to compliment everything, all that should grant a 200/300 hps per tick plus the EG light field (which heals too)… so a huge 600-800hp per second without putting much effort, AND giving HUGE support.

-Thanks to stats scaling elixir gun’s finally viable as a condition+utility weapon, it can effectively keep 7/9 stacks of bleeds with the usual 2/2/2 runes (afflicted, centaur and krait’s) simply autoattacking.

-Again thanks to stats scaling a condition-grenade build is now viable and will do better damage, perhaps you’ll hafta choose for a power+cond or cond+prec, it can apply effectively AoE bleeds up to 6/8 stacks (still kinda depends on procs/luck though).

So… what new builds did you guys come up with? I didn’t feel to list FT ‘coz its rectangular AoE doesn’t exactly make a build by itself unless some guy comes up with an amazing combo-field based build (which isn’t likely I guess).

Since turrets can now transfer conditions, I came up with a grenade build (power/precision/crit dmg) Which not only does decent damage (600~800 per grenade for 1, and ~1000 for 2# and 4# !) but also my net turret helps out quite alot at keeping targets standing still since I specc’d 10 points in firearms to get the 5 second cripple for my immobilizations, which grants me another few secs before I have to drop a big ’ol bomb or throw freeze grenades.

Also, my big ol’ bomb hits for 6k with heavy golems grin

Interesting what gear do you have Byzantine? Since we have stats from weapons on kits I want to try out a dual Giver’s pistol grenade build, 50% duration without runes! Elixer gun seems to have been given a buff, the auto attack hits for just under my rifle hip shot, and gives conditions.

I’m talking about sPVP here, didn’t test it in WvWvW yet, but my armor is full with Eagle’s runes and my rifle has a sigil of earth in it.

I can hit with the rifle on heavy golems for about 1,4k damage.
