I want to start WvWing but I’m not really into following the zerg. The following build is what I’ve come up with for a condition-based small group roamer. The gear is just what I’ve slapped together based on what I’ve got already. I felt Celestial gear with Travelers gave me the most open build possibilities for WvW, allowing me to try new things without having to completely re-gear.

Obviously, it’s design is to rip away at an enemy with bombs and pistols and prybar, whilst using EG and TK to stay alive. Thoughts? Advice? Ideas? Give it up?

Best advice I can give you is to stack might with your fire bomb whenever possible. Due to the natural lack of condi damage and power from Celestial, those are your main low points with that spec.

Don’t blast heal turret just double tap and then pick up.

Might also recommend rifle for your spec. Gives you some nice cc, and it also gives you a way to have good sustained ranged damage, and jump shot gives you a way to proc Fire Aura (More might + burn on hit), stealth with smoke bomb (which you can already do with your blast finishers), and a heal with it through one of your water fields.
