Okay, since I’ve seen what they’ve done with the current celestial builds. I decided to ditch that stuff and go with this: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vdAQJAqelUUh2tYjXwALQ7FLGGVYAcf7lY6ECD4X4NenHA-TJBFABxs/g4lBa4EAAwDAAA

I abuse the mechanic of elite proc on lyssa runes.. You’ll see once you click it. And I have a bit of sync with the rest of the build in it.

(Basically Boon Engineer… Just weirder.)

That’s one of the weirdest build I’ve ever seen. Why would you pick pistol with a Marauder amulet? It’s a condi weapon!

Apart from that, I really wanted to play a Lyssa build since the Mortar was reworked. The only problem I have with it is that I don’t really get to choose when the condis are removed: there is no icon to tell you that the rune ICD is over (unlike Kinetic Battery for example), so since you’re always swapping to your mortar, you often waste your rune when you do don’t really need it.

Sorry, but this is the worst build i have ever seen!
lets talk about the issues:
- Marauder amulet with p/s
- Pistol without using firearms traitline
- Elixirs without using HGH. Iron blooded is very poor choice
- Mecha legs is much more better than soothing detonation
- Explosives traitline without using nades or bombs
- Glasscanon in spvp
- Lyssa runes + elixir C
All in all idk what your build should do? You have condi weapon with power amulet. Elixiers without HGH, and a mix of moderate CC with heavy condi cleanse.

Okay, to all of the feedback.
I know pistol is a condition weapon. I use shield because of it. To make it up somewhat. Since it has finishers (Projectile and Blast.) And gives protection each time used. Also Lyssa runes give an extra boon when I use my healing turret. And the mortar kit with lyssa runes takes a bit of timing. I’ve still been working on the timing to match cooldowns of my other things. Also the Iron Blooded trait works with Lyssa runes because of boons. And protection is a boon, plus all the others you can get up to at least 40-50% damage reduction all the time. And Poison Volley on the pistol makes it so healing is a bit harder for the foe(s) to do(Plus it does up to 4k). Blinds make it so I don’t get hit as much. And same with the blocks on shield.

Also, my build is based on landing combos for healing up, and doing damage at the same time. Glass Cannon trait is more useful then the other two due to the fact I don’t have nades.

Exactly what is the purpose of your build? What is the use case?

Also, where is your damage?

Ok, I see, you want to use pistol shied. In that case, wouldn’t you be served better by a rabid amulet? Think about it: you could spec into Firearms instead of Explosives (you don’t use grenades, nor bombs, nor turrets), and take IP, which would combo well with the added precision from your rune. EG is also great with a rabid amulet.

Ok for the Iron Blooded trait. But don’t you think Lyssa rune AND Elixir C is a bit of an overkill? You could use another elixir instead (Elixir B gives a lot of boons, plus stability), and maybe a Flamethrower? Or a Tool Kit? Right now, I don’t know how you’re supposed to deal damage.

Oh and for the love of the Eternal Alchemy, drop the ram!
