Guild Wars 2

Hi

I was hoping for some comments on the following build which is focused on rifle and bomb kit synergies with elixirs for boons and condition removal:

Aim is for fun as well as effectiveness so it doesn’t have to be min max. I’m not sure on power shoes trait but I like + movement speed. It suits my game play.

Also, I’ve just hit 80 so any tips on armour set up would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Edit: fixed link

Is this build for PvE only?

In PvP I like stun breaker and with your build you will have problems against thiefs for example. It is also difficult without swiftness and + combat speed to place your bombs against range caster/ranger. I guess you will have probelms against every range caster and you are not able to counter stun from warrior or thief.

I do not know how this build will work in PvE.

Yep, it’s for PvE. I use P/S + elixirs in PvP.

I see that you spec’d 25 into inventions for healing power to power conversion and also the toughness to power conversion. I think it’s obvious for you to go with Cleric’s gear (Healing Power/Power/Toughness). You’re build seems solid, except if you do plan on going with Cleric’s I would drop the Firearms line entirely and invest the remaining points on Grandmaster traits; Firearms is almost useless with that low of a crit chance. Rifle works great with Power being used for damage and the regen from Elixir H would be high due to the Healing Power.

In regards to a stun breaker: If you’re a competent enough player, you won’t ever need one. Instead rely on predicting stuns and laying down a smoke bomb, or time a block to prevent it. That goes without saying that a stun breaker is still nice for emergencies

Mitigation is the ultimate form of survivability.
