Hi, I am wondering if anyone is using a scrapper build in wvw small scale and roaming that doesn’t involve using kits? Preferably a power build would be great.

That’s one variation of what I use, I’ve been undecided on Tools or Inventions, both are good. Also Elixir B is good in larger group, I’d probably swap for Toolkit in smaller but you said no kits. I also drop Mortar in for large scale, but Sneak is easily best in smaller stuff. Some other variations to play with as well, but that’s the gist of it.

I call this one the Loser Bruiser (:

With Fury and when your target is Bleeding, you have 94% critical chance. Although somewhat low Ferocity does not benefit from this, you still have quite high Power/Might stacking potential, so the purpose is not entirely lost.

The Speed runes give a nice boost to Vitality as well as complimenting Invigorating Speed. This will mean nearly perma-Vigor and Swiftness.

Juggernaut makes up for your lack of blocks and stunbreaks by allowing you to stack Stability. Working Flamethrower in to your rotation will prevent CC’s. However, since you’ve asked for kitless, it also works to swap Juggernaut for Incendiary Powder for extra damage and Flamethrower for Elixir B. Toss Elixir B is a fine replacement for the stability granted by Juggernaut and more boons to boot!

Lots of boon duration to stack those delicious boons and lots of sources to produce them. Moderate Toughness, Vitality and condition removal to endure a beating as well.

Over all, it’s certainly not perfect but it has been serving me well. It’s not so squishy that it can be surprise bursted by a Thief and it’s not so tanky that it hits like a wet noodle. It sustains itself well and many of the traits/runes/general stats synergize with each other nicely.

If you decide to use it, change things around as you see fit. What works for me may not work for you.
