Guild Wars 2

I am only level 31 at the moment, but I want to start working on perfecting a good PvE build. Everything that I have tried so far have been either just bad or incomplete. I also want to know if there is a widely accepted best build too. Thanks ahead of time.

Yeah… at your level you might be able to do a static discharge build?
To tell the truth, most of our builds don’t open up until level 60 because the devs balanced this class around its grandmaster traits.

What are some of the level 60 and higher builds?

I run this, it’s a support build though.

I run rabid gear with cleric trinkets and 6 runes of altruism for party wide fury and might. You can pretty much trigger on heal runes whenever the cooldown is up with the med-kit. Grenades are for vulnerability stacking and conditions, while bombs are for when things get close and you need a little more control. Elixir R is always good because of it’s toolbelt.

EDIT: Copy and paste the link

The best DPS spec is generally considered to be one using grenades. Once you hit 60 and can access the grenadier perk your throwing several grenades per second that all inflicts damage and vulnerability.

The only drawback is the carpal tunnel you develop.

grenades grenades and more grenades

condi build, direct build, doesnt matter. always grenades. break your keyboard, break your finger, be a better dps’er.

elixir r for support. sucky people wont bring you down with them, and good people get up while you dps.

last utility kinda free/situational. toolkit for the pull sometimes, eg for super elixir sometimes, C or S for condi removal sometimes, ft in ta for flowers, bombs for… no bombs are melee so theyre op damage but youll kill yourself to use them, B or U or rifle turret or whatever when you dont need those other useful things and just want to dps more.

traits… well 30 for grenade grandmaster is the only thing that matters.

theres a simple build static discharge build+ grenade barrage

i recommend static discharge build if lvl 40 or under probably put some points in Explosives for the burn on crit and some on Firearms for crit and condition damage

Turrets worked great for me until lvls 40-50 ish (AKA when you start getting into 1 vs 15+ mobs fights
