I’m pretty noobish when it comes to WvW. Wondering if the above build would work well. Guess it’d work for zergs as well as small groups but definitely not solo roaming.

Still not 100% confident with bombs in a non-PvE environment. The fuse delay makes it hard for me to feel like I’m connecting with my attacks.

Advice?

I was thinking something similar, running Settler’s gear with AED, the Bomb Kit, the Tool Kit, and Elixir S.

Can’t say it’s necessarily an effective roaming build, but I think it’d work decently in zergs.

I like it, could switch mines to rocket boots for more mobility, and bombs to nades for peppering walls and back lines, very flexible. Remember that the bomb fuse can somewhat work for you if your in stealth, laying down a BoB and getting out of there before it goes off.

Anywho, this is the build I’ve been working on lately for WvW zerging:

I know its all ascended, but I’m trying to figure out what set of armor to get once I save up enough Damask.

Advice?

With only Cleansing Burst to deal with conditions in what is essentially a melee build, you’ll have to run in a tightly organised group or you’ll die a million horrible deaths.

It’s not even so much about the damage conditions. All the cripples, immobilizes, chills, etc. flying around in a larger scale battle will leave you exposed to the melee burst and further CC of the two most populous classes in WvW though and let’s just say you don’t want that to happen, ever.

If you don’t have some pocket Guards and Warriors, the build needs a better way or more ways to deal with that kind of conditions. And when I say need I mean need, or it won’t work. Linc’s link with the minus condition duration traits, food and runes is a good place to start and as a bonus most of it works on damaging conditions as well.
