Guild Wars 2

I only know of one and that’s Mishva’s commander build. Any other good ones?

Full cleric bomb/TK/Thumper with elixir infused bombs
Knight+Zerker bomb/EG/Mines

Flamethrower might be worth a shot against pugs but against motherblobbs or organized guild-groups, retal kills you.

How well does elixir infused bombs scale with healing power though? :/

Also, flamethrower should be called the flamefarmer. Soooo many bags. I’ve been against weaker servers for the last two weeks and this is what I’ve run: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fdAQFAUlUUpWrVXxdLseNydBNymkFQOhAI6D2ifA-T1BDABJqEUQdAVp8DgHAAnq/Uz+DCcBAIFwFjBA-w

Been having some pretty decent success with this

If you find the retaliation is killing you, you can always take 2 out of inventions and put in explosives . Then switch flamethrower for Bomb kit and increase blast radius. Pretty good damage and decent surviveability either way

I highly recommend to switch to cleric.
You even can keep everything as is, but condis in a melee-train do not work, due to the fast cleans, and even if not cleaned, your burn will be overwritten by eles, necros will overwrite your poison and mesmers your confusion.
all useful that is left is immob, cripple and blind, and none of these need condi-power.
with clerics you maintain your healing power and toughness but give your nicely-with-power-scaling bomb AA the umpf that your zerg needs.

You can try mine. Front line every day died only like 10 times in past 6 months:-)

Pretty hard to die for the most part. Sometimes I’ll ditch the points in tools and go for bomb cooldown or something. Saffron bread when I feel cheap. I prefer elixir gun since fumigate is a good group cleanse and that brief poison screws with enemy healing, and acid bomb is a blast finisher that does ok damage and gets me out of trouble. And of course the stunbreak toolbelt skill. You can also heal yourself with the super elixir but note the light field.

Thanks for posting this, I’ve been looking for a thread like this lately, having found the one class I sucked with the most initially is now my favorite WvW class. I’ve been considering frontlining vs mid-lining and was wondering if it would be better to go PvT or go Celestial.

Gonna take me a while to get this gear setup though, full Soldier with Melandru.

I’ve posted this beforea few times, but here is a build i have been using since EOTM came out, whenever i want to do zerg fights.

With the build i’m perfectly satisfied with my survival, my benefit to the party/zerg, and my dps. You cant have them all but you want the best you can get. Anyway, i dont read other people’s builds because i like making my own although i doubt im the only one who uses this type of build. Even after all the updates from almost a year ago i havent found and better frontline builds for me, then again its your playstyle in the end, as for me when i make my builds its always, how much i can survive and how many bags i can get through tagging and killing enemies, thats how i define a legit build, obviously not meant for gvgs.
