an FT build you can WvW and PvE in
If I were to focus on a FT build, my main goal would be Might stacking.
So, in other words, Speedy Kits is not great, because you want to stay in FT most of the time. Since you are going heavy in Alchemy, going for HGH is a must. With Juggernaut and HGH, you can get a hell lot of Might stacks. Just use FT kit and 2 other elixirs (I recommend B and R or S), together with Elixir H, and all the toss elixirs from your toolbelt.
I don’t know how usefull it is to go the Tools tree in the Traits, but hey, your call. I’d probably go to Explosives for the Incendiary Powder (V), but maybe you can make better use of Static Discharge if you get up and close with your FT and spam your toss elixirs on the ground next to your enemy. Get Might stacks and discharge bolts of lightning in their face. But I’d suggest you test it first in the Mists.
Last but not least, runes! I’d focus on runes that increase Might duration. You can go 2 Runes of Hoelbrak, 2 Runes of Strenght and 2 Runes of Fire. That’ll give you +60% Might duration. With HGH and Juggernaut, if you spam all your elixirs, you’ll get some really good Might stacks.
Try it out in the Mists for seeing how many stacks you can get and test it in some golems to see how much of a difference that makes.
Hope it helps!
Not just that but grab the might/chill chance on crit food, which has no internal CD.
If you hit 3 people with all 10 attacks of FT, that’s 30 hits in 2 seconds. With a 33% crit chance, you get a probability that 10 of those will crit in 2 seconds. Of that 4 of them could proc might/chill.
4 stacks of might (5 seconds though it is) every 2 seconds in addition to any other might-stacking traits/skills you have already.
. . . IF you have 3 guys you’re attacking with all 10 attacks of the FT.
Loudmouth, lousy PvPer, and mediocre PvEer.
I don’t own, I just play
Thanks for the replies. It was just something I was considering. I do enjoy the flamethrower but was finding it a bit lack luster. Interesting points you made thanks Has me thinking of a dfferent type of build.
