Guild Wars 2

Hey Forums, I’m looking to try out a new tPvP build for tournaments. Does anyone have any decent builds I could try? Really appreciate it!

I lack the knowledge of any Bunker builds that would be something I’d compare to what an Ele or Guardian is capable of. There are certainly viable ones, but nothing I personally think is really that competitive in comparison. However, I do know of two builds that I at least personally think are effective in today’s metagame. They are most certainly viable, and if not actually competitive are very close to it.

100 Nades – http://www.intothemists.com/calc/?build=-V70;0B-sPVg0l6cQFx0;9;4TJ;0J46A38;535-L;2N0-Ewk2Ewk25BK

All about bursting your opponent with the Grenade Kit’s Kit Refinement and Grenade Barrage. You either Immobilize with Rifle 2 or pull them to you with Tool Kit 5. Then you stand inside, and swap to the Grenade Kit while dropping the Barrage. Contrary to what most would say too, you are pretty effective outside this combination as well and Elixir S gives you the ability to finish off your opponents or fight with the Grenade Kit while invulnerable. Very evasive with constant Swiftness and the Tool Kit. Effective as a direct damage burst roamer in tPvP. Works very well with other forms of control from allies.

Condition Overload – http://www.intothemists.com/calc/?build=-VRR;0B-Z-Vg0c-FQFx0;9;4T9-T-21A0;319A;1SN1;0o0-hoHAhoHA1Fv

This build is all about vomiting every kind of condition there is on an opponent. You have gratuitous amounts of Bleed, Burn, Confusion, and Poison. Not to mention a pile of control conditions. Chill and Poison are one of the keys to killing any Bunker build, and alongside all of the condition damage you have the other key in doing so. Especially since with the sheer amount of conditions applied they will be hard pressed to even get rid of them without complete condition wipes. Long durations of Cripple and Chill make anything that is melee-only, very easy to kite. Especially of note is the sheer number of Blinds you have access to, often making you extremely difficult to take down. +50% condition duration and extremely high condition damage (especially with some extra Might thrown in) means a poorly played Bunker build will die in under ten seconds, and a good one as long as you can hit them will drop in under twenty. Very difficult to play since it lacks a stun-break, but it is even better then a Necro at killing a Bunker build. Effective as an anti-bunker build roamer in tPvP. A thing to note, is a Necro with Epidemic makes this particularly deadly.

Traits are pretty customizable in Condition Overload. Protection Injection and 20% cooldown reduction traits are pretty feasible.
