Guild Wars 2

Anyone else using this combo of traits to enable 2 fire blast finishers in one purging flames?

HA! Guanglai Kingyi made build around this exact concept: click me, I’m a link

This is one of the few support builds I would actually regard as useful. Basically, the combination of Two-Handed Mastery and Master of Consecrations allows you to do two Mighty Blows inside Purging Flames, and three inside Hallowed Ground. With boon duration runes on top of the +30% from Virtues, and using the Staff’s Empower as well, you can actually maintain an average of 25 stacks of might on your entire party.

He didn’t fill out armor and runes though. I wonder what those should be?

Its the base of a might stacking build, been around since beta but in wvw/pvp very few can actually handle the skill cap of using it and that consecrations are stationary.

Works very well in celestial builds with decent crit rating and tons of critdamage combined with sustain, if played properly its a beast.

So basically nothing new but people want it a bit more simple.

Runes and traits can differ, either you go 30 into virtues and invest less in boon duration or you just go 10 into virtues but than you need to stack might duration runes.

There are easier ways to stack might as well and having 15 stacks (24/7) on your team with no consecrations isnt that difficult. Whehn i might stack in wvw i dont use more than one consecration but its not primarily for the might even though it is a pleasant side effect.

I’ve found that if you’re going to be using a hammer anyway – 30 in honor is vital for the symbol duration extension AND the 20% cooldown trait. This means you can blast twice during purge and thrice during hallowed ground.

This gives you a base of 0/0/0/30/10 with 30 spare. 15/15/0/30/10 is a good bet. 0/0/30/30/10 isn’t actually far off in terms of dps (assuming you’re still in zerker gear) but you do lose the blind/vuln spam.

Rather take Brazil’s old build, 0/30/0/30/10, instead of that AH stuff.

Rune of the Noble is wonderful for might stacking.

The devs finally acknowledged the bug with Runes of Strength, so if that gets fixed in the next couple of months I might [sry] consider slotting them

What? That’s impossible :P

Hmm, I don’t get how to do 2 mighty blows in a purging flames. Purging flames lasts 6 seconds when traited and Mighty Blow has a 4 second cooldown when traited.

It’s difficult if not impossible to do if your latency is too high. The animation time causes the total time between Mighty Blows to be closer to 5-6 seconds, such that even an upgraded Purging Flames doesn’t last long enough more often than not to actually support two blasts. It’s all luck.

Hallowed Ground on the other hand can absolutely pull of two fire blasts. But Purging Flames is fiddly at best.
