Guild Wars 2

I have a full set soldier P/V/T (weapons, armor, jewels) And a set runes 2xmonk 2xtraveler 2xwater (45% boom duration). Anyone have a good sugest/ideas of traist/skills for use with this set? Actualy I have 0/0/30/20/20 with AH/shouts but I wannna try other options

Honestly, get a real set for PvE. With that soldier junk, you are just a liability for any but the most incompetent dungeon groups.

All that tank gear does is improve self survival, if you want to help you’re group, running the proper utilities and powerful traits is more important. You can even go zerker if you’re up for it, if not use valkyrie or cavalier’s armor.

Unless you’re a commander, it’s not really viable to use full Soldier’s.

Good job answering the question guys

1. Take advantage of your boon duration with shouts
2. Take advantage of getting boons with hammer or GS
3. 10/5/X/30/5 is my suggestion

I think you can figure out from there where else to put remainder of points and what traits to go with.

Once again, full soldier’s should never be used in PvE.

I think the point is that he has a specific set of gear that he has to work with. If he had full zerker, he would have asked for a build based on it.

Hell, I mean even I use Soldier’s.

What I’m saying is that he shouldn’t go full Soldier’s.

It just promotes lazy play.

I suggest maybe swapping some trinket’s for Cleric’s or Knight’s?

Or use the completely theorycrafted lel build I linked :P

Full soldier’s is actually a great set to have for bosses you can’t crit.

I agree. I would assume that at this point in the game, people are at least going Knight’s armor but if he’s full Soldiers, that’s what he has to use and build with.

I think don’t explain me well sorry. I have zerker and cleric set too :P my question is about how can I use this 3rd set of pvt and boom duration (some build)? Im a little short of ideas tnks Obtena and Arthos Ravron for your suggest :P

And those bosses are how many? That’s an absolute niche and Zerker works fine on those bosses, too. It’s just not lightyears away from all the other stuff anymore.

This is close to full soldier’s and does very good dmg while also being a tank. The only thing a full zerk has over this is crit chance/dmg, but I’ll trade that for all the other benefits this build offers.

I don’t have full soldiers, but this is something similar to what I ran when I went for boon duration. Depending on if you want 15% all boons or 20% Might, you could switch some runes around, but the idea is to have multiple sources of longer lasting Might, a la GS chain #3, VoJ actives (that recharge for each trash mob death), and especially Empower, which is perma 12 stacks as long as you camp in Staff (Like running open world events to tag things and spam VoJ). GS or Hammer would be good for dungeons, as they give easy applied boons. It should also translate well enough to WvW in zerg support if you ever feel the itch to go there.

(So much vitality is useless for me, even on WvW, only ~15k is enough – use heavy cond cleaner)

In my opinion you should go first 1/2 Knight 1/2 zerker, tanky traits (something like 0/x/30/30/x). When you familiarize with average survivability you should go full zerker, with tanky traits. Then, finally change to full DPS/support traits (something like 10/30/x/x/x[sword spec] or 15/25/x/x/x[hammer spec] and so on). (We only have support/tank utilities)

I suggest this cause guards aren’t so tanky and DPS like Warriors can be, even with heavy DPS role they have a good survability.

Also if you don’t fit a DPS role, the 1/2 Knight 1/2 zerker is really good for both DPS and survability.
