Guild Wars 2

Now I know sword shield is bad cause shield cuts dps but I care more about looks instead of being the best ever

I would prefer just using a sword no off hand (or one so tiny it’s hard to notice) but I doubt that’s possible so my second choice is sword shield so does anyone have a build that is good enough to do the majority of PVE and maybe some EotM?

Get Bloodseeker. It’s a small red crystal focus that makes it look like you’re holding virtually nothing in your offhand.

And you’ll be running focus instead of shield with it, which is a massive plus.

Please just don’t run shield.

Don’t suppose I can turn off the particle effeces on it? I’ll definitely look at it though thanks for the suggestion

Take whatever build normally does Sword/Focus and swap the Focus for the Shield. The Shield isn’t worth changing your build around and the build will largely play the same, albeit less effective.

Yup, you gonna lose a bit of dps because of skill 4 and 5 of focus, but its not a big deal. Use shield 5 as much as possible to give protection to your team, which is not a bad idea. Otherwise use the exact same build as GS + Sw/F.
