Guild Wars 2

So I’ve been running standard 0/0/30/30/10 (or 0/0/6/6/2) build for ages now.
While it works great against thieves, warriors and anything else that uses melee weapons, fighting necros/thieves/engineers (condition spammers) is nightmare.
I pop my shout, remove a condition, and the moment after that 3 more conditions appear. And then they just ran around, dodging, evading, and evern though most of them are glass, my guard just can’t catch up with them, the one CC skill on GS just isn’t enough.

And so I’ve been looking for a new build.
Here’s an Idea I had – http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vUAQBVSDkWhWLE/dwPUEB2DMmxOC-zkwAZvioxWZLiGLA-w .

Big nerf with ferocity and hydromancy sigils tho

Perhaps there’s something more tankier?

0/0/30/20/20 take the virtue of resolve buff, it will remove 3 conditions, with renewed focus, that’s 6 extra conidition removal, run gs/sword focus, take greatsword mastery thing to lessen attacks by 20% and aegis heal on removal, for last tree we’ll as said resolve trait and retaliation when stunned, being working great for me, sorry I’m not at my computer ATM and can’t remember the names, feel free to /w in game tho when I’m on :P, builds been working great for me in duels with a mix of zerker and soldier, again sorry I couldn’t be more specific at the moment :P

I also run runes of the wurm now, for the extra vitality and damage, I would go exuberance, if it went for the fact I can’t afford them

Shouts are a losing struggle alone save for the bunker 0/0/2/6/6 sword/gs (2 gap closers); they are meant to support as a group— alone, they are literally 1/5 as effective. Once they go on cooldown, you lose. But that seems to fit what you want the most.

I would suggest Scepter + Focus and Mace +torch. This gives you more reach, as well as strong blocks on either set. This is the only build of which I’ve found it relatively painless to defeat ranged classes or warriors (it’s too difficult to break through their high healing/health/armor otherwise it seems). Also, even with 2 gap closers they would still run away. Scepter is also very handy against a necro despite the fact that most hits will miss because it outranges their own main ways of killing you (their own scepter, Death Shroud).

You could obviously put more soldier/knight as needed until it reaches a point where you feel comfortable. Life is low but mildly acceptable with guard stacks. Also, the ferocity nerf goes both ways too. Roaming is just a side activity for me, and thus I went for the cheapo speed runes instead of the expensive traveler ones.

I went with purity because conditions can be hard to clear off at times. . I’m using exotic armor/weapons /w ascended trinkets as a “standard”.

Also, the site doesn’t take in account Right Handed Strength, so it’s 15% higher than displayed.
