Guild Wars 2

Alright, so these are two of my build ideas. They just cover the basics, no gear customization yet. At the moment i am doing mostly PvE, with a, soon to be, focus on Dungeons. I would also like to focus more on taking hits, and/or supporting allies.

So. basically I’ve been using the hammer build, and it working well. but ive always liked the idea of using a shield, and i love the mace and scepter’s skills. The problem seams to be that if you are not using a Greatsword, or at the very least a two handed weapon, your going to have a bad time. The mace build is my sorry attempt at making the mace a viable option.

I would love to be able to use a board in a functional class, so some input would be nice.

i personally feel with the mace build, you don’t have to build as offensie. you can make up the difference in “DPS” using gear and trinkets, as well as runes.

i have a mace / shield setup (though it wasn’t built around the mace and board) and i feel with the mace, having 30 in honor can help a lot with the symbol traits. and if you’re going deep in valor, i’d prefer to pick up the shield trait as opposed to the 5% dmg increase on the mace. you can always throw in a sigil of force if you need. or stuff with more utility. the beauty of playing a MH + OH set. : ))

i actually play the hammer with my mace/shield and you’ll be abel to offer a lot of control, area denial, knockbacks and support through heals and blocks and protection and symbols in dungeons.
