Hello fellow guardians,
I am Dezuel, I’ve been playing guardian as main since beta and always liked the class. Even if I’d seldom written on the forum, I’ve been following many threads made here. Now I decided to make my first.
Since Arena Net did the changes to the skilltrees, I’ve done abit of testing and found a rather neat build that I wanted to share with you, it can still be tweaked and have a few things swapped for it (Runes, weapons, traits.. etc), but the main idea is to use Hammer 2 and Torch 4 for damage bursts.
I did notice that Valkyrie amulet had been changed aswell, now giving power, vitality and ferocity. How can one make up for the loss in critical chance? Sigil of Intelligence and a few other ways, fury helps a lil bit. Grabbing the sigil of air for secondary sigils works well too.
So allow me to introduce my VVR Valkyrie build
On heavy armor dummy, it deals like 6k damage with hammer skill 2, then 3k for the two following autoattacks, then possibly also triggering sigil of air…
So dealing nearly 14k damage right there, then swap for scepter+torch for 5800’ish damage + 1800+1800 (Oh and another sigil of air trigger for 1800)
So get possibly around 11k on second weaponset. However! You’ll have to actually manage to land the attacks too. The best part about this build is that it has 20k HP aswell, making it tougher than many zerker builds due to its extra health. Even if toughness isn’t the highest, but can swap amulets and stuff for that and get from trait.
It won’t crit as often after the sigil of intelligence runs out, but 4% + 20% from fury and a few other things get the percentage up abit.
Ps. Nevermind the nightcore music and the strafing to the left in the video ^^
