Do you switch to retret when not in combat?

Epic skills. Mind passing a build? I can see you have decent amount of healing power since your dodge roll heals over 1k.

Well, breaking down the video I can see that he has a 72 sec cooldown on Virtue of Courage, which means he has 25 points in virtues (at 30 points the cooldown would be about 69 seconds).
Also he has a 28 second cooldown on Hold the line so he must have shout reduction.

His binding blades was on a 24 second cooldown so he also has faster 2h weapons.

His blind did not cause vulnerability, but his virtue of justice did cause blind, so he has points into radiance.

He also recieved regen, protection, and aegis for reviving his downed warrior buddy, and the warrior recieved those as well so he has protective reviver. Also I think he has all rune’s of mercy because it looked like he revives others quick.

On using virtue of resolve he removed three conditions so we know he has absolute resolution.

His dodge roll healed for 1064, which is around 935 healing power and his HP is around 18015.

So we know he is somewhere around a
0/5/0/30/25
Two hand mastery
Superior Aria
Protective Reviver
Absolute Resolution
With 10 points to spare somewhere, but most likely in radiance and or valor? Maybe in Zeal for 10% to burning.

935 Healing power
18015 Health
(Probably less base, since food and utility buffs are on)
So he must be sporting vitality/healing power gear as secondary stats, and a primary of probably power or toughness mix. Boon duration is another probable in his gear mix. He does not crit too much when fury is not active, so possible 5-10% crit chance.

For weapons he for sure has at energy and on kill stack healing power sigil as his roll heals went up as he got more kills.

I do when my partner don’t have any swiftness in group to give.But when i’m solo, i just put staff and switch back to greatsword when spot someone.

Thanks man. I’m still working on build, i keep changing it, but when i find the balance, be sure i’ll post it here.

Just to let you know, you creepy me out with this stuff. LOL

Lol cmf ^^ Looks like -condi duration food and dolyak runes here too.

Bearing in mind this builds looks tailored to be roaming with the Warrior. Stack on the healing for constant stream from virtue, food and/or runes + dodge heal warrior can help with burst heals and provide the might and fury to be able to deal lethal damage while in the heal-centric build.

Nice build that I’m gonna give a go, anyway.

Hah, what can I say I do my research. Unfortunately I study the game more than I play it lately. Trying to find that magic formula and become amazing.

Lol – epic reply there Lynnie at the end to CMF.

CMF – nice research. I’m one of those who really don’t study the game that much and play more. Probably doesn’t help me in the long run but then again it is how I escape reality.

On the note of speed and movement. I too run with Staff while roaming. In fact, more often than not it is Staff, Shield, and then Scepter. Situational awareness is key here so you can swap as noted above. There are, though, times when you get picked off in route and you hope for the best

heh, great analysis and “problem solving”, CMF. great stuff and i’m slowly learning or wanting to do that too lol. one small thing, VoC is 90s CD iirc? so 72 would be a 20% reduction, i.e. 20 points in Virtues. (i only watched the video on my mobile, so couldn’t see the detailed numbers, so forgive me if i missed something :PP)

i run with a staff as well, and make sure it’s in an easily accesible area of my inv so i can switch fast. : ))) though nicely, depending on build, staff isn’t a bad weapon to have.. though when going around solo, i would too caution oen to be more aware and take 360 looks while running lol, just in case.

anyways, back to OP, great video!!!! you help up SUPER strong in that 1vX. very exciting fights and good utilization of your skills. that bit where you ressed your ally, right before he got stomped, then proceeded to take him down. oh mann.

looking forward to seeing more videos of yours!

Hmm, good call on the virtue cooldown reduction. I was using
http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/
as my reference, so it seems the calculations on that are wrong. 20% of 90 is indeed 72, so that means we freed up another 5 points in his traits.

I’m sure he doesn’t have 15 points in radiance because his virtue of justice doesn’t recharge after downing a target. His symbols don’t cause vulnerability so not 15 points into zeal.

He also got some retaliation after a mesmer did a temporal curtain pull/knockdown so he must have retaliatory subconscious.

It is hard to time when Virtue of courage is refreshing aegis or if it was due to being 50% of life and valorous defense proced an aegis, but I can’t see any other trait line effects happening. So the remaining points are seemingly passive stat bonuses.

I did notice that in a few cuts of the video he stopped providing boons on revive, so I’m sure he changes it up depending on what he needs at the time.

So maybe 0/10/10/30/20 or 0/5/15/30/20

ahh, gotcha. i just cross checked wiki as well (not ingame now) so if that’s correct, then we indeed do have 5 more points to play with!

lol, this is fun and again, more great stuff CMF. gonna have another watch during lunch to see if i can pick up more stuff.

Odd, just went in game and I can confirm that with 25 points into virtues you get a 71s cooldown on virtue of courage. So with 25 points you actually get a 20% reduction instead of 25?!?

woah weird.. and VoC is 90s CD untraited, yes? i’ve never really checked in-game just assumed it worked the same as on paper, or according to tooltips. though we know many tooltips are misniformed.. but still.

What armor/trinkets were you using? I’m stuck between staying AH with Knights (0/10/30/30/0) or going healway with Clerics/PVT (0/0/10/30/30).
