Guild Wars 2

I want people’s opinions on this Altruistic Healing variant.

Traits: 0/0/30/30/10
Valor: Retributive Armor/Purity/Altruistic Healing
Honor: Superior Aria/Empowering Might/Pure of Voice
Virtues: Retaliatory Subconscious

Utilities:
Shelter
Save Yourselves
Stand Your Ground
Hold The Line
Renewed Focus

Armor: Knight (Power/Precision/Toughness)
Runes: Superior Rune of the Pack
1) +25 Power
2) +20% Swiftness Duration
3) +50 Power
4) 5% chance to grant fury, might and swiftness to nearby allies when you are struck
5) +90 Power
6) +100 Precision

Jewelry: Valkyrie (Power/Vitality/Critical Damage)

Weapons:
Greatsword: (Power/Precision/Critical Damage)
Sigil: Superior Sigil of Perception (Gain +10 Precision each time you kill a foe)

Scepter: (Power/Precision/Critical Damage)
Sigil: Superior Sigil of Strength (30% chance on critical to gain might)
Focus : (Power/Precision/Critical Damage)
Sigil Superior Sigil of Blood (30% chance on critical to steal health)

Food
Omnomberry Ghosts (66% chance on critical to steal health)
Master Maintenance Oil (Gain precision equal to 6% of your toughness,
Gain precision equal to 4% of your vitality)

Me and a guildmate often run two of these in dungeons and find we can sit at +80% critical chance for the duration of a fight thanks to essentially constant fury. Thanks to our sigils and food we also have amazing longevity while still dealing substantial damage.

That’s kinda what I run but I run two handed mastery over pure of voice. I run two pieces of Pres/vit/healing with Sigil of str on my greatsword. I also run Rune of Altruism. Same food and oil to.
Edit : I also recently took 5 points out of Virtues for 5 points into Radiance for the Justice is Blind.
But really this build is kinda cookie cutter.

Interesting, I may test out putting 5 points in radiance by removing 5 from virtues. It should be useful when my friend and I charge into mobs of skelk in AC. I did run a full Cleric’s set originally but the damage output was far too low. However, with the base 300 healing power from traits I nearly noticed the difference when I swapped to Knight’s gear. With the Valkyrie jewelry I sit at approx. 17500 hp.

Another cookie cutter 0/0/30/30/10 build. How innovative. Can’t we get a sticky thread for this kind of thing? “AH and EM are the best traits ever builds”

Whether or not the build is cookie cutter is irrelevant. What is important is how effective it is and how it can be improved.

I use the same 0/0/30/30/10 build but I don’t pigeonholing into the same major traits and utilities (ie. never or barely changing them between pulls). The beauty of this build is the ability to swap around weapons, traits, and utilities into a totally different role. The flexibility offered in 30 points in Honor and 10 in Virtue is too strong to give up.

Also, if it’s a dungeon build. 10 in Virtue is a given due to the fact that one of the traits improves our most powerful utility, Wall of Reflection.

Edit: 0/0/30/30/10 does not have a definite weapons/traits/utilities set up. If you do, you’re limiting yourself.
