Guild Wars 2

I am 30 points into zeal 30 points into radiance with all the right things picked to assist condition damage and great sword damage.

finally i go 10 into honor for 20% faster shout recharge…

i load my skill bar up with signet of resolve.. retreat.. save yourself hold the line and renewed focus.

gear wise i build heavy into power with vitality and condition damage close second. i try to keep all gear having these three attributes..

this build works great for me and allows me to tank or kite off a ton of cool-downs with nearly constant ways to keep an aegis up.. all the while im burning and keeping damage high. with great group bonuses and my own personal group cleanse\dps buff.. top it off with an elite skill that gives you 3 more seconds of immunity and another dps heal and aegis cool-down.. its utility to the max… and those shouts are nearly always up with that 20% cool-down reduction

While i am very happy with this build i have, i am still looking to improve. so if anyone has any ideas or tips or suggestions lemme know.

I have a crit build and is using shouts for support.

0/10/30/30/0 but the crit chance is only 36% but it works fine for me. Still, planning to use 0/20/20/30 instead while running crit build and lose the Altruistic Heal.

Ditch Zeal entirely. It sucks and gives you nothing good. Going 0/10/30/30/0 like knives said is ideal for Greatsword/Shout builds. Pure of Voice, Altruistic Healing and Two Handed Mastery far outclass the +5% GS damage and heal-on-hit Zeal provides. Even if you don’t build crit with your gear, this setup can give you around 30% crit chance with nearly 40% crit damage. This is if you grab that “convert 5% of toughness to precision” trait.

Wow. All of the respondents starts with “K”.

lol

On topic:

Yes, the “convert 5% of toughness to precision” is absolutely necessary. I have 36% crit chance (My Sigil of Accuracy is NOT working. It doesn’t add Crit Chance, anyone experiencing this? I attached it on AC GS btw), but is working to find a way to up it atleast 40%. HP would like be 17k-ish, which is on-par I believe.
