Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, not trying to whip out a ruler and measure our Trueshots …

But out of curiosity, what are the highest Trueshots you’ve pulled off in PvP thus far?

Against Svanir with my build, without help 14.5k.

With some non-opimal buffing from a druid, 17.5k. This is Berserker Scholar crits with Force and Crit Chance sigil. Druid was providing the additional 15% damage buff and 10% damage buff, but forgot to get out the Frost Spirit and I was not at 25 might, foe was only at 20 Vuln.

Highest I recall in match against a player was 14k.

What’s your survivability like?

What’s your survivability like?

Since it’s a Stronghold-centric build, quite well actually. My biggest issues are Warriors/Engineers who load up on invulnerability, but barring those match ups I win about 70% or more of my engagements, primarily due to surprise factor.

It relies heavily on kiting skills, reactive defenses of F3 and Shelter, as well as using the terrain to my advantage.

Pulling people into traps who have escaped them or who attempt to dance outside their range is always satisfying. I’ve been running with staff in secondary to further pre-buff might for anticipatory engages and for swiftness for mobility, and sometimes a well placed Line Warding will save the day for escapes after F2. It will improve a LOT once some bugs are fixed, such as 800 range and full heal on F2 when traited. Also if they allow the Virtue active traits to work AT the start rather than FINSIH of Virtues, this will greatly improve this build’s ability to react.

All in all, its been one of my most successful and enjoyable play styles to date with my full trapper build (sans heal since it still under-preforms). I set up on defense at Treb, trap up after hopefully getting their first, then treb down anyone rushing the guards, kill archers with treb if needed, or kill the door breakers. Traps nicely cover the lead in, and if foes teleport to me with a shadow step I F2 and F1 on to traps that I laid at the entrence to pull them in if need be.

It has issues if 2 or 3 people rush the point and I’m alone, but what damage build wouldnt really. (ohwait Chrono ..)

6,8k vs Elementalist and 2,2k vs Revenant with full glass cannon build on Guardian.Unload on my Thief make more DMG, same kill shot on Warrior.

That is impossible? How are you hitting so low if you are full glass cannon?

Im running scholar runes, berserker stats, virties and zeal with damage bonuses from having aegis, them burning, them tethered with F1, and bonus damage if they are in a symbol, as well as mught and vuln from traps.

Have you never had the awesome situation where you layer all your offensive boosts together for a huge spike?

Also, unload and killshot both have much stronger tells and in unloads case requires a build up and longer stationary cast and longer recharge. Not to mention warriors dont have as many damage applification traits as we do. Unload is also short range and easier to dodge or interupt

6.8 on an ele sounds right, but he probably cherry picked a Revenant situation where it had loaded up on -damage effects.

In PvP, I capped at 9.7 vs a Thief, couldn’t tell you the build. I myself using a Marauder’s Amulet with Dragonhunter runes. As far as might stacking and other buffs are concerned, I dont remember enough to give an accurate retelling.

I am proud of a True Shot I pulled off against a champion in PvE though. I know it’s not the point of the thread, but just wanna show what this skill is really capable of doing.

That is a nice one! My guess is during a stun phase with break bar down and max might/vuln?

Anywhere from 8k to 14k under proper conditions ( solo )

I’m using dragonhunter runes with zerker stats.

I’m going to need a few people to help me test for a highest possible hit, maybe I’ll try to get a warrior, ranger, and revenant to buff me and see how it goes.

Definitely going to need Scholar Runes, 25 might, 25 vuln, and Druid’s 15% damage buff, 10% damage buff from rune, and get lucky on a frost spirit proc, as well as Revenant’s Ferocity buff and warrior’s banners.

I think that about covers it? Stacking all our damage mods for sure as well, so burning foe and crippled foe in our symbol with Aegis up. This surely will breach 30k I’d imagine. More so on “weakened” foes whose breakbar was depleted

8kish. I also rune Sigil of air for that extra 1k

I am not glass cannon, running Marauder and Ogre Runes… But I regularly crit from 7.5k-12k. I’m very satisfied with that, for this build.
