Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone,

Recently returned from a half year hiatus and want to know the viability of this playstyle in PVE, WVW, sPVP and how it fares.

Gear is a mix of Valkyrie and Zerk
Sword focus/ GS

0% viable? You’ll blow up.

If you play it like a thief, rush in, kill, rush out (tricky part is rushing out with all these cc spam), it can work in wvw. Yet it is dangerous and less rewarding then other builds I might say. And this is only for small scale roaming.

Sadly game is having small problems with balance issues. But that is nothing new for you I guess

Ah well, with the expansion of any MMO, these things happen v.v

Guess Dragonhunter is the way to go then, or go back to being a Teef. Thanks for answering

^ Your gear is viable. Just replace one of your weapons with a longbow, make room for the DH traitline and will work. Some notes:

• For central Tyria PvE (not fractals), meditrapper works well. The power creep is real and most of regular monsters will die in a couple of hits and you can nuke with traps mosts of the content.

• For Maguuma PvE condition (not raids) builds works better tha power builds; most of the enemies are HP sacks but can be melted with fire.

• In PvP DH is one of the three worst classes (albeit better than the old ones), but still viable in not high tier competitive gameplay due the high burst and moderate sustain.

• In WvW raids most of guardians keep the old support role, but pew pew lb DH can be used in the focus party. In roaming, you need DH, and still, you must be aware that if the enemy player is good and uses Scrapper, Tempest, Herald, Druid or Chronomancer you will have 0 chances of win. The only “meta” class that you could be able to defeat on equal terms is the Reaper. And of course you will have chances against non-meta (Berserker, Daredevil and other DH).
