Guild Wars 2

Was looking for a viable solo build for straits of devastation. Since new sea of sorrows came out it’s been hard to do events semi solo or with just another person. I can take 2-3 mobs at once but if a veteran comes im toast. Running with GS and Hammer (for knock backs) Is there a build out there to solo any of this without dying every 10-15 mins?

Thanks!

I use staff to gain might before the battle and sword/mace with a torch.

I use the mace if I fight harder opponents from which I need blocks. If it’s easier mobs, I just use the sword for the teleport.

It probably takes longer to kill than with the GS or hammer, but I can survive “almost” any situations.

Also, I’m built around burning with additional dmg on burning foes. I always trigger Virtue of courage before each new mob as it recharges on kill (Virtue traits). It also applies blind and vulnerability. Quite helpful actually

I think the virtue you are referring to is Virtue of Justice, and to get it to recharge on kills you need to trait it on the Radiance line.

solo-ing Orr territory, eh? ; )) fun challenging stuff. i run the, perhaps the now all-too-common, altruistic healing build. i run a hammer and staff usually. staff for quick traveling, as well as might stacks which i put on before every big fight if i can, or mid fight if i need a quick heal. then i switch ready to smashing with the hammer again. hammer mainly cause i been using it since day 1 (GS-ed for a while and in specific situations now) and for the self como trigger (more boons = more healing = survive!)

if you dodge right, mitigation as well as heals, use your boons / shouts you should be able to take on vets even with adds around them.
