Hey!

I searched many forums for a WvW Build that suits my gamestyle, but i havent found anything right now. So i decided to do one on my own. Here´s the link:

http://gw.gameplorer.de/planer/waechter/#1-06150513369382390388392-00-30060711-200609-1505-05

As Equipment i have a mix of Knight/Valkyre/Berserker for crit,dmg and surv.

This is a Build for larger groups. The playing style should look like: shielding your teammates, doing AoE with your book, shield again, then switch to melee weapon and do some dmg on the enemies frontline, shield again… (and so on)

It would be great if you can look at this build and can leave some suggestions on how to do it better, as its my first build i know that it cant be perfect.

Thx so far! Maas (I´m German, as you can see from my English… Hope you can read it :P)

A few of my thoughts.

It seems that you really want to focus on using 1 handed weapons. In WvW, our 2 handed weapons tend to perform better in large fights because they do more AOE damage instead of single target damage, so you might want to consider switching out sword/torch for greatsword or hammer.

IMO torch is our worst weapon, so I wouldn’t base a build around it. I’d definitely use sword/focus over sword/torch.

If you want to use both wall of reflection and sanctuary as utilities, you should consider going 20 points into the virtues tree to pick up master of consecrations and consecrated ground. These two traits make sanctuary much more useful, as it becomes almost instant cast, lasts 12 seconds, is ground targetable and has reduced cooldown.

Many consider it somewhat mandatory to go to 30 points in the toughness trait tree to get altruistic healing or monk’s focus. They are both very strong self healing traits that are hard to live without if you want to do a lot of tanking.

As for gear, I prefer knights armor and trinkets with ruby jewels.
