Guild Wars 2

Before a lot of you chant “ZERKER” (Typical answer to me via map chat) . . . I don’t enjoy being glass. I’m looking to be a solid average between toughness, crit, and power without being so weak that I manage nothing. I’m also hoping I can get away from bottom tier HP but… that’s probably not going to change. xD

My first notion was Zerker accessories and weapon + Knight’s armor. But I’m rather new to Guild Wars 2 so my thoughts could be completely far fetched from what’s a good idea.

At the moment I’m running Medi-guard with GS / Scepter – Focus. Really enjoying it though I do like me some sword / torch too.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! <3

Edit:

I found two builds on “Into the Mist” I found interesting if anyone would wish to give their input on them. Thanks!

Hi

Depends what it is you are doing in WvW. Ingeneral going only zerk + knights gear is very very bad, because you will have an ultra low health pool.

the build you posted looks good for roaming and small stuff, but you’ll get absolutely destroyed when going vs organized larger groups, also, from a group perspective it does very little to support your allies compared with other available builds, which is your primary function in group play.

if you run with an organized group they will call you out on that and you’ll be ditched or need to switch up. Be warned.

For WvW Roaming/Small Scarle Groupfights:
Gear: 5x Knight +1 Sentinel
Accessories: Berserker
Weapons: Valkyre

With these (exotic) gears you’ll reach:
Power: > 2000
Armor: 2500
HP Pool: 14.000
Crit chance: ~40 %
Crit damage: ~190%

That’s far enough to survive hard-engage thiefs or condi bombs. As meditation guard you’ll reach your 60% critchance because of the Fury

If you are roaming then medi build with mostly zerker splashed with knights or soldiers if you feel too squishy. GS + Sword/Focus.

If you are zerging then standard AH build (Shouts with Hammer or GS + staff) or Rabid/dire full condition build. (Sceptor/Torch + GS or Staff)

You could sort of roam with the condition build as well but the aoe burning is best for zerg fights.

Ah thanks for that info. I usually run with 2 others and haven’t experienced group play quite yet. I do enjoy running a shout build as well at times but haven’t seen the benefits when with my group. >.> Buggers always run from my buffs. xD

Thanks to everyone else for the tips! Gunna look into Soldier’s gear. Been working on zerker accessories. I am really enthused that I can do a medium of both. I am horrible at running a glass cannon. I like to box a bit and be able to stay in as long as I can. Prefer the heat be on myself over my group and they get the kills.
