That feeling when you try to open bonus chests while watching youtube

Hi there,

well there were some situations where you could have turned things faster. From what I saw you hesitate to use Dragons Maw and your F2 (could have saved the lord and the game maybe… ) and you camp LB 95% of the time. If you do that you might as well run a second one to take benefit from some swapping effects. A GS leap with a Spin attached still does wonders. Also iirc you have never used your F1 to get people back in your trap. Placing the spinning trap and not making sure they stay in there reduces the damage of that trap quite a lot. Of course a running target is also a good defense.

I did like your movement choices overall because I think this is one of the most important things in pvp. you do not have to be a button mashing god if you make the right decisions.

my own take on the meta

I did play the meta meditrapper build and did not like it and you showcased why. you do not even need to get focused to get downed. Better opponents will seek you out immediately if you are in a groupfight.

So what I did was simple. I swapped some offense for defense. Forget GS >> I use M/F and focus mastery. If you get attacked best case sceanrio you can say thank you for 10-12 stacks of might. And strike back with force. I also ditched JI for reveal trap. getting tht one off with DM and its 20might + 20vurn in your favor.

Rune choice: you might wann check out Rune of Durability. its kittening amazing. Vitality and toughness + boons + boon duration.

To be honest i also ditched the LB and took S/S as secondary + Valor GM. And took Hunters Determination instead. this basically gives you kitten tons of blocks. and low CD defense abilities. you will find yourself with perma protection in fights. passiv condi cleanse and 18k hp+2.8k toughness while still maintaining 2k power, 50% crit, 200% crit damage.

Dropping test of faith, pulling someone in and through it just to knock him back with shield 5, blink to him and drop, three traps is glorious and still extremely strong.
plus this setup lets you secure stomps way better.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think there is any reason to take Retaliatory Subconscious (RS), if you also take Hunter’s Determination (HD) since they overlap and RS will only give a little of retaliation.

Can someone explain the benefit of going into the Valor line and getting Monk’s focus if you’re running this set-up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9v90He3J5o

I used to think the same thing, but honestly the cooldown on RS is shorter, so after a while there may not be as much overlap. It’s honestly hard to benefit from Unscathed Contender in PvP since it just takes 1 hit to remove aegis. Might as well run double aegis.

What’s the internal cooldown on Hunter’s Determination can’t find it on anything.

It activates the trap, so it would use the cooldown of the trap.

45 seconds is the base cd on HD

this.
however it only comes into play in longer or back to back fights. UC is not worth it in my build as much because I am not sniping from afar. If you run the Meditrapper meta
then I would definitely take UC too.
