Guild Wars 2

my build is full berserker traveler, gs(air,fire)+scepter/focus(energy,doom)
burst medi guardian for solo camp and roaming
i tried couple of traits like 2,1,6,1,4 and 0,6,6,1,1 but for my build im using 2,4,6,1,1 but 2,5,6,0,1 is also good for burst dps with the sacrifice of vigor. my question is which is more valuable to get? honor for vigor or radiance for 10% damage to conditioned foes?

Well it depends.

With 2/1/6/1/4 you are looking at a balanced build, it has sustain and good damage.
With 2/5/6/0/1 you are going for full blown damage, so its either kill or get killed.
IMO, that dmg modifier is going to help you more than the vigor (In your specific build). Inspiried virtue is basically a must-have in any pvp/wvw guardian build and therefore I would go 2/5/6/0/1.

I recommend going 2/1/6/1/4 or 0/1/6/1/6 though because the condition removal and stability are more often than not gonna save you in outnumbered situations.

Oh and, I wouldn’t ask Reddit, most players there are PVE only, judging by the numerous polls.

Is this strictly for clearing camps? If you’re not going absolute resolution, you might as well leave virtues entirely.

If you just are trying to run around camps you may be able to pass on the vigor on crit but if you run into any other roamers then you will probably lose. GS is useful for its mobility but its damage is difficult to land if the opponent is half decent.

yes its more on running camps but when i fight i mostly win, ofcourse i lose sometimes vs good good engi or warrior

im using an assassin like playstyle, so i can win outnumbered fights if i can kill the others fast enough to make it a 1v1 after.

i think ill get the damage although vigor is gonna help me on longer or outnumbered fights, but its to kill or be killed anyways

plus i wont be getting that vigor when the trait change comes i might as well get myself used to it

0/3/6/1/4 is my go to nowadays. Absolute resolution is very hard to pass by and Renewed Justice is a must for clearing camps fast.

As far as weapons go I pretty much value sword way more over scepter because it saved me a lot of times against for ex ranger LB burst and as for second wep swap, if i’m with a buddy ill def take hammer, if i’m solo ill probably get GS or Scepter torch depends.

P.S. Loosing Fiery wrath is worth it imo, I just get good food/stones and the burst is still strong with UC and Glacial Heart/Fury

I use a 62600 carrion build for solo roaming camps. It’s more efficient than other zerker solo builds, imo.

Hammer/JI combo let’s you intercept and lock down your target via the ring or the immobilize thuss letting your friend catch up and help beat on your target lol. Make sure before you port in that your opponent is not aware of what you are trying to do, because wasting a ring and a port pretty much sucks.

Also as for secondary weapon set I choose sword/focus. You have your 3 blocks and blind on focus, and projectile destroy and port on your sword. Very versatile weapon combo that works wonders with hammer, especially if you trap them in the ring and land a few auto chains with sword then it’s GG.

The problem with sword was that although it has very strong auto attack you couldn’t keep your target locked enough to land your hits. Now this pretty much solved it for me, inb4 MB.

In my opinion, you either go all the way into radiance for RHS, or put a single point for the blind. Also, the vigor > virtue boons.
