Guild Wars 2

I’m pretty okay at sPvP, but as my Guardian approaches 80, I want to try out WvW. I’m a complete newbie at it. Could someone possibly help me with a Hammer/Med build for solo or small group roaming?

I’d really appreciate it. I found things approaching what this would look like, but never exactly. Are there any Theory Wars 2 pros out there who can help me out?

I find that the standart 10/5/30/5/20 works wonders in WvW. As for gear that’s well based on what you value, Generally you’ll want to use the 2k power line as your bar, anything less than that -> you ain’t doing enough damage, more is better. Fury gives you 20% crit chance and you’ll want to burst as hard as possible while you have it up. For me personally the 30-35% crit chance marker works best as past that point I feel like I sacrifice too much sustain and that leaves me with very little room for error. Armor is tricky, I’d say over 2600 and bellow 2900 would be the average you can get without sacrificing too much damage. Crit damage… well I run 85-95% but that’s me desperately peeling double thief off my ele partner, I know people do just fine with 65-75%. Zerker/PvT/Valk mix works wonders. Past that I dare not impose my own gear choices on you.

is going to help you min/max it all without you actually buying the gear and doing trial and error runs.

Also I strongly recommend traveler/speed runes (the first one being the better option but also the more expensive one).

Easy, full berserker/valkyire with speed runes to compensate for low health and increased speed.

10/25/30/5/0 and 0/30/30/5/5. Personally i prefer the latter, its basically the same build which are used in tpvp as the guardian burst build. The main reason i prefer the latter is that the uptime on burning is just to low to benefit from fiery wrath in zeal. The damage modifier in radiance is much more reliable when going solo or small party roaming. The benefit from fiery wrath when soling with a mediation build is close to none.

Smite conditions, judges intervention and stand your ground as utility.

I find scepter and focus to be supreme as secondary weapon in a solo/roaming build and also adds dps and burst..

Its about killing as fast as humanly possible in solo builds.

I agree that 10/5/30/5/20 is the most balanced med build. I enjoy running hammer and scepter/focus with Binding Jeopardy. Some people probably wonder why I’d pick Binding Jeopardy over Fiery Wrath. Fiery Wrath only applies to you, however if you use Binding Jeopardy this is a dps boost for your whole group.

Also if you combo Chains of Light with Zealot’s Embrace that’s 13 stacks of vulnerability which is higher then the 10% boost from Fiery Wrath.
