Guild Wars 2

Hey guys
Right now I’m loving my Thief because is the class where I can do anything in this game and enjoy it. Since I played Thief, the Healway Builds I used to use doesn’t captivate me as much because of the really low mobility and damage. So I explored some roaming builds in this forums and found some quite curious. I changed it a bit, because I will have acess to most of the items very quickly, and such thing would happen in the previous ones. Behing this said here is the build:

Based from one of this topic: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/guardian/Guide-World-Vs-World-The-Guardian-and-You/first#post3831448

My question here is if you think this will still be viable after the April 15th patch?
Also I another question. What are your thoughts about Healway with Traveler Runes? Something like this:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vUAQNAsdRlsAXgqF2C3KcFycYOE/wf4ES2jVCBTQsHYUG1RXFUIA-zUCBofJDPUQk+YRjUBAJpFRjtMsIasqZCpKbYqXROAACwNbz28mZzbezb+oH9oH9oHtjezjezjezyAwMGA-w

Yes, that build is still viable after the feature patch. Nothing fundamentally changes with it. However if you use 10/25/30/5/0 then yes, you’d see a small nerf due to the Vigorous Precision change.

As for the Healway and Traveler runes, yes they work well together. However if you plan on solo roaming with Healway I’d advise you change the gear a bit. The build relies on retaliation and burning to down people, pretty much a fight of attrition. This isn’t really the way to go if you solo roam. Good players will easily see this and either back off or find another way to kill you. With that being said, I use 0/0/10/30/30 solo roaming from time to time. However I have it so I still do decent direct damage also.

Could you give me an example? Btw I forgot but the Healway with Traveler I would use Purging Flames to keep condi removal as well as Master of Concecrations for reduced coldown and increased duration. Forgot about that because the link I gave is one that I have saved on my browser and I forgot to look at that. It would look like this http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vUAQNAsdRlsAXgqF2C3KcFyZYOE/wf4ES2DRCBTQsHYUG1RXFUIA-zUCBofJDPUQk+YRjUBAJpFRjtMsIasqZCpKbYqXROAACwNbz28mZzbezb+oH9oH9oHtjezjezjezyAwMGA-w

AFter the patch something like this might be quite good. You can take the new Force of Will for an extra 3000 health. Would do some really nice damage and be tanky at the same time.

I run 10/25/30/0/5 all the time – Just be careful cuz you are one squishy mofo.

The damage is fun, no doubt there and you can make it somewhat zerg friendly just switch over to AH and Hammer/Mace.

Healway is probably the best support roaming build we have, though your damage definitely lacks.

This is what I use when I solo roam with 0/0/10/30/30.

You still have more then enough sustain, I find around 850 healing power to be good because that’s when your dodge rolls heal for around 1k. Much better damage due to the CC and being able to take advantage of Empowering Might. Also you keep perm Vigor in fights

Now thats a build I can’t afford in any way. I would be farming months for that most likely since I “hate” farming (I do CoF usually and until April 15th I will just do PvP most likely, this is all plans for after the patch)

That’s fine I know most people wouldn’t be able to afford something like that. I’m just saying if you want to use Healway for solo roaming, just make sure you can also do a bit of damage too. Don’t rely solely on sustain. GW2 promotes more offense over defense, especially in a solo roaming environment.

I could use something like this

Pretty much close to your spec. Do you think this could work?

Rune of Speed version (I can only have Traveler if I salvage my Thief Armor, so if I try this this week will be with Runes of Speed)
