Specifically in sPvP.

Apparently metabattle isn’t being updated very often anymore and i’m trying to use some meta builds to start to get my bearings again.

Thanks

Meditrapper and DH Burn. If you’re going to solo q DH Burn will be a better friend in most cases.

Website will explain this one.

DH Burn: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vVAQRAse7dnkICVDhlDBeDB8DhlGiKb+uv97aYXgAQu5L+nH-TZhAQB87EAMmyAb8IAAgHCAM2fAA

Since I don’t like what metabattle has for Burn DH here’s my version. Basically a team fight oriented build in which you abuse your blocks to full charge your justice passive. Great self sustain, fury and retal uptime, and very good at res denial.

Can easily win 1v1s against most classes.

Downside to it is that you’re easily chain stunned once your two breaks are gone.

Here’s a video of someone playing, but with Viper’s instead of Carrion.

Meditrapper and Symbolic builds seem to be the main meta builds. Meditrapper seems to be more burst damage, Symbolic is more bunker.

I’ve been running Saiyan’s zeal symbolic build for a little while and I like it a lot. Slightly less tanky and team support but more damage, especially with teammates.

I guess Meta is ok for PvE. But it is complete crap for WvW. I suggest you look as base guard builds. Way more effective in WvW. But who knows exactly what will change in PoF. For now I would not make any expensive changes as they might get nerfed hard in PoF.

symbolic is useless imo you are just a kittenty tank

medi is ok till platinum, after that you just get outsustained/outroamed
