Hello,

I’m kinda new to this game and I wanted to make my own build. So what do you guyz think about it : http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fUEQJARSlUgqCnFyIEfIFRuAbBYPwI8741jESRGC-j0CBoNBigAi+AI7pIasVWFRjVvAT5aR1aYAWzBygWp2lALKoMC-w

Most of the time I’m running with an pug commander (zerging) or running in small groups. Was trying to build tanky dps + little bit support to my group.So how can I improve my build? and I’m open for different (tanky dps + little bit support to my group)builds

Pretty standard stuff but most people (myself included) are extremely negatively biased toward the Valor line these days. It offers very little utility to your party/zerg except for Strength in Numbers, which is ultimately a pretty missable trait itself.

Just to give you an idea of what you can do without Valor:

30 Virtues instead would give you Absolute Resolution, turning Virtue of Resolve into a massively powerful 1200 range condition cleanse, as well as Indomitable Courage which gives Stability to Virtue of Courage. This legs you guarantee a stomp on an enemy as long as you don’t die. Both of these are very powerful, but even just ten points in Virtues gives you Master of Consecrations which turns Purging Flames into a 28 second cooldown condition cleansing monster. Between Absolute Resolution and Purging Flames, you don’t even need Pure of Voice anymore. It becomes totally outclassed. Not to mention another excellent consecration – Wall of Reflection, which is outstanding in zerg fights and smaller scale fights as well.

15 in Radiance turns Virtue of Justice into a spammable blind-machine, which is also excellent in helping mitigate damage in zergs. You’d still have points left over for Virtues for utility there as well.

Having an extra 10 points to put into Zeal is also quite helpful for Fiery wrath, an excellent damage booster. But not only that, it lets you swap out for Protector’s Impact on the fly while running from point to point with your zerg to mitigate fall damage.

So yeah, forget Valor. There’s way better stuff to be had.

That said, your stats are fine for WvW. No real improvements needed there.
