Guild Wars 2

Hey guys,

Since there is no sticky about WvW build and going through topics doesn’t seem to help me/answer my questions:

My stats are as follows:

Greatsword——————————Scepter/Sword + Focus
Attack__________2,85k—————————2,75k
Crit chance______50%——————————50%
Armor__________3,2k——————————3k
Health__________17k——————————15k
Crit dmg________50%——————————60%
Traits – 0/15/30/20/5

Anyhow, I’d like to make a burst build for WvW ( solo/small groups ) with GS and sword/focus with judge’s intervention.

Do you think those stats are enough or maybe I should change something? What traits would you recommend?
I thought about taking some points from valor and maybe get 10 in zeal for Fiery Wrath but -100 vitality would hurt 2 much at this point(?).

Tried some soloing and in general I think I’ve won more than 70% of my duels however yesterday after a quite long fight with warrior I died – and that kinda made me aggro lol.

Any help is appreciated

You need more power and crit damage to have a respectable burst.

Aim at 2k power and 95% crit damage, unbuffed. Crit chance dont improve bursts, just the probability for it to happen.

The build i use for bursting in wvw is:
0/30/30/5/5
hammer and scepter/sword+focus combined with judges intervention gives you a 1200 ranged instant +10k burst. Its very possible to almost oneshot a berserker guard and my personal recod is about 14k burst, on a target that isnt debuffed, with this one. And its instant and from 1200 range, unlike ww its almost impossible to avoid.

Long bow rangers, thiefs and dps eles are very likely one shots.

I use pvt as main armor, i add in valk chest and legs, divinity runes (scholar would be even better for burst) and berserker amulet, back and accessories. In rings i have ber/valk and ofc berserker weapons with energy sigils. Could be swapped for +5% damage sigils.

Traits are vulnerbility on blinds, 5% extra damage from sword, right hand strength. Im valor i have meditation mastery, strength in numbers and monks focus.

Utilities are smite conditions, bane signet (Stand your ground) and judges intervention.

I use sharpening stone and truffle steak as buffs.

Unbuffed without bane signet i have :
2046 power
49% crit chance
2740 armor in combat
14555 health
104% crit damage
10% extra damage on opponents with conditions.

With buffs and bane signet:
2461 power
52% crit

Have fun!
