roaming build
0/15/30/20/5 (0/5/30/30/5 works too)
Rune of Lyssa or Scholar / Zerker gear / Beryl Jewels.
I am running 0/30/30/5/5
Running both Perfect Inscriptions and the Valor trait to remove Conditions. Combined with -40% duration food you take ALOT less damage and are under the effects of Conditions a lot less. Basically, its the Conditions that are often killing you and stopping you from being effective a lot of the time. This build does great damage and is very survivable. Has lots of tools to stay within mele range.
Other trait Signet -20%, Vulnerability on Blind, -20% Mediations, -20% on Shouts.
Gear
Knights Helm and Gloves, Beserker Chest and Legs, PVT Shoulders and Boots
Emerald and Beryl Jewellery
Beserker Hammer and GS
Hydromancy Sigils
Over 16k health, 63 Crit Damage, ~50% crit, 2900 Attack and Armor
Class abilities
JI and Smite Condition of course
Swap in and out: Retreat, SY, SYG, Wall of Reflection
Food
-40% condition duration +70 Vitality
Maintenance Oil of course
I also run the
0/15/30/20/5 build and like it a lot. But I am amazed at the amount that Conditions are wrecking me in WvW.
