Guild Wars 2

for me i like to run a heavy tank / healer build to take damage over time in attrition and build up might for burst in the end . what is yours ?

A pretty basic Altruistic Healing build. I guess the major chance to the standard is that I prefer the Shield. It doesn’t do a lot of damage but can take quite a beating and helps your allies kill someone. I mostly do point-defense on my own, so this is perfect.

only point in running the offhand on a bunker is for the free stomp w/ focus. you might as well run hammer for more direct CC and damage if you want to “help allies kill someone”

I’ve tried running the Hammer, but it made me way squishier than I’m comfortable with.

Here’s been my results. I ran medi dps for about 2 months and was stuck in the 96% bracket. I began running the standard 0/1/6/6/1 bunker. (Staff & Mace/Focus) And within a week of switching I quickly climbed up to rank 87 NA. I pretty much camp mid and I rarely lose it. I can hold off 1v2 fights on point for several minutes until a DPS focused teammate joins me and wipes them.

simple and effective

The problem with AH builds is that they only work well if your tem is around. In soloq where everyone runs off and leaves you at mid by yourself you are better off going with a medi build.

I find my solo-survivability pretty decent (except when being focused by two players with a combination of either Rangers and/or Thieves). Long enough for even randoms in the solo-queue to come to my assistance. I haven’t had too many bad experiences with it. YMMV, of course.

I’ve been placing this AH celestial Hamstaff build in soloq over the past couple of days and I having quite a bit of success with it. Still very tanky, provides a good amount of CC, and the amount of might you can stack is phenomenal so it deals enough damage to kill with needing help from your teammates. I’m still on the fence between retributive armor and strength in numbers for soloq. I know for teamq it is a definite SiN but I tend to want to more selfish in soloq.

EDIT: After some more playing around I have finally settled of this
