Best build for Dungeons?
There are a ton of viable builds for dungeons and wvwvw. What do you like to do? What do you like about the class? I personally run a condition bunker build. cond/precision/toughness gear. It works great. Main hand is a staff, sword focus off. In wvw i can basically win any 1v1, and have plenty of utility in group fights (throwing people off of castle walls is the best thing since sliced bread). In dungeons, I just rack up the conditions, and the melees always appreciate perma might/fury. Somewhere on the front page you will probably see the shatter cat guide, that’s a great glass cannon shatter oriented build. Phantasms are kinda bugged right now, and by kinda I mean very, so I’d hold off on running a phantasm build until they fix it. If you really like supporting you can try a mantra heal build, that can pump out a ton of healing. Glamour builds are great for wvw, although not really dungeons since they are so confusion centric.
Sounds like a cool build,Tharinock.COuld you give me a link to it?
Sure. I generally play the same way, mostly dungeons/fractals with the occasional run in wvw: http://www.gw2build.com/builds/simulator.php#1.8.7.3.14.18.21.21.0.21.180.186.198.184.204.0.0.29.0.0.0.545.550.0.559.565.560.0.0.0.588.592.0.0.20.30.0.20. My gear is not complete yet, I have not decided on what jewelry I want thinking of maybe going carrion just to get a bit of vitality and power, but the rest of the gear I have. I use a set of Rabid armor/weapon (cond, precision, toughness). Utilities are generally set up that way, but can vary greatly. WvW and some pve situations have me swapping feedback for signet of illusions, and decoy for mirror images. In general the goal is to always have 3 staff clones out and attacking (unelss you need boon removal from sword clone or projectile reflect from warden). Any time where you can replace the three clones quickly, use a shatter. However, having 3 clones always up inflicting conditions is more important in this build than spamming shatters, so don’t shatter unless you can immediately replace the clones or they/their target are about to die anyway.
