Guild Wars 2

Hey all,

I’m looking to get some opinions between 3 potential raid builds. I’m looking to see which people think is best overall, even if some variants of these may be better for specific fights. There’s a couple assumptions behind these builds.

• Toughness trinkets are swapped in as needed for tank role.
• Focus is used over offhand sword and Warden’s feedback is picked up for relevant fights.
• Sigil of Concentration is on mainhand sword
• Revenant present for Naturalistic Resonance

Option 1 – Chaos/Inspiration/Chronomancer

Option 2 – Domination/Inspiration/Chronomancer

Which would you vote for?

Normally I go with Dom/Insp/Chrono for VG and Sloth, and Illu/Insp/Chrono for everything else

I like inspiration/illusion/chronomancer the best.

Domination is for personal dps but with our low base dps, it doesn’t increase that much.
Inspiration has all the best support traits, a must-have for me.
Illusion adds a bit of everything, cd reduction on shatter is nice as you can timewarp more often.
Chaos is a bit of personal defence and boon duration. But bountiful disillusionment is not that useful as you rarely shatter to get the benefit.

Heyhey,

We barely run with 1 Chrono anymore, so Inspiration is just an overkill. We go for max efficiency Dom / Illu / Chrono, and if we lack a rev Dom / Duel / Chrono.

If you are a solo Chrono I suggest Insp / Illu / Chrono for max support. You want an quickness overkill so you can make up for the lost quickness that RNG-sus devoures.

Greez!

Posting an update:

I actually ended up going with Insp/Illu/Chrono after reading the guide linked below. I’m also going to be swapping out my sigil of concentration for exotic trinkets with platinum doubloons for reasons explained in this guide.

Big thanks to Nilkemorya for this guide and congrats to their 5-person VG kill with 1+ min left on timer.

Even tough I disagree with a few point in this guide, there are many really good points the creator of the guide made (yes i read the whole thing ofc! ). The probably most important one is: Do not stick to ONE build only. Adapt to the situation, diversity is skill and skill is power.
