The effectiveness of the build will depend a lot on whether they fix the Greatsword phantasm. I think they break it every other patch.

Anything I post is just the opinion of a very vocal minority of 1.

Looking at your build some more, do you already have this gear? If so don’t worry about this post (it’s a min/max thing)

If not you can get the same basic stats with more crit damage by swapping out the soldiers crests for exquisite ruby gems and swapping two of the rings for exotic soldiers rings. (the exotics are available for karma from the cathedral of silence. While you are there also pick up an exotic soldiers backpiece.)

Well, I am not a huge expert on WvW seeing I am at 80 for like a week and was in WvW for like 4 days so far, but I think GS and iBerserker is awesome for roaming because it cripples. So yeah the damage is sometimes off (but honestly it is still quite good overall), but that 1200 range cripple is just amazing for both catching people and running away.

I got quite a few kills just because of that really and I am sure I escaped a certain death here and there just because you can cast it while running away and it will still hit the guy chasing you and cripple him.

I really like roaming and from what I seen – mobility is pretty much a king there. You can basically win a fight or survive, just because you move faster than whatever you face.

i actually have that build. jsut miss the stats but im halfway to have em.

pve-wise it has its flaws especially when using focus for warden and your group is heavily moving. u have to check your timing and often its better to start with sword/offhand on targetassist (with generating combofield boosts) and then take distance.
really depends on situation, but u have a wide range of tools too.
u can setup full glamour, some signets and escapes or mixing it up a bit.
next thing im trying to get a pistol to have a close combat setup with mainhand/pistol + sword/focus (sword/sword is decent but cannot compete with warden tbh)
if u have the gear u checked im sure u doing some mean damage on multiple targets with berserker/warden switching in not time and this includes not even the damage u do by yourself.

pvp wise, no big use for glamourskills. escapes and movement/dodge stuff should be the better choice with any setup, but thats only theory from my side (after watching certain vids).

im still not sure about the supporthealing aspect of this build. if someone can tell sth about it i would appreciate it much.

fyi
my gear is actually on
21k hp
3k power
40% crit
30%critdmg
1k toughness
15% boonduration
some cond dmg
some healpower
so maybe i can squeeze 20% more out of my socket and trinket stuff wiht this gear.
