Guild Wars 2

After talking on another thread not too long ago discussing why this build is very efficient in tpvp, I want to use it to it’s full potential. I’ve been practicing and have gotten better at doing the burst, but still need a little assistance in things such as positioning. I have a thing where I’ll get the enemy down very low (such as a hambow), but can’t get in that last strike and then they just pummel me with stuns.

I was curious to see if I could find an exceptional double ranged shatter player that could maybe show me some tricks in game and tips on how to play it much better. All help is appreciated

I could help you out sometime.

Are you on right now? I just got off work and just got on haha

this is a good guide, but if you need additional help please feel free to message me. Ive been using gs/staff since beta and i feel this is a really strong build, that is also fun to use
you could try swaping for the mantra for stability if you know your coming across a hambow war. But thats situational

Im still having trouble with the build, especially with sustain and key bindings.

For sustain chaos armor is your lifeline have it up as much as you possibly can. I tend to use signet of ether because you’ll always have illusions up so you’ll be getting 1.5k heals every few seconds, and it has a little higher cooldown than ether feast. For key bindings , that depends on your preference , I myself like having the shatters in the F keys because I tried having them else where and kept hitting them on accident causing my combo to dissolve. I would suggest rebidding to zxcv because they’re right underneath your movement keys .
Another note of sustain, I sometimes swap out a trait in illusions to have my fourth shatter reflect (in wvw/pvp) it helps usually since every players has some form of range they use.
