Guild Wars 2

Hi, I am a big fan of Reborn Reality’s PvE build, I especially love sword/pistol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CluYGa5VFA&list=PLaq7u8o0nK8-RMHCXkMP7QeWAlrR5YFYg&index=1 but that was made Sept 27 2012. I know Phantasmal haste (I forget what it used to be called) got moved to Illusions 20 skill. So is this build still viable? What should change to make it so?

I just took a quick glance at the trait page and skill bar; didn’t watch the whole video.

Seems reasonable; I would just move the 5 points from Illusions into Inspiration and pick up the glamor skills cooldown trait since he has Null Field and Feedback slotted.

Phantasmal Haste hasn’t moved, you were thinking about Illusionist’s Celerity which moved from 5 to 25.

Also, I couldn’t click your link, had to copy and paste it to get it to load for some reason.

I looked at the trait and skillbar without checking the entire vid so maybe there’s some incredible insightful reasons for those choices that I missed…

But if there’s not (and there likely isn’t) then please don’t do it to yourself.. Here’s why:

• He has on-clone-death (Dom V / Chaos V) traits with no Deceptive Evasion (our best clone production).

• Signet of Domination, a condition signet, in a power build… And this was BEFORE the stun buff. That signet may as well be swapped out, any of the other ones would be better.

• 5 in Illusions is outdated and will do no good.. may as well throw it into Inspiration to get Glamour cooldowns.

If you’d like to use a similar spec, go with 10/30/20/10/0 instead. Make sure you grab Deceptive Evasion (Dueling X) instead of Retaliatory Shield (which.. is also useless here. The only block you have is the occasional Aegis from Chaos Storm) and Glamour cooldowns (Inspiration II).

Also.. please swap that signet out. If you’re gonna keep a signet, take Signet of Inspiration. If not .. well just about anything is a better choice.

Thanks for your replies! Can you guys recommend a good Sword/Pistol crit and phantasm build for PvE?

You’d think my thread didn’t even exist.

Sigh.

Look at the thread in my signature for a good overview of effective PvE weapons and builds.

Fixed that one for you colesy.
