Guild Wars 2

Ok I like using the Greatsword as far as off hands are concerned I am kind of torn between several because they are all situational it feels like. Depending on what I am doing to include the staff.

So I am not really sure how I should be gearing to get the most out of my GS usually if I use offhand items it’s going to be scepter or sword combined with either pistol or focus occasionally s/s when solo. Should I decide to use the staff it’s for the AOE buff/debuff and being able to bubble myself so I use it defensively and swap back to GS soon as I can.

Also as far as spec goes I am running 20/25/0/0/25 currently. Not sure if that’s optimal for a GS but it feels decent I have tried mixing and matching all sorts of things.

Any help would be appreciated Thanks from a level 80 noob lol!

wow 90+ views and nobody had a single helping answer. =(

If you went 20/20/0/0/30 you could get Illusionary Persona which not only lets you become the 4th shatter (3 clones + you), but it now allows you to use your Shatter abilities without any clones up at all which is useful for using Shatter 3 or 4 for defensive use.

So for stats I am not entirely sure what to go for atm I am thinking armor with Power Vitality and Toughness with Trinkets and upgrade slots with Precision and Crit Damage /Power.

I started 20/20/0/0/30 with Greatsword but have since switched (mostly) to 10/30/0/0/30 Staff+Sword+Pistol.

I run all exotic Berserker armour with Superior Runes of Air.
I use Sigil of Energy on Staff, Sigil of Fire on Pistol and Sigil of Force on Sword.

I am still upgrading my Jewelery but I think I will go all Berserker Jewelery but throw in some toughness/vitality orbs as Berserker is a glass-canon build and is very squishy.

For dungeons, I do switch up my traits a bit to be less squishy, selecting some supporting traits in Toughness and/or Vitality.
