Guild Wars 2

Hipster mes strikes again!

Uses PvP build setup as baseline, replace Mender’s for Minstrel in PvE / WvW

What I was aiming with this build was to be healing others using mantra skills often while providing support benefits such as stun breaks, stab, condi cleansing, and raw healing. This build also fits to provide slow on interrupts, and blind enemies too.

I tried Chaos and I felt it wasn’t fit for this type of build. Dueling provides an extra mantra charge so you have extra support. The sustain of Dueling is nearly the same as Chaos for this build since you won’t be running Signet of Insp. It’s a support-burst build meaning you walk in and blast away your mantra charges / blinds / slows repeat. You have fairly low protection uptime due to no Chaotic Dampening which is why I chose Rune of Earth to try to close that gap.

For PvE: No quickness generation, very low alacrity generation, and just enough healing to make it difficult for druids to keep GOTL up. Please never ever use this.

For PvP: I can’t see this performing well at all. You can’t provide boon support, the only thing you bring is some unimpressive healing that requires you to stand around charging mantras. You’ll be the first target to get killed because you have zero defense while doing this, and you don’t really have any offensive utility to speak of either. Not good.

For WvW: If you try to roam on this it’s going to be rather unimpressive due to the lack of offense. If you’re just a random chrono in a zerg…sure, run what you want. If you’re trying to get a comped group to accept this build…good luck.
