Guild Wars 2

Hello folks!

I just returned to the game after being gone since right before HoT came out and was hoping one of you might be able to help me recreate the build I was using in WvW. This was a hybrid build that used the GS + Scepter/Torch but I can’t remember if I had PU or not. Also, I used all zerker armor and condi trinkets. The idea was that I had just enough toughness and condition damage to really mess with people while the raw zerker damage would finish them off. I used this build for ages and loved it because almost nobody else expected it.

Any suggestions about what it might have been?

Thanks!

Generally speaking, from what I’ve seen, most people play a variation of one of two builds:

(1) Interrupt based power shatter utilizing Dom/Chrono+1 or (2) Staff Condi (most often using Perplexity runes)

From what I understand, PU/Torch is less popular after the nerfs. Additionally, most builds usually take inspiration over chaos for survivability/condi cleanse and stacking both inspiration and chaos while possible, does reduce your damage output compared to other builds. While you definitely could run torch, shield is ridiculously good.

The build you described could probably work using inspir/chrono + illusions or dueling. Perhaps something like this?

Thanks for the reply! I’ll go check that build out. I also used to use a sigil on my weapons that every time I did a swap, it caused blindness. It just really ticked off melee classes.

Build i made recently, viper wepons/armor + rampager trinkets with runes of your choice (i use perplexity but still experimenting with it). Some people might wonder why rampager….. so i can keep my crit chance at 50%+ otherwise power becomes irrelevant. So far the build works really good. I went with full ascended gear so i can squeeze out all the stats. I use gs/sword/shield.

Overall i traded ferocity stat + 200 power for 2000 condi dmg and some condi duration.
The downside is u need illusion and domination so u can keep both the condies and the power burst from shatters leaving u with no slot for inspiration unless u dont mind losing some extra dps/utility. In my mind dueling tree is not needed anymore if u run chrono, the vigor is not so important since u probably run sigil of energy and the deceptive evasion is an overkill. Chaos is for kitten anyway Kappa.
