Guild Wars 2

Hi guys.

I’m making my first build but I’m not sure what equipment to use.

The base is this: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fgEQRAsa7cl4zyoHVTmGg9IBqHXX7fnkCTD7SK4duB-j0ABYNDimmOQ1MFRjFA-w

The idea is to basically shatter continuously and interrupt with either SW4, Pistol 5 or Mantra of Distraction. when I interrupt I make damage plus vulnerability, extra vulnerability when I daze.

As for choosing Mantra of Recovery as a healing skill, it’s just because of the centaur runes which allow me to have perma swiftness. Null Field for Condi removal and Blink as Stun breaker and gap closer-runaway.

I chose Giver weapons to make my conditions last more so immobilize and bleeding get to shine a bit more since Runes of the Centaur already give +15% bleeding duration.

But I’m not sure what armor to use. Should I use a mix to get both power and condi damage? or go full zerker and remove Giver weapons (wasting Sharper Images and Runes of the Centaur #2)? or go Dire armor with zerker accessories to have some defense, condi damage, power, precision and crit damage?

I don’t know if this build has been thought before. If so, I’m sorry, I didn’t copied it.

Oh, and the build is mainly for PVE/Dungeons and maybe WvW.

I don’t have much resources so I’m shooting for a balanced builds that can work in both without having to respec every time (maybe changing skills or traits but only in the same lines like switching Rending Shatter for Mental Torment) I go from dungeons to WvW nor having to have two sets of armor.

Thanks. =)

Interrupts and shatters are sadly pretty useless in dungeons. Trash mobs don’t last long enough that interrupts would matter, and bosses have defiant which makes only one in every five CC skills even do anything. Similarly, shattering is good for burst damage, but you want sustained dps in dungeons.

This is heading towards a good build concept for PvP and WvW, and you can look at Shatterlock and other lockdown builds to get some guidance, but for a PvE/Dungeon build you really want to go for the standard berserker phantasm DPS setup.

Yeah, I knew this build is not going to be the optimal dungeon build. But I also use it in the open world to help my friends level and such. Suppose it was a WvW build, what would you equip?

If you really want to use a shatter build, I suggest Osicat’s Shatter heavy 3.0 build.
