Guild Wars 2

I’ve been looking through several builds for WvW and wanted to see what people may recommend.

I have a friend who is playing a thief and would like for something that may compliment that if possible.

Below is the build I’m looking running. It is from Seven Mirror/Grimms Guide to WvW.

Focus build
10(III)/20(II,X)/15(IV)/20(V,VIII)/5
The gear:
Main hand scepter/Off hand sword/Main hand sword/Off hand focus (All Valkyrie)
Knights set
Ascended pieces (power/toughness/crit damage)
Runes/Sigil’s
Melandru runes x6
Superior sigil of Battle on Scepter and main hand sword
Superior sigil of Acuracy on off hand sword and focus

I’ve also been looking to a Bunker Build for with Staff and Scepter/Focus.

Any opinions or suggestions? Thanks in advance.

5 in Illusions for a phantasm build means it’s outdated. We now must pay with our first born to gain Illusionists Celerity for our builds.

Didn’t know that Helios, thanks for pointing that out.

Yeah, 10/20/20/20 would probably be better.

Personally I’d replace the scepter/sword with greatsword for this type of build – far superior burst which gives the ability to nail runners, especially when you use crit/power armor. The scepter does… absolutely nothing.

You dont really need to change your build for bunker, just the gear – get full soldiers armor and trinkets as a secondary gear set, plus of course the staff. If you change to 0/30/20/20/0 you can mix a cleric/soldier set and go mantra healing at will (mantra cooldown and clone on dodge will conflict with only 20 points in precision, that’s why you want 30 points)
