Guild Wars 2

So I’ve been lately experimenting with a build that tries to maximize a combination of blocking, dodging, reflecting, and stealth. It isn’t a dps build in the regular sense, but I suppose with all the defenses built in you could possibly go very aggressive, or whatever.

Its based off of the following key traits:

Dueling 2/2/3
Chaos 3/1/2
Inspiration 3/3/1 (alternatively: Illusion 3/2/1)

Sw+T / Sc+Sw

1. So each time I block an attack, as long as ICDs are satisfied: I create a clone, create a pDefender
2. Each time I dodge an attack, ICDs satisfied, I: Create a clone, create a pDefender, and get Reflection
3. EAch time I dodge regardless, I create a clone
4. Every time I evade an attack (IE sword #2), I get reflection and create a pDefender
5. Every time I use a manipulation, I get reflection (out of skills 6-10 all but one are manipulations)
6. I’m also using PU with three cloak skills

I just wish I could also get ineptitude in here. That could be a nice alternative to one of the other trait lines, but I’m not sure which one would be most worthy to drop if I went for that. Drop Inspiration and pDefender on block/evade for illusion with the blind/confusion on block/evade?

I’m not including the gear in the link here, simply because I see so many different types of gear you could use with this. Currently, I’m using celestial gear with traveler runes, but I’m contemplating some kind of set with Runes of Evasion.

I’d be curious to hear what gear and which trait options YOU would use with this.

So what’s the purpose of the build other than to cram all the evade/block features into it?

To irritate/troll people?

LOL

Sorry, couldnt resist. Honestly, the idea is to have a solid defense while having some more offensive gear. Be less squishy while still being able to hit hard. shrug mostly its just playing around and trying different things. I like to experiment. Doesnt precisely HAVE to have a goal in and of itself other than see how it performs.

I’m thinking maybe either Rampager’s or Sinister armor.

And with that in mind, this is prob a better build, using Rampager gear: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vhQQRAsf7clsnh20YZawRNwtGLvGj5KLPCaAf1U5EbENA-TlwPAA2+Dg6PAA-w
