Guild Wars 2

The Herpa Durpa Durp Build (type-o intentional)

Link to Build

Since everyone and their poodle is making some cool and neat build and naming it, I decided to create the most generic and brain-dead build and give it an appropriate name.

This build is actually fairly decent in solo queue simply because of its ranged burst potential. It does well supporting team fights from range.

Here’s how to play it:

1. cast Phantasms
2. herpa-durpa-durp
3. stomp.

That’s all there is to it.

Basically you’ll do some team support from ranged by running around and launching your phantasms on someone who is fighting someone else.

If you want to try to set up some kind of combo, you do this:
Sword5->Sword3->dodge->swap->Sword2+Diversion->Swap->GS5+Power Lock->GS4

If the crit stars align and you catch a squishy with their pants down, this can do somewhere between 10 and 18k damage. Half of this combo will put most thieves on the turf, and Swordsman is nasty spike damage.

Usually I’ll sneak in late to a fight, Sword5+Sword4 (for 5% more damage), then swap to GS and spam.

This build takes Deceptive Evasion because you basically treat your images as disposable handy wipes. I know this is taboo for phantasm builds, but…well, screw it, it just works.

Between 3xMoRvy, Lyssa and 3xPower Lock, you have plenty of opportunities to get out of lockdowns or stop incoming damage.

Power Lock synergizes really well with IoL too.

Pros:
– durpa-durp
– 6x condition cleanse (and OPlyssa)
– durp
– 6x interrupts
– boon strip
– 3xHealing Mantra (3x heals better than Ether Feast)

Cons:
– squish, Daniel-san, just like grape
– can’t bunker (or can it?)
– crappy in 1v1 against tanky builds or builds with AoE
– blinds totally screw this build

Bunker-in-a-Pinch
– If you find your team lacking a bunker, then swap your sword/sword for staff, toss on a soldier’s amulet drop IoL for iDefender and this build is a halfway decent side bunker. It still won’t hold up to a MM Necro or a Bunker warrior, but the Phantasms will hit just as hard and still will have a 45% crit chance thanks to Phantasmal Haste.

Hold on there, you can’t make builds like this, you will get the class derfed!

You mean Durped!
