Hi everybody,
I never posted on this forum before because i never needed 2, but i want to know what you think of this build and gear, because i ’m gonna spend all my precious gold on it ^^

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fgAQNAW8KlwzKqHVTrmExkigD5Qf46IfQ1Kpg3uQA-jEyAYMBZKDEJKwJvioxWzKiGryGT5SEVbvLiWtQAjWAA-w

I mainly want to use it for WVW in small groups or alone.
My goal is to stack a nice amount of might and fury (traits) and swiftness (centaur runes).
I like big numbers(sword pistol) , with just enough survivability (staff)

What are my concernes:
-Do i have enough condition damage /duration (because i dont know howmuch influence this has on my dps), or doesnt this matter for me.
-Should i go for general boon duration runes in stead of runes of the centaur (but then lacking enough swiftness)?
-Do i need more defensive stats for the tougher situations out there?
-And one more question i have: whats the relation between condition damage and confusion? Because i feel like thats my main condition i would like to buff it if that was possible/beneficial.

Thank you very much for ready (and replying ^^)

All sigils with a CD share 1 internal CD. Sigil of might needs to go. A sigil of battle on each set is better if you swap weapons often.

You would be better with zerker 1-handed weapons and knights chests/leggings.

Even though you have gone almost full zerker, you can get about 12-15 stacks of might with that build or 420-525 bonus power/condition damage along with the 150 from illusions. It’s some nice bonus damage but I wouldn’t try to rely too much on your conditions or trait for confusion.

You have phantasm traits and clone death traits and shatter traits. None of these have synergy. Almost full zerker but you trait confusion. I’m not really seeing how this build plays out though. How do you see this playing out? The answer to this would help a lot with both gear and build advice.

As Duck as stated above me, I’m having a hard time figuring out what you’re really trying to do with this build. It seems you’d like to go full dps without sacrificing too much in the sense of surviving. I’d suggest taking out of Illusions entirely. Maybe put it into Dueling and grab Duelist’s Dicipline. Put the extra 5 points into Domination and grab whatever trait floats your boat for that tree. That would be traited for all out damage, and in that case I’d grab a few pieces of Soldier’s armor, maybe even another trinket or two for your survivability. I’d say berserker weapons are definitely the way you want to go though. What I also would suggest, is instead of pumping into dueling, put the extra 10 points from Illusions into Inspiration and grab Mender’s Purity or Persisting Images. The extra 5 points in Domination you have seems a little pointless to me, and I’d suggest either going 20 deep into it, or take out the extra 5 and trait it somewhere else (with 15 out of Illusions, that gives you 20 points to add around). Maybe go 30 deep in Dueling and 10 into Inspiration. But above all, if you are looking to survive longer, grab zerker’s weapons and swap out a few of your armor pieces with soldier’s, and an extra trinket or two. That’s just my two cents, let me know what you decide on and how it works for you!
