WvW roaming questions
Hello friends, i am using the Osicat hidden cat build, but i am having a hard time sometimes to do burst damage. To the ones that doesn’t know the build, is a PU one with knight / soldier gear and traveler runes….
yesterday i faced a warrior and after 5 min of fight i just wasn’t able to drop his life below half… he wasn’t able to kill me because i am very good avoinding death, but… is kinda sux to hit like a feather. Other day i had the same problem against a elementalist, my damage didn’t scratch his vitality and he burned me down in seconds…. looks like i can kill only paper classes or bad players
what is the best build to keep avoidance but do more damage?
(sorry for the bad english, is not my main language)
Watch for the protection buff on tem, time your damage for when they don’t have it. Also for warrior watch for block everything buff.
Osicat’s hidden cat build isn’t really orientated around burst. It is survivability orientated.
It is a phantasm build, so your job is to get those iBerserkers up, being your highest dps phantasm, and just hide in your torch 4, decoy and mass invis. Also to auto attack whenever its safe.
If you want a high damage “burst” build i’d go for a shatter build. The squishier it gets, the more burst chance you have. It’s all about risk and reward.
i will try a shatter build…
“Burst” damage is something that is quick and sharp, so yea shatter build is the best way to go.
Try the build below if you need something more sustainable. (Osicat’s Ghost Shatter)
Note: For this build I’d recommend you use Diversion for the vulnerability stacks then use Mind Wrack
If you feel like a baller and can play a squishy build try this one (IbmafJoe)

Your problem is soldier/knight gear. Zerker (or assassin) is the answer to your low burst problem. Mesmers are probably the easiest profession to use full zerker gear on, so swap your gear if you want actual killing power.
What sigils are you using? You can increase damage a lot by stacking might with sigils of battle or strength
minhas sigils sao battle / strengh
My friend i used to have this problem. Facing a warrior if you have the chance i remove torch. You don’t need to hide that much and use a berserker pistol off hand instead for more DPS. Also consider using superior sigil of doom on the pistol. (Poison on weapon swap) which will help nullify the stupid amount of regen warriors have.
Also as per previous answers, spec in more Zerker gear. PU helps you survive. Also try some shatters (wrack, cry) especially if your Phantasms come up in your rotation again.

If you use Zerker gear for the PU build, do you still use condition runes? Or – what runes/sigils would you use?
