Guild Wars 2

I’ve been gone more or less since shortly after the heart of thorn was announced, and from what I’ve seen on the forum i have some catching up to do on effective builds and patch notes, after reading the forums and messing around in heart of the mist for the day this is what I came up with

pvp- http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vhAQNAR8encfCVohdqB2qBMrhlTjCd7SqvjMAWgCoear2uF-TJBBQBPsMQDuIA1Y/BA8EAAA

wvw/pve-http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vhAQNAR8encfCVohdqB2qBMrhlTjCd7Sqvrear2ulMAWgCA-TFCBQBQU5H+0NIBlgN4iAUj9HKn5PEq+DAeCAkC4ulWA-w

can someone let me know how badly I did and what I can do to fix it.

PvP
I could make a run down of everything.
But you seem a bit directionless. So instead, I’d rather set you up with functioning builds (They aren’t necessarily “meta”, but they function)

If you want to play power shatter:

I’d take moa over gravity well, mental anguish over powerblock (in the dom trait line), and fire sigil over blood on gs.

All of that is personal choice though. Mental anguish is easier to play than powerblock. And since you’ve been gone for a while, I’m assuming interrupts aren’t your strong suit.

For condi:

I’ve got nothing to add to that one.

WvW/PvE
Ahh, this one…
So first of all, grouping these is a bit of a nono.

For PvE, ideally you’ll want assassins stats. For WvW, ideally you’ll want zerker, maybe some assassins mixed in, but full zerker is fine.

For WvW, you’ll be running the same PvP Power Shatter build I posted before, but Gravity Well instead of the moa I suggested.

You can also swap the sigil of fire I suggested before, for sigil of blight. But sigil of blight is a bit better for 15 v 15 GvGs in the guild hall, than it is for open field fights. It’s a matter of taste tbh.

In open field WvW/GvGs, torch may be preferred over shield.
If you’re in a guild arena, torch is literally useless, so shield is preferred.

For PvE, it depends entirely on the content.
For dungeons/fractals/what have you:

For raids, you can run either of these.

And yes, I did just swipe from metabattle, but in this case, it looked like you needed more direction, and less individual advice. Your builds looked to be a bit all over the place to me.

I mean no offense when I say this.

But you have condi traits, and a condi signet, but 0 condi damage.
You have a sigil of accuracy and a sigil of perception on both of your weapons.

These are not great choices. First of all, if you take stacking sigils, it’s really risky. You won’t have a consistent power level throughout a match, so you might never know if you’ll kill someone with an attack or won’t.
Second, sigil of accuracy is a very blehhh sigil. And you already had some decent perception. Any on hit crit sigil is preferred over accuracy.
Or even an on swap poison proc sigil. Poison is effective against heals regardless of condi damage, so any poison you can output is a positive, as long as it’s not outclassed by another sigil.

no offense taken, I did ask how bad it was. I should have been more specific when I said pve I meant open world so less need for a actual build there.

thank you for the advice i’ll probably go something close to the second build you posted for pvp, and power shatter for wvw
