what’s the best setup for wvw, zerging and roaming?
pretty much all builds atm go full chaos + the rest of the traits spent to try to maximize conditions output or power

what do you use and why do you think it’s best

Commander Soundless Death, Necro 80 – IoJ
Commander Gammaburst, Warr 80 – IoJ
Headhunter Jaeger, Thief 80 – IoJ

Zerging – Power, but obviously you need to be quite tough here.

Roaming – Power, condition and hybrid are all effective at the moment. Power builds are essentially better at ending fights, a lot more chasing capabilities etc. Fights tend to be shorter and the loss of toughness means you lose out on survivability when compared to condi but gain a lot higher spike damage. Condition builds are better at surviving, and can win 1vX easier with sustained condition damage, but enemies can disengage far easier than with power. I’d personally recommend a hybrid build, with a mix of berserker and rabid gear, to get the best of both worlds.

P.S. Prismatic Understanding, while good, is not the only viable roaming build ^^
