Guild Wars 2

Hi guys, been absent for a while and finally caved in and wanna play wvw again. what are good wvw builds atm? especially chorno builds..

not looking for dueling builds atm. more like zergbusting and group battle builds. also i love to try non meta builds too.

Not shure if mesmer is the right profession for zergbusting and group fighting.
Maybe ranger, dragon hunter or elementalist is better ?

nope i always zergbusted on my mesmer. i played mainly mesmer and for over 4k hours.i even played mesmer in wvw zergbusting when we were veilbots, but now that i was away for like 5 months im looking for new builds in chrono or wanna see which builds i have missed etc.

eh yes GS Bererker busts well XD … But i am not so experienced with mesmer and Zergs… I prefer roaming and elementalist :-). For me the power mesmers are a snack :-). The condie ones eat me …

Disclaimer: Playing Mesmer in a group is an often depressing experience. After experiencing the strength and utility of Elementalist and necromancer, Mesmer is really depressing.

Anyway…

So the Zerg hero build I’ve found most effective is the guardian runes block-burn build. I use full dire with sw/sh+gs. Chaos with bd, illusions with ineptitude, chrono with w/e you prefer. The general idea is to just wade through the middle of everything with your block up to proc burns on everyone. It works fairly well, doesn’t lock down utilities so you can take veil or w/e, but doesn’t actually contribute to killing all that much.

For more focused stuff, you’ll have to go glassy. Gs+sw/sh or torch, power gear, that sort of thing. You’ll squish if anything hits you, so you’ll need to stay aware of your positioning and make sure you’re properly picking targets.

It’s not really possible to do an effective aoe bruiser. Your main aoe comes from shatters and wells. Wells are garbage damage, and shatters need clones. While it would be nice to actually have aoe or strong cleave capability, the best we have is the shield wall, and that gets bricked by hitting an invulnerable recently downed person 90% of the time. If you actually want to do good damage…go ele.

thanks pyro. good to see u are still here :-). p.s probably soon back on our server ;-)
