Guild Wars 2

I am currently running Nemesis’s terror build. And I have been running it with great success. I do not have a problem in 1v1, 1v2, or in zerg on zerg.

I am wanting to increase my bag farming rate and am considering switching over to a wells power build. The current power build I use is Talentless’s build and enjoy that quite a bit for 1v1 vs rogues and ele’s. But I find it not so good for running with a large group.

I am in a hard core wvw guild, on Jade Quarry, and most of my time is spent running in a 5 man gank squad, 20 man havoc group, or 40+ zerg. If I am solo I will always be in either the Terror build or Talentless’s axe/focus build. It depends on what play style I feel like playing, at the time.

Here is the build I have in mind on using for zerg bag farming. Please critique and offer suggestions. I don’t want to simply just switch out a trait, to make well’s ground target-able, so I am going for a full build around wells, just to add a little support to my team, and bring out the damage potential, while remaining tanky.

The main suggestion I have is to take 10 points out of spite and put them in death for staff mastery. Retaliation is getting nerfed, and more marks means more badges.

You may also consider taking 10 points from blood and putting them in curses. I don’t think well siphoning is especially strong, and you could pick up the curses grandmaster minor and get another useful ability like weakening shroud. I also like axe/dagger over scepter/dagger in power wells, but I could just be blinded by my pretty Frostfang.

I done the DPS build for wells and marks, it takes all traits who concerns them

I am aware of the visual identifier being added to players who have retaliation. There are a few reasons why I picked retaliation over staff mastery. I do not consider it much of a nerf and I find wombo combo d/d players will just mash out their combo with no regards to the entire situation. Staff’s cool downs are plenty for me because after I combo with staff in an area I will switch to scepter dagger for the aoe cripple and weakness. In cases I have a few conditions on me, while in that weapon set, I will transfer 3 of them over with the 4th dagger skill.

Since I will be middle to front with this build, I want to still be able to provide a little support to our front lines. I also find that this is the optimal place to be to place Reaper’s Mark in areas I want to break up, or land a critical Corrupt Boon + Epidemic combo. Utilities to me are very very situational and should be picked before you engage.

Thank you for your input.

I have looked at the build and the choice in runes are excellent. I also like the trait setup. I do not get why you would use rabid over knight, because this is not a condition damage focused build.

I run something very similar to this in dungeons, but if I were to take it to WvW, this is what I would go with. Never had any problems with siphoning being too little. Only concern is no stun breaker.
