Guild Wars 2

I’ve been messing around with several builds the past couple of days on sPvP and landed on this http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fQAQNAW3YjQah6daaa87JApCPP9g7xFP6BxFHMA-TsAg2CrI+S9l7LzXyvsNNuYZw+CA

To my dismay I learned that I can’t get those stats in PvE/WvW unless I worked for the Settler’s armor which no one seems to be doing anymore. In your guys’ opinion, would Apothecary be a viable substitute? Or should I focus on offensive stats for PvE/WvW. I’m just afraid of investing a bunch of time and money into something I’ll end up not liking. Especially since I’ve been really enjoying the build linked above.

Also, does healing power affect siphoning? I have my wells set up to siphon as I originally thought it did, but I’ve heard yeses and nos. I guess this makes or breaks the whole Toughness/Healing power/condi damage I was shooting for.

Thanks for any feedback. Cheers.

The Vampiric trait has a healing power ratio, it’s very low (Something like 0.005?), but none of the other siphoning traits have a ratio with healing power. Skills that siphon by default (Dagger 2, Spear 3, Downed 1, Signet of the Locust, and I think that’s all of them?) also have a healing power ratio.

Well that makes me a sad panda.
