Guild Wars 2

Im pretty new to theory crafting and i wonder if anyone can tell me if this build is totally ridiculous?

Im doing open world, dungeons and just getting in to fractals aiming for raids eventually (dont mind dabbling in a little wvwvw either).

Im looking for a bit more surviveability but trying to keep my crit up too.

Im just finding i seem to die easier than others in a dungeon group especially when everyone dicides to just run through a bunch of mobs… if i dont have shroud up im stuffed.

Its really the armour and runes/sigils im concerned about.

Thanks for your time

Hi Geezer. I can share my thoughts about this subject. This is the build I would use.

As you can see, with bloodlust stacks, you go over 3200 power, with 225% ferocity. With 25 might, it’s really nice, and it’s pretty easy to self stack 25 might, due to spite traitline. All that is without any other party buffs.

Also, I don’t see any reasone to have toughness on your gear/food. You would just draw more aggro. Survining is a matter of learning and adapting to situations. Not a gear check. So, just play and get better.

I tend to swap my utilities depending on the situation, content. Same as weapons. I really like the axe, love to see those 26k ghastly claws! Also, with reaper shroud, you can do some great dmg.

I opted for dhuumfire and chill damage as with 25 stacks of might, they do some pretty good damage and suplement your physical damage. And with decimate defense, you dont really need shroud crit boost.

I find this build to be pretty good, and I can do most content with ease. Sure, soloing champs is not as easy as opposed to minion master, but hey, you can retrait on the fly.

Thats a good point about the food.

I went with Runes of the Eagle to get a bit more precision having lost so much by going Valkyrie rather than Berserker and wanting to take Dhuumfire rather than Death Perception.

Ill have a go with the axe but to be honest i usually take staff for a bit of range if i need it.
