Guild Wars 2

Hello, I plan on giving WvW another chance when HoT launches (haven’t touched it in three years) and I was wondering if I could get any critiques for the gear set I plan on using before I sink my gold and Laurels into Ascended Jewelry. I would be doing Solo and Small Group WvW.

The build is just what I use in SPvP and is subject to change if it doesn’t work as well in an open environment. Assassin Ascended Weapons, Exotic Valkyrie Armor as I am unwilling to invest the time to make it Ascended, and all Berserker / Valkyrie Ascended Jewelry. Link is below… I am worried that I may need more Toughness but I also don’t really plan on face tanking zergs. As with the build the weapons are subject to change but they would still have same stats.

Thanks for any advice on the gear.

I would personally suggest running Close to Death over Spiteful Spirit, but you are asking for gear. Another skill suggestion is to get either Plague Signet or Consume Conditions on your build. Plague Signet can pretty painlessly replace Suffer, as that gives you both another stunbreak and the same maximum condition cleanse, but is much stronger in single-target situations.

I would swap the positions of the Sigil of Chilling and Sigil of Ice. Chilling is more impactful on Greatsword while Ice fits better on staff (more chills at long range are better to help you catch enemies).

Otherwise, gear looks all right to me.

Thank you, I’ll definitely swap those two sigils when live comes you are the second person to recommend that, I tend to swap to staff before going into shroud anyway for the double hydromancy proc.

Thanks for the advice.

It looks too baggy and those colors are sooo last year…

how’s that?
