Guild Wars 2

I guess you could make a case for Path of Midnight and Spectral Mastery but the way my build works, I want to be in DS for as long as possible due to my attrition based trait selection. Death Perception, Reaper’s Might, Unyielding Blast, Chilling Darkness (for plague form). The longer you stay alive, the more damage you deal. VP helps tremendously with my style and I believe should be core.

I take VP in nearly every build because it seems to be such a boost to survivability. I consider it a main trait to my power build, though. I wouldn’t go without it.

You can take VP in every build and not kitten yourself.
I would say it is one of the best adapt traits we have.

The LF that you save from the natrural degeneration with that trait should not be underestemated.

If a bunker build existed that did not require minions then I would say yes.

Been running this build lately I’m having fun with it. IDK if its what your looking for but its based around DS and bone minions.
