Hello folks, I’m hoping there are some like minded spirits out there.
I’ve been trying to figure out, which build to go for in the last couple of days.
I simply can’t choose which spec to go for. I solo roam in wvw. Only solo roam, and only do wvw. To adapt to thieves I have started to run spectral walk for juking, and flesh wurm to get out of harms way.
In short I like the hybrid style game play.
But to make it more complex, I like both high crits, I like high condi damage numbers, and I like to be sturdy… hehe yeah I know, I want it all, just like Queen.
I’ve been running rampager (? power, precision, condi dmg) with celestial amulet and ascended beserker ring (just 1) the others are also rampager. I run superior runes of the afflicted (the one that does a death nova when downed).
Another aspect where I also find myself troubled is in choosing weapons.
I like the axe #2 dmg and axe #3 for ae cripple and boon strip. But I hate axe 1. I especially hate axe when fighting thieves, because they always seem to go into stealth, right before I press my ability, making it go on CD and not hitting.
I also like dagger for big damage, immobilize and life steal. But I hate the range.
Love the scepter and everything about it.
Also love the staff, especially after the patch, with increased radius. I like that I can cast marks on the ground and set up for a thief ambush.
So as can be seen, I’m very much in a state of WTF should I do. As I like most weapons, I like every off-hand as well. But I just can’t seem to find the right fit for me. I like to have one condi weapon and one physical dmg weapon. But it’s not an absolute must.
The most fitting I got to was a 30/20/0/0/20 build with scepter/dagger and axe/focus, with terror and burn dmg.
But after the recent patch, I find myself being utterly destroyed by thieves. Just yesterday got one to under 2% hp, only to see him go into stealth and be at 90%+ hp when he came out of it, to subsequently destroy me (I was just so happy… not).
So, in summation, are there any hybrid www solo roamers out there that have found some magic mix, and would like to share their build?
