Guild Wars 2

I like to call it a rollie pollie build cause you do alot of evades to stay alive, still workin out the kinks in it but i find it gives you a huge burst and gives you maximum refresh rate of your shroud CDS, aswell as decent suriviabilty. Good Boon corruption, ive thought of maybe trading spectral armor with spectral walk for those big group fights, havent tested it yet. Hope you enjoy ill link some Plat ranked gamepplay down below

What’s the “burst” part of that build? I really don’t see it.

You use a Condition amulet to play Power and the only real way you have to inflict any good damage is hope that the enemy team is full of condition builds to send back conditions to the enemy with staff 4 and plague signet (both passive and active). that’s a wise move, but there’s always lesser condi builds in spvp (at last in the matches i fought), expecially at high levels. There’s only necros and few mesmers.
Your Power damage is low (3k with axe2? that’s a little too low…) and you mainly use the staff to fight and obtain LF, but you don’t obtain it fast as other power builds that use blighter’s boon and might proc. Your Power damage is ALL in Shroud and even there your damage is lower than any other Power build I seen in this game. But you mix it with Condition, then you obtain a mediocre damage from the RShroud 4 with poison stacks, but nothing more.
Maybe change the axe for the scepter and focus more on conditions? You already play a condition build, the only thing you do is play it with a power weapon. a condi weapon should use better your damage statistics.
You can not even tell us that you play axe for LF generation because it you spam few condis and use scepter 3 you will obtain the same or more LF than the axe 2 (the scepter 3 also isn’t a channel and will not break before you get all the LF). The axe 3 corrupts 2 boons AoE and is good, but the scepter AA can be better in different situations.

Then, you have a low Power damage and a low self condition damage output (expecially because you don’t use condi weapons -staff isn’t a condi weapon but an utility weapon-) that totally rely on the enemy conditions to grant you some real damage. That worked in the past and can work now, but there’s always lesser condi builds the higher you go in ranks.

That build is good, but don’t add any real high survavibility unless for it’s amulet (a little more vitality than marauder, if compared to power builds) rune and sigils (to obtain one dodge more when you swap to staff and use the heal), all the other things are already used in more or less all the other power or condi builds.

It’s a build that can work in team fights, and if the enemy don’t chose to kill you with a real focus you’re shure to survive or be able to flee. You’re also a good player and that make easier for you to flee from a fight.

That’s for shure not a build for the mass and not the best I seen. It’s a viable one that totally rely on the enemy conditions to inflict good damage and generate LF slower than any other Power build I played. But it’s a hybrid then there’s nothing to really tell about your damage. It’s made to survive and not to inflict damage, I think.
In team fight it can work.

Silv’s opinions seem fair to me. You’ll be relying on corrupts to bring out your high condi damage.

This build reminds me of Barbarian Curses Shouts. It can be ok on side nodes with a 32k+ health pool, but lack killing burst.

Speaking of tanky, anyone crazy enough to try a Chrono Rune Wells build? Thrown together:

was playing one for like 4 seasons… some differences…. i opted for go for Diviner ammy, also used GS d/w and went full wells even the heal lol. Also opted for the CtB over golem. Essentially had zero condi clear and zero toughness still made plat with it.

Div… DIVINER ammy.

HHHHNNNnnnnnggggg

That’s insane, but in a good way. Now with 10 seconds of protection on Well cast.

edited this build a bit
