Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone! I’m newly level 80 and am looking to seriously get into my build as a minion master. I want to be able to sustain my minions (as well as risen Jagged Horrors) all while being consistent in the damage I do (primarily condition damage). I would be grateful if some experienced players gave me a few pointers on good armor sets, runes, or weapons (I primarily use staves but I can change if it’s not the most effective). Thank you!

Sounds like you’re playing in PvE, so just a fair warning MM is really subpar for any kind of organized content. Not to say you can’t play it if you like it, just want you to understand that going in.

This is a sample build, you can do whatever you want in Spite adept, and you can use either staff or axe/whatever as your other weapon set, or just another dagger to proc swap. Basically just use the healing from blood magic/weapon swap to keep minions alive.

Thanks, I am focusing PvE at the moment, so it’s okay. I have heard that MM isn’t really effective at anything else, so I’ll watch out for that. But thanks for the feedback!

Since you are doing PvE, you can still use Berserker stats while doing MM build. You can even use Sinister stats if conditions are your thing.

you honestly have a lot of options:

This is a celestial build that gives you more DPS, soul reaping lets you use death shroud more frequently to heal yourself and your minions more often.

This build is similar, but it gives you more condition damage while still letting you heal your minions.

This build doesn’t really support your minions at all, however it certainly will make the best use of death nova and will probably have the best condition damage rate. Deathly swarm, night fall, and haunt will all apply chill with this, so you’ll have ample chill, weakness, and blind going on.

Them links are all the same :<

Minion masters are very powerful in open world play. When people talk about minions not being good in organized play, it’s only because the current meta is for everyone to stack in one spot and just spam skills.

When the play style is actually about moving around, using your dodges and playing smart, you’ll find minion master is very fun and very effective. I run minions in every dungeon and can finish them without any difficulty (aside from random elitist players complaining that minions screw up their stacking strategy)

Heres a build that wins me a ton of games in pvp and also crushes monsters in pve.

It breaks the meta by ignoring power altogether.

Because it isnt berserker build, it is fairly cheap to gear up.
