Guild Wars 2

Hi,

This is the build I’m currently using in PvE as berserker / power necro.

I want to know, is there any way I can make it better? Let me hear your ideas.

I was also thinking of using Bowl of Fire Veggie Chili instead of Minotaur Steak, but I wonder how good it actually is?

What exactly are you doing in PvE? Raids? Dungeons? Fractals?

Anything really, just general PvE. I’m just wondering if I’m overlooking something that would make it better.

I don’t use this in raids or fractals above ~60 though, I have a viper set for that.

this is my build i use in pve and wvw and w/e. youre runes of ranger 6 may be wasted. i dont think minions count as a companion. And minons are good for leveling but when youre 80 they are trash.

if you don’t have hot then berz is fine. you lose out on hp tho. if you do then you can craft exotic marauder’s. its discoverable just need the recipe for the insignia and inscription. the jewels are also discoverable

The wiki says Rune of the Ranger does include minions:
The game considers summoned NPCs to be companions; this includes minions.

Your build seems a lot more tanky, is that why you use Marauder? But I wonder how much DPS you do compared to mine.

Actually its quite glassy, just higher hp. And I’d probably outlast you cuz of the higher hp. I use that cuz of wvw is reallyall i do. if i was full zerk like you id get one shotted constantly. in pve it doesnt really matter teh build tho. you can go around naked and be fine.

Also, between Decimate Defenses and Death Perception, he does not need very much precision to hit 100% crit (in fact, if that was PvE only, he might not need any precision gear at all)

Anyway, this is what I usually use when I’m running around in non-Expert+ Fractal or raid situations:

Staff is more of a personal preference (I got a Staff of the Sunless skin, which will only ever get swapped out by Nevermore, if anything), you’ll probably get more out of axe/X (or dagger/X if you want to go “kitten range” and go all melee for max dps) Locust signet is more for open world, fractals and dungeons I swap it for either Spite or another well or shout, depending on the fight coming up. Most of the trinkets are Valkyrie because in most situations where Decimate Defenses is really useful are places where there is going to be 25 stacks of vuln and someone with a Disipline Banner or Fury to have you hitting the critical chance cap without needing full zerkers, so you might as well give yourself some more health to live longer. Scholar Runes shouldn’t be too hard to maintain in reg. PvE because you typically want to build your life force on trash and enter shroud at the earliest possible moment to wail on whatever boss, champ or legendary you’re really there for.

I use something similar, but I spec into Soul Reaping instead of Death Magic for Death Perception so that while there is 25 Vuln, while in Shroud I have 100% crit. This allows me to use Valkyrie gear as Precision is effectively useless. And yes, I am that guy using Valk in t4 Fractals and the raid.

I like what you did though, I love minions I just never use them much:D
