Guild Wars 2

Hey guys,

I’ve been testing with this new pvp build I stumbled upon. Its strong in team fights, and has alot of area control with the wells.

Each well gives quickness, protection, and siphons health from each foe you hit.

The gravedigger swings are good with the quickness, which happens on each well, and on weapon swap you have swiftness, quickness, and the 3 first hits are guaranteed to crit.

Reapers shroud is another powerful source of damage. You can set your enemy up with Wells behind them, Reapers shroud 3 for stab, and then 4 to pressure them to stand in the well or eat your whirlwind.

The biggest downfall is the run speed, in which I tested with rune of the traveler which felt like a decent alternative to get the speed the build lacks. This is what makes Rangers one of the only difficult matches for this build.

If it sounds fun, give it a whirl!

Any feedback would be appreciated

Yeah I’ve been playing this for quite some time now and I gotta say it is pretty fun. The build is easily kited in 1v1’s but performs great in group fights.

As I see you want to be quite tanky: ever used the Cavalier or Crusader amulet together with Decimate defenses? Still gives you power and toughness but makes your crits deal more damage.

This is the reason that I opt for Knights over maurader, maurader barely helps for survivability.

I’m going to try Cavalier tonight, the only thing that holds me back from it is the vulnerability stacking of the build is not very strong due to not running spite, but I figure that with sigil of intelligence I should still be able to put out the burst crits when I need to.

This Seems quite susceptible to kiting and condi. Only staff 4 for long CD transfer and WoB which is weak, sadly. I’d at least take Plague Signet. I run pretty close to meta and that doesn’t seem enough a lot of the time, so a lot of the time I run Generosity and Energy on both weapon sets. Other than that, looks like a fun build.

No matter what tweaking, a well build will be a teamfight build, period. The build is not designed for solo fights, and so changing the build too much to do better in solo fights will hurt its great teamfighting capabilities. For a good all-around power build, Soldier Signet Reaper works much better.

Obviously lol.

If all of my utilities are aoe, do you honestly think that Im under the impression that it’s a great 1v1’s power build?

I honestly play this build simply because I have a blast playing on it, and it isn’t bad in 1v1’s either. The wells timing and placement are very critical to the performance of your fight, as well as if you combo it with a gravedigger swing crit with quickness or shroud 4 to pressure them into your wells.

I have even been able to Tank 2v1s until help arrives, like a bunker. But yes I would agree that the build shines in team fights, due to the unblockable wells that influence the whole team fight. And the fact that the build rezzes allies quicker than jesus.

For mobility use shroud 2.
