Hey all,

Just now jumping back into WvW since pre-hot expansion.

Previously I ran a condi / terror build with dire armor and rabid weapons + trinkets.

Terror was nerfed into the ground so I’ve converted all my gear over to trailblazers, since it seems to be the new go to.

I’m looking for a build with massive survivability.

Mostly solo / roaming. I do however, like to jump on the zerg train now and again.

I like how you have converted all your gear to trailblazers (which is what, 30g per insignia?) and then asks for a build, lol.

Power reaper is obsolete in WvW until they change deathly chill from PvE→sPvP balance. There are metas available on metabattle.

If I recall my own build correctly (which isnt quite meta), I run viper+dire/rabid, 1/2/2 (reaper), 2/1/1 (curses), 2/2/3 (soulreaping). Staff is a given weapon, dagger/focus as secondary (immobilize are killers). Skills vary (CC as heal because conditions are being thrown out like candy today, usually a couple shouts when roaming).

Its not a tank but I find it tanky enough. Trailblazers is just so much expensive cheese.

Appreciate the reply, but I’m using Condi gear.

Well I’ve always played condi in WvW, so I figured Trailblazers was just a given.

I’ve checked metabattle. For whatever reason, the builds just don’t seem to click with me. Chillromancer looks like it may work out, but I’m wondering if there is a way to make it more sustainable.

Rapier, I am curious why you don’t use Sigil of Ice on your weapon(s) if using the chill run in the Reaper line?

cos i wanna land as much diferent conditions i can in shortest time. imo if u concentrate only on one or two conditions on enemy groups with all that cleansee u wont do much dmg to target.
and i did some changes in trait line curses: plague sending switched to chilling darkness for more chill->bleed on blindness.
master of coruption to terror since I made a mistake on builder. so more dmg on fear.
