Guild Wars 2

I use this build mainly for solo WvW roaming.
Would appreciate if anyone can help point out improvements for my build thanks!

I am hoping to have a build that is able to handle fights against a variety of other classes/builds out there decently.
It is mainly a hybrid power/condi build.

Edit: just to add, my middle utility skill Well of Power, I change when I face up against different classes if I spot them from far in time. If not then I generally fight anyone with WoP.

But if I spot them in time to change, generally I will change WoP to:
Vs warrior, elementalist, guardian = Corrupt Boon
Vs thief = Spectral Wall
Vs ranger, engineer = Blood is Power
Vs Mesmer = no change

Swap Mark of Evasion for Vital Persistence for starters. You’ll get much better mileage out of Dhuumfire.
Also probably switch your Dagger and Staff to Rabid. It’s really just a condition build which happens to have 1771/1811 Power. With your setup the way it is, you’re better off going full condition instead of throwing in a Zerk OH Dagger and Sent Staff and trying to sell it as hybrid.
Maybe try switching sigils of Malice and Momentum to Geomancy.

Are you having trouble with anything in particular or just looking for improvement?

um well dhuumfire is casted on the first hit so I don’t need to stay long in DS for dhuumfire to proc unless the enemy dodged the first shot.
mark of evasion provides some good regen and bleed!

mmm i was thinking of swopping my staff too. Just using what I found as a drop until I have more gold lol. don’t think I will go rabid though, probably zerk.
I have tried fighting anti-condi builds using full condi and the result was not pretty for me. like diamond-skin eles? they eat full condi necros.

do you have a link for a real hybrid build? I always thought a mix of power/condi = hybrid XD I must have been too simple minded lol.

hmm is sigil of geomancy good? the radius i find it really small, and very hard to be useful. not tried it though. it is like enfeebling shroud trait…i find the radius so small it is almost useless! though I still use it purely for fighting thieves lol.
I am thinking of removing momentum though as you don’t always enter a fight in WvW with it anywhere near max unless you spend time maxing it first XD
any other sigils to consider apart from geomancy? unless someone can confirm geomancy is good even with the small radius XD

as of now…I struggle most against good bow warriors for reasons i do not know why lol…i think they are full condi? not sure…i also heard their bow auto-cleanses condi after some time too…

You might wanna check out Flow’s hybrid for ideas.

And the “auto-cleanse” LB Warriors have is http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Cleansing_Ire not really an auto cleanse. If they’re also wielding dual swords then they’re likely full condi.

oh hmm…someone told me bow warriors have a skill/trait that removes 3 conditions every 10 seconds or something like that XD

but thanks!

Also no offense to flow but i think his build is terrible.
it looks weird!

Glassy but you should melt people

That traits allows them to remove up to 3 conditions every 10 seconds (7.75 sec traited), but it’s not a passive removal.

Regarding Flow’s build, I’ve tried it out and had pretty good success. Mostly small group ops. Yours is closer to a traditional Dhuumfire build. Might want to look there for ideas.

3 conditions in 8 secs? that is sick! no wonder my i lose half my fights against them!

the build posted by Nex looks decent enough.
but for wvw, dagger mainhand? is it good? i rarely see it being used!
(though i just saw one a few days ago)

It’s a roaming 1v1 temp and it’s as hybrid as it gets, only condi it can’t do is confusion but you could change the armor a little bit and use perplex runes instead of aristocracy and change up the battle sigils to something else.

Wouldn’t bother with scepter as it doesn’t hit very fast or hard the dagger will proc bleeds as will the warhorn 5. I guess you could use axe but I just don’t think the damage or the bleed procs will be as good. Terror and dhuum decently high base damage and your condi duration is good. If you manage to hit someone with spite doom and a lifeblast they will hit every panic button they have.

Btw please do not confuse me with the Nex that just started posting here promoting some website that has a an MM build and a vamp build on it. Also has some math tables were he “shows” axe is the necros highest dps weapon. No idea where the numbers he got came from though

Been testing out alot of diff setups for hybrid builds aswell the past few weeks, I think i finally settled on a build that suits my playstyle and maybe your’s?
Its abit more tanky than NeXeD’s build but prolly a litte less dmg
But just suits me better for when i dont have people to peel for me

Im using Sinister weapons and not celestial so abit more power/condi than shown. Also util is switched around alot depending on situation. I also quite often run Banshee’s Wail instead of terror for perma swiftness if solo or added soft CC.

I started out with a 6-6-0-0-2 with no spectral armor in the mix or Last grasp and just found that i was missing out on a lot of clutch defense/LF regen when getting focused. But again that’s just my playstyle, if i could rock a full on condie/power burst build for all situations i would

when fully “powercreeped” up (with sinister weap’s) the above build is at around 2400 power and 1200 condi.
