Guild Wars 2

Loving the new patch. Makes this build very very viable now. Just played a few matches in sPVP (doesn’t mean much but its good to test some combos) and rocked it. Previously I played sword/horn and LB or SB, but with SoH, melee pets, and faster arrows, using the GS is actually a better burst due to the gap closer.

I’m used to playing Eles and have a thief too so moving around + finger dexterity isn’t anything new, and you’ll need that for this build:

As you approach your foe, f2 on Jaguar
GS Swoop (close distance before your jaguar hits)
Hilt Bash (stun/daze + jaguar will now hit extra hard)
Maul
Weapon Switch (swiftness+fury)
Point Blank Shot
Hunter’s Shot
Rapid Fire + Switch animals + Wolf attack (quickness, and wolf will probably knock them down)

They’re usually dead by now, but if it’s a tanky build, switch back to GS, block/interrupt, repeat. If in a team, open up with Barrage instead of GS Swoop. Dodge to keep up protection and lightning reflexes when needed. Quickening Zephyr is there for rez’s or if you need that extra burst of GS auto attack right before you kill them and stomp.

In PVE, switch Eagle Eye for Piercing Arrows (arrows go through mobs), and if you’re tough, switch Hide in Plain Sight with Martial Mastery (20% GS cooldown)

For runes, I was debating on Air, Eagle, Ranger, or Lyssa. But Lyssa has a pretty good conditional removal + all buffs which can make a lot of classes panic when they’re low on HP already from your burst.
