Guild Wars 2

I tend to experiment and take things to their extremes and tweak until I find a sweet spot I like. This was increasingly difficult to do with bows and find the survival I wanted.

In an Effort to remain an Archer and find a sweet spot I have refined to the following build. I have been running it for the last two weeks on and off and several clips from my new Video I was using it. It’s held up well vs all classes as well 1vX situations.

If you want to run GS then simply shift 5 from skirmishing to WS and spec the 20% on great sword. It’s designed for Direct Damage roaming/solo with at least one Bow so please judge in context.

Highlights:

2920 attack SB – 3000 LB
30% Crit Rate and Damage
1912 tough/2976 Armor/18400 Hits
769 Healing Power (3 passive regens)

Over 325/HP Sec Passive Regen that are not boons and cant be stripped.

SoR – Active/Passive Condition Removal/Stunbreak
Signet of the Hunt – Gotta always be moving! And the Pet Pimp Preload!
Signet of the Wild – Regen and Short Dur Pet Pimpin’
TU for Heal as using it preemptively just sweet

Max BM for Pet Damage/30% Bonus to pet Crit Dam from Skirmishing (I)

Twin Birds Provide Chill/Blindness (traited ,use F2 2X and Swap pet) and steady hard damage (imho Birds tend to be ignored more than larger pets and I like the defensive aspects with Blind/Chill they bring in addition to the High DPS)

High Vigor Access and hence high Dodge rate (Min 12/min with Energy Sigils which mean 24 sec of protection/min, 36 sec per Min of outright evaded or protection mitigated Damage)

And For the Archers 20% Faster on all bow skills (GS can be traited likewise in the Skirmishing/WS mod mentioned Earlier)

Since the build is more spread you can use w/e Elite you like as they each bring a different flavor and are really to taste and situational.

Question: Why double bow you ask? It’s Kitten!?!

Answer: I don’t care, It’s what I wanted to do from day one, I am stubborn like to do things my way and am determined to make it work. I don’t do things this way because its easy, I like the challenge as it’s hard. That being said, there are positives of being able to constantly deal damage from range.

Anyways wanted to share for those that want a DD BM/Regen build with at least a Single Bow in it =)

Cheers!
