Guild Wars 2

Put together a hybrid build using these two GM traits and you make one tough son of a, well you know. Celestial is good (key is to incorporate as much vitality as reasonably possible). Traits/runes and the other 2 pts Im undecided on however. Using SB + SW and Torch

Post the build if you don’t mind.

spvp?

I mainly do wvw but it works in spvp (not sure if better than spirits in spvp though)

spvp version:

the 10pts and runes are really flexible though, you could take 10 in power with spiders + pet condi duration (or take the sharpening stone trait), 10 in precision with cats and + crit damage on pets, or 10 pts in beastmaster with mighty swap, dogs and might runes + sigils.

Generally might stacking/condi runes seem best but speed runes might also be good.

I’ve been running it since the patch, I would say that, in spvp, it is not better than spirits. The team bonus spirits give is just so much better. With bark skin and survival of the fittest, you have almost zero group buffs. Fine for 1v1, poor for group fights.

Yea it works pretty cool.

Even protect me is better with the barkskin, pet is tougher too and absorbs that much more. I needed sigil of stone (with mastery) but now protect me seems viable.

Slot up a brown bear for extra condi removal (and absorb a crapload of damage from protect me) and good to go.
