Guild Wars 2

So I was thinking about that. 5 seconds still is really short but with a berserker LB build and fury you have an easy 70-80% crit chance on Barrage. So given that you are hitting 3 targets for example which will occur rather often you hit about 30 crits in those ~6 seconds of Barrage rain.

If I am right you will boost your pet to full 25 might stacks whenever you Barrage for about 6 seconds which translates into 875 power/cond. dmg.

Rapid Fire is weaker but overall I’d say with LB your pet will stay on ~8 might stacks on average if you take piercing traits and cdr.

Depends on the situation partly.. I mean for 1v1 shortbow or sword will easily stack the most because they attack the fastest (and sword stacks might on its own anyway).

Axe hit 3 targets always, if there are that many targets around, so will stack quickly and GS (and to a lesser extent sword) can cleave multiple targets.

Thinking about it the LB sounds like one of the worse weapons for might stacking because of its lame #1 attack speed.

Why does everbody think LB is about #1? But I undertsand your points. In the end Barrage will be the skill that can stack it the most though (on a high cd of course).

Because as good as barrage is, its a slow a long cooldown.

Hunter shot and point blank shot are certainly nice skills, but for what you are talkking about here (might stacking) they offer nothing over and above the #1.

The #2 is OK but as is often pointed out, its DPS is questionable given the long channel.

if you want perma stacking might for pet sb,axe and sword are much better !
even if you can hit a short time much stacks with barrage..most time you got about the half

Ok regardless of the weapon I would like to know if your own might duration will influence this? I mean +60% might duraton would make this 8 seconds already. I can see having some good might uptime on the pet which could be the thing keeping BM builds alive.
