Guild Wars 2

@Puandro: In your video around 2:25, there is a neat trick that you did with sword 2 while trying to catch a running ranger. Here you used hornet sting in the air but you didn’t get that roll back, you stayed in place instead and then used monarch’s leap to reach him. Can you elaborate on this?

I cleared my target then turned my character around and used #2 to leap towards him, then targeted him for the 2nd part of the #2 but my pet got the final hit in so that wasn’t really necessary.

That was really fast, I didn’t notice because it didn’t seem as if you turned around to use reverse – hornet sting. Thanks for posting FYI one of my guild mates is looking for a melee oriented BM build, which I think yours is exactly what they are looking for. Do you think the build you posted in your video could have more room for improvement? What improvement could this be?

I use a slightly different BM build that is more condition/hybrid by giving my pet more killing power, more toughness/vitality to me and more condition damage/condition duration to me, paired with a keen game play.

All I can say about your build is that, although you do give yourself plenty of boon boost with your setup, you do lack a bit in certain areas that you could otherwise use for survival. I know you admit to it, and its not that I am picking on your build, but I do want to know your thoughts on improvement so that I can share with my guild mate.
