Guild Wars 2

I’ve been having a lot of fun with this build.

I use skills like Hunter’s Call, Call Owl, and Crippling Talon, and pets (birds – bleeding and chill) at range instead of a bow, to soften targets.

When/if they close to melee, then I’ve got the power of main hand sword and Viper’s Nest. Lots of poison and bleed, so I took Poison Master to increase dmg, and Strider’s Defense to cut down on ranged attacks against me.

It’s a lot of fun to hit targets hard at range, and not be wielding a bow.

The only thing I could wish for is a bird/hawk/falcon based elite skill. I’m using Mist Wolf for lack of a more appealing choice, but it’s really just there as filler.

Use Raven, offers highest single target DPS available. Well, atleast the ingame description says it deals 2000 dmg.

Well, atleast when I used it with 4 points on Beastmastery, Pet Provess (Adept Skirmishing trait), 25 stacks of Master’s Bond and Sic Em, the raven could hit about 2k-5k with it’s attacks and Raven’s Blinding Slash.

I did use Raven for a long time when it also had lacerating slash, for the bleeds, but it seems as if it was recently changed to Blind instead – so now I just run with the Hawk (for Bleed) and Owl (for Chill).
