Guild Wars 2

Hey all, I’ve been putting together this build together for a few days now, and I absolutely love it so I thought I’d share it with the community. Basically it is designed with dungeons in mind, but can work well in groups anywhere. Any thoughts on how to possibly up damage or anything else I will happily listen to. I play super casually so I don’t bother with foods or other things like that.

Greatsword PvE

I run steady focus because the greatsword and LR provide enough evades, I swap muddy terrain with just about anything.
I run Axe/Warhorn because of the might stacking, blast finisher, breathing room from melee, and the condi can be useful in some scenarios.

Please tell me what you think! I am not one to “ruin” the meta, but I am also not one to “play” the meta. Thanks for reading!

Have you considered sword over axe? It does more damage, provides more mobility/evades, has better synergy with predators onslaught/martial mastery, and provides you with another leap finisher.

Try out this tweak instead. You said at the end that you are not one to ruin or play the meta, so this build keeps your weapons of choice and modifies the traits to fit around a casual yet contributing manner while doing more damage.

Greatsword PvE 2.0

Things to note about the tweaks:

• Replaced Bloodlust to Force on GS for more consistent damage
• Moved traits around for Companion’s Might
• Took Rampage As One over Entangle as the Elite
• Double Drakes for extra blast finishers in combo fields and durability
• Added in Flame Trap for a fire field to provide for parties
• Grabbed Bountiful Hunter in Nature Magic for more damage
• Picked up Survival of the Fittest for extra Fury and condition cleanse
• Alternatively, you can swap Survival of the Fittest for Strength of Spirit

I’m supporting Wondrouswall here.
He hit all the points.

4/5/0/5/0 is the GS meta.

And when I say meta I mean it is the build calculated to do the highest damage.

Predators onslaught is a waste unless your party is providing perma cc’s.

You drop that to pick up hunters tactics and bountiful hunter.

Also you don’t need sotf if you have furious grip.
