Guild Wars 2

Hey guys
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fMAQNBlYD7koiEL7rQLIULDErHEa/Dq9gTW68uC+PlV8k1UB-jUyAorITfgoCwZvioxWHLiGreBTdSEV7NCm7YR1yAwMGA-w

Just wondering for some advice with this build. I am going for a build that can deal decent damage whilst still staying alive. (I plan to Roam with a Condi Warrior)
Also with a build like this should I use longbow or shortbow
sword warhorn or greatsword.
Thanks

The problem I am having with power builds is they just don’t have the damage of other classes. Even if I run 2k+ power, 50% crit, 50%+ crit damage, you still can’t kill people. The closest thing we have to a burst is burning all 3 signets and then maul. That might hit a heavy target for 4-5k, and now you have to kite to stay alive for 60 seconds.

With no crit/crit DMG or might stacking I just don’t see how you will kill anything.

there is another thread within the first two pages of the forums that has some good wvw roaming build suggestions (and is named thusly), including a power-based build i threw in there.

some thoughts:

roaming with a warrior, you are always going to be the first they try to kill. you have great armor/health but without sustain and vigor you are going to be dead a lot.
roaming without greatsword means you are going to get caught a lot.
roaming without good health regen is only okay if you have good burst. this spec has neither.
bark skin is bad outside of pve, even after next patch. Health threshhold is too low.
protect me is for tougher pets than what you have slotted (bears), and is generally bad outside of a zerg.
this spec fights against itself, examples:

• takes signet of the BM and lower signet cooldowns, but chooses protect me over SoS
• takes signet of the BM arguably to use SotW for burst, but gears to resurrect players. (cannot resurrect players with enlarged under SotW).
• Takes SoR to help mitagate condi’s/break stun, wouldnt need SoR if Empathic Bond was chosen.
• Takes reduced survival cd’s for Entangle, doesnt take Lightning Reflexes.
