What do you predominantly play PvE, WvW, or Pvp?
-If pve do you do dungeons or fractals alot or what do you enjoy doing?
-If wvw do you like playing with a group or roaming?
Answering these questions would be helpful for people to give you some tips.

Also i would like to add that nothing of this build is set in stone, but i would really like to keep my shortbow and axe/torch.

shortbow + axe/torch suggests a condition heavy build with beast mastery on top of that just to survive longer and use my pet to killer effectiveness. Try looking into apothecary-like gear, I like it because it gives me high toughness/condition and I don’t waste the third thing which is healing power, other gears give you precision or vitality which I found not to be useful. Something along the 20/0/25/0/25 lines, which is what I use.

Build name: The fire-condition beast master

20 in marksmanship for Opening strike, Piercing arrows and Sharpened edges. Also that bit of extra power is nice if my pet dies on me and my F4 is on cooldown. I just like it more than anything in skirmishing, in my experience and personal gameplay style.

25 in wilderness survival for every awesome little thing you get here, I do sacrifice on grandmaster traits but that’s because I feel experienced enough to be alright with that fact. However you can change this to 30 if you like.

25 in Beast mastery, why 25? Because I never saw the need to bring it all the way up to 30. Think about it, unless you plan on needing 50 more points on healing power to boost your actual Power via Nature’s Wrath, I’d say don’t get to 30 unless you want to.

For trinkets, I use ascended rabit+apothecary, I found that in practice and in numbers it does amazingly well for a condition build.


Notes: your build is for a full berserker, meaning all killing power and zero survival. If you like that then boost it up by looking into this:

Edit: I generally prefer greatsword over sword/torch, simply due to personal taste in combat, however one does not outweight the other. In fact it all depends on what you are doing. For instance, in dungeons/PvE I find that axe/torch is better than the melee option.

Thank you so much for your answer! I’m going to look into this right now. Somebody already suggested the apothecary acc, so i bought some of that wich should go great with this build then.

Ok i’m kinda confused here since the build you gave me from the build editor has other trait points then the one you talked about?
