Guild Wars 2

This build focuses on might stacking on the pet.. there are several sources of might these include

rampage as one
pet swap
wep swap
chance on crit
jungle stalker

The build:

the boon sharing is a must, with the jungle stalker it give x5 might for 10secs this is then shared with your pet

so you have x5 might for 10 secs
the pet has x10 might for 10 secs

with the traits and runes these times are longer..

While the research is commendable, I don’t view this as very powerful:
(1) It’s only 10 seconds of might
(2) It requires a long elite cooldown
(3) Jungle Stalker’s Mighty Roar is a 3 second cast
(4) The example was shown on an NPC and still resulted in a dead pet.

While the research is commendable, I don’t view this as very powerful:
(1) It’s only 10 seconds of might
with traits + runes it’s 18 secs of x10 Might that drops to x5 with 8 secs left

(2) It requires a long elite cooldown
elite not needed every time but helps with burst

(3) Jungle Stalker’s Mighty Roar is a 3 second cast
yea it’s long i’ll give you that.. but for x5 Might I kinda expect that

(4) The example was shown on an NPC and still resulted in a dead pet.
yes the pet is dead but did you see the damage he put out before he died?

jungle stalker
7.2k
2.5k
2.5k
2.6k
2.6k semi total 17.4k

jaguar
3k total 20.4k done by pets alone in that time..

p.s. if my pet management was better i would of swapped just before he died gaining x3 might on the fresh pet..

Oh, the damage was nice, no doubt about that. It’s just the practicality of it and personal preference.

There is setup time, which I’m not a fan of.
There is a long down-time, which I’m also not a fan of.

I see were your coming from..

In a real situation.. e.g when using for pvp a player wont hit nearly as hard so the pets up time will be longer.. that is unless your slap bang in the middle of a zerg..

the perceived set up time is not really there when fighting a real opponent.. you dont get to stand there and charge up.. the play style goes a lil something like this

mainly fight with the jaguar to grind down hp a lil bit, pet swap then cast mighty roar to get the gain from quickness, wep swap for more might.. burst target.. switch bk to jaguar when cool down is off wep swap.. rinse repeat

The one thing of most interest to me in this build is the use of the might from sigils with Fortifying Bond. Normally I’m not a fan of that trait, but it does work well with Might (since it gives your pet 10 sec of it).

looks like you’re refining Chokolata’s Build that focuses on Sigil of Battle and might sharing. His is more for WvW than PvP though.

This is for PvP right? From what I see, the traits are all over the place I’ve never personally ran something like this so I could be wrong. Here’s a couple of questions I have:

1. How effective is Companion’s Might? Based tests, it only lasts for 1 second.
2. If you remove 10 points from Skirmishing, where would you put it?
3. How good is your survivability? Rampager’s is 75% offense, and 25% defense. Add to that, you have no defensive abilities at all

they probly are.. i was focusing on pets and might and yes it’s for pvp

1. How effective is Companion’s Might? Based tests, it only lasts for 1 second.
   look at Companion’s Might closer you could probly drop it as it only works well with shortbow tbh

1. If you remove 10 points from Skirmishing, where would you put it?
   personally i would get the grandmaster traits in BM and NM and go for natural healing for some more survive and either add nature’s bounty or nature’s protection

1. How good is your survivability? Rampager’s is 75% offense, and 25% defense. Add to that, you have no defensive abilities at all

have only been testing a short time.. and only tested in hotjoin.. it does very nice damage to spike fast.. but for that this particular build is very squishy as i was going for more max damage first.. then dial back for some survive

nice questions btw..

heres another vid with some nice pet crits
