nothing too groundbreaking here, but it is possible to use the new terrain to go a pretty glassy with the LB at 1500 range. ive been having a lot of fun with this build:

- about 2600 power with stacks
- 47% crit without spotter
- 100% crit damage

you can make various tweaks to this, like piercing arrows instead of spotter. i wouldnt go with signets in this case because you need to keep 1500 range on all targets to maintain 2500-3.2k autoattack. using spear underwater, GS and LR, you can kite anyone forever. at the moment, im only dying for overcommiting or when i make a serious mistake. im able to take down condi engies, thieves, mesmers, and warriors just by maintaining range. of course, this build crumples in melee, but there are times it’s acceptable to swoop in and do a bit of burst.

IF pet AI and responsiveness get fixed in October, i’ll likely be running Sic Em with cat/wolf to annihilate mesmers and thieves quickly. utilities are pretty flexible, but LR is necessary

thanks for optimizing that. but crit is a little low and i lose 10% damage from scholar runes (my health is often above 90…if it’s less than that, chances are im in trouble). the swap to sentinel GS and energy sigil is mostly for defense. i’ll test out a zerker GS but it’s quite suicidal with such low toughness.
