Good day boys and girls! Today I was thinking about a good build that could provide some utility to the party while dealing good damage and empowering our beloved pet.

Here we go: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fMAQRBMhxG1JQFRWWVhVQsWIQWK2j9jVIRePSP2TEdFKlUeSJkiE-jAyAY/ioRTRCEVYZ0JvioxWcLiGruGT5SEVbwLiWtUAjKMC-e

Target: general PvE, dungeons and fractals

Weapons (Berzerker): sword is mandatory for its high damage and evade skills, just need a little practice to master it; warhorn for party buff and blast finisher; dagger for the extra evade. With my signets choice i want to reach high prec while boosting damage.

Armor and trinkets (Berzerker): for runes i use scholar, the best choice to boost our dps.

Pets: Jungle Stalker and Jaguar for obvious reasons, top dps pets.

Traits: all traits are focused on empowering pets and to buff party members, i’d like to have fortifying boons too but i don’t know how to really take it, it’s up to you. (A note on mighty swap: i like it over commanding voice because with the upcoming changes the ranger will take 3x might as well).

Heal-Utilities-Elite: Healing Spring, simply our best heal; Quickening Zephyr, Frost Spirit, Sick’em, QZ for quickness (you don’t say) and stun break, FS huge party buff damage (something like 7% overall), Sick’em to make your beast…a beast; RaO = godmode. (Notes: in fract, if my party don’t have a lot of protection, i swap sick’em for stone spirit).

Usage: pretty simple but funny and efficient, you want to keep endurance bar full to get steady focus buff and you want to evade as much as possible using your weapon’s skills to keep scholar runes buff, also you want to swap pet like a crazy drunken horse to get that awesome quickness buff and to give vigor to your party. Place frost spirit in safe places and remember that your pet must stay alive, no matter what or you’ll lose tons of damage (and please don’t write posts like “omg pet sucks, he’ll always die no matter what ç_ç” because my pet is 95% of the time alive; 5% dead because i’m playing with one hand while smoking).

That’s all folks! Constructive criticism is welcome! (And sorry for my bad english)

very similar to brazils build. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oGtY69tcek or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oGtY69tcek

Very effective build. Great DPS and group damage/crit increase. If you run with a half descent group who know what they are doing this is a pretty beast build. I will give your variation a try next time i do dungeons and let you know how it goes.

I run pretty much the same build with only 25 point in BM. But it allow me to pick fortifying bond with 15 in NM. With it, I’m sure my pet get all the possible buffs.

I also run with the cooldown reduction on shout wich allow sick’em and stalk to have a similar cooldown (which mean every 32s my pet is on frenzy).

The difference then come from my equipment as I have a mix of magi / cleric / berserk on armor (full berserk on the other stuff) with hunter rune (but i’m poor, and going more into berserk stats will render the BM25 quite useless … or not, i’ll have to try some day).

Current build : 0/10/15/15/30
