“Be like water” – Bruce Lee
LB with BM build?
Without running the math I suspect it will do a lot less damage than a normal LB build? Looks fun, although you are pretty much 1/10 on the defense and condi removal!

Would it really be a lot less though? The power is comparably the same, with the biggest hit coming from less crit chance and ferocity. That’s one of my biggest hesitations on the build.
Yeah, I don’t worry too much about the condi removal. I know, I know. Big mistake for WvW. But, I figured if I’m going to get caught with condi’s to the point where I’m going to be worrying about removing them, I’m going to be dead anyways (1v1 + my nervous fumble fingers = frequent dirt naps).
EDIT: I just did a quick comparison, take out the 6 in BM and put it into Skirmishing. I actually have more power with 6 in BM. Less power with 6 in Skirmishing but 20% more Crit chance and 20% more Ferocity.

Crits are such a monstrous part of the damage of berserker LB, I don’t think the extra speed will come close to matching it. I’m terrible at math so I’m not even going to attempt to prove that.
Not just the condi removal, but also getting out of both hard and soft CC will be rough, especially if you’re using QZ as a damage boost. HS doesn’t allow you to kite very much. I’m not seeing this going well in a 1v1 or small scale, but who knows. Even zerg surfing will be rough as that is often 1v1s until you can lose or kill the guy who found you. I personally wouldn’t go out without SoR and LR, but everyone has their preferences.

Oh definately! If I can get the jump first, I usually do well. But if the opposite, I’m a goner. I’m going to mess around on it tonight and see how the build fairs.

If you want a BM twist to a LB build you need to adress also the BM side of the build.
pet’s prowess is a must, changed eagle eye to spotter(effect both you and your pet) , sigent mastry(changed to 3 sigents, the QZ was just greedy). Took intimidation training to spam with eagle/hwak(value combo), horn and rune of pack for long fury and speed uptime for both you and your pet. changed gear for more tanky stats.
