Here is the build I run on my stream www.twitch.tv/chompstomp

I do make a few changes now and then, like swapping for steady focus if there is more sniping spots.

This is just what ive come to like running recently.
Cheers

I can’t watch the video for another 9 hours because of work, but would you mind explaining why you’ve made some of the choices you did? Specifically with your Warrior Runes and running Accuracy over Flame?

Do you find the 2 second off swap is really beneficial in the long run when you’re losing more vital stats over the vitality?

For my playstyle, Where Longbow is my main weapon and my gs is either a finisher or to disengage. I feel the weapon swap serves me pretty well. Vitality is always nice to have, and with the trait strength of spirit its an added bonus to power ( all be it not that much)

When I swap to GS to leap away, i want to get back into longbow asap to start attacking again at range.

The sigils on the longbow, I really havent found any I stick to. I went with accuracy because i felt the 7% would put me at a decent amount.

The sigils however on the GS are geared towards the disengage – Hydromancy
Finisher – Intelligence

I’m beginning to appreciate Accuracy + Bloodlust the most as a WvW player. I think with the update, however, I’ll be moving bloodlust to an offhand (I can’t decide yet on shortbow with fire for triggers for stacks or gs for the gap close/escape). If I don’t retain bloodlust on the bow, it’ll definitely be Accuracy + Air.
