Let’s break it down a bit. Hope you view this as constructive. That is the intent. For the longest time I played a full zerker and was a good zerker in a bad spot trying to roam!!!! My biggest advice is to start with something that is working for someone else and make minor modifications first then gradually make more and more.
No sugar coating, but this spec is going to have a problem. You seem torn between wanting to retain what you are comfortable with (2 bows and a power set) with some survirorability. Trouble is you have half a glass of each. There is not a lot of synergy in your picks. You want to come down a bit harder on one side of the equation or the other.
Breaking down the film, it looks like:
1) TRAITS: In WvW, if you are not a pure glass cannon you need the condition removal of empathic bond. Fury and might are going to be a lot less useful on beastman’s bond when running a ranged pet.
On the other hand, steady focus adds a full 10% damage. That damage is far more than the damage gained from beastman.
One of the great things in Nature is the fact that boons you get are shared with your pet, but you have nothing really to add boons.
Evasive purity looks good on paper but blind and poison really aren’t the conditions you should fear. Nature’s protection would be better.
2) GEAR AND STATS
Biggest fear is that you have too little condition damage and too little crit chance/crit damage. You have lots of power, which helps, but you really want to pick a better synergestic second trait. Power without crits really will eat into your total damage.
You have a condition weapon and a power weapon.
Might stacks are your best friend when it comes to power builds. You have few.
Your sigils are designed for bleeds when might would be much better. Plus, increasing the duration of your conditions with such low condition damage is suboptimal.
The biggest gear issue would be with the rune set as it really plays much better with a pure condition vs heavy power build. Look at power runes.
Your defense just isn’t there. Toughness isn’t high and you have no healing. Vitality won’t last long. So you are not enough bunker or enough damage. Kind of 2 half glasses.
WEAPONS/SKILLS:
Entangle is good on high condition builds but this isn’t one. RAO works well because it allows you to rapidly get might stacks. Works even better if you have 15 in nature. A good volley or rapid fire will stack up your pet nicely.
Spider as one pet is ok. But you might want a fast attacking or AE pet for RAO.
2 bows is a tough challenge unless you go for a high power AND crit build. Have you considered a melee/offhand option?
Heal as one takes a long time to cast and you have no real condition removal. So you might want HS at least.
What is the thought with having the toughness signet?
Overall, you try to do a bit too much and are winding up with a little bit of a lot and not a whole lot. It happens. I did like a lot of the thought into combos like power/vitality in nature etc. Malicious training works well with spiders that have multiple conditions on their passives and active. Etc.
Overall, embrace either:
1. Power build
2. Condition build
3. Some form of bunker (spirit or BM) build as a start
Take a look at some of the “cookie cutter” builds in the PvP sticky and start adapting from there. Make changes that fit your playstyle but start with something that works and incrementally change.
