Looking for a power build for PvP
This is what I run in PVP…it’s not a complete Power Build but its close enough, uses might stacking, and the added healing power synergises very well with your shouts.
Cliff notes:-
Every shout provides 10 seconds of regen for 2000HP. That’s 200 HP per second which can be kept up constantly with your shouts. (Hence why I took guard)
Shouts will also provide 10 seconds of swiftness which can also be constantly kept up.
Do not trigger strength of the pack until bristleback F2 skill is ready. (12 second CD which means you shouldn’t have to wait long) Once the skill is ready, trigger elite SOTP, then trigger F2 and watch your might SPIKE. That added with your pet swapping giving you might from Clarion Bond and Zephyr’s speed should net you a large amount of might. You will hit like a truck.
The low precision isn’t a huge concern, you will get constant fury from using greatsword as well as triggering strength of the pack and pet swapping (clarion bond)
Use staff skills for ranged attack (solar beam still hits hard) as well as kiting. Staff 5 and blasting with staff 3 will also give you a good burst heal.
Traiting into beast mastery means your pets also hit a lot harder and more accurately. I use smoke scale defensively (blind) as well as for safe stomping or if i need an inviz to burst but you can use which ever pet you desire. However bristleback is a must for might stacking in conjunction with strength of the pack.
I also take guard because it provides my pet with protection. If your pet has protection, or any other boon for that matter, when you trigger we heal as one you will also gain whatever boon the pet has including protection. Unless my pet is attacking I am constantly spamming guard.
Greatsword 2 is perfect to use after a weapon swap. Just get close with staff, weapon swap and trigger maul. It will demolish players.
Btw, the condi clears come from your glyphs, however there is a delay so you will have to stand where the bloom pops for condi clear to happen. Attack point bunkers at range with your staff and using your pet to attack them. Your pet will also trigger any DH/ranger traps as well as necro wells. Once they are triggered, swap pets right away to save your pets health and go in for the kill with your greatsword.
I use Celestial avatar in emergencies only or for group support from a bit of range. If you’re in trouble trigger CA, F4 quickly then F3 your enemy quickly then F5 again to swap back to normal. CA is an added bonus but dont count on it to save you. Use it as a tool, not as a crutch.

Skill-cap build but very effective. Counters elementalists.
Is weak against constant condition pressure if you can’t avoid it with stealth or you don’t have access to CAF.
“Observe, learn and counter.”
Just run standard power ranger. It’s got the stunbreaks, condi clears, damage, utility. Solid all around build.

Could swap Protect Me for SoS, SotW for QZ, heals, depends what you like really. Can swap berserker for marauder if you want more health.
