Guild Wars 2

I have ran into these guys in WvW the last couple weeks…

LB/Staff, so I know some kind of druid…also using the Trap/Stealth mechanic…also has hints of crazy speed.

I know it has got be some kind of hybrid, but Metabattle has nothing even remotely close to this.

Any links to build guides, or info, etc is appreciated.

Maybe shout troop roamer but switched GS for LB?

Need more info than that. Were they stacking bleeds on you or were you only getting conditions when you ran into their traps? It could be a crit bleed build or just a standard power build using trapper runes for the stealth and super speed.

Condis were only really coming from the traps…but this guy wa sin and out of stealth a LOT…i mean like every 5 seconds he was poofin away…and when we would get him close to down, out comes the staff and he goes from almost no health up to 3/4 full in like 2 skills…i just can’t figure it out.

Probably the build i crafted for roaming. The bleed is probably coming from the CC > immobilize trait (ancient seeds). You can find a video and written guide here:

Doubt it.
Probably something closer to this: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNAQJAWTjUqQ7K2tCmrAXLWYEM4m6Utr+8EGWtMmCw3KAMy0A-T1BGABA8EAIS5XDXCgK0FYv6PTpEk69HIFg5KjA-w

It gives reduced cooldown for traps and smoke cloud, plus quickdraw would let them get off multiple blast finishers or hunter’s shot.
Shouts and ancestral grace x2 make for decent out of combat mobility. They might also be running regen food instead of on crit to recharge CA more quickly.

Lolwhat?

“Crazy hints of speed” and stealth every 5 sec and traps is clearly traps + rune of the trapper. I don’t know why but I don’t like you for some reason.

Can’t please everyone.

Thanks all…I’ll read through these, as they all seem like good stuff. I just couldn’t pick out what would do that whole combo of stealth/speed/condi and be repeatable so gorram fast. (Special shout-out to Jim Hunter for helping see those combos I was missing. Its starting to make sense now. )

No prob. If you are planning to try it out you might have fun with a crit bleed version

You lose out on the reduced trap cooldowns but your traps will actually do some damage and you’ll constantly be stacking bleeds. Between spiketrap, taunt, takedown (smokescale) and point blank shot shot you should be proccing ancient seeds pretty much every time it comes off cooldown.

I haven’t tested this out yet so if CA isn’t recharging fast enough you may want to drop 1 of the traps for “protect me”. This will give you a second stun break, protection, another taunt to proc ancient seeds, and another 10 seconds of regen to help recharge CA. It also acts as another source of swiftness for better mobility.
