Guild Wars 2

aoe build that i put together.. Thoughts? been done before? is it effective in any type of play?

In a vacuum it looks like it works really well, i’d suggest getting some footage of it in live PvP. It’s hard to judge how something will actually work based on how it works against dummies.

http://youtu.be/qSosnoyrQX0 as requested and such this is uploading now. sorry i’m new with video capture and everything that goes with it so until i learned more it’s pretty bland and low quality.

It looks like fun, but you have to be mindful of the order that you use your skills. If you don’t use Entangle as one of your first skills, every player in the AoE area will just dodge roll out of it, and your skills will be useless. I would consider getting Muddy Terrain instead of Lightning Reflexes, and then Rampage As One instead of Entangle. That will make you able to lock down opponents more often, and have better burst damage. It’s also a good idea to trait 5 points into beastmastery, to get quickness on pet swapping. That will give your F2 skill a much better chance of hitting.

Also; don’t forget that all your pet skills (F1-F4) works in downed state.

it’s actually 30 points into BM line. but it is a fun build and i just posted another video but the muddy terrain swap and RaO will be worth a try. if anyone wants to try it out i’ll post the build link but it will be later on.. i have a ton of stuff to get done right now.

I use a similar build, my pets are always canine / spider.

LR & Signet of Renewal are interchangeable -which are our only 2 stun breakers- which is what is great about 10 in MM and the extra 50% condition duration for pets wich matches really well with BM cainin and spider cripple f2 major trait.
