Guild Wars 2

Along with everyone else I have been playing around with build ideas for the upcoming expansion. Seeing as I lost signet mastery with moment of clarity as they are now in the same skill branch, I have modified a new beast master build with a little more survivability.

Running marks/nature magic/beast mastery

Going beast master bond, beast master might and remorseless Ness

Nature’s wrath evasive purity and protective ward

Resounding timbre natural healing and zephyr speed

Plan to be running Valk and cavalier mix with great sword sword/axe. Hao, sotw, sos, sic em, with rao.
The change to Hao being a shout will enable permanent regeneration swiftness and a good size heal every 16 seconds as the lingering magicntraitnwill extend regeneration even further. mixed with natural healing and maybe even mango pies, and weakness and protection every 12 seconds I can see this build making it to the back lines with a lot less of a hard time than before. I know pets are commonly seen as a pest in wvw due to aoe but I can’t stray away from bm builds. It requires a lot more pet management but 5-7k jaguar crits feel too rewarding to pass up

With the changes to remorselessness the ranger can finally have precision be a dump Stat and we can focus more on maxing our raw dmg and survivability.

Personally I will be running jaguar and perhaps a drake or raven as a second pet option . Any constructive criticism is greatly appreciated. Still trying to figure out some better condi removal than just evasive purity.
