Guild Wars 2

Hello guys,

I would like to have some feedback regarding this build.
I’m aware of the META, but I love my Greatsword and I wondering if this build is really so far behind.

Here is the dungeon build, you could of course change some traits for open PVE (e.g. no Vigorous Spirit&Frost Spirit): Build

My thoughts:
You have great mobility with the Greatsword and perma fury cause of “Two handed Training”, if you PUG couldn’t provide it. Together with “Spotter” you will reach 85% crit chance even more with Discipline Banner from a Warrior. Your pet will stack lots of might from “Compenions Might” & from sword autoattack. “Predator Onslaught” increases your damage by 10% & 5% Pet, also you can inculde 5% more damage from “Bountiful Hunter” and 10% from “Steady Focus”.

Rotation:
I’m not sute: Begin with GS 2# maybe followed by 3# switch to Sword AA + Offhand (depending on situation) . . . go back to GS ?! Here I need some advice

Pets:
I choose Alpine Wolf and Drakehound, because they have both the conditions to activated “Predator Onslaught” on F2 and on Leap attack (Criple)

Healing Skill:
Healing Spring or Troll Uguent

Utility Skills:
On Dungeons: Frost Spirit, Signet of Stone (If love the exta thougness and oh shi* button), Signet of the Wild
For speed runs you can change the signets to: Quickening Zephyr, Sick EM

Please give me some constructive Feedback

Regards,
Nepomuk

I’d just use the normal meta build and swap the longbow to a GS if you are so keen on using it.

In your build you are missing out on 100 personal ferocity, 100 precision, 450 pet ferocity. And you can easily keep high duration fury with using warhorn 5 before combat, red moa and rampage as one while swapping weapons in combat.

As for rotation you should use: GS#2, GS#3, swap to s/a, axe#4 and sword auto and axe 4 off cooldown till the boss dies. If you need the block, stun or evade from GS you can swap to it and then try to go back to s/a as soon as possible.

As long as you have berserker gear, spotter, frost spirit and melee, you’re pretty much good to go. Obviously your build does less damage than the optimal one, but I wouldn’t kick you for running that. Other than the dogs, not many people would even notice you’re not running the meta build.

Is there any chance to do the math, is there any Tool or Excel for it?

Use both builds on the golems in the HotM for 30 seconds. There is a DnT excel sheet for recording damage somewhere but I didn’t see it in a quick google.
