Guild Wars 2

Hey guys,

Been messing around with a build recently in both sPvP and roaming WvW ( small group/solo roaming ).

sPvP: http://bit.ly/1qxX8Ik
WvW: http://bit.ly/1milt35

Greatsword is always equipped but I rotate between Sword/Axe, Sword/Dagger and Longbow in my offhand set depending on my mood/the other team. If I use longbow I swap out Pet’s Prowess for Quick Draw.

Between Nature’s Protection, Evasive Purity and Survival of the Fittest, you won’t melt if someone looks at you, condis aren’t a huge problem, you have plenty of evades and plenty of ways to control your enemy, whether through your pet’s stuns/immobs/fears or your GS 4, 5, Axe 4, Longbow 4 etc. Hell, can even take a shortbow if you want a few more evades/cripples/dazes.

It’s not pure zerk, but as far as fun power-builds go, where you also want that little bit of surv, it works wonders for me. Some people take Sigil of Intelligence on GS, I prefer taking Air + Fire, it makes up for the lack of traits in the Markmanship traitline and with 53% crit ( 73% after a weapon swap ) it procs a hell of a lot.

The burst from GS 3 -> 5 -> 2 -> swap to s/a + other pet -> quickening zephyr -> 4 -> autoattack is insane as well, the stun on the GS chained into the stun from your pet, alongside the quickness boon and high-proc rate, high-damage sigils can melt most builds in seconds.

Any suggestions to this build, or criticism is welcome. I’m bored of the usual condi or celestial builds, and to be honest, the marksmanship traitline leaves little to be desired as I’m not a huge fan of the signets.
