Yessss finally! Been looking for some help tweaking my build for WvW. I ran something similar but your build makes slightly more sense.

Very interesting Beastmastery tree. Opens lots of pet possibilities.

I was considering taking brown bear instead of eagle though just for zergs where it might last a bit longer plus 1 more condi cleanse.

You’ll probabily want Signet of the Wild just so it can safe-cast. I’m looking forward to see how Taunt performs too.

I’m thinking OP had the right idea with running signet of the hunt. I don’t believe signet of the wild will drastically change or improve this build. Personal preference i suppose. I just can’t emphasize enough how important movement speed is in WvW, especially when roaming. You also get the active ability of 150% damage on next attack.

I would personally tend to drop CC on a pet drawing near my Zerg. But that’s something you’ll have to adjust depending if you are roaming or Zerging.

It’s pretty common build.

By the way, if you’re running Remorseless, not slotting Rampage as One is imo a big mistake. Entangle is rarely useful with all the escapes and -% condi duration food, etc. RaO on the other hand gives you pulsing boons and Opening Strike for both you and your Pet every 3 seconds and can be easily 48s cooldown in this build, bringing regeneration which further reduces damage by 5% with Oakheart Salve.

I’d also question pets you take with Beastly Warden and imo useless SotH, but that’s personal preference.

with this u gotta go WHaO/SotP and just all valk/cavalier gear. or whatever works for you.

and run bears if u wanna zerg, they have endure pain.

I see your point with the remorseless trait Rym. How do you feel about Remorseless vs. Lead the Wind in this set up? What is the most viable
option? On one hand, entangle adds fury and removes conditions but on the other, SotP adds more damage and burst.

Edit: My question was silly. You answered it before. SotP + remorseless is the clear winner. Still think SotH is super important for mobilty in WvW though, even though there are way better abilities able to fill that slot.

Hi
Im running OP’s build and currently slotted SotP + WHaO + Resounding timbre(for less cooldown on shout). Would resounding timbre work better then Go For The Eyes since timbre works better with shouts? or is Go for the eyes a must have? Im talking about general wvw roaming and ocational zerging.

Thanks in advance =)

Toby, IMO I think it’s better to use Go For the Eyes for the added blindness. Use Troll Unguent for the added condi cleanse and fury.

Have you ran the numbers on air/fire runes vs the stacking runes you used?

That opening strike with crit on the first shot, +air + fire— hit’s like a truck.

I have a considerably different build, but I have the BM and WS trait lines and face the same mobility issue for WvW roaming. So far, I’ve tried the following solutions:

1) WHa1 + Resounding Timbre (RT) + a flexible 3rd WS utility
2) TU + RT + “Guard” in the 3rd Util slot
3) TU + Go for the Eyes + SotH in 3rd util slot

Each has their advantages and disadvantages. So far, I’m leaning toward option 2, but I’m far from convinced it’s the best solution.
