Guild Wars 2

Hi all. This is the build I’ve been working with in WvW. It’s incredibly glassy, but I’ve had a lot of fun using it. It’s not actually terrible from my experience. I’ve seen similar builds on here, but none of them ever seemed to go in depth to traits ’n stuff.

Basically, pop your damage signets and hit them with Path of Scars. Switch to greatsword and hit them with Maul, which I usually follow up with a Hilt Bash. Past here, it’s really whatever you feel like doing. Greatsword and axe/axe are very defensively oriented weapons, but with this build they can kick out some substantial damage as well. If they use projectiles, it’s fun to use Whirling Defense, but if they’re melee it might be wise to switch to greatsword. Besides the initial attack, this build isn’t very rigid.

Does anyone have any constructive criticism or questions?

As a roamer, you need prepare for not only 1v1 but also 1vx situation. Basically you are guaranteed to be killed if you meet 2+ skilled players. Even in 1v1 situation, your burst is far from taking any condition bunker down quickly enough but you will be melt soon since you have 0 condition cleansing. If you insist on play power ranger, LB seems a necessary weapon combined with GS, at least you can have 3 sec stealth to disengage/engage the battle.

This burst combo works on mobs, but can hardly land on players, that’s the issue. Players know to dodge and stun break even if they get pulled, they won’t lay on the ground let you maul them. If you missed these 2 big hits, you basically have lost and you have to GS3 leap away ASAP, but VS classes who are good at chasing, GS escape is not enough.

Path of Scars kind of sucks against players, because even if they are accidentally pressing either the A or D key, it won’t hit them. It’s good CC versus zergs, but it’s really pitiful for 1v1/roaming.
