So.. Still no build variety?(wvw)
Condi longbow is still fun and it didn’t eat any nerfs in the last patch.

Unfortunately not, you can play variations and have some luck but they’re not quite as good as the meta builds. Condition builds are even worse off, they’re considerably worse than every other class at applying conditions.
I’d hate to be the guy in charge of describing this situation to higher ups:
“We have countless thousands of build varieties available for each class in the game.” – Dev
“Oh? That’s amazing, we can market around that. How many variations are being used regularly by the playerbase?) – Head Honcho
“…Like…20?” – Dev
Boon duration builds with rune durability, trapper druid is kinda an option.
a mix of signets, glyphs with shouts/survival. You can use lyssa in some builds etc..
Between the optios above of lots of differnt builds and play styles, based on weapons, traits gear, pet options etc…

I don’t see trapper post nerf. Not really worth it. I used to run SB with them and Axe / Torch. I still can’t see it.
The way I run there are only two that work for me They are:
Power/Berserker – built for speed
Sustain/durability rune – built for comfort
Johnny Johnny – Ranger (Ehmry Bay)
Hárvey Wallbanger – Alt Warrior (Ehmry Bay)
because of the flowrish of the condi\ CC spam fest we are still locked into:
- BM line for shouts + rune of the soldier.
- WS and survival skills.
Any other real options for wvw i missed?
Beyond a trapper with trapper runes, not really.
The glyph trait and signet recharges limit them to secondary utility skills.
The spirits offer no condi removal or stun breaks and so are also secondary utility skills.
Doesn’t help when the 2 best elites are a shout and a survival skill.
I will try to come up with something different tonight
Funly enough i consider wvw the part of the game with the most build varity.
I use aheap of differnt builds all with different pro and cons and are good at different parts of wvw in different sized groups
