Guild Wars 2

Will this combo ever be viable in pvp? If there are any builds that actually make this weapon set work could you please link them?

It’s not the weapon combo’s fault, power builds are just in a weird place for PvP. I have played a lot of power ranger in PvP going balls to the wall with health and having low or no crit damage. It works, just condi tanks are better for higher end play.

I can’t remember the PvP build I played for a few months, but it had 27k health, max power, and I think it was dolyak runes or something tanky. 40% crit chance. It was ok.

I use s/a in WvW all the time. It looks something like these:
One
Two
Or as a weapon swap to longbow.

@ Fluffs with slightly better gear optimisation you would have better armour, same critical damage, more power and only slightly less critical chance.
Solis build though as a power ranger and may give the traits a try with my gear set up.

Edit, don’t happen to know a list of deflectable things do you?

How would you get better power and crit damage than berserker gear? Or did you mean by adjusting the traits?

At any rate, I won’t be changing the gear since it’s all infused ascended, and I use it for both WvW and obviously PvE.

@ fluff
I will pm you and explain what I mean :-)

@Troll
Is this spvp or wvw and what sort of play style do you have?

Again? Anyone have a list of reflect able projectiles since it would be useful to anyone who wants to use offhand axe since popping then cancelling whirling defense can be good

I use Sword-Axe myself.

Its a strong weapon combo in the right hands. I can consistently do 4-7k bursts with that weapon set (not counting sigils) between Path of Scars, Hornet Sting, and Monarch’s Leap.

The best part is the 2nhits from the axe will occur as soon as you hit with the leap.

I used to do the same but now I do it with crippling throw.

Well, like we talked about, dagger is better for u because ur more melee oriented. The extra evade and cripple comes in handy.

I like to stick to ranged more often so I find that the axe is better in my case.
