Guild Wars 2

I already have and use “Spotter”. I run greatsword/shortbow in PvE, with a focus on precision in my gear. I mainly have my jungle stalker equipped, with a spider or moa as backup. It doesn’t have to be the top meta build, but it does have to be one that I won’t need to change up. I’d like to avoid traits earned in WvW, and not too many that require dungeon completes, since I’ll be running those dungeons without a proper build in place. Some survivability is welcome, because my latency is high enough that I generally don’t have enough warning to dodge telegraphed attacks.

I have a couple of traps and a signet (condi clear, but I swap it out for frost spirit for group events) for utilities. “Rampage as One” is my current elite, but I’m saving up for the nature spirit.

Thanks in advance!

Do you have a prefered trait setup?

Not really preferred, but something like this is what I was thinking about using.

Your build covers all the major bases (traited frost spirit, spotter, cat, melee weapon) as long as you wind up in berserker gear. (Not sure why you specifically don’t want the best PvE build though?)
