Guild Wars 2

I have played almost every power build, almost every toughness build power combo out there and so I thought I would try playing a condition damage build. Well to say the least I was presently supprised with how well this toon works in WvWvW. Here is the build I am running

With the new way of showing your DoT’s it might not look as good as it did before 10/15, but before the patch I was looking as good as a necro as far as dots go. With 135 popping out of the other player so fast it wasn’t funny. This build works best as a multi CD stacking build and even works well aginst players with high clensing builds. just make sure you keep your stacks of DoT’s going. I’ll post more but its 4 am here and I have been playing all night far longer than I usually do as I was having so much fun in WvW soloing others and winning 1/2 of the time (which is a first for me)

PS your second hand weapon can be anything horn to assist with crit, torch for fire damage, and dagger for poison and cripple it really don’t matter as long as you keep pets going as best you can for f2 abilities and roll as much as you can .

Looks solid to me. Quick question: why stone spirit over muddy terrain and why not traited signet of stone? Just the additional toughness?

The reason for the stone spirit is for extra protection. having 33% reduction in damage 90% of the time is great.

3s every 10s… whilst the spirit is alive which is (maximum) 60s/85s… far from 90%…

then you have to factor in the spirit melting in medium-large scale fights (especially so because you havent traited it)

… then add in that… you lack healing spring (rangers best skill in medium-large scale fights) and kittenton of aoe condi cleanses means that condis will be lacklustre in (you guessed it) medium-large scale fights… your build is very bad at anything but roaming (and even then… a necro finds you… you’re screwed… a thief finds you… they steal all your buffs… any player with any common sense finds you; theyll kite you out of spirit range)
