Guild Wars 2

normally i run a condi survival ranger which i do well with. but with courtyard/TDM being apart of the normal queue now, i am wondering if there are better builds to run just for TDM. any suggestions?

04640 – LB/GS. I use this in normal PvP too. Dueling as well.

im using two builds that i tweek between depending on what i want to do or the types of classes on the opposing team , if they are ranged i used the LB version , if most of my team are Casters/thiefs i use the Carrion setup with a valk.

gs/ A+D , carrion set up<

more evasive on point , provides dodges and condi/chill

Carrion version i would advise against swapping keen edge , its need for the addtional bleed damage and condi clears during a Swoop>hilt<maul.

LB , S+D Valkyire set up.

provides the same as above but a Ranged version , able to go on point for a brief amount of time using Sword+dagger , provides long regen and dodges.

Keen edge can be swapped for

predators instant if your roaming for CC
steadyfocus.

i;ve been using these two and have been winning 7/10 or 2/3 fights so far.
but this set up does require working with team mates and should not be treated as a typical Zerk signet glass build.

Carrion works as a home / point defender also support
Lb version attacks while able to support Home and mid thanks to sword+lighting reflex movement.

advise this is a High skill build , if you can’t time when to defend or use Chill you;ll take massive damage.

also use Lighting reflexes as a Damage source it can trigger Keen edges if their hp is just right , so you don’t have to risk loosing HP trying to over-reach just LR out/avoid a hammer or somthing> trigger it and attack.
