Guild Wars 2

HI all

Ive played Condi Mallyx and Power shiro/glint builds in pvp, with each obviously having some weakness or another. What i would like to ask the experienced pvp’ers here is which build would you recommend for SoloQ/DuoQ matches. I dont play premade, i mostly solo/duo and even in duo i rarely use TeamSpeak.

Consequently communication between team members can be a little slow. What build should i use that would the most useful in the majority of cases where i dont know the skill or team composition.

Thanks

The mallyx build works better in the most situations .
Power is good but mallyx has boon removal and resistance.

Condi (except if the enemy is stacking lots of eles/necs, then go power).

mallyx/dragon stance, i don’t like shiro it’s a bit selfish than dragon stance,and in glint you can stack up 18/25 might in short time. eles are not that challenge if you rotate well and stack up might before engage..relenting assault bring you at 18/25 stack of might when you are in glint for break through diamond skin and then overload them with conditions swiching to mallyx.
i generally play solo q..and this build it’s really nice for my play stile, generous sustain,great mobility,good pressure,high condi pressure..stack up 13 confusion for what them suicide it’s quite fun^^..

Yeah, checking for DS Ele/Corruption Necros on the other team is the first thing I check. You also kinda rely on your teammates more when playing power Rev, and for solo queue that’s sketchy. But man isn’t playing zerker Glint/Shiro fun! With a competent team you can top 750k damage or more quite easily. Condi spam will make you /cry though.

Thanks people

Shiro is so much better in most cases though.

Phase Retreat is one of the most OP skill in existent. Around 6 secs cd (30 energy takes 6 sec regen), gives you endurance worth of 1 dodge, breakstun, remove Chill/Cripple Immob. Combine this Stability on dodge, UA, Shield, you can basically be untouchable for a long time.

Tbh this skill is way over the board. Any equivalent skill on other class has around 40~60 secs of CD. The endurance regen part should be removed entirely.

Also don’t forget the infamous 100% succeed stomp -> dodge roll for stab + imposible odds. (Fortunately quickness is getting a nerf in next patch so Chrno and Rev can stop being an invincible reviving bots)

Just 2 things
If you roll all day you actually won’t kill squat so is a bit pointless.
In fact you don’t see anyone doing this ;-)

dodge roll + IO – > is a safe stomp against low-midtier because a decent team can put 3 CC on to save the downed (or stealth him). Is a 100% only in solo, but then there are plenty other classes that can do so :P
