Guild Wars 2

hey guys and gals,

So do we have an idea of what the main PvE and PvP builds will be?

Metabattle hasn’t added any guides/builds yet.

Don’t just wait for metabattle.

Why not just do everything the old fashioned way? Test out a load of builds until you feel like you need to burn down a hospital. That’s what the people who write stuff on metabattle have to do.

I have 2 builds ready for more play testing. But I wanted to see how different/close they were to other peoples build.

Thank you for your pointless opinion.

No point theorycrafting. Wait till game comes out and how it actually plays. Test stuff by yourself and copy pasting builds causes flu.

Well in that case, here’s the current iteration of my build.

I’ve been doing rigorous testing on all three beta weekends with all trait lines and all legends.

This build just works out the best for me. I’ll still however be conducting lots of experiments once HoT comes out (if I have the time).

I’ll show you mine if you show me yours…

After a whole lot of theorycrafting, testing and applying a little common sense I’m convinced this is the most optimal PvE build for small group content (Fractals and dungeons) in an optimal setup. A few traits can be switched or adjusted depending on the group composition. As a small example, you can swap Bolster Fortifications to Shared Empowerment if might is an issue because you are lacking a phalanx Warrior.
Some of the trait choices might look a little iffy but I’m willing to explain everything if someone asks. On a similar note, if anyone thinks he or she sees a mistake and is able to explain why there is a better option elsewhere, feel free to let me know.
