Guild Wars 2

So with this build I have had the ability to hit the upwards of 800k in a full PvP match in multiple occasions. (I will toss those screen shots later on)
It provide support, boons and survival/sustain.

It is a very mobile play style and requires active upkeep with your chain skills.

Requires – Assassin / Glint

Sword / Shield
Hammer

I will be posting multiple screenshots over time.

Here is the start of the screenshots ~

What if i say that its terrrible build?

I would say you seem rather salty.

Salt has nothing to do with it.

Your signature, went right over your head, eh?

As for why you believe this is not a viable build please feel free to post back-up behind statements.
Also due to my experience and my play style I find this build to work like a charm. I enjoy trap settings.

Meta? you haven’t fought a good daredevil 2-3 hits i’m downed

Terrible traits. Lack of defense. You will die to anyone competent if they just look at you. All you have is evade from UA and hammer. 0 blocks.

It’s pretty dmg orientated.
What do you do against conditions?

Pretty much the above. Your trying to run a similar build to sword/shield + staff, but I guess you like the hammer. The staff build works because of weapon set evades and blocks on shirt enough cool downs to make it work.

I’d imagine most competent players will burst yout down in no time

I pretty much main in Glint, Sword/Shield + Hammer.
Hammer #3 Evades as well, Shield tanks the damage while I block all in coming damage.

I don’t die as easily as you might think. Also as weird as this may sound, when using the assassin traits (#3 skill) with the sword I mainly use that as a evade, damage is just a bonus.
Previously I was running Axe, but the shadow step wasn’t worth it, thus I swapped back to Shield.

Seklies, please use http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/ to post your build. Being able to hover over traits and see their descriptions is convenient, and I have no idea what equipment you’re using.

Your build is actually also a standard PVE build – it’s what I plan to use when I fully unlock Herald. Very strong and versatile DPS build.

May I ask how you fair against conditions in sPVP? Conditions aren’t very common in PVE, but I imagine you’d have trouble against condition builds without support from allies.

Ah thank you, yeah not to familiar with GW2 stuff these days. Just came back after a 3 years break if you want to call it that.
Well, for conditions I generally allow myself to drop to 20% hp then I use Glints #6, the heal skill(I let this actively run in certain fights, then I pop the chained skill to it) which takes damage and turns it into heals.
Outside of that I use the assassin legend heal and combo it with the #3 for swords which then heals as well, plus evades incoming attacks, from that point I bunker with the shield.

For the most part 1v1 wise I rarely go down, and in team fights this build really pushes groups back.

Glad to know someone is enjoying some success with this build, it’s always nice if the difference between my PVE and PVP builds are minimal.

I imagine that your fights were mostly 1v1 or alongside team-mates? Do you escape with the Assassin’s Super Speed (Shiro’s Impossible Odds) if you get stuck in 2v1, or do you stay on the point and bunker up in spite of being outnumbered?

PS: what equipment are you using?

For escaping I actually use Glint, the #8 applies speed to the character, then I chain that skill (#8 again if in order originally given) which drops a on-going aoe. If they still follow me from there I will switch to Shiro traits then.

I usually run matches with one friend, we run matches from morning till night for the most part(for the past few days). Gave us a ton of time to really get down and learn the new spec’s and classes.

You use sword 3 as evade!?! You should be using sword 3 as your main source of burst. If you time it and line it up correctly, it will nearly one shot nearly anyone who is glass unless they get lucky with defensive procs. It will at the very least put them on the back foot while you finish them.

I don’t think the axe shadow step is working properly seems to bug out a lot. I have to admit I haven’t really messed with hammer much since early betas, I might give it a go tonight but I will really miss the utility of my staff.

I know that, and I still aim to achieve the burst from it, but I do not run Shiro unless forced to. It is a personal preference.
Hammer allows me to cast from afar which I am use to with my Mesmer. Generally I don’t allow people to get close enough to me while using Hammer to have to use my Shiro setup.
