Also plz my english is bad so easy worlds i’m turc thx)

I’m currently having good success as a back line DPS.
Full zerker with PVT trinkets, hammer for dps and staff for heal and escape (staff 5 for a short dart away)
Use glint and jalis. Glint for mobility, amazing oh kitten heal, and buffs, jalis for stab and defense.

Think of yourself as a heavy dps who protects and buff a the eles and necros.
I’ll try put together a decent build and guide tomorrow.

Ok thanks you …………. any other help plz ?

I doubt it’s min maxed as well as someone will do it, but it’s working very well for me so far.

Essentially, you want to be constantly thinking “am I on the offensive of the defensive”
you can be taking a lot of damage but still winning the fight, and you can be taking no damage but you group is loosing the fight.

If you are winning, you will be in Hammer and glint. You want to keep Elements and Strength Facets up at all times prior to a fight. This provides best Might stacks and swiftness for keeping up with comm.
On engage, you want to turn on Darkness and drop Elements on the melee leap.
This gives best crit chance as well as good AoE condi.

During normal fight, you will be rotating your hammer skills aiming to hit through as many people as possible. Remember Hammer#4 is a dark field, so stand in front of your ranged mates to give them lifesteal (works for hammer #1 too)!

If your ranged starts taking a little bit of damage, pop your heal facet (don’t double click yet) and it will provide a small amount of healing, but your energy will deplete as you have no regen. you might want to drop your other two facets briefly to regen some enegry.

If you get spiked by the enemy focus party you want to hit your heal button twice FAST as this will give you 3s of invuln and major healing. you also want to pop your Gaze of Darkness (the activate after facet). this pulls the mesmers and theifs out of stealth for 5s so your own focus party can kill them.

If the fight starts going badly, but still winnable you want to push your nature, then your elite, then your nature again. this gives a HUGE toughness, swiftness and regen boost, if you need to run, pop elite again for a knockback and gain superspeed.

When you need to tank a bit of damage, througha choke for example, pop Jalis. You can lay down stab, elite for 50% reduced damage from all sources and a heal with retal!
You can dodge for 2 stacks of stab and 5-6s of retal too!

honestly, I rarely use my staff. when I do, it’s for the extra dodge (the sigil of energy ), the heal from #4 and the knockback of #5.

There is a lot to think about as a backline DPS herald, but it’s very strong with great utility. I can easily see it being used in meta, 1 per every ranged party.

What are your main focus in WvW? Is it to be able to roam solo or in a small (PUG) group to cap camps or to make havoc with other small group player or to join in a guild or zerg for more strategic play? Play style might also be different between Eternal Battlefield and those new Borderlands maps depending which kind of server you play on. Higher tier isn’t the same as lower tier server in this regard.

Fizzee gave you good example of a more defensive play style where supportive function is in his or hers main attention for this kind of build from where ranged damage matter most (hammer/staff) together with Heralds boon and supportive features to a group (or zerg).

In wvw i play with big groups . Give me. Build for that plz
