Guild Wars 2

Can anyone help me come up with one for WvW/PvE? I know It’s sub-par. But with what we DO have, what kind of build are we looking at?

Your welcome.

If you want a gunslinger build, try Condition Dagger Pistol. Don’t bother with P/P.

They both suck, tbh.
Anyway, p/p set is somewhat playable. You can do even decent numbers in pve or wvw (mostly against afk players). Too bad with this set you are pretty much forced to spam unload to do damage, and this means you lack ini for utilities or evasive skills (this last part is not really a problem since this set has NO evasive skills at all, so is not a good idea to use it as a main set in any form of pvp).

P/P has no evasive skills.

Blind and minimal damage. You won’t need the stealth traits as you don’t have a reliable stealth.. and every possibility to regain health is tied into that. I honestly can’t come up with anything other than pure glass cannon(s) with haste and mug damage, and praying for the target to die prior to you dieing. Berserker gear, focus on damage for Unload and critical rate for unload (there are traits) with the 10% additional gun damage.

No escapes, no dodges, poor stealth, not very good overall.

DISCLAIMER I wouldn’t recommend this build for anything serious. I threw it together if you really, really, reaaaally insist on the thematic approach of a gunslinger.

It’ll work in pve. Everything works in pve. But people may mock you.

Spam 3 for damage, weapon swap for initiative. Haste for faster pew pew shots, use signet of agility to get your endurance back if needed. Switch in shadowstep for a infiltrator’s signet if you are concerned about condis or mobility. Use whatever sigils and runes you prefer. Don’t use this build seriously.

Bah, made comments to Nettle’s build and what I would do different and why – but screw that. Here is what I’d do:

Weapon swaps with energy sigils + vigor + Bowl of Orrian Truffle and Meat Stew (only PvE/WvW) has given me enough dodge I never needed to use Signet of Agility. That frees up space for the much needed condition remover of Shadow Step.

Also consider “Uncatchable” as important as you need some control and that trait gives you that on this high dodge build. I could solo Champions in my sleep with this build (which I would be, due to how long Champions take with the mediocre DPS of Unload).

But as Nettle said, play it for fun, but you can’t use P/P competitively. The second your target has a block/evade/interrupt/invuln/reflect/teleport to add against their dodges against your predictable unload and they don’t suck, you stand no chance. You’ll understand once you face your first Guardian.
