Guild Wars 2

Lately I’ve been messing around with a P/D build (30/0/20/20/0) in pretty much all the aspects of game and I’m loving it. So far I geared myself with all Carrion armor and weapons, Undead runes, Force sigils, blah blah. Do you think going for the WvW accessories, so Power+Vitality+Toughness is a defensive overkill? Maybe I should just get everything Carrion and just learn to be even more hard to hit?

Any input appreciated, thanks.

I’ve gone for Carrion in all slots including jewelry. For the Sigils, I’m using Agony for bleed duration on the pistol, and for offhand, using Corruption, to get the stacking condition damage with every kill. Been working well for me.

Working well in solo PvE or WvW?

Both. I mostly do solo PvE, and when out in WvW, it’s usually solo or small groups and working well in both cases. I feel pretty confident taking any 1v1, as well as many 2-3v1’s.

Carrion all the way. My P/D build is a bit different than yours at 20/0/20/0/30 but I also use carrion gear with undead runes on it.

However, another attractive option (IF you’re running my stealth/blind/bleed/repeat build) is going 2x Afflicted/Centaur/Krait runes. This pushes your bleed duration through the roof, and the extra ticks of bleeding you get from the duration increase have a large effect on overall damage.
