Was looking for a build that would take heavy advantage of Pulmonary Impact.
I’ve been trying for a while to come up with something, but it seems like I cant get anything impressive out of it.

Any ideas?

Difficult to propose a build Pulmonary Impact then it is not working for example with Hook Strike and Reflexive Strike.

Was tested last beta.

Pulmonary impact is based entirely on power. So just stack as most as you can.

For the rest of the stats, you could go full PVT.

Some guys posted screenshoots of hitting for close to 4k with PI.

Then again, has the same issue as the older PU Mesmer WvW build. If no one is attacking you, you can kill anything.
Plus you can get auto-attacked to death.

Agreed with all that. I also think we’re so of pigeonholed into escapists absolution for some sort of condi clear.

This trait has issues and often doesn’t fire when it should. When it works it hits for 3500 on moderately armored players with 2500 power. Unfortunately it is completely unreliable in our testing.

I think sometimes lag kicks in and the PI check is done before the interrupt. So even though a player or NPC gets interrupted, PI just doesn’t go off or isn’t reported in the combat log.
