Guild Wars 2

I have a full set of Zerker & Valk, thinking about how much I should mix and match.
I want to go as full glass as possible, but I noticed a huge improvement in my arena duels when I swapped to Marauder. Maybe it’s just my mediocre reaction speed, but it allowed to not get gibbed before I could hit my stun break.

Are there any good rules of thumb on how much burst most classes can do in <1s or something like that? Warriors (and maybe longbow rangers while skirmishing) are really the thing that gives me the most 100-0 problems.

Mara is much more superior compared to valk

anything above 15k is adequate.

I go anywhere from 16k to 19k. Mara is a great choice, I personally use Mara/Soldier/some other stats.

The amount of health needed is related directly to how much condition cleanse you carry, coupled with access to dodges and stealth along with your ability to use the same in game.

As with any of condition cleanses, vitality , toughness and dodges I really do not rely on the consensus of others. What I do is overkill in as many of these as possible and then scale back to a number I find comfortable with my own playstyle.

Added to that the weapons you choose factor in as well. As example If I am using SB off hand for mobility than why not use Sentenils SB? You are not relying on it for a lot of damage and just swapping to it can add to your health in a pinch and mean the difference between a safe exit or being downed.

I use mara weps, valk armor, bers/valk trinkets with a berserker ammy. Gets me very nice stats.

once thief hit around 17k hp pool in WvW you basically become unkillable assuming you know all match up.
