hi guys
i want to share with you another build i theorycraft and came up pretty good
video is being rendered and will be up soon
here is the build :
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vZAQJAWVn8MBFOhlOBGmCkmiFfCzrJsEiCbBgXTAaeAmAjgA-TJBFABiXGggHAQbHCAAuCAAA
i am using unique runes (watch the vid to see which one
)
kidding i will tell you – rune of the surging
concept of the build:
staff is good weapon while in team fight
- AA hit like a truck (but little bit less then Sword) and is whirl finisher – so look for combo fields
- WC – weakness is always good to negate dmg and its whirl finisher
- DA – remove immobilize, heal if evades for 450 and remove 1 condition while cripple my enemy
- DS – mainly used in the right time to prevent some burst dmg skills
- VAULT – huge aoe dmg skill with leap finisher with small healing of 450
lots of dodges like the S/D build but the healing skill and invigoration precision do all the difference
signet heals for 132 per attack which means AA full chain plus crit from both sigils count as 8 attacks thus potential of 1056 healing
and trait IP heals 15% of crit dmg and with 60-80% crit chance most of your attacks will crit so AA chain can do above 6k dmg which means +900 healing
the blood sigil heals for 453
so total heal from full AA chain is 2409 heal – AMAZING isnt it?
vault can heal around 800-1450 hp
and what more amazing is if it cleaves you will heal your self per enemy you strike
so vault can heal you for 4-6k hp if you hit 4-5 enemies. but usually probably 2 so 2k hp
now for the second concept – shocking aura, stun, daze, kd control – this is what you get to control you enemy
elite skill will daze, launch with 5-6k dmg
steal will daze
reflexive strike will KD
and shocking aura for 5 sec can stun twice if the enemy stupid to attack you without stability
all of this open you big window to burst with vault and even just AA chain which cost no initiatives
for defense you have 6 dodges, 2 evades skills, 12 condi cleanse (dodges, evade, SS ,signet) 2 break stun (which one is on 15 sec cd!)
careful though dont try to melee brainless your enemy. but the healing will gives you some time to endure the dmg and the CC ability also
with group fight its amazing so far (but i am not high tier player so cant comment on it)
some class and build you will have to use the SB first as you will need range (so sometimes i take p/p and bound with me with few more twicks to the build)
hope you like the idea , try it and comment
video is up soon – build commentary and short gameplay scenes to show the build strengths
