Hi!

So i was wondering what you guys do.

At the moment, i run a tanky condition DB build (full carrion gear) which i find extremely effective for PvE/Dungeons. I feel this build doesn’t perform as effectively in WvW however. I’d much rather use a glass cannon build with a berserker set or perhaps a venom p/d build. This would require changing traits, skills and armor sets…

So do u guys bother changing? or do you simply keep the same everything for PvE/Dungeons and WvW?

I run a venom share/bleed spec build for dungeons but I can trait it out for a high regen, bleed spec for WvW. I use the same gear, Rabid, with some carrion mixxed it and it’s fine for me.
I don’t have to respec at all.

I’d either build for what I consider my primary environment, or find some trait distribution that can be adjusted to either one without reset and with minimal gear switch. P/D would run fine on condition gear, but your trait distribution is more important as it likes the 30 points in shadow arts more then anything else.

I switch between a p/d+sb condition build with full carrion for dungeons and a s/d+sb glass cannon build for everything else. Retraiting is only around 3.5 silver (obviously the new set of gear can be a bit pricy but it’s worth it imo)
