What is the best build/equips for dungeons ?
And I’ve seen thiefs spamming 20k Heartseeker at lvl 75. Always depends on the situation. Warrior brings more buffs and AoE damage. A buffed thief brings more singeltarget damage and a few tricks, like stealth and smokefields. But I don’t know if we need another thread about thief vs. warrior dps.
Should it be a berserker build ?
Well, that depends on you. Do you want to invest some time, run with friends/guild, run the dungeons multiple times, learn the mechanics and master the game? Then it should be a berserker build. Always. On every class (very few exeptions).
If you usualy WvW/PvP and just want your Dungeon Master, use whatever fits your playstyle.
Honestly I love my Signet of Malice condition build, With a mix of Carrion and Rabid and Healing power, 500 Healing is enough.
Going 0/0/30/20/20 or 5/0/30/20/15 the 2nd one for extra poisoning. With the new less init cost on Death blossom and SoM getting a very small boost, it has made this build more useful.
SoM will gain you around 100-130 health per hit, that mean in dungeons its GREAT! b.c NPCs will staying in you Caltrops (lets say 3 mobs) per hit you being healed for (at 125 health per hit from SoM lets say) 375 per sec, add the dodge roll caltrops another 375, then 2 deathblossoms for (each DB lets says hits 2 foes x2 DB for 12 hits total) another 1500, they now have 18+ stacks of bleed and you where being healed 1500 from DB and another 375×2 for each second (lets say 3 seconds) for a total of 3750. After that you CnD to heal for even more b.c you have the trait Shadow’s Rejuvenation for another 300+ health per second. Stealth for 3 seconds for a grand total of 4650.
Remember, that was against 3 foes and you didnt hit all of them all the time.
With 5+ foes your healing 5k per second and 15k + over 3-4 seconds, then add dagger storm, its just insane the amount of health gain.
Make sure to have Runes of Undead and some extra toughness (thats what rabids is for) and the carrion for some extra Health. the Apothecary is good to, but have less CD, I would say a couple trinkets for the healing power is good enough.
A word of Warning, this build is amazing only for PvE and Dungeons, for PvP/WvW there are far better builds.
SAB or RIOT
