Guild Wars 2

Curious which trait lines you think would work better, I’ve seen both suggested but really can’t choose. It’s mostly for solo or 5 man roaming. I run full berserker with speed runes.

First one is 0,20,30,20,0 it seems to give a pretty good pool of initiative, but might lack some wallop.

Next is 0,30,30,0,10 I think this one might do a bit more damage, but I wonder if initiative or survivability might suffer.

Please tell me what you think, I’m open to suggestions.

I like 0/20/30/20/0, allows you to move fast without equipping a signet or runes. With the right gear you can still get a good crit chance.

x/30/30/x/x is good for straight up damage, I didn’t have too much initiative problems with it, but then I run DD.

I’d go with the former for roaming, especially solo, just for the durability, but x/30/30/x/x is fotm build and it does have some nice bits. ymmv.

uhhhhhhhh… you need 30 points in CS. x/30/30/x/0 is fine but I prefer 10/30/0/0/30 for more damage and more utility (at the loss of a little survivability from dumping shadow arts completely).

In case you don’t know, when you’re running the trickery build I mentioned you can steal without anything targeted and you’ll get something like 15 seconds of swiftness on a 21 sec cooldown so you move pretty quickly with that and infiltrator arrows/heart seekers.

If youre full zerker, why the hell are you not 30 in critical strikes on the first build? 0/30/25/15/0 with energy sigils is way good for full zerker. you do lose some sustain from shadows rejuvenation, but youre full zerker so youre not trying to out sustain the fight anyway. You’re looking to get it over with as quickly as possible. (The lost sustain can also be made up with life steal food). You’re much better off using the extra evades to avoid taking dmg in the first place, rather than trying to regenerate it up, especially for a full zerk build.
