Guild Wars 2

Looking for a power-based WvW roaming build (no condi) with a bit more survivability.

Since the recent patch I’ve only touched full rabid condi warri and it’s fun but I really miss a power-based build…

I recall mace/sh + GS being a thing a while ago where you set up the mace stun combo and proceed into HB but I want to know with adrenal health & other stances would running full Cavalier’s be viable since you’d be getting quite a bit of regen from pulling off F1’s etc?

I am currently using full zerkers.

expect the new wvw warrior power meta build to hit the scene any day now – working on the last details / min max. pro scrapper / dh already got rekt repeatedly against someone running it first day, looks very promising. will let this forum know when it’s out.

You want a power build with a bit more survivability? You can just keep ur zerker gear and sub in a few trinkets/accessories with cavalier….marauder…whatever gear that has 2 damage and 1 tank stat.

I mean what utility skills are you used to using? that’s really the easiest way to add a ton of survivability to ur build. Ur running defense trait line….so from there you can add another endure pain for 2 max. You can add a berserker stance for condi/adrenal sustain. You can add a healing signet on the offchance ur using something else. Don’t know what ur used to using. So I’m assuming you want something like full glass canon zerker…..but with a bit ‘more’ survivability…tinkering with utility slots and traits and subbing in some different accessory in those 6 spots is really the best route imo. Using a completely different armour base gear really doesn’t make sense for roaming imo. Youcould go marauder I guess since that is less of a difference between zerk. I would take a bit more vitality and damage over alot more tougness (cavalier) given that ur primary death dealer is likely to be from condi (but again thats based on what kind of trait lines and build style you want to play)

Since when did we ever have any meta wvsw builds for roaming?

Ya well power works until the time when everyone is running super tanky sustain, mobility builds. Then it stops working.

Ya well condi works until the time, everyone on map realizes you are running it and starts running condi clears and focusing you down.

If you play against scrubs these are 2 scenarios you probably never see. In which case anything works.

Super sustain Power is like Zerker GS A/S with defender runes. Trait CI, Clear condi on Swap and eternal Champ.

Thanks for the info. I didnt know about Defender Runes before. I think i would just change stat my condi set for a zerker or marauder with Defender Runes. Adrenal Health + Defender Runes + Healing Signet – how good do you think is that?

Ridiculous sustain is something like this you can fill in the gaps. It’s incomplete build to give you an idea.

I’ve been thinking about the defender rune as well.

How’s the difference in damage though? Compared to runes like strength?

It’s less damage I would run them on Vanilla Warrior and maybe a trash zerker set bought with badges or Karma instead of deleting str runes. It’s less dammage loss if you run vanilla warrior.

Think though 4K heal every 30 seconds when you block and stacks of regen every time you block. The defender runes probably add 5k additional healing every 30 seconds.

Add leeching, Blood, Omn ghost or mango pie its like 7k-8k aditional healing every 30 seconds.

I’m currently running Berserker with Mace/sh and GS

-Mango pie
-Defender runes
-Draining sigil
-RR
-Leeching
etc

It’s pretty kittened
