I’ve been 80 for awhile now and have been using a glass cannon GS/LB build since I started but I’ve been considering switching to a more defensive/support build for dungeons and WvW.

So far, my experience with dungeons in full zerk armor has been sub-par, most of the time having to resorting to my LB and kiting like mad. As for WvW, I almost never get the chance to use my GS without being downed instantly. I’m looking for a more optimal build for PvE/WvW that’s more defense wise.

Also, I would appreciate any feedback on my current glass cannon build: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIQQJARTjkOxutO2QMxBAjiiA68AKmaSpot7A

switch healing skill to adrenaline surge or whatever was the name. the healing signet is fine for signet builds and low levels, but doesnt cut it at lvl 80 anymore. might be interesting on a full regen build, but thats definately not your choice.

i fear we will look back to this day and remember the good old wvw as it is now – Jan 2015

If I switch out Healing Signet for Healing Surge, I’d have to switch my Deep Strike trait for something else, would Rending Strikes be viable?

try this I use it in PvE. You are a might machine. 25 stacks on you and 18+ on allies without duration runes. You even grant aoe might when you rez someone. You also provide weakness, crowd control,/defiance removal, constant regen, swiftness between battles, and you hit hard.

You can use knight or soldiers 6pc, knight weapon and zerker rest. 1850 toughness and the rest in power/crit/crit damage.

Hey all,

Take a look at this one build
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIEQNAseUjgOJvNPWPMxBE0DsILEwThkI9oMQj0A;TkAqoMRJiyGlLKZULOGYMDB

Im using it now in WvW, after my GS glass cannon build.

Using Vitality, Healing Power, Condition Damage stats for armor and trinkets.
And Rune of Necromancer on Vitality and Heal Power and…. Fear Duration – that im using especially when resurrecting my teammates.
Have about 30k HP and nice healing with my shouts. Great survivability, but low damage, however it compensated by condition damage.
So im not afraid of thief’s with ‘one shot’ builds, can easily deal with defensive guards, have no trouble with mesmers – than i had in GS glass cannon build.
Also, sword can be changed by berserk axe with sigil of intelligence, and rifle by great sword with sigil of superior blood.
