Guild Wars 2

Hi this is a question for a WvW build.

Im currently running GS Mace/Shield power war for wvw and have been using Shield Master for the reduced cd as well as the might on block, however lately ive been considering taking Dogged March instead. It seems im always affected by Chill, Immob or Cripple so Dogged March is guaranteed to proc for the nice 6s of regen (more if you have boon duration like I do).

Plus the 33% condi duration reduction for (Chill/immob/cripple) along with Lemongrass food I use means 53% reduction on those condis.

Sounds interesting. Does anyone use that trait? I’ll prob test It out in wvw after reset.

as soon as you use warriors sprint dodged march doesn´t pay off. Also shield master is very good. So no shield and not running discipline yes take it.
I run strengh, defence,berserker with high boon duration. So i use it.

If you’re running anything with a block (and you are), shield mastery all the way, imo.

Warriors Sprint only helps with Immob. It doesn’t remove cripple or chilled.

But yes I agree that immob is not really a problem since GS3 and GS5 plus Shield 4 all cure immob.

I just feel that I always have some kind of chill or cripple on me and that makes it harder to escape or chase people.

Give it a try, but I honestly think it’s a bad trade for a pittance of health from a corruptable boon and then a 33% reduction to conditions that don’t impede your movement skills (and which can be mitigated with resistance or clears).

The CD reduction on shield, plus might and reflect are just so much more valuable.

If you’re fighting a necro and he outlasts your Berserker Stance, use your gs to gain distance and wait out some of its cd. If you’re already bogged down by conditions, use Healing Signet to get some relief and distance, and swap as much as you can to clear with Brawlers.

Or just work in more condi clear.

Thx I do like the might on block. ill test because I like to see how it feels. Thanks for the replies.
