Guild Wars 2

Is this build still good? I love Hammer/GS with leg specialist, but it seems that it will be nerfed with the new trait system.

Now, to take Leg Specialis, I am forced to choose a supportive trait line. -.-

Do you guys have any build that can replace the old one?

As much as we like leg specialist, it’s not actually a necessity. The cripple more than allows you to hit most of your gs and hammer skills.

Thank you!

Good where? In WvW? Sure, since mobility is king there. sPvP? It’s still a weaker version of Shatter Mesmer, Thief and Medi Guard.

I would say go with

The reason why people are so pessimistic about the patch is that we are so dependent on CI, that we lost the ability to see outside the box. The truth is CI is no longer needed with shout + bawler recovery + trooper rune, and Shout gives us very good survivability, it also gives us adrenaline generation. It should be enough to replace defence line. Lets face it, CI is not very good at condi cleanse without LB anyways.

With the new Strength line, we get 40% increase damage, lots of fury, lots of might. I believe we will do ok. Both in WvW and PvP.

CI isn’t just good for the cleanse, adrenaline on hit is amazing as well. There is no way you’re making full use of berzerkers power without it.

Also just noticed they nerfed the adrenaline gain upon using a shout. Sneaky, sneaky…

Adrenal health is not needed when shouts gives close to 2k health. I am well aware they nerf the adrenline gain per shout, however, To the limit give adrenaline as well so I would say it’s a wash, if thats not enough there is always burst mastery.

WvW.

The reason for the Restoration Strength is Healing Surge is becoming a shout after this Tuesday patch.

I agree with tactics over defense now. I’m not sold on passive shake it off. It a lot of time is wasted at the beginning of the fight. Or clears condis that are of no threat.

I think EA would be better.

And for pvp if your not using a gs and a bow instead burning arrows is way better.

Did they? On the other topic it says you still get 5 adrenaline.

We get 8 adrenaline now, so 5 is a nerf.

Thanks for clarifying. I won’t notice as I hardly ever use shouts pre-patch ^^
