Guild Wars 2

Anyone have a link to a good Hambow build, or the standard build for SPvP? I want to try it.

i’m interested as well.

Hi, the new hambow warrior build that I personally use is:
20 Strength – Great Fortitude, Distracting Strikes
0 Arms
20 Defense – Dogged March, Cleansing Ire
0 Tactics
30 Discipline – Signet Mastery, Destruction of the Empowered, Burst Mastery
with Lyssa Runes, and Fire/Force sigils. Utilities: Healing Signet, Dolyak Signet/Endure Pain/Fear Me, Berserker Stance, Balanced Stance.
That being a said, a lot of these traits are optional and can be swapped out based on personal preference. A lot of warriors also have other variants of the trait setups, the only thing common in the traits being the 20 points into the defense line for Cleansing Ire. Play around and see what works best for you.

this is the build i run nowadays.

26k health helps me survive messy team battles.

the 30 health / second from dolyak runes makes me kinda feel like having clerics set health regen from healing signet.

my goal is to survive and bash some heads silly so this works well for me.

Sory for saying,but what i Really do not understand is..Compared to gw1 we have so few skills available,so few traits to select from.How can it be that you ask for a hambow build ? Isnt it more rewarding if you make your own build and try it out ?

Also seriously disliking the fact that you can view people’s exact builds in spvp.I mean..if i want to keep a secret,why arn’t i allowed to do so without people copying the same builds allover the place ? I honestly think its a bad move to let u spectate players and see their traits,weapons,sigils,runes,amulet…I mean,you work on a build,test out different things play some matches,try your builds vs all classes 1on1 aswell to see the weakness and strengths of it,then when youre finally done you will see it being copied all over the kitten place because their to lazy to come up with something themselves.I dont like it.

well the way i see it, anyone can copy your build and attempt to use it.

but only you can utilize the build to the way you intended it to be.

It’s just a fact of competitive games that there is always going to be something that is the most effective option for a certain role. Right now, Hambow is pretty much the best option in the current meta. Making your own build is all well and good if you’re playing hotjoin, but if you’re joining SoloQ or TPvP it’s just rude to your team if you run something weaker than the meta. It’s really annoying to lose because someone on your team keeps dying because they have a weaker build.

What’s always confuses me about this game is that people seem unwilling to shift the meta themselves. In most games people try to counter the current meta at some point but here people just whine on the forums and demand X thing is nerfed.

0/20/20/0/30 is probably the most standard
