Guild Wars 2

An interesting WvW build I created for roaming. Works pretty well in 1v1 situations. This build is very dependent on the user sticking close to the enemy and interrupting them. 100% up time on weakness/poison. Does damage to enemy with multiple stacks of confusion, bleed, burn conditions and reasonable amount of physical damage.

Pro:
A lot of conditions(8) and applies it by sets/stacks at a time.
A lot of CC(for interrupts).
A lot of HP(Nearly 30k).
An reasonable amount of physical damage(very good damage against zerker builds).
Two enduring pain.
Good condition cleanse(depending on trait variant).

Con:
Low Defense(only 2.7k).
Not a lot of gap closer(enemy always runs away).
Not much way to block attacks.

Feedback, advise and your experience with this build is appreciated.

That ‘enemy always runs away’ part is what makes this build bad in WvW. You need mobility. Even in 1v1 your enemy can always kite you to reset and wait for you to make too many mistakes.

Try Hammer+Sword/shield or sword/mace. Also, this build would be better if all your stats were celestial I think.
