Guild Wars 2

Heyho,

Melandru seems to be a common choice fo zerging WvW

But do you recommend Melandru over Lyssa in group, solo roaming WvW?

My ult would cleanse every condition every 48secs with sigil recharge trait.

Against condition engieers and necros this could be a huge advantage (see perplexity rune stacking etc.)

Iv’e ran Melandru since last nov as a solo roamer, I don’t like being situational or having to rely on my elite to cure condis whe the combination of food/dogged/and Melandru can do it for me, freeing up space elsewhere.

Lyssa here _

I’ve used both, atm the prefer Melandru cause it makes me almost immune to CC. Lyssa is great for short burst in WvW and give you higher crit chance. I used to use it with SoS. Pop SoR just before diving into the mess to get all the boons, burst as much as I can, then SoS and high tail of it. Fight around the outside a little until CD and repeat.

You can also go with Hoelbrak runes. Power based with +20% Might duration, chance to gain Might on being hit, and -20% condition duration on you.

I tried Hoelbrak and regretted not having that extra few % to -condi dur and I deffinitely missed the -% to stun dur

in wuvwuv i like melandru for the condition no-management. in spvp i use lyssa for many reasons, but the fullcleanse + allboons part wins games when used at the right time.

melandru wvw, and lyssa pve pvp (but i love hoelbrak for non-wvw stuff)

Melandru WvW (consistent pressure), Lyssa PvP (require get out of jail free card and quick survival, also for safe stomp alternative).

Scholars PvE (Damage, always).

There.
