Guild Wars 2

Before i go through with what could possibly be the most stupidest idea since me going through that skunk infested vacant lot, i need some opinions and/or tips about a pve/wvw? build that i’m cooking up

Basically, what i’m aiming for is to deal some damage while taking hits. Now i know that it’s not all about toughness and you can dodge and whatnot, but there are times when you really just have to man up and take the hit (i/e ran out of endurance, rooted, etc) and i want to be alive after taking the said hit. To avoid financial ruin, i also built this around stuff that i already have and ones that i can get for karma, hence the gear selection.

I’m also planning on using this for WvW too. But i’m not confident enough with my “skills” (if you can call it that) to say that it works in WvW. Hell, i may have been running a build which i thought was bad that another player just dominates with. So i guess feel free to try it yourself if you’ve got the gear and/or money to blow for it.

well…. let us begin
1) axe5 whirl is currently broken and does not spread the fire anymore. I recommend swd/shield or swd/mace.
2) no tactics for 1200 bow. So no 1200condips ( not that it would be working with the current getup…. bringing us to point three…)
3) That armor getup is alright for an axebuild, but if you’re gonna go bow and swordmain, seriously consider all rabid armor (5 pieces avail thru temples, cheap on tp) + zerkback acessories. You’ll get that impact power you want, with conditions that still deliver. Try it on pizza (condiextend) + crystal crack (stronger condis). Fullon celestial also works, but you need to have the whole kit for it to be worth the squeeze.

1. The whirl combo doesn’t work anymore?! Well that sucks. I don’t think the damage itself is reliable either. But then again, i already have the axe. So can’t hurt to try.

2. Not sure i get you here. But since you said that it doesn’t work with the current gear, i don’t think it matters if i get it or not.

3. Hmm, i already came from conditions. In fact, i’m running a condition/regen build right now. Wanted to try something different. I also did try to go hybrid. Worked alright in PVE, don’t know about WvW. Cause as i’ve mentioned, i’m not confident enough in my skills to judge whether a build is good for WvW or not.

To see example of the working gameplay of swd/axe + bow pre whirl being broken.

I made that vid months ago . The post was first page on the bug forums for a solid 1 and a half before sinking. Still not fixed.
