Guild Wars 2

I used to run the normal 10/20/0/30/10 Boon build taking advantage of Zerk’s Power and HF, but as we all know they’ve moved them. =/

I refuse to go buy new armor, runes/rubys or trinkets because I’ve spent enough on this char over the months so this is what I’ve come up with: http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=Vt;4RKFO0Z4BL-60;9;4JJ-T-18-49;257B;1O-F0;2TutbUPbSn-FW0-T6;3wV1X6Y9ZH4Ma9g0QN-5V8aNX8aN;9;9;9;9;8792;2Ek3G

I used this build in the new Pirate dungeon amongst others and did surprisingly well. I crit often, though not as much as before due to no HF, but with this build I still maintain 25 stacks of Might and Fury and Swiftness almost always.

For me, this build lets you deal very good dmg and allows you to take some hits and buff your group and not be a liability as you still have plenty of time to exit the battle and switch to Rifle and continue to help while waiting for CD on Healing Surge. I also make sure to dodge as often as possible anyway.

I don’t claim this build to be perfect as none are and it’s not for everyone but it seems to work well for me and my play style plus I’m not going to allow A-Net to make me shell out more gold for a new build. I refuse to do that with my war.

Please feel free to let me know how I can improve this build as all criticisms and suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

I used sonic boom so I have done a new build too.

Although I have tried the builds 30/25/0/0/15 and 30/0/0/10/30 I don´t like them for pugs. I think that berseker builds are good if you are going to farm cof or you know your team. Moreover I prefer to have one range weapon that I can use when I need it, so greatsword and rifle are perfect for me.

Although I think that your build is good, I think it would be better use 0/25/0/30/15 because you have about 10% more damage.

I you take 25 and not 20 points in arms you will do 10% more damage with greatsword and with rifle and you will only lose the 10% bonus of greatsword that you had in arms, so you get more range damage.

In your build you have 200 more power, but with 25 stacks of might, you will have about 4k of power so 200 power more is 5% more damage. I think it is better put 15 points in discipline, you do 15 % more crtic damage wich is about 5% more damage too, but your signets recharge faster and you can swap weapons faster.

There is other possibility too. You can use axe/mace and rifle, although I prefer use the other build because I have a legendary greatsword,xD.

In this build you use 30/10/0/30/0
