Guild Wars 2

Post your PVP builds here!

Hambow is still darn good.

I’ve been testing out a trollish Rifle – Sw/Sw power build that has been treating me with surprising success lol

Condi X/Bow is still the way to go for SoloQ.

why is hambow still considered the go-to? Can someone please link me some post-patch builds that are tried and tested? arcing arrow nerf, pin-down nerf, crit damage nerf. Maybe im missing some rune/sigil/trait combos but i just dont see how this is still the best build? Enlighten me.

Was anyone expecting that new worthless for spvp grandmaster traits would give warriors new builds when warriors are still forced to invest 20 points in defense. AFAIK SPVP didn’t change at all for the warriors. Only things that changed were PVE.

can someone link me the hambow build

With the recent patch, Full krait runes with shout heals and 0/10/30/30/0 actually is really nice. You tank and deal same condi dmg as you would with the same 1.5k condi dmg you would get before the patch as a condi warrior. And with the new patch a full condi build is squishy compared to its old with only 100 more condi then what it used to. Mind you for shouts i run dual swords/sword and shield.

Makes you a pain when a group outnumbers you and allies or solo.

Why do you need 20 in defense?

Cleansing Ire, probably.

My problem with krait runes is the range of the 6th set ability, I was testing on the golems, and it really has a terrible range; about 480 centered around you.
