Guild Wars 2

So I have seen the Regen Warrior build on some youtube videos and I have to say it is an interesting idea. I also don’t see many people playing around with the build, maybe I am just missing those threads but I wanted to get other people opinions on the Regen Warrior build.

Link one of the youtube videos

Sorry at work, here are two links

It is good in certain situations, I tried it and messed around with it and decided it ain’t worth it.

Did you try it at a higher level? I am playing around with it myself as it seems fun. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIIQBdS6QzjJPIFETECA8hqMFKSfot0jyQLNA
I agree it works really good in situations, but with Healing Signet and Adrenal Health I get 500 – 600hp back every three seconds not doing anything and my shouts heal, and I use Shake it off, For Great Justice, and On My Mark. It seems to do well but it has no CC unless you replace FGJ/OMM with Fear Me.

I’ve tried it, It works fine in pve. You can use omniberry pies to leech hp 66% , and cant remember the name but a sigil to leech hp when crit33% might be water. And use axe main hand with the leeching sigil it has fastest attack. Use adrenal healing healing signet. And you can heal pretty good if you have some condition removal like soldier runes…. But for PVP or wvw forget about it. Because you need big healing little healing over time won’t work.

Its not an all around build but if all you do is PVE trash mobs or do certain types of dungeons where that is going to be good enough healing its fine.

A lvl 60 alternative to that build would be a regen banner build. I say alternative because, if you like support and shouts and want to dip into Tactics for reduced cooldowns, you might not like going Tactics and Defense at the same time.

Adrenal Health’s regen is sub-standard but it works however you have to either not use Adrenaline as much as you might want to or need to be able to build it relatively quickly. Some weapons you just want to spam the burst skill but like those videos say, if you go greatsword then what burst? But I like to play with more than one weapon so yeah, that’s not ideal for me.

Adrenal Health regens I believe 360 HP/3sec which is 120HP/sec which is lower than regular regen and doesn’t scale with healing power. If you don’t mind dipping into Tactics and keeping a banner on your tray, you basically get 1.25x better Adrenal Health but also for your whole team. And you can make it better by simply popping a Sigil of Life on one of your weapons.

I often run a regen build, its good for what it does but not amazing for everything. Its strong points are protracted engagements. If you end up stacking enough sorces of regen such as adrenal health, signet of healing, banner regen and possibly even a healing food you will be healing for more than useing a healing skill on CD. The downside is you give up a fair bit to go that far down tactics and defence pariticuarly at the same time. Its good for leveling and general open world PVE and is OK in most dungeons. Its rather bad when you are going to face spike damage however as healing sig does jack all for its activation so I wouldnt use it in structured pvp at all and only for sieges in wvw (you make a good ram operator as you regen alot on top of whatever else your team trys to hit you with)
