Guild Wars 2

Sup guys, so i have messed around with a couple of builds and i was wondering which you think will be more effective post patch. (Note* Utilities for first build are to my personal preference. If you want, add a suggestion on what you would put.)

First build (purely zerk hammer/sword/shield): http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?vIEQNAS8ejMd05ZdHOewJaAB9QDrCu4yIJUC9h5A-zkyAYLioZCCARQZmKAl8KiGbVrIasKGMV5QUVuweDio1AAIAkEDpAiYZE-w

Second build (Shouts Heal, hammer/sword/shield): http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vIEQNAS8ejMd05ZlHOewJaAB9QDrCuQVYOSPQjBMNA-zkyAYLioZCCARQZmKAl8KiGbVrIasKGMV5QUVuweDio1AAIAkEDpAiYZE-w

Honestly, I think the first build will be great after patch since you have 10% dmg to bleeding foes which pretty much cancels out the 10% crit dmg nerf and adds 10% dmg to non-crit attacks. With the bloodlust sigil fully stacked (which is easy to achieve, just kill adds) you get 3.9k power (as long as you have the signet of might on) and with signet of fury’s active, you hit 4k power and 70%+ crit %. Also, the hammer in both builds with have the accuracy sigil along with the bloodlust sigil. Please give feedback and any suggestions. Thanks!

Whatever you were running pre patch. Nothing really changing other than less burst dmg via ferocity and 2siguls on 2handers.

Something gonna change , healing signet is getting an 8% nerf..

As said, nothing really changes… and tbh 8% reduction on HS is hardly something to worry about.

8% HS does kinda suck, but you can either put in more vit or toughness in your build. I would say 20k health + 3k armor is the norm. Look at the bright side, the one thing HS warrior is from burst, but the burst is going to be a lot lower.

I would say if you want power based, the meta GS + Hammer build is still very good, instead of runes of divinity, I would say melandru or Hoelbrak. Personally I prefer Hoelbrak + sigil of battle (you can maintain 9 stacks of might with that alone).

If you want conditional build, shout heal lb + s s is probably going to be pretty good.
