Besides PVE, which doesn’t really require much, I tend to spend time in WvW trying to hunt down lone enemies. Not that I don’t follow the odd mob to attack something, but it’s not much fun and my fps goes from 60 to 25-30 with all that going on, which I find annoying.

Unfortunately, most lone people I find either run away, or call backup. My movement speed is pretty awful considering the distance people can see, so running them down is meh. Mostly the ones I engage are the ones who have friends nearby, but in the time it takes to both deal out DPS and do stupid circling dances trying to keep in range and facing them, their allies usually arrive and I get drowned in control effects and die. The most irritating thing of all is that often I do get them downed, but not defeated.

So far I’ve mostly used axes or a greatsword. I tried a hammer but even NPC’s think my damage output is funny. Swords I occasionally try, maces I’ve ignored because the traits for them don’t seem that useful. In fact, toughness/healing in general doesn’t seem to do much for me; I still take plenty of damage and heal too poorly to matter a whole lot.

At the moment I’m on 30/0/30/0/10 (it’s incomplete – level 54 or so – but I test it in sPVP) and I don’t like it that much. Not bad for PVE but meh for killing people fast and tanking their backup seems pretty much impossible.

30/30/0/0/10 seemed a bit better, but I still had trouble actually hitting them. There’s so much dancing around, and when I use my movement impairing skills, it really feels like there’s far less effect on them than theirs have on me. So I’m not sure if I should be trying to increase DPS or snares at this point. I’m used to games where people take waaay less of a hammering to die – can they just not be killed as fast as I’m trying to achieve?

Maybe something like 10/30/0/0/30 and as much precision as possible would be better? Or do I need to fill up my utility slots with snare skills?

try out this spec:

I use it for soloing and it works really well!
