Guild Wars 2

Hi,

I have been rocking a sword/shield, but I cannot find a good Trait build for it? Seems like most people are using either Sword/Sword or Greatsword alone.

Please let me know if there is a good trait build for sword and shield so I can continue to use it! I do have grandmaster book unlocked so can use all traits.

I have a sword~shield build that uses GS as the secondary set. It’s somewhere in that thread =)

taking all of the relevant traits for sword with ‘last stand’ and ‘missile deflection’ from the defensive tree. the trick to this WvW build is ‘bolas’ and ‘fear me’ as your utilities. after that run the incredible compact and effective ‘sigil of stamina’ and ‘sigil of rage’

my gear is a hybrid of knights and rabid for lots of defence, crit chance and condition/direct damage.

in WvW i spend a lot of time catching opponents with the savage leap bolas combo, shield bash and bolas melt most mesmers i fight. hamstring and flurry melt thieves really easily. if you use pizza buffs then you can get your bleeds to last a frightening 15 seconds each, but the ratios on the sword main hand are so good that the bleeds are really just icing on the cake.
