Guild Wars 2

Hi there,

Long time no see (coming from a rather long break), if i recall correctly Phalanx Strength was once about giving might to others whenever you got it yourself, somehow now i’m seeing the words “whenever you give might to yourself”, maybe i’m mistaken but it seems once every might was given to others, now is all the might you can apply actively on yourself.

If that’s the case, how come the builds i’m seeing don’t address this limitation, as in the builds on metabattle don’t seem to carry things like “For great justice” or Frenzy or even the trait to apply might on healing skill. So is it enough to just use the 33% might on crit food + the greatsword trait? So is it camping sword time with no axe/mace swap? I’ve only done a couple of runs and yes, i am having a hard time keeping 25 might all around (yes i do have the 6 runes of strength).

Because the GS trait and food have no cooldown and 1s cooldown respectively, you should be critting often enough that you can fit 25 procs within 6+Might duration seconds.

First of all welcome back.

Now I must ask, do you have the expansion? This build works with the Berserker specialization because once you enter berserk mode you will gain Fury, Quickness and Swiftness. I say this because you’re talking about FGJ, so you must come back after a long break. Quickness + Fury enable more Might from GS trait and sigil of strength while using Axe/Mace. Sigils of Battle (used before) are useless now because this build doesn’t have Fast Hands and those sigils were nerfed from 3 to 2 might stacks on swap.

As you might see, the Meta build focuses in getting adrenaline fast (healing skill, signet and head butt) so you can enter berserk, gain Quickness and Fury and thereby give Might to yourself and your party.

Maybe you’re just a bit rusty and need to get used to the rotations again… Or you played FotM with the boon steal instability.

how to hit something 25 times in 6 seconds….

with dumpling…how to hit 19 times and get full procs/second

srsly can u give realistic info……less ego and more fact plz.

with 100% quickness uptime yes this is all probably true per every 6 second interval. but some1 50% slower…no.

can prollly hit 20 might stacks eventually after way more than 6 seconds of whack-a-mole.

Well, if they’re fighting NPCs, a single hundred blades against three enemies will generate 24 might in just 3.5s using just the trait, provided all hits crit. 26-27 with golden dumplings.

^ With Strength runes that gives you 10s per stack. In group PvE you should assume 100% crit chance after party buffs.

Boon duration, 100% crit, and aoe are all that’s needed. If a Herald is present then even less boon duration and Might is needed for party wide capped stacks.
