Guild Wars 2

Hey Guys, so its been pretty much a month since the june 23rd patch and was interested in the direction some of you may have went with Warrior. I for example took a hit and find my old GS Longbow style that i been playing for more or less 2 years no longer works to my satisfaction.

I always felt a good build for balance had 1 melee weapon and 1 ranged to avoid being completely kited or toyed with in some situations so when this patch hit and my longbow seemed to no longer have enough pressure I thought it might be over for me if i couldn’t find another style that i like.

So after retesting and giving all weapons and ideas another good chance i eventually found myself on this.

Its a pretty decent dueling build that i seen a few others with a similar idea have but i’ve also found success with it in real games. Imo its because i dropped stability for bullscharge for the 2nd gap closer which is much needed on full melee build i feel.

Anyway , what is everyone else’s before and after situation?

Oh and here’s a mini movie illustrating my case

Jump to 4:30 to actually see the illustration -_-u

Good fights. Fun to watch. Loads of pressure. That mes though -_-u Shows how lackluster a standard shatter setup can be.

Ya i probably should have mentioned skip to 4:30 if only interested in current build gameplay and not the full comparison when posting in this forum.

I did say ‘’mini movie ’’ though lol. Which is what I was trying to make telling a story.

Any chance of running/recording this build in action in a full match vid?
