Guild Wars 2

For kill shot would 20/30/0/0/20 with runes of the scholar 25 of bloodlust full zerker armor/trinket and fire aoe proc do more damage OR

10/30/0/10/20 with same armor/trinkets/sigils but running the empowered trait under the tactics line. amounting to +6% damage from fury swiftness and might from signet of rage. this + berserk power from power line giving the warrior +12% damage + 10% from runes of scholar + 10% from “On my Mark”

any input would be really helpful. trying to figure out max kill shot damage

What are you using this for? PvE or PvP? If PvE I would say it’s easier to just run 100b as the damage output is simpler to pull off and I find that whenever I run Kill Shot in PvE Mobs will end up being pulled into the other ranged classes because you have high DPS and armor.

For PvP, most good players will dodge kill shot so I wouldn’t even consider it useful until Bolas can hit a moving target and even then they can still dodge. You could put that 10 points into tactics for leg specialist and use rifle 2 followed by bolas for a better chance to land the attack. Even then, running a build like that means you have practically no utility. It’s even more a one trick pony than most of out builds. If you just want to run it for fun that’s up to you but personally I like a bit of condition removal.

As for what deals more damage, in the Heart of the mists there’s a training golem that you could test both builds out on and average out the damage kill shot does for yourself.

Burr thanks so much for the input!! I am rank 42 in spvp though so I know how it goes with both builds. I a sneaky mcsneaker when it comes to kill shot so getting it off isn’t a problem. I am making it in general for wvw/pvp/pve!!

I suppose I was making the assumption of 1v1 or 2v2 situations in TPvP which I always find being a warrior a gigantic pain at times mostly due to our terrible condition mitigation. I prefer Axe/Shield with Sword/Warhorn with runes of Lyssa just so I can have 2 condition wipes. Unfortunately, this hurts my DPS can runes of lyssa aren’t intended for that. If you’re playing a support roamer with say a D/D ele I could see Kill Shot being useful.
