Guild Wars 2

For anyone who would like to have fun with killshot, play it while it lasts! Trust me. Gun flame kicks kitten right now.

Weapons: Axe/shield (Paralyzation/Air)
Rifle (Intelligence/Air)

Runes: Pack
Amulet: Berserker (or berserker stats in pve)

Utilities: Healing signet
Endure Pain
Signet of Fury *
Berserker Stance
Headbutt

Traits:
Defense: Shield Master(1)
Defy Pain(1)
Cleansing Ire(2)

*Signet of fury is used when you enter combat. Say – hit a foe, pop signet of fury and you start out the fight in berserker form. With how good gunflame is, this is quite strong.

Anyways my fellow skull cracking, head bashing, meat slicing explosion-loving-warriors — Gunflame away!

I gave it a try. Its awful. I end up in downed state more than doing burst damage.

More like a bad build.

The damage isn’t very impressive compared to the risks.

Im sorry gun flame essentially one shots on a 8 second cooldown, its bugged and hits twice.

So you’d rather give up 30% damage (Zerk power + minor trait) and 100% chance to crit (Arms line)?, No thanks ill stick with my 21k unblockable instant adrenaline gain Killshots., Now if you are talking solo roaming? Yeah I could see this working sometimes. But in a group? No not even close, the damage is easily mitigated by any good players.

Yes it is. I tried running axe/shield + rifle a while ago to mess with burst precision and it is on another tier of garbage altogether.

I’m having success with it in pvp. Haven’t done any wvw or pve with it. You can grab arms or strength and signet of might for an extremely yolo build. Sorry if my setup doesn’t suit your playstyle.

There are numerous things in this build to prevent you from insta-downing if you use them right. Shield stance, double endure pain, zerker stance and healing signet resistance are some to name a few. Not instantly dying to burst allows you to continue gun flaming. Downed state doesn’t burst.

http://www.twitch.tv/phenomatron/v/19016993 <- I used my own gun-flame build in spvp a bit I imagine strength would be way more awesome for the dmg but as you can tell it creates SUPER effective levels of rage WARNING it may end friendships lol.

its really fun in hotjoin.
didn’t bother with unranked / ranked / stronghold due to queue times.

berserk, gun flame!
bam! downed!

feels so good.

too bad they will fix it.

Bring more reflects? Does no one use them anymore?

Kinda hard to reflect an unblockable projectile.

Generally people reflect things that they see are coming. With this skill it’s actually really hard to tell when it’s gonna be used.

They glow red to indicate zerk mode and then there’s a weird like symbol that pops up as its casting. If its going to be such a heavy hitter, it should totally have a stronger tell especially since you can move and shoot with it.

As to signets going through defenses it didn’t work vs a scrapper i fought for some reason it still reflected it lol.

Live been playing a gun flame build all weekend! It’s so much fun! Would be really funny if this wasnt a bug.

Yea, when I found out about its new feature, it was too late, I was able to test it only on NPCs in HotM lobby
But still, everyone was like wtf when I was oneshotting those NPCs
priceless
#anetplezdontnerf

NPC? Ppl was wtf when I was oneshotting multiple enemies through f1 aoe and oneshotting ressing ppl after.
