Guild Wars 2

First gw2 vid. i tried to keep the sub 80’s out as much as possible.

i run gs/rifle

specs used in the video

20/20/0/0/30 – http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#mcRo0M9cMRFnmMRFnmGG9MxVsVkcak

20/0/30/0/20 – http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#mcRM0o9cMRFnmMRFnmG0x0GVsMRbca

0/0/0/0/0

im fully geared in glass cannon exotics and run divinity as my rune set.

reason why i deleted my ranger was due to the fact i like playing high ST burst rdps, the ranger just doesn’t offer it. warhammer i played a sorc, rift i was a mage, swtor i rocked a commando ect.. this is also the first mmo where im playing a primarily mdps as a main.

ranger was 350+h before deleted
warrior is currently 460+
total /age is over 960h

comment/like/sub/! and enjoy the vid.

I loved your video to start with, some nice fights man! I’d like to know the traits you use, the sigils on your weapons and the food/nutrition boons on you.

Food – Bowls of Curry Butternut Squash Soup +100 precision +10% crt dmg

Master Maintenance Oil – gain 6% power equal to your toughness , gain power to 4% of your vitality. (its currently bugged and gives + precision. )

for Sigils i run Hyrdomancy on my GS and Bloodlust on the rifle although i should probably switch it out, i usually don’t take the time to get the 25 stacks to effectively use it. i’ll update the op and add a spec link in abit.

Awesome! Thanks a lot.

Sanny from war malice? I was allied with you in old Volk days… Playing a warrior on jq with some old PiiTA guys.

Funny how that goes…

I had similar feelings with the ranger before I leveled my Warrior. What server did you guys end up on? Nice vid by the way.

If you ever feel like checking out JQ be sure to say hi. Myrmidons has a small group (3-5) running WvW most nights.

Good god man. What sheer damage. No wonder you deleted your ranger. The difference in damage between that of a warrior and a ranger is like that between a god and an ant.

Hi Sanny,

Nice display of skills in your video. Love it!

I’m curious as you mentioned 2 traits builds in your post, which build do you use for which situation?

The master maintenance oils are not in themselves bugged, it’s just the tooltip description is wrong, they are indeed supposed to be giving +precision. If you want food that actually gives +power instead then you want to be using Superior Sharpening Stones, they give the same amount of boosts based off of power and toughness just they boost power and not precision.

its hard to say, in the 1 v x situations you will notice not being spec’d into toughness but at the same time I’ve gone into down state, gotten back up and died because i didn’t rally from vengeance, personally as nice as it is to have the extra toughness and retal i run the first spec the majority of the time, since i open with rifle not having the ability to pierce targets is painful sometimes, with all the npcs that agro and pets that get in the way of my target.

thx for the info, i was looking for the + power one, since i can afford to drop my crit, its already high enough especially when i buff myself, i could use the extra power.

is this because you are dying a lot in larger group settings (ie greater than 5v5)?

I run the exact same build as your 20/0/30/0/20 with Power/Tough/Vitality gear and Berserker jewels – its a good solid build but I dont quite get your damage numbers…. this is why I ask if you are dying a lot with berserker gear (which is what I assume you are running when you say Glass Cannon gear).

As for sigil on the rifle you could use Superior Sigil of Intelligence (100% crit chance after swap) but you probably crit enough as it is;

OR if you think need more power then Superior Sigil of Strength (30% chance at crit to gain might for 10s) – one stack of might is equal to 35 power. After 10 attacks, 75% crit chance, 30% of which grant might, in theory you should have at least 2-3 stacks of might for an addition 70-105 power. Even SSoBattle for an instant 3 stacks of might at weapon swap might be better.

Or Suprior Sigil of Force for a flat 5% increase… which for you would be quite a bit since you’re hitting so hard already.

My personal favorite, though its a little unpredictable, is the Superior Sigil of Rage for a 10% chance at 3 seconds of quickness on a critical.

Im going to try out your 20/30/0/0/20 with rifle tonight. It looks interesting but squishy.

20/20/0/0/30 does good in the larger scale fights especially with having my rifle shots pierce, i usually don’t die as often as one would think. i roughly have to do a repair once a day after a few hours pvping maybe, some times i don’t, usual when i jump into the 1v x’s is when you will most likely to die, even being full on dps, i have a base of 19k hp and just under 2.2k armor. 20k+ hp from the wvw buff’s. its squish but as as squish as one would think, you just have to be a lot more aware of your positioning and know when you flip into melee and when to kite out in larger scale fights positioning is key. its just out of lazyness not getting the stacks witch is pretty stupid but it happens, its a lot of stats to miss out on. my rifle did come with the quickness sigil already in it, its the precursor and it did proc a lot before i replaced it with bloodlust,

yes all my gear/accessories/rings/ammy are all berserker gear, gear is slotted with divinity runes. im working on getting a few more 2hers to try out a few different sigil’s, i would prefer more dmg but having the hydromancy when i flip to the 2h in melee range is really strong. that snare nearly puts you at walking speed for 3s, my crit chance from just the food sits a 59% before utility buff’s.

i want to try out 10/0/30/0/30 but idk if losing that 10% dmg on the 2h would be to great of a loss, i could possibly slot the 5%dmg sigil to kind of off set it. not having the ability to 100% rally on vengeance along with movement skills break immobilize and running faster with a melee wep is the only reason i don’t like just going 20 into discipline,

one of the key things i do is opening with the rifle, frenzy+volly, its really underrated imo. it does so much dmg to open a fight form range if they don’t burn thier heal and you get a full channel you will nearly kill them or depending on how they are spec’d will kill them. even if you don’t get the full volly off, you usually will do enough dmg to force them to put their heal on cd before the fight really even begins or burn some of their defensive cd’s.

Sanny what armor set(the skin) is that on your warrior? Thanks in advance!
