Guild Wars 2

What skills or traits do you use on the shaman boss for fotm?

I want to support my team better in this tough fight. I feel like staying alive during elemental phase is the best support I can provide for my team. I use healing shouts, but maybe something like signet of stamina would be good for this fight specifically, to dodge the boss a lot? I use balanced stance for the elemental phase. Anything that would be good for resing teammates? I tried warbanner, but it wasn’t doing anything.

Does fear me have a place here? Let me know what works well for you. So sick of wiping to this guy.

Weapon : —-—- / Warhorn

Skills : For Great Justice / Shake It Off / On my Mark // Warbanner

Full cleric stuff (just buy a full green set) + rune of the Soldier

Traits : 30 tactics : —-— / Warhorn trait / Healing Shout trait

Ok this build is a bit overkill but if you want support it should do fine ^^

i really appreciate the reply, but i’m already a shout warrior, i know the build well.

I was looking for tips on the shaman fight specifically, and what traits/skills players might change from the normal shout warrior to better fight this boss.

have you actually successfully used war banner to try to res a dead party member on this boss specifically? i tried it twice and it never worked. maybe bc he nails the dead with his fire aoe after they go down and my banner can’t compete?

imo that fight needs alot of dps, but you also need to survive.

30 rending (forget the #), VII, X

30 I, shout cooldown, XII

GS/rifle, FGJ, SIO, and i slot in my open slot witch i use situationally with fear me. reason being all should be on shaman when he turtles at which point the fire eles, all converge and can wipe a party very quickly, fear me buys you a few crucial seconds cures a condition and gives a small heal.

soldier runes of course, and i run sigils of blood with omnom pies with zerker jewelry, and either knight or zerker armor (usually knight for that fight)

also remember, the best way to revive somone is to kill moar fire eles!, don’t get downed reviving from an aoe and for the love of god don’t try and res is boss is on you.

I personally love being set on fire constantly. Quickbreathing = Aegis twice every 16 seconds.
