Guild Wars 2

tyvm for all the replies!
I’m happy to hear some educated opinions on the matter.
I’m curious about the lb/hammer build for pvp, so I’m def going to give that a shot. Otherwise I’m likely going to go zerkers with GS/LB off. I’m very interested in about the might stacking build— I hear it falls behind the traditional GS zerker build, but being able to maintain all that might sounds really tasty.

Thanks!

I’ve finally got the resources to begin buying ascended gear, but I can’t decide what build I want to settle with for PvE.

I’d like to use LB considering I’ve nearly completed my first (and favorite) legendary, Kudzu, but I still want to be viable in PvE.
What build pairs well with LB? Some GS builds these days that run zerkers completely ignore swaps, and then there are dual-wield builds that don’t utilize the bows’ strengths in the least.

I’m currently running a variation of the condition PvP build that uses rabid gear, undead runes and LB/sword-warhorn(or sword-sword) to stack conditions. I feel like it puts great emphasis on the use of the bow and the fire field/explosion combo to build might. I drop my fire, use explosion, then swap to sword-warhorn, use my second explosion for more might and begin stacking bleeds with autoattacks. By the time my adrenaline is full I can swap back to bow to drop a new field and repeat my rotation.

Here’s an example of my current build:

(The second sigil along with fire I use for my bow is actually Torment, not Air, but Torment wasn’t showing up.)

This is not my exact setup, most of it changes for the situation I’m in, but I typically try to maintain 3 sigils at a time. I’m often overflowing with adrenaline, but it’s nice to know you’ll always have it for some fire when you need it.

The extra toughness from the rabid/undead rune build really helps with the survivability (and leaves room for me to make mistakes), but I know it’s a very flawed PvE setup. My damage takes a while to ramp up, unlike the burstyness of a classic zerker.

So how can I improve on what I’ve got? Is a condition PvE build even a thing I should pursue? I know what I’m doing is far from right— but even if I did refine it, could this be a thing? Keeping that in mind, I’m not completely set on condition build— I’ve never run a serious GS build and the weapon does interest me, but like I said, I’d like LB to be of good use in whatever build I decide on.

I’m really hoping for the opinions of some well-informed warriors at this point. I’ve been thinking this over for a while, researching and speculating, but what I really need are some solid experience based opinions and theories!

Thanks for your time!
