I would put one from virtues into Radiance VI for more dps.
I would also change II in Valor for X once again for more dps.
last thing i would so is use Flame legion or rage runes for reason same at above.
i would use zerker armor leave the amulets as is.
You don’t need extra condi dmg when you have the +33% on fire the only condi dmg you have.
Hey all fine builds posted. But i will say i think hammer is too slow and will lack dps. In return making you pop your skills faster leaving you defenceless. Imo medi build are more for dps guardians using sword/focus(for bursting) and GS(for point defence untill burst is ready again) i run this a lot and it serves me very well. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fUAQNAR8dnQElGadIuhAIaCJnxKlg2HAorHQUE1QA-ToAg0EHpOydk5I5R2nGQsKYbB
Mesmer’s are a pain also some warriors can leave you mad. but in most cases you can control the fight. litanty of wrath is risky i normally use it after my open burst when i swap to GS if i am taking dmg. So swap to GS use GS 5 then LOW GS 4 GS5 GS 2 then smite if i have a condi on me. Mercy runes because team res ftw. Indomitable courage for stomping count 1-2 then hit f3 when stomping. Untill you learn guardian better use RF over tome. but tome is great for group fights.
If you really like hammer i would look at a hammer/staff ground target consecration build, again with mercy runes or lyssa runes are also good if you use RF.
I wouldn’t use this build. definitely not in PvE. PvE is easy stat/trait wise. It jsut getting the skills right for each fight. So most people build for weapons(dmg for PvE) then apply skills at each encounter.
How about a ground targeting concentration hammer/staff build for total control in group fights and excellent ressing skills. would be very fun to break things up a little for you, you could even run zerker with maybe PVT slotted in. 15/0/10/20/25
This wont be great but sure will be fun for a day or so to get you off meta.
I think it should just be instant like all other meditation skills. Also maybe an extra 2 seconds on it? As you stated it would be useless scaling with healing power on the most part as you would just do less and less dmg.
Hey, I’m looking for a team for ESl. I main guardian, but also play warrior. Rank 35(been doing tpvp 2 months). I don’t bunk much with my guardian i’m an aggressive player. i rotate well drop off points after we take control. So lets do a trial yeah.
Oh yeah i’m happy for prac and to test/learn new builds/play styles .
1. I said don’t use judge’s. I should of had better grammar.
2. No way myself and many friends kitten with wrath and i don’t miss RF at all.
3. I agree the cd is a problem.
i think the 25 in virtues is better than 10 in zeal on your build. I wish i had an extra 5 trait points for use 5 in honor but i use it in radiance for f1 recharge on kill and yes that may not be the best.
I’ll start with some skills i’d chance/use
1, Judges Intervention never Purging Flame always. This is for tPvP? people need to be on point and its also condi cleanse no one needs to be able to chase that much.
2, Renewed Focus changed for tome of wrath why? this is dps/support guide tome of wrath is just op in tpvp 6k AoE 3 second knockdown with quickness control taken.
3, Shelter is fine and i always used it over signet but with the current condi meta i use signet and its helping.
sword/focus and GS for me i love that combo.
Traits i think dps support is better with 0/15/30/0/25.
taking blind exposure? in radiance. help to stack 9 vuln on a target befor shield of wrath for that big insta kill.
But its all playstyle and who you are playing with. imo your build is good but for support/dps it could be better. when i look at support dps i see dps with dps support for teammates.
yeah this is an ok set up but in pvp witht he nerco/condi meta i would rune purging flame over judges intervention and healing signet over shelter.
Purging Flames is much better as it is condi cleanse and good dps on points.
I not sure how long fury last when you use a medi but i also rather take Purity for more condi removal.
10/25/30/5 is what i run. But thats my playstyle maybe i like to dodge roll a lot in order to avoid dmg.
You are looking at this the wrong way oldsomalia. im talking about a whole game system not a soul inter guild race or 3rd party hosted events. it’s not just something i would like but something i believe would improve the game state.
What makes you think i wouldn’t have already done or thought of doing what you said. Also so you know i have my guild has Records set on the site linked above. [LOD]
dutchiez.7502 yes thats great. If only it was implemented in-game. that fact that someone(or group) has gone and made that site and its active should say to ANET that it is a system that would improve the game state.
PvE is lacking imo with “End game” content. I like the idea of having dungeon races where you enter with 10 people make 2 teams(or make them before entering w/e). once teams are made simply select path and team will be split into two instances with a simple countdown and race on. end result can be simple bonus coin reward.
A ladder/time recording system. this could be optional with a fun run or timed run option. other things like weekly/monthly comp could be run.
After playing my Norn as a asura in the Asura Fractal i noticed my weapons effects like i’v never seen them before. The fire on my arm from Rodgort shows all the way around also the dark aura from twilight i can see. Didn’t even know twilight had the effect before hand.
I’v got 2 pics of norn and asura with the same effects in the same pose.
Shouldn’t these effects be scaled for norns.
PLease
With ascended armor coming and expected to be another item we will be crafting along with ascended weapons and precursors and no other way to guarantee getting these items is Anet crashing its own market. Just like the Dust situation 2 months ago but this time on a much larger scale.
i feel like they are attempting to make these items available to casual players but with so much into crafting are they just pushing these items away into the “hardcore” side. with prices rising and not expected to stop.
Please give us a dps meter(Parser or w/e they are called). so we can stop this thread opening every week. imo at this stage use best dps stats and traits. use what ever weapon you feel best with,
This isn’t really a question more him bragging. As all he needs to do it not salvage anything he doesn’t need to salvage. so maybe it should stop trying after 295% and let the game do the rest.
I do not have access to the lfg tool yet, I would like to know if it keeps track of dungeons completed on a daily bases and also for the dungeon master achievement.
but i agree if you post for a group it should allow you to keep exploring others, but i understand them not allowing it.
Add a dps meter or allow 3rd party ones. so sick of dps debates
Do we believe that the “top” mystic forge weapons should get an upgrade to ascended?
Aether, Infinite Light, Mjolnir, Azuraflame, FoeFire’s Power/Essence, Anomaly and Volcanus all require an good effort to make. I do not think we have to get a “Free” upgrade but maybe a recipe that allows us to upgrade them to ascended.
Quick side question, I always use 5 points in honor for the vigor on crit with my dps builds. I just find in places like CoE i cannot maintain my dodges so i tend to have run 10/30/0/5/25 or something close to that. Is there something else we can do to gain vigor? i do not want it on my weapons or runes. Can a combo field give vigor?
Assuming you still want to be useful to your party to need to have Master of Consecrations and possible a condition remove like Absolute Resolution or Pure of Voice.
For damage you want 30 points in Radiance for RH Strength, and maybe 10 points in Zeal for Fiery Wrath.
Condi removal Gs4 followed by Gs2, Yes consecrations are good but better of with the 20% more dmg while aegis is up and using Elite focus with tome of wrath imo. This still means one can run consecrations. Also RHS is not a direct dmg increase.
Imo 15/25/0/5/25 is best for Dps, You can take 5 points out of zeal and move them in Radiance for RHS or in Virtues for Permeating Wrath without noticing a dps change.
I use 10/25/30/5/0 and use meditation(Smite condi and JI) with signet of power just because i find it “Fun”
i believe zerk stats will still be the way to go, after all crit chance is based on power no point getting an extra crit every so often just to do less dmg on all your other hits. So imo dps will prob be reduced.
Hey guys i just leveled my war 0-80 in crafting today and i was hoping someone could post a pure zerker dps build for me with some short notes on how to play it. Also some fractals tips would be nice.
Yeah i was only talking Pve bro none of this WvW or PvP, I understand my PvE ideas would get me rolled when roaming(at least with my knowledge of other classes). I also agree playing Anchor builds etc are fun i never stated otherwise. Sorry if you wanted WvW or roaming build. The Build link saying “PvE Mode” made me assume.
As for squishy builds in fractals, my personal experience is at 38/48 even full PVT get downed in a few hits so might as well go full glass cannon and kill the mobs before they kill us.
This is incorrect, but of course, must be the PvE meta thinking behind justifying the logic of using all zerker gear or going full glass cannon – kill first or be killed mentality. Accordingly, if you have PvE peeps/guardians running around in PVT gear and getting downed in a few hits, they need to either re-roll a new profession or L2P their current profession and build (and get some agony resistance to boot). I run full PVT in WvW and even getting focus-fired, do not go down in a “few hits.”
This logic that Zerker/glass isn’t the best in PvE is incorrect. You are right that people in pvt that down fast really do need to improve. But playing in any dungeon/fractals with a DPS/zerker based melee party its not only fun as hell but quicker. If you played your guardian as glass and got a exp glass party you would understand. I use the elite focus trait atm with Tome of wrath and don’t even bother with asking for mesmers.
once crit chance is at 50% you will not notice a increase in crit hits from getting a higher crit chance imo as its rolled every hit. taking 5 from Virtues will take about upto 10% dmg much better than RHS. not to mention fury already gives us 20% crit chance.
Zerker stats, 10/25/0/10/25 Or 10/25/0/25/10(more defensive). Use any weapons you really want but GS with sword/torch is highest dps set i find with this.
so yes i was only talking zerker on your armor/weapons and cel on trinkets.
I do run full zerker everything with 10/25/0/10/25, using the 3x blinds and dodge with vigor on crit from 5 in honor. I use this on my 38/48 dailies and everything else i do in PvE. Do i have a problem staying alive the answer to that is Yes sometimes, i find in parties that are not dps based ei us Gaurdians running support builds its much harder on me due to longer fights. but good dps ground np.
