You don’t need zerker to hit hard, I was killing people from 50% in soldier gear with one Executioner + CoD proc. But it isn’t OP at all either, in fact most of it is a bit on the weak side, there are a just a few things that are balanced already that feel nice.
CoD proc?
Just put on some minions and you’re good to go
Why do you use the Settler Amulet?
Hey was just wondering if anyone had any experience with bunker builds in PvP. If anyone wants to share their bunker build that would be great!
Man some of these comments….Just go with whatever class interests you. People saying don’t go engi or ele at the start because they are “complicated” are imo wrong. It’s fun to learn a class along the way and if there are many guides out there to help you with mechanics and what not. This game is not that complicated. Go with what interests you and have fun.
Are you using staff with MM now? I think a while ago you told me it wasn’t worth using with MM. What made you change your mind?
I keep hearing about this “GWEN” meta in WvW but what role does the necro play in it?
A good build I like is the 6/2/0/0/6, pretty standard Deathshroud build. The dagger build may do more damage with a good organized group, but the Deathshroud build is very good with pugs because it gives you range and some nice damage.
Speaking of build variety does any1 have a good healing build for pve? I’m not worried about being super effective just looking for a different build to play with friends
Has Anet said anything about giving classes new weapons?
yes, its planned/in the works with no promise that it will happen anytime soon.
Please let this happen though. Getting a little bored with the weapons we have right now.

Ya, consume conditions is pretty mandatory. I recommend dagger/WH, and axe/whatever (focus normally, dagger if you need more condi cleanse), if you are using soldier (or any non-cleric power) amulet use a power rune (pack is great), leeching/energy sigils, if you are using clerics run dwayna/water, leeching/renewal sigils.
How come no staff? Usually on MM build people use a staff as a secondary.
Unless you count MMs as power builds (since they technically are), I can’t think of any good ones. My suggestion (besides an MM type build, even a zerker MM hybrid) would be aiming for a healing/siphon build, probably using power/prec/toughness gear, but I can’t say it’d be at all viable.
The issue with using a power build not based on DS is that frankly we rely pretty heavily on it. Support healing builds rely on it for Transfusion/Deathly Invigoration, tanky builds rely on it for their tankiness and sometimes damage (perception is a great way to deal high damage even as a “tank”), zerker builds rely on it for defense and ranged pressure, and frankly while MM doesn’t “rely” on it, it still needs DS to chain CC and for Transfusion.
There’s just no getting around it, the mechanic is so deeply ingrained in the profession’s playstyle that really the only way to not rely on it is to rely on siphon-based heals, which at the moment just don’t pull their weight. By all means, you can try siphon builds for fun, and I encourage you to do that if you’re bored, but I don’t think it will be “viable”.
Well that’s unfortunate to hear but maybe I’ll start theory crafting some weird builds. And for MM just a question, do you use consume conditions? And what kind of weapons/runes/sigils do you recommend?
Hey so I’ve gotten a bit bored of the usual 6/2/0/0/6 build and I was looking for a new power build for sPvP that DOESN’T RELY ON DEATH SHROUD. Any suggestions?

This covers PVE power builds mostly, although you can use the deathshroud build for WvW roaming, and if you’re are good at positioning you can also use it in zergs, although not recommended!
So I’m new to WvW but I want to get into it. I wanted to do the well powermancer/tank sort of build. This build is mainly for Zerg v Zerg fights.
So I need critique for this build. I only have soldier and berserker armour and weapons, and some of my earrings and rings are mixed with exotic and ascended. So like I said make a full critique with this build. Are the weapons fine? Skills? Traits? Sigil/Rune choices etc…
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Well I use wells that siphon and sigils/runes that siphon but only for my WvW well tank build. I don’t think siphoning is all that effective right now and the new heal skill is not good at all.
Yea just put your questions in a list and we’ll do our best to answer.
Nemesis I’m huge fan of your but you have to stop complaining about them taking off your thread pinned at the top. Just get over it msn.

Just watch some of these videos snowfaire. They are all very good and very in depth.
Hey so I’ve been looking for a different build to play with in sPvP. I was just looking for the general trait loadout for a build where you just go into deathshroud for weakness and stability and fury and that stuff. Any help would be appreciated.
I play an almost full berserker build. I primarily roam and do small group stuff. It can be frustrating at times and takes a little while to get used to but I love it
It is a standard 30/10/0/0/30 build
Check my signature for some videos I put up. I will eventually upload a build video although the build is not original
Hey thanks I’ll try it out. Just a quick question though: What sigils/runes are you using?
I’m talking for the most part solo or maybe small groups. I’ve seen most people run condition builds while roaming in WvW but would a power build work just as well?
Probably Luxon.
Thanks Belekai for helping me out! I’m definitely gonna test out the build when I play next. And thanks for the suggestion Nagato, I will try to test it out!
Wondering if you guys could help me out here. Mainly for front line zerg, hence full soldiers. Not sure what to do with last 10 trait points and was wondering what sigils and runes I should use.
Looking to use a Wellmancer build for WvW and could use some help. I only have 2 full sets: Soldiers and Berserkers. I want to be mainly on the front line, so should I mix Soldiers/Berserkers or is full Soldier viable? Also is 0/20/20/30/0 good?
You can run with wells.
maybe like 15/0/25/30/0 (Just a suggestion though)
Because all your stuff is ascended
Crafting to lvl 80 is pretty pricey. WvW events level you up fast or you can do the CoF path 1 alt swap thing (Only do this if your group approves.)
I have no idea how this build will work out. If anyone can do like a test run with it and give us results that would be awesome. This build looks interesting to say the least. The only problem is I heard leeching was very underpowered right now.
300+ views and no one can link one? =(
Deathsroud / Spectral builds are actually really awesome to use in WvW. I use mine only in small groups however because in a zerg I would explode. I’m looking at your build and just wondering why you’re going celestial gear?
anyone????

For WvW and PvE I guess. I haven’t seen an updated one so I’m wondering if someone can link one.
If you have two spectral skills, always go for spectral mastery, however I wouldn’t suggest using locust signet along with spectral walk. (Well, I would never suggest using locust signet except for running around if you’re not in the perma swiftness master race).
Locust is just to get around, I’ll swap it out before a fight.
Hi, im using build same to your 2, with full valk set for more survivability. Using it in PvE, PvP and WvWvW. Maybe it isnt best, but it seems ok to me. Of course bit different utilities…
Are you using vital persistence or spectral mastery? I wasn’t too sure which to pick.
So I should start off by saying these would be for WvW, small group roaming, no zerg. These builds I wanted to make use of Spectral skills/Deathshroud. Mostly stay in Deathshroud and using skill 1 for big damage. I wasn’t completely sure which traits and sigils to use for these builds so any advice would be appreciated.
This build I went full Valkyrie.
This build I went full Zerker but I am not too sure about it. Maybe I should mix in some Knights? Or mix in some Valk?
I run 30/10/0/0/30 with knights armor with ruby orbs, zerker daggers, and zerker and knights ascended trinkets. Not very squishy especially in death shroud, and I also hit pretty hard. Unless my target is very tanky. Thieves I do have some complications with but I can get them dead most of the time, unless they run away
So which traits are you using?
Thanks everyone for their contributions! I am going to test on which build I like more and make adjustments from there.
Hey I was looking for help in a Deathshroud / Spectral build in WvW. Would probably use for small battles. I was thinking either 30/10/0/0/30 and go full Berserkers OR Valkyrie armour and go 20/20/0/0/30. I would be using mostly spectral skills. I need help deciding also if I should go Staff & Dagger/Warhorn or Staff & Axe/Focus or even Dagger/Warhorn and Axe/focus. I want to know first off if this is even viable. Any help would be appreciated!
This is Nemesis’ support build. I’m not sure if it still works as well because of the patch but I think he’s eventually going to do an updated version.
Otherwise You can always just run a wells+marks build, they’re good in WvW.
Thanks for the input Azreell! I might try full berseker and then I’ll go from there!
Yea I was thinking maybe mixing Berserkers/Valkyrie and going 30/0/0/10/30 because I heard the more hp you have the more DS you’ll have.
I was thinking of making a DS build however instead of flashing it I want to be in it as long as possible while taking advantage of DS 1 skill. I’m still not sure of armour and sigils/runes. I was thinking valkyrie armour because DS scales with vitality I think, but then I would be missing out on precision and I need 50% with deathly perception for 100% crit chance. spectral armour + DS is pretty nice though.
This is for PVE. So like the title says I’m looking for a build that takes advantage of life blast damage + DS survivability. Spectral skills will be used to regenerate life force obviously. I need help deciding which armour to be wearing and what sigils I should use. Any help would be appreciated.
Well this is just embarrassing . The build I showed you is now outdated….kitten
Really? You thought they were scary? Anyway Minions are really good for levelling and they can be good in higher level things to. There are many variations of a minion build that can work so the one I’m linking is NOT set in stone. This one is pretty good but I’ll say it again, they’re many variations and this is just one.

With this build you can run full berserker gear or Soldiers or even maybe knights or you can even mix and match, whatever you prefer. For levelling I recommend going down the death magic line first, then you can go from there. I’ll link you to a guide you might find some use for.

Good luck =)
EDIT: I should add these are for PVE. For PVP you will want to run something a bit different.
What if you had to dodge to escape the well? It’s really easy to just walk out…
With the new addition of custom arenas, you can now 1 v 1. Any of you had any thoughts on making a 1 v 1 build yet?
