Well, I’m glad you think so! Hahaha
Grabbed my Zerker jewellery (and backback), bought my exotic zerker gear (yay for all the Karma I had banked!) and bought the Scholar runes! I’m ready to go!
Thanks again for all the help
Feeling much better about getting my feet wet! Also appreciate the honesty
Sadly people seem to fear that these days.
Awesome information Thank you for your time in writing it! Again, it’s really appreciated!
Not really attached to any weapon (Made all the ascended weapons, so I can switch it up no problem. And Moot was just cause I had the material and that mace is just hilarious) so switching it up is easy. (All zerk too! Sweet!)
And great example of why valk would be wasted for zerk! Never though of potentially using Hammer instead of GS (And yes, Hammer use REQUIRES Writ of Persistence) so then Radiance would need to be switched (since Symbolic Avenger is too good of a synergy to give up!)
Thinking Scepter/Torch and GS is going to be my start. But I’ll be sure to keep what boss/mobs I am fighting in mind to maybe switch the GS around!
As a last question: Would Flame legion runes be better for me than Scholar when learning? I have a feeling I won’t be at 90%+ hp while learning the ropes. Or is getting Scholar early a good “Git gud scrub!” (Dark Souls trained me!) incentive?
Thanks again!
Perfect! This is the kind of advice I was looking for
Would Zerker gear still be good even when using the Retaliation trait? Or I feel the Precision would be wasted, hence the Valk gear. Though changing up the Utilities would make my retal time not 100% so that may be why zerk is chosen.
I do have a set of ascended Zerk jewellery (When I played my Ranger) so I can use that stuff no issue. Will have to go buy the zerk gear! (Don’t have ascended armor… yet Hahaha)
Never really “Cared” for the zerker meta, but I guess it’s meta for a reason! Open world I’ll stick to what I use (It’s pretty easy and works) but I’ll make sure to practice my “make things go boom” set too.
Last question: (Thanks again, really appreciated!) would it ever be wise to switch up the elite trap for the elite shout for the Fury/Quickness? Or Scepter for Hammer (for the CC)? I guess that may fit into the “learn when to bring what kind of utility”…
Thanks so much for the info though. Excited to be a “productive” member of the Fractal community!
Game on!
Only 2 I found so far, first is the “Stand your ground!” one mentioned above.
Second is the trait Healer’s Retribution only triggers on the cast of the new Mantra heal. If you use any of the 3 charges you get no retaliation
Not sure if it’s a bug, but makes the trait not very useful imo.

I feel I’m a bit weird in this regard, but I love playing supportive defensive builds! I’ve tried damage (zerk) builds but never quite liked that as much as leaping into the fray on my tank Scrapper or Glint/Ventari Rev (Full Clerics, I love my rev!).
Sure I don’t do much damage, and sometimes the healing really isn’t important (Especially in old Tyria) but that feeling when my fiance and friends are ripping into something as I’m tanking and kiting it around is amazing to me Also when I watch them all get flattened by a shockwave/whatever and their health dips to critical levels, Mumble explodes with “I’m going down soon!” “That really hurt!” followed closely by “Oh hey, almost back to full!” when my tablet comes out and saves them all
That’s my favorite playstyle! Also helps that all my Fractal/Dungeon/Jungle romps are with my close friends so “meta” isn’t expected or needed at all Also I rarely play alone, my fiance is usually ripping the things I make mad apart with her zerk ele (Now, she likes blowing stuff up!) so my tanky support build just means we get to aggro the whole room! >:) Hahaha
Have a great day everyone!
