Guild Wars 2

@Grimms: Gasp! You tease! Obviously I shall have to start checking this topic hourly.

@CrazyDuck: I don’t know about the others for sure, but Grimms stated in the 1vX Gladiator video comments that he was using his “Power Pistol” build, except the pistol is swapped for a sword (and the relevant Trait is swapped from pistol to sword too)

@Dess: Heck yes, I’d pay good money to see that.

I’m loving the look of this “Gladiator” build, and I’ve been trying to recreate it in an online Build Editor, with only minor success. Here’s what I’ve got so far:

The key points:

1. Grimms has stated that the Gear and Traits are the same as his “Pistol Power” build – just slightly retraited for “Blade Training”
2. He also says he’s at 3.1k armor and 87% crit damage
3. The video shows him at a base 20,257 hit points

My problem: Whilst I can just about get the HP to 20k+ (by using the “Plates of Lemongrass Poultry” to get 6% VIT from Toughness) I can’t seem to do that AND get 3.1k armor and 87% crit damage at the same time.

Can anyone take a look (or, failing that, if Grimms could actually give us a real peek at his gear and Nourishment choices… Please? There’s pie!) and tell me what I’m missing?

The build as I’ve constructed it so far is obviously fine for its purposes, but I’m one of those perfectionists who gets a nagging sense of discontent when I know I’m not being the best I can be.

Help me be perfect! There’s pie!
