Jails in SPvP

I just made some random combinations of utilities and weapon skills from all core legends including Jalis and saw that most of combinations leave either exaust your energy instantly or leave you with too few to do anything.

Here is a list of said combinations using Jallis
inspiring reinforcement (road) + elite = 80 energy
forced engagement + staff 5 = 50 energy
forced engagement + axe 4 + sword 3 = 60 energy
hammer 4 + jallis elite = 60 energy

The combinations become more situational and less impactfull the less energy you use…at least in my opinion.

Pre PT nerf Shiro could make lenghtier combos of utilities and weapon skills compared to Ventari, Malyx and Jallis.

I mean how is this all unique to the dwarf? Shiro has pretty much the same costs.

@OP While I’m nothing exceptional, I’ve been really enjoying Glint/Dwarf.

Forced Engagement especially is one of my favorite abilities with only kitten CD it’s easily chained with Hammer Stun or Staff #5.

The Taunt is just a great interrupt and at a 1,200 range you can stop stomps, stop runners, etc. Anything really, spell is versatile.

I run invocation/herald/retribution, marauder + leadership runes. Between Dwarf Heal, Staff #4, leadership rune set and cleansing channel Conditions aren’t an issue.

Hammer with 40% extra crit during Fury does pretty hefty damage too.

Anyway for casual SPvP this is my go to build, I just came back from a year+ break and I can hold down and assault points easily and I still have great sustain. No complaints so far

Thoughts 5 days after patch?

I play condi shatter and honestly its perfectly fine once you realize our main damage source is confusion and torment is supplementary.

Malicious Sorcery half-functional?

Why would confuse beam go any faster, the talent doesnt affect it’s cast time at all in the tooltip. Or am I missing something

Take your cracks at me/build. I’m fairly new to playing GW2 Regularly and for now just practice in Unranked Spvp matches.

(pauses for tomatoes, pointing and laughing etc)

Anyway with that said this build has been the most fun for me to play and watching enemies die confused in game and prob irl has brought me much enjoyment.

It has very decent condition damage and duration that gets stronger from kills

but is fairly low on team utility and survivability comes mostly from distortion and blocking so it can be iffy at times

no mass condition removal

And no blink or teleports

Please critique and provide any improvements in your opinion.

I really miss having blink for example

Earlier today i was in a match when a new Game Build was rolling out, when my match ended the game booted me as usual.

I load back in and i see “match in progress”, I read on the forums to log out of the game entirely for 10+ mins and it will clear up.

While match in progress cleared up, I cant queue with my friend. Once we both hit ready we see “Queue Abandoned” instantly, we’re retried prob 30+ times to see that instantly pop everytime.

Now I try solo queueing and I see estimated time 2mins while I’ve actually been queued for 10, 15 mins.

Any ideas?

What's the point of Adrenal Implant?

Now you’re just making excuses and showing Bias

I use Adrenal implant. It there’s so you arent forced 10 points into alchemy with the need to constantly have vigor active.

10% extra damage + not needing to swap kits every 5 seconds is just great quality of life mid combat

Add a sigil of Superior energy and you’re constantly topped. Matter of fact if you aren’t topped off endurance wise and you still want extra damage you can trait Empowering Adrenaline for 5% extra damage

wow look at that Synergy and customization, who woulda thought

Game won't update, doesn't load new patch

I like elixir X for tPvP, Tornado is amazing for keeping multiple people off a node and for constant knockdowns on say the Lords and their adds.

Rampager just totally mctumps anyone 1v1 cept maybe a Guardian with Stand your ground up

You know, was wondering that too. No reason I liked the 100 vitality for being so close to 20k hp and jus being more rounded

but went with Adrenal implant, and changed the Sigil on the rifle to Superior energy.

The endurance output is kinda wild and its easy to maintain that 10% extra damage.

thanks!

Gonna be Rank 20 soon and it’s so fun, Net > Jump Shot > Wrench Autos can stack up to 19x Vulnerability lol, 25 easily if you replace slick shoes with utility goggles to maintain a stun break

After playing for like 2 days straight looking for pop builds that cater towards my playstyle, finally just worked my way towards this

It has great direct damage and survivability via various cds

Mobility:
Stun Break + Double Speed for 5 secs
Rocket Boots
Jump Shot leap
Perma Swiftness

7 Interrupts:
Slick Shoes
Overcharged Shot
Magnet (Pull)

Kick, Throw Boulder, Smash from Rampage (Elixir X elite)
Constant Tornado Knock-ups

Really good damage too from Toolkit, The wrench auto can do some sickening damage too was clobbering necros by just following them after pulling and using pry.

Wrench, Immobilizes, and Jump Shot all stack vulnerability to high stacks too.

Critiques please, It does lack utility in Combo fields I feel.

Sorta new to the game but was all but ready to quit til I stopped playing conditional based builds and started messing with this.

Watching someone constantly fall while you wack them with a wrench for stupid damage is hilarious
