Guild Wars 2

I’m not sure what you have covered already, but I do know I have been a huge fan of Dark or Shadow archetypes. With this said I really like the way Death Shroud is, and I would love to hear some things on a build that focuses staying in Death Shroud most of the time.

Topics could be:
Strengths / Weaknesses
How diverse can Death Shroud be in builds that focus on power, defense or conditions
Ease of building up life force in each listed above and lasting time
Possible future additions or changes to Death Shroud
Would it be a good thing if different weapons gave different abilities in Death Shroud?
Differences in PvP and PvE
Underwater & Death Shroud
How the mechanics of Life Force drain work in both taking damage and natural decay

The wall is mainly for the protection on me. You are right about the in-between as I don’t really have a guild yet (wish I did) to play tpvp with. As I am by myself I decided to try a more defensive type power build over yours.

I don’t want to be a glass cannon, but I would like to use daggers along with DS. My main defensive choice was DS and I would like to use it a bit, but its not the main focus. I would say this build would be more of 1/3 time spent in staff, daggers, and DS.

Hey Khalifa, I was wondering what your thoughts were on this off shoot build from yours

It is mainly for spvp and not tpvp. I sacrificed a little bit of damage to gain stability on DS and more survivability. I don’t plan on this being a pure DS build, but the traits are there to not lose that much damage when I do go into DS. The first 2 utilities are mainly for fighting against bunkers

This is my next build that I plan on testing for mainly a DS build. The talents focus on survivability while making sure to generate huge amounts of life force in order to dance in and out of Death Shroud.

While outside of DS I picked dagger/focus and staff for the power/precision build play, and the spectral talents are there to keep me alive. With +20% boon duration, Last Grasp, and Spectral Attunement I will have huge amounts of uptime for protection while regaining life force to once again go into DS.

This is still a work in progress, and I am still debating between Berserker and Knight amulets. I hope others will also try this out and give me some good feedback!

Best armor looks ever!

Ah ok, I was just wondering as I am trying to get the most out of the class that I am loving and was wondering if i was just doing it wrong. Thanks

That’s the thing Tony, I am using it immobilize = dagger3 ability. Every time i go through the chain they can always escape the well area with a roll before the charge hits if I do an auto attack chain before the charge

It is frustrating to say the least hehe. Thank you for the replies and help btw

Hey Tony I have a question for ya. I tried that combo of yours and it just doesn’t work out for me. Every time the opponent is able to roll out before golem charge hits. I use dagger3/wells*2/auto attack chain/flesh golem charge. How do you get the charge to go off before they roll out of the well? its like a .5 – 1 sec opportunity for them to escape.
