Guild Wars 2

Just wondering how many others use (or what do they think of) this build.

Playstyle,
spam 1 and 5 on dd
use sb for might stacking or pulling

Pros.
ok damage
good self healing
ok blinds
Cons.
not min maxing at anything (dps, blinds)
not as exciting and can make for a lazy, none to skilled, play style.

for most dungeons/30-50 fotm
I like to run

the last slot I like to run either glyph of storms or ice bow.

If we already have good might/fury I go for total dps.

hang out in fire as much as you can spamming 1,2 and some times 5

but this is just my opinion :P

thank you very much!

I’m confused by how the spirits “boon” works. Does it only activate once per time the boon is applied?
The water spirit can have a 70% chance to heal on hit but it does not heal half often enough for this to be true.
If it only can activate once every 6sec then vigorous spirits is only good for the extra hp it gives the spirit.( I assume that people are attacking at least once per second.)
I read here on the forums that I need to bring Frost Spirit, but if it only gives one attack per 6 sec that can have a 10% damage buff I question it’s necessity unless you are doing everything you can to maximize dps.

I hope I am wrong.

build viable?
Is it possible to actually use the pet as a real asset? I’m quite new to ranger and only have an outsiders view of pets but they seem to be all tanks or messing something up. How is pet dps?

Any guess on between what dates ascended armor may be released?
Any guess if the dragonite bloodstone or empyril mats will be useful?

I don’t have much gold to toss around but I kinda want to change my characters armor/weapons style. But I don’t want to if there will be a new potentially cool looking armor set coming out.

Hope some people can share their theories.

with toughness being one of the primary things affecting aggro. Could a mesmer be the best at safely holding down a boss/mobs most tender attentions? I was wondering if a build that had really really high toughness and could pump out clones could completely lock down the attention of npcs?

something sorta like

any one ever tried something like this b4 in a dungeon and is this as cool as I hope it is?
[edit] with an eye towards 40+ fotm

Looks like a solid trait setup to me. Biggest thing imho is either go full zerker or get a mix of rampager/celestial. Only other thing I can say is in many situations it’s better to focus on either shatter or phantasm.

one option to have better phantasms. (zerker prefered)

oh and make certain you are drinking your master maintenance oil, you seem to be a little low on crit rate and it’s making your high-ish crit damage less useful.

hope this helps alittle XD

I was wondering if something like
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fgAQNAW8dl4zionUzhGa9IipH9Gy5bnUEdOXJF42FC-jwCBodCyEIwEBQUCA5dFRjtsNsVXRr8KI6ZER1qbYGxFRrWEAzaA-e
could be useful or just silly XD

main reason for this thread is I want to try something new that I can still use my zerker ascended while I can craft any armor and weap

@Nretep: Thank you for your suggestions, I’ll certainly try some. reason for the rage rune is it procs a surprisingly large amount it give crit damage (also I did not know I could put orbs there :o)

here’s what I’ve been running though i’m not pro.
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fgAQNAR8dlwzaqHVzqGaNJxpCMHNDs7dSKUdqLfA3A-jwCBYLDRGpBjCAjoAmsAgKIRJPFRjtUqIas6aYKXER1GxFRrWGgqFA-e

the basic phantasm build with minor tweeks. Mirror images for the f4 shatter. I like the way izerker works on mobs and bosses. Masses of mobs: temporal curtain placed on wall—>into the void—> iwarden—>leap—>swap—>blurred frenzy—>roll away—>izerker. Bosses: GS and devise stratagems XD

Damage dealer and some cc. I join pug groups for fotm40+ and this works well with any party.

Asking if any of the pro-mesmers out there can share their high lvl fotm builds and general play philosophy.
(new to forums so not certain if a topic like this has been started b4)

soooo no one even going to toss an insult my way? :’(

I’m trying warrior and had 3 questions. Just now i’m lvl 37 going on 80 and primarily do pve (dungeons) though I dabble in wvw and pvp.

1)axe/axe looks really cool!!!!!! any way to run that in a practical manner?

2) http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIAQJARUjcOZv1QCP4wBAzjfAqojCqYSpYu7A-jwxAYrARECUyrIasFuioxqrxUlER1eDioaZAqGDA-e

how does this look? i’m thinking the 40% food and 50% signet stam regen I can go lower armor. no idea what healing is better (i’ve been using the healing signet and it seems to work alright)

3) I have a fotm rifle is the warrior gun: generally useful? situational? or silly? and is there a way to primarily use it for a power build and not just a condition build?

Thanks in advance for the help and sugjestions
