Guild Wars 2

hello. is it possible or has anyone tried to obtain either perma protection, regen or retal using giver armor and trinkets (11%), choco cream (20%), 30pts in virtues (30%), 2 pc superior rune of water and 4 pc superior rune of altruism (30%). from the numbers, i guess it can be done.

my next question would be, is it a good build to try to obtain/use in pve or www?

thanks.

ok. sorry regarding my last statement, i was looking at the gw2 builder and it showed knight armor as power/prec/vitality when the crafted gear is actually power/prec/toughness.

so i would have higher toughness but with alot less vitality…so the question remains, would this spec allow to play upfront or or is it recommended to use vitality trinkets?

hey brutal, understood on the traiting.

i got tough/power/vital set with soldier but always used sh/ma and sw/foc. i was thinking of swapping in hammer with this guide, possibly knight hammer or the hotw hammer. i play mainly tank or “meat shield”

that said, utility skills are normally, SY, WoR and SoJ. this would seem to be consistent still with your guide.

however, on the traits, it is not clear to me the benefit of Retributive Armor. my crits% is pretty low, close to 5-6%. RA would bring this up to about 10%. honorable shield makes sense but it goes against the hammer spec.

if i go 30honor, then choice would be BP or PoV.

my “on paper in WvWvW” playstyle w/ hammer would be a melee train with warriors/thieves. i never had knight’s armor so i assume knights armor brings this up to your acceptable level of 40-60% crit. i am worried that the low toughness with knights wouldnt even allow me to play upfront.

brutality, can you pls repost your builds. it does not seem to be showing the trait skills chosen. thanks.
