First of all, sorry for my english, i’m not quite confortable with it but i’ll try.
I used to play ingi with rifle pre-Hot, then Hammer, then P/P condi, but i figure out: i wanna play with shiel (i like the reflection + double interrupt, it help a lot for reviving allies and kill this pew pew guards/ranger/pp thief.
So i’ve try 2 weeks playing p/s: then i figure out, i’ve got control so why not make it stronger at this. Little by little i’m coming to this build: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vdAQJAqencoC1ahFYBubBEqiFDjSMdChBkuxf8KPMAuv8D-TJhIAB8s/AAnAA/fAAyXGAA
I’ll try to explain!
The goals are:
- avoid condi and keep boons on you with “Iron blooded” and “Adaptative armor” you will be more tanky then ever.
- Try to get perma protection: From Shield abilities, Heal, Tool Belt from heal, even if u are stunt “Protection injection” could help.
- Cast blast combo: you can use 4 from shield, 2 from Flamethrower, 4 from Acide Bomb. On Fire fields from Flamethower you will get power stacks, On Water from Tool Belt you can have heal, then extra heal for you allies, and of course cancel condi by Elixir Gun.
- remove condi: Use Elixir C in priority then Elixir Gun, you will have plenty of boons, so more tankyness from “Iron Blooded”.
- Heal over time: Make sure to use 2 on Elixir gun, you will benefit heal from swiftness, then 5 also provide good heal, enough for sustain in the battleground
I know this build can’t do as damage as somes but in fact the help you can give to the team + little bit condi damage could help, espacially fire and poison (confusion is not a priority, keep it for thief who run from battle it will stop them fast).
For the gear: Sage’s amulet is perfect, nothing to say. Rune of monk is a personal choice, Dolyak can work for heal over time, or even Scavenging. Sigil are there for extra damage and 100% to have power (it helps for “Iron Blooded”).
Sneak Gyro can be replace by Mortar for an extra heal + elixir and poison field.
If u have advice let me know.
PS: I’ve win the 10 last ranked in gold with that build, i don’t know if it could work in platine but it works (and great by the way!)
