Guild Wars 2

There is no single best PvP class, since PvP is a team match. On 1v1 those ranks are valid, but the synergy on the them is FAR more important. I.E. a friend and I (burst Thief + bunker Guardian) can change the course of almost any battle. If we have a ranged DPS with us, it gets even better. We should worry about team building, not 1v1 encounters (since most ppl retreat/get help when losing).

Wait, you think making Ascended items is all about standing around a Crafting Station?

Alright, well then, allow me to enlighten you:

Where do you get the wood, metal, leather and cloth to make your Ascended items? Did you buy it all from the Trading Post? Or did you go out into the world, through various level 20-80 zones to farm it all yourself?

Where did you get the Empyreal Fragments to make your Empyreal Stars? Surely not the Trading post. You should have found them on bosses throughout Tyria and the Mists, especially at the end of every dungeon and Fractal.

And speaking of Empyreal Stars, what about your Dragonite Ore to make your Dragonite Ingots? Did you buy them from the Crafting vendor near your Crafting Station? Or did you get them from World Bosses and Legendary Lords in the open world and WvW? You might have even gotten the bulk of it by doing Guild Missions with your buddies!

Gee willikers, sir/ma’am. It sure does sound like you got to see a lot of the world in your effort to craft an Ascended item. Its certainly nice to know you didn’t spend your entire time standing in front of a Crafting Station to make it. In fact, you probably did a lot of content to get there and may have made a few friends along the way.

You, sir, just made my day.

bad builds… bad builds everywhere

Can you elaborate, please?

I’m currently going for a somewhat balanced heavy support role (heal, boon and condition removal with some DPS, both in PvE and WvW). For that balance between attack and armor, what’s the sweet spot. I’m inclined to have around 3k on both and have shouts for cond removal (0/0/30/30/10 – with pure of voice and 6 runes of soldier).

Is it enough or the sky is the limit?

I use GS+Staff. GS for some damage and staff for support.
Staff 1 – Quick AoE
Staff 2 – Damage+heal in line with short CD with option to detonate for more heals
Staff 3 – Damage+Swiftness+Light combo field
Staff 4 – Heals+12 stacks of might
Staff 5 – Wall to keep enemies away while you rez the allies.
So you have heals, AoE, Might and Swiftness +a light combo field (retaliation and condition removal)
