I am not experienced with linking builds so i cant help there. I run 0-20-20-30-0 with vigourous shouts and 3 shout utlilities. I use hammer/rifle in PvE, Dungeons. Hammer/longbow in WvWvW. I use all Power/toughness/vitality gear w Soilder runes.
I have yet to find anything better for overall gameplay. Yes there is better dps and such, but I find dps overrated in this game. When your on your back not only are you not doing any dps niether is the guy rezzing you.
Also I do switch out the hammer for sword/horn in circumstances and switch the major traits, but leave the 0-20-20-30-0 overall.
Azarul, what tactics do you use for your arms tree? oportunist seems really synergistic with “3” hammer, 20% rifle is great for boss fights, unsuspecting foe for extra dps, furious speed and vuln stacking are tempting but, is it worth a slot? i always run hammer/rifle, any hints is appreciated, thanks!
