If you already have the elite spec then this should do fine

If you want you can swap out Dwarf legend for Shiro. I havent used Dwarf in a LOOOONG time. I just do open world with Glint/Shiro. But dwarf is tankier if you want to take on a lot of mobs at the same time. Axe helps with mobility also compared to shield.

All the gear can be bought on Trading Post.

thanks man

Hi!

I have a 80 Rev and today I decided to make a full map completion on him (yay!).
Please suggest me a strictly PvE build with gear, which give me decent mobility while traveling on the map, aoe for tagging in events and quest chains, and survival for the HoT map completions. I have money for whatever gear, won’t do any WvW or dungeon/fractal, only dynamic events and map exploration.

thank you guys

Although I use a razer naga, I bind my F keys to Alt+1 Alt+2… so I can change stance, use class specific skills without moving my thumb from the 1-5 skill keys on the side of the mouse.

Thanks guys, appreciate your answers. I will give a try to engi, let’s see what I can do. Once I was really good with him, and that was with 3 kit now that we have gyros it will be much easier.
Yeah we should not use builds to carry, but that is a PvP rank system/match making issue. Me loosing every second match because bad teams are another.
To be honest I don’t have any idea how could this be fixed. Everybody want to play as they like, maybe they like to watch youtube while capping a point (lol) or just play for trolling me. The best thing I can come up with is Ranked being forbidden until you won like 50-100 unranked match. That will be enought to know what you should do in ranked. The other soulution is you being kicked from ranked after like 5-6 loose streak, and you have to win 10-20 unranked match just to be able to compete again. This will be very bad for soloquers at the beginning but later on, we would have more skilled players in the league.

Hi!

After a few thousand of unranked match, a few days ago I decided to take part of this new season. I have played the game since release, actually i was one of the preorders. I left it before HoT and come back just for the sake of PvP. As I see it the lower divisions are full of kittens. 2 peaple go to close at start, if I go far one is following me not answering why, peaple left half decapped and half capped points, losing too much in 1vs1 far from points… the list goes on. Meanwhile, calling me a noob, a looser, and different names, while I rarely loose on any 1vs1 and sometimes won 1vs2s, and theese are fight on points.
The question is in the title, what class shoul I play to carry bad teams the best, up until ruby (where I truly hope things are settled and I will get much less frustration).
I almost always que solo. Played every class except rev.
My main was a condi warri before it was cool, now I start to loose interest as every warrior is condi. The problem is with warri, I don’t have enough mobility and group support.
I have tried thief, but as my bad team start to die I can’t +1 fast enough and sonner or later the domino effect will catch me in 2vs1.
I have tried ele, but if my team does not peel for me, I get focused and bursted down as soon as I left water.

So, what is the best class to carry teams in low division?

thanks, a frustrated player

Hi!

I was a warrior before HoT release. Now that I returned to the game I face a lot of difficulties. The new mobs are a lot harder to solo as warrior (they cast smoke screen, snipe, torment, evade, shadowstep…).
What build is considered good and easy while leveling and mastery/hero point farming in HoT? Shoild I stick with my old full zerk 2h sword gear, or change it to soldier?
The condi warrior is viable now?
Should I change my good old healing signet for a more reliable heal?
A don’t want to solo everything, but killing veterans would be good, and I would like to be able to tag mobs while in an event, without instantly die in melle range.
I love this game but i struggle with warrior (almost at the end of the story with my stupid crazy minionmaster, but i have a crush for warriors ).

TymX, I can safely confirm that I have 3526 maximum armor. With Settler amulet (Toughness ; condition damage ; healing power.).

About the Earth Attunement combo. 2 —> 5 is not a combo. 5 --->2 then signet of Earth is more of start for a combo.

Earth Shield. The combo is not 3, 1, 1 ,1; It is 3, 1 ,1, 2.

Earth Shield. Instead of 3, 111 —> Signet. Try if you have time to 4, Signet of E, 1,1,1 (at the back) and 2 (or add another full 111 rotation).

Also, I understand that a video will be necessary to give an idea on how to play the build.

Thank you for your reply. I checked my stats today, and now they matches yours. It must have been some minor bug, my stats not updating after the amulet change or something. Now I will try practicing some more, while waiting for that video
Thank you for working on this.

Alekt.5803:

Hp is exactly 11905. Base armor is 3226; 3526 buff.

How do you get these stats in game? With the settler amulet and 6 in earth i still only have 2607 armor, 2727 when attuned to earth. With the shield in my hand, it will go up to 2907 in earth, but this is the maximum.
(all of this with the signet of earth passive toughness)

I tried the build for like 10 match and these are my experiences:
-in solo Q you have zero chance to earth 2 water 3/5 heal your party
-almost no one will stay in my earth 2 water 4 neither the enemy, nor my party for the aura
-at the beginning of the match as an aoe denial build, i will be most useful in group fights in the middle. However one hit from a ranger or a thief and there goes my diamond skin, and i should switch to water and abandon my dps just to get it back
-earth shield is cool, almost no one know that, they don’t know what to do against it
-you can’t beat a good cele engi, cele warri, or cele d/d
-you can type /dance against a condi necro/ranger and still cap the point
-a shoutbow alone will cleanse all your conditions
- a shoutbow alone will never kill you
- no stability is hurting, I was constantly interrupted, shortly after any good team realized what i was playing. No stomps, no meteor, not even earth shield cast is not fun at all (against bad teams, it was better, i was randomly interrupted with no reason )
-earth 2,5 -> shield 3,1,1,1 -> singnet of earth ->shield 4 ,1,1 combo will melt almost anyone in 1vs1

My conclusion:
The build would work well in an organized group, who will peel for you, and stay in your blasted water fields for heal, but the worst your team, the worst your build become.
Against the current tPvP meta with cele engi, and cele D/D and medi guard, this build is handicapped. However in wvw where in 10 enemy 8 is either pu mesmer or pistol dagger thief, it will shine. This is from someone who is not great, and not even very experienced. I have to abandon the build until I see you or someone else play it in solo Q, and show me how to play it competitevily.

Hi!

I really like your guide, it looks like fun, and something different than my usual d/d cele build. There are a few thing missing on the metabattle page, but you did a great work.
I would like to ask you to make a video tutorial, showing how you use this spec, in tpvp or wvw. You don’t have to own everybody, or show exceptional skill, just show us the basic mechanics and how you use them under pressure. I will definitely sub for you on youtube if you do so
