Guild Wars 2

Yeah with the new update, this build gets super strong now. Especially with Symbolic Avenger, converting toughness to power too? And the massive crit chance from Radiance alone.

P.S. I posted this before the latest update.

And yes those are good ideas. We can really cut down our precision for more ferocity! Oh this excites me so much.

Tell me how it goes!

I made a build, by playing around with the Retributive Armor trait. You get lots of toughness and at the same time, lots of ferocity. It’s purpose is generally for PvE content.

Thoughts? (no hate pls)

I might get a lot of hate for this, but what if we get bonuses depending on how many pieces of a type or armour (e.g. Berzerker, Knight’s…) we wear. That way, there could be more options on which armour would be more viable on a specific situation and maybe making other armour sets become more viable in PvE situations.

Just a suggestion.

Thank you for pointing that out. Yes, I am trying to might stack to make up for the loss of power. Hahaha but I’m gonna consider changing and optimizing my build. Would you suggest ditching my crit chance for some more power?

As for condition cleansers, I’m switching to a 0/0/6/4/4 build with Soldier Runes or 0/0/6/6/2 with Dolyak Runes.

The reason why I stuck to Dolyak Runes is because I love Dolyaks (heh), the same reason goes for why I stick with a shield (the RP feel), although I hope they rework the shield skills. As for sentinel stats, I’ve made them already and I’m too broke to make a new set.

I really appreciate all these suggestions. I’m gonna tinker and experiment with these.

Thank you, good sir.

I have realized too that I don’t have much condi cleanse. So I came up with some other options…

The usual 0/0/6/6/2 AH and Pure of Voice (+EM) build or with 0/0/6/4/4 taking Absolute Resolution in the Virtue Tree.

I’ve also decided that Hammer would be better with this build since GS is better for high damage, my build depends on sustained raw power.

I also feel much more comfortable with SoR. But I’m gonna try out Shelter + Purity so you’d get the effects of both.

I understand, thank you for your opinions.

So I need some opinions/constructive criticism about a build I made, I’m wondering if this is viable. Don’t bother telling me not to use a shield or a Sentinel stat set, those are set in stone.

Also I am wondering which to use as a secondary weapon, GS or Hammer? GS has so much synergy with using a sword because of Blind Exposure and Powerful Blades but I’m also thinking about how good it feels to be using a hammer and it’s utility.

For my hammer build however, I’d take a point out of Radiance and put it in Virtues just to have those boons from activating virtues.

Also, this build is for all-around use. Mostly for WvW though.

Here’s the link to my build.
