Currently thinking this as a PvE DPS build. Unsure about a second weapon or not. Basically the plan is to proc quickfire every 10 seconds using the added aegis and then using the shattered aegis trait for damage from it.

I’m currently deciding on if I want the crit from righteous instincts instead. If I did that I would likely switch to wrathful spirit and/ or healer’s retribution.

If quickfire doesn’t proc on the user then I will change to lore master and swap to virtures for permeating wrath and unscathed contender.

Ah that makes sense thanks!

Do we need the sigil of transference honestly? I haven’t had any difficulty keeping a raid squad healed up with just the zeolt gear and some food. Typically the only time someones dies is when they screw up a mechanic (like gets teleported or something). That would open up a sigil slot or two if we don’t keep sigil of water and instead we can camp staff when we need heals and sword + shield or mace + shield or axe if going condi.

You are absolutely right we lose DPS no matter where we go, but i’m trying to minimize that loss.

If we get a gear slot with something like Condi + Healing + Expertise + Concentration that would be perfect in my opinion (that is in no particular order BTW). Likewise if we got something with Power + Concentration + Healing + Precision that would also be great.

How do you do that damage modifier calculation out of curiosity?

That’s a good claim for devestation over invocation for sure. Now i’ll just have to work up to 7% crit chance.

See the reason i’m trying to go for extra damage is because we can’t offer the buffs of a druid. The only way we are going to “replace” a druid is if we offer something else. In this case we have to offer more DPS than the average druid to try and make up for the fact that we lack the buffs.

Honestly I may consider not using shared empowerment. As long as there is a PS warrior we shouldn’t really need to add that extra might. Then we can run bolster fortifications to add extra protection.

As for condi. In theroy condi should take less stat investment than healing (power builds ned: precision, ferocity and power condi juts needs condition damage and expertise), but then it makes devastation a dead stat line for us and we would have to go in a condi exclusive group so we could just not worry about adding ferocity.

Also if using herald in a condi build our grandmaster traits are all useless…

I’ll start by saying we all know that support rev (and rev in general) won’t be meta, but that won’t stop me from trying and trying to make the build as strong as possible.

Currently I have this

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vlEQNAW5unnN2gSyJvQRNlbosoyPU4U5IKIs8ElFflxe3gLeNgDegtjPKB-TxRGQBXS5XlU/BAPBgJpbgI7PIgLCAFVCSKAvmaB-e

My experience has been so far that this build provides adequate healing along with 25 might stacks (spam blast finisher + fire field) and some alacrity, but does like 3-8k DPS maximum…

My main goal is to be able to take the place of a druild if need be.. I lack the buffs offered by the druid which means I have to be able to make up for that with my own personal DPS or some other thing.

I can change something to devastation for assassin’s presence.

Dropping invocation takes away my 7% extra damage plus I’ll need more precision to reach 100% crit.
Ggetting rid of herald, I lose the might ability, elder force, facet of nature as well as concentration in general.
I could also consider dropping salvation, but I haven’t tested how well I heal without it, plus I lose alacrity.

Now there is also the final option of switching to a condi build:
In that case I would want to run corruption somewhere.
For that build I can scrap devastation and just place me with all of the condi damage dealers.
I am tempted to run invocation still because I will gain 7% condi damage then I could either scrap herald or likely switch it to renegade instead.

As for build there i’m tempted to see seraph’s gear, but I don’t need the concentration in this build if I do end up doping herald and the might stacking (assuming someone else would have that covered). Then switch to crit based sigil (since i’ll be at 100% crit chance). There is also shamans and apothecary and the weapon swap sigil.

At this point i’m going to wait to see what the PoF stat lines are before changing anything
