Guild Wars 2

EdgarMTanaka.7291:

I would need to try these builds before I could give good grades but I will go for what I think.

This is just an opinion and I am far from a top player but I do love to make my own builds and I do like it when other players make their own builds instead of Meta meta meta all the time.

Power berserker ?/10
I rarely play Warrior, atleast in PvP. They are pretty bad atm and old Rampage Warrior meta seems better than Elite Specced Warrior I like your build though and if I play a warrior soon I will try this build just to see what I can do with it but I do not have much hope for it sadly.

Healer/buffer druid 6/10
Meta Druid can dish out a good amount of damage and heal themselves and partymembers, I think this one can be good if current Bunker meta is nerfed.

Condition reaper 4/10
In my opinion, blood fiend is a bad healing and as the build is not a pure MM it makes it even worse as it is to easy to focus down and there goes your only healing. Except for the chill the Greatsword do not have that many condition damage and I think that Scepter would do much better damage and can provide with another condition transfer or a daze and swiftness.

Condition Tank dragonhunter 6/10
Well I think that a power guardian is much better than a condition one, but I may be wrong. It does look like you won’t be able to keep up the burning as long as it seems that you want too and will result in a pretty big DPS loss. Also to be able to withstand damage you also need skills to cleance conditions. Blocks do remove conditions, maby go for Focus instead of shield? But is that enough? Shelter instead of Recieve the light?

Condition Vampire thief 1/10
Sorry I am not good with thiefs but played some with them. In PvP lifesteal for thief is not very good I think. When I hit a thief they loose most of their HP and with the current meta with some many skills with reveal I think a thief without DD spec is a dead thief. I have an OK DD condition spec that specializes on Poison with 2xDagger deathblossom and dodge with trait Lotus training and more.

Condition Shooter scrapper 6/10
A good idea in my opinion but I think it will die pretty easy even though you got a few defencive skills. Turret will be broken in a few hits and won’t give enough conditions as hit has quite low range. Against a Tempest you will stand zero chance. Hmm…

Thanks for a real reply.

Regon Phoenix.8215:

They key thing of this post is this: could experienced players rate how viable my builds would be in current state of pvp? I need no suggestions and complicated answers on what is good or bad. All i need is a number: from 1 to 10 how good each of builds are.

Yeah, not going to happen, huh? I asked several numbers to be written, but i get all kind of unwanted answers. How hard is to write a number?

Look here is example:
1) 5/10
2) 4/10
3) 7/10
and so on…

SolarDragon.7063:

Why don’t people look at traits before calling builds stupid? Chill becomes a condition.

Anyway, looking at your necro build, it’s very, very glassy and necros attract a lot of fire already. You would probably have to play it too conservatively to gain full benefit. But it could be an interesting teamfighter to duck in and out with.
That said, swapping the GS out for scepter/dagger is probably more viable, since given the glassiness of the build, engaging in melee range out of shroud is quite possibly going to get you obliterated.

So, necro build isn’t very viable?
Something about 6/10?

Why people answer with unhelpful stupid rhetorical questions is beyond me.

First of all, i know that mostly all people here dislike pvp as it is now. Lack of balance, bruisers, condition builds and other stuff.

However, i am still looking forward into pvp. Just done leveling one character to 80 (still collecting hero points for elite specialization, but that much of hero points is just stupid), so i am thinking about leveling an alt character to not drop the game, because HOT areas are extremely boring and unfun.

They key thing of this post is this: could experienced players rate how viable my builds would be in current state of pvp? I need no suggestions and complicated answers on what is good or bad. All i need is a number: from 1 to 10 how good each of builds are.

Those builds reflect how i would like to play these classes. If that way is not viable, then give it 1. If it is viable, but not the best way to play it, then give it something between 4 and 8. If it is great build, then between 9 and 10.

Builds:

Power berserker http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?vJAQNAnXTn8cAldg1kCWhAkiglfA7d6Wd/uGLgAQBA52lDqBA-TZxFAB+u/gAPAAFOCAVVGAgTBAA

Condition Vampire thief http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?vZAQRAqY8anMJCFNhNNBePB0PhDYiiXoBxOoTgAoA8fxiOiA-TpRAQBf4gAIw9HAwDAofHBA+VGIanAAA

Condition Shooter scrapper http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?vdAQJAqancoCFpi1XBWVBEqiF2ii+3P+kH8DLxAIcpuoXD-TJRAwAAeAABOBAlLDwc/BA

Why i would like to play these classes like that:

Power berserker: i like that he would have lots of health and do lots of damage, could easily break out of stuns and stay at the target with jums/dashes/charges.

Healer/buffer druid: i like that he would do lots of and lots of healing, buffs allies and himself with boons, do average damage trough pet and keep his team alive.

Condition reaper: chilling, bleeds, burns and all other conditions sounds like fun while also having a way to transfer all condition from himself to an enemy.

Condition Tank dragonhunter: i like idea of dealing moderate damage, moderate healing, but still have pretty good survival and support team. On paper it looks nice, because it have constant average dps, constant average healing and still should be pretty tanky.

Condition Vampire thief: mainly because of that huge life steals, stealths, range damage, blinks/teleports/shadowsteps. It looks like this build would have amazing sustain while beings very hard to get close to. Also, i like pistols.

Condition Shooter scrapper: well i like pistols and the fact that this build should be equally good against range enemies and melee enemies. It do damage at long range, but can do even more devastating damage up close.

So, how viable these are (from 1 to 10) in current state of pvp?

Thanks. I will try them out.

Which stats affect minions? Which weapon is best for minion builds?

Sorry, i am new here. In battle grounds (that pvp thing before WvW) everything seemed to work pretty normal. Sometime i kill someone, sometimes i get killed.

I really really new in this game and all i could gather by my self is that Mesmers and Ranger/Druids are OP. I am not sure what is good and what is needed.

So, for Necromancer/Reaper flesh wurm is a needed ability? 2 Pulls in his hit is not enough?

P.S. i like playing with pets. My favorite class in every game is summoner. Is there other classes/builds with viable pets?

So, i am new to this game and i just leveling two characters right now: Necromancer and Guardian. I did tried some battleground-style pvp and it was a lot of fun.

Still, i am not sure which one of those two would be better/more valuable/stronger in pvp games. I don’t really care that much about pve. So, i have made two builds (what and how i would like to play them) and i wonder what do experienced people think about them. Which one would be better in pvp:

Necromancer: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vRAQJARWjM0QrNWdDe2A7NWMGMqgQUoWF9zCAbr4eYQ8IC-TphBABPt/QEXAA8PCAlVGAgHAgGHCAA

Guardian: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vVAQNAT5en0ABFBhVBBWkittendil4BTuA2/SgVBgt0AwKEcveUA-TphAQBY4CA4hjAQA3fINlB43BBAAPAAA

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vRAQRArY4Yjk0QLN2cDe2AHOOwFqZR0EVBsNDgFIu1dw9C-T5QAABAcCACc/B+LDAA
is this better?
