I just theorycrafted this build up,and I was wondering if anyone could take a look at it and tell me if this is something that will be viable for roaming/taking over camps in WvW.
EDIT: I forgot to add the link,here it is: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fMAQNAR8YnAVEYZlFaBhahAZVQP6H0E+B+z9w/8kQMlXdipUB-TsAA1CtIkRJjTGjMSZsyM+Y9xuBA
Weapon choices:
-The GS for roaming and stun plus block
-Sword and dagger mainly for the 3 evades plus you got a cripple on OH 5 for chasing,OH 5 works well with GS 3 for chasing.
Pet choices:
-Jungle Stalker for 5 might stacks
-Brown Bear for the combo with “Protect me!”,plus F2 cures condition every 25 sec.(Not much but still, it’s something). And of course for the brown bear pet skill “Defy Pain”,which gives you immunity to dmg for a few sec,every 45 sec.
Healing skill:
-Troll Unguent for the HOT effect on me AS WELL on my pet because I think it will work nice in conjunction with “Protect Me!”.
Utility Skills
-Signet of the Hunt for the obvious constant roaming speed.
-Lightning Reflexes for an evade plus 13 sec of vigor.
-“Protect me!” as 6 sec of invulnerability,now this is why I chose the Brown Bear. If possible I’ll always use “Protect me!” with the bear because of the high vitality the pet got (4k).
Elite Skill
-Entangle for the root and huge bleed stack.
Traits goes as this, 10,15,15,30,0
-10 Marksmanship for Opening Strike (Vulnerability on first strike) and Beastmasters Bond (Gain Fury and Might when your pets health reaches 50%).
-15 Skirmishing for Tail Wind (Gain Swiftness when swapping weapons in combat), Primal Reflexes (Gain 5 seconds of Vigor when struck by a critical hit,15 sec CD) and Furious Grip (Gain Fury when swapping weapons in combat).
-15 Wilderness Survival for Natural Vigor (Increases Endurance Regeneration by 50%), Vigorous Renewal (Gain Vigor when using a heal skill,works with Troll Unguent) and Companion’s Defense (You and your pet gain 2 seconds of protection when you dodge roll).
-30 Nature Magic for Rejuvenation (Gain regeneration when your health reaches 75%), Nature’s Protection (Receive Protection for 5 seconds when you take damage greater than 10% of your maximum health in a single strike. 30 sec CD), Fortifying Bond (Any Boon you get is shared with your pet), Two Handed Training (Extra 5% damage with GS), Bountiful Hunter (You and your pet deals 5% more damage while you have a Boon) and the last one, Nature’s Voice (Shouts apply Regenaration (10 sec) and Swiftness (10 sec) to allies. 360 degree radius. Obviously for the shout “Protect Me!”.
That covered the traits,now the armor,runes and sigils:
-Soldier stats with Superior Rune of Balthazar;
-POWER (480) Toughness (224) and Vitality (224)
You’ll also get a Burn for every heal you do, which lasts for 3,45 sec.
+ you get Haste for 5 seconds everytime your health falls below 20%,90 sec CD.
Trinkets,all soldier stats.
The sigil I chose for the GS is Superior Sigil of Energy ( Gain 50% of your endurance when you swap to this weapon in combat),one free dodge roll.
Same sigil on the MH sword but on the OH dagger I picked Superior Sigil of Life ( Gives +10 healing everytime you kill a foe,max 25 stacks). Just kill 25 mobs before you go roaming.
Now,criticism both positive and negative are very much appreciated! Atm I don’t have the option of recording footage of this build in action.
