Guild Wars 2

Make a P/D condi build. Kill any warrior stupid enough to fight you.

Do u guys think its worthy to get a set of perplexity runes right now, with the changes around the corner? Or should I wait and save my money?

The build looks fun, gonna give it a try tonight

Very nice vid! Would be nice to see the build used in it =)

Yep, completely forgot those traits. I’ll probably get some dire though.

Another question: Lately I’ve been seen A LOT of elementalist using the Diamond Skin trait. It’s just closely to impossible to cause enough damage with the staff or scepter for the conditions to start work . And when I do, they just heal. Am I missing something here or it’s the perfect counter for PU Condition builds?

Do we need that precision on the rabid set? Wouldn’t dire be better?

what is your goal for wvw? zerging or roaming?

Roaming!

if u plan on doing only 1v1 or MAYBE mediocre enemies on 1v2 then d/p is the way to go. if u play on doing 2v2 or 1v2 or 1v3 etc then id say p/d is the way to go. basically direct dmg for even 1v1 s and p/d carrion condi for larger attrition fights.

Traits? 5/0/30/15/20?

Why carrion over dire?

So, I just hit 80 with my thief. Been looking around and these two playstyles caught my attention.

I’ll use my thief basically for roaming and small group fights. I searched for a few pages but failed to find a topic with the “meta” D/D and D/P builds for WvW roaming. Could you guys post the most common build (traits, trinkets, armors, weapons, buffs…) for both D/D and D/P? If it was already answered on another topic (probably), just link me to it, that will do too ^^

Thanks!

Ok, looks like all started 2~3 days ago. Would be nice to hear from the tech guys…

Unable to play since last friday. Latency always above 400ms.

Yep, really nice vid. Keep it coming

Currently playing a condition mesmer. Don’t like to fight really good phantasm mesmers. Other than that, I really need do mess things up pretty bad to lose on a 1 × 1 situation.

So, I’m trying this build for roaming and it seens very good so far, but I feel that the toughness is pretty low. My status with buffs are:

power: 2065, precision: 1900, toughness: 1368, vitality: 1772, critical damage: 86%

Armor all exotic berserker but the chest which is knight’s.

Trinkets all exotic: cavalier’s amulet, rings and one accessory. One accessory and back are soldier’s.

Weapons are all exotic berserkers.

So, the low toughness is expected? The equipments are OK? Should I change something? Remember, I’m using it for WvW only, nothing else. I want it to be good at solo roaming and small group fights, don’t care about zergs. Thanks!

That’s killing me I love conditions builds, such as Blackwater’s and Contition Cat, but I keep going back to Blackdevil’s Hybrid for the centaur runes. (and it’s also a awesome build, but i feel it’s not as strong as conditions pu builds are against BS thiefs, what is kind of important to my at the moment).

What do u condition mesmers do? I thought about put centaur runes even if the stats it provides are completely useless for a condition build, but I felt it would just make the build inviable with 1400ish condition damage.

I’m using this build and having a lot of fun, but I’m having trouble against those thiefs with perma-stealth that just stun you and hit u for like 10k.

I’m not a “gw2 scholar” or anything, been playing with mesmer since the beginning, so I dont really know anything bout other classes.

Any tips on how to counter this?

Or hidden cat. Get some soldiers trinckets for some toughness and vitality and put Exquisite Emerald in them.

I’d recommend Centaur Runes instead of Ruby Orbs. The Perma-Swiftness is priceless.

I’ve just changed the staff for sword/pistol, and it’s just awesome. And I really don’t miss the staff for defense purposes. If I need to be defensive, I have 2 blocks and 4 invis to use, that’s more than enough to get me out of trouble.

I dont get that. If people start fighting me, get their kitten kicked and run to the closest tower, I’ll just /wave and go on with my bussiness. It’s nice to be feared.

On the DPS topic, is it possible to defeat the arah’s path 2 final boss with a 10/20/0/25/15 mesmer? Any tips on the matter?

I’d like to know that as well. Almost every build for PVE is for DG only, with a lot of reflections and stuff.

I’m currently opening the map, and a good DPS PVE build would be awesome.
