skystorm.9280 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Just wondering if there is a streamer or YT vid to check out or a good build to follow for a power rev/herald for wvw small group roaming.I have my mats for the most part just wondering what gear to make for him and which trinkts to buy for him.

skystorm.9280 Posted August 4, 2018 Author Share Posted August 4, 2018 I saw a build ages ago like soldier armor with surging runes or leadership runes cant remember, zerker trinkets and weps, S/S + Staff and like invocation, devastation, herald traitlines but like i said I dont want to invest in those ascended armors/ trinks and then find a better build for them. Playstyle is I like to be in there with melee, dont really like the whole hammer backline but i have a hammer either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The build is pretty much the same since HoT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narcx.3570 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Glint/ShiroMaruader/Zerker/Zerker+Valkyrie Mix as needed... Go as much Zerk as you feel like you can get away with. (Personally I use Maruader Chest/Legs, Staff, and OH Sword... The rest Zerk, except one ring and one trinket are "Berserker + Valkyrie" from Fractals.)Durability Runes. (Leadership or Surging are also strong choices.)Mix of Power/Toughness WvW Infusions.Sword/Sword/Staff (Hammer for Zergs) Lots of sigils work here... Personally I use either Air/Force/or Blood on my swords and Hydro/Energy on my Staff.Devestation 2-3-X, Invocation 1-3-3, Herald X-1-1 (All the grandmaster traits in Dev are really good) (All the first tier traits in Herald are okay, I usually go superspeed on stunbreak or Hardening Persistence to make up some toughness.)That's my standard roaming setup... It transitions pretty well and lazily into Zerg play by just swapping in a Hammer. Although obviously someone in full zerk + scholar runes is going to out dps you, it's a zerg, so it's whatever. :bleep_bloop: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because like, guards on their own are not a problem, but if an enemy is there too, you're most likely going to be focusing down the player and tanking the guard hits, not the other way around.Plus, while moar power is always awesome for those bursts, I think 100-180 extra toughness goes a lot further in solo roaming when you're already wearing so much Zerker gear... It could be just what you need to survive until that next i-frame or heal comes off cooldown when yer taking dives or fighting outnumbered.

There is also the ability to rally off of them. If you want more survivability look to -10% foods.https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Food#Damage_Reduction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
