Sampson.2403 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I like to play the OP busted stuff. Played condi / one shot mirage when they were OP. Was playing Rev these last couple of seasons but this recent patch screwed that up.So, tell me, what is the new cancer? I hope its not the CI mirage build because I've never liked the tankier, node camping stuff. I like being a predator, preferably with ports.

sinsrock.1702 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 play Trap DH its pretty bursty and people dont see it enough to learn how deal with it hahaha, check out some of my vids you'll see what i mean, Tryfox95 is my youtube channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephoid.4263 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I had a FA weaver yesterday doing 20k bursts in <1s on my 1300T firebrand. (lightning strike, plasma beam, arcane blast). Of course, its FA weaver and has almost no sustain, but the new buffs seem to have been rather significant. Rampage is still silly and magebane tether didn't get touched.DD is quite a pain with the new traps. Seal Area+ Vault is rather annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a nice little bit of nostalgia to see DH trappers back in PvP. It's still quite a lazy build and a piece of cake to take them apart if you know what to look for, but it's a fine way to drop people that aren't paying attention.

Kaozkrayken.9570 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Sounds like you like bursty rotating classes.Fresh Air Sceptre Weaver is most likely your best bet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otto.5684 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 As far as I have seen, Weaver is slightly better and scrapper is worse. Everything else is the same.Trap DH? You do know there were not changes to traps damage or application, right? And please do not tell me you have issues with DH running zeal and/or radiance. These can be killed by anything looking in their general direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falan.1839 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Same ones like before, just without Soulbeast and Rev a bit normalised. Mirage, Spellbreaker, Holo, FB/Scourge are all still good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have nothing to lose if a spec gets nerfed because I'll bandwagon onto whatever is strongest.This season on various alts:Mirage - p3 naHolo - p3 na | p3 euWeaver - p2 na (few games though, super boring spec to play)Deadeye - haven't played yet, but intend toI honestly believe all of these builds are busted, and I will abuse them in ranked until they're nerfed. Also common to all is that they remained untouched despite being top tier pre patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exedore.6320 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I ran into a thief build which one-shot me. 18k backstab and change. If it doesn't get the kill, it's pretty squishy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of build you use for trap DH? I used to ran that ages ago in WvW, but the lack of mobility always killed it for me. Would probably work better for PvP.im currently running valk amulet and Trapper runes, before you sneeze at trapper runes understand my reasoning, it enables you to re position very easily which is something DH lacks as a class as well as set up perpetration when using trueshot or spear of justice as far as traits im usingRadiance - 3,3,3Virtues - 1,2,3DH -112someone in the above comments did mention that DH is not the greatest and people that know how to counter it is very true but i will say ive beaten even some of the best players i know in duels etc because they really arnt expecting trapper runes, for my skills i useLongbowS/ShPurification , Test of faith , Fragments of Faith , "Save yourself" and last renewed focus, i played a game last night where i took every medal you can get in ranked even healing, so the build CAN do work if the person knows how to engage, disengage and rotate correctly, you WILL not win every fight so just know when to use a trap and stealth off :) super useful for disengage :) hope this helps >@otto.5684 said:As far as I have seen, Weaver is slightly better and scrapper is worse.

These can be killed by anything looking in their general direction.Yes im aware the traps had no changes but the buff to longbow is what i was referring to :) i am not running zeal i considered it but yea your right WAY to squishy haha but trap runes offset that a little because stealth is easily one of the best defenses in game Hope this helps some people if they want to give it a try also feel free to add me in game id love to help more out i think DH can get kinda slept on sometimes and its more of a traditional hunter in my eyes ! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PvP wise, contrary to the believe, changes to zeal are a bit negative. Higher damage potential, but loss in consistency and loss in sustain. Biggest guardian PvP build winner this patch is surely DH. The change to LB 3 is much bigger benefit that I though it would be. It still does not make DH competitive, but I think in the right hands it could be taken to P3.Scrapper vanished from sPvP. I have only seen 1 in almost 10 games since the patch. I used to see 1 at least every 2 games.I have only seen 1 condi chrono, played by a mesmer player that I recognize (someone skilled with the class). Did not do well.I have seen some really weird thief stuff this patch. None of it works. It is just weird. I keep hearing about condi thief builds dishing some insane damage. They do not seem any different than before. It is more of some condi DD thief going to side node and trolling a clueless player or two. Guardian is still the class I see the most in sPvP. Though, very rarely I see anyone play it well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
