While this is still true putting weakness on the mobs will mitigate the damage he can't avoid. @"Rantber.5901" Try the Death Magic traitline if you need more Defense.Training wheels: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PSgAYFlJw4YOMGWJOyOuNLA-zRIURUxfGBKFKVF4zpRAzAA-e Once you are comfortable: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PSgAYFlJw+YKsDWJOyWlNfA-zRQURwTUxKjOrgwTBbnGBMDA-e You should dodge and if you can walk out of the red circles. If you can't, use blind and weakness. You can use the blinds to give you a window to face tank and push your DPS hard, but you'll have to kite after that or abuse your pulls, fears, and stuns. I put Berserker's gear in the first link, because well you should run that anyway and Death Magic should provide you with a good amount of toughness and protection.The second link is Valkyrie's gear mostly just for min maxing, you'll get a large amount of precision and crit chance when in shroud and putting vulnerability on the foe so you can take more Vitality. This is so have a larger shroud pool. You can take full Valkyrie's and Death Magic if you feel you need more tankiness, Dang man thank you for setting those builds up for that’s so cool of you! I actually just swapped blood magic into my build and now I’m surviving just fine. Kill things a little bit slower, but it works out just fine. Thanks so much for the answer friend!
