Updated Bladesworn build WvW?

[Sarius.9285]

Has anyone figured out a good bladesworn build, now that shouts don't have the Elite Skill synergy/exploit anymore?

IDK if this would work in WvW, but this is pretty good in PvP:

okay looks interesting, but wouldn't the signet be better than the bladesworn elite?

Usually not. I mean, don't let me stop you from experimenting, but getting +1 to your gunsaber skills and an extra charge of Combat Stimulant is pretty huge. The extra ammo skills are especially nice if you're taking unshakeable mountain.

best is still the same except you swap on my mark with endure pain

stab is still there, so nothing really change in this part

the only thing changed was, no more reset on shout and shake it off being 1 charge and cd bug

there was some healing shave, but nothing else rivals it still, just make up the healing lose with endure pain

I was playing with this build today and I think I like it even better than the Def/tactics version I shared earlier

Why am I still using FGJ?  2 reasons:

1) you sorely lack with might and fury without it

2) you gain lots of endurance with each use from MMR (and some healing, too).  You have almost no active defenses on BS, so dodges are what really keeps you alive. Between MMR and the vigor from Warhorn 5, you can do a pretty good job of keeping yourself out of harms way.

 

This build really slaps, too.
