Fb dps worth making?

[zealex.9410]

Just saw the nerf to fb and i was wondering is it still a good dps? Good dps being around 36-38k dpsand not the borken 40k+ it was before. I would gear fb for quickness stacker but as it seems chrono still got that covered FeelsBadMan.

Dps is good, utility is bad. Cleave is questionable, sustain is horrible and CC non-existent

Use axe and take virtues instead of zeal and your cleave goes from questionable to amazing.

Dps sits around 38k, CC is poor, utility for party is good. In raid settings supplies needed condi clear or stability/stunbreak. I think still worth it but give it a bit before crafting as it may change what to use

I agree with Knox and Sorin. My cleave is very good, and I run virtues not zeal - I also think, at least solo, my single target dps is better with virtues than zeal as well. As far as sustain? If you are good with your timing and repositioning (in pve anyway) ToR can give you and your party almost a full reset. 5, then 4, 2 if you have condis, otherwise kite and space out your spams of number 1 to get the most out of regen. I have more sustain on FB than I do on core guard, and more than DH because burn build can kite better, though I do miss wings.

I'd start with a more consistent class, one where ArenaNet actually has a vision or an idea for what kind of role that class is supposed to play

True. Trite as it sounds it is a case of literally playing what you like. Results are what matter.
