Nova.7261 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Usually my pvp designs are based off of and start with major tournaments where certain builds have been tried and tested. However, with PoF being new... This doesn't yet apply.I'd like to ask what builds and strategies people have found highly effective. A slow moving Godzilla would be nice, but I don't think there are any useful builds that would incorporate that kind of preferred battle style.From what I can tell, the current meta involves stacking conditions with bursts, blocking attacks, and moving fast to avoid melee damage (condition hit and run). There aren't many builds that clear conditions well without sacrificing mobility and damage output so it becomes highly effective against most players. Runes or sigils that clear conditions clear on hit, so hitting a block doesn't activate them, giving a chance for more to stack before your second hit gets some off.Note: This is advice for quick match where you can't rely on the builds of your team mates to complement your own build.

But why limit yourself to your own ideas and perspectives?It would seem a very small minded and arrogant approach. If one wants to win, one uses everything at their disposal... Including the knowledge and experience of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova.7261 Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 I've noticed solo quick match never matching two spellbreakers on the same team. There is always one on the other team but never a 2nd on either. However, it has no issue matching two necros or mesmers together which the build can't handle. Once the "ignore condition" effect is over after a few seconds, the 2nd burst of conditions will kill.The spellbreaker's main problem is that its a one trick pony with long cooldowns.
