Most FUN Builds - Not Meta, but fun to play


matthirten.6475

Recommended Posts

Hello friends,

I was just wondering if any of you had builds that were fun to use, but not necessarily the most powerful.

 

Thanks in Advance!!!

 

(If you add a gw2 skills link I'll add it to this main post)

Phantasm Roamer Mesmer

It makes mesmer feel a lot more methodical for me since I need to keep track of the phantasm cooldowns and when to shatter so that the phantasms don't have too much down time.

Are we talking like full zerker all in?

rifle +Double axe warrior haha. So much fun. The damage with double axe is insane when you run scholar. Quite a few ways you can do a high damage double axe on a warrior, you can do it with discipline line or without it, same with defense line. And you could swap the rifle with greatsword or go a tankier mace/shield build. Axe 3 stylin kill finishers....those are great, KERO WHACKKKKED, it can do as much damage as a gunflame can its just funny.

Pewpew glass hammer rev!

I don't consider it meta from my perspective as I was playing it before it became meta, and my build was better than what was on metabattle by leaps and bounds.

Swap to Renegade for even bigger crits, and more often!

Renegade can self-maintain 25 stacks of might, adds 250 additional ferocity with Kalla's Fervor, and gives solid alacrity with Orders from Above.

Bigger crits, and more often.

Power P/P Staff Thief when I roam or stay behind for callouts at keeps and such. About a minute 30 of +30% run speed and invisibility that stacks to about 12 or so seconds to get out of trouble. Not even close to meta. Dire stats mostly and some power runes. I rarely die and can clear a camp in about 10 seconds with the staff. My nemesis is a good shatter Mesmer. I don't stay to fight unless there is someone else there or certain professions / builds I know I can take down if I catch them first. It's great for dailies. Even in a group I can usually get away fast and leave my "friends" to die for me :P The 25 might stack is easy to keep up with multiple targets around. I

 

EDIT: I'll try to get the build up for you when I get off work. Don't laugh though until you try :)

I believe my Nomad's firebrand fits the criteria. It's a zerging build but can hold its own small scale too. It camps the tomes for defence and doesn't just spam them. I really like to roleplay as a healer on it. It's a fun change of pace from the rest of the dps to win the game meta in other game modes.

If you find it fun, then it is good enough for me to include. If you like playing healer have you ever considered tempest? It probably provides a bit more in terms of sheer healing but is less durable and focuses more on regen/protection boons

Not bad 1 v 1 and again I know when to stay or go. Mainly though I use for quick dailies or quick ramp up of tier and switch to another more balanced character. I find speed and *poof* to benefit the roam or lookout more than anything. TBH I really suck at PvP anyway so I find other ways to help the team :) My fingers just cannot move that quickly any more.
