Open world solo: Selfish Boon Beast Critique request

[CallousEye.5018]

Hi All,

 

I've been doing some theory-crafting on a build that I thought would be fun for open world, casual dungeons, and possibly fractals?

There are a couple of goals of the build:

+ Reach solo crit cap

+ Perma-fury

+ 100% boon duration when Vulture Stance is up

+ Ranged weapon for some engagements

+ Maximize regen potential without too much loss (crit food, signet, and regen)

 

I came away with 2 variants and I think I have preference for Skirm / BM / SB:

+ Solo crit cap with fury in BM, or crit cap with pet out and flanking (pet can tank)

+ Napkin math has more damage than Marksman variant when sigil is fully charged

+ Can swap food and Spotter for groups if appropriate

- Poor access to Might (I've had some luck stacking with Axe 1)

 

Marksman Variant: http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?vNAQNAR3XnUqAtCi9rAe8Cs8il8AL/9Wf7vP1hlQGYJAUAOdnQq3nD-jBTBQBG7CAcFlZkRJhoUVhI7PgHdDUSFCGcQA+raBA4JAEYlCjUJYAgEAJThAmn5BhAMPGA-e

+ Easier solo might generation w/ Hunter's Gaze

+ Higher base damage with Farsighted and Predator's Onslaught

- Reliant on sigil charges to crit cap / not crit capped out of BM

 

---

Overall the differences between the builds are minor and the builds are based off of the Metabattle raid dps and the Metabattle Openworld event build, but I spent a few hours tweaking the builds and any insight would be appreciated.

 

Also input on how to maintain higher might stacks with the Skirmishing build? I found some success popping Vulture, getting some stacks with Axe 1 and then using Heal As One.

Actually after looking into it, I found that the Superior Sigil of Cruelty is pretty expensive.
