In Virtues, using Stalwart Defender (middle up) decreases Shield 4 to the same cooldown as Communal Defenses (middle lower), but you will get protection, toughness, a bit of damage and control over who's getting the Aegis buff - perhaps that's a change consideration.

i realy get the end of gw2 vibe. everything is boosted its so easy to make gold and get legy gear and weapons. I played before other games and it was the same boosting something just to keep the community before realise of the next chapter. in this case its gw3. everyone says its impossible to realise it before 5 years but i think that they will use some sort of revolutioneree AI method to rebuild maps for UE5. idk maybe im wrong but ..

Is boon duration runes will affect on our allies too?

POG ❤

This is nice for pvp players! Hope WvW changes are next

The reward track & ascended cost reduction feels like halves wvw equivalents. Does this mean Lego armour is quicker by pvp?

Stupid question, but I'm not able to equip mace on my ranger. How do I do that? It even shows up as a usable weapon skills, but it's description is red and I can't drag it into the weapon slots. ???

How can you use shield if that is a herald weapon?

hello, i dont have SotO is there any alternative for relict u would rec?

Hammer animations locks are bad, the days of range spike is gone, Short Bow 4 is much better for triggering brutality, same with mace multiple hits from Mace 2 and sword 4s immob with celestial condi duration is pricesless..

Great timing - I just decided to try this yesterday! What are your thoughts on when to prioritize roads? I have been playing by using it off cooldown since it has stab reapplication and can also hit for brutality. Like at 23:40 you use vengeful hammers on push while on 26:39 you used roads. What criteria are you looking for when choosing?

staff has limited uses and low range, so for build with brutality is not best. hammer/sb, hammer/xsword, sb/xsword will work better for constant swaps, and if squad has more condi users condi weapons will work better. also sigil of celerity will be better on weapon with cc.

love the video, rlly good build, it is possible to use it in pvp arena ?

Thank you very much!! Nice video.!!!!!!!!!! I Love It!!!!!!!

My favourite build right now, a real wvw Swiss Army knife. P.S. not jelly of your Nevermore at all. Nope! 😂

can we have a gw2skills build - ???

you can also transmute earth overload

Guardian spear seems to be a good wvw commander weapon. Also the skill 1 is what the old Guardian staff was, so for me, thats a big win.

Revenant spear is awful it needs to be twice as fast. Last time scepter was also bad!

All Legendary's are a lot of work and expensive and now I hear that GW3 is in development. Damn if I will want to start over.

warrior spear needs a lot of work. awful damage, the 4 is very hard to land. enemies can just walk out of 5 with normal walk speed. it has 2 evades which is very good but it doesnt make up for the rest.

Ele spear 5 is unlocked even with auto-attacks, which is dangerous for WvW (projectiles). But, even then, you have to cast very quickly on all skills, because the 5 skills timeout so very fast.

Spear is Shortbow 2.0 lmfao deals hella low DPS on Condi Mechanist, Decent on Holosmith but Photon Forge did all the DPS not the spear

32:30 I've never heard you sound so casually disappointed XD I tried spear instead of staff on a Support FB. It felt better during combat but I missed the staff's utility.

This is a very strong and fun build, I used it a lot in the past in different squads and servers and I can confirm it's really great if played properly, it's also fun to see all the "meta groupies" dislike it just because they can't understand (and play) this build, good job! :D

Cool explanation. Thanks for th e quick video to help me understand for the current beta :-)

Do you think guardian spear would be any good with cele FB? Also, why would it be unusable for power dps DH?

Warrior spear is the peak of negligent development by them and terrible balancing around skills with a counter-intuitive mechanic. As a WvW warrior main, I'm not gonna buy this expac even if they give busted damage to spear or slap 10 evades and make it obnoxious. Worst shit we got since Junksworn.

What would be a good duo to pair with this spec?

16:33 this is not how the shield works

Ah yeah been doing this every now and then, worked really well with the power meta 3 months ago

The problem is that DH dont have mantras and resistance. The elite mantra is a big stunbreak, and firebrand have alot resistance due to traits and book 3 skill 4, in this meta is very important, but good video, its nice to see some alternative builds, gj!

Earth/Water/Tempest with Staff and Karakosa is in a great spot now.....with Arcane Blast and Arcane Brilliance, Aftershock, and whatever....you can maintain 5k+ hp/s pretty easily and keep up or surpass cleanses of any other support. Plus it fixes Tempest biggest weakness, heals/etc tied to auras so no overflow healing.

I remember some people taking the aegis on trap trait with the aegis fragment trap which was a stunbreak too for the DH. But thats probably even more conditional.

Its fun but kinda situational atm. Was better in Power Meta imo

I know this is a bit of an older video now, but I've recently discovered that if I breakdown the ectoplasms, they often turn into 2-4 or 5 crystalize dust which sell for a fair bit more than the single ecto

I see your scythe is invisible too. Such a game killer for me !

The way you structure these build guides should be the community standard. The slowed down gameplay with commentary is SO valuable! Keep up the great work, earned a sub.

problem you have, you want SOTO to use the shield and the septer has to be flattened

Finally! However I don’t have an access to rune of the monk. What is a good alternative? Thanks!

I love this build and swop between this and cele renegade (alac) depending on what's needed. Never liked mace, so have been rocking sceptre for a while now. Interested in Tempest for next patch 😛

should i use the skill 4 on celestial or just spam skill 1?

How do I use greatsword as scourge, i cant seem to see the option :( or is it related to expansion?
