My Favorite No-Meta but Fun Builds for All 10 Professions [Guild Wars]

[@Eas_the_Planeswalker]

Need more like this. Not everything needs to be minmaxed

[@ryanu3708]

I like your style. No habitual dependence on cons/pcons or abusing game mechanics to maintain 100% uptime on spell protection. True OG gameplay.

[@Knuckels]

Dont know why this Video was recommend for me :D The Mesmer Signet Build reminds me of my old Speedrunning Time in GW1. My Guild and i invented it back then. The Damage was big and the Timeloss on the Speedrun was massive. Thank u for the great Memory Merry Chrismas

[@LeonAlexGuitar]

That warrior signet build looks fun! Might give it a go :) I feel like just spamming one skill might get somewhat repetitive after a while tho 😄

[@ordinaryhuman5645]

The scythe signet warrior looks fun. I had a lot of fun with a pet heavy Together As One ranger hero team build that also used similar dervish healers and a bunch of spear Ranger/Paragons, all with pets. With all of the pets and spears it's not bad to mix in a R/N for order of pain or vampire, or a R/Rt for splinter weapon.

[@Materious17]

Love the bow assassin build, my personal favorite is to use incendiary arrows with disrupting accuracy for group wide interrupts on nearly every attack

[@fruzeniusgames]

The scythe symbolic strike build numbers look ridiculous. I need to try this one now!

[@EmissaryOfSmeagol]

This year I've been making builds to incorporate pets with each profession. Back in the day, I put a pet on every hero and just put 3 points in BM 😅 but now I'm trying to make beast master builds effective.

[@codybolin3876]

Hey Peter, thanks for keeping this game alive! Do think it’s worth to complete the WoC quests for the rit hero? Or are the secondary rit hero’s good enough

[@deeliriyum]

Ty so much for these builds mate! These are amazing! I hope you make more vids about off meta builds.

[@Boom3120]

Very nice video idea u got there! Warrior one and Assassin I definitly wanna try!

[@XandersChannel-tr2tw]

Loved this video Peter! :D I love playing around with builds myself, so here are some of mine! Assassin Crit Axe: OwFjIxVzITk1KF7gQFhZLi6P0kA Dervish Heal Prot: OgOj0YPM7SEEhRrEaR2Xge0k4iA Monk Smiting Hammer (with the smiting touch skills that deal double dmg against KD'd foes: OwET4Y4MZK8BnYpYNymkm8qQVEA Necro Ravenous Bomber: OAdTQYD/HyrJSwNgUkmELE3BuEA Warrior Seven Scythes: OQojExpzKTi10kmXcfDYViXFieA Warrior Insta Attacks: OQoiExpM5pZUUJy9FDeVMTSTCA Ritualist DwG+intensity: OAaigwiMRs5NZchOMKgDSTCXCA

thx for sharing! the rit one was new, like dwg with intensity!

[@XandersChannel-tr2tw]

Yeah, it’s what I currently play when I casually log in. Very fun and great damage. iirc DwG and Intensity have same range (in area) so it really hits big in groups:D. Sadly intensity doesn’t trigger on Ancestors rage for some reason

[@cwj138]

4:20 KSS tank is so much fun in HM with the shield.

[@qwertyuiop65478]

Was surprised to see the fire paragon not using anniversary daggers since you want to be up close for the fire spells anyway. Also lets you change attributes a little to get some command so GftE actually gives a little crit chance (not super relevant, even with multiple martial classes in a party, but still)

can u put fiery mod on that? honestly i have never tried

[@nm3k511]

Any tips/builds for endgame stuff with only Nightfall/Core skills? I ask this is mainly to see how Underworld, Fissure of Woe, or Gate of Angish is approached as someone who does not have Prophecy, Factions, or EotN yet.

[@nm3k511]

At best, I can make a Skirmisher-like build with R/W with 12+1+3 Expertise/12 Swordsmanship/[3 Tactics or 3+1 Wilderness Survival] that takes advantage of stances for Sentry armor bonus and the stance damage buff on the weapon that either would lean into the suevivability with Escape elite stance or the burst power of Hundred Blades + Whirlwind Attack. The skills I use: > Whirlwind Attack (Sunspear) OR Final Thrust (sword). > Gash (sword) > Sever Artery (sword) > Savage Slash (sword) > [Elite] Hundred Blades (sword) OR Escape (Expertise) > Lighting Reflexes (Expertise) > Whirling Defense (Expertise) > Troll Unguent (WS) OR Healing Signet (Tactics) Two main combos I go for while a stance is active: > Whirlwind Attack + Hundred Blades. A somewhat nuke-like damage. > Sever Artery > Gash. Bread and butter for bleed to deep wound to eliminate enemy monks a bit more faster. > Sever Artery > Gash > Final Thrust if enemy below 50% HP. Only if I am running Escape rather than Hundred Blades. Ideal if the enemy monk is dead already. I gotten more space to retry dervish once more, but often stuggle at understanding of what skills help with the burst or tanking process that would enable insane levels of tanking given I do not have access to Assassin for A/R Whirling Defense shenanigans I seen on videos.

[@Boom3120]

If this is your first playthrough I would recommend avoiding these until you have finished all campaigns. If you are only challenging yourself, sorry, but good luck!

[@nm3k511]

@Boom3120 I have completed the Nightfall campaign already and have done HM. Just the Gate of Angish was... a force I couldn't reckon with in time. Even somehow won the first small battle in the failed creation area to shortly have the game be like, "Think fast chucklenuts!" and spawn titan enemies at my team's locations that would wipe my team since I have no way to counter elementalist nuke skills in time (the available skill capable of allowing to tank such is like either in Prophecy or EotN).

[@thiashomme]

Amazing video! I would love to see the same for non meta Heroes build!

[@nathanielhawk8775]

That warrior signet build looks op as hell, take it down before anet nerfs it!

[@montanawhite5699]

Bow assassins is a lot like thief’s in gw2.

[@CAMattelaer]

I remember a fun dagger variant for rit. I also liked that build idea

wasnt that spirit's strength too? can u share the build?

[@CAMattelaer]

It defo was. I don't remember the exact build en don't have it stored on pc. I also can't seem to link to pvx wiki but there is a similar rt/a dagger spam build over there

[@Curt49]

Great video

[@mrsmiles8140]

merry christmas

merry xmas!

[@baidggg]

Nice will try some

[@melski9205]

My fav non-meta build is monk.

[@sp-xx8ty]

My fav non meta is EW sword

[@LeonardoSkorianez]

We need a solo build for all profession pls

[@davidg4612]

Szia! Tűzzel elével kezdtem és vadásztam össze a skilleket, de utána ezzel csináltam mindent, érdekelne mit szólsz hozzá :) temp code: OgNCwszkN5uYMZkIKh1nakPD

szia, nem rossz! egy primary monk azért jobb sztem a smiting prayers miatt de így is fun
